Chapter 55: Drunk
Ji Zhu, who had said that her alcohol tolerance was very good, drank without any pause. Drinking wine and eating meat, her eyes were slightly squinted, looking like a likable lucky cat.
Jiang Bai looked up at her, a little dazed as she thought about what the little cat would look like if she could shapeshift.
With that little cat’s stinky and proud temperament, she would definitely be very beautiful after shapeshifting.
She sighed lightly in her heart. Without a Shapeshifting Pill, if the little cat wanted to shapeshift, she would have to cultivate to the Soul Transformation stage. But when she had left, she had not even reached the Golden Core stage. She didn’t know how much time it would take to reach the Soul Transformation stage.
“Bad woman, what are you looking at me for?” Ji Zhu looked at the enchantress, her words already a little slurred.
Bad woman…
Jiang Bai’s gaze condensed, and she said without changing her expression, “Why do you call me a bad woman?”
“You are very bad! And you are a woman. Isn’t it right to call you a bad woman!” Ji Zhu lifted her chin and said righteously.
Jiang Bai: “…When have I been bad to you?”
“You are just bad! You always have to choke me with your words! And you walk so fast that I have to run behind you!” Ji Zhu said with righteous indignation, waving a hand and gesturing, her small face full of a resentful expression.
Although she looked very angry, she had no deterrent power at all.
Jiang Bai looked at her and said in a light voice, “Are you really not the little cat?”
Her little cat was also like this. When she was angry, she would make people feel that she was cute, especially her righteous and confident manner, which made people both angry and soft-hearted.
After that little thing had gotten a hold of her, she had started to be particularly arrogant. The word “spoiled” had a concrete manifestation in her.
Ji Zhu, who had already been a little tipsy, was suddenly sobered for a moment by her sudden words. But she didn’t dare to show it too obviously, so she could only look at her with a pair of innocent eyes, blinking and saying, “Do you want me to be your little cat?”
After saying that, she even shyly and awkwardly said, “It’s not impossible, but I’m a person with a strong sense of jealousy. I don’t accept you being good to anyone other than me.”
She gave herself a thumbs up in her heart. Her ability to lie was really first-class!
Jiang Bai was silent. She silently looked at Ji Zhu’s sparkling eyes, and finally, she rubbed her own head and said with disgust, “You still want to be my little cat? Why don’t you take a mirror and look at yourself?”
Her little cat was fluffy all over. Holding her in her arms was like holding a warm and soft cloud. Jiang Bai liked this touch very much, and she also liked the way the little cat leaned against her arms. She also very much liked the various little expressions that could not be hidden on her furry face.
Her liveliness and vitality, but she had actually lost her.
Ji Zhu: “???”
She stared at the enchantress with wide eyes. Wasn’t this sentence just despising her for being ugly? This enchantress’s aesthetic sense really had a problem!
No wonder she would fall for that salty pig trotter, Xiao Ge. So it was a love for the ugly!
Jiang Bai still didn’t know what Ji Zhu was thinking about her in her heart. After she had finished a pot of wine, she poured another pot for herself. Seeing the person opposite her angrily biting the meat, it was as if she were biting the person who had angered her.
Jiang Bai was still very self-aware and was very clear that the person she wanted to bite was definitely her.
Were all demons like them? When they were angry, they either wanted to bite people or scratch people.
Her right hand gently stroked the back of her left hand. Jiang Bai seemed to still be able to feel the burning pain of being scratched.
In fact, when the little cat had scratched her, she should have thought that the little cat’s anger this time was very different from before. But she just hadn’t realized it and had only thought that the little cat’s courage had grown a lot.
The two of them were silent and did not speak again. Ji Zhu drank more and more wine, almost catching up to the enchantress. But as the alcohol gradually went to her head, she always felt that there seemed to be three enchantresses sitting opposite her.
One moment there were three, and the next there was one. The more she blinked, the more she saw.
Ji Zhu was bewildered and said in a daze, “Enchantress, why are you suddenly splitting yourself? Are you practicing some skill?”
The Jiang Bai opposite her: “???”
She had called her a bad woman before, and now she was calling her an enchantress. What on earth was this person calling her in her heart? To think she had called her sister so sweetly at the beginning!
