Chapter 229 Little Clouds
"How...how did you find me?"
Little Heavenly Dao thought it had hidden itself perfectly, and it was even planning to scare the little fox. Although it was still a child, it had lived for many years longer than the little fox.
"Do you think I wouldn't be able to sense such a large mass of spiritual energy around me?" Xiao Jiu rolled her eyes at Xiao Tian, as if it were a cake being placed in her face and she was being asked if she could smell it.
"Help that snake go back," Little Heavenly Dao said, seeing that he had been exposed. So he simply pulled the little fox to his place in the sky. To others, it looked like Xiao Jiu was tired and asleep, but in reality, her soul had left her body and she had gone to heaven with Heavenly Dao.
Xiao Jiu was speechless and didn't understand why the Heavenly Dao was down there. It could have just pulled her up, but it insisted on taking a stroll in the lower world.
"Why didn't you just pull me up directly? Why did you have to run right up to me? What? Just to tell me you were going to pull me up?"
"Oh yeah, I could have pulled you up right away. I forgot, it's all that snake's fault."
When Xiao Tiandao heard what the little fox said, he thought it made sense. Why did he have to go down there himself? Wouldn't it have been more convenient to just pull the little fox up? It was all that snake's fault for nagging him; it had blocked his mind.
"What did that stinky snake do to you?" Xiao Jiu was very interested when she heard Xiao Tiandao talking about the snake. She sat cross-legged on the cloud, tilting her head, wanting to gossip about what stupid thing the snake had done.
"It's all because of you. You could have just taken him home. Because you didn't, he's been nagging me all day, saying 'I want to go home, I want to go home,' and his hissing like a snake is so annoying."
Whenever Xiaotiandao mentioned what Liu Mubai had done, it became full of resentment, and the soft, white ball of fur even turned slightly black.
"Oh my, you can transform? And I must say, this feels pretty good, kind of like it. I just wonder if it's sweet?" Xiao Jiu looked at a small white cloud floating in front of her. This was the incarnation of Xiao Tiandao, but not its true form.
It can be said that it has no real form. It can transform into all things in this world. Xiao Jiu is not worried at all about offending this Heavenly Dao. In the past, she was always very cautious about what she did, afraid that she would offend the Heavenly Dao.
Now I realize that Tiandao feels so good! It's soft and bouncy to the touch. If I had known that Tiandao was like this, why would I be afraid of it?
"You, you dare to be so presumptuous! How could you be so disrespectful to the Heavenly Dao?!" The black on Little Heavenly Dao's body gradually turned red, and a thin layer of red covered the white little clouds, making it extremely beautiful.
"Is this how you ask me for help? Didn't you ask me for help? How can you be so fierce?" Xiao Jiu wasn't afraid of it at all. She hadn't done anything wrong. It was the Heavenly Dao, and it couldn't punish her for no reason. Besides, her father was backing her up.
Unless she does something unforgivable, she won't be punished too severely. At worst, she'll just get a minor punishment. But since she touched the Heavenly Dao, even if she gets punished, it's not a loss. The Heavenly Dao isn't something anyone can just touch.
"What do you mean by asking for your help? When your father entrusted you to me, he said that I could order you around for anything. This is the first thing I've asked you to do."
Xiao Tiandao wasn't going to fall for this little fox's tricks. When her father placed her with him, he said that she could be used at will if needed. He wasn't asking her for help; he was having her do chores.
"What do you mean, the first thing? It's not the first thing at all. Didn't you ask me to save someone last time? Otherwise, I wouldn't save someone for no reason."
Xiao Jiu never expected that her father had reached such a consensus with this little Heavenly Dao behind the scenes. She knew that there was no such thing as a free lunch. She had come to this world to cultivate, so how could she not give it some benefits?
"Then let's say that's the first thing. This is the second thing. Send that snake back to the world it's in." Little Heavenly Dao was really annoyed by a snake. It was the first time it had ever seen a chattering snake, and it was an eye-opener for it.
"You keep telling me to take him back, take him back, but I need to know how to take him back, right?" Xiao Jiu was a little speechless. This Xiao Tiandao was unreliable at all. He kept telling her to take that person home. How was she supposed to take him? Punch him to death and send his soul back to his hometown?
"Huh? You don't know how to send him back?" Little Tiandao looked bewildered. He had never considered that this was the reason. The snake hadn't told him that the little fox hadn't sent him back because it didn't know how to send him back.
Liu Mubai, who was being nagged, suddenly sneezed, wondering who was thinking of him.
Liu Mubai habitually complained to Xiao Tiandao that he wanted to go home, forgetting that the little fox had asked him to ask Tiandao about it, which is why none of them were reliable.
"What do you think? This is my first time in another small world, how would I know how to send this snake home?" Xiao Jiu retaliated by squeezing the little cloud in her hand into other shapes.
She really knows how to create trouble for herself. She makes it sound so easy. She has no idea how to take him home. How is she supposed to take him home? With her mouth?
"I forgot, I thought you could." This was Xiaotiandao's problem. He thought too highly of the little fox and forgot that she was just a young fox who had just come of age. These things are not innate.
"It's my fault, so let me go first, and I'll pass on the things that sent him home to you." Because he was in the wrong, Xiao Tiandao didn't punish the little fox for her rebellious behavior while she was being held in the little fox's hand.
"I won't let go. You scolded me for no reason, so you have to give me some compensation." Xiao Jiu didn't take its threat seriously; she wasn't afraid of any punishment it might inflict on her.
"Did I yell at you? No, right?" Xiao Tiandao felt a little insecure after being questioned by the little fox's confident words. Had he just yelled at her? No, but judging from her expression, it didn't seem like she was faking it.
Little Heavenly Dao has few opportunities to interact with others. Apart from the chattering snake that keeps nagging in its ear, it spends most of its time sleeping. Its world is developing peacefully and in a positive direction, and there is not much for it to manage.
It hadn't interacted with anyone else, so it didn't know if its behavior had indeed made the little fox think it was being mean to her. Thinking about it this way, it felt even more guilty.
The little fox is so tiny, how could I be mean to her? I was the one who was wrong. She just wanted to pinch me, it didn't hurt or itch, so I let the child pinch me.
