The Hehuan Sect Enchantress’s Short-Lived Spirit Pet 40p2

Chapter 40: Bad Woman p2

After a night’s sleep, Ji Zhu was in a good mood, especially when she woke up on the way back to the Hehuan Sect, and she hadn’t seen Xiao Ge in the team. Her mood was so good that it could almost bubble.

She had finally gotten rid of him!

What a broken male lead, so disgusting. The heavens are really blind!

Not only was her mood very good, but even Qiong Yin and the others were also. After all, they had been “away from home” for a long time, and they were a little homesick.

However, among this group of people, only Xia Ye had a gloomy face, as if someone owed her tens of thousands of spirit stones. Her gaze would occasionally fall on Su Xin in the front.

As long as Su Xin returned to the Hehuan Sect, it would not be so easy for her to see her again.

But Su Xin was oblivious to all her reluctance and all her bad emotions. Many times, Xia Ye also hated her for her iron heart and wished she could just let it go. But after calming down, she could not let go no matter what.

The person who had once held up a piece of the sky for her when she was little, how could she let her go?

The gaze from behind seemed to have solidified. Su Xin’s body was a little stiff, and she forced herself not to look back. The hand hanging by her side, hidden in her sleeve, was tightly clenched into a fist, and her heart was full of bitterness.

Sixteen years had passed, and still, nothing had changed.

Jiang Bai looked at the happy Ji Zhu and put a Yuan-Consolidating Pill into her mouth. After so many years, the pills that had been refined from the Bilo Fruit had long been consumed, and the effect of the Bilo Fruit was obviously also very significant. At least now, Ji Zhu’s cultivation was several times smoother than before.

Ji Zhu ate the pill and felt a warm and pure spiritual energy spread to her four limbs and hundred bones. Her whole body was much more comfortable. She lay lazily in Jiang Bai’s arms, her head awkwardly looking in Xia Ye’s direction.

If it were up to her, she would definitely want to bring Xia Ye back to the Hehuan Sect, so that she would not be taken advantage of by Xiao Ge when she was alone outside. But the Hehuan Sect was not hers, and it was almost impossible to bring Xia Ye back to live for a long time.

Unless the enchantress came forward, or Su Xin.

But these two…

It was better not to say it!

Ji Zhu knocked her chin against the enchantress’s collarbone. She had never thought that the enchantress would be so petty. Usually, she would just look at others a few more times, and she would throw a tantrum and make her uncomfortable.

She was simply so difficult to deal with!

Jiang Bai pinched the scruff of her neck, not knowing what she was up to again.

Ji Zhu let out a purring sound in comfort, her gaze on Qiong Yin. She saw Qiong Yin looking down at something, her expression very serious.

“What is Senior Sister doing?” Ji Zhu couldn’t see clearly, so she asked Jiang Bai.

Jiang Bai looked up and immediately thought of the scene she had seen this morning. The corners of her lips curled up slightly. “She’s looking at the thing that Changsun Qiyu gave her.”

“Huh?” Ji Zhu was shocked, and her gossipy mind was instantly piqued! She struggled to get down from Jiang Bai’s arms, wanting to see what Changsun Qiyu had given Qiong Yin.

When she was in the mystic realm, she had found that Changsun Qiyu and Qiong Yin got along very well. Although Changsun Qiyu looked a little cold and talked less, every time Qiong Yin talked to her, she would listen very seriously and had never been impatient.

Jiang Bai looked at the little thing’s trotting figure: “…”

She knew she would go over! Even if she knew, she was still so angry in her heart!

Ji Zhu came to Qiong Yin’s side and very skillfully climbed up her leg, and saw the thing that Qiong Yin had not had time to put away.

It was a sachet?

Ji Zhu was confused. Why would Changsun Qiyu think of giving Qiong Yin a sachet? Didn’t she not know how to do needlework? Where did this thing come from?

And it was so ugly.

She didn’t know what was embroidered on it, and it was crooked.

“Senior Sister~” Ji Zhu’s voice was soft and glutinous.

As soon as she heard this milky, soft voice, Qiong Yin was in a good mood. She held Ji Zhu in her arms, rubbed her cheeks, and then rubbed her head with her cheek with a grin. “Why is Little Cat willing to come and find me?”

“The sachet~ I want to see~” Ji Zhu’s eyes were pleading, wanting to see it more clearly.

What if this becomes their love token in the future? I have to be the first to witness it!

As soon as she mentioned the sachet, Qiong Yin’s cheeks turned slightly red. “Little Cat, why are you so gossipy? You want to see this too.”

“I want to~” Ji Zhu nodded repeatedly. She had seen it at a glance just now and it was very ugly. She didn’t know if it would be the same up close.

She acted coquettishly in a soft and gentle voice, and Qiong Yin really couldn’t resist her attack. She helplessly took out the sachet. “Alright, look.”

Ji Zhu looked at it carefully: “…”

Hmm… it’s still so ugly.

The stitches were a mess. It felt like it was worse than a beginner’s. Could it be that Changsun Qiyu had embroidered it herself?

