Chapter 21 Something is stealing food in the space.
Bai Tang first put the kitten in a large basin and washed off the mud. After washing it, she found that the kitten's fur was still snow-white.
At first, I thought it was a mixed color, but after washing it, it turned out to be pure white. With its pure white fur and bright blue eyes, Bai Tang liked it more and more.
After washing it clean, Bai Tang looked for a pet dryer in her space, only to find that she hadn't stocked one. She hadn't expected to bring a stray cat home to raise.
Bai Tang thought for a moment, then first took a towel and held the little wildcat in her arms to dry it until it was half dry, and then used a hairdryer on the lowest setting to blow-dry its fur.
The kitten was initially startled by the sound of the hairdryer, but slowly climbed down after Bai Tang gently soothed it.
After drying the stray kitten, Bai Tang took out a cardboard box from her spatial storage and temporarily put the kitten inside before going to the bathroom in the inner room to take a shower.
After taking a bath, Bai Tang carried the clean little wild kitten to the living room.
By this time, Gu Yanxu and the others had finished showering and were in the living room.
When Bai Jiyang saw Bai Tang carrying a fluffy white kitten, he was stunned for a moment. "Is this the same one from before? It's white, so cute!"
Gu Yanxu said, "They look quite well-behaved after being washed."
The wild kittens meowed at them.
Lin Fan saw this and said, "Sister-in-law, is it hungry?"
"What will such a small kitten eat? I have no experience," Bai Tang said hesitantly.
Lin Fan continued, "I know, this stray kitten looks to be two or three months old. Stray cats have stronger digestive systems, so they can eat canned food and soaked cat food, and of course, they can also be fed milk."
Bai Tang thought for a moment and decided to feed it canned food and milk, since she didn't have any cat food stored in her space. She would see what it liked to eat first.
Bai Tang took out canned food and milk, poured them into two small bowls, put the kitten down, and let it eat by itself.
The little wildcat first ate the canned meat, then drank all the milk.
Lin Feng, standing to the side, exclaimed in surprise, "My goodness, this little kitten can eat so much!"
Gu Yanxu said, "It's normal for a little stray cat to eat a lot. Anyway, we can afford to feed it, so we won't miss its food."
Bai Tang also said, "Indeed, raising it is quite easy."
Bai Jiyang said, "Should we give it a name? We can't just keep calling it 'kitten' all the time."
Gu Yanxu looked at Bai Tang and said, "Tangtang, you should name it. It's close to you."
"Let me think, what should we call it? Milk?" Bai Tang wanted to call it Milk because it was all white, but the kitten didn't respond.
Bai Tang thought for a moment, then asked, "Is that called canned food? Canned food?"
Upon hearing the word "canned food," the kitten immediately meowed at Bai Tang.
"It seems this little guy likes being called 'Canned Food'."
Bai Jiyang, standing nearby, laughed and said, "This stray kitten probably likes canned meat, doesn't it?"
Upon hearing Bai Jiyang mention canned food, the canned food meowed at Bai Jiyang.
Bai Tang immediately made the decision: "Okay, then let's call it Canned Food. Canned Food~ Come here and let me hug you."
Upon hearing this, Guantou ran towards Baitang, who squatted down and hugged Guantou in her arms.
By the time they finished naming the kittens, it was almost evening.
Bai Tang started thinking about what to eat for dinner again and said directly, "Let's just eat what we made before. We've been tired all day, and it's too much trouble to cook again."
Gu Yanxu and the others agreed, and then Bai Tang took out a pot of beef tendon that had been prepared beforehand and placed in her space.
Another bowl of braised beef bones was brought out, but when Bai Tang took it, she felt that there seemed to be a little less beef bones than usual, even though they hadn't eaten any beef bones before. Also, the bowl of braised shrimp next to it was completely empty.
The sudden disappearance of the food startled Bai Tang, but she didn't make a fuss about it at first.
After everyone finished eating, they all went back to their rooms to rest.
Bai Tang also carried the canned food back to the bedroom. In a corner of the bedroom, Bai Tang made a simple cat bed for the canned food out of old clothes, put it in, and the canned food obediently lay down inside.
Then in the bedroom, Bai Tang told Gu Yanxu about the food disappearing from the space, and took Gu Yanxu into the space to show him the empty braised shrimp pot.
Gu Yanxu said, "Did we eat it before?"
Bai Tang said, "We haven't had braised prawns in so long, but a whole bowl of them is empty out of the blue. Is something sneaking around in the space eating them?"
After Bai Tang finished speaking, the red mark on her wrist suddenly lit up as if she were acting guilty.
Bai Tang didn't notice, but Gu Yanxu did. He said to Bai Tang, "Tangtang, the red birthmark on your wrist just flashed. Is that the problem?"
Only then did Bai Tang notice that the red mark on her wrist seemed unusually bright.
Bai Tang said to the mark in the space, "Was this your doing? What are you? Can you come out and talk? It's too much for you to steal other people's food like this."
Before Bai Tang could finish speaking, a ball of blue light appeared in front of them from the space.
The creature spoke in a childish voice, "I am a spirit that originated here. The things you put in are meant to be eaten, right? Besides, I only ate a little bit, don't be so stingy!"
Bai Tang asked with a puzzled look, "Huh? What did you say? You're the spirit here? Then why didn't you show up before, and now you're here to steal my braised prawns?"
The ball of blue light said, "Because I ran out of spiritual energy and have been recuperating, I haven't appeared. Also, the things you stored in your space smelled so good that I couldn't resist~ Sorry~"
Bai Tang then asked, "So what's your name? Why can this space recognize me as its master? Why was I able to be reborn? Do you know any of these things?"
Bai Tang then threw out a series of questions.
The ball of blue light slowly said, "I have no name. The reason you allowed the space to recognize you as its master is because you are a descendant of the Bai family."
You were able to be reborn because in my previous life I used all my spiritual power to find a way to bring you back to life. My creator asked me to protect the descendants of the Bai family through the calamity. She once said that the ancestors of the Bai family had been kind to her.
That's why I didn't show myself at the beginning of this life. It was because my spiritual power was insufficient, and I was recuperating. It wasn't until I hinted to you to put gold and antiques into the space that I replenished my spiritual power and was able to manifest.
This space is a small world created by a powerful being.
Bai Tang said, "It turns out that I only had this opportunity because of the Bai family ancestors."
The ball of blue light said, "Since your blood can make the space recognize its master, then from now on you are my master, master~"
Despite her initial shock, Bai Tang accepted its existence and asked, "What should I call you?"
The ball of blue light said in a sweet, childlike voice, "I've never had a name, Master, please give me one~"
Bai Tang said, "Let me think. How about I call you Mu Mu? I'll use the 'Mu' character from my name. Also, please don't call me 'Master' anymore. It sounds weird. Just call me Sister Tangtang."
"Yay, thank you, Sister Tangtang! I have a name now, my name is Mumu~"
