Alex looked at a trio who just walked into the game shop with a complicated expression on his face.

Xiao Bai holding a corner of Grace's dress as she was walking, Grace on the other hand now had a round sun hat on her head as she led Xiao Bai into the store. 

Liza looks miserable as she maintains some distance between her and Xiao Bai, Looking at her and checking if she is near her or not.

What is surprising is that all three women changed their clothes, Grace now wearing a simple but complimenting to her figure violet one-piece dress, As Xiao Bai wearing a sparkly white floral dress highlighting her innocence and love for shiny things.

Her hair too now has shiny ornaments, Her neck and wrist are adorned by shiny jewellery, Which look quite expensive but Alex knew the reason Xiao Bai was wearing has to do with the fact that they are all shiny.

Liza on the other hand also looks super cute as she is literally wearing a black Lolita dress, Which of course is a little tight showing the hugeness of her assets, Which she did not like at all.

She has custom-made clothes, So this problem never occurs but in this mall, there is nothing that fits her size, So she had to compromise it.

"What happens to your clothes? Did you go shopping without me? It's unfair, You guys had fun without me."

Alex was curious about what might be happening in them to make them like this, As Xiao Bai seems rather quite close to Grace now, Which he did not expect, But she also now appeared to be have increased enmity between them 

He did expect that to happen as both are Loli's but not this early, Liza though looks an annoying but quite easygoing woman when other's beauty match her standards, Which both of Xiao Bai and Grace do.

So it is an anomaly that this happens, Which is rather kinda strange.

"Alex, Hug."

Just as Alex walked to them, Xiao Bai first reacted and quickly let go of the corner of Grace's dress she was holding and ran to him, Then she opened her arms to be hugged by him.

Alex looked at her stature which only came up to his chest. Her asking like this added quite some plus points to her cuteness, Which is already overwhelming to be with.

"Did I take too much time? Or did you miss me? Sorry, I will give you a treat today as my apology."

Alex did not let her be hanging and hugged her in his warm embrace, Where she snuggled and sniffed like a cat.

He also let her be, He hugged her back with one hand and rubbed her silky white hair head with another.

"Hum Huhm."

Xiao Bai shook her head left and right in his arms and might be trying to say he did not take too much time, As she once again went on enjoying that comfortable warmth radiating from his body.

"Alex, It's a long story, What happen wa- "

"Your beast is feral. She saw a water fountain in the centre of the mall, Then just jumped into it while playing around. We tried to get her back but she rather dragged us in it, Making us wet and because of that I have to wear this monstrosity."

Grace has complicated emotions seeing Xiao Bai leave her side and run in Alex's arms. She had two feelings right now, she was jealous of Xiao Bai that she gets to hug Alex in the open, And second, she is jealous of Alex that he gets to hug Xiao Bai.

It's a weird emotion, She knows it but she wanted to hug Xiao Bai as she looks too cute but was not able to bring herself to do that masculine thing to her, As it might look weird for two women hugging each other out in public.

She shook her head to throw out these thoughts, She approached Alex and was trying to answer his question, But Liza angrily cut her off mid-sentence and ranted about what happened with them.

It turns out that, When they were searching for a section that sells fish, Xiao Bai saw a water fountain. Before any of the two react she dashed towards it and jump into it playing around in the water.

Both Grace and Liza tried to make her stop doing this, asking her to come back but she did not listen to them. Normally it was not that big of a deal as playing in the water but this is a public fountain.

God knows how much filth in that thing, So both of them did not want her to be there but Xiao Bai did not listen to them.

When Liza went near her to drag her out of the fountain, Xiao Bai rather dragged her in making her clothes soaked in the dirty water of that fountain but Xiao Bai did not stop there rather she jumped on Liza intending to play with her.

She dumped Liza in the water and she herself also lay down and started rolling around in it. Liza wanted to struggle but how could she resist a S-Rank warrior? So she was helpless.

