The Hehuan Sect Enchantress’s Short-Lived Spirit Pet 34

Chapter 34: Little Shoes

Jiang Bai was almost angered to the point of laughing by their back-and-forth. She glanced at the listless Ji Zhu and finally said nothing more.

Ji Zhu came down from Qiong Yin’s arms and came over to rub against the enchantress’s calf.

Just be a little more patient with me. She looked back at Qiong Yin, her determination to cultivate becoming even stronger.

Absolutely cannot let Qiong Yin fall into the same ending as in the novel!

Seeing her like this, Jiang Bai sighed lightly, rubbed her head, and said, “Only when you are strong yourself will you be more at ease in the future.”

Ji Zhu nodded in agreement, but still looked at Jiang Bai with a wronged expression. Her own aptitude was not suitable for cultivation. It was all thanks to the Bilo Fruit improving her bloodline. It would definitely be much more difficult in the early stages. Wasn’t it normal for it to be a little difficult?

Jiang Bai: “…Alright, I won’t say anything about you in the future.”

She really can’t be told a single word. She’s either angry or wronged, and in the end, it’s all my fault.

Qiong Yin nodded in relief on the side.

Hearing her say this, Ji Zhu rubbed against her softly again, and finally, she proactively hugged her calf, asking for a hug.

Jiang Bai picked her up and said to the others, “Let’s go. Be vigilant and don’t be careless.”

“Yes, Young Sect Master!” the others replied in unison.

Xia Ye felt a little sour when she saw this situation. Jiang Bai was really so majestic as the Young Sect Master. Whatever she said went, and the others didn’t even question it.

It was all her unreliable Master’s fault. If she had taken in more disciples, she would have had this kind of treatment too!

Walking out of the cave and looking at the ice and snow outside, Xia Ye sighed in her heart.

It was another day of thinking about Su Xin. Thinking that she would not see Su Xin for the next sixteen years, Xia Ye was completely dejected.

As for Ji Zhu in front, she poked her head out to look at Xia Ye, worried that she would fall for Xiao Ge in this mystic realm. She had to keep a close eye on her and remind her at the necessary moments.

You’ve already forced your love on Elder Su Xin, so you must not do anything to let her down!

Xia Ye: “…” For some reason, she always felt that the little cat’s gaze towards her was strange.

The group continued to head northwest. On the way, they encountered many demonic beasts. When their strengths were similar, Jiang Bai would always let them solve it themselves. Even Ji Zhu was put down by her to train.

Although Ji Zhu didn’t have to go forward to fight the demonic beasts, one of the two layers of spiritual energy protection on her body was removed by Jiang Bai, allowing her to feel the cold here within a tolerable range, which was a way of training her physique.

At the same time, this was also a way to consume a large amount of spiritual energy in her body. Only by consuming and then immediately absorbing spiritual energy for circulation could she master the method of cultivation as much as possible, and it was also a way to quickly improve her strength.

This was a hardship for Ji Zhu. From time to time, she would have to do a breakdance to relieve the cold under her feet.

Her expression was resentful, but she didn’t dare to direct this resentful aura at Jiang Bai again. She could only dejectedly try her best to adapt to the environment here. Not only that, but she also had to be distracted to pay attention to Xia Ye and to urge Qiong Yin to cultivate diligently.

Don’t always put so much energy on medical arts and alchemy! Otherwise, you won’t be able to win a fight in the future! It’s not about winning, at least you have to be able to run away!

Not long after, everyone found that although Elder Su Xin had not come in, the spirit of urging them to cultivate had come in with Ji Zhu.

When it came to making them cultivate, even Jiang Bai was not as strict as Ji Zhu!

After finally digging a cave to rest, she saw Ji Zhu walk to Qiong Yin with her steady steps, her deep blue eyes staring straight at her.

Qiong Yin: “…”

Ji Zhu turned her head to look at You Fu and the others.

You Fu: “…”

Xia Ye on the side was gloating. “Hurry up and cultivate! Why are you so lacking in awareness that you need a little cat to watch you cultivate?”

Ji Zhu quickly turned her head and stared at Xia Ye distantly, her eyes as if silently conveying a sentence: I missed you, didn’t I?

Xia Ye: “…”

Under the “pressure” of Ji Zhu’s gaze, no one dared to rest anymore. One by one, they sat cross-legged and entered a state of cultivation. For a time, the surrounding spiritual energy quickly gathered here, and the spiritual energy in the cave surged, and was finally transformed into their own spiritual energy.

