Chapter 53: Little Follower p2
Following the enchantress downstairs to the first-floor hall, there were already many people who had come to eat breakfast. When they saw the two of them appear, their voices became much softer, and they would look over from time to time.
Jiang Bai’s appearance was too outstanding. Anyone who had seen her would probably find it hard to forget, and someone had already recognized who she was.
Now, when everyone thought of Jiang Bai, the image of her searching for a cat all over the world would automatically appear in their minds. And before, they had heard that she was going to the Xiling graveyard. Now, seeing her again, there was a hint of pity in their eyes.
They were all sure that she would not be able to come back after she went in.
As for Ji Zhu, who was by Jiang Bai’s side, although she was not as stunning as the enchantress, she was also very cute and lively. In addition, her outrageous gradient of blue and black hair made her look like a spoiled little miss from a large family.
After so many years with the enchantress, Ji Zhu was already used to the effect of the enchantress having a spotlight on her as soon as she appeared. In addition, her ears were sharp, and she heard them whispering and discussing them. She believed that it wouldn’t be long before the news of the enchantress being here would fly out with wings.
“Aren’t you going to find your cat? Why do you still have the leisure to sit down and drink tea?” Seeing her holding a teacup and sniffing it, Ji Zhu couldn’t help but say.
This enchantress was really a sugar-coated bullet! She pretended to be very concerned about her on the outside, but in reality, she didn’t move at all!
Jiang Bai glanced at her. “You have a lot of questions.”
Ji Zhu was so angry that her face fell, and she didn’t want to bother with her anymore.
She didn’t speak, and Jiang Bai was happy to be at leisure.
And the reason why she had chosen to expose her whereabouts with such a big fanfare was just to let people reveal her route. Maybe that little thing would find her after knowing her route?
A breakfast made Ji Zhu dejected. After eating, the enchantress even wanted to stroll in the city, which made Ji Zhu so angry she gritted her teeth!
Seeing the enchantress walking slowly on the street, and even buying a skewer of candied haws and eating it slowly, not caring at all how much it would ruin her image to eat this kind of snack in public.
The most important thing was that she had only bought one skewer!
Ji Zhu glared at her. What would happen if she had bought one more skewer? Did she just have to watch her eat with wide eyes?
She resentfully turned back and directly bought all the candied haws, using the money that the enchantress had given her before! It made her so angry!
Jiang Bai just raised her eyebrows at her childish action, and in the end, she even said something that choked Ji Zhu.
“If you eat so many sweets, be careful of cavities.”
Ji Zhu: “…”
“It’s none of your business!” She choked back. The enchantress was still so annoying!
Jiang Bai ignored her gunpowder-like attitude. As she swaggered through the city, the news of her being in this city had long been known to everyone. There were even some city lords who came to invite her, wanting her to visit.
But for those who came to flatter and curry favor with her, Jiang Bai was oblivious. Ever since she had injured a mortal on the street, everyone seemed to have suddenly realized that the Hehuan Sect was not an existence that they could insult at will. In the Hehuan Sect, there was no consensus of not harming mortals.
Although there were still some people who held a contemptuous attitude, most people seemed to have suddenly woken up. The people of the Hehuan Sect had not done anything to harm heaven or reason, but were just a little more unrestrained in their actions. Was it worth being so vigorously condemned?
Ji Zhu followed by the enchantress’s side. Looking at the enchantress’s soft and charming smiling face, Ji Zhu on the one hand felt that the enchantress’s face was really beautiful, and on the other hand, she felt that her behavior was really so infuriating for a cat.
“Why are you still following me?” The enchantress seemed to think it was not enough and glanced at her with a very questioning look.
Ji Zhu: “???”
“Why haven’t you left yet?” the enchantress continued.
Ji Zhu: “…”
Jiang Bai sighed lightly and said slowly, “You haven’t fallen in love with me, have you? I advise you not to.”
“???”
Ji Zhu’s head was full of question marks. Wait, why hadn’t she seen the enchantress be so narcissistic before?
“Who fell in love with you! You’re so shameless!” Ji Zhu spat, feeling her ears a little hot. She must have been angered by this enchantress.
“If you haven’t fallen in love with me, then why are you following me so closely?” Jiang Bai lightly bit a bright red candied haw. For a time, she didn’t know if her lip color was redder, or if the sugar coating of the candied haw was redder. Her faintly visible pearly white teeth also had a bit of a hesitant taste.
