Chapter 480: Chapter 480 Impulsiveness (1)_1

"Baibai, you just..." Situ Xin hadn’t expected that Baibai would have this trick up its sleeve, which completely caught her off guard.

Thinking that Situ Xin would scold it for being impulsive, Baibai quickly tried to please her, "Master, Baibai was just too furious with that woman, she actually dared to attack Master. That was too much. So, Baibai took action and gave her a little lesson." After hearing Baibai’s words and glancing at Li Yipei, who was still holding her face and wailing, Situ Xin couldn’t help but twitch her mouth. This was Baibai’s idea of a ’little lesson’? By her estimate, Li Yipei’s face must have been disfigured by Baibai.

Waiting for a response from its master, Situ Xin, Baibai grew increasingly uneasy as time passed without one. It feared that its master would blame it for being too impulsive, especially since it had acted without its master’s instructions. Baibai quickly put on a pitiable expression, looking at Situ Xin: "Master, Baibai knows it was too impulsive. But you can’t blame Baibai, right? Baibai has just advanced and become a mature tiger, and it hasn’t fully mastered its emotions yet. Just now, in a moment of impulsivity, it struck out at that woman," Baibai said, hoping Situ Xin wouldn’t be angry.

"Enough, stop making up excuses. When have I ever blamed you? You were thinking of me, and if I were to get angry with you over this, or punish you, that would be quite unreasonable, wouldn’t it?" Situ Xin said, stroking Baibai’s tiger fur.

"Yes, yes, Master, I knew you would understand Baibai," Baibai said, eagerly acting spoiled upon hearing that Situ Xin wasn’t mad.

"Baby, how should we deal with Li Yipei now?" Situ Haotian asked Situ Xin, frowning as he looked at Li Yipei, who was crouching on the ground in pain.

"Her face seems to be disfigured. Dad, have someone take her to the hospital for treatment," Situ Xin said after glancing at Li Yipei, speaking to Situ Haotian.

"Disfigured?" Since Li Yipei had been covering her face the whole time, Situ Haotian hadn’t seen the extent of her injuries, so he hadn’t considered the possibility that she might have been disfigured, despite her continuous screaming and crying.

"Yes. This serves as punishment for always using her looks to seduce men," Situ Xin said indifferently, as if the disfigurement was a minor injury.

Situ Haotian had someone from his office take Li Yipei to the hospital. Only then did he return to his own office.

As Situ Haotian entered his office, he saw Situ Xin and Baibai sitting on the sofa, happily eating apples, which made him feel a mix of amusement and helplessness. "Baby, take Baibai and head back now. I expect that Li Yipei’s family will rush over here as soon as they get the news about her disfigurement."

Situ Haotian didn’t want his beloved daughter to be involved in this matter, so he urged Situ Xin and Baibai to leave his office promptly.

"Let them come. I have business with them anyway. This saves me a trip," Situ Xin replied nonchalantly, completely disregarding her father Situ Haotian’s concern. "Dad, have an apple," she offered cheerfully, taking an apple from her Storage Ring and handing it to her father. She had discovered that the fruits from this space tasted even more delicious after the last upgrade.

Situ Xin discussed this with Baibai for a while. Eventually, she and Baibai concluded that the fruit becoming delicious must definitely be related to the increasingly dense Spiritual Energy in this space.

"Baby," Situ Haotian looked at the apple his daughter had stuffed into his hand, feeling a mix of laughter and tears. Now was hardly the time to be eating apples. After all, Li Yipei’s family would be charging over any minute now.

Originally, he had legitimate reasons for firing Li Yipei, and he wasn’t the least bit afraid of Li Yipei or her family causing a scene. Even slapping Li Yipei didn’t weigh on his conscience at all. But now, the situation had changed since Baibai, the creature in his precious daughter’s arms, had disfigured Li Yipei. This changed the nature of the whole incident.

When Li Yipei’s family kicked up a fuss, even though he was capable of handling it well, he still didn’t want to drag his precious daughter into it.

However, Situ Xin clearly didn’t see it the same way. After all, this trouble was caused by her Divine Beast, Baibai. No, Situ Xin didn’t regard it as a mess caused by Baibai. Instead, she felt that disfiguring Li Yipei was letting her off lightly.

Li Yipei had actually dared to lust after her father and, because of a few words from her, had even thought about laying hands on her. For the things Li Yipei had done, if it were any other time, Situ Xin wouldn’t have stopped at just disfiguring her.

"Dad, there’s no need to get worked up. I think the one who should be leaving now is you, not me," said Situ Xin indifferently after taking a bite of the apple.

"What? You want me to leave?" Situ Haotian felt like there must be something wrong with his ears.

"Yes, you leave. Since this was done by Baibai, as its master, I have the duty to stay and clean up this mess," Situ Xin stated. Not only did Situ Haotian look disapproving, but even Baibai gazed at Situ Xin with dissatisfaction. "Master, how can you talk about Baibai like this? Baibai was punishing the person who wanted to bully Master, not causing trouble." Since Baibai learned about its master’s thoughts, it had let go of any worry about having acted without its master’s orders.

No sooner had Baibai finished speaking than it was firmly slapped by its unscrupulous master, Situ Xin, signaling it to keep quiet. Baibai, almost dropping the apple in its mouth from Situ Xin’s slap, looked at her with dissatisfaction but dared not say anything more.

"Baby, Dad will take care of this matter. I don’t want to drag you into it," Situ Haotian still tried to persuade Situ Xin to leave. But Situ Xin didn’t let him finish his speech and stopped him with a wave of her hand.

"Alright, Dad, there’s no need to say any more. I’ll be honest with you. The Dark Division just received a task related to Li Yipei’s father, Li Yong. He’s not the key figure in this task, but he is an important one. I need to capture him without alarming his associates. And this incident provides me with just that opportunity." Although the assignments from The Dark Division were highly confidential, Situ Xin didn’t maintain absolute secrecy with her family. If a family member asked about something that wouldn’t affect their personal safety, she didn’t mind sharing a bit with them.
