The Hehuan Sect Enchantress’s Short-Lived Spirit Pet 26p2

Chapter 26: Carnal Desire p2

Ji Zhu brought Jiang Bai’s shoes back to the room. Seeing Jiang Bai look over, she proudly held up her shoes to show her the results.

You want to make things difficult for me? No way!

Jiang Bai’s gaze swept over Ji Zhu, then at the shoes, and finally asked, “Senior Sister just helped you like that?”

Of course, if she didn’t help, I wouldn’t let her pet me anymore!

But of course, Ji Zhu would not admit it. She snorted lightly and flicked her tail at her, jumping onto the chaise lounge where Jiang Bai was lying. She patted her leg, signaling for her to put it down, as she was going to lie down.

Jiang Bai: “…”

“Little Cat, your courage seems to be getting bigger and bigger,” her smiling, light, and soft voice sounded as if she had a very good temper.

Ji Zhu looked at her in confusion, not understanding what she was up to now. She simply ignored her, and after lying down, she rested her head on her leg and flicked her tail leisurely.

Jiang Bai sighed distantly and poked Ji Zhu’s head with her fingertip.

“Clueless.”

She really doesn’t know how to read people’s faces at all.

Ji Zhu pouted. When I was a person, I had to read people’s faces. Now that I’m a cat, I still have to. Isn’t this life a bit too sad?

**

At night, Jiang Bai took Ji Zhu out to see the lantern festival. The lively scene of lanterns and decorations was everywhere, and the streets were crowded. Fortunately, Jiang Bai clearly didn’t like this kind of crowded situation. There was a spiritual energy barrier around her, separating her from others.

Ji Zhu benefited from her. Being held in her arms, she was not squeezed at all. Instead, she looked at the hanging lanterns with great novelty.

They were very exquisite and beautiful. Even the paintings on the lanterns did not give a sense of being crudely made.

Seeing that everyone had a lantern in their hands, Ji Zhu was a little envious. Actually, looking at the colorful lanterns all over the street was quite beautiful.

With her envious and longing little gaze, even if she couldn’t speak, Jiang Bai knew what she wanted.

Gently patting her back, Jiang Bai chuckled softly. “Beg me, and I’ll buy it for you.”

Such greasy, overbearing president-like words.

But Ji Zhu couldn’t be bothered to complain now, because she really wanted it. She looked at her pitifully, leaned over, and gave her several muahs on the face before stopping, her eyes signaling if it was enough.

Jiang Bai’s expression was slightly stiff. This little thing had really taken all her previous words as wind in one ear and out the other.

Seeing that she didn’t react, Ji Zhu gave her several more kisses, and finally, she hesitated as she stared at her mouth.

I don’t have to sell myself to this extent, right?

Seeing her reaction as if she were considering whether to kiss her or not, Jiang Bai immediately covered her mouth with her hand and glared at her lightly. This little thing was really willing to go all out for a lantern.

Ji Zhu, whose mouth was covered, blinked her big eyes at her.

Jiang Bai pressed her head against her shoulder to prevent her from looking at her with those eyes again.

Ji Zhu, who was being forcibly suppressed, twitched her ears. Just as she thought Jiang Bai was going to go back on her word, she saw her walk towards the stall selling lanterns, and Ji Zhu was finally relieved.

I’ve already sold my carnal desire. It wouldn’t be right to get nothing!

Arriving at the stall, there were all kinds of lanterns hanging on the rack. Jiang Bai removed the hand that was pressing on Ji Zhu’s head and said, “You pick one you want.”

Finally free, Ji Zhu immediately turned her head to look at the lanterns, not noticing Jiang Bai’s slightly strange expression at all.

Ji Zhu’s eyes were very big, which meant that the lights reflected in her eyes were much more than others, making them look even brighter.

Jiang Bai looked at those eyes. Actually, having such a little thing by her side was quite interesting.

I want that one, that one!

Ji Zhu excitedly patted Jiang Bai’s arm, pointing her to the lantern she wanted.

