Ze Qi hasn't had a good bath since he came out of the Magic Lotus Secret Realm. Seeing the cub's intention, he readily agreed, greeted Wu Lian, and walked to the hot spring pool with the cub and a change of clothes .

He had sent someone to check the hot spring pool carefully before, and there was no omission in the formation. I don't know how that person came in quietly without touching the formation at all.Zeqi couldn't figure it out, and was reluctant to give up this natural treasure, so he finally thought of a way and changed to a reinforced formation just in case.

This time, he used high-grade spirit stones to lay out the formation, which is not only safer, but also more alert, and a warning will be issued in time for the slightest disturbance.

Zeqi took the cub in, and was not in a hurry to take off his clothes. He took off his shoes and socks and sat by the edge of the hot spring pool, smoothing the cub first.

After carefully removing the grass clippings and small dirt lumps stuck in the fur, Zeqi stretched out his hand to scratch its chin and pinch its ears. The cub comfortably rested its furry head on his legs, squinting its eyes and taking a nap.

Zeqi took out his usual wooden comb, combed the hair on his head smoothly, and then pushed his thick body: "Move it, change the position."

The cub rolled over, with its paws slightly curled up, lying on its back, revealing its white chest and soft belly.

While combing its fur, Zeqi was thinking about other things: "Zai Zai has grown up, should I give you a name?"

The cub's half-closed eyes opened a little bit, and Zeqi pondered in distress: "What should I call it? The old people often say that a cheap name is easy to support, but you can't be too petty, lest you call it out and be taken lightly as a joke..."

While rambling, he smoothed the long hair of the cub, then picked up the water in the spring pool and splashed it on the cub, preparing to let it into the water after it got used to it a little bit.

Unexpectedly, when the cub's lower body was being washed, its hind legs, which had been lazily and half curled up, shrank together and kicked his arms vigorously, preventing him from washing further down.

The body of the cub under him was tense and stiff, and Ze Qi didn't understand, so he asked, "Cub?"

Afraid that the sharp fingertips would scratch him, the cub cautiously tucked his paws against his hand and kicked it out gently. His golden eyes were wet, and his two front paws were covered together, bowing to him again and again, as if to beg for mercy.

Ze Qi was stunned for a while, then suddenly realized: Are you shy?

His hand just happened to land under the cub's belly, just a little further down...

With a sound of "Huh", Zeqi suddenly became interested and became a little curious: "Show me." As he spoke, he poked down with his hand in a lightning-fast gesture, and when the cub didn't react, he quickly slid I grabbed it under its lower abdomen, looked at the cub with a little surprise, and blurted out a sentence: "So small?"

The cub didn't pay attention to being attacked by him, and was stunned for a while, and when he heard his words, he was instantly ashamed and indignant, turned over and stood up, glared at Zeqi angrily, turned and ran away.

"Hey—I'm not—"

Zeqi let out a cry, and watched helplessly as the cub's figure disappeared in front of him, feeling a little helpless.He didn't expect that Zai Zai's figure looked so tall and mighty, standing taller than him by a head, and running with him on his back without any effort. Compared with its figure, that place was super Surprisingly small.

What he said just now was completely unintentional, and he didn't expect the cub to react so strongly.

It seems that they have really grown up and know how to be ashamed.

Zeqi sighed in his heart, put on his robe and went to look for the cub.He made a lot of changes to the formation here, and the cub rushed out recklessly, he was afraid that it would get lost inside and couldn't find its way home.

Ze Qi took a small luminous pearl to illuminate the road, and looked for the cub near the hot spring pool, where the water vapor was lingering and the mist rose, making it difficult to see clearly.Several times, Zeqi had mistook the bushes next to him for the figure of a cub, but when he got closer, he realized that it was not, and was very disappointed.

He yelled a few times in a low voice, and there was silence and no one around.

Zeqi gradually panicked, and all kinds of messy thoughts flooded in. At one moment, he wondered if the cub ran home first when he was angry. , Bailijun's face suddenly appeared in his mind, and he began to worry that the cub would be caught by Bailijun and sent back to the fairy gate.

He hurriedly walked and shouted, and suddenly heard a rustling sound, as if it was not far away.

Ze Qi stopped, listened intently for a moment, and walked over happily, it must be Zai Zai!

It's very remote here, except for the cub and him, basically no one will come here. He pushed aside the bushes in front of him and shouted: "Cub!"

A pair of golden eyes came into view, and a lacquered smile froze on his face. It wasn't a cub, but Bailijun.

Bailijun didn't seem to expect him to be here either, with a panicked expression on his face, he took a step back hastily, and almost fell into the steaming hot spring pool behind him.

Fortunately, Zeqi grabbed him with quick eyes and hands, so he almost didn't fall in.The water temperature in this pool is much higher than the one he often goes to. If you look carefully, you can see the water in the pool boiling and bubbling, so you can imagine how high the water temperature inside is.If this one accidentally slips and falls, a layer of skin will be scalded even if it is not cooked.

