Chapter 45: I’ve achieved xiaolongbao freedom!

After this storm.

Song Ruoxue and Tang Yingyue had completely fallen out with each other. The specific situation was… neither of them would talk to the other, and neither of them would give the other a good look.

In the courtyard, the three of them were sitting around a small stone table.

Su Li’er was caught in the middle, experiencing for the first time in her life what it was like to be caught between a rock and a hard place, oh no, between two women.

On the stone table, the bag of xiaolongbao had already been finished.

Su Li’er didn’t even get to eat a single one!

For some reason, the situation had become: Song Ruoxue also started to fight for the xiaolongbao, seemingly to prevent Tang Yingyue from eating them. And when Tang Yingyue saw this, she inexplicably became competitive and frantically snatched the xiaolongbao to eat, as if it were some kind of competition.

Of course, Su Li’er had agreed to let them eat, but she never expected that she wouldn’t even get to eat a single one herself!

Soon, the contest between the two women began again.

“With a temper like yours, Song Ruoxue, how will you ever get married in the future?”

“That’s still better than you, useless dragon.”

“Me? You should be more worried that your little junior sister won’t even marry you!”

“What my little junior sister does has nothing to do with you.”

“How can it have nothing to do with me? Little Li? Tell me… is your Big Sister Dragon good to you or not?”

Tang Yingyue’s expectant gaze fell on Su Li’er.

“Ah… ah? Uh… she’s very good.”

“Right? I took a huge risk to save you that day. And afterwards, I even fed you…”

“Hey, look, there’s a duck flying in the sky!”

Su Li’er urgently cut her off and stared at the vast white sky with a curious expression.

Tang Yingyue was taken aback, then she understood and smiled with satisfaction. She then looked at Song Ruoxue again, her eyes expressing the joy of victory.

‘How could she tolerate this?’

‘This is my own little junior sister!’

‘It feels like my own cabbage has been snatched by a pig!’

Song Ruoxue also looked at Su Li’er, her frosty gaze softening a lot, with a special sense of care in it.

“Little Li, is she better? Or am I better?”

“Ah…? Why is the Sect Master also asking this kind of question?”

“I want to ask.”

“…Then of course the Sect Master is better~~ Ah ha, haha.”

Su Li’er scratched her head in embarrassment.

Song Ruoxue smiled with satisfaction.

Tang Yingyue spread her hands in boredom, indicating that she had already seen through this kind of childish trick, her tone full of indifference and confidence.

“Song Ruoxue, it looks like I’ve won.”

“You’ve won? Are you worthy?”

“Your little junior sister said it herself, that I am better.”

“Heh, Little Li clearly said it was me.”

The two women began to argue again.

So, they looked at each other and asked in unison.

—”Little Li, you tell us, who is better to you?”

Su Li’er’s head was about to explode. She had just gotten over the sadness of the xiaolongbao, and now she was immediately plunged into a new round of sadness.

She gave a dry laugh and scratched her head until she was almost bald, but she still didn’t know how to answer.

‘What should I say?’

‘At a time like this, of course I should say the big ice block Sect Master is better!’

‘After all, she is the target. I have to make her trust me more!’

‘But…’

Su Li’er noticed Tang Yingyue’s smug little expression, and she was even mouthing something.

Alright.

‘I, the great nine-tailed fox king, don’t care what you say!’

“Of course it’s the Sect Master…”

“Oh my, I suddenly remembered that after we escaped last time, I also took your little junior sister to…”

“Holy crap, look!!!” Su Li’er slammed the table, stood up abruptly, and looked at the clouds on the horizon with a nervous expression. “There are more ducks flying over there!”

“Ducks? Flying?” Song Ruoxue looked over strangely.

“Wow, so many ducks!” Tang Yingyue exclaimed, looking at the horizon.

Su Li’er gritted her teeth and glared at Tang Yingyue, but the latter just smiled frivolously, becoming even more得意, and even a little cunning.

‘This stinky dragon…’

“Where are the ducks?” Song Ruoxue felt strange.

