Chapter 1063: Chapter 1063: Baihu Became Bigger
Then, Bai Xifeng gently and securely wrapped her tired arms around Baihu, hugging his warm, incredibly fluffy body tightly against her chest. Only after physically feeling the steady, rhythmic rise and fall of his breathing did the heavy, suffocating tension that had gripped her heart throughout the past two days finally disappear.
An overwhelming wave of sheer physical and mental exhaustion quickly overtook her senses. With her precious Baihu sleeping safely and soundly right beside her, Bai Xifeng finally closed her heavy eyes and instantly drifted into a deep, beautiful, and completely peaceful sleep.
...
The next morning, Bai Xifeng frowned slightly in her sleep as she felt something warm, wet, and incredibly large repeatedly brushing against her face.
"Mmm..."
She let out a thoroughly dissatisfied growl and instinctively buried her face deeper into the soft, comforting warmth surrounding her, flatly refusing to wake up just yet. However, the persistent licking did not stop. Instead, it became even more enthusiastic, accompanied by a low, vibrating purr that rattled the very frame of her bed.
Left with absolutely no choice, Bai Xifeng slowly and reluctantly forced her heavy eyelids open. The moment her vision finally became clear, she froze completely.
All she could see was a massive, endless wall of fluffy white fur completely filling her entire field of view.
"Xifeng... Xifeng... look at me! I finally grew up." A familiar, childish voice sounded directly above her.
"Baihu?" Bai Xifeng blinked several times in utter disbelief before tracking the voice upward, looking up at the enormous, majestic white beast towering right in front of her. "You... you are really Baihu?"
She stared blankly at the thick, snow-white fur covering his entire body, her jaw nearly dropping. "Baihu... since when did you grow this big?!"
The giant beast’s ears immediately drooped flat against his massive head.
"Xifeng..." His booming voice suddenly became incredibly pitiful and whiny. "Did you already forget about me just because I changed?"
"No! No... of course not..." Bai Xifeng hurriedly shook her head, frantically waving her hands to reassure him. "I am just incredibly surprised, that’s all."
She looked him up and down in absolute amazement. Yesterday he was a tiny cub she could hold in one arm, and now he suddenly possessed the magnificent, intimidating stature of a true mythical tiger.
"You suddenly became so huge." Bai Xifeng commented.
Baihu lowered his massive head sadly, his chin resting heavily on the mattress.
Do you... do you dislike my current body?" Baihu’s golden, disc-like eyes instantly became watery and wide. "The inheritance is locked in now. I can’t change back into a tiny cub anymore."
"What? No! No! That’s not what I meant at all! I absolutely love your current body." Bai Xifeng immediately scrambled to her feet, throwing herself forward without a second thought and wrapping her arms tightly around Baihu’s enormous neck. Her entire face immediately disappeared into the incredibly thick, plush white fur. "So fluffy..."
She happily rubbed her cheeks against his soft fur repeatedly, letting out a blissful sigh.
"So incredibly soft... Ah... this feels absolutely amazing." Bai Xifeng was happy.
Baihu’s massive tail immediately began wagging happily behind him, thumping against the floor like a rhythmic club. Seeing Bai Xifeng enjoying his fur this much made him completely, purely happy.
"Then..." Baihu lowered his head hopefully, his golden eyes sparkling. "Xifeng... does this mean I can accompany you to sleep in your bed every single night now?"
He had always secretly felt a bit jealous whenever he saw Bai Xifeng call Princess Huahua out of the Mirror World whenever she wanted company at night. Out of curiosity, he had once quietly pulled Princess Huahua aside to ask about it. Princess Huahua had proudly explained that Bai Xifeng absolutely loved hugging fluffy beasts while sleeping because their soft, thick fur kept her perfectly warm and comfortable.
Now that he had finally undergone his tribulation and grown up, he was easily the fluffiest beast in her entire arsenal. Surely, he could finally take over that coveted position.
"Actually, I really do want you to sleep beside me every night. You are like a giant, warm mattress." Bai Xifeng smiled helplessly, gently scratching the sweet spot right behind his massive ears.
Baihu’s eyes instantly sparkled with pure joy.
"But..." The warm smile on Bai Xifeng’s face slowly faded, replaced by a serious look. "I don’t think we can safely do that right now."
The intense excitement in Baihu’s eyes disappeared in a fraction of a second. His ears drooped once again, looking completely heartbroken.
"What? Why? Why can’t I accompany you anymore? Did I do something wrong?" Baihu looked so devastated he was practically on the verge of tears.
"Baihu... You did not just grow physically bigger. You also successfully became the true, absolute Beast King of this era." Bai Xifeng reached up and gently rubbed his forehead, her tone softening. She sighed softly, gesturing to the air around them. "Right now, your unique Beast King’s aura is incredibly loud and obvious. If any powerful cultivator senses even a fraction of your aura while you are outside the Mirror World with me, they will immediately come after us with everything they have."
She looked straight into Baihu’s golden eyes. "They would not just try to violently tear you away from me. To ensure their prize, they will probably hunt me down and kill me too."
Hearing that his presence could put her in danger, Baihu became even more profoundly depressed.
"So... I can’t come out and sleep beside you at all anymore?" Baihu’s voice became smaller and smaller, a tiny, sad rumble.
"Actually..." Bai Xifeng smiled again, tapping his nose. "You still can."
"Really?" Baihu immediately snapped his head up.
