The Hehuan Sect Enchantress’s Short-Lived Spirit Pet 52p2

Chapter 52: Sister p2

Although the enchantress’s attitude towards her was not cold or warm, the fact that she had not gotten off the boat was already a very good signal. It meant that she did not reject her!

Ji Zhu was a little smug and happy in her heart. That’s right, she was so loved by everyone, and even the enchantress was no exception!

It was clear that the enchantress was still very satisfied with her current appearance.

At noon, Ji Zhu wanted to eat something, but she was worried that she would expose herself if she ate. After all, most cultivators would abstain from food if they could, and they would rarely eat.

But if she didn’t eat, she would be so greedy!

Ji Zhu was listless, leaning against her chair with no strength, her gaze resentfully fixed on the enchantress.

If it weren’t for the fact that she had insisted on dual cultivating with that Xiao Ge, how would she have been angered to the point of running away from home!

If she hadn’t run away from home, then her life would definitely be one where she could eat whatever she wanted, whenever she wanted. How would she have to hold it in and not dare to show it now!

Jiang Bai suddenly opened her eyes, ignored Ji Zhu’s resentful gaze, and looked at the mountain forest not far away. “Can we stop for a while?”

“Huh?” Ji Zhu subconsciously let out a sound of confusion, but she quickly controlled the spirit boat to stop. Just as she was about to ask her what she wanted to stop for, she saw her figure very quickly jump off the boat, and in a flash, she had directly disappeared into the trees.

Ji Zhu: “???”

She wouldn’t have abandoned her and left on her own, right!

Ji Zhu was almost so angry that she was about to jump up and down. She looked at the direction where the enchantress had disappeared with a puffed-up face, and in her heart, she set a deadline for the enchantress.

If she didn’t come back within half an hour, she would never bother with her again! And she wouldn’t go into the Xiling graveyard with her!

Let her die! I don’t care!

Ji Zhu was so angry that her fur stood on end, her eyes almost spitting fire. This enchantress had left without a word. Would it have killed her to say a little more? What was wrong with explaining a little? She had at least given her a ride. Didn’t she even give her a fare!

After so many years, she was still as stingy as ever!

Ji Zhu chattered on resentfully. Seeing that time was passing bit by bit, just as Ji Zhu’s emotions were about to explode, the enchantress’s crimson figure finally reappeared in her line of sight. Only then did Ji Zhu feel relieved, but she still glared at her with some anger.

After Jiang Bai returned, she did not get on the boat, but instead started to set up a stove on the empty ground not far away, took out the cleaned ingredients from her storage space, and started a fire to cook.

Ji Zhu was stunned for a moment when she saw this situation. She hesitantly walked down the spirit boat to the enchantress’s side. Looking at her smooth and fluid movements, she asked in a daze, “What are you doing?”

She’s not by her side anymore. How can she still take the initiative to cook these things? And she even had to stop specially.

Jiang Bai did not look up at her, but just replied faintly, “Can’t you tell?”

Not only had she caught a rabbit, but she had also caught a fish. She was doing both at the same time, and her movements were not at all hurried or flustered. On one side, she was boiling fish soup, and on the other, she was roasting rabbit meat.

Ji Zhu stared in a daze. She had not expected that even after she had been away for more than five years, the enchantress had still kept this habit of cooking regularly. For a moment, she felt her nose a little sore, and her eyes were sore and swollen, and she wanted to cry.

What’s going on…

This enchantress just does these sugar-coated bullet things to confuse people!

She’s the worst!

She pouted, trying hard to control her emotions so that they would not be seen. She learned the tone of the other cultivators and said with feigned surprise, “Sister, haven’t you already abstained from food? Why are you still eating these things?”

Jiang Bai ignored her words and continued to marinate the rabbit meat.

Ji Zhu snorted softly through her nose and simply sat cross-legged beside the enchantress, her hands cupping her face as she looked at her.

Jiang Bai: “…”

She always felt that this person in front of her was very difficult to deal with. Why did she have so many questions? Couldn’t she just be quiet?

Jiang Bai’s movements paused for a moment. She glanced at Ji Zhu with the corner of her eye. It seemed that this was also a talkative one, just like that little thing. When she was excited, there was no stopping her.

She put the marinated rabbit meat on the fire, and Jiang Bai looked at the fire in a daze.