And splitting herself…
“You’re not drunk, are you?” Jiang Bai rubbed her head with a headache. Didn’t this person say that her alcohol tolerance was very good? She hadn’t even left the table, and the alcohol had already gone to her head. How could she say her alcohol tolerance was good?
“Drunk? What’s drunk?” Ji Zhu tilted her head, and after she reacted, she immediately said firmly, “You’re the one who’s drunk! I’m fine!”
Jiang Bai: “…”
“You still haven’t told me if you’re practicing some skill. I want to learn too!”
Splitting herself! So amazing!
As long as Ji Zhu thought of being able to create several clones of herself, she would chuckle happily. Although she couldn’t fight, if she learned this skill of splitting herself, couldn’t three cobblers be a Zhuge Liang!
Even if they couldn’t, a human sea tactic could also crush others!
Jiang Bai looked at the silly smile on her face, not knowing what she was thinking to be smiling like this.
Jiang Bai looked at her with a bit of disgust. How come there wasn’t a single normal person in the Medicine King Valley, from top to bottom?
“If you’re drunk, you’re drunk. Why are you being so stubborn?” Sighing lightly, Jiang Bai was a little tired. She always had a feeling of taking care of a child.
“You’re the one who’s stubborn!” Ji Zhu said resentfully. “If you don’t want to teach me, just say so. Why are you slandering me?”
“As expected of a bad person!”
Jiang Bai: “???”
So it was her fault instead?
She took a deep breath and felt that she was also sick. Why was she talking so much with a drunkard? She clearly knew that drunkards usually couldn’t listen at a time like this.
“Alright, I’ll teach you. But first, you need to rest. I’ll teach you tomorrow when you wake up,” Jiang Bai could only follow her words. When she woke up tomorrow, if she still remembered what had happened tonight, let’s see if she would dare to come and ask her to teach her again.
Ji Zhu tilted her head, and her mind was surprisingly clear at a time like this.
“You’re lying to me, aren’t you! We are all cultivators. We don’t need to sleep!”
“If you don’t need to sleep, why do you sleep so much every day?” Jiang Bai immediately retorted. This person was also like the little cat, getting sleepy after being full. Or did all demonic beasts have this habit?
“I, I’m just conserving my energy…”
Ji Zhu’s voice suddenly became low, as if she were lacking in confidence.
Jiang Bai just sneered and took a sip of wine, noncommittal about her words.
Ji Zhu tried hard to shake her heavy head, and then she said with great interest, “Look, the atmosphere is so good now! Let’s have a heart-to-heart talk!”
The spirit boat was moving at a steady speed. A round moon was high in the sky, and the bright and clear moonlight shone down. There was also a gentle evening breeze blowing. With wine and meat, it was the most suitable time for a heart-to-heart talk!
Jiang Bai didn’t know how many times she had sighed in her heart. She looked at Ji Zhu, who was so excited that she could barely control her limbs, and said, “Why should I have a heart-to-heart talk with you?”
They had only known each other for a few days. Did this person want to know something deeper?
Ji Zhu pouted and said with a wronged voice, “You don’t want to have a heart-to-heart talk with me?”
This enchantress was caring less and less about her!
She was wronged instead.
Jiang Bai didn’t want to argue with a drunkard. She wanted to let her go back to the cabin to rest, but who knew that her figure was so agile that she dodged her outstretched hand. Then, she stood on the side with her hands on her hips, her chin held high as she said, “I! Ji Zhu! Have five hundred years to live!”
Jiang Bai: “…”
She turned her head to look outside the spirit boat, wondering about the possibility of her jumping down and leaving now.
“I can live for a long, long time!” Ji Zhu said proudly.
She had originally only had a lifespan of ten years!
Jiang Bai looked at her with a blank expression, just wanting to see what other trouble she could cause.
“But you, enchantress, can still live for a long time,” Ji Zhu’s tone suddenly became low. Even if she could live to be five hundred, if she didn’t continue to break through, the enchantress’s one thousand years would be five hundred years more than her. Moreover, the enchantress’s talent was so good, and her future achievements would definitely be even higher!
After all, in the ending of the novel, the enchantress’s cultivation had reached the Mahayana stage.
Jiang Bai’s eyes did not waver. She didn’t understand what there was to compare. And to be taken in as a disciple by the Medicine King Valley showed that Ji Zhu’s talent would definitely not be bad.