It was the lantern hanging at the highest point of the rack, shaped like a sleeping orange cat, looking very lifelike. The warm yellow light shone out, looking quite warm.

“Little Immortal Beast has such good taste! This is our best lantern, but this lantern is not for sale. It’s a prize. As long as you can take down the red lantern on the flower rack, this orange cat lantern is yours,” the stall owner quickly introduced enthusiastically, and then pointed to a wooden rack on the side that was almost twenty to thirty stories high. A red lantern was hanging at the very top, and at this moment, it was faintly emitting candlelight.

Ji Zhu looked at the wooden rack, then at Jiang Bai, feeling that this was a bit too easy for Jiang Bai.

Then, the stall owner began to explain again. The general meaning was that one could not use spiritual energy and had to rely on one’s own movement skills. When picking the red lantern, one would also have to compete with others.

“Miss, do you want to sign up for the competition? The next round is about to start.”

Jiang Bai glanced at the pleading Ji Zhu and finally said, “I’ll participate.”

“Alright, please wait here for a moment,” after saying that, the stall owner looked at Ji Zhu in Jiang Bai’s arms and said hesitantly, “Does the Little Immortal Beast need my help to look after it?”

“No need,” Jiang Bai refused faintly, then looked down at Ji Zhu’s dazed appearance and curled her lips. “You’ll have to hold on tight later. No one will save you if you fall.”

Ji Zhu: “…” Put me down, thank you.

But it was obvious that once the enchantress had made a decision, it was impossible to change it.

With the referee’s order, dozens of people rushed up the rack, all with some martial arts skills. Before they had climbed very high, they were already about to start fighting.

Ji Zhu immediately hugged Jiang Bai’s neck tightly, really wishing she could become a sticker and stick to her. Although there were soft cushions below, falling from such a height was still fatal for a cat like her.

Among this group of people, Jiang Bai was undoubtedly the most eye-catching. Her graceful figure, her enchanting and beautiful face, and the cat in her arms, she rushed up at an extremely fast speed.

The higher up, the smaller the rack became, like a tower. As the wooden rack under her feet suddenly shook, a white figure quickly shot up and looked at Jiang Bai with a light laugh. “Miss, we meet again.”

Jiang Bai glanced sideways and found that it was the man she had met this morning when she was buying candied haws. She hadn’t seen this man before, so it was clear that he had decided to participate on the spur of the moment.

She didn’t waste any words and directly attacked with her leg. The two of them competed in leg techniques in mid-air, making a huge commotion. The people below all looked up, and even the other contestants gradually stopped their movements and looked at the situation above.

“Haha, miss has good movement skills!” the man laughed heartily, his attacks becoming faster and faster.

Jiang Bai kicked him in the waist, and then used the force to climb up several layers of the wooden rack. But she was entangled by the man who was chasing her closely and had to temporarily stop to deal with him.

Ji Zhu, who was wrapped around Jiang Bai, was almost dizzy from watching. These two were really fighting. The sound of fists hitting flesh made her feel the pain.

Jiang Bai’s gaze darkened slightly. This man’s strength was not weak. To have such strength at such a young age, he was either from a large family or a direct disciple of some sect.

Neither of them held back. The man’s movement skills were actually on par with Jiang Bai’s. And because Jiang Bai was holding a cat in her arms, her movements were hindered. Ji Zhu wanted her to put her on the rack and hold on by herself, but the enchantress had no time to bother with her now.

Even without using spiritual energy, the two of them were already surprisingly fast with just their movement skills. In the end, it was difficult for others to even see their moves clearly.

But Ji Zhu instinctively felt a sense of unease. She could feel Jiang Bai’s body getting hotter and hotter.

As someone who had read the entire novel, even if Ji Zhu hadn’t realized it when her body temperature first rose, she was instantly awakened when it got hotter and hotter.

Unfortunately, Jiang Bai’s heat poison had acted up at this time.

Ji Zhu was so anxious she was jumping up and down, but she didn’t dare to make a sound to affect Jiang Bai. She was already starting to regret wanting that orange cat lantern.

“Bang!”

