The young girl wore a veil, so her features were indistinct. However, judging from her attire, she did not seem to be the daughter of a typical commoner.
A few stern-faced n accompanied her, intentionally or otherwise, keeping the crowd away from her. They clearly appeared to be martial artists.
The girl held a white rabbit in her left hand and offered a at Bun to the rabbit’s mouth with her right.
"Xiaobai, eat up. I blew on the at Bun so it’s not hot anymore. Eat lots and grow tall and strong!"
The girl’s voice was soft and sweet, very pleasing to the ear, but what she said was...
Xie Pan’Er found it amusing. Who is this adorable little child? Doesn’t she know rabbits are herbivores? How could a rabbit possibly eat a at Bun?
Xie Pan’Er rubbed her eyes in disbelief. This rabbit, which should be eating carrots... it... it actually opened its mouth and ate the at Bun!
It nibbled in small, elegant bites, chewing slowly and thoroughly.
A torrent of unspoken curses flooded Xie Pan’Er’s mind; the shock was beyond words.
She stared wide-eyed as the little girl holding the rabbit, which was still munching on the at Bun, casually walked past her.
Ignoring the bustling crowd in the Hall, the girl headed straight for the staircase and began to ascend.
"Stop!"
The voice was familiar—flamboyant, imperious, and arrogant.
It was definitely her clan’s elder sister, Xie Pan’Er thought.
"Stop! Did you hear ? Little girl with the veil, are you deaf? Didn’t you hear calling you?"
The young girl, halfway up the stairs, abruptly halted and looked toward Xie Yingying.
Xiaosuisui blinked her large eyes and glanced around, apparently realizing she was the only one wearing a veil.
She opened her mouth, just about to ask this older sister in front of her what was the matter, when she heard the other party say, "Sell your rabbit! Na your price."
Upon hearing this, Xiaosuisui blinked, looked at the rabbit in her arms, and thought, If I sell Xiaobai, I’ll really miss him!
So she shook her head and said very firmly and clearly, "Not selling!"
"Not selling?" Xie Yingying sneered. "You little brat, do you know who I am? Let tell you, it’s your good fortune that I’ve taken a liking to your rabbit!"
Xie Yingying took out one Two of broken silver from her purse and tossed it on the ground. "Here, I’ll give you one Two of silver. That’s enough for you to buy several rabbits. Now, give this rabbit to !"
Xiaosuisui didn’t know why, but her mood inexplicably soured when Xie Yingying tossed the silver at her.
She hugged Xiaobai tightly in her arms.
She wanted to say sothing but didn’t know how; she had never experienced such a thing before.
"I told you to give the rabbit! Didn’t you hear ? Are your ears not working properly? If they’re not, I can help you find a Doctor!"
Xie Yingying was extrely irritable today, so much so that everything seed to displease her.
Earlier, she had been ignored by the shop’s Xiao Er and had wanted to vent her frustration on Xie Pan’Er, who was standing by the door. But then, she turned and saw a young girl enter, feeding a at Bun to a rabbit as she walked!
A rabbit that can eat at Buns! If I brought it back to the capital, wouldn’t I beco the center of attention?
With this thought, she redirected the anger she had intended for Xie Pan’Er onto the rabbit’s Master.
Xie Yingying held her head high, gazing at the young girl on the staircase, whose large eyes seed sowhat puzzled!
She waited for the girl to obediently offer up the rabbit. However, even after waiting for a long ti, the little girl just stood there, motionless.
Xie Yingying lost her temper again. "I told you to give the rabbit! Why are you still standing there? Are your legs broken, or what? Can’t you walk?"
