The Hehuan Sect Enchantress’s Short-Lived Spirit Pet 63p2

Chapter 63: Hold Me Tight p2

Perhaps because she had received the pill that Ji Zhu had given her, the landlady’s mood was very good, and even her movements were surprisingly fast. In less than a quarter of an hour, the landlady had brought a carpenter over to measure the size. After the size was measured, the carpenter would go back to polish and make the main door, and then he would bring it over to install it.

Ji Zhu looked at this series of operations and rummaged through her own space. She only had spirit stones in her space, and no silver that ordinary people used. So she just took out a spirit stone and handed it to the landlady.

“Auntie, this is compensation for the damaged main door, and also the money for the new main door. I don’t have any silver. Can you take this and exchange it yourself?”

Even a low-grade spirit stone was enough to install ten doors, let alone the high-grade spirit stone that Ji Zhu had given.

There was nothing she could do. The spirit stones in her space were all high-grade spirit stones, and the enchantress had never given her mid- or low-grade spirit stones.

“I can’t accept this, I can’t accept this,” the landlady quickly refused. She glanced at the carpenter and then said to Ji Zhu in a low voice, “The thing you gave me earlier is enough. Auntie won’t ask you to pay for the rest!”

“It’s fine. We should be responsible for what we broke,” Ji Zhu placed the spirit stone on the landlady’s hand. Anyway, she had a lot of money now! She wasn’t lacking in this little bit!

“Oh, you, alright, alright. Auntie will accept it,” the landlady was both embarrassed and happy. After all, this one high-grade spirit stone was enough for her family’s expenses for a year.

“From now on, you can stay in the house as you please. Auntie won’t charge you!”

“Mm, alright. Thank you, auntie~” Ji Zhu replied obediently.

“Oh my, so lovable.”

Ji Zhu blinked lightly, chuckled, and turned to continue with her own things.

Not long after, the landlady and the carpenter and the others had all left. Ji Zhu cast a spell in the direction of the main door, which could block the gazes of the people outside and prevent them from seeing what was going on in the courtyard.

After tidying up the courtyard, Ji Zhu began her alchemy career again, thinking that after she had finished refining her pills, she would wait for at most three more days. If the enchantress still decided not to move after three days, she would have to find a way to lure the enchantress into the graveyard.

It was obvious that Xiao Ge and the others had already set their sights on the graveyard. Even without Jiang Bai, they would have to go in one day. The opportunity in there absolutely could not fall into Xiao Ge’s hands.

Ji Zhu still remembered such a big plot. In the novel, when Xiao Ge had entered the Xiling graveyard, he was also at the Nascent Soul stage. But when he had come out of the graveyard, he had directly reached the peak of the Soul Transformation stage, becoming the undisputed number one of the younger generation of the cultivation world.

The plot of this world was progressing much faster than in the novel. According to the fact that she had done so much, and that Xiao Ge’s strength had broken through even faster than in the novel, it was hard to say that his opportunity this time would not let him completely surpass the enchantress!

No, her bad woman was the undisputed number one. He should die as far away as possible!

There were too many pills that needed to be refined. Ji Zhu worked tirelessly until it was dark, and she had only just refined half of them. Seeing the enchantress come out of her room, she put away her things, planning to refine the remaining half tomorrow.

“What do you want to eat?” Perhaps because she had fought with Xiao Ge and the others earlier, the enchantress’s depressed mood had been vented a lot. At this moment, her mood seemed to be very good, and she was even willing to ask for Ji Zhu’s opinion.

Looking at the smile on the enchantress’s lips, Ji Zhu blinked and said, “Can I drink wine?”

Hearing this, Jiang Bai: “…”

This person really had no idea of her own alcohol tolerance.

Looking at the enchantress’s silent appearance, Ji Zhu’s eyes and brows drooped slightly, and she looked at her with a wronged expression. “Didn’t you ask me what I wanted to eat? Now you don’t agree. Why did you even ask me in the first place?”

Jiang Bai was silent again. Why did her words sound so strange?

However, how would she know that Ji Zhu had been with Ji Ling for five years, and she had naturally learned a bit of this kind of green tea-like words!

“If you drink, can you still refine pills tomorrow?” She had noticed earlier that Ji Zhu should still have many pills that she had not finished refining.

Seeing the actual situation, she had to sigh at Ji Zhu’s high alchemy talent. To be able to refine pills so tirelessly in such a short period of time, as if she didn’t have to worry about her spiritual power being exhausted at all.