Then came Grace, Who seeing what was happening wanted to help Liza, So she went near the fountain but the end result was the same, She too was dragged into the foundation and forced to play with Xiao Bai until she became bored.

Thankfully it is noon, So there were not a lot of customers in the mall, So their embarrassment is not seen by anyone or worse not recorded and uploaded on the internet for the cloud.

After coming out of the fountain, Trio had to find a spa which has a bathing facility, Where Liza had to pay for all of the stuff as Grace did not have much cash on her, And the little money she had in the bank can't be used through mobile because that too now unusable thanks to water damage.

Liza was traumatised by this experience as she now had to wear a Lolita dress because that's the only thing that was close to her size, Others were either too big or tight, That's why she was keeping her distance from Xiao Bai.

"Ohh, Do you have fun, Xiao Bai? Or do you want to play more? There should be a water park near here if you want. We can go there."

Alex gets the situation now of why this all happened, Normally cats hate water, But some who love it, Tigers are one of them.

Most of their time is spent in the water, So he was not a bit surprised that Xiao Bai reacted that way seeing water. This is also summer, So her instincts might take over her to make her do something like this.

So he gently rubbed her back as he asked her if she wanted to go to the water park to let her play as much as she wanted, He also invite Saphira to play with Xiao Bai.

"Humh No."

Xiao Bai shook her head. She will not tread the comfortable warmth in his arms with anything else, So she shook her head as she hugged him even more tightly sticking her face on his chest.

"Don't spoil her like this Alex, This is not normal for breasts to do something like this, Please punish her a little or she will be hard to tame later."

Liza burst out when he saw Alex not only did not punish Xiao Bai but rather enabled behaviour like this, She was not having it.

She was worried about Alex because she knew if beasts are not trained properly since their infancy, They might even turn against their master, Most of the beastmasters lose their life because of it.

She did not want something like that to happen to Alex, So Xiao Bai needed to be punished for her to learn. After all, no matter how docile beasts look they are at the end of the day wild animals, Who need proper training to keep in check.

"Don't worry Liza, She might just be overheated, That's why she played in the water. Don't take things too seriously."

Alex gets where Liza is coming from but she did not know that Xiao Bai is received from the system, So her loyalty to him is unbreakable, Plus the blood contract they made guarantees that she will not turn against him, So he can spoil her as he wants.

But he can't say this to Liza, System is a thing no one can know about, That's why he just spoke something to distract her as his eyes looked for a place in the corner for Isabella's entry.

"Alex she is an S-Rank, Even if she jumps into molten lava, She will not overheat, Listen to me- Ahh."

Liza is not convinced, There is no way Xiao Bai overheats as an S-rank, So she wanted Alex to punish her.

If not for the fact that only the master can punish their beast, She might have done it for Alex without fearing Xiao Bai being an S-Rank warrior, This is a matter of safety for Alex she can't take risks.

But she did not get to finish what she was talking about as Alex grabbed her wrist and dragged her into the corner, Where he could see in the store while being out of sight.

Grace did not know if she would laugh or cry. She was jealous of these two women, able to talk with Alex casually but she also thought these women were too funny to mind, Anyway she just shook her head and followed Alex to that place.

.....

"He is not replying, Why is he not replying? Did he become angry at me? No wait I was supposed to be angry not him, Even if he is angry, At least he could reply, It's unbearable not able to know what is happening with him."

Isabella stood in front of the mall checking her phone every minute or two but every time she was disappointed and put the phone down, She wanted to talk with Alex but he was now unreachable.

So she had to use her connection to find out where he was and what you know he was in her own mall with 3 women.

Now she was super jealous. She messaged him but he did not reply. He was angry that he had forgotten about her while being with other women.

So she came here in person using the excuse that she is here for business purposes, Her meeting him is just a coincidence, She is not stalking him.

"*Sigh* First get this done."

Isabella sighed as she looked at the document in her hand before she entered in the mall.
