Xiao Bai

A small girl looking about 7-8 with fox ears was running away and a bunch of boys were throwing rocks at her.

She had scattered clothing and her platinum blonde hair had all sorts of dirt in them. Her face had lost all color, it looked like a blank piece of paper. and tears and snort were flowing all over.

"Stop please uuu uu I will leave uuu"

"Get lost you demonic beast"

"Brother fang let's sell her as a slave we will get lots of money"

"Hahaha right"

"Uuuu please I beg you let me go please let me go. "

"Hahaha you animal how dare you enter our city"

"Uuu please help me, someone"

A bunch of boys around 12 or 13 years of age were chasing her while hurling curses

Listening to their conversation Long Chen was reminded of his mother, who had so much trouble staying at the clan due to her exquisite looks she always attracted trouble and was always bullied, still she was incredibly kind.

The little girl reminded him of his mother from the tone of her voice and the sorrow he saw on her little face.

Long Chen's Mother Even took care of him, who was the flesh and blood of her assailant. She loved him with all her heart and gave him all the love a child needed.

People's hearts often have malice buried in them which they take out on weaklings to bury their frustration. Thinking of this Long Chen's eyes grew moist as he remembered a scene.

…

"Wuwu mother it hurts"

A small boy with his face looking like it had been shredded was wailing on top of his lungs. Sitting beside him was a woman who seemed to have undergone the same torture.

"It's alright chener it will go away"

Saying that she lightly tapped his head while doing her best to hold back her tears which were welling up in her eyes. When the little boy noticed his mother's shoulder's shaking he stopped crying and wrapped his arms around them.

The mother and son sat quietly.

Some distance away was a group of beautiful women and small children.

"Tch that slut is pretentious as always"

"Good thing we taught that bitch a lesson"

"Hahaha husband would be amused knowing this"

…

Long Chen snapped out of his daze but his face was wrapped not letting anyone know what he was thinking. Once again looking at the little girl something snapped inside of him.

Long Chen quickly maneuvered and got in front of this girl and stared at those little runts. They were about to say something but the moment they looked at his face and felt his killing intent half of them fainted and the other half started kneeling and kowtowing.

The little girl was observing this from the side and felt strange why this man was helping her. Long Chen glared in a threatening manner at those boys. If they were a little bigger he would have directly killed them.

If he killed these little boys right now it will ruin some of his reputations and impede his future plans.

"Long Bai"

"Yes young master"

"Break there arms and legs, cripple their dantians and throw them back to their houses, tell their parents, that if they continued to behave atrociously in this city I would skin them alive"

"Yes, sir" Long Bai shuddered although he did not think anything wrong with bullying a child demonic beast he still complied with the instructions.

Having dealt with them Long Chen turned to the girl squatted down and rubbed her little head.

"Little girl you are okay now"

The little girl's eyes widened unsure if this is real or not. 'Why is helping me does he want to eat me

"mm thank you, young lord " While saying that she lowered her head shrunk back as if scared of Long Chen.

"Whats your name ?"

"Lord I don't have a name"

"How about this you can come with me to my estate and work as a maid there no would bully you"

The girl was hesitating, her eyelids were heavily fluttering as she felt it was too good to be true.

'Is he someone who will help me, he might bully me like others and make my life hell'

Although she felt that Long Chen did not mean any harm for some reason she wasn't ready to accept the fact that someone could be nice to her. She was fidgeting and even some tears started welling up in her eyes.

'If I make him mad he might beat me'

'Gurru'

"Haha looks like you are hungry come with me" Long Chen couldn't bear to look at her anymore.

The more he looked at her the more she reminded him of his mother. So he lightly patted her head to make her comfortable.

The little girl looked very happy and pitifully tugged along his sleeve with looking at him with her large eyes.

Long Chen held her hand and took her to his estate while using his spiritual force to check her body he almost fell.