There’s not even a single bird feather in the sky, where did the ducks come from?

“Ah, I saw wrong, I saw wrong, haha.” Su Li’er quickly and obediently sat down.

“Hah, you should have said so earlier. I saw wrong too.” Tang Yingyue slapped her hands together as if she had just had a revelation.

‘…You evil dragon!’

Tang Yingyue changed the subject. “In that case, please continue to answer the previous question?”

Song Ruoxue hummed for a moment, then she also nodded.

Alright, this contest of wills has started again.

Su Li’er lowered her head slightly, her mood looking a little sad, her long, curled eyelashes trembling.

Her already extremely cute appearance, coupled with this little action, made her look pitiful, like a timid little cat.

“Little Li feels that… the Sect Master is very good, and Big Sister Dragon is also very good. Everyone is very good, so let’s not fight, okay… okay?”

As she spoke, she looked up, her moist eyes looking at Song Ruoxue, then at Tang Yingyue.

Song Ruoxue was slightly dazed.

Tang Yingyue was stunned and at a loss.

‘What was it that made the two women who were still arguing choose to be silent at the same time?’

After a brief silence.

They spoke separately.

“Little Li, don’t mind it. That question is not important.”

“I was being too serious. You child, stop crying first.”

Su Li’er’s pleading and pitifulness gradually subsided, and a look of joy ignited in her beautiful eyes. “Mmm-hmm, as long as you two don’t fight, that’s good. Little Li feels that both the Sect Master and Big Sister Dragon are very good. Everyone is very good!”

After these words were spoken, the two women fell silent once again.

‘Although I don’t know what they are thinking.But the crisis has finally been resolved.’

Su Li’er secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Honestly, you scared this fox to death. Next time you two fight, don’t bring me into it!

Snowflakes fluttered in the air, and the air became even colder.

Su Li’er hugged her small body, her gaze involuntarily falling on the shriveled packaging bag again. Her heart ached. Wuwu, I didn’t even get to eat a single xiaolongbao.

“Child, you want to eat xiaolongbao? I’ll order them right now. You can have as many as you want!” Tang Yingyue was in a great mood. She then summoned a carrier pigeon and then let it fly.

“You don’t have to buy them. I’ll buy them for Little Li. I’ll buy a hundred… no, a thousand bags.” Song Ruoxue added indifferently, also summoning a carrier pigeon and letting it fly away cleanly.

In the vast snowy scenery, the two carrier pigeons swayed, braving the great wind and snow, and gradually flew away.

“Uh…” The corner of Su Li’er’s mouth twitched, and her eyes curved. “Thank you, Sect Master and Big Sister Dragon~~”

‘Yay, for some reason.’

‘I’ve achieved xiaolongbao freedom!’

After this little episode, both Song Ruoxue and Tang Yingyue’s moods had calmed down.

Su Li’er swung her short little legs in boredom, staring blankly at the vast white mountain forest. This was her first winter in this world.

‘So much time has passed without me noticing…’

‘I still have 40 days of lifespan. In another 40 days, the weather will get even colder, right?’

‘At that time, the location of the general store is so remote, maybe no more customers will come…’

‘Which means, although my lifespan seems ample, there is a hidden sense of urgency…’

‘A lot can happen in a month.’

‘It seems I need to take advantage of the fact that the weather is not too cold to find more opportunities to absorb some lifespan. It would be best if I could accumulate a six-month supply.’

Ever since she learned last night that Song Ruoxue was Song Xiaoxiao, Su Li’er’s mind had been in a state of high-level thinking, and she was even more eager to store up lifespan!

After all, potential crises are everywhere.

Only with enough lifespan can she deal with more things… even if her identity is exposed, if she has enough lifespan, she will have a margin for error after she escapes.

‘Mmm, is there any way to absorb more lifespan?’

“Little Li, I have something I want to tell you.” Song Ruoxue said.

Su Li’er came back to her senses.

‘Oh, is something about to happen?’
