Little Pu Tao's presence made Simon's arrival unexpectedly harmonious.
Only Cecil watched from the sidelines, his gaze still full of vigilance.
He felt Simon was an opponent who shouldn't be underestimated. It was his first time here, yet he had already captured Little Pu Tao's attention. 'Damn it,' he thought, 'why didn't I think of starting with Little Pu Tao?'
Because he liked Simon's eyes, Little Pu Tao clung to him all evening. It was getting very late, well past his usual bedtime, but he still refused to let go. He only released his grip after Simon once again promised to give him a Purple Gemstone the next day. Satisfied, Little Pu Tao babbled, "Ah, ah," and went to find his Breeding Master to return to his room for the night.
Lu Xia watched Little Pu Tao leave, then turned to Simon. "My apologies. I hope Little Pu Tao wasn't too much trouble for you."