“It’s none of your business. Anyway, I haven’t fallen in love with you,” Ji Zhu muttered. This enchantress would casually talk about love. She was really shameless!
Did she think that everyone would like her just because she was beautiful?
No! Your temperament is bad, and it won’t work!
Jiang Bai glanced at her and sneered. “It’s best if that’s the case. You should know that I don’t look down on you.”
Ji Zhu: “???”
After a few years, how did this enchantress’s mouth become so venomous! Who was it that was so clingy to a cat and took her everywhere? Who was it that always held her in her arms?
“Is my face not beautiful?” Ji Zhu raised her hand and touched her face, looking at the enchantress with a suspicious gaze. “Is there something wrong with your aesthetic sense?”
With her face, what else was she not satisfied with?
“A little worse than me,” Jiang Bai showed her a light smile.
“Pah! You’re so shameless!” Ji Zhu immediately spat in disdain. This enchantress’s skin was getting thicker and thicker now!
Jiang Bai’s eyes narrowed as she looked at her for a moment. The corners of her lips, which had been holding a light smile, also slowly straightened. Finally, she said with a smile that was not a smile, “You have a lot of personality.”
After saying that, without bothering with Ji Zhu anymore, she walked straight out of the city.
Ji Zhu was puzzled by the enchantress’s words. What did she mean by that? She always felt that the enchantress was not praising her. Seeing that she was about to walk out of her line of sight, Ji Zhu couldn’t be bothered to think too much and quickly chased after her.
“Why are you walking so fast? Weren’t you strolling slowly just now?” Ji Zhu said with dissatisfaction. This enchantress was really so impulsive. She couldn’t grasp her thoughts at all.
As expected of someone born in the royal family!
“It’s none of your business,” Jiang Bai said, learning Ji Zhu’s words.
Ji Zhu was so choked by her that her fur stood on end. The things that the enchantress had done today were simply too numerous to count!
Following the enchantress all the way out of the city, the skewer of candied haws in her hand had only been eaten two after so long. It was clear that the enchantress did not have a big appetite for these things, and she didn’t understand why she had bought them.
“Are you still going to follow me?” Jiang Bai asked.
Without caring about feeling embarrassed, Ji Zhu quickly nodded. If the enchantress didn’t want her to follow, with her speed, she wouldn’t be able to keep up at all.
“Then why haven’t you taken out the boat?” Jiang Bai’s tone was as if she were despising Ji Zhu for being so clueless.
Ji Zhu took a deep breath. As expected, people who were in love were different. They had completely changed from before!
Damn Xiao Ge.
Ji Zhu’s fists were clenched and her teeth were gritted. If it weren’t for the fact that her strength was not good enough, she would have really wanted to chop Xiao Ge up! To make him so annoying!
She took out the spirit boat, and the enchantress took the lead to walk in, her posture as if Ji Zhu were her guard.
Ji Zhu quickly chased after her and said unhappily, “You’re so rude. I’m not your subordinate!”
She was scratching the enchantress’s little person in her heart.
Jiang Bai took out her homemade drink and drank it, and sneered. “Since you want to follow me, then do what a little follower should do.”
“The most important thing is to have the awareness of being a little follower.”
Ji Zhu: “…”
She stared dumbfounded at the enchantress. When had she ever agreed to be her little follower? Didn’t this enchantress even ask the person involved?
She was extremely stifled in her heart, but it was indeed her who wanted to follow her, so she could only stare at her with wide eyes.
This enchantress didn’t even say to invite her to drink something!
She turned her back to the enchantress in a huff. The more she looked at her, the angrier she became. To think she had been so worried about her before, and had even thought of risking it to go into the Xiling graveyard with her to snatch the male lead’s opportunity. But she was so good! She just bullied a cat!
Jiang Bai stared at her back for a long time, then looked up at the mountain forest in the distance, closed her eyes, not knowing what she was thinking.
Not long after, Jiang Bai suddenly took out a pot of drink and handed it to Ji Zhu.
Ji Zhu looked at the thing that had suddenly appeared in front of her: “???”
Although she didn’t understand what the enchantress was doing, she still immediately took it. There was also a cup on the side. Ji Zhu poured a cup out. This drink was even iced!
How did this enchantress know cats so well, and how to grasp a cat’s heart so well!
Ji Zhu instantly didn’t know what anger was. Drinking the cold orange juice, Ji Zhu was so satisfied her eyes were squinted. If it weren’t for the enchantress watching from the side, she would have wanted to let out her ears and shake them.
