But it’s very strange—once you transplant them out of the space, they become just like ordinary flowers: they wither normally, and if you don’t take care of them properly, they’ll die.
Up to now, Little Tiger still hasn’t figured out why all that stuff can be tossed in like heavy rain without getting smashed.
Outside, Xuexue laughed. "Xiao Taohong really knows your Master inside out."
Xiao Taohong said in a credit-seeking tone, "Master, I’m smart, right?"
Xuexue nodded and smiled. "Mm, you are pretty smart. You spend all day studying how stingy your Master is—should I reward you with something? Like some Ingots and Candle?"
Xiao Taohong was overjoyed. "Yes yes, that’s awesome!"
Who knew Xuexue’s smile would suddenly vanish as she said coldly, "That’s never gonna happen. Just thinking about it is enough."
Xiao Taohong was very disappointed.
Xuexue said, "Since you keep saying your Master is stingy, how could I possibly bear to waste money on you lot?"
Xiao Taohong knew her Master was still holding a grudge over her calling her stingy just now, so she immediately said, "Master, I was wrong, I was wrong."
Xuexue asked, "Will you dare speak ill of your Master again in the future?"
Xiao Taohong said, "Don’t dare, don’t dare, I’ll never dare again."
Xuexue nodded in satisfaction. "Mm, behave yourself and I’ll buy you some Ingots, Candle and Incense later."
Xiao Taohong drooped, listlessly replying, "Oh."
Little Tiger curled his lip disdainfully, glared at Xiao Taohong floating in midair, and muttered, "Useless. Just a few words from Master and you’re completely tamed."
Xiao Taohong refused to show weakness. She glared at Little Tiger and said, "If you’ve got the guts, go butt heads with Master yourself!"
Then she pouted and muttered to herself, "Like you’re any better—you’re also beaten down by Master every time. And you still have the nerve to diss me."
"...!"
Little Tiger choked on that, then put on a magnanimous look and said grandly, "Forget it, forget it. A real man doesn’t fuss with a little woman. This young lord won’t stoop to your level."
Xiao Taohong said scornfully, "Still calling yourself a real man? Don’t forget, you’re just a little tiger!"
Little Tiger said proudly, "I’m a Thousand Year Striped Tiger. No matter how you cut it, I’m male, and male is still a man."
"Male?"
"Yeah, male."
Suddenly Xiao Taohong burst out laughing. "Don’t make me die laughing. You little brat—you dare call yourself ’male’?"
Little Tiger retorted indignantly, "This young lord is male, and I’m gonna marry you in the future!"
The laughter cut off abruptly. Xiao Taohong’s face flushed red, and she threw back, "Shameless."
Then her figure flickered and drifted far, far away.
The little ghost girl was shy.
Little Tiger was smug now. His chubby little hand rubbed his chin as he chuckled to himself, "You little thing, this young lord refuses to believe I can’t handle you."
Strangely enough, nobody else can hear Xiao Taohong and Little Tiger talking inside the space—yet for some unknown reason, only Xiao Jiu can hear them.
Xiao Jiu shouted, "Master, you smacked Little Tiger again!"
Xuexue said carelessly, "It’s fine. His hide is thick and his flesh is tough; one hit won’t kill him."
Little Tiger in the space heard that and couldn’t help roasting her in his heart: "Master, why do you sound like a stepmother?"
The Weirdo and the Elder only stopped after they’d mangled the Empress Dowager’s corpse beyond recognition. Xuexue clearly saw the Empress Dowager’s soul hovering not far away, watching them and trembling all over.
The Empress Dowager’s soul didn’t know Xuexue could see her. To avoid trouble, Xuexue pretended not to see and just walked right past her.
Just as she was about to pass, the Empress Dowager behind her suddenly twisted her face into a hideous mask, completely dropping the weak and fragile act, and stretched out long fingers that clamped around Xuexue’s neck in an instant.
