Chapter 44: Leaving p2
Ji Ling sighed lightly, released her spiritual sense, and after finding the trace of a wild chicken, she teleported and disappeared from the spot. When she reappeared, she was already holding a processed wild chicken in her hand and began to start a fire and other things.
Ji Zhu lay on the side and watched. As she watched, she sniffled again. The enchantress would also cook for her like this, but after the salty pig trotter appeared, everything had changed!
While roasting, Ji Ling looked at Ji Zhu and asked, “What’s your name?”
After all this time, this little thing knew so many of her things, but she didn’t even know her name or who her master was.
“Ji Zhu,” Ji Zhu thought for a moment and still gave her real name.
Ji Ling was the first person to know her real name after she had come to this world.
“You have the same surname as Wuhui?” Ji Ling’s hand that was turning the chicken paused slightly.
Ji Zhu shook her head. “No, I’m the Ji from ‘female minister’.”
“Oh,” hearing that it was this surname, Ji Ling had no reaction.
“How did you fall into the demonic path?” Anyway, she was idle. She didn’t want to go back to face the enchantress and the salty pig trotter, so she started to chat with Ji Ling.
“You don’t know?” Ji Ling glanced at her.
“How would I know?” Ji Zhu was bewildered. “I’m only twenty-one!”
The implication was that her story was from who knows how many years ago, and she hadn’t even been born at that time.
Ji Ling sneered. “They’ve kept it quite a secret.”
When she said this, Ji Zhu became even more curious. “How on earth did you fall into the demonic path?”
Since she could be Xia Ye’s Master, it also meant that she must have been a member of the righteous path in the past. How could she have suddenly fallen into the demonic path? And she had indeed not heard anyone talk about someone from the Medicine King Valley falling into the demonic path.
“It’s because I liked Wuhui,” Ji Ling said slowly.
“…”
“???”
“Huh?” Ji Zhu was dumbfounded. Was it what she thought?
“What’s with the ‘huh’? Am I not clear enough?” Ji Ling glanced at her with disdain.
“Clear… enough,” Ji Zhu was choked, but she still couldn’t help but ask, “Is your like the kind of like between a man and a woman?”
Ji Ling couldn’t be bothered to talk to her anymore.
“Are you in an incestuous relationship?!” Ji Zhu exclaimed, looking at her dumbfounded.
Ji Ling: “…?”
“What is an incestuous relationship?” She couldn’t help but ask.
This was a word she had never heard of.
Ji Zhu coughed lightly and said in a small voice, “It’s like you, sisters in love. It’s easy to have your legs broken, so it’s called an incestuous relationship.”
“Oh~” Ji Ling had a sudden realization. “But we’re not in love. It’s just me who likes her one-sidedly.”
“Then it’s still an incestuous relationship for you,” Ji Zhu said in a small voice.
Ji Ling nodded in agreement. “That’s also true.”
Ji Zhu was silent. She lay on the side, her brain almost in a knot.
She felt that since she had transmigrated to this world and become a cat, her brain capacity seemed to have become smaller, which made it much more difficult for her to think.
The main thing was that this relationship of Ji Ling’s was too brain-burning! She had even come up with an incestuous relationship!
“You…” Ji Zhu hesitated, unable to speak for a moment.
Ji Ling glanced at her and brushed the roasted chicken with sauce. “What, you can’t accept it?”
“It’s… not that,” Ji Zhu was a little guilty when she said this. It wasn’t that she couldn’t accept it. After all, she had read this kind of incestuous novel before. As long as she treated Ji Ling and the others as paper people, she could still ship them a little.
But the problem was… she had been living here for so many years, and she could feel the flesh and blood of the people she had come into contact with. They were all people with their own consciousness.
In this situation, she felt that her teeth were not good, and she couldn’t ship them…
“I can tell you’re not firm,” Ji Ling sneered.
Ji Zhu: “…”
She was a little wronged. It wasn’t her fault. After all, this was really beyond the scope.
Ji Ling glanced at her, then glanced at her again. Seeing that this little thing seemed truly troubled, she shook her head, and spiritual energy flowed around her body, and in an instant, her appearance changed.
Ji Zhu stared dumbfounded at her sudden change of face. “You, you, you…”
She couldn’t speak anymore.
