Chapter 1716 “Little Rice Returns (3)”

Right as Bai Yan’s about to lay down the dish and take a seat herself, the demon queen suddenly picked up on a couple of energy signatures quickly drawing close. Squinting those eyes to conclude who they are, a flash of bright light flickered in her eyes: “It looks like I won’t be able to stay for this meal.”

As anticipating as he was about to eat his mother’s cooking after so long, Bai Xiachen was more curious about the reasoning for that comment: “Why Mother?”

“The three of them are back.”

Three?

Biting her chopstick, Di Xiao Wan turns to ask as well since she’s also curious: “Isn’t Little Rice (tiger) and Tsing Yi (dragon) only two? Why is there suddenly three? Sister-in-law, what did you tell them to do that they would bring someone else along?”

Bai Yan made a meaningful smile at their question: “You are forgetting about Black Turtle.”

That instantly brought a touch of surprise to the princess’s face: “Black Turtle? You found him already?!”

“Mhmm, it’s during the time I was gone in the Celestial Realm. I went to the place where Black Turtle resided and brought him home. All of you stay and eat, I’ll go meet them first.”

Bai Yan normally wouldn’t just leave her family behind for no reason, it’s just that she hasn’t forgotten about the promise with Suzaku the Vermillion Bird. Back then that phoenix claimed she had something for herself if she could gather the other three sacred beasts. Now that they are back, it’s time she went and retrieved said item.

“Mother, I’ll go with you.” Bai Xiachen jumps up from his own stool, “I haven’t seen Little Rice for so long, I miss him too.”

In this world for the steambun, that white tiger held a very special position in his heart. They’re childhood friends, the type that grew up together side by side and took the fault for his own mischievous deeds. Naturally he must go meet this friend that’s been gone for so long.

“That’s fine, you come along then.” Bai Yan didn’t reject the proposal and led the way.

Not far away after leaving the palace door, the demon queen could see the three black dots in the sky that’s quickly descending to their position.

In the middle would be a woman in green, her face carrying a heroic feel. This would of course be Tsing Yi the Azure Dragon. Then beside to the left would be a man donning a deep black robe and warmly smiling at herself, this would be Black Turtle who had a air of a scholar. And then to the right…. Well, Bai Yan expected a white tiger and instead found a young handsome boy that hasn’t quite shed his youthlike air yet.

At first the demon queen became perplexed by the sight, but she soon recognized who this new boy was: “Little Rice, didn’t you say you don’t want to take on a human form because it’s not as mighty looking as your tiger form?”

Blushing red in the face, the young boy quipped a stammering reply: “I… I…”

“Pff,” Tsing Yi could no longer hold back her laughter and blurted out the truth, “that’s easy to explain Mistress. Little Rice made a bet with Black Turtle and he lost. The consequence is him taking a Transformation Dan Pill and him turning out like this…”

Little Rice twitched in the mouth at being teased: “Can you stop mentioning that already? OH RIGHT! Mistress, is that crazy lass Huang Xiao Ying around? I don’t want to be here if she is.”

His eyes quickly and carefully scanned the area in a wary manner, that face told everyone how much he disliked being chased after by a female.

Good thing that mad lass isn’t around, otherwise she will never let me go in this form.

Unfortunately for Little Rice, his sense of security didn’t last for even a minute when a hurricane blew right into him. Next thing he knew was a pair of arms wounding tightly around his neck and a pair of legs locking onto his own waist like he’s been caught by a crane.

“Husband, you’re finally back in the Demon Realm! Oh how I missed you!” Huang Xiao Ying the tigress gleefully bemoans like a good little wife, her breast repeatedly rubbing against his to let their body interact.

Flushing hard until it’s a cherry red, Little Rice snaps: “You crazy woman, who said I am your husband? You got the wrong person!”

The tigress blinked and wrinkled her nose as she sniffed his scent: “No, I am not mistaken, you are my husband Little Rice. I am following you for life, you won’t lose me so easily!”