Bailijun also seemed to be frightened, and let Zeqi drag him to a safe place in a daze.

Ze Qi didn't know how the other party got to this place, but his hair and clothes were all wet, as if he was interrupted in the middle of a bath, and the other party might just want to find a place to take a bath , came in by mistake.

But what puzzled him was why the new formation still didn't issue a warning?

A thought flashed through Zeqi's mind, and before he had time to think about it, Bailijun lowered his head like a frightened rabbit and said vaguely: "I'm leaving now." Luo wanted to run past him.

Zeqi felt strange, and stopped him aloud: "Wait!" He strode forward, stood in front of Bailijun, and carefully studied his expression without saying a word.

Bailijun looked very anxious, contrary to his previous arrogance and domineering, his eyes dodged and he didn't dare to meet him, and he hesitated when he spoke: "What, what's the matter?"

With his wet clothes sticking to his body, he looked more and more solid and tall, and the short brown hair on his forehead was still dripping with water drops, falling on his collarbone that was exposed because of the wide open collar, which was inexplicably alluring means.

"It's okay, let's go." Zeqi was a little embarrassed, blushing slightly, and turned his head to let him go, but at the same time, he noticed that under the faint light of the night pearl, there was something shining on Bailijun's neck. Silver light.

His face changed slightly, and under Bailijun's blank eyes, he stretched out his hand and pulled out a shiny silver chain from his neck. There was a thing the size of a little finger attached to the chain, which was given to him by him. The microcosm of Zai Zai's close-fitting belt.

When Bailijun saw the microcosm, his face suddenly turned pale.

Ze Qi picked up his collar and asked aggressively, "Where did you come from?"

Baili Jun turned his face away guiltily, and whispered, "This is mine."

"Your?" Ze Qi sneered, and said word by word: "I made this microcosm for Zai Zai with my own hands. Even if it turns into ashes, I won't admit it." He was anxious and angry, his eyes reddened. He rubbed his back molars and said fiercely: "Then Mr. Baili, I would like to ask you, why are Zai Zai's things here with you?"

Bailijun opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something in a panic.

Ze Qi didn't want to listen to his explanation at all, so he interrupted him indifferently: "I don't want to worry about this with you now, I just want to know what happened to you? If there is something wrong with Zai Zai..."

He stared at Bailijun firmly, seeing his image clearly reflected in the pair of golden eyes that were exactly the same as those of a cub, he closed his eyes, and opened them with absolute determination: "I won't let you go!" , no matter what the cost.”

After finishing speaking, he pulled off the microcosm from Bailijun's neck, held it tightly in his hand, and pointed out: "It's yours, it's yours, it's not yours, no matter what you do, you won't lose it." It belongs to you. I would like to advise you, stop in time, and don't make a fuss and lose both."

After finishing speaking, without looking at Bailijun's expression, he turned and left without looking back.

Holding the microcosm tightly in his hand, Ze Qi walked a distance with his back straightened, until the eyes behind him that had been following him like a shadow disappeared, and then his face sank, and he walked back listlessly.

As if in a dream, not long after reuniting with Zai Zai, Zai Zai disappeared out of thin air before he had time to be happy, Ze Qi couldn't accept it for a while, and returned home in a daze, didn't hear what Wu Lian said, and went back into the room weakly. Walk.

He lay on his back on the bed, stroked the microcosm in his hand, put it together with the cub doll, lay on the bed staring at it for a while, and fell asleep unknowingly.

The door was pushed open a crack from the outside, a thick furry paw came in through the gap, pushed in, and then a furry head poked in.The cub tiptoed open the door like a thief, sneaked into the house lightly and familiarly, raised one hind foot and kicked lightly, and the door was closed quietly.

It lightly jumped onto Zeqi's bed, and lay down next to him, its bright golden eyes stared intently at Zeqi's sleeping face, stretched out its long arms, wrapped the person into its arms, and licked it gently.It wasn't until Zeqi's whole body was filled with its strong breath that he was satisfied and pressed him into his arms, ready to sleep with his arms around him.

It buried its head in Zeqi's neck, smelled the fresh smell of the other party, and couldn't help but licked it again.

Zeqi seemed restless in his sleep, his brows were furrowed tightly and he let out a "huh" and pushed it out with his eyes closed.

The cub lowered his head and saw the crystal clear sweat on his forehead. He tilted his head and thought for a while, and a soft white light glowed all over his body.After a while, the white light dissipated, and Bailijun, who transformed into a human, appeared on the lacquer bed instead of the cub.

He found a posture, lay down again with Ze Qi in his arms, kissed him lightly on the forehead, and fell into a deep sleep with him in his arms.

Before going to bed, Bailijun made up his mind to change back before dawn before Zeqi wakes up, so that Zeqi's suspicion would not be aroused and his secrets would not be exposed, the best of both worlds.