“You’re really easy to fool,” Ji Ling slowly turned the roasted chicken. “You believe whatever I say.”
Ji Zhu: “…” She had not expected that on their first meeting, she would deceive a cat!
“So you are not twins, not real sisters, and not related by blood?” Ji Zhu asked cautiously.
“Of course. Do you really think I’m in an incestuous relationship?” Speaking of which, Ji Ling even looked at her with a look of disgust. “What’s in your head? Find a chance to take out your head and wash it. Maybe it can still be used after it’s clean.”
Ji Zhu, who was being blamed in return, was wronged. Wasn’t it because she had turned into Ji Wuhui’s appearance and deliberately made her misunderstand that she had thought wrongly!
“Then what is your relationship?” Ji Zhu asked in a small voice.
“So gossipy at such a young age,” Ji Ling laughed at her, but under her pleading gaze, she still said, “My mother died, her father died, and my father took me and her mother to live together. But they had bad luck and died early. She and I were young and were adopted by two different families.”
If it weren’t for the fact that she had met Ji Wuhui once after cultivating, she would have thought she was dead.
Ji Zhu: “…”
This was so convoluted. But from the looks of it, she and Ji Wuhui had had a rather miserable childhood.
The two of them did not speak anymore. Ji Zhu lay on the ground, occasionally looking up at the roasted chicken, and then at Ji Ling, a little unable to understand why she would turn into Ji Wuhui’s appearance. Could it be that because she couldn’t see Ji Wuhui, she had turned into her appearance to “see the person and think of the person”?
Ji Ling cut the chicken with a dagger and checked it. Seeing that it was cooked, she tore off half of it and placed it on a plate in front of Ji Zhu. “Eat.”
After saying that, she tore off a big thigh and took a big bite without any care.
Ji Zhu looked at the half a chicken in front of her and said with a wronged voice, “I can’t eat it. You have to cut it into small pieces and feed it to me.”
Ji Ling, who was halfway through eating the meat: “???”
Wait, who on earth raised her to be like this, to the point where she has to be fed to her mouth?
So if no one feeds her, she won’t eat?
She was choked by Ji Zhu’s words, but looking at this little thing’s wronged and pleading appearance, she sighed again.
She really owes her.
She quickly finished her half of the chicken, took out the dagger again, and began to slice the meat for her. While slicing, she also complained, “I’ve never even done this for Wuhui.”
Of course, the bigger reason was that Ji Wuhui did not accept her diligence at all.
Ji Zhu looked at the meat she had sliced, sniffled, and did not make a sound. It was not until Ji Ling poked the meat with the tip of her knife and fed it to her mouth that she carefully opened her mouth to eat it. After chewing for a couple of bites, she suddenly started to cry.
“What you made is not as delicious as the enchantress’s…”
The more she ate, the more she wanted to cry. The roasted chicken she was eating was not the same taste as what the enchantress had made at all.
Ji Ling: “???”
She had worked so hard to make it for this little thing, and she was even being despised?
Anger rose in her heart. “Who is the enchantress you’re talking about!”
Since this little thing could freely enter and leave this place, it meant that there was something on her that could allow her to pass unhindered. And the “enchantress” she had mentioned, wasn’t this the term that most people in the world used to refer to the people of the Hehuan Sect? So her master was very likely also from the Hehuan Sect.
Ji Zhu sniffled and said dejectedly, “How long have you been locked up here? Do you know her?”
Ji Ling: “…” The number of times she had been choked by this little thing today was more than in previous years. In the past, besides Ji Wuhui, who would dare to choke her like this? She would have cursed them to death!
“How do you know I don’t know if you don’t say it?” Ji Ling said in annoyance. She wanted to see which bastard had raised this little thing to be like this. What a sight!
“Jiang Bai! The Sect Master’s disciple!” Ji Zhu shouted loudly.
Ji Ling: “…”
Ji Wuhui’s disciple? She only remembered that Ji Wuhui had a disciple named Qiong Yin. As for the other one, she had never seen her, so she naturally didn’t know her name.
“You don’t know her, do you!”
Ji Ling stuffed a mouthful of chicken into her mouth. “Eat. You talk so much.”
“But… it can’t be said that I don’t know her,” Ji Ling said after a moment of hesitation.