Jiang Bai looked at this situation and beckoned to Ji Zhu. Ji Zhu immediately trotted back to her side and lay down. Jiang Bai’s hand fell on her head, and a gentle spiritual energy entered from her Baihui acupoint, guiding the spiritual energy in her body to help her clear impurities.

It was strange. Logically, if someone else’s spiritual energy wanted to enter one’s body, if it wasn’t a Daoist couple who had dual cultivated for a long time and had a high degree of tacit understanding, they would be repelled by the foreign spiritual energy. But this had never happened with Ji Zhu.

The feeling was as if the spiritual energy that entered was her own.

Ji Zhu slowly calmed her mind and circulated with Jiang Bai’s rhythm. As for Jiang Bai, she was helping her cultivate while releasing her spiritual sense to be on guard against the surrounding situation, so that they would not be caught off guard if something happened.

As her spiritual sense spread out bit by bit, she felt a somewhat familiar spiritual energy fluctuation. After thinking about it carefully, Jiang Bai’s brows relaxed, and she did not pay too much attention to it anymore.

It was Changsun Qiyu. If it were someone else, she might be more vigilant, but she didn’t have to worry about anything happening with Changsun Qiyu.

Changsun Qiyu’s character was upright, and she would not do things like killing people for treasures or nipping the sect’s threat in the bud.

Moreover, before entering the mystic realm, she had come to find her and said that she wanted to join forces in the mystic realm, so that the safety could be greatly improved.

But from the fact that Jiang Bai had not contacted Changsun Qiyu after entering the mystic realm, it could be seen that Jiang Bai had clearly rejected this proposal.

In Jiang Bai’s opinion, the reason was very simple. If it were just Changsun Qiyu alone, she naturally wouldn’t mind joining forces. However, besides her, 8 others from the Immortal Sword Sect had also come in. As the Senior Sister of the sect, Changsun Qiyu naturally couldn’t leave them alone, which meant that joining forces with Changsun Qiyu was joining forces with the Immortal Sword Sect.

Besides Changsun Qiyu, who could give her a good impression, she didn’t want to bother with the others in the Immortal Sword Sect, let alone that there was a Xiao Ge among them.

If the petty little thing, the little cat, knew that they were going to be with Xiao Ge and the others all the way, wouldn’t she be angered to death?

This little thing was really hard to coax. Jiang Bai said that it was better not to look for trouble.

She retracted a part of her spiritual sense, and Jiang Bai thought about what to do next. After all, since she had already discovered Changsun Qiyu’s spiritual energy fluctuation here, it meant that the people of the Immortal Sword Sect were nearby, and it was only a matter of time before they met.

She opened her eyes and looked at Ji Zhu beside her, and sighed lightly in her heart.

It would be good if this little thing doesn’t die of anger then.

**

After a night of cultivation, everyone came out of their cultivation state refreshed. As expected, a place with sufficient spiritual energy was nourishing. After gradually getting used to the environment here, they even felt that they had been nourished by the climate and had become more watery.

“A-Bai, I think I should be breaking through soon,” Qiong Yin said with some hesitation.

For so many years, she had been engrossed in medical arts and alchemy, and had neglected her cultivation. She had been stuck at the mid-Golden Core stage for many years. But now, not long after entering this mystic realm, she could already faintly feel the signs of her bottleneck loosening.

When she said this, You Fu and the others immediately became happy. Someone was about to break through in such a short time. How could it not be a good thing?

Hearing this, Jiang Bai nodded. “Next, let’s find a place with more abundant spiritual energy. We’ll protect you, and you can concentrate on breaking through.”

Qiong Yin nodded vigorously. She had a strong premonition that she would definitely break through this time!

Ji Zhu looked at Qiong Yin with a gratified look. As long as her own strength is also high, it would be best if she can beat the other party’s dog head!

But her happy mood did not last long. When she saw the group of people from the Immortal Sword Sect appear, her face drooped.

Looking at Xiao Ge at the back of the crowd, Ji Zhu’s expression was extremely complicated.

Since they could meet in this place, it meant that she had not chosen the wrong direction. The residence of the great alchemy master was here.

She had originally thought that she could find it before the male lead and quietly snatch the opportunity. Alright, now she had to snatch it in front of him.

From beginning to end, Ji Zhu had never given up the idea of snatching the male lead’s opportunity!