“Bad woman, why are you so bad?”
As she spoke, Ji Zhu started to cry, and large drops of tears rolled down her face. Her whole face was wronged and sad, like a destitute little cat abandoned by her master.
Why did she have to fall for Xiao Ge? What was so good about him? Although he was the male lead, it wasn’t that she couldn’t help her snatch the male lead’s opportunities.
If she snatched all his opportunities, why would she have to go to the trouble of dual cultivation? Her cultivation would definitely grow faster than with dual cultivation!
Wuwuwu, she just didn’t want the enchantress to be with Xiao Ge. She just wanted the enchantress to be hers alone…
The more Ji Zhu cried, the sadder she became, and her nose was stuffy, which made her voice sound muffled.
Jiang Bai listened to her accusing words and began to reflect on whether what she had done during this period was really that excessive. Or was this person’s actual age actually still too young, and she really couldn’t be teased like a little child?
Jiang Bai said softly, “Alright, stop crying. At worst, I won’t tease you in the future.”
She had bullied her to tears.
Ji Zhu sniffled. “You’re lying!”
The enchantress’s words couldn’t be trusted! This person had also promised her many times in the past, but how much of it had she done?
Jiang Bai didn’t understand. Was her credibility in her heart so low? She hadn’t done anything too excessive, had she?
Too lazy to argue with her anymore, Jiang Bai directly chopped the back of Ji Zhu’s neck with a hand and knocked her out, so that she wouldn’t be crying and cursing her there.
She had cursed her so many times, and she hadn’t even said anything.
Ji Zhu, who was halfway through crying, suddenly fainted, and she had no consciousness at all.
**
Jiang Bai cast a cleansing spell on Ji Zhu, but the smell of alcohol on her was still very strong. Jiang Bai shook her head. She clearly couldn’t drink, yet she had to be so stubborn.
She took Ji Zhu into the cabin and placed her on the bed. Looking at her sleeping soundly with her eyes closed, Jiang Bai was a little dazed.
She tentatively lifted a wisp of Ji Zhu’s hair, and her fingers gently rubbed it. Everything was so natural, as if she had been born with this hair color.
Jiang Bai’s face slowly faded. She put down Ji Zhu’s hair, rubbed her temples with some fatigue, stood up, and walked to the deck.
Looking at the mess on the table, Jiang Bai waved her hand to tidy it up, and then she looked up at the round moon high in the sky.
She didn’t know how that little thing was doing now. Such a delicate cat, how could she just run away?
**
Ji Zhu was also drinking in her dream, one cup after another. Her heart was getting more and more upset, and she felt as if she were soaked in bitter gourd water, so bitter that it was astringent.
She was so unlucky. Why was she so upset? What did it have to do with her who the enchantress was with? But she just felt that her heart was being squeezed so painfully.
When Ji Zhu woke up again, she was lying on the bed with the quilt all wrapped around her. She could still smell the alcohol in her nose, and her dazed, frozen brain couldn’t process the situation for a moment.
She blinked her eyes, yawned a little, and some tears appeared at the corners of her eyes. She rolled twice to loosen the quilt that was wrapped around her, stood up, and sat on the side of the bed, rubbing her still sore back of the head, trying hard to recall what had happened last night.
She clearly remembered that she was still drinking. How did she wake up lying on the bed? And why did her head hurt so much?
Ji Zhu stood up, completely baffled. She walked out of the cabin and saw the enchantress leaning against the railing, enjoying the breeze. She asked in confusion, “Did you send me to bed last night?”
Jiang Bai looked over when she heard her voice. Seeing her rubbing her head from time to time, she coughed lightly. “You don’t remember what happened last night?”
“Huh? Did something happen last night?” Ji Zhu was startled, and her heart slowly rose. She hadn’t said anything wrong, had she?
Seeing that she really didn’t remember, Jiang Bai looked at her with an indescribable expression.
Faced with her complicated gaze, Ji Zhu was even more flustered. “I didn’t say anything wrong, did I?”
She hadn’t expected that this body’s alcohol tolerance would be so bad. She had even blacked out!
She hadn’t exposed her identity, had she? If she had, the enchantress would not have had this reaction.
