Chapter 615

Xiao Feifei in the box was a whole circle larger than when it walked.

It was white and plump, almost round like a ball; its whole body had grown a layer of snow‑white, soft, long hair, fluffy, covering its original body completely.

If those two shiny black little eyes hadn't stayed the same, Tuan Tuan would have almost failed to recognize it.

The Xiao Feifei now—how could anyone still see it as a bug?

Cheng Ru'an laughed, "You little bug, at first you only ate jerky; later, when we were eating meat, we heard you rattling around in the box."

"Your second brother is also bold, so he fed you a piece of roasted meat; you love it immensely."

"Chen Er really likes you; when we eat, we let you eat along."

"One day, Little Twelve took a piece of raw meat and fed you; unexpectedly, from then on you only ate raw meat."

"Little Twelve?" Tuan Tuan was surprised, "Is their courage that big now?"

"Exactly! It's strange, after eating raw meat, you started growing bigger, and hair grew out too."

Xiao Feifei lifted its little head and affectionately nudged the finger Tuan Tuan had stuck into the box.

Tuan Tuan patted its little head: "Xiao Feifei, if you keep growing like this, I'll have to ask Feng Zhou to make a big box for you to live in."

"Eh, right, Feng Zhou! Why didn't I see him yesterday? He must be very happy to see that Wu Jin Mud."

Tuan Tuan jumped off the bed: "Mother! I'm going to see him!"

"Wait!" Cheng Ru'an hurriedly called her, "The stones you brought back, your second brother has already handed them to him."

"Now, uh… now he must be busy receiving the key; you eat first, and after finishing go find Xiao Yueyue and the others to play, don't disturb him."

"Oh," Tuan Tuan nodded, "Got it!"

She patted her little belly: "Mother, I'm hungry."

Cheng Ru'an hurried, "Liu Grandma, Tuan Tuan is hungry; quickly bring the morning meal over."

Tuan Tuan added, "Grandma, bring me more meat that Xiao Feifei loves to eat! I want to feed it!"

"I'll go right away," Liu Grandma replied, turning and leaving.

Tuan Tuan stroked Xiao Feifei's body: "Your fur is so soft and smooth! Xiao Feifei, you're getting more beautiful as you grow!"

Xiao Feifei's shiny black little eyes stared at her, happily twisting its little body nonstop.

Suddenly, it darted out of the box, looped once around Tuan Tuan's neck, and obediently lay down.

Cheng Ru'an exclaimed, "Tuan Tuan!"

Tuan Tuan touched the scarf that had suddenly appeared around her neck—soft, clingy, not tight at all, very comfortable.

"Mother, don't be afraid! Xiao Feifei likes me! Where's the bronze mirror? I want to look at myself!"

Cheng Ru'an pointed to the table behind the bed.

Tuan Tuan ran to the table, climbed onto a chair, looked at herself from left and right in the bronze mirror, then turned to Cheng Ru'an: "Mother! Do I look good?"

Cheng Ru'an looked at the pale, tender little figure before her.

Xiao Feifei, head to tail, its plump, soft body wrapped around Tuan Tuan's neck, like a little scarf woven from clouds.

The fluffy white hair, soft and airy, made Tuan Tuan's little face look even more pink.

Cheng Ru'an stared, speechless: "Good, good looking. Tuan Tuan, you… you won't just go out like that, will you?"

Tuan Tuan blinked: "Can't I? Mother?"

Cheng Ru'an walked over and couldn't help reaching out to touch; the hand met soft, warm, slick fur spilling through the fingers.

She couldn't help laughing: "This is no longer a bug; it's clearly a living fur collar."

At that moment, Liu Grandma entered carrying the morning meal: "Miss, eat quickly, don't starve yourself."

She placed the dishes from the tray onto the table, one plate at a time, then looked up: "Oh my, is this a sable fur collar brought back from the Western Regions?"

"The wind‑blown hair, truly glossy and smooth, not a single stray hair, really cute!"

Cheng Ru'an helplessly pressed her palm to her forehead and said, "Liu Grandma, please stop talking."

Tuan Tuan went to the table, reached into a dish and took a piece of raw lamb, holding it up to her face: "Xiao Feifei, you eat first."

Xiao Feifei's head snapped up, and in one bite it swallowed the meat strip.

Liu Grandma was dumbfounded: "How is this fur collar alive?"

"It's Xiao Feifei! Grandma!" Tuan Tuan sat down happily and, together with Xiao Feifei, ate, taking turns: you take a bite, I take a bite.

Liu Grandma glanced at Cheng Ru'an, her eyes full of questions, "Princess Consort, aren't you going to intervene?"

Cheng Ru'an sighed, "You've already praised it as cute; how could I intervene?"

Fine, as long as Tuan Tuan likes it, Xiao Feifei won't hurt her anyway, so let it be.

After finishing her meal, Tuan Tuan carefully wiped the fur around Xiao Feifei's mouth in the bronze mirror, then hopped out of the tent: "Mother! I'm going to find Xiao Yueyue and Little Twelve!"