“Young Sect Master Jiang,” Changsun Qiyu saw Jiang Bai and the others and nodded slightly in greeting, and once again issued an invitation. “Since we’ve met, why don’t we act together?”

Jiang Bai had originally wanted to refuse directly. After all, although there were only people from the Immortal Sword Sect now, Changsun Qiyu was from the Changsun family, and three people from the Changsun family had also entered the mystic realm. At that time, they might meet up with the people of the Immortal Sword Sect.

But…

Jiang Bai felt Ji Zhu rubbing against her. It was obvious that she wanted her to agree.

When did she become so generous?

Jiang Bai was puzzled, but after considering it, she still nodded. “We’ll travel together for now.”

Ji Zhu knocked her head against the enchantress’s leg in satisfaction. The enchantress knows her best!

They really didn’t have to be tied to the people of the Immortal Sword Sect all the time. The reason why Ji Zhu had thought it through and wanted to stay with them was also to better intercept the male lead’s opportunity in advance. As long as she got the opportunity this time, she could completely throw the male lead aside. Who would want to see him hanging around in front of them all the time?

What if the enchantress and Xia Ye fall for him? She would vomit blood from anger!

Changsun Qiyu’s cold face smiled faintly. The people behind her had different expressions, especially Xiao Ge at the very back, whose gaze would occasionally sweep over Jiang Bai, which made Ji Zhu, who was always paying attention to him, very unhappy.

What are you looking at? Haven’t you seen a beauty before!

Although they had agreed to travel together, it was obvious that the two groups were still clearly separated. When they encountered a powerful demonic beast, they would attack together, and the final results would be split 50-50. The people led by Wei Yan were very dissatisfied in their hearts, feeling that they had more people and had put in more effort, so why should they split it evenly with others? But this proposal was made by Changsun Qiyu, so even if they were dissatisfied, it was not good to say it out loud.

Changsun Qiyu glanced at the people of the Immortal Sword Sect not far away, a hint of worry in her eyes. “They have been at ease for too long. If their mentality continues like this…”

She did not continue her words. As the largest sect in the cultivation world, the Immortal Sword Sect naturally had the capital to be proud. But excessive pride would turn into arrogance, and in the end, they would look down on others and not be able to see their own strength clearly, and the result would only be destruction.

“They will all grow up. Miss Changsun doesn’t have to worry about these things,” Qiong Yin comforted her in a warm voice. In her opinion, Changsun Qiyu was simply an anomaly in the Immortal Sword Sect. Compared to the other disciples who thought highly of themselves, Changsun Qiyu could instead put down her airs and see reality clearly.

Changsun Qiyu looked at Qiong Yin and hummed lightly.

Changsun Qiyu was not a person of many words, but who was Qiong Yin? With her around, the atmosphere would not be too awkward. She immediately and very understandingly began to chat with Changsun Qiyu.

“I saw that you had a move in the competition where you clearly stabbed out with one sword, but how did it turn into several ice crystals in an instant when it got close to the other party, catching them off guard?”

Faced with Qiong Yin’s kind attitude, Changsun Qiyu naturally told her everything she knew and began to explain it to her in detail.

Seeing their situation, Ji Zhu looked at Xia Ye, who had run off somewhere, with a look of disappointment. Couldn’t she learn from Qiong Yin and be a little more motivated!

Jiang Bai looked at Ji Zhu thoughtfully. She always felt that she had been paying extra attention to Xia Ye since she had entered the Extreme Cold Mystic Realm.

She looked at Xia Ye, and Jiang Bai’s brows furrowed for a moment. Is there anything special about Xia Ye? Is it worth her looking at her for so long? She’s not as good-looking as me.

She glared at Xia Ye coldly, and with a stretch of her leg, she forcefully turned Ji Zhu’s head in another direction.

Ji Zhu: “…?”

Hello? Do you have a problem?

Ji Zhu looked at the enchantress silently, not understanding what she was up to again.

“Miss Jiang.”

In a moment of carelessness, Xiao Ge had come to Jiang Bai.

Ji Zhu: “???”

Did you flash here? Is it so great to be the male lead! You can appear anywhere at any time!

Jiang Bai looked up at him and said in an indifferent tone, “Is there something?”

Xiao Ge took out an ice crystal grass and said cheerfully, “I found it earlier. It has the effect of waking up the mind and concentrating. Give this to your spirit pet, it can help her cultivate better.”

Ji Zhu stared at the enchantress’s expression warily. One of her paws was already itching to move. As long as the enchantress dared to show a different expression, she would step on the enchantress’s shoes!

