The Hehuan Sect Enchantress’s Short-Lived Spirit Pet 12

Chapter 012: Wanting to Eat Fish

With her head pressed down, Ji Zhu’s mind was filled with unhealthy thoughts. She struggled to turn her head and glare at Jiang Bai, her deep blue eyes wide as she bared her teeth at her.

Jiang Bai lowered her eyes, raised her hand, and gently stroked her bared teeth, smiling at her.

Ji Zhu: “…”

She immediately and cowardly composed her expression, even licking Jiang Bai’s fingers ingratiatingly.

If she hadn’t reacted quickly, she had reason to believe that her teeth would have parted ways in the next second.

Jiang Bai rubbed her head in satisfaction. To prevent Ji Zhu from staring at the others again, Jiang Bai stood up, intending to carry Ji Zhu away.

Ji Zhu immediately became anxious. She hadn’t even confirmed if that person was Xia Ye!

She struggled to jump down but was held tightly by Jiang Bai. She was on the verge of despair. Just as she was about to resign herself to her fate, a gentle, smiling voice came over.

“Young Sect Master, it seems this little cat doesn’t want to leave with you. Did you kidnap someone else’s kitten?”

Jiang Bai’s steps paused. She turned back and looked at the woman who had spoken with indifference. Their eyes met in mid-air, and it was as if sparks flew. Finally, Jiang Bai lifted Ji Zhu and placed her on the table, saying coolly, “Then you tell me, who is your master?”

Ji Zhu’s body stiffened. Although she wanted to stay, she didn’t want to become the center of the crossfire!

Especially with the enchantress looking like this. If she really couldn’t tell who was in charge, her fur would probably be gone in the next second.

She meowed delicately at Jiang Bai. Just as she was about to pounce on Jiang Bai again, a pair of hands suddenly picked her up and rubbed her into an embrace. At the same time, the previous smiling, gentle voice sounded from above her head.

“Oh, this little cat’s meow is so lovely. Why don’t you come home with big sister? Big sister has countless fish for you to eat at home.”

Feeling the surrounding pressure suddenly drop, Ji Zhu was so startled her fur was about to stand on end. She struggled frantically in the woman’s arms, not forgetting to cast a pleading look at Jiang Bai, wanting to show that she had not betrayed her, that this was not her idea!

“Xia Ye, are you tired of living?” Jiang Bai said coldly.

At these words, Ji Zhu’s struggles weakened slightly. She looked up at the woman holding her. So this person really is Xia Ye?

After confirming that she was Xia Ye, Ji Zhu didn’t know how to feel for a moment. It was important to know that this Xia Ye liked Xiao Ge, and Xiao Ge had also sent her ambiguous signals. But in the end, she had blocked a blade for Xiao Ge and died at the hands of his opponent.

Another female character who provided help to the male lead on his path of cultivation and enhanced his charm. When she was of little use in the end, she was made to die for love, which not only showed her deep affection but also made people think that Xiao Ge was so good that people were willing to die for him.

Seeing this situation, Qiong Yin’s expression was a bit embarrassed. She quickly tried to take Ji Zhu back from Xia Ye’s arms, telling Xia Ye not to really provoke Jiang Bai. Otherwise, if they started fighting, she really wouldn’t be able to mediate.

Xia Ye held onto Ji Zhu and refused to give her back, instead saying with a mournful expression, “Why are you all so serious? I was just joking.”

“To think that my life is short, and I have fewer and fewer chances to joke. Yet you still have to be so petty with me. It’s truly disheartening.”

“Senior Sister!” the other two from the Medicine King Valley exclaimed, as if they couldn’t bear to hear her talk about herself like that.

However, Xia Ye was completely indifferent to their reaction. She even raised her hand and gently wiped away a tear, as if Jiang Bai and the others had really bullied her.

Jiang Bai’s expression was cold, Qiong Yin was awkwardly at a loss, and Su Xin frowned at Xia Ye, their eyes meeting for a moment before she nonchalantly looked away.

Xia Ye’s eyes darkened.

Life is short? What nonsense are you talking about?

Hearing this, Ji Zhu looked at Xia Ye with suspicion. How did she remember that she was still alive and well in the middle of the novel? If having a few hundred years left to live was called “life is short,” then what was she?

A short-lived ghost?

Jiang Bai snorted coldly. “It’s good that you know. Don’t die holding my spirit pet, lest she be tainted by bad luck!”

After saying that, without caring what others thought, she directly started to snatch her back.

She didn’t like this Xia Ye. She always felt that this person was good at putting on an act, which was annoying to watch.

Xia Ye tapped her toes, her figure floating backward, narrowly avoiding Jiang Bai’s move. She couldn’t help but chide, “It’s been many years, yet you still don’t know how to cherish the fairer sex!”

