With her head down, Bai Meiyue finished her meal in silence. She wanted to speak to her mother but unfortunately, she knew that her mother wouldn't talk to her even if she was to confess the truth. She finished her meal and quietly got up from the chair before heading back to her room.
However, the second she stepped inside the room, a sudden chilly breeze wafted over, making Bai Meiyue shiver. She looked down at the floor, which was covered in ice and was stupefied. What happened? Did she not close the window or did someone break it? But after a second thought, she realised that it was impossible.
The windows of her room were perfectly sealed, as Bai Meiyue knew that in the apocalypse the size of mosquitoes would turn as big as an eagle. Thus, she deliberately sealed off the windows of the penthouse. Forget about the giant mosquitoes; even an ability user would have a hard time breaking it, so how was it possible for a sudden breeze to break it?
It must be something else.
Bai Meiyue frowned and looked around the room warily. At first she didn't notice anything amiss but that was until she noticed Ciyi's cage. The once steady cage was broken into pieces, with metal and scraps scattered all over the floor. Noticing the pieces of the cage, Bai Meiyue immediately walked over to investigate.
She was worried that someone or something snuck inside her room to hurt the poor thing but that was until she touched the bars of the cage. The freezing metal still had lingering spiritual energy. Her eyes widened sharply as she whipped her head behind her, wanting to check the entire mess in the room.
Because she was worried earlier, she didn't notice it but now that she was staring at the frozen ice, she realised that there was indeed some mana frozen inside of the ice shards.
"...Ciyi?" Bai Meiyue called out the name of the little thing. Though she had a sick suspicion of what went down, Bai Meiyue still suppressed that particular feeling and turned to look around the room carefully.
When she didn't hear a response, she once again called the little pup. "Ciyi!"
This time around there was a soft whimper and Bai Meiyue turned to look in the direction from where the sound came from. Realising that it was coming from underneath the bed. She crouched down and found the little pup hiding under the bed with her ears pressed at the back.
When Bai Meiyue saw that the little pup was doing alright, she heaved a sigh of relief. She patted the space in front of her and called out, "Alright, you little naughty girl. Come out now."
Ciyi eyed Bai Meiyue warily and whimpered.
Bai Meiyue was about to pull her out when she heard the pup speak.
That's right. Ciyi actually spoke!
"Ci..yi… bad."
At first Bai Meiyue didn't understand what was going on. She blinked her eyes and questioned in a soft voice, "Ciyi, what did you say just now?"
"I talked?" Ciyi raised her head and looked at Bai Meiyue with shock in her eyes. However, a second later the little pup realised that she indeed talked and even understood what Bai Meiyue was saying to her. fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com