What kind of mood was Changsun Qiyu in when she gave this thing to Qiong Yin?

Wasn’t she afraid that Qiong Yin would laugh?

Looking at the little cat’s hesitant expression, Qiong Yin couldn’t help but squint her eyes and smile. “What do you think? Is it beautiful?”

Ji Zhu was choked. She secretly glanced at Qiong Yin’s face. Seeing that she seemed to be in a good mood and clearly liked this sachet, Ji Zhu reluctantly gave her some face and said, “It’s… beautiful!”

She’s not lying! She just knows a little bit about human relationships!

“Haha—”

Qiong Yin couldn’t help but laugh out loud. Her eyes and brows relaxed, and she was very beautiful. Her clear, gentle, and watery eyes seemed to contain soft autumn water, and she was exceptionally radiant.

“Has Little Cat learned bad things from A-Bai and can even tell lies now?”

Jiang Bai, whose ears were very sharp not far away: “…”

It’s clearly the little cat who’s bad. Why is she blaming me for this?

That little thing is just ruining my reputation everywhere!

“I don’t want you to be sad~” Ji Zhu chuckled. She could see that it was probably a crooked chicken embroidered on the sachet. But who would give someone a sachet with a chicken embroidered on it?

But Ji Zhu, who had already told a lie, was a little afraid to ask. What if it wasn’t a chicken and she had said it was a chicken? How embarrassing would that be!

And Ji Zhu suspected that Changsun Qiyu had probably wanted to embroider a pair of mandarin ducks, but her skills were not good enough, so she had embroidered a chicken.

After all, many novels were like this!

“Did Changsun Qiyu give it to you?” Ji Zhu asked knowingly.

“A-Bai is also gossipy. Why did she tell you this?” Qiong Yin glanced at Jiang Bai and then chuckled softly. “It was Qiyu who gave it to me. She said it was a return gift for the pair of shoes.”

She didn’t know how long she had been secretly embroidering it. She hadn’t noticed it at all during the time they had spent together.

Ji Zhu nodded repeatedly. She didn’t know if it was because she had had more contact with same-sex love, but now her acceptance of this was simply too high, and she was even secretly shipping CPs.

In fact, when she had seen Qiong Yin and Changsun Qiyu standing together before, she had felt that the two of them were very harmonious and compatible. Although Changsun Qiyu talked less, her attitude was good! The way her eyes focused on Qiong Yin when she spoke, anyone would drown in them!

“Senior Sister, go for it! I’m very optimistic about you!” Ji Zhu chuckled and patted Qiong Yin’s shoulder, giving her an encouraging look. Her heart was beating excitedly. From Changsun Qiyu’s act of personally embroidering a sachet for Qiong Yin, she saw a little bit of hope!

Qiong Yin was a little flustered by Ji Zhu’s sly smile, and her words even stumbled.

“Optimistic, optimistic about what?”

Why did she feel that the little cat’s attitude was strange? Especially when she knew that Changsun Qiyu had given her a sachet.

Ji Zhu shook her head and was unwilling to say. She only dared to secretly ship CPs like this. How could she dance in front of the real person? What if the two of them were really just good friends, and she made them embarrassed by her dance?

Qiong Yin was helpless. At the same time, she was also a little guilty when she faced Ji Zhu’s words, worried that she would say something that would make her confused again. She quickly returned Ji Zhu to Jiang Bai.

She felt that the little cat was very clever now. If she did something in the future, she would have to avoid her.

Looking at the returned Ji Zhu, Jiang Bai raised an eyebrow at her and snorted lightly. “Senior Sister doesn’t want you anymore.”

Ji Zhu’s mind instantly imagined the sassy, teasing tone saying, “Your mother doesn’t want you anymore~”

“…”

“No!” Ji Zhu twisted her body restlessly. “Senior Sister is just shy!”

She must have been hit by what I said. Although she didn’t say it explicitly, it’s hard to say that Qiong Yin didn’t get my meaning!

“Behave yourself,” Jiang Bai patted her head. What is she still twisting in her arms for?

“Oh…” Ji Zhu’s tone dropped. With a dip of her head, when she saw her two paws on the enchantress’s chest, the soft and supple feeling under her paws made her instantly feel as if she had been scalded. She quickly retracted her paws and sneakily glanced at the enchantress.

She shouldn’t have noticed, right? She didn’t do it on purpose just now. But…

The feel is so comfortable! Hehe—

Every time the enchantress bathed, she would be very envious and wanted to touch them. As expected, it was as good as she had imagined!

Jiang Bai looked down at her sideways. The little joy on this little thing’s furry face could not be hidden. The tail hanging behind her would occasionally sweep across her leg. It was really hard not to think that she was doing it on purpose.

“Little lecher,” Jiang Bai patted her bottom lightly. This little thing’s lecherous attribute had really not changed for ten years.

No, it couldn’t be said that there was no change. Perhaps she was getting more and more lecherous.

Ji Zhu’s body stiffened. Did the enchantress find out?

But looking at the enchantress’s attitude, she didn’t seem to be angry?