She didn’t know why that little thing had already left, yet she still kept this habit. Perhaps she was worried that if she didn’t cook for a long time, her cooking skills would become rusty when the little thing came back, and it wouldn’t be as delicious, and the little thing would despise it?

Jiang Bai couldn’t figure it out, but she had stubbornly done it for so many years.

Smelling the aroma of the food gradually wafting out, the glutton in Ji Zhu’s stomach became more and more active. She had not eaten anything made by the enchantress for more than five years. Now, just smelling it was making her drool.

Her eyes were getting brighter and brighter, and she looked at the enchantress with pleading eyes.

However, Jiang Bai seemed to be pretending that she didn’t exist. She held a dagger in her hand and would occasionally cut the meat a couple of times. Seeing that it was cooked, she directly cut off a rabbit leg and slowly sliced it to eat.

Ji Zhu looked at her actions in disbelief. She didn’t even invite her to eat?

Although Jiang Bai didn’t care, that person’s gaze was really very present. After eating a few mouthfuls, Jiang Bai finally couldn’t stand it and looked up at her, and said speechlessly, “What are you looking at me for?”

Didn’t she have hands? Did this person still want her to feed her?

Did she think that with a pair of similar eyes, she could get the same treatment as the little cat?

“Why are you eating by yourself?” Ji Zhu looked at her with a wronged expression, a little unable to bear this difference.

It was important to know that in the past, when the enchantress had made delicious food, she would have fed her first!

Jiang Bai: “???”

“You didn’t even invite me to eat. How would I know if you’re going to give it to me or not?” Ji Zhu was even more wronged. She couldn’t just pounce on it and eat it before the owner of the food had spoken, right? That would be so rude!

Jiang Bai: “…You can eat.”

“Oh.”

Only then did Ji Zhu reply dejectedly. She also took out a dagger and cut off a rabbit leg. But she did not slice it into pieces as elegantly as the enchantress, but directly took a big bite.

Her eyes lit up. The long-lost taste had returned, and she actually felt that it was so delicious!

“Sister, your cooking is so good!” Ji Zhu praised her without any stinginess. This enchantress’s skills had not regressed at all!

Hearing her sincere praise, Jiang Bai looked at her and saw her eating with great joy. She then said, “Haven’t you already abstained from food? Why are you still eating these things?”

She directly returned Ji Zhu’s previous words to her.

Ji Zhu was choked, but then she said righteously, “I’m a demon! Demons just like to eat. They don’t have as many rules as you humans!”

Bad woman, so vengeful…

Jiang Bai said “oh” and ladled out a bowl of the cooked fish soup to cool.

Actually, she herself had no obsession with these things to eat. It was just that the habit of cooking on time had already been formed. Since she had already cooked, she would still eat a little each time, but not much.

Without that little thing, most of the things she made were wasted.

Ji Zhu finished the roasted rabbit leg and very habitually and smoothly took the bowl of soup that the enchantress had ladled out to cool and drank a mouthful with satisfaction.

Jiang Bai was stunned. She was slightly stunned by her matter-of-course action. “What are you doing?”

Why could this person take her soup bowl so smoothly?

Being questioned by her, only then did Ji Zhu realize what she had done. For a time, she was awkwardly stunned on the spot, and finally, she stammered, “Isn’t this for me?”

So embarrassing…

It wasn’t her fault for being so matter-of-course. In the past, the one that would be ladled out to cool in advance was prepared for her!

Jiang Bai: “…”

Ji Zhu’s eyes and brows drooped slightly, and she looked very pitiful. “Sister, I’m sorry. I thought it was for me. I’ll never assume it again in the future. There will definitely be no next time!”

Ji Zhu herself felt that she was being a green tea when she said this.

Her eyes were watery as she looked over, and it really made people unable to get angry at her.

Jiang Bai had no choice but to take out another bowl and ladle a bowl of soup for herself. “This is mine.”

“…Oh.”

Why emphasize it? She wasn’t stupid. How could she do the same stupid thing twice?

Jiang Bai would occasionally turn to look at Ji Zhu. Seeing her drinking the soup, her brows furrowed slightly. “Why do you drink soup like that? You’re already a person, yet you haven’t changed your habits?”

“Huh?”

Ji Zhu was bewildered. She looked up at her, not understanding what she was saying. What way of drinking?

