Bai Ju stood up, shook his hair, shrank his body to the size of a normal Samoyed, and replied: “You just need to worry about what you eat. It doesn’t matter whether I eat it or not.”
Xiao Yao smiled and caressed his forehead with his five fingers. Bai Ju moved his ears and moved his head: “Okay, you are right.”
Then he thought for a moment and said, “I can eat whatever you like. There are many new things in modern times, but even if you ask me to order, I will only be able to order two kilograms of braised beef which is really not very impressive.”
Xiao Yao’s cheerful smile froze slightly, but he didn’t say much. He just pinched Bai Ju’s ears and said, “I’ll go wash up first, Bai Wang can walk around the house as he pleases.”
Bai Ju nodded slightly and ran out of the bed. With his tail sweeping, the sheets and pillows on the bed were flattened by invisible force and stacked neatly. Then, Bai Ju came out. He went to the bedroom and didn’t really wander around the mansion. He just went to the living room in a decent manner, settled on the sofa against the wall, pressed the remote control and turned on the educational film that was showing last night.
Xiao Yao came down from the second floor after a while and went to the kitchen.
Although he could make some food by himself, he often didn’t have much thought to make breakfast more unique since he lived alone, so the ingredients in the refrigerator were not very rich. Xiao Yao rummaged through the ingredients, made some ham and omelette sandwiches, added some lettuce, tomato slices, squeezed some salad dressing, and it was considered a salad.
“Bai Wang, can you eat chocolate?” Xiao Yao poked his head out of the kitchen and explained, “It is a human food that is sweet, and ordinary dogs cannot eat it because it will be poisonous. Are you okay?”
Bai Ju heard this, raised his head and looked at Xiao Yao and said: “It’s okay, I can eat anything that humans can eat.” He could also eat what humans couldn’t eat. When he was really hungry, he had done everything but taking poison to satisfy his hunger.
Xiao Yao said he understood it and went back to the kitchen to make two cups of hot cocoa. After thinking about it, he replaced Bai Ju’s portion with a bowl.
Many demons had a wide range of recipes, and Bai Ju was a demon king with merits and virtues. He was basically invulnerable to all poisons. However, he still needed to be careful with such sensitive foods. Xiao Yao himself liked to drink something sweet in the morning, such as orange juice, cocoa, sweet milk, and sweet soy milk, which could make people feel that the whole world was beautiful. He hoped Bai Wang felt the same way.
Xiao Yao put the hot cocoa on the table, wiped his hands, took off his apron, and invited Bai Ju to come in for breakfast.
Bai Ju had already pricked up his ears and was waiting for Xiao Yao to greet him. Then he jumped to the ground and walked to the kitchen.
Xiao Yao had already set the table, not paying much attention to the plating. There was cocoa on both ends of the small table, and a woven rattan basket was placed in the center of the table, lined with paper and filled with sandwiches.
“Sandwiches, try something new and I’ll make something delicious for you another day.” Xiao Yao said, taking two pieces of sandwiches and putting them on his plate, then pushing the rest in front of Bai Ju, “The portion may not be enough.”
The big demons were all big eaters. They could eat a cow without belching, and they could only smack their lips with half a basket of sandwiches.
Bai Ju picked up a piece of basket-head sandwich, chewed it into pieces and swallowed it without tasting anything. After hesitating for a moment, he picked up another piece and bit it carefully.
This time it seemed to have a bit of a layered feel. The soft and fresh sliced bread was topped with crisp vegetables and salty ham, and was also mixed with the taste of protein, fat and salad. It tasted delicious but not very heavy. Bai Ju liked it very much.
After eating three pieces as slowly as possible, Bai Ju raised his head and saw Xiao Yao drinking cocoa from a cup. He was looking at him with his chin in one hand and his eyes seemed to be smiling.
Bai Ju was a little embarrassed.
After puckering his ears, he changed direction and took two sips of the hot cocoa. The sweetness came to the tip of his tongue, making him wag his tail involuntarily.
After breakfast, the two of them didn’t talk much, but the atmosphere became more and more harmonious.
Xiao Yao put away the tableware and looked at the time. It was already a quarter past eight in the morning.
In the past, he would naturally wake up at around six o’clock in the morning, wash up and finish breakfast by himself around seven o’clock. This time, with Bai Ju by his side, he stayed in bed for more than an hour, leisurely arriving at this time. If it was a normal work day, it would just be a good time to go to work now.
As the director of the Demon Management Bureau, Xiao Yao had already taken a look at the accumulated affairs last night. There was nothing that needed his intervention for the time being, so he was relatively free. After packing up the things in the house, he saw Bai Ju sitting there, waiting for him on the sofa.
After turning around and sitting next to Bai Ju, Xiao Yao watched the enlightenment film on TV and realized something inappropriate.
After a whole morning of communication, Xiao Yao learned that Bai Ju’s common sense level was not particularly low. Compared with the little demons who knew nothing and were just fledglings, Bai Ju could keep up with the times at best, both in terms of cognition and personality. It was just a bit old-fashioned.
Maybe he needed a walk.
A thought flashed through his mind, and Xiao Yao couldn’t help but stretch out his hand to rub Bai Ju’s head and asked, “Bai Wang, why don’t we go out for a walk?”
Bai Ju turned his head and looked up at the human beside him, his throat whining as he said: “What’s wrong? Is there anything you want to buy?”
Xiao Yao said: “It’s not that I want to buy anything – I neglected it before. The common sense education videos I showed you are not suitable for your situation; if you want to integrate into society as soon as possible, Bai Wang can go out and walk more; I will take you, just ask me if you don’t know anything.”
