Si Bai could not help but laugh out loud.
Seemingly realizing it was being laughed at, the round snowy head suddenly lifted slightly, then awkwardly shrank its nonexistent neck back in embarrassment.
It instantly looked even more like a fluffy white ball.
Si Bai looked at it and met its gaze.
He only saw those wet, misty eyes that looked like bright red gemstones, staring straight at Si Bai… no, at the medicinal soup in front of him.
The rabbit’s glare of intense focus.
The other rabbit quickly copied it.
Thus, the two white balls became perfectly synchronized in movement and expression.
Their long fluffy ears drooped slightly, tilting down at a forty-five degree angle and pressed against the back of their heads.
Their ruby-like eyes stared fixedly at Si Bai and the medicinal soup, their gaze filled with obvious longing.
If their white cotton tails were not too short, Si Bai could almost imagine them wagging eagerly under the bed.
Lord Bayar glanced at the two rabbits and at Si Bai who looked like he was about to overflow with curiosity.
A faint thought stirred in his heart.
“The medicinal soup is brewed from precious herbs.
They like it very much.
You can feed them a little.”
Lord Bayar’s voice was cool and calm.
His purple eyes swept over the two restless rabbits without much emotion.
Then he directly grabbed the more active one by its ears and lifted it up.
Ignoring its frantic kicking and strong resistance, he placed the rabbit directly into Si Bai’s arms.
The rabbit’s fur was pure white and fine, spotless and immaculate, very much like Lord Bayar’s own meticulous nature.
The fur was soft and extremely pleasant to touch.
Si Bai could not help but think of his little black cat from his previous world.
The moment the fluffy ball landed in Si Bai’s arms, it immediately stiffened.
The front paws stopped scratching, the hind legs stopped kicking.
It was as if a switch had been flipped.
The rabbit did not dare move at all, becoming a wooden puppet rabbit that allowed itself to be repeatedly “mistreated.”
Ahhh it was in the arms of an unfamiliar sub-beastman.
It had even been touched by him.
Wuwuwu, Mother Beast, its purity was gone.
“These two are called Rabice.
They have a very keen sense of smell and strong cold resistance.”
Why was Lord Bayar raising this rabbits?
And each one was so fat too.
Hiss.
Si Bai suddenly felt a little nostalgic for the taste of braised rabbit head.
It was very fragrant.
It had been a long time since he last ate it.
If he could find some seasonings and ingredients here in the next couple of days, he might be able to prepare a rich feast and change his taste a little.
While he was lost in thoughts about food, the little white rabbit in his arms seemed to sense some terrifying danger.
In an instant, it kicked hard, fell to the ground with a thud, and rolled twice.
It did not seem to be in pain.
The little plump rabbit quickly stood up and shook its chubby body.
Its long ears were completely messy and crooked.
The left ear dragged awkwardly on the ground, while the right ear drooped across its round body.
In the blink of an eye, the two rabbits fled in panic, disappearing instantly without a trace, avoiding Si Bai as if he were a plague.
Was he really that frightening?
Lord Bayar then prepared more medicinal soup for him.
With the previous lesson learned, the sugar was added to all the later batches.
Perhaps because Bayar had already invested a large amount of crystals and medicinal soup into Si Bai’s body, his soul power had mostly recovered.
Soul power was, to some extent, a form of mental energy.
Si Bai could feel that his mental strength, which had reset to zero upon arriving in this new plane, was slowly recovering.
He was a beast tamer, and strong mental power was his only weapon.
“System, my mental strength should be enough now.
Can I summon my little Navi now?”
[ … ]
“…Huh?”
[ … ]
The system was unusually silent today.
Si Bai also faintly sensed that something was wrong.
Normally this thing would be endlessly noisy inside his sea of consciousness, babbling nonstop and capable of talking for three days and nights without stopping.
But now it was silent.
Normally, if Si Bai had not subconsciously blocked its speech, his brain would probably have already exploded from how noisy it was.
But today, even after he had been awake for quite a while, this thing had not said a single word.
Si Bai even specifically checked his “communication settings,” and it was not muted.
[[Master, y-you still have not realized how serious the situation is!
]
After a strange period of silence, the storm finally broke completely within that silence.
The sound of sobbing and crying filled his mind without pause.
This was the first time the system had spoken in such an angry and tearful tone.
[ Waaahhh, you stupid host, you were completely seen naked by that beastman!!
You went to the hot spring to bathe, and I called you so many times but you would not wake up at all.
You were sleeping like a dead beast.
You did not even notice someone entering!
In the end, that beastman even helped you put on your clothes and carried you back to bed!!
]
All the system could think about were those disgusting harassment news articles it had recently seen online.
Oh heavens.
Its host looked cold on the outside but was actually incredibly clueless.
Even worse, his host had a soft, pink and tender appearance, looking like a completely harmless fourteen or fifteen year old.
Wasn’t this exactly the standard victim profile from those news stories?!
Si Bai was shocked.
So that was it.
No wonder he had felt something was off.
It turned out his memory had been interrupted there.
“Then what happened after that?” Since nothing seemed to have happened to him, Si Bai’s tone remained relatively calm.