Seeing that Ji Zhu seemed not to understand, Jiang Bai sighed lightly. In the end, she still decided to help Duanmu Ran teach her little disciple. She held up the soup bowl to her lips and said, “You either drink soup with a spoon, or you hold the edge of the bowl to your lips like this, instead of… licking…”

She hesitated when she said the last word, wondering where Duanmu Ran had found such a disciple. She didn’t even know these basic life habits.

Ji Zhu: “…”

She looked down at the bowl of soup in her hands in a daze. So she had been licking the soup just now?

Ah!

Damn it all!

She had been a cat for too long and had not realized this!

Her fair cheeks instantly turned pink, and her eyes were filled with embarrassed and watery light. “I’m sorry, I didn’t notice that.”

Jiang Bai sighed lightly. Duanmu Ran hadn’t even told her this. She was so unreliable. No wonder she could let her out to train alone.

Duanmu Ran, who was far away in the Medicine King Valley, suddenly felt her nose itch. She rubbed it and didn’t think much of it, only thinking that the people she had deceived in the past were cursing her again.

Ji Zhu deliberately controlled her way of drinking the soup for the next while. In fact, she was also very apprehensive about whether the enchantress would be suspicious of her. But it probably wouldn’t be, right? Many cats, dogs, lions, and tigers seemed to drink water like this.

After she was full, Ji Zhu began to get sleepy. She yawned a little, and tears even appeared at the corners of her eyes.

She got on the spirit boat, set her destination, and Ji Zhu turned to the enchantress. “Do you want to take a nap?”

Jiang Bai frowned at her.

“Alright, you don’t sleep, I’ll sleep. You can watch,” after saying that, without caring what the enchantress thought, she was so sleepy her brain was almost not working. She walked into the cabin and fell onto the bed. She hadn’t had enough sleep in the morning, and now, lying on the bed, she quickly fell asleep.

Jiang Bai: “…”

Her gaze was distantly fixed on the cabin, and finally, she turned to look at the scenery outside the spirit boat, not knowing what she was thinking.

With the enchantress by her side, Ji Zhu slept surprisingly soundly. In her dream, it was as if she were enveloped in soft cotton candy, and everywhere was a sweet taste.

When she woke up again, the sky outside had already darkened. She walked out of the cabin and saw that the spirit boat had stopped by a stream at some point, and the enchantress was roasting fish under the spirit boat.

Ji Zhu blinked lightly and quickly walked over. She squatted opposite Jiang Bai and said in a small voice, “I’m sorry, I overslept.”

Was this enchantress a reincarnation of a sleeping pill? Why would she sleep so soundly and for so long when she was by her side?

It wasn’t like this when she was at Ji Ling’s place!

Jiang Bai just glanced at her faintly, and the corners of her lips curled up slightly. “Your original form isn’t a cat, is it?”

Ji Zhu’s heart was startled. No way? Was she exposed just like that?

She quickly shook her head and denied, “No, but there might be some kinship!”

Jiang Bai did not speak again, but just turned the grilled fish over.

“Why would you say I’m a cat?” Ji Zhu asked tentatively.

“Because I have a cat, and you can sleep as much as she can,” Jiang Bai said slowly.

Ji Zhu: “…”

She snorted lightly in her heart. A cat would sleep for many hours a day. What was wrong with that!

She took the grilled fish that the enchantress had handed her and chuckled. “Sister, your cooking is so good. I’ll follow you from now on, okay?”

Of course, it was a lie!

She didn’t want to be with the enchantress from now on! She had already lost her!

“Didn’t your Master teach you not to trust people easily?”

Ji Zhu nodded and then shook her head. “She did, but I think I can trust you!”

Jiang Bai’s face was calm. “Then do you know what I added to the grilled fish I gave you?”

“What did you add?” Ji Zhu looked at the grilled fish she had already taken two bites of, examined it carefully, and said, “Cumin, chili powder?”

Jiang Bai seemed to be choked by her words. She looked up at Ji Zhu, and her stare made Ji Zhu feel apprehensive. Her heart was beating up and down, and her ears even felt a little hot.

So strange. Why was the temperature rising at night?

“What, what’s wrong? Did I say something wrong?” Ji Zhu said in a small voice.

Jiang Bai suddenly curled her lips into a smile at her. Ji Zhu’s mind buzzed, and her scalp went numb.

“I added a laxative.”

“???”