Cheng Ru'an called out, "Xiao Er! Follow her!"

"Don't worry!" Xiao Er, who had been waiting outside the tent, replied, and kept up with Tuan Tuan.

Xiao Er glanced at his own miss: "Um, miss, what's that thing on your neck?"

"Xiao Feifei!"

"Huh?" Xiao Er stumbled, nearly falling.

"Let's go! Uncle, come with me to find Xiao Yueyue and Little Twelve!"

When Tuan Tuan found the two little ones, Gongsun Yue and Xiao Jin were squatting on the ground watching ants relocate.

Hearing the movement, the two lifted their heads, their eyes instantly bulging round.

"Tuan Tuan! What's on your neck?" Xiao Jin sprang up.

Gongsun Yue also came over, craned his neck and kept looking: "So white! Did you bring this back from the Western Regions?"

Tuan Tuan proudly shook her little head: "It's Xiao Feifei!"

"Xiao Feifei?" Gongsun Yue was stunned, "That white plump bug?"

Xiao Jin also was stunned: "When I last saw it, it wasn't like this!"

Tuan Tuan reached out and patted Xiao Feifei; Xiao Feifei obediently lifted its head, showing its shiny black little eyes, and let out an "Eek" toward the two little ones.

Gongsun Yue and Xiao Jin's eyes widened even more.

Xiao Jin carefully extended his hand: "Tuan Tuan, may I touch it?"

Tuan Tuan generously nodded: "Go ahead! It's so soft!"

Xiao Jin's finger, as soon as it touched Xiao Feifei's paw, recoiled: "So soft! Like cotton!"

Gongsun Yue couldn't help but reach out and give it a pat, his face full of envy: "Tuan Tuan, how did it become like this? It's just too beautiful!"

Tuan Tuan then remembered: "Xiao Shi Er, I have to thank you! It was you who fed it the first piece of raw meat, and that's why it grew like this; your courage is huge now!"

Xiao Jin grinned happily.

"What are you doing?"

Xiao Ran saw the three little ones huddled together, walked over, lowered his head, and was instantly stunned: "What is this thing?"

He reached out to touch, but Xiao Feifei suddenly lifted its head and let out an "Aoo" at him.

Xiao Ran jumped back, pulling his hand in: "It can make sounds too?"

Tuan Tuan giggled: "Jiu Gege, you're so timid!"

Xiao Ran, dissatisfied, reached out again, and this time Xiao Feifei didn't snap at him, obediently letting him pat it.

"Whoa, really soft!" Xiao Ran clicked his tongue in amazement, turned his head and shouted, "Qi Ge! Come quickly!"

Xiao Ze walked over, looking at Xiao Feifei with a surprised face: "Is this that worm?"

"Yes!" Tuan Tuan proudly puffed out his little chest: "Pretty, right!"

Xiao Ze gently touched it, and Xiao Feifei brushed against his fingertip.

He couldn't help but laugh: "Indeed pretty."

Xiao Ran said sourly: "Why is it so obedient to you? It was snapping at me earlier!"

Xiao Ze glanced at him: "You were harsh to it, so of course it was harsh to you."

Xiao Ran, still unsatisfied, reached out and patted it two more times.

Tuan Tuan suddenly thought: "I'll go show Master!"

Having said that, she darted toward Xue Tong's tent.

Xiao Er hurriedly followed.

When the tent curtain was lifted, Xue Tong was sitting at the table reading, and seeing Tuan Tuan rush in, he hurriedly set the book down: "Why are you running in such a hurry?"

Tuan Tuan crowded in front of him, pointing at his own neck: "Master, look! Xiao Feifei is pretty, right?"

Xue Tong lowered his head, and his eyes instantly widened.

He extended his hand, carefully feeling Xiao Feifei's fur, then flipped it over and over for a while, clicking his tongue in wonder: "The Gu Worm can actually grow like this?"

"I've lived this long, and it's my first time seeing this."

Tuan Tuan asked: "Master, when will you continue teaching me needle threading?"

Xue Tong paused: "I've been a bit fatigued these days; I'll teach you again in a few days."

Tuan Tuan blinked: "Master, are you tired?"

Xue Tong vaguely replied: "Hmm, I'm getting old."

"Then Master, rest well; I'm going out to play!" Tuan Tuan ran out happily.

From then on, Tuan Tuan and Xiao Feifei were inseparable, wherever they went, they brought each other.

The crowd, surprised and amused, gradually got used to it.

A few days later.

Tuan Tuan was clinging to Xue Tong: "Master, if I feed Xiao Feifei a few more drops of blood, will it become even more beautiful?"

Xue Tong's eyes widened: "You dare?"

Tuan Tuan was about to speak when the tent curtain was suddenly ripped open.

A soldier rushed in in a panic: "Divine Doctor! Please go take a look! Lord Feng, he, he seems…"
