Baby Serendipity: The Whole World Fell In Love With Me
Chapter 288 - 287: Just Want Mianmian to Have Him as Her Only Playmate!

Chapter 288: Chapter 287: Just Want Mianmian to Have Him as Her Only Playmate!

These people had no idea about Bai Bai’s situation and were already astonished that Bai Bai could speak. Mianmian, who had grown up with Bai Bai since childhood, was even more surprised!

Mother had said that without some adventure, Bai Bai might really have to wait two hundred years to be able to speak like his parents and transform into human form.

But now, the time Mother had guessed had actually come early! And with it, the little animal, Xiaohu, whom they had previously encountered, had also begun to speak!

"Bai Bai, how did you, how did you suddenly make such great progress?" Mianmian picked up her little friend, "Did you have some kind of adventure?"

"Hehe." Bai Bai’s voice was that of a young boy, filled with childishness. Swishing his tail, he looked at the three Buddha statues in the grand hall with eyes full of reverence, "It’s because the statues heard my wish that I can speak now. Mianmian, the statues are really amazing, look at Dahuang and Xiaohuang!"

Mianmian hadn’t noticed Dahuang and Xiaohuang yet and tried looking for them on the ground when Bai Bai prompted her.

"Look up in the sky, why are you looking for them on the ground?" Bai Bai said.

Upon hearing this, Mianmian tilted her small head upwards and immediately saw two chickens with elongated tail feathers on the beam above the grand hall.

Dahuang had already taken on the appearance of a rooster. His feathers had become more lustrous, and as he stood on the beam flapping his wings, his bean-sized eyes were brimming with pride.

Xiaohuang was a hen, more delicate in body than Dahuang, with orange feathers and a few plumage feathers on her head, also appearing proud.

If they had remained ordinary chicks, without the kisses from Mianmian granting them the ability to think, they might not have any desire for themselves.

A lifespan of busyness for a creature without intelligence is merely for the sake of reproduction, and the basic needs of eating, drinking, and excretion.

But Dahuang and Xiaohuang had met Mianmian, and through their interactions with Bai Bai, Green, and the others, they learned many things.

For instance, if in the Primordial Era, demons practiced cultivation, they actually had their own directions for progress. For instance, carps might turn into True Dragons, and as for their kind, birds, naturally, there could also be a chance encounter that transforms them into Divine Beasts like Phoenixes, Bifangs, and Vermilion Birds!

How could the chicks not yearn for this?

Now, having just thought of these things before the statues and having contemplated them, their bodies actually began to change, sprouting beautiful tail feathers and crown feathers!

How could Dahuang and Xiaohuang not be proud of this?

If they could truly become divine birds like the Phoenix or Vermilion Bird, they wouldn’t have to remain Bai Bai’s underlings. Instead, they could become powerful leaders themselves, commanding a group of birds.

Just as Bai Bai always said, if they were on the mountain, he, Bai Bai, could command a group of wolves!

With several demons undergoing changes, Mianmian felt there was something even more off. She furrowed her little brows, looking towards Liao An, Ying Fang, and Ying Miao, who were still kneeling in front of the Buddha statues.

Liao An was still kneeling with his eyes closed. The small boy had his eyebrows creased into a frown, looking to be in great pain.

Ying Fang and Ying Miao, the siblings, were the same, biting their lips with sharp teeth, faces filled with bottled-up endurance.

"The Buddha is compassionate," Yong Hui finally spoke, his face wearing a smile suffused with a gentle and loving meaning. He looked at Bai Bai, then at the two chickens on the beam, at Xiaohu, and finally, his gaze rested on Mianmian, "Sister, these benefactors are fated with Buddha. After praying sincerely before Buddha, they have all benefited."

"As for these three..." Yong Hui paused for a long time, so long that the kneeling zombie and Snake Demon opened their eyes and looked at him, before he put his palms together and spoke with a tone full of regret, "The fate has not yet arrived, and their wishes haven’t been fulfilled. However, all beings are equal, and someday, the Buddha will feel your sincerity and fulfill what you hold in your hearts."

"Sincerity conjures spirits, sincerity conjures spirits indeed."

After Yong Hui finished speaking in just a few sentences, Liao An and the Ying siblings instantly closed their eyes, clasped their hands together with devout faces, and began praying again.

Seeing this, Yong Hui smiled, "The benefactors have their own desires, and that is why they are so. We are here to recite scriptures and suppress Yin energy, so let’s not interfere."

After speaking, he was the first to sit down, facing the Buddha statue.

The monks from Fahua Temple behind him followed suit and sat down, making the main hall of the Grand Hall seem crowded all at once.

Yong Jue crouched down to look at Mianmian.

Mianmian was still very puzzled, her large eyes filled with bewilderment.

The changes in Bai Bai, Xiaohu, and both Dahuang and Xiaohuang had confused her. Liao An and the Ying siblings’ persistence also eluded her understanding.

She too wished her parents would wake up immediately, but she also knew things were not that simple. That’s why she worried she wasn’t doing enough, which led her to doubt herself.

"Waking up my parents immediately" and "having Bai Bai speak immediately, just like her," were both nearly impossible tasks. Was it just an afternoon’s wish, merely asking the Buddha, and the Buddha would help make it happen?

"Little junior sister, stop overthinking," Yong Jue’s voice carried a hint of laughter, as if he didn’t take the matter seriously at all, "Cause and effect, blessings and retribution, they all have their traces to follow; you must first be yourself before others can see you for who you are."

Mianmian tilted her head, her shaved head gleaming in the candlelight, reflective enough to cast light back.

After thinking for a moment, she nodded, "Okay."

Bai Bai found it odd to hear Yong Jue advising Mianmian and frowned, saying, "Mianmian, don’t you think it’s a good thing that I can talk now? This way, I can help you with many more things."

Xiaohu too perked up his ears, eager to hear Mianmian’s reply.

"Of course, Mianmian is happy that you can talk and make progress because we are friends," Mianmian stroked Bai Bai, then Xiaohu, "But Mianmian is really worried that your rapid progress might harm your bodies."

"Actually, whether you make progress or not, Mianmian still likes you all, likes each and every one of you."

Having grown up with Mianmian from a young age, Bai Bai of course knew that Mianmian was not one to lie, especially not to demons.

Once spoken, Little Bun would make it happen, without cutting corners. Therefore, when Little Bun said that she would like them even if they did not progress, it was true.

But precisely because it was true, there lay the problem!

For the first time, the sharpness of a wolf shone in Bai Bai’s vertical pupils.

He wanted to be the only little companion beside Mianmian, not sharing her with Xiaohu, Dahuang and Xiaohuang, not to mention the various zombies and snake demons.

This was the truest thought in the depths of his heart, something he usually dared not express.

On the mountain, Mianmian would not only play with him but also with other little demons from the Jiang Family, all kind-hearted demons sheltered by the Jiang Family through the ages.

Originally, everyone on the mountain was asleep, and he was happy, yet sorrowful, to be the only one awake.

Mianmian went down the mountain to give gifts to her nephew, and he could find Mianmian, to play joyfully together, just the two of them, a girl and a wolf.

But now, there were still so many unnecessary creatures around Mianmian! Even Liao An, that snake, having received the inner pill from her biological father and having human blood, didn’t need to spend a long time to become a formidable snake demon.

Realizing this was precisely why Bai Bai gave up on going out with Mianmian and actively stayed at the Su Family to cultivate.

He truly only wanted Mianmian to have him as her little companion!