Bai Ju paused and looked back at the door.
To be honest, he thought he would stay in this room for a while and not be allowed to go out until he learned all the common sense… He didn’t expect that he would be able to go out soon.
Xiao Yao saw that Bai Ju seemed to be a little moved and was just about to let him transform and go out to meet the little demons around him, when he saw Bai Ju jump off the sofa and skillfully take out a leash from under the coffee table.
Xiao Yao: “…”
No, am I really walking the dog?
Bai Ju naturally held the dog leash in front of Xiao Yao, raised his head slightly and motioned for him to take it.
Xiao Yao rubbed his temples but did not answer. He knelt down and spoke: “Bai Wang, are you sure you want me to hold you by a leash?”
Bai Ju was stunned and tilted his head: “I saw many…now when I was walking on the street. All pet dogs are like this, right?”
But the key is, do you really think of yourself as a pet dog? Xiao Yao opened his mouth and decided to change his words: “Bai Wang, let’s talk about it. You will help us discipline those little demons in the future.”
“So you must have the deterrence of a demon king…both in terms of strength and appearance.”
“The current environment is not suitable for you to show your true face, but if you become a human, you will look much better than you do now.”
Xiao Yao thought for a while and said more clearly: “Bai Wang’s look is too cute now. It’s so cute that you just want to pet the dog.”
Bai Ju looked at Xiao Yao silently.
Bai Ju lowered his head and turned around to put the dog leash back and said dully: “Then I’d better not go out yet.”
Xiao Yao: “…” This, the feeling of a child throwing a tantrum???
“Bai Wang?” Xiao Yao squatted for a while, but didn’t see Bai Ju come back, so he had to stand up, walk to the edge of the sofa, and reach out to pull Bai Ju, who was pretending to watch the educational film.
Bai Ju ignored him.
Xiao Yao laughed, rubbed the back of Bai Ju’s neck and called him in various ways: “Bai Wang…Bai Ju? Lao Bai?”
Then he sincerely extended his tone and said, “Brother Bai——”
Bai Ju couldn’t stand it. He swung his ears to avoid Xiao Yao, who was getting closer and closer, and squeezed out a low voice in his throat, with a hint of embarrassment in his thick voice: “Don’t yell…!”
Xiao Yao looked at him with a slight smile.
Bai Ju shook his nose and explained helplessly: “The way I transform…you humans don’t like it.”
After thinking about it, Bai Ju added: “I’m not very good at transforming…as a demon, I can’t hide all the characteristics of a demon, and humans will be scared when they see me.”
In this regard, Bai Ju himself was helpless.
For ordinary big demons, the ability to shapeshift became stronger and stronger as their spiritual power deepened, and it was not difficult to transform into an ordinary person; even some inconspicuous little demons could pretend to be different from ordinary people in order to blend in with the crowd.
But the problem with Bai Ju was that when he was halfway through his practice, he was not very good at transforming, but he began to play the role of half a mountain god; the villagers on the mountain and down the mountain regarded him as the “Dog God”, so as a result, his true nature was blessed to become more and more powerful, and the demon characteristics became part of his strength, and he became increasingly unable to hide it.
Originally, he was just whiling away time until he received the salary and officially became a god. With the divine form, he would not be bound by his true body; but unexpectedly, there was a huge change in the pattern of the land of China, the dragon veins stopped growing, and the Shinto declined, so he was left behind. In this awkward position, as neither a demon nor a god.
At the same time, the transformation also remained in this stage.
Bai Ju felt that it was actually a bit embarrassing.
Xiao Yao’s eyes drifted for a moment.
An incomplete dog demon…?
Thinking of two white-haired dog demon anime characters, Xiao Yao felt a little itchy. Could it be that he grew up like that? Then Bai Wang could make his debut directly.
Shaking his head and getting those two images out of his mind, Xiao Yao became more awake and finally understood Bai Ju’s concerns.
Different from the beautified image in anime, if the demon’s transformation was incomplete, the original characteristics were often reflected in the body shape, limbs, and facial features; while the dog demon’s transformation was incomplete, which often resulted in a rickety back, expanded ribs, and a thin face, his nose bridge might be too long, teeth would protrude, fingers might be deformed… No matter what it was, the transformed demon would take on a ferocious form that would make people fear.
After all, dog demons were not demons like fox demons and painted ghosts that relied on their appearance. Their skill points were not in changing their appearance. Incomplete transformation was really a big obstacle for dog demons.
Xiao Yao took a deep breath, feeling a little heartbroken.
The cute Samoyed transforming into a white horse was also a white dog, but it failed in its transformation. It was such a pity.
So he lowered his voice and advised Bai Ju: “It doesn’t matter if you don’t transform… Nowadays, human makeup technology is comparable to plastic surgery. If your shape is not too serious, you can still make up for it with makeup.”
“Otherwise… Do you want me to see what you look like after transforming?”
Bai Ju thought for a while and asked, “Can you change the hair color, cover up the markings, etc.”
When Xiao Yao heard that it was interesting, he nodded quickly: “Okay, these are all quite simple, just dye your hair and apply powder.” It seemed that Bai Wang’s facial features were not seriously out of shape.
So Bai Ju changed.
Then Bai Ju saw Xiao Yao in front of him and was once again stunned on the spot with a blank look on his face.
Bai Ju, who was eager to know the human reaction, was afraid that he would frighten Xiao Yao, so he quickly used the heart sound method on him again –
“…Ying.”