With this thought, Ji Zhu was much relieved. She rubbed against her cheek and called out softly. She was just a little lecherous, and her intentions were not bad!

Jiang Bai snorted lightly. This little thing only had this much lecherous courage, and nothing more.

**

They returned to the Hehuan Sect all the way. Ji Wuhui had already received the news in advance and was waiting at the sect’s entrance. Seeing them return safely, a faint smile appeared on her usually light face, and she nodded gently. “Congratulations on everyone’s safe return.”

She had also received the news early on. Among the people who had entered the mystic realm this time, the Immortal Sword Sect had lost three disciples, and there were also three demon clan members. No one from the Shura Sect and the Qianren Sect had walked out of the mystic realm, and even the Zong family had lost one person. It was clear how dangerous this mystic realm was.

The Beast Taming Sect and the Qianji Sect were now glad that they had not been able to enter in the first place.

“Sect Master!”

The people of the Hehuan Sect all respected Ji Wuhui very much. Seeing that she had actually come out to welcome them personally, they immediately shouted with excitement.

Ji Zhu looked at Ji Wuhui, who had not changed at all. She still looked like a transcendent immortal who was not stained by a speck of dust. But she didn’t know if it was her imagination, but she always felt that the gloom in Ji Wuhui’s eyes and brows seemed to have become even thicker.

“Master, let’s go in first,” Jiang Bai said. In a while, she and Qiong Yin would have to tell Ji Wuhui in detail about what had happened in the mystic realm, as well as the things that had happened in the Immortal Sword Sect. Their sect also had to be prepared.

The cultivation world was very likely to be in a mess for a while.

Ji Wuhui nodded, her gaze falling on Ji Zhu. She was first surprised for a moment, and then a faint smile appeared. “Little Cat can cultivate?”

“Mm, she already has a mid-Foundation Establishment stage cultivation.”

“That’s great,” Ji Wuhui looked at the expression on Jiang Bai’s face, and the smile in her eyes deepened. It was clear that after so many years, Jiang Bai liked this little cat more and more.

“Little Cat, this is a congratulatory gift for you being able to cultivate,” as she spoke, Ji Wuhui took out a demonic beast’s inner core. “This is the inner core of a jiao dragon that is about to transform into a god. After Little Cat consumes it, her body will have the aura of a jiao dragon, and ordinary demonic beasts will not dare to get close.”

Even the spiritual energy contained in the inner core would also benefit Ji Zhu greatly.

Ji Zhu was slightly surprised. She had not expected that Ji Wuhui would give her such a precious thing. Wasn’t she worried that it would be a waste to give it to her?

However, Jiang Bai had no intention of refusing at all. She took the jiao dragon’s inner core and put it into the space ring hanging from Ji Zhu’s neck. “I’ll thank Master on behalf of Little Cat. I’ll find a chance to help Little Cat refine the jiao dragon’s inner core.”

Seeing that the enchantress had accepted it, Ji Zhu looked up at Ji Wuhui and said softly, “Thank you, Sect Master!”

She found that everyone she had met was very good to her and had never despised her.

Of course, this group of people did not include those arrogant and narrow-minded men.

Hearing her voice, Ji Wuhui rubbed her head and said to the others, “Let’s go in.”

Su Xin’s steps to walk in were slightly stagnant for a moment, and then she acted as if nothing had happened.

Not long ago, Xia Ye had already parted ways with them. But before she left, Xia Ye had said to Su Xin, “I won’t give up.”

Her beautiful face was full of stubbornness. In Su Xin’s eyes, she was sometimes the little girl she was when she was a child, and sometimes she was the way she was now. The two switched back and forth, which gave Su Xin a terrible headache.

She had watched Xia Ye grow up. How could she?

**

Ji Zhu did not follow the enchantress into the main hall to listen to them talk. Instead, she returned to Chixia Peak by herself—by walking.

Speaking of which, Ji Zhu herself was guilty. Although the enchantress had taught her how to fly on a sword, her flying was really not that smooth. If the enchantress was not by her side, she would not dare to fly alone.

Especially flying up to Chixia Peak, which was so high. What if she fell?

Without the enchantress by her side to catch her, she had no sense of security!

Returning to the small courtyard, it was still clean and tidy. Ji Zhu lay comfortably on the bed. As expected, it was much more comfortable to be back home!

Ji Zhu was not in a good mood when she thought that the enchantress would be going into seclusion to break through to the late Nascent Soul stage.

Didn’t this mean that the enchantress would be leaving her, a cat, to live alone for who knows how many years!

The more she thought about it, the more her heart became stuffy. She buried her head in the enchantress’s quilt and thought resentfully, How can the cultivation world be like this? A seclusion can last for a few years at the shortest, and it’s common for it to last for decades or even hundreds of years!

When Jiang Bai returned and saw Ji Zhu’s dejected appearance, she went forward and touched her head. “What’s wrong all of a sudden?”

Wasn’t it fine when she had just returned?

Hearing the enchantress’s voice, Ji Zhu lifted her head and placed it on her lap, saying dejectedly, “Bad woman, you have to come out of your seclusion early, you know.”
