Xiaobai's barbed tongue swiftly licked her hand, its big eyes gazing at her, just like a child craving praise.
Ruxin laughed, taking out a medicine pill and stuffing it into Xiaobai's mouth: "You're amazing, you'll be the absolute ruler of the mountains from now on..."
Xiaobai happily shook its massive head.
"You're already so big, yet you still have this thing." Ruxin reached to remove the pouch previously tied around Xiaobai's neck. All the medicine inside was gone, obviously consumed by the wolf, and what was a loose string when it was tied had now become just tight enough. If Xiaobai continued to grow, the string would start to choke it. "When we get back, I'll make you a little vest instead." She didn't want to keep a string around its neck; if someone grabbed it, it would be dangerous for Xiaobai.