“Of course I can!” Ji Zhu lifted her chin and said arrogantly, “I won’t drink too much. I’ll definitely be very clear-headed when I wake up tomorrow!”

The last time she had gotten drunk was definitely because it was the first time she had drunk this kind of wine. Now that she was doing it again, she was confident and wouldn’t be like that!

However, Jiang Bai had already learned to only believe half of her words. But since she had already said so, Jiang Bai had no reason to stop her. She took out the wine, and saw Ji Zhu take out the braised beef that she had prepared earlier and had not finished eating as a side dish.

Jiang Bai: “…”

She felt that this person had a great potential to be a drunkard.

She, who would occasionally drink a little, was not as well-equipped as Ji Zhu.

Looking at the wine, Ji Zhu’s eyes were sparkling. Ever since she had drunk it, she had been craving that flavor, but the enchantress was very stingy! She had wanted to ask the enchantress for some to put in her own space, but she was not willing to give any at all!

Not only was she unwilling to give it, but she had even lectured her, which really made her feel that Jiang Bai had a great potential to be a dean of students!

At this moment, the sky was slowly darkening. A crescent moon was hanging high in the sky, and the surroundings were quiet. To drink in this kind of environment, for Ji Zhu, there was a kind of “pretentious” feeling that she liked.

Ji Zhu couldn’t help but squint her eyes and chuckle. She very proactively and attentively helped the enchantress pour the wine. “I will definitely be elegant and polite when I drink this time!”

Jiang Bai looked at her with a suspicious look, not understanding why this person was suddenly so attentive. She always felt that her attentiveness was definitely not for any good reason.

Ji Zhu also poured a cup of wine for herself. After taking two small sips, she squinted her eyes and savored it. The enchantress’s wine was indeed delicious!

But…

Her purpose for drinking was naturally not just for this. She also mainly wanted to use a little alcohol to build up her courage.

Now that the enchantress didn’t know her identity, she naturally had to make good use of this point!

“That cat of yours, what is she like?” After finishing a cup of wine, Ji Zhu asked shyly.

In fact, she really wanted to know what she was like in the enchantress’s heart.

Jiang Bai looked at her with a questioning look. “What my cat is like, haven’t you already seen it?”

“Huh?” Ji Zhu was bewildered. She then realized that she was probably talking about the missing cat notices that were all over the streets and alleys, and she was a little speechless. “I’m not talking about her appearance! I’m talking about her temperament!”

“Oh.”

Oh?

And then what?

This enchantress was really going to drive a cat crazy.

“You, what is your little cat’s personality?” Ji Zhu bit her lip and continued to ask. She wanted to get some answers today.

Jiang Bai glanced at her. “You want to know so much?”

Ji Zhu nodded repeatedly!

“She talks as much as you,” Jiang Bai said faintly.

Ji Zhu’s expression froze. Was this the enchantress’s impression of her?

“Naughty, delicate, and willful,” Jiang Bai suddenly continued. Just as Ji Zhu was listening and her face was slightly drooping, her tone suddenly changed, and the corners of her lips curled up slightly. “But more than that, she’s cute and warm-hearted.”

As long as that little one was there, she only felt that her heart was warm and full of anticipation every second. In the past, she would have resisted things that would make her have a weakness, but since the little cat had appeared, she had been willing to accept this weakness.

Ji Zhu, who had originally been a little puffed up, was instantly like a popped balloon and deflated when she heard the enchantress’s later words.

So in the enchantress’s heart, she was also very cute and warm-hearted~

She had thought that she didn’t have much of a good impression in the enchantress’s heart.

With this thought, her heart was very happy. But in the next second, a trace of bitterness was suddenly mixed in with the sweetness.

The reason why the enchantress was like this was naturally because she treated her as her pet.

“Then… when you find her, what will you do?” Ji Zhu asked with some apprehension, wanting to test Jiang Bai’s attitude in advance.

“What will I do?” Jiang Bai suddenly became a little silent. She picked up her wine cup and took a sip, her gaze sinking, and a cold smile appeared on her lips. “Of course, I’ll give her a complete childhood! To dare to run away from home at such a young age. When her wings are hard in the future, who knows what she’ll be able to do!”

When she said this, there was a bit of a gritted-teeth meaning, as if after she found the little cat, she would really do as she had said and give her a good beating to teach her a lesson!

“!!!”

Ji Zhu was instantly startled. She was immediately glad that she had not been so quick to confess to the enchantress earlier. Otherwise, she might have been beaten to the point of not being able to get out of bed now!

She quickly drank a mouthful of wine to calm her nerves. Ji Zhu clutched her little vest, shivering and not daring to take it off.

