Upon seeing Chu Man, Song Cha walked towards her.
Following Song Cha were Huan Shi and You Ming An.
Clearly, Chu Man also noticed Song Cha approaching.
She waited in a good mood for Song Cha to come over.
“Cha’er.” Finally seeing Song Cha approach, Chu Man carefully observed her.
When she saw that Song Cha was as composed as ever, without a hint of disarray, she felt somewhat relieved.
“Master.” Song Cha’s voice was gentle.
Hearing Song Cha calling her, Chu Man’s mood improved even more.
Her gaze lingered on Song Cha’s lips.
Song Cha’s lips were very red, and their shape was beautiful. Just looking at them, Chu Man felt an urge to kiss them.
Thinking this, Chu Man felt her throat dry up and wanted to drink some water.
But in the end, Chu Man did not kiss her.
The secret realm was now open, and there were many people outside. It wasn’t the right time.
Although she didn’t care about the opinions of these people, Song Cha couldn’t afford to ignore them.
So, despite her strong desire to be close to Song Cha, Chu Man held back.
However, Chu Man’s restraint gave You Ming An a misconception.
Chu Man and Song Cha had a pure master-disciple relationship.
Following Song Cha onto the cloud boat, You Ming An found Chu Man very pleasing to the eye.
Yes, You Ming An found Chu Man very pleasing to the eye.
In You Ming An’s view, Chu Man is Song Cha’s master and treats Song Cha exceptionally well. Knowing that Song Cha was going to the secret realm, Chu Man gave her various items to ensure her safety.
It truly is a touching master-disciple relationship.
But that’s not the most important part. The most important thing is that Chu Man captured her and brought her to Song Cha, making her sign a life contract with Song Cha.
If it weren’t for Chu Man’s help, she might still be outside, thinking about how to become stronger to find her master.
Thinking of this, You Ming An looked at Chu Man with a few more traces of gratitude in her eyes.
However, Chu Man didn’t pay much attention to You Ming An.
In Chu Man’s eyes, You Ming An was just a contract beast she gave to Song Cha, not worth too much attention.
After checking on Song Cha, Chu Man shifted her gaze to Huan Shi.
The moment she saw Huan Shi, Chu Man’s brows furrowed involuntarily.
This woman was a God Transformation stage expert.
“Cha’er, this is…” Chu Man said, looking at Song Cha.
“This is Huan Shi, a friend I met in the secret realm,” Song Cha said simply.
“Huan Shi?” Chu Man glanced at Huan Shi’s appearance again. “The clan leader of the Nine-Tailed Fox clan?”
Huan Shi nodded slightly, barely a response.
Chu Man: “…”
Hearing Song Cha introduce Huan Shi as her friend, Chu Man felt a sense of regret.
Back then, she had quarreled with Song Cha because of Shao Yumiao, and Song Cha had said she would never make friends again for her sake.
Although Chu Man had also hoped that Song Cha would never make friends again and that she would be the most important person in her heart, she had refused Song Cha’s promise to avoid making her sad.
Now…
Looking at Huan Shi’s face and how close she was with Song Cha, Chu Man couldn’t help but feel a bit of regret.
But a strong person never dwells on past events.
The decisions made, even if unsatisfactory, would not be easily changed.
So, even though Chu Man was extremely displeased, she still maintained her composure.
Until… Huan Shi spoke.
Huan Shi’s appearance was delicate and pure, giving off an untainted aura.
Her clear eyes looked earnestly at Chu Man, “You are Chu Man, Song Cha’s master, right?”
“Yes.” Chu Man answered this very quickly.
“Song Cha is my savior. From now on, I will live with Song Cha in the Qingfeng Sect.” Huan Shi said this with the same clarity.
But Chu Man was angry.
“The Qingfeng Sect’s rules do not allow outsiders to enter at will.” Even if this rule didn’t exist before, once Chu Man said it, the Qingfeng Sect would have this rule.
Hearing Chu Man’s words, Huan Shi’s long lashes innocently lowered, “How could I be an outsider?”
Chu Man: “…”
“Song Cha is my savior, and I have decided to devote myself to her.” Huan Shi looked even more innocent, “From now on, I will be Song Cha’s wife. By then, I might even call you master along with Song Cha.”
Chu Man: “…”
Hearing Huan Shi’s words, Chu Man’s first reaction was to look at Song Cha, wanting to see what Song Cha’s attitude was now.
When she heard Huan Shi’s words, Chu Man was a bit scared.
Huan Shi was really beautiful, not inferior to her, and she was a nine-tailed fox spirit. It was said that fox spirits were particularly good at manipulating people’s hearts.
She was a bit afraid that Huan Shi would steal Song Cha’s heart.
But the moment she saw Song Cha, Chu Man felt relieved.
Song Cha looked innocent, clearly disapproving of what Huan Shi had said.
“Cha’er, what’s going on here?” Chu Man looked at Song Cha, determined to get to the bottom of this.
Song Cha raised her eyes to Chu Man. “Master, I don’t know why this happened. I just found Sister Huan Shi tied up with ropes in the secret realm and helped her untie them.”
Sister Huan Shi? Untie the ropes?
This fox spirit really knows how to seduce people.
Even though she was already very angry inside, Chu Man maintained her outward calm. “Is there anything else?”
Song Cha lowered her head, her voice trembling slightly. “She… she said I saved her life and wanted to repay me with her body.”
Chu Man: “…”
Hearing Song Cha’s words, Chu Man shot a cold glance at Huan Shi.
This Huan Shi was even more shameless than she had imagined.
She actually wanted to repay Song Cha, whom she had just met, with her body!
Whether considering Song Cha as her disciple or as a partner, Chu Man could not tolerate Huan Shi’s actions.
However, before dealing with these issues, Chu Man had one last question for Song Cha.
“Cha’er, what kind of ropes were binding the nine-tailed fox?”
“Just the most ordinary mortal ropes,” Song Cha replied.
Hearing Song Cha’s answer, Chu Man’s expression grew even colder.
If the ropes binding Huan Shi had been even slightly more formidable, Chu Man’s expression wouldn’t be this cold.
But now, Huan Shi had been tied up with ordinary ropes and was saved by Song Cha.
Being tied up with ordinary ropes, whether untying them herself or burning them with flames, should have been a simple matter.
However, Huan Shi wanted Song Cha to help her unlock it and even promised to marry her in return.
It was obvious… Huan Shi had ulterior motives from the start.