Seeing her apprehensive expression, a trace of mischief flashed in Jiang Bai’s eyes, and she said slowly, “You didn’t say anything, just that you wanted to be my little cat, and that you would listen to me completely.”
Ji Zhu: “???”
Do you want to listen to what you’re saying?
“You’re talking nonsense!” Ji Zhu immediately retorted, her face flushed red. “I would never say such a thing! You’re slandering me!”
This enchantress’s mouth had no truth in it. She must not believe her one-sided story!
Ji Zhu looked at the enchantress warily. “I won’t believe you. Don’t you try to trick me!”
She was already the enchantress’s little cat. Did she still have to say that she wanted to be her little cat? And she would listen to her completely. This was impossible!
It would be more like it if the enchantress listened to her completely!
The wary little gaze, without even a trace of doubt, was so sure that she was lying. Jiang Bai sighed helplessly. “Why don’t you believe it? You don’t even remember what you did, and when others tell you, you doubt it instead.”
“Shouldn’t I doubt it? You’re a bad woman who’s full of lies!” Ji Zhu said resentfully. Did this enchantress have no concept of how many times she had tricked her?
“Running a train? What does that mean?” Jiang Bai was slightly stunned. This was the first time she had heard this word.
Seeing her slightly confused face, only then did Ji Zhu realize that this word did not exist in this world, so she had to explain, “It means you’re full of lies!”
Jiang Bai: “…” She shouldn’t have asked.
She glanced at her sideways. “Believe it or not.”
“Of course I won’t believe it!” Ji Zhu shouted back loudly.
Jiang Bai was choked. She didn’t understand why she was so hard to fool.
She put the matter of last night aside. Ji Zhu ate the breakfast that the enchantress had made and would occasionally glance at her with the corner of her eye.
“What are you looking at me for?” Jiang Bai said faintly.
“I feel that you don’t really want to find that cat of yours,” Ji Zhu said.
If she really wanted to find her, why would she be so calm, with a leisurely appearance, and even cook for herself three meals a day? No matter how one looked at it, she looked like she was fine.
Jiang Bai glanced at her. “You know again?”
She found that this person in front of her had a problem. She would always think of some things in her mind, and then she would be convinced of these things she had thought of.
“I just know,” Ji Zhu said dejectedly. She had not seen the anxious appearance of those people whose cats had gone missing.
Jiang Bai did not reply to her. She looked up at the distance, and a trace of worry appeared in her eyes.
She had already spread the news that she was going into the Xiling graveyard with great fanfare. Along the way, she had also been swaggering through the city. Logically, if the little cat really wanted to find her, she should not have been unable to find her trace.
But after so long, the little cat’s figure had still not appeared.
Ji Zhu looked up at her, not understanding why her mood had suddenly dropped. She wanted to say something to ease the atmosphere, but she didn’t know what to say. In the end, she pursed her lips and decided to shut up.
The enchantress was in a bad mood. If she said the wrong thing and angered her away, she wouldn’t be able to catch up.
Speaking of which, she was so angry. In the past, it was she who had been angered away by her, but now she had to worry about the enchantress being angered away by her. It was so stifling that she was about to die!
Ji Zhu was also unhappy in her heart.
One was in a low mood, and the other was sulking. It was surprisingly harmonious.
The two of them drove the spirit boat. Naturally, there were still some bold people who wanted to kill people for treasures. But every time this happened, this enchantress had something very excessive!
For example, this time, looking at the three men who were blocking the spirit boat, she didn’t know how out of touch their news was. They didn’t even know that there was the Young Sect Master of the Hehuan Sect in this spirit boat. To come and seek their own death like this, Ji Zhu had seen several groups in the past few days.
The three of them were all at the Golden Core stage. Logically, as long as Ji Zhu stayed in the spirit boat, with the protection of the protective shield, no one would be able to harm her.
However, the protective shield protected against people outside, not people inside.
Once again being thrown off the spirit boat by the enchantress, Ji Zhu cursed in her heart, so angry that her fur stood on end!
Didn’t this enchantress consider her own safety!
The three of them’s eyes lit up when they saw Ji Zhu come out. They rushed at her with their weapons in hand. Ji Zhu let out a cry, took out a sword, and quickly flew on it, wanting to run.
She couldn’t even beat one of them, let alone three!
