Her son's injuries had healed quite well, and within just a few days, he was able to wander around.
During her son's recovery, Su Qianyang dedicated herself to fostering a friendly relationship between her son and Xian Yu Ling Yuan's Beasts of the Horde. She noticed that her son often quietly walked into the yard at night, staring at the moon in a daze.
She remembered the first time she saw her son gazing at the moon with a sorrowful expression; it made her lips twitch. Was her son turning into an artistic young man?
As time passed, Su Qianyang came to understand that her son must have been separated from his biological parents, which inevitably left him feeling lonely and desolate. Moreover, having moved to a new environment without companions only intensified his sense of isolation.
However, Su Qianyang's grand plan faced many obstacles in Xian Yu Ling Yuan. She discovered that whenever Beasts of the Horde saw her son, he would tremble uncontrollably, even cowering on the ground—this included the suspiciously striped tiger raised by her second senior brother.
Feeling helpless, Su Qianyang had no choice but to ask her Third Senior Brother to buy a few Samoyed female dogs from the Human Market, hoping to provide her son with some company and perhaps even breed them. To her surprise, her son bared his teeth and scared the beautiful little dogs so much that they wet themselves.
For more than half a month afterward, he turned his back on Su Qianyang…
She surrendered, declaring both the "Neighborhood Friendship Plan" and the "Beautiful Dog Plan" failures.
Yet life goes on, and so did her efforts.
Finally, after countless chicken legs and servings of Lotus Leaf Steamed Pork, Su Qianyang managed to get her son to stop turning away from her.
One day, after accompanying Third Senior Brother back from Dushan Cangqiong Cave during the sweltering August heat, she was drenched in sweat as she entered the house and found her son leisurely napping on the couch.
He noticed his son's pointed ears perk up, occasionally twitching.
That graceful figure, noble demeanor, and the naturally curved smile made him look eternally adorable. The snow-white fur was so thick it felt like being wrapped in a heavy blanket on a scorching summer day...
"My son, having to wear all this fur in such hot weather must be tough on you!" Su Qianyang said, her eyes brimming with tears as she sharpened her knife, preparing for what was to come.
Before long, Ming Jiu woke from a short nap, the quality sleep lifting his spirits. Habitually shaking himself off, he felt a sudden chill against his skin. Peering down at himself, he nearly had a heart attack from rage!
With gritted teeth, he jumped onto the chair and leaped onto the vanity.
In the mirror stood an unrecognizable creature: his fur had been cut short, with the hair from his neck to shoulders cruelly trimmed away, making his neck appear unnaturally long. Only the fur on his head and tail remained untouched.
No matter how he looked at it, he resembled some legendary beast!
Damn it!
Ming Jiu regretted his past decisions! How could his life as a beast be so tumultuous that after saving a kidnapped girl, he ended up in this ridiculous situation?! He couldn't even bring himself to bite her to death!
Eventually, Su Qianyang and her fellow disciples returned from their celestial arts class to find the room in disarray.
Tables, chairs, and incense stands were all shattered. Instead of running joyfully into her arms as she had hoped, her newly styled son glared at her with a look of deep resentment.
Feeling the intensity of his gaze made Su Qianyang's scalp tingle. She chuckled nervously and quickly placed the honey-glazed fish lips she had brought at the door, attempting to use culinary delights to ease the tension: "Son, I brought you honey-glazed fish lips made from the freshest bass from Fairy Lake..."
Seeing her son not even glance at the fish lips, he lunged at her like a hungry tiger. Su Qianyang screamed and ran out the door, "Son, you need to calm down! Calm down!"
Her son's fur was quite miraculous; it grew back in just three days.
However, from that day on, let alone seeing his backside, Su Qianyang couldn't get within three steps of her son for a full ten days...