“Are you saying that my spirit pet is not focused and her cultivation is not good enough?” Jiang Bai frowned and looked at Xiao Ge dangerously.

Xiao Ge: “???”

Was that what he meant? But seeing the change in Jiang Bai’s expression, he quickly explained, “No, I mean this ice crystal grass can be the icing on the cake and make your spirit pet’s cultivation easier!”

“Are you saying that I misunderstood your meaning?”

Xiao Ge: “…” It seemed that no matter how he answered, it would only get worse.

Ji Zhu looked at the enchantress with her head held high, dumbfounded. She hadn’t expected the enchantress’s ability to be so unreasonable to be so amazing!

But she liked it!

Hehe, anyway, it’s used to deal with the male lead, not her.

“And do you think I would be lacking in this kind of thing?” Jiang Bai looked at the ice crystal grass in his hand and frowned even tighter. Although the ice crystal grass was hard to find, it was not that rare. Was she so poor that she couldn’t afford to give her spirit pet these things and needed others to curry favor?

This time, Xiao Ge was completely silent. Perhaps he was already reflecting on why he had come here. He had probably shot himself in the foot by trying to flatter her.

Ji Zhu gave Jiang Bai a satisfied look. Very good, just like that, keep it up!

Jiang Bai touched Ji Zhu with her leg, and Ji Zhu immediately and very sensibly followed up, even meowing at the enchantress in a delicate voice, in a very good mood.

Jiang Bai looked at Ji Zhu’s upright, gently swaying fluffy tail, and let out an almost imperceptible snort of laughter. She reached out and grabbed it, rubbing it.

Now that Ji Zhu was in a good mood, she could rub it however she wanted. It would be even better if she could let her foot step on her foot.

After thinking for a moment, while they were resting, Ji Zhu slapped her paw on the enchantress’s body, signaling for her to look at the bottom of her foot.

Jiang Bai: “…” This little thing is getting more and more presumptuous.

But in the end, she still held one of Ji Zhu’s legs and carefully examined the bottom of her foot. “What’s wrong?”

After looking at it, there were no injuries, and the pads of her paws were still pink and tender. So what was she being so delicate about?

She still doesn’t understand?

Ji Zhu was annoyed. She patted her shoe, signaling if it was fair.

They all have shoes to wear, but I have to directly touch the ice with my pads. It’s so cold!

Jiang Bai understood her request this time, but…

“Where can I find a size that you can wear?” She hadn’t thought of this problem when she had entered the mystic realm. Now that she suddenly proposed to wear shoes, where could she get them?

“Hmm? Is Little Cat’s foot cold?” Qiong Yin, who was not far away, heard the commotion and came over. After looking, her brows curved into a smile, and her gentle and watery eyes were particularly beautiful.

“I can make a pair of little shoes for Little Cat,” as she spoke, she actually started to prepare. She took out a soft ruler from her space ring and started to measure the size of Ji Zhu’s paws.

Ji Zhu looked at Qiong Yin with a moved expression, and then, as if in disgust, she glanced at Jiang Bai, her eyes full of: Look at her, and then look at you!

Jiang Bai: “…”

She closed her mouth with a gloomy expression, her whole body exuding a low and intimidating pressure. But of the one person and one cat who were close to her, neither was afraid of her appearance.

After measuring the size, Qiong Yin quickly took out the fabric to prepare for cutting. She even let Ji Zhu choose a favorite pattern. Her movements were smooth and fluid, which showed that her needlework skills were not bad.

Under her skillful hands, a small, exquisite, and cute little shoe soon appeared. After letting Ji Zhu try it on and finding that it fit, she started to make the next three.

Changsun Qiyu on the side was slightly stunned when she saw her action. Then, she came to Qiong Yin’s side with great curiosity and squatted down, watching Qiong Yin’s movements carefully.

Changsun Qiyu was completely unfamiliar with the most common needlework and embroidery of women in the ordinary world. She had shown amazing cultivation talent since she was a child, and her family only paid attention to her cultivation and would never ask her to learn these things.

“Do you like it?” Qiong Yin’s hand movements did not stop, and she chuckled softly. “But these shoes are too small for you to wear. If you like them, I can make a pair that fits you.”

As the young master of the Changsun family and the Senior Sister of the Immortal Sword Sect, Changsun Qiyu naturally did not lack these things since she was a child. But now, seeing a pair of shoes being made stitch by stitch in Qiong Yin’s hands, she couldn’t help but feel a little novel. When Qiong Yin said that, for the first time, she did not choose to refuse.

