Second Mother quickly brought a basin of warm water over, and Xiaomi hurriedly told her mother to go about her own business while she cleaned the bloodstains off the little fox.
"Then take your time, and when you're done, put some medicine on it. I'll go make dinner."
"Alright, don't worry, Mom, I know what to do."
Xiaomi nodded repeatedly, and Second Mother wasn't worried. Xiaomi was very meticulous and would surely take good care of the little fox.
But as soon as Second Mother left, Xiaomi closed the doors and windows and with a wave of her hand, the little fox, the water basin, and the washcloth all entered the space.
Then she lay on the bed herself and followed them into the space.
"Master, are we going to bathe the little fox?"
As soon as she entered, Ling'er spun around happily. Xiaomi was already certain that this invisible, intangible breeze was actually Ling'er's true form.
"We can't bathe it directly; just use the cloth to wipe it clean."
