Chapter 29: A Bewildering Awakening

Sometimes, doubt blossoms from a myriad of subtle clues.

Just now, a certain little fox girl, covered only by a thin quilt, completely unclothed, with an aching body and a flat stomach, found herself utterly bewildered by her current state.

What exactly had transpired last night to leave her in such a peculiar condition?

Perplexed, Xiao Xixi first sought answers from her system.

The ‘Rescue System’, however, stated that its sole function was to serve her, its ‘Host’, and it could not perceive external events.

Initially, Xiao Xixi did not believe her system’s claim.

After all, during her recent enhancement, it had specifically reminded her that her beautiful Master was not nearby.

Yet, the ‘Rescue System’ offered an immediate, emotionless explanation: it could only detect the presence of others around ‘itself’ and could not observe anything else.

Upon hearing its swift, unwavering reply, Xiao Xixi finally accepted its words.

Receiving this information, Xiao Xixi couldn’t help but sigh in relief.

If the ‘system’ could truly see, then her ‘changing clothes play’ with her Master that very morning would have been entirely witnessed by it.

Although it was merely a ‘cold, unfeeling’ system, as the ‘Host’, Xiao Xixi naturally wished to leave a grand and powerful impression in its perception!

****

Having questioned the system without uncovering the reason for her bodily changes, a puzzled Xiao Xixi quickly decided to investigate through other means.

Since her body felt sore, the clues would be easy to find. Logically, she should begin by examining her own body!

The thought of examining herself, however, made Xiao Xixi inexplicably nervous.

This examination was different from yesterday’s situation.

Though she had not yet lifted the ‘ice silk quilt’, the silky smooth and delicate touch she felt repeatedly on her legs told her she was likely in ‘first-level sleep’—that is, sleeping nude.

So, if she were to examine her body, did it not mean that this time, she would be able to observe her entire form?

Recalling her beautiful Master’s playful words, ‘Little Xi, all your fur is white!’

Xiao Xixi felt a surge of tension.

She had seen plenty of common black fur in her ‘database’ before transmigrating, and as an experienced driver, she was also familiar with the rare, pristine white little tigers.

But for her own type of white fur, *emmmmm*, she truly had never seen anything quite like it.

It is widely known that humans possess an intense curiosity and desire to explore the ‘unknown’.

When this ‘unknown’ event occurs to oneself, the effect is even more profound, like 1+1 > 2.

Thus, after resolving to ‘seek clues’, a bursting-with-curiosity Xiao Xixi swiftly focused all her attention on what lay beneath the ‘ice silk quilt’.

As she sat up, slowly pulling back the two corners of the thin quilt, revealing an inch after inch of exquisite, glistening white skin, Xiao Xixi herself did not notice.

Her pair of slender, pristine jade legs rubbed together slowly due to her nervous anticipation, and her two delicate, faintly flushed knees instinctively pressed against each other from this unintentional movement.

Coupled with her crimson face, flushed like a ‘sunset glow’, and her unblinking, luminous eyes, her appearance at this moment practically screamed, ‘I’m doing something naughty!’

However, Xiao Xixi, the instigator, remained oblivious to this situation.

Even if she were aware, she would still insist that at this moment, she simply wanted to find ‘clues’.

As her resolve solidified in her heart, Xiao Xixi finally exerted herself, tossing the ‘ice silk quilt’, which had been pulled down to her flat abdomen, into the air.

With the quilt completely thrown aside, Xiao Xixi finally saw most of her full form.

Why only ‘most’? Because at that moment, her slender, pristine white legs were incessantly rubbing together, obscuring a large portion of a certain area.

Nevertheless, despite being largely obscured, Xiao Xixi, with eyes wide as brass bells, still noticed a peculiar sight in that particular landscape.

That scene was like a gentle, fine snow falling upon a plain in early spring, as it gradually warmed and all things revived.

The tiny snowflakes could not fully conceal the vibrant life on the ‘spring plain’; instead, they imbued it with a hint of mystery and ethereal beauty.

Beholding this fantastical ‘spring snowfall’ for the first time, Xiao Xixi, astonished, couldn’t help but swallow.

Just as Xiao Xixi, driven by a thirst for knowledge and exploration, intended to further ‘approach science’ and delve into the exquisite beauty of that enchanting plain, she suddenly heard the ‘Rescue System’s’ voice in her mind the very next second.

“Warning! Warning, Host! Two adult female biological entities are approaching you at a speed of 200 km/h. Please be advised.”

Upon hearing the system’s alert, Xiao Xixi instinctively paused her ‘approach to science’ and began to ponder in her mind just how fast 200 km/h truly was.

Yet, the very next second, she heard a faint sound from outside the window, accompanied by a trace of cool air.

Feeling the cool air graze her skin, Xiao Xixi instinctively directed her gaze outward through the open paper window.

She then saw her Senior Sister Bai Luozhu and her Master Su Mei gracefully disembarking from a flying sword.

Su Mei and Bai Luozhu, returning on their swords, both possessed profound cultivation. Sensing a scrutinizing gaze, they instinctively looked back and then froze simultaneously.

This was because Xiao Xixi, the little fox girl, had tossed away the ‘ice silk quilt’ moments ago in her quest for clues.

Her smooth, pristine, delicate body was now completely uncovered.

Her soft, glistening white skin appeared remarkably beautiful under the morning light.

Adding to this lovely tableau were the lingering blush on Xiao Xixi’s cheeks and her small hands frozen in mid-air, lending an extra touch of cuteness to the scene.

Bai Luozhu, who had descended with her Master Su Mei on the flying sword, had initially planned to overcome the inner demons that had arisen from the little girl’s presence and dedicate herself to cultivation.

However, this conviction, which she had pondered all night, shattered instantly upon seeing such a ‘soft, adorable, and innocent’ Xiao Xixi.

As her conviction broke, Bai Luozhu made another startling discovery.

She couldn’t shake the feeling—perhaps it was merely her imagination—that every encounter with the ‘little one’ left her feeling as if she were poisoned, becoming increasingly addicted.

For instance, she had only parted ways with the little girl last night, and merely five *shichen* had passed since then, yet Bai Luozhu realized with exasperation that after just one night apart, the little one’s allure seemed to have grown even stronger.

*Ugh*, how infuriating! My Dao heart!
