Hearing You Ming An’s words, Chu Man looked at You Ming An with some curiosity.
When she first captured You Ming An, he was still gnashing his teeth in hatred towards her. Even when he signed the life contract with Song Cha, it was only because of her overwhelming strength, and he had no choice but to agree.
Why does You Ming An now seem not the least bit reluctant? Not only has his hatred for her vanished, but he also looks like he genuinely wants to get along with her?
Chu Man had lived for a hundred years and had the ability to discern whether someone harbored ill will towards her.
She could tell that You Ming An no longer hated her at all.
Since You Ming An didn’t hate her, Chu Man’s attitude towards him improved as well.
After all, he was Song Cha’s contract beast.
In the future, when she and Song Cha became partners, he would be her partner’s contract beast.
Getting along well was a good choice.
So, Chu Man opened the door to her cave dwelling, leaving enough space for You Ming An to pass through. “Come in and have some tea.”
“Thank you, Master Chu Man.” Chu Man’s good attitude made You Ming An a bit happy. Seeing Chu Man’s demeanor, it seemed she didn’t dislike her. Did this mean she had a better chance of gaining Song Cha’s family’s approval?
Thinking of this, You Ming An’s gaze towards Chu Man became even friendlier.
The two soon arrived at Chu Man’s guest room.
Chu Man’s guest room was luxuriously decorated, even the table was made of precious wood.
Chu Man picked up the teapot and poured a cup for You Ming An.
You Ming An picked up the cup and drank.
It was spiritual tea, excellent in both taste and effect.
After taking a sip of the spiritual tea, the two began to chat.
After drinking the tea, You Ming An started to speak proactively.
“Master Chu Man, you reached the peak of God Transformation at just a hundred years old. That’s truly remarkable,” You Ming An said.
Hearing You Ming An’s words, Chu Man remained indifferent, not taking it to heart.
In fact, Chu Man was always surrounded by people who flattered her, praising her exceptional talent and high cultivation. Now, these compliments from You Ming An didn’t bring any joy to Chu Man.
Clearly, You Ming An also noticed Chu Man’s indifferent attitude.
You Ming An understood that Chu Man wasn’t interested in being praised for her cultivation.
So… as a master alchemist, would she be happy if praised for her alchemy skills?
With this thought, You Ming An spoke again:
“Master Chu Man, you became a master alchemist at a hundred years old. That’s truly amazing.”
Chu Man: “…”
Listening to You Ming An, Chu Man suddenly didn’t want You Ming An to stay any longer.
The only reason she let You Ming An into her guest room was because You Ming An was Song Cha’s contract beast. But now, You Ming An kept praising her.
It was really embarrassing for Song Cha.
Thinking this, Chu Man was already a bit impatient and wanted to kick You Ming An out.
But before Chu Man could speak, You Ming An spoke first.
“Master Chu Man, you have high cultivation and are a master alchemist. It’s wonderful that my master can be your disciple.” Realizing that Chu Man didn’t want to hear more about alchemy, You Ming An started praising the master-disciple relationship.
Chu Man: “…”
Hearing You Ming An’s words, Chu Man, who originally wanted to kick You Ming An out, suddenly couldn’t say it.
She thought… actually, You Ming An wasn’t that bad at talking. What he was saying now was quite good.
“Being able to become Song Cha’s master is also one of the happiest things for me.” Chu Man’s lips curled up, and she couldn’t help but smile.
You Ming An: “…”
Listening to Chu Man’s words and seeing the smile on her face, You Ming An suddenly understood. It turned out that what Chu Man valued most was the bond between master and disciple.
Alright.
That’s enough.
You Ming An made a judgment.
“Master, when I first saw my master standing with you, I felt an incredible harmony, as if you were destined to be master and disciple,” You Ming An continued.
Chu Man became even happier. She looked at You Ming An, signaling her to continue.
And You Ming An, as Chu Man wished, continued speaking.
“Master, you are so kind to my master. After forming a contract with my master, both my master and I are very grateful to you.”
“Master Chu Man, you are truly the best master in the world, the best to Song Cha.”
“Master Chu Man, you…”
“…”
Back in the modern world, although You Ming An was just a cat, she still had some wisdom. At that time, she watched many good TV dramas in her cat form.
And now, those TV dramas she had watched turned into wisdom, allowing her to praise the bond between Song Cha and Chu Man.
Chu Man, being an old relic of the cultivation world, couldn’t possibly compare to a modern cat who had watched TV dramas.
So, she was utterly delighted by the modern cat’s praise of her deep bond with Song Cha, feeling more joyful than ever.
She realized that it was a big mistake to judge You Ming An as someone who couldn’t speak well and to find conversations with her unpleasant just because of the first two sentences she said.
Although You Ming An had a cold demeanor and seemed unapproachable, talking to her was truly the most pleasant thing.
Especially when she spoke about the deep bond between her and Song Cha.
