Ninth Lady Lin couldnât hold the little tiger cub, so she had to settle for stealthily reaching out and pinching its soft and cute body and rubbing its fur.
Lin Qingluo also adored the silly and cute little tiger cub, gently stroking its little head, unintentionally recalling Huyaâs appearance when he was younger.
Thinking of Huya, her eyes twinkled, and she took out a Foundation Strengthening and Essence Nurturing Pill from her storage ring, feeding it to the little tiger cub.
*Crunch*
The little tiger cub happily ate it, made two cute noises, and affectionately rubbed against her wrist.
âYour brotherâs called Huya, why donât you be called Hunao?â
Lin Qingluo tightly embraced the silly and lovely little tiger cub, her heart and eyes full of love.
They enjoyed meat and wine for dinner, Ninth Uncle Lin staged his unique skill of raiding the chicken coop once again.
Fortunately, they had hangover pills. After taking them, they slept soundly without causing havoc in the small courtyard.
Ninth Lady Lin helped him to bed, and thinking of the little tiger cub, she went to Lin Qingluoâs room.
Lin Qingluo made a nest for the little tiger cub on the heated floor with cotton blankets. She watched it drink goat milk and then held it back to its nest, letting it crawl around on the bed.
Ninth Lady Lin adored the little tiger cub so much that she sat by the bed, watching it attentively.
Even just watching it take small steps with its short legs, stumbling and crawling everywhere, she couldnât help but smile happily.
Ninth Aunt was not even thirty years old, and she had accompanied Ninth Uncle in the border regions for seven years.
Her only son was far away in Capital City, and they couldnât see each other for more than a few times a year. She couldnât enjoy her child by her side, but she was so happy just to see the little tiger cub, she really had it hard.
Lin Qingluoâs eyes shimmered as she looked at the beautiful smiling Seventh Lady Lin, feeling a touch of sadness.
How great it would be if the world were peaceful, and there were no wars!

Lin Qingluo, taking advantage of the deep night and silence, entered the blessed land with Little Kingfisher and picked a basket full of fresh Spirit Peaches.
They went down to the valley, gathered two bags of sorghum seeds, and filled bamboo tubes with water from the Spiritual Spring.
She planted Spirit Rice seeds in the courtyardâs vegetable garden, watering half with the Spiritual Spring water and half with well water.
She wanted to do an experiment to compare the differences between the two types of water.
âMaster, what are you doing with so much Spiritual Spring water?â
Little Kingfisher happily ate Spirit Peaches as she watched her master fill bamboo tubes with water, hundreds of them in total, and couldnât help but feel curious.
âTo water the vegetable garden, feed Hunao, and make tea, we all need Spiritual Spring water,â Lin Qingluo replied without looking up, continuing to work.
âUsing Spiritual Spring water to feed the little tiger cub? Master, youâre so extravagant.â
Little Kingfisher rolled her eyes and suddenly had a flash of inspiration, linking the Spiritual Spring water to the Spirit Pill. She exclaimed, âDid you give another Spirit Pill to Hunao?â
âCough, yes,â Lin Qingluo stopped her actions for a moment, embarrassedly smiling.
âYouâre even willing to give the Spirit Pill made from thousand-year-old Spirit Plants.â
Little Kingfisher burst into laughter, her small, sharp mouth pecking at the Spirit Peach, making it full of holes.
âI think, Baoya had a Spirit Pill and gained consciousness.â
Lin Qingluoâs eyes were gentle: âWe canât be biased. If we donât give one to the little tiger cub, it will be dull and could be bullied by Baoya.â
âBaoya is a special case. Its evolution is exceptionally fast.â
Little Kingfisher was still unhappy: âTypically, monsters need to cultivate for at least a thousand years to speak human language.â
âMaybe Hunao can do it too.â
Lin Qingluo smiled: âI want to give it a chance to stay by my side forever, not having to return to the wilderness like Huya and go through hardships.â
âWhatâs the point of having a pet cat thatâs not fierce like a tiger?â
Little Kingfisher rolled her eyes and murmured quietly.
