Chapter 265: Where the Spirit Beast Went (9)
“Cho, Tski!!?”
The creature had been thrashing around on its back, kicking its legs wildly—until it froze completely at the sound of my voice.
Its antennae slowly turned toward me. Its head was facing the other direction, so it couldn't see me; it must’ve used its antennae to sense me instead.
Why is this little one lying upside down here all of a sudden? I glanced around—and right beside me were Cho, Hyang, Bini, and Hwayang, all fast asleep.
The sight of them tangled together in a tight little ball immediately caught my eye.
Cho had her chin resting on Bini’s body, Hyang was draped lazily across Cho, and Hwayang was wedged sideways in the narrow space between Hyang and Cho.
They were twisted up like kids wrapped in holiday silk ribbons—an utterly heartwarming and adorable sight.
Was this... the peaceful image of sisterly affection I had always wanted to see?
“What happened? When did they get this close?”
A smile naturally crept onto my lips.
After all, there had always been a bit of tension between the girls. Hwayang and Hyang usually slept together, but Bini and Cho kept a cool distance, even choosing opposite sides when we slept in the Tang Clan’s quarters.
But now they were all tangled up in one sleeping pile. That could only mean one thing: whatever that cold war was, it had thawed.