“Alright,” she replied softly.

Hearing her reply, Qiong Yin looked up at her, smiled, and said, “What size do you wear? Do you like any of the fabric patterns I took out just now?”

“But you can’t choose the color that Little Cat chose. A-Bai is rather petty and doesn’t like others to use the same things as Little Cat.”

Jiang Bai, who had heard the whole conversation on the side: “…”

Not only did her Senior Sister not think of making a pair for her, but she even said she was petty!

Ji Zhu lay on the side and flicked her tail, thinking in her heart that Senior Sister was really a good person. Just because someone else liked it, she was willing to make a pair of shoes for them.

Such a gentle Senior Sister, how could anyone bear to hurt her?

“White is fine,” Changsun Qiyu said softly.

“Alright,” Qiong Yin replied with a grin.

Jiang Bai, who was called petty by her Senior Sister, felt a little stifled in her heart. Seeing Ji Zhu lying leisurely on the side, she couldn’t help but vent her anger on Ji Zhu and directly put her foot under her abdomen!

Feeling the soft warmth of her abdomen, Jiang Bai’s eyes and brows relaxed slightly, and her eyes and brows were filled with a pleasant taste.

Ji Zhu was startled by her action!

She quickly turned her head to look at the enchantress, questioning her with her eyes what she was doing!

However, Jiang Bai deliberately did not look at her and looked elsewhere.

Ji Zhu: “…”

Senior Sister said she was petty, and she’s still holding a grudge. If she’s holding a grudge, then she’s holding a grudge. But she doesn’t dare to take revenge on Senior Sister, and only knows how to bully the weak!

Ji Zhu really wanted to get up and walk elsewhere, but feeling the cold feet under her abdomen, she finally curled up her body and held the enchantress’s leg even tighter, helping her warm her feet.

Feeling her action, Jiang Bai looked at her in surprise. She had originally thought that this little thing would get angry and bark at her, or step on her a couple of times. Who knew that she would accept it so peacefully, and even take the initiative to help her warm her.

Has this little thing changed its nature?

Before the break was over, Qiong Yin quickly made four little shoes for Ji Zhu. After putting them on and feeling them for a while, besides being a little unaccustomed to them at first, the shoes were actually very comfortable to wear, and she no longer had to directly touch the ice. Ji Zhu happily rubbed against Qiong Yin’s leg to express her joy and gratitude.

Jiang Bai looked at her sycophantic appearance and snorted coldly from her nose. So what if she can make shoes? Is it as useful as her helping to clear impurities and comb meridians?

On the other side, the other members of the Immortal Sword Sect looked at their situation with a complicated expression and a faint disdain. They had already entered this place, yet they were not seizing the time to cultivate, but were busy with such useless things.

Especially that cat. They couldn’t understand why Jiang Bai would bring such a weak thing in, and even raise it with all kinds of pills. To take so many good things and feed them to such a useless thing, and after piling up so many pills, it was still of no use. It was simply a waste of heavenly treasures.

Ji Zhu still didn’t know how the people of the Immortal Sword Sect were criticizing her. Otherwise, she would have died of anger.

Did they eat from their family’s rice bowl? Jiang Bai’s things, she can use them however she wants. Why are they still coveting them?

They continued to head northwest. The glaciers became taller and more numerous to the naked eye. Some of the ice surfaces were even as sharp as a sword, shooting straight into the sky with an awe-inspiring aura.

However, since yesterday, the group had felt that the surroundings were extremely quiet. Besides their footsteps, there seemed to be no other sound.

Jiang Bai released her spiritual sense to check, but she did not find anything unusual. But the lack of anything unusual was the biggest anomaly.

It was a bit too quiet and strange. Even under the ice, she did not even sense any traces of fish swimming.

A moment of silence could make people raise their guard, but a long period of silence would make people become numb and silent. Gradually, there was no more talking in the team.

“Crack—crack—”

It sounded like a crack. Jiang Bai was instantly alert. Just as she was about to remind the others, with a loud “boom,” a huge demonic beast broke through the ice. The violent impact caused large chunks of the ice to shatter. Those who could not react in time immediately fell into the bone-chilling water.

“Hmm?”

Ji Zhu only had time to let out a short, surprised sound before she was instantly enveloped in darkness, and the cold liquid tightly wrapped around her.

“Little Cat!”
