Young Master, Don't Show Off - Chapter 55
[Chapter 55 Lin Xiu’s Advice]
For this little beast named Bai Ling, the thing it regretted most in its life was probably that it ran away from the tribe because of its playfulness. When it was happily playing with a little tiger in the forest, a big net fell from the sky…
It was first locked in a cage, enduring the bumps of the carriage, and was drowsy every day. Later, it was taken to a place where there were many cages, each of which contained various exotic beasts. Many people walked around in front of the cages. Later, it was taken away and finally came here. Although there was food and
drink in this place, there was no father, mother, or companions of the same tribe. No one talked to it. It couldn’t understand the words of these humans, and no one could understand it. It was almost bored to death.
Now that someone of the same kind finally talked to it, how could it not be excited and happy?
It flew out of Lin Xiu’s arms and flew around in this side hall, but it searched everywhere and couldn’t find the same kind that just talked to it.
In the end, it thought it had hallucinations, and lay on the ground in disappointment, motionless.
At this time, the voice just now rang in its mind again: “Don’t look for it, I’m right in front of you.”
It suddenly raised its head, staring at Lin Xiu with a pair of crystal-like eyes, flapped its wings again, flew in front of Lin Xiu, and after looking at him for a long time, it finally realized that he was talking to it just now.
It was happy and curious, and asked: “Are you also a tiger?”
Lin Xiu said unexpectedly: “Aren’t you a cat?”
The spirit beast in front of him was obviously angry, and began to circle around Lin Xiu, while turning, he said shyly: “You are the cat, your whole family is cats, this princess is a noble tiger clan, those bad guys who kidnapped this princess actually asked this princess to catch mice, how could this princess catch such a disgusting thing…”
It naturally talked to itself for a while, and it seemed that it was not so angry anymore, and stopped in front of Lin Xiu again, and asked curiously: “Hey, are you human?”
Lin Xiu nodded.
The spirit beast’s eyes were filled with doubts: “But how can humans understand our words? I can understand what you say, it’s so strange…”
Without waiting for Lin Xiu to answer, it pleaded: “You are the only human who can talk to me, can you play with me? They can’t understand me, and I can’t understand them. I’m really bored to death…”
“Also, they feed me fish every day. Now I want to vomit when I smell the fish…”
“Eating fish is worse than eating carrots!”
“Can you tell them not to let me eat fish anymore?”
“Also, can you come here every day to talk to me? I’m really bored…”
…
The little thing in front of him looked at him with pleading eyes, looking pitiful.
In fact, it was really pitiful. It was far away from home, of different races, and couldn’t speak the same language. If it was an ordinary animal, it would be fine. They were not very smart and could get by with food and drink.
But it was a spirit beast, extremely smart, and had emotions. Imagine if Lin Xiu was in an environment where he couldn’t speak the same language or even use gestures, and no one could communicate with him, he would soon become depressed.
Lin Xiu had not intended to communicate with the Imperial Concubine’s pet. Even if the probability was extremely low, he did not want to expose the fact that he had two abilities.
However, with a powerful enemy at hand, he could no longer care about so much.
He looked at the little beast in front of him and transmitted his voice through synaesthesia: “You can ask me to play with you often, but you have to listen to me.”
The pet suspended in the air nodded repeatedly: “Be obedient, I will definitely be obedient, as long as you play with me!”
…
Because Lin Xiu had to maintain absolute silence when diagnosing the disease, everyone, including the emperor and the Imperial Concubine, was waiting outside. They only heard the sound of the pet from time to time in the side hall, but they did not know what was going on. The
Imperial Concubine was anxious, but she restrained her impulse. Fortunately, not long after, Lin Xiu came out holding the pet.
She walked forward quickly and asked, “How is it?”
The spirit beast in Lin Xiu’s arms was still listless. Lin Xiu looked at the Imperial Concubine and asked, “Excuse me, Imperial Concubine, what kind of food does the spirit pet usually eat?”
A little palace maid stepped forward and answered, “They all use the finest fish fillets. It’s the food of the spirit pet. There is no problem at all.”
Lin Xiu asked, “Is it only fish?”
The little palace maid asked doubtfully, “Aren’t cats supposed to eat fish?”
Lin Xiu complained in her heart. Of course, there was nothing wrong with fish, and she also liked to eat fish, but if she asked him to eat it three times a day for several months, no matter how much he loved fish, he wouldn’t be able to resist it…
Although this spiritual pet looked like a cat, it was not a cat. If this little thing could understand what she said, it would be angry again.