The enchantress was a person who did what she said. If she said she would teach her a lesson, she would definitely do it!

Seeing her hit those people, it was super painful!

Jiang Bai drank another mouthful of wine and looked up at the bright moon in the night sky. She curled her lips, and a bitter taste spread from the tip of her tongue.

That little thing was really born to torture her.

To be completely controlled by her, even if she had so willfully abandoned her and run away, she couldn’t bring herself to ignore her.

She really had no way to deal with her…

That little thing’s temper was so big. If she had come back with great difficulty, how could she really dare to hit her?

She couldn’t hit her, and she was afraid that if she said something that was not to her liking, she would run away again.

She sighed lightly in her heart, and Jiang Bai had a bit of a feeling of resigning herself to her fate.

Now, as long as the little cat was willing to come back, she would definitely not say a single word of blame.

She glanced in the direction of the door, and Jiang Bai’s eyes and brows drooped slightly, and the frustration in her chest grew again.

It had been so long. Couldn’t that little thing’s speed be a little faster!

It couldn’t be that she had run over with those four little short legs, right?

Ji Zhu drank a cup of wine and felt that her whole person had relaxed. She looked at the enchantress’s face under the moonlight and chuckled. “You’re so beautiful!”

Although there were many beauties in this cultivation world, Ji Zhu had never seen anyone more beautiful than the enchantress!

Hearing her suddenly praise her for being beautiful, Jiang Bai glanced at her sideways and sneered. “I’m beautiful? Who was it that called someone beautiful big sister on the street? Isn’t she beautiful?”

This person was also shameless. She would call anyone who was beautiful sister.

And yet… the other party was quite pleased.

Thinking of this, her gaze condensed, and she looked at Ji Zhu deeply. Finally, she raised her cup and used her hand to hide the expression on her face.

This Ji Zhu also gave her a very strange feeling…

“She’s also beautiful, but you’re also beautiful! Your beauties don’t conflict!” Ji Zhu said righteously.

Who said that there could only be one beautiful person in the world!

Jiang Bai glanced at her. “Then you should be careful in the future. Don’t be deceived by a beautiful big sister.”

“I won’t! Why would a beautiful big sister deceive me!” Ji Zhu retorted. She was so beautiful. How could she deceive people!

Jiang Bai rolled her eyes ungracefully. This person would definitely be deceived to the point of squatting on the roadside and crying in the future.

“You should drink less. I won’t care about you if you get drunk,” seeing her drinking non-stop, Jiang Bai couldn’t help but frown.

Could it be that this person had something hidden in her heart?

“I won’t get drunk! Even if I get drunk, I won’t trouble you~” Ji Zhu chuckled at her.

Jiang Bai: “…”

She had a feeling that the person in front of her might already be drunk.

Jiang Bai did not stop her anymore. As she drank another pot of wine, she suddenly asked, “Why are you always following me?”

“Hmm?”

Ji Zhu lifted her head in a daze, stared at her face for a long time, and suddenly chuckled at Jiang Bai, saying firmly, “You’re beautiful!”

Jiang Bai: “…?” Just because of this?

“You’re also very amazing!” Ji Zhu continued.

Jiang Bai: “…”

She drank a mouthful of wine dejectedly, her gaze occasionally falling on her eyes, which looked even deeper in the night, with a strange sense of beauty.

Ji Zhu, whose head was already a little dizzy, lay on the table, her eyes constantly looking in Jiang Bai’s direction.

“Actually, you have nothing to do with that Xiao Ge. I’m so happy.”

“Hmm?” Jiang Bai’s gaze condensed, and she looked at her.

“He’s not a good person. He’s not worthy of you!” Ji Zhu suddenly became excited, waving her hands and saying angrily, “That person is a playboy! He even wants to seduce my Senior Sister!”

“He’s so beautiful! Ugly people are just a nuisance!”

“…”

This person’s alcohol tolerance was really not that good. She still loved to drink so much, and she was so rowdy after drinking.

Jiang Bai rubbed her temples. She once again confirmed that this person really had the potential to be a drunkard.

“Alright, stop drinking. I’ll take you back to your room,” Jiang Bai’s tone was rarely gentle.

“You’ll take me? Alright!” Ji Zhu opened her arms and replied happily.

Jiang Bai: “…”

Helpless, she went forward to support Ji Zhu. Who knew that the moment she reached out…

“Enchantress, you have to hold me tight.”

Ji Zhu suddenly hugged her.

Hold me tight, and I’ll never run away again.
