At first, Chu Man was just waiting to see how the little fox would escape.
However, the little fox never attempted to escape at all; it even fell asleep directly.
The little fox had truly annoyed Chu Man. Under normal circumstances, she would have stopped waiting altogether.
But now, the little fox was seriously disrupting her time with Song Cha. In this situation, Chu Man couldn’t afford to be careless any longer; all she wanted was to uncover the reason behind the little fox’s escape.
Once she figured out why the little fox could escape, she could address the issue directly, patching up the loophole that allowed the little fox to escape, and she wouldn’t have to worry about it interrupting her time with Song Cha anymore.
However, what Chu Man didn’t expect was that the little fox, trapped within the barrier, had no intention of escaping at all. In fact, during these days, it not only failed to escape but also comfortably fell asleep within the barrier.
The little fox’s behavior left Chu Man extremely dissatisfied, but there was nothing she could do about it.
The only thing she could do was watch the little fox.
However, what surprised Chu Man was that Song Cha actually came to find her on her own.
Song Cha must really care about her to come looking for her like this.
Thinking of this made Chu Man’s heart feel a bit sweet.
An overwhelming sense of joy filled Chu Man’s heart, and even the frustration of having to keep an eye on the little fox to catch its escape loophole diminished significantly.
“Cha’er, did you come because you missed your master?” Chu Man couldn’t help but ask.
Song Cha: “……”
Upon hearing Chu Man’s words, Song Cha nodded: “I missed my master and the little fox.”
Chu Man: “……”
Hearing Song Cha’s words, the happiness Chu Man felt suddenly diminished a lot.
Missing her and the little fox?
It was enough for her that Song Cha missed her; why did she have to think of the little fox as well?
Chu Man felt a pang of bitterness in her heart.
But she still maintained her composure and replied, “Your master misses you too.”
Song Cha’s face turned slightly red as she lowered her head: “Mm.”
Chu Man: “……”
Song Cha’s blushing face was too adorable, and combined with her lowered head, it made Chu Man’s heart flutter slightly.
She… wanted to get closer to Song Cha.
But just as Chu Man was about to make a move, a casual glance revealed that the little fox, which had been sleeping, suddenly woke up from its slumber.
Now awake, the little fox was looking at her very seriously. At the same time, its paw slightly lifted, as if to indicate that it would immediately stop her if she made any move.
Seeing this scene, Chu Man’s desire to get closer to Song Cha vanished in an instant.
This does not mean that Chu Man no longer cares about Song Cha or wants to distance herself from her.
Rather, the current situation makes it impossible for Chu Man to continue getting close to Song Cha. Without killing the little fox or seriously injuring it, Chu Man has no idea how to deal with the little fox. If she cannot control the little fox, then the little fox can easily prevent her from getting close to Song Cha.
So, under the watchful gaze of the little fox, even if she wants to approach Song Cha, it would be futile. The little fox can always effortlessly ruin everything. Thinking of this, Chu Man became even angrier.
At that moment, Chu Man made a vow. She must stay here, keeping an eye on the little fox, until she finds a way to hold something against it and lock it away. Until she can imprison the little fox, she will continue to monitor it.
With this thought in mind, Chu Man felt less anxious. As a peak God Transformation cultivator with a lifespan of five thousand years, she views time very lightly.
She might not find a solution in a few days, but she doesn’t believe that if she waits a little longer, she will still be unable to deal with the little fox. After coming to this conclusion, Chu Man began to talk to Song Cha.
After chatting for a while, night fell. Song Cha was about to leave, and Chu Man took out the spiritual spring that Song Cha had given her, informing her of her plans to refine pills here for the time being.
Song Cha showed no resistance to Chu Man’s plans. In fact, she was quite curious about her pill refining.
For this session, Chu Man intended to use the newly gifted spiritual spring. This made Song Cha somewhat excited, as she knew that her spiritual spring was very beneficial for pill refining. Even the originally insufficient spiritual springs could greatly enhance the quality of the pills. Now that she had given Chu Man this refined spiritual spring, she wondered what kind of effects it would have in pill refining.
The night had completely fallen, and after bidding farewell to Chu Man, Song Cha left. Recently, Song Cha also planned to cultivate in her cave dwelling.
There were two main reasons for Song Cha’s current cultivation. The first reason is that she now possesses such a good spiritual spring. Using these rich spiritual energies for cultivation would definitely be beneficial for his advancement.
