Chapter 459: Space Upgrade (2)_1
Situ Xin thought that since she had obtained the Jade Token from the "Phoenix Nest," perhaps she could learn what problems the "Phoenix Nest" was experiencing from it. Just as she was about to search the Jade Token, the previously burning Phoenix Birthmark on her body began to gradually cool down.
"Huh, why did the temperature of this birthmark suddenly drop?" Situ Xin, noticing this, no longer cared to check the Jade Token. She waited for the Phoenix Birthmark on her body to slowly return to normal temperature. "Now that the birthmark has cooled down, let’s see if I can enter," thought Situ Xin, focusing her attention on entering the space.
Situ Xin was fully prepared to be obstructed, but to her surprise, when she opened her eyes, she was already inside the space. No sooner had Situ Xin entered than she heard the roar of a tiger. "Ah, Baibai," she worried for Baibai and followed the sound in search of it. When she found Baibai, she saw a huge White Tiger stretching lazily, looking rather comfortable.
The sight of Baibai in such a state infuriated Situ Xin, Baibai was sleeping in comfort and contentment while she was outside the space, worried sick about it. However, after another thought, she realized she was misplacing her anger. Baibai likely did not know about any developmental stages specific to White Tigers, so Situ Xin forcibly suppressed her anger.
"Master, you’re here. Baibai missed you so much." In that period, Baibai was in a semi-hibernative state due to its development. Although it was awake at times, its consciousness was not as clear as usual. Furthermore, it used to talk and chat with Situ Xin every day. But during this time, the interactions between them were almost nil. Now that Baibai was fully awake, it looked at Situ Xin as if it hadn’t seen her in a very long time.
While speaking, Baibai lunged towards Situ Xin. Observing Baibai, who had become more than twice its original size, and its motion to pounce on her, black lines appeared on Situ Xin’s forehead. "Baibai, you stop right there."
"Master, why? Don’t you like Baibai anymore?" Upon hearing Situ Xin’s words, Baibai immediately halted and looked at Situ Xin with pitiful tiger eyes, wearing an expression as if saying ’my master is actually rejecting me, I’m so heartbroken, so hurt.’
Situ Xin felt as if she had committed a grave error. "Baibai, why wouldn’t I like you? Just look at your current size, and then look at me. Do you think I could withstand it if you pounced on me, that I wouldn’t be squashed?" Situ Xin gestured at Baibai’s size, then her own, as she said so.
"Eh." After hearing Situ Xin’s words, Baibai also paid attention to its own size, then looked at Situ Xin. "It’s true, I forgot I’ve grown much larger than before," it said.