'SHE's a nine tail fox"

Nine tail foxes are increasingly rare even in the immortal realm and their birth symbolizes the prosperity of the tribe since their birth they are termed as the leaders of their tribes. They are heaven's favorite race which is blessed with exceptionally good fortune.

'Why would one be here' and Long Chen could see a seal was put on her dantian making her unable to cultivate and even suppressing her existing cultivation.

She should be at essence gathering at birth or even soul transformation.

Demonic beasts are divided into 2 types.

The ones with common or lower bloodlines which may or may not gain sentience are called demonic beasts. They generally live in their natural environment and primarily hunt other being for their cultivation.

The Ones with higher bloodlines are called demons. They live together and form tribes. Hunting and devouring other creatures also help with their cultivation but they are not dependent on it.

Moreover, unlike demonic beasts, they have a proper heritage, which included various arts and methods, thus they cultivate normally as well

"Long Bai"

"Yes young lord"

"Investigate everything about this little girl"

Long Chen then took her to his estate where he got his maids to wash her up and put on some decent clothes.

Meanwhile, Long Chen listened to Long Bai's report

She seems to have been staying in the forest where she picks on berries and fruits, for the sake of food she came to the city but unfortunately due to her beastly ears she was chased away and beaten up quite a bit.

"Long bai take my command token for everyone who has beaten her go and break all the bones in their body regardless of their affiliations. At the very least find all the spoiled brats like these, who have at one point of time been her perpetrators."

Since Long Chen took her as his own he would never let his people suffer any kind of injustice and any debt even a glare would be paid back in full.

Long Chen was pissed listening to Long Bai's report. When Long Bai took his leave the little girl walked out.

She was dressed in a yellow daffodil dress while light blonde hair draping over her shoulder, Her eyes were light blue as if reflecting the purest of lakes and her skin looked like it was made out of the finest of jades with her slightly chubby cheeks she seemed super huggable and lovable.

The maids felt like kidnapping this girl and taking her home because she was just too cute.

The girl was constantly looking around and biting her nails in shyness, She felt this environment was very unfamiliar but surprisingly soothing. She was just like a newborn chick observing everything carefully.

"Little girl come to have some food"

Long Chen held her hand and took her to the dining table where all sorts of dishes were placed including demonic beast meat.

She was hesitant at first but under the encouragement of long Chen and the girls she started eating happily and her appetite was ginormous.

'So good the food is the best I ever had should I eat a little less so the young master doesn't think I am a glutton'

"Silly girl eat all the food you want we have tons of it. Here try this Tempura fried chicken" Saying that Long Chen took a piece of that to her mouth.

"Gomp it's good"

"Here this is some Feline fish "

"Gomp it's so soft"

"Here have some milk"

The little girl's face was dripping with oil and grease but there was an expression of joy where her eyes were in a crescent shape and her mouth dripping in bliss.

"Alright, then big brother will make sure you are living comfortably for now. Do you wanna live here ?"

"Y-yes"

While Saying that she was heavily nodding her head.

Long Chen felt that she should live like a simple mortal for a while before he undoes her seal and has her cultivate.

After a child deserves happiness and he doesn't want to use her as a tool. After the meal was done Long Chen had her sit on his lap.

"Let's give you a name what do you think ?"

"Whatever you think is the best lord ?"She replied innocently while blinking her big eyes.

"Okay from now on you are called Xiao Bai okay ?"

Long Chen's answer was uncreative as always but Xiao Bai felt very happy that someone cared enough for her to give her a name.

"Umm Okay," Xiao Bai Nodded like a chicken.

"Xiao Bai listen we are a family now you will eventually be my personal maid so I will make sure that no one can bully you. Alright ?"

"Really ?" Tears started welling up in Xiao Bai's eyes and she started shivering a little

"Yeah"

Saying that he gently hugged her.

'Xiao Bai is not alone in this world now I have a family" Xiao Bai thought to herself

Then he chatted with her for a while before the maids took her away to teach her about work stuff.