“Enchan… how long will it take to get to Xiling City?” Ji Zhu really hated her mouth sometimes. Why did she always subconsciously blurt out the words “enchantress”!
“A month, I guess,” Jiang Bai took out a bed herself, and her body directly leaned back and lay on the bed slowly.
“Huh?” Ji Zhu’s eyes widened. “Is it that far?”
“Maybe even more than a month,” Jiang Bai added.
Ji Zhu looked at the spirit boat that Guan Xiuwen had given her, and she was a little glad in her heart. Fortunately, she had accepted it back then. Otherwise, she would have to spend a month on a sword now. How tired would that be!
But she hadn’t wanted to ask this question at the beginning. She looked at the enchantress and asked with feigned curiosity, “Why did your little cat run away from home? For what reason?”
Jiang Bai, who had already closed her eyes, suddenly opened her eyes when she heard her question. Her gaze shot straight at Ji Zhu, and her gaze was a little cold.
“You’re very curious?”
Ji Zhu nodded repeatedly. She wanted to see if the enchantress knew the real reason for her leaving. If she didn’t know at all, Ji Zhu felt that she would really vomit blood from anger.
She had been so angry that she had run away from home, yet the enchantress still didn’t know the reason. What was the point of her anger?
“Why should I tell you?” Jiang Bai glanced at her sideways and said with disdain.
Ji Zhu: “???”
This enchantress’s ability to anger a cat was increasing day by day!
“What’s wrong with telling me? I swear, if you tell me, I definitely won’t tell anyone!” Ji Zhu raised three fingers and said.
“Heh,” Jiang Bai sneered. “Why should I believe you? If you want to know so much, then go and find that little thing and ask her why she ran away.”
Ji Zhu was so choked by her words that she was speechless. She was the little thing she was talking about. Of course she knew very well why she had run away. But she didn’t know what the enchantress was thinking!
She took a deep breath and decided not to talk so much with the enchantress anymore. Now, every time she talked with the enchantress, she would be blocked back and angered to death in the end.
Drinking the orange juice that the enchantress had made, Ji Zhu came to the edge of the deck, rested her upper body on the railing, and looked at the scenery outside. She felt that the scenery of this cultivation world was much better than her original world. Many places had maintained their original ecology and looked particularly beautiful!
In the past, when she had lived in the city in that world, there were tall buildings everywhere, and the reinforced concrete was extremely cold. There were also those factories that directly discharged wastewater into the river and polluted the water source, and the air quality was not good. In fact, Ji Zhu was not very happy living there.
That kind of environment was too oppressive for her. She still liked the environment here. The air even smelled particularly fresh.
It was just… the danger had greatly increased.
Ji Zhu complained in her heart. She clearly had cultivation, but why was she so bad at fighting!
The result of being a good baby was that after coming to this world, she was suppressed and beaten…
The spirit boat did not fly for long. In the next city, the enchantress asked to stop again. Ji Zhu then watched the enchantress go in and swagger through the city. There were even many families who brought their daughters to see Jiang Bai, wanting her to take their children to the Hehuan Sect to cultivate.
Every time Ji Zhu saw this situation, she was at a loss for words. At first, she had thought that the enchantress would be impatient when dealing with such matters, but who knew that she would actually stop to test whether they had the talent for cultivation.
Ji Zhu was puzzled by this. After all, the enchantress didn’t look like such a kind person.
“Since they are willing to bring their children to me, it shows that they really want to seek a better future for their children,” Jiang Bai explained softly.
Since they could ignore the prejudice of others towards the Hehuan Sect and want to send their children in, why couldn’t they be given a chance?
The reason why the Hehuan Sect had always only accepted female disciples was also because it was difficult for women to live in this world. The original intention of the founder of the Hehuan Sect was also to give the women of the world an extra point of protection.
Hearing the enchantress’s explanation, Ji Zhu nodded as if she understood. So they were willing to give women a little more opportunity, a little more help, just to be able to have one more woman escape the shackles of the mortal world.
“Sister, I have high hopes for you!” Ji Zhu gave her an appreciative look.
“What do you have high hopes for me for? I’m not someone who is willing to give everyone a chance,” Jiang Bai snorted lightly, not wanting her to think that she was a good person. She also didn’t want to be a do-gooder.
“If I help someone, and this person dares to betray me in the future, I will definitely be the first to cut off her head!”
“???”
“!!!”
Ji Zhu suddenly felt a chill on her neck.
I shouldn’t be included, right?
