Heiyue looked at Sihu, her cute appearance making him smile involuntarily.
She really is so adorable!
He just wanted to hold her in his arms and cherish her properly.
Sihu, noticing Heiyue's smile, blushed slightly. She lowered her head again and started braiding Baidi's tail. This time, the tails were longer, making them easier to braid.
The fox's fur was still very long, so it braided smoothly and easily.
As Sihu continued, she admired her perfect creation, a slight smile tugging at the corner of her lips, clearly pleased and satisfied.
At this moment, she looked up and met Heiyue's gentle gaze.
What's with him, staring at her like that?! What's so interesting? She felt a bit shy under his gaze.
Wait a minute—Heiyue is a handsome, manly guy with an intense gaze, which reminded Sihu of an anime villain, also a handsome guy with intense features. That villain always had a unique side braid. Sihu wondered if she should give Heiyue one too.
With his looks, it would definitely look amazing!
Determined, she made up her mind to braid a side tail for Heiyue next time she had the chance.
But for now, it was Baidi's tail.
Hehe, Sihu grew even more excited as she continued braiding.
"Lu Lu, what's this called?" Baidi asked curiously, even reaching out with his front paw to touch the circle of hair around his neck.
He thought it looked quite nice.
But he didn't know what to call it.
Of course, it looked great because Lu Lu had done it.
It felt unique.
"This is called a small braid, very cute, hehe, so adorable," Sihu said, smiling as she petted Baidi's large tail.
It was so fluffy and cute, like cotton candy—soft and puffy.
She loved holding Baidi's tail and rubbing it against her face, enjoying the feeling.
Girls naturally love these cute, fluffy things—there's no resistance to them.
Sihu especially loved them.
In the past, she had raised a golden shorthair cat. Every time she came home, she would hold her cat close and lavish attention on it—what people call "cat-hugging."
She really loved it!
Thinking about this, she was doing the same with Baidi's large tail.
The feeling was exactly the same.
Sihu squinted her eyes, enjoying the feeling of rubbing her face against the fluffy fur. It was so relaxing and comfortable, almost addictive.
She believed every cat or dog owner could understand this feeling.
And of course, raising them was good for both body and mind.
At that moment, Baidi was actually a bit shy.
He was naturally pure and easily embarrassed. With Sihu holding and rubbing his tail, feeling her soft face against him, he really...
Of course, he liked it too—he liked it when the little female was affectionate with him in any way.
Seeing how much Sihu liked it, he was happy.
It was an honor to be so adored by her.
Though his tail was sensitive, he could endure it.
As long as the little female was willing to be close to him. Fortunately, he was in his beast form right now; if he were in his beastman form, his face would be red with embarrassment.
But in his beast form, no one could tell he was blushing.
However, the large tiger and big black snake on the side seemed a bit jealous.
"Lu Lu, I also have a tail! And mine's fluffier and more beautiful than Baidi's—golden and dazzling. Not only that, but I'm also more majestic. When the time comes, I'll let you play with it however you want!" Song Zhan said with a smile, his sincerity obvious.
He was right.
His fur was thicker, his body was larger, and his fur color was prettier—much better than Baidi's, which was pure white and colorless.
What's so special about that?
Heiyue, on the other hand, simply observed Sihu without saying anything. He didn't have fluffy fur—his body was covered in scales, smooth and cool to the touch.
His tail didn't have fur either—just a little flame. He wasn't sure if the little female would like it.
Heiyue's gaze darkened a little.
Snakes definitely weren't as cute as those beastmen with long fur.
But since he had become her partner, that meant she still liked him.
Heiyue reassured himself.
"Mm, you guys shouldn't always focus on one thing. Each of you has your own unique traits. Look, Baidi's fur is as white and beautiful as snow, how lovely!"
"Of course, your fur, when it shines under the sunlight, is truly golden and beautiful. Plus, there's the crown-like mark on your head, so majestic. I like it too."
"Although Heiyue doesn't have fluffy fur, his scales are a beautiful, iridescent black, the smoothest I've ever seen. They reflect light, and in the summer, when I hold him, it's cool and refreshing. I like that too!" Sihu continued as she braided Baidi's tail.
That big tiger always dug his own hole.
Oh well, that's what being blunt gets you.
He should know that when he praises himself, he unintentionally puts others down. That could easily upset people.
Thankfully, Baidi was the quiet type and didn't like to make trouble, or else that big tiger would have been in trouble!
Her face wore a gentle smile, and her bright, beautiful eyes shone.
The golden sunlight shone down on her, giving her an almost sacred aura, bathing her in a soft golden glow.
"And also, my dear Lu Lu, my deer is very beautiful too—its body is like a blooming plum blossom, so pretty. And I love its antlers."
"I've told you all, you each have your own special traits. Different races, different traits, so don't always compare yourselves to each other. You're all the best in your own way. You're all unique."
As she said this, she continued braiding Baidi's tail.
If she was going to praise them, she'd praise them all.
She didn't want anyone to feel left out or sad just because they weren't praised, or for the praised ones to become overconfident or arrogant.
She treated them all equally.
"Mm, Lu Lu is not only fair but also very clever," Heiyue said with a smile.
Their Lu Lu was really smart!
She knew that if she praised one, she had to praise everyone to avoid jealousy or conflict.