Hearing this, Ji Zhu’s eyes widened. Wait, why does it sound like this Xia Ye knows Jiang Bai? The book didn’t mention this!

What happened between these two in the past? Why did she even use the phrase “cherish the fairer sex”?

“And you’re still as noisy as ever,” Jiang Bai raised her hand, and her crimson longsword appeared in her hand. A cold light flowed over it, and it was clear at a glance that it was of high quality.

“Hey, hey, hey, I’ll give her back to you. Is it really necessary to bring out the Lunhui Sword!” Seeing that she was about to get serious, Xia Ye quickly admitted defeat and handed Ji Zhu over to Jiang Bai. As she did, she said resentfully, “You really can’t take a joke!”

Ji Zhu was thus passed back to Jiang Bai in a daze, never having known that she was so sought after.

Seeing that she had obediently returned her, Jiang Bai snorted coldly and put away her sword, shooting her a sidelong glance. “It’s better to joke less, lest one day your life really does become short.”

Xia Ye: “…” This mouth is still as venomous as ever.

But seeing that she had put away the Lunhui Sword, Xia Ye relaxed again and sat back down, saying resentfully, “You’re just like that Master of yours, completely impervious!”

Hearing her say that Jiang Bai’s Master was impervious, Su Xin’s expression changed slightly, and her hand under the table clenched into a fist.

Jiang Bai ignored her accusation. However, from Ji Zhu’s previous reaction, she guessed that Ji Zhu probably didn’t want to leave so soon, so she also sat back down. But she was not interested in Qiong Yin’s conversation with them. Instead, her hand stroked Ji Zhu intermittently.

Ji Zhu: “…”

If I didn’t know the enchantress’s cold nature, I would have really been fooled by Jiang Bai’s appearance.

But then again, at least until now, this person has been good to me, except for occasionally scaring me.

But how many connections are there in this book’s world that weren’t written in the novel? Why is it that two people who seemed to have no interaction in the novel are now found to have known each other long ago in the book’s world!

The conversation was over. But when Qiong Yin asked how Xia Ye and Jiang Bai knew each other, even Ji Zhu perked up, resting her head on the table, looking like she was ready to hear some gossip.

Jiang Bai: “…” Why haven’t I noticed before that she’s so curious about my affairs?

Ji Zhu’s little appearance amused the others. After laughing, Xia Ye couldn’t help but shoot Jiang Bai another resentful glance. Under her expressionless face, she began to speak. “This goes back to several decades ago. At that time, my strength was not high. In order to find a certain medicinal herb, I entered the Chilin Forest in the east of the province. Who knew that I didn’t find the herb, but instead encountered a Golden Core stage Blazing Flame Serpent. After fighting the snake for several hundred rounds, just when it seemed I was about to be defeated, Jiang Bai suddenly appeared and killed the snake, then picked the herb and left.”

Hearing this, the others were somewhat confused. From the sound of it, didn’t she save her? Why did she still seem to be at odds with Jiang Bai?

“Heh, you really know how to flatter yourself. Several hundred rounds? About to be defeated? Who was it that was lying on the ground like a dead dog after a few moves, trying to negotiate with the snake to let you take a bath before swallowing you?”

Jiang Bai’s sudden interjection caused the atmosphere to freeze for a moment, especially the people from the Medicine King Valley. Their slightly dazed expressions seemed unable to connect the person who wanted to wash herself before dying with their respected Senior Sister.

Xia Ye looked at Jiang Bai and said distantly, “If you don’t speak, no one will think you’re mute!”

“Heh,” Jiang Bai sneered and looked away.

The others: “…”

They instantly understood why the two of them were at odds.

Ji Zhu blinked, looking at Jiang Bai and then at Xia Ye. She felt that it probably wasn’t that simple. Thinking about Xia Ye saying the enchantress didn’t know how to cherish the fairer sex, she boldly guessed, Could it be that in the end, Jiang Bai didn’t care about the injured Xia Ye at all and just left after picking the herb!

The more she thought about it, the more likely Ji Zhu felt it was. This was something Jiang Bai was capable of doing.

But since they had met so coincidentally, Xia Ye decided to go to the Immortal Sword Sect with Jiang Bai and the others, completely ignoring Jiang Bai’s dark face.

On the way, Xia Ye looked at Ji Zhu, who had her head resting on Jiang Bai’s shoulder, and started to tease her again.

“Little Cat, why don’t you come to big sister? Big sister will give you something delicious,” Xia Ye took out a small dried fish, smiling like the big bad wolf.

Looking at the small dried fish in her hand, Ji Zhu swallowed. It smells so good, and it looks so delicious and chewy!

I want to eat it!

Before she could open her mouth to bite, her vision suddenly went dark.

“Learn to refuse handouts, understand?”

“…”