“Hmm?” Ji Zhu looked up at her in confusion.
“Once, Wuhui came to find me and said that one of her disciples had a heat poison from the womb and asked me if there was a solution.”
Ji Zhu blinked. She was suddenly brought back to the first time she had seen the enchantress’s heat poison act up. She had been guarding outside the door and seemed to have vaguely heard Su Xin and Xia Ye say that her Master had no solution, so she certainly wouldn’t have one. So these two had really had some interaction?
“But I really have no solution. I only developed an ice spirit pill that can make her feel a little better when it acts up,” Ji Ling shook her head and sighed lightly. Besides that, she could do nothing.
“Oh, she got a Blood-Cleansing Pill. The problem of the heat poison has been solved,” Ji Zhu said.
Ji Ling nodded. “That’s a good thing.”
She fed the meat to Ji Zhu’s mouth. Seeing her carefully biting the meat, she couldn’t help but chuckle softly.
The disciples that Ji Wuhui had taught, one was gentle and looked harmless, and the other was raising such a little thing and spoiling her like this. How come none of the disciples she had taught were like her?
Ji Zhu bit the meat dejectedly. The more she ate, the more she missed the enchantress. But the enchantress didn’t want her anymore. What was the use of her missing her so much?
She had only eaten a little of the half a chicken and couldn’t eat anymore. Ji Ling looked at the leftovers and glared, poking her head and accusing her heartbrokenly. If it weren’t for the fact that she had said she wanted to eat, would she have gone to so much trouble to get these things!
It was one thing for her to despise her for not being as good as others, but she even left some!
“If I were your master, I would have to hang you up and beat you!” Ji Ling gritted her teeth.
Ji Zhu snorted lightly and turned her head to the side. The enchantress would never hit her!
The enchantress was the best to her!
But… there would be no more in the future.
Ji Zhu’s mood sank again, and her heart was sour and uncomfortable.
Ji Ling helplessly extinguished the bonfire and then said, “Why are you still here? Aren’t you going back?”
Ji Zhu’s nose was stuffy and it was hard to breathe. She lay down and refused to answer this question.
Seeing her like this, Ji Ling’s eyes lit up. “It’s good that you’re not leaving. Stay and keep me company.”
Ji Zhu ignored her. She really didn’t want to go back now. As long as she thought of going back and seeing the enchantress and the salty pig trotter standing together, she would be so angry her heart would ache.
And the enchantress hadn’t come after her after she had run away. Just this one action was enough to make Ji Zhu have a big opinion of Jiang Bai.
Why didn’t she look for her? Wasn’t it because she was sure that she would go back even if she was angry? Wasn’t it because she was sure that she couldn’t leave her?
Wasn’t it because she admitted that at that moment, the salty pig trotter was the most important?
The more she thought about it, the angrier she became, and the more she thought about it, the more upset she became. There was also a full sense of powerlessness that made her listless.
She felt that she had already done a lot, but why was the result still like this? Why could she not only not change anything, but even the things that the bastard Xiao Ge had obtained were more?
If she couldn’t change anything, then what was the meaning of everything she had done?
The plot would eventually return to the right track. Ji Wuhui would not ask about worldly affairs, Qiong Yin would always want to go out to train, and the enchantress…
They are all so despairing for a cat!!!
She was greeted by Ji Ling and followed her to a cave. Looking at the simple rack made of wood outside the cave, and the cave, which was almost empty except for a bed, Ji Zhu sniffled.
It was easy to go from frugality to luxury, but difficult to go from luxury to frugality. It was as if she had been thrown from a rich area to a slum, and her heart was so sour.
“Don’t look at how simple my place is now. You have to believe that as long as we work hard together in the future, we can definitely move to a better place!”
“Even the standard of living will definitely rise in a straight line!”
Ji Zhu wanted to cry even more. Not only did this person make her live in such a simple place, but she was also PUA-ing a little cat!
How could she be so heartless!
Ji Ling did not notice her resentful emotions at all. Instead, after bringing the little cat back to her den, she was very happy. She had been alone here for so many years, and it was rare for someone to come and relieve her boredom. How could she possibly let her go?
A barrier that Ji Zhu could not see had already completely cleared and isolated her aura.
