Chapter 581: Chapter 570: Forgetting the Tiger

By the time she finished, returning to her original spot, she saw that the sea otter had the fish held down, not letting it wriggle away.

"Let’s go, we’ll go home and cook fish for dinner," Xia Yue called out to it.

"Oh, oh, oh, do I have to share it with others?" the sea otter asked her. It looked down at the fish in its paws, apparently feeling that one wasn’t enough.

"I won’t eat any. Just for you, Xuanxuan, and the System." Xia Yue thought about how she had brought the Otter out to play and returned so late, which would have surely upset Xuanxuan. Bringing fish back for everyone to eat together would probably sweeten the deal.

"Okay then," the otter bobbed its head, seemingly content with her response.

Xia Yue cycled them back, with the otter holding onto the fish as they returned to the mansion.

Once they reached the courtyard,

She saw Yan Mo standing outside his own room, seemingly engrossed in something.

"Yan bro, why are you standing outside? Enjoying the cool breeze?" Xia Yue asked, laughing as she spotted him.

"Why are you only back so late? Anything happened?" Yan Mo watched her approach, his concern audible in his voice.

"Nothing, I took it to play in the sea. It’s been a while since we did that and we had time today," Xia Yue said shaking her head, pointing at the sea otter by her feet.

"Aren’t you cold?" Yan Mo asked curiously. Although it wasn’t as cold here as outdoors in Kyoto, it still felt chilly to go into the sea.

"I think it’s pretty nice, like the cool sensation of eating a snow cone in summer. Maybe I’ve been away from the sea for too long and my mermaid constitution is missing it," Xia Yue conjectured, rubbing her chin thoughtfully.

"It’s getting late, you should go in. Have some warm drinks, take a hot shower, and get some rest. Don’t fall sick," Yan Mo advised.

"Mmmhmm, you should also go rest early," responded Xia Yue.

"Mmm," Yan Mo nodded.

The two then returned to their respective rooms.

"I’m back. I brought some late-night snacks for you all. Have it with the sea otter, I’ll go take a bath," said Xia Yue as she entered her room and spotted the System and Xuanxuan sitting on the sofa watching a drama. She then went straight into the bathroom for a shower without waiting for a response.

The sea otter, spotting the System, walked over to it, fish in paw.

"Oh, oh, oh, let’s eat fish, the fish we caught, it’s really tasty," the sea otter called out to the System and Xuanxuan.

On hearing the otter, the System and Xuanxuan paused their drama, hopping over to inspect the fish in the otter’s paw.

[Eat it outside, don’t get the place dirty, it’s too troublesome to clean up.] the System advised them.

"Okay,"

"Miaomiao, let’s go, let’s go," Xuanxuan, drooling at the sight of the fish in the otter’s paw, was eager to start feasting.

The System led them outside to eat.

By the time Xia Yue emerged from her bath, the trio had finished their fish and returned.

[Have a bath for us.] The System requested Xia Yue. They felt a bit fishy after the meal and would feel better after a bath.

"Come in," Xia Yue ushered them into the bathroom.

Although Xuanxuan wasn’t keen on a bath, it dared not refuse with the System watching.

The sea otter, who loved water, was certainly not going to protest.

Xia Yue had already bought pet-washing products from the System Mall, and since these items were harmless to the sea otter, she turned to them.

It took her over an hour to bathe the three of them and dry their fur.

[What to do with it tonight?] The System looked at the sea otter and asked Xia Yue. It was late, and it was time to consider sleeping arrangements.

Xia Yue looked at the sea otter, and then shrieked in horror:

"Oh no, we’ve left Tiger outside in the small pet house!"

If the System hadn’t mentioned it, she wouldn’t have recalled that they’d left Tiger playing on the lawn outside the pet house when they went out and forgotten to bring him back.