He could only explain to the Imperial Concubine: “Your Highness, I have read in a book that although this spirit pet looks like a cat, it is actually a member of the tiger family, which means that it should not like to eat fish, not to mention that we humans cannot stand eating the same food every day. In this regard, spirit pets are the same as us…”
No one would think that there is anything wrong with feeding a cat fish, but out of trust in Lin Xiu, the Imperial Concubine still asked: “Then what should I feed my daughter?”
Lin Xiu glanced at the little thing in her arms and said: “Some cooked meat, such as chicken and beef, but no fish, and a proper amount of vegetables, such as green vegetables and carrots…”
The Imperial Concubine quickly sent someone to the imperial kitchen to get the food that Lin Xiu wanted and put it in a jade bowl.
When Lin Xiu put the jade bowl close to the mouth of the spirit beast, a scene that amazed everyone in Changchun Palace happened.
The spirit pet, which had not eaten for two days, put its head into the jade bowl and ate it voraciously.
A little maid was surprised and said, “It’s eating, the pet is finally eating!”
The Imperial Concubine finally breathed a sigh of relief, then looked at Lin Xiu with eager eyes, and said, “Are you really not going to consider coming to this palace? You just need to help me take care of my daughter, I’ll give you whatever you want…”
Before Lin Xiu opened his mouth, Emperor Xia couldn’t help laughing, and then hurriedly advised, “No, this is really not possible. The Imperial Concubine can ask anyone, but Lin Xiu really can’t. At most, I’ll give him a sign and ask him to come and take care of the pet every few days…”
If it was someone else, he might really have recruited him into the palace for the Imperial Concubine’s pet.
But this was Zhao Lingjun’s fiancé. Not to mention a pet, even if all the concubines in his harem were added together, they were not as important to the country as a Zhao family prodigy.
The Imperial Concubine was a little disappointed, but she gave up the idea and asked Lin Xiu, “As long as I feed Nannan these things, she won’t get sick again?”
Lin Xiu shook her head and said, “My Lady, the illness of the spiritual pet is caused by food. I have already told you the real reason last time.”
The Imperial Concubine said, “But I later asked Linglong to take it out of the palace frequently, but it didn’t work. Her condition became worse.” Lin
Xiu thought about it and said to the Imperial Concubine, “Perhaps, it’s because the Imperial Concubine is the owner of the spiritual pet. If the Imperial Concubine took it out of the palace personally, the situation might be different. Of course, this is just my guess…”
After so many things, the Imperial Concubine had no doubt about Lin Xiu’s illness, but an eunuch behind Emperor Xia frowned and scolded, “How dare you! The Imperial Concubine is worth a lot of money. If something happens to her, who can take the responsibility?”
Lin Xiu immediately clasped his fists and said, “It was my fault for not considering it carefully and speaking out of turn. Please forgive me, Your Majesty and Your Majesty.”
“You are just telling the truth, what’s the crime?” The Royal Concubine waved her sleeves, looked at Emperor Xia, and said, “I want to leave the palace!”
Emperor Xia knew the significance of this pet to her, and a helpless look appeared on his face. Finally, he said, “Zhu Jin, you bring some people with you to protect the Royal Concubine, but remember to keep a low profile. If those old stubborn people know that the Royal Concubine has left the palace, they will inevitably complain to me…”
Zhu Jin bowed and said, “Yes, Your Majesty.”
Because this was also to treat the pet, the Royal Concubine went out of the palace incognito, and Lin Xiu had to follow her. However, he did not set out with them, but said to the Royal Concubine, “Your Majesty, I have to go back to the mansion to prepare some things. I will wait for you at the gate of Zhaiyue Tower in half an hour…”
Zhaiyue Tower is not far from the imperial palace. After leaving the palace, you can reach it in a few steps.
The imperial concubine nodded and said, “You go ahead. I need to change clothes too.”
After a while, Lin Xiu left the palace, but did not take the main street. She wandered around in several hidden alleys for a quarter of an hour before sneaking into the Lin Mansion through the back door. At
the main entrance of the Lin Mansion, Da Huang was watching. Suddenly, he got up from the ground and ran quickly into the mansion.
Lin Xiu looked at it and sent a voice message, “Are they still there?”
“Woof woof…”
Da Huang raised his head and barked twice.
Not long after, a figure walked out of the Lin Mansion. On the second floor of the teahouse opposite, the man got a start and said excitedly, “He’s gone out. He finally went out. Go and report to the young master!”
