Chapter 806: I Want To Pinch It Too
Little Red seemed to be trying to reassure itself more than anything. It claimed it was staying by Ling Chuxi’s side to seek revenge after recovering, but if Ling Chuxi had such a powerful sword spirit by her side, its chances of revenge would be slim. Hence, it preferred to believe that it was just a hallucination.
Humans were not the only beings that needed hope in their lives, monster beasts did too.
Of course, Ling Chuxi didn’t know what it was thinking, so she just threw it over her shoulder and carried it to breakfast.
Poor Little Red. Early in the morning, it had been forced awake, shaken, and thrown over Ling Chuxi’s shoulder like a sack of vegetables. Its small head drooped miserably on Ling Chuxi’s shoulder, bouncing up and down with her fast pace.
“Chuxi, good morning!” Lan Xinyu had woken up too and was walking towards the dining room when she saw Ling Chuxi.
“Morning,” Ling Chuxi greeted.
“Eh, what’s the matter with Little Red? It looks pretty lethargic, is it ill?” Lan Xinyu asked, peering at the little squirrel curiously.
“It’s all right, it probably hasn’t completely woken up yet. I just pinched it, and it seems to have gained quite a bit of weight. It won’t be sick,” Ling Chuxi said confidently.
“Oh, really? I want to pinch it too. ” Lan Xinyu said excitedly and reached out.
“Eep!” Little Red quickly got up and jumped down from Ling Chuxi’s shoulder.
“Agh, why can only Chuxi pinch you? Why won’t you let me pinch you? It’s not like you’ll die if I pinch you a little!” Lan Xinyu exclaimed indignantly and chased after it.
Little Red was already aggrieved that Ling Chuxi took advantage of it, how could it let this other woman molest him too? It immediately took off, bushy tail high in the air.
“Don’t think I won’t be able to catch a little squirrel like you!” Lan Xinyu yelled and chased after it.
Thus, early in the morning, Lan Xinyu and a little monster beast could be seen running around the Golden Pill Sect like lunatics.
Ling Chuxi was too lazy to pay attention to the two of them and went to the dining hall on her own. She was surprised to find that Lu Chengfeng hadn’t left yet. Su Yizhi was taking him on a tour of the sect, and Lu Chengfeng’s hands were clasped behind his back, a reserved expression on his face.
“Ah… Your Golden Pill Sect used to be one of the five major sects, but these mechanisms are too simple. They can work against ordinary people, but against an expert like me, they are utterly useless,” Lu Chengfeng said disdainfully as he walked, as if his cultivation was very outstanding.
Ling Chuxi heard his words and her mouth twitched in anger. Those mechanisms were refined and had been created by several mechanism masters. On the surface, they looked ordinary, but one mechanism was linked to another, and Ling Chuxi’s special poison had been added in, resulting in a combination of ingenuity and viciousness that amazed even her.
Two days ago, Su Yizhi had tested out the effects of the mechanisms, and had ended up in a terrible mess. If the mechanisms hadn’t stopped in time, he might not have been able to escape.
Master Quan saw all this and now refused to leave, even when everyone tried to get rid of him. He stubbornly stayed behind, claiming he was doing chores. He actually wanted to stay and learn about all kinds of mechanisms. Ling Chuxi knew this and found that his potential was okay and his character wasn’t bad, so she decided to let him stay and watch him. Him staying in the Golden Pill Sect as a special guest in the future wasn’t a bad idea either. Master Quan didn’t know about Ling Chuxi’s idea, but if he knew, he would have definitely jumped for joy.