With a muffled sound, Jiang Bai kicked the man directly in the chest. As she kicked him down, she also used the force to flip onto the highest point of the rack and picked the red lantern.

“Haha, good!”

The man who was kicked down was not angry at all. Instead, he looked up and cheered for Jiang Bai above.

Jiang Bai held Ji Zhu and the red lantern in her hand. Ji Zhu looked at her anxiously. Seeing that her face was already flushed from the heat, she was even more anxious.

Jiang Bai calmly took out an ice spirit pill from her Mizi Ring and swallowed it. She jumped down directly from the high platform and handed the red lantern to the stall owner.

The stall owner was stunned for a moment, but after he came back to his senses, he quickly took down the orange cat lantern and handed it to Jiang Bai.

Jiang Bai took it and was about to leave when the man from before came up again. After bowing, he said, “Miss, to meet is fate. Why don’t we get to know each other?”

“My name is Zong Cao. May I ask for the lady’s name?”

Ji Zhu was originally anxious about Jiang Bai, but when this person announced his name, Ji Zhu was still shocked and shifted her gaze to him.

Zong Cao, the young master of the Zong family of Xiling, and also the male lead Xiao Ge’s good brother.

What’s going on? Why do I keep meeting these plot characters? And in the novel, didn’t this person look down on Jiang Bai at first, thinking that she had a face that was not content with staying at home?

It was only after Jiang Bai got together with Xiao Ge that he, as a good brother, slowly changed his opinion of her.

Looking at Zong Cao, who seemed to be acting like a romantic young master, Jiang Bai sneered. It had been too long since she had been out. Now, whoever saw her had to ask her who she was.

“I’m not interested in getting to know you. Please move aside,” Jiang Bai was now completely relying on her willpower to hold on. In fact, the flesh and blood all over her body felt as if it were being burned dry, and the pain was unbearable.

Being rejected so ruthlessly, Zong Cao was stunned for a moment. He clearly hadn’t expected a woman to reject him twice in a row.

Seeing her leaving back, Zong Cao shouted, “Seeing that the lady’s strength is not bad, you must be an outstanding talent from some family. Let’s meet at the Centennial Grand Competition!”

Jiang Bai ignored his words. She had originally been walking, but then she quickened her pace, and finally, she directly used her spiritual energy to teleport away, returning to the inn where they were temporarily staying.

Jiang Bai knocked on Qiong Yin’s door. The first time Qiong Yin saw her, she noticed that her complexion was not right. Just as she was about to ask, a cat was stuffed into her arms.

“Senior Sister, I’ll have to trouble you to look after Little Cat,” as she spoke, she handed over the lantern in her other hand. Even though she had hidden it, her voice still inevitably had a hint of tension. “This is Little Cat’s lantern.”

Qiong Yin held Ji Zhu and subconsciously took the lantern that was handed to her. But before she could speak, Jiang Bai had already disappeared, leaving only a faint scent of peach blossoms to prove that she had been there.

Qiong Yin stood there in a daze for a long time. It was already night, and handing her over meant that Little Cat would be spending the night with her. With Jiang Bai’s possessiveness over Little Cat, it was almost impossible for her to take the initiative to hand Little Cat over to her to take care of.

This meant that something had happened to Jiang Bai. Seeing the unnatural flush on her face earlier, it must be that the heat poison had acted up again.

Ji Zhu had been handed over by Jiang Bai without even reacting. When she was staring at Qiong Yin, she came back to her senses and immediately jumped down from her, wanting to go back to her room to check on Jiang Bai’s condition.

Although she couldn’t provide any help, at least with Jiang Bai under her watch, she could be a little more at ease.

“Little Cat!” Qiong Yin quickly picked her up, her face a little ugly. “With A-Bai’s current condition, it’s better for us to stand guard outside.”

When Jiang Bai’s heat poison acted up, it was when she was at her weakest. Thinking of this, she quickly went to find Su Xin, planning to protect Jiang Bai.

Ji Zhu looked at the tightly closed door, so anxious that she was about to cry.

She regretted wanting the lantern.