Jiang Bai, who was standing on the spirit boat, looked at Ji Zhu, who was fleeing everywhere, her face slightly stiff. Why hadn’t this person made any progress after so long?
With her like this, did Duanmu Ran really let her out alone? How big was her heart?
“Stop. Turn back and attack them!” Seeing Ji Zhu being beaten up and down in the air, Jiang Bai couldn’t stand it and shouted coldly.
Hearing her voice, Ji Zhu was on the verge of tears. She quickly dodged the fireballs and sharp knives that the people behind her were attacking with, and shouted back loudly, “Why don’t you attack!”
She was already having a hard time just dodging!
Jiang Bai had a terrible headache when she saw this situation. She thought for a moment and waved her hand to block two of them, leaving the weakest one for Ji Zhu to deal with.
“Try to attack him. Quickly!” Jiang Bai shouted coldly.
Ji Zhu was about to cry. How could this enchantress be like this? She was already having a hard time dodging, and from time to time, she was almost caught.
“If you don’t attack him, I’ll attack you,” Jiang Bai said coldly.
Ji Zhu: “???”
Her words made Ji Zhu shiver. She was very clear about what kind of person the enchantress was. Since she had already said so, she would definitely do it!
She gritted her teeth, took out the longsword that Ji Ling had given her, and suddenly turned to stab at the man!
“Hahaha, is this your attack?” Even though his other two companions had been held back by that woman, the man was not worried at all. Instead, he looked at Ji Zhu with great interest, wanting to see what other tricks she could play.
The sword she had stabbed out was easily dodged by the person. A trace of grief and indignation flashed in Ji Zhu’s eyes.
Why was she so pathetic when she was dodging, but the other person could do it so easily!
Ji Zhu resentfully took her longsword and hacked and stabbed in all kinds of ways, but she didn’t even touch the corner of the person’s clothes, which gave Ji Zhu a strong sense of frustration.
“Ahhh, you die!”
Ji Zhu shouted, and at the same time, she attacked without any method. But that person was playing with her like a cat playing with a mouse, which made Ji Zhu so angry her lungs were about to explode.
Jiang Bai, who was paying attention to the battle on this side, on the other side: “…”
How on earth did Duanmu Ran teach her disciple? To have taught such a one?
No method at all! There was no trace of her having been trained! A three-year-old child with a knife would be more intimidating than her!
“Third Brother! Stop playing! Finish it quickly and come and help us!”
The other two looked at the man, who still had the mood to play with people, and were almost angered to death by him. Didn’t he see at all that he was being suppressed by that woman?
The man who was called Third Brother looked back, and his originally teasing face became much more serious. He formed a hand seal and condensed a sky full of fireballs out of thin air, and sneered. “I don’t have time to play with you anymore. It’s over!”
Seeing this posture, Ji Zhu subconsciously wanted to turn and run. But thinking of the enchantress who was watching from a distance, Ji Zhu still gritted her teeth and mobilized the spiritual energy in her body. She held her longsword vertically in front of her. As the longsword quickly rotated in her palm, a huge red barrier appeared out of thin air to block the person’s attack.
When the fireballs and the barrier collided, they made a series of “bang” sounds, and Ji Zhu’s barrier also made a series of cracking sounds. As the man quickly approached and slashed at the barrier with a knife, a huge shattering sound directly shattered the barrier into countless pieces. But the momentum of the knife did not decrease, and it went straight for Ji Zhu!
A trace of excitement flashed in the man’s eyes. He just liked to see people being dismembered in front of him!
This slash was too fast, and Ji Zhu couldn’t dodge it at all. She immediately closed her eyes. If I die, I die!
“Ah!”
Before Ji Zhu could do anything, the man was the first to let out a miserable cry.
Ji Zhu’s heart trembled. Not understanding what had happened, she quietly opened one eye. She saw the man who had been attacking her with great momentum, now holding his severed arm, rolling on the ground in pain.
Ji Zhu: “???”
She immediately realized that it was the enchantress who had attacked. She saw the enchantress’s face was icy as she dealt with the other two people, and she came to Ji Zhu’s side at an extremely fast speed and quickly attacked!
“Ugh!”
Ji Zhu raised her hand to cover her head, which had been knocked by the enchantress, and tears even came out from the pain.
Her grievance value instantly exploded.
The enchantress had actually hit her!