The second reason is that her master, Wu Longyue, and the little fox are either in seclusion or locked away. This situation truly presents a great opportunity for cultivation.
During this period, the events that have occurred and the gifts received are certainly minimal. In this case, rather than hesitating and getting tangled up, it would be better to use this time for cultivation. Once she has made good use of this free time to improve her cultivation, she will naturally have more time to do other things.
After making up her mind, Song Cha sent a message to Shao Yumiao using a paper crane and then entered into seclusion.
In Shao Yumiao’s small courtyard, she opened her eyes from her meditation.
She sensed something touching the barrier outside. Shao Yumiao opened the barrier and saw a paper crane waiting outside. She used her magical power to summon the paper crane over. After summoning it, Shao Yumiao noticed the words written on the paper crane.
“Sister Yumiao, I’m going into seclusion now, don’t worry about me.”
Shao Yumiao: “……”
Looking at the words on the paper crane, Shao Yumiao felt a bit displeased. In her imagination, Wu Longyue had already entered seclusion, which would give her more time to search for Song Cha. Then, she could go shopping with Song Cha every day and live the life she dreamed of, where Song Cha liked her and they were always together.
But unexpectedly, before the story even began, it had already been disrupted. Now that Song Cha was in seclusion, it was impossible for them to spend time together during this period.
However, Shao Yumiao had a cold personality and was not one to wallow in self-pity. She didn’t know how an ordinary person would react in such a situation, but the only decision Shao Yumiao made was to also use this time for her own seclusion.
Yes, Shao Yumiao planned to take this opportunity to enter seclusion as well. In the ruthless world of cultivation, the greatest rule was that the strong were respected. Shao Yumiao clearly understood that only by possessing greater strength could one gain more.
If she could use this time to elevate her cultivation level, it would be a significant improvement.
With this thought in mind, Shao Yumiao resolutely entered seclusion.
Now, Song Cha and a few others were in seclusion, while some were confined. In such circumstances, there was one person far away, striving hard for spirit stones.
You Ming An walked into an old, dilapidated tavern. The tavern was crowded and noisy, giving off a chaotic vibe at first glance. Yet, this tavern was well-known as a place for assassins to take on tasks.
You Ming An wore a black cloak, and even though she was wrapped in it, only her long hair was visible. Despite this, one could still tell that You Ming An had a great figure. With her slender silhouette and graceful walk, it was clear at a glance that she was a stunning beauty.
As a result, someone couldn’t help but approach her to strike up a conversation.
A figure dressed in a black cloak approached You Ming An, their voice laced with a hint of teasing: “Miss, are you here on a mission too? How about we team up for it?”
You Ming An: “……”
You Ming An, who was walking ahead, heard this remark. However, having spent her previous life as a cat and most of this life as one as well, she was not accustomed to being called “miss” or being flirted with. She didn’t even realize that the person behind her was speaking to her.
So, under these circumstances, You Ming An naturally continued walking forward.
But before she could reach the mission board hanging ahead, she felt her robe being tugged.
At the moment her black cloak was pulled, You Ming An’s brows furrowed.
“Miss, you haven’t answered me yet.” The teasing voice returned, but this time it carried a hint of anger, mixed with a touch of fury.
You Ming An was equally furious.
As a cat, You Ming An had a strong sense of cleanliness.
A cat’s territorial instinct simply did not allow others to approach her casually.
The way the person behind her had carelessly grabbed her black cloak was a significant offense.
In that instant, You Ming An didn’t hesitate to strike back with her spiritual power.
Her palm, infused with a strong cultivation aura, landed with such force that the person who had spoken so rudely could no longer utter a single harsh word.
No, it was more accurate to say that he was completely unable to speak at all.
The cloaked figure’s chest heaved, and he immediately spat out a mouthful of blood.
After spitting out blood, the expression on the cloaked man’s face turned pale, clearly indicating he had sustained significant damage.
Seeing the state of the cloaked man, You Ming An felt her previously suppressed emotions lift considerably.
Upon realizing that the “miss” he had called out was her, You Ming An’s anger flared up instantly.
How dare this person tease her? How dare he speak to her in such a tone? Did he not know she was already taken?
Though it was somewhat one-sided, You Ming An felt an overwhelming sense of agreement.
She belonged to Song Cha.
If anyone were to tease her, it could only be Song Cha, and not anyone else.
