“You Ming An, you are Song Cha’s best contract beast.” Satisfied with the praise, Chu Man couldn’t help but compliment the bond between You Ming An and Song Cha.
Hearing Chu Man’s words, You Ming An’s eyes lit up instantly.
Chu Man was really too kind. You Ming An hadn’t expected that just a few words about the deep bond between master and disciple would make Chu Man so pleased, even saying she was Song Cha’s best contract beast.
She indeed was Song Cha’s best contract beast, much better than that white fox.
Coincidentally, Chu Man also thought You Ming An was much better than that white fox.
Because of the Nine-Tailed Fox, Chu Man already had a dislike for foxes. Moreover, that fox had previously interrupted her intimate moment with Song Cha… With both new and old grudges, Chu Man wished she could make that fox and Song Cha break their contract.
Unfortunately, Song Cha had signed a life-bound contract, which couldn’t be broken.
Things always need comparison and contrast.
It was precisely because of the fox’s contrast that Chu Man found You Ming An more pleasing.
Chu Man took out a few bottles of pills from her space ring: “These are some Golden Core stage and Nascent Soul stage pills, take them and use them.”
“Thank you, Chu Man True Person.” You Ming An accepted them respectfully and joyfully.
Seeing You Ming An’s respect, Chu Man felt even more satisfied.
However, the satisfied Chu Man had no idea what You Ming An was really thinking.
You Ming An wasn’t joyful because she received the pills.
After meeting Song Cha, although she still wanted to become stronger, the urgency to do so had lessened.
In such a situation, if others gave her things for no reason, she might not accept them.
But… the one giving her things now was Chu Man, Song Cha’s master, and thus Song Cha’s elder. Therefore, Chu Man was also an elder to You Ming An.
So, Chu Man giving her pills was like an elder bestowing gifts.
Why would an elder bestow gifts?
Of course, she was pleased with her and had a good impression of her, which is why she rewarded her with items!
Is there anything that could make You Ming An happier than this?
So, after receiving the elixir, You Ming An sincerely said, “Master, I will definitely use the elixir to cultivate diligently, improve my skills, and protect Song Cha’s safety.”
Chu Man nodded in satisfaction. You Ming An’s words had hit the nail on the head for Chu Man.
Chu Man was most concerned about Song Cha’s safety.
She hadn’t expected that the beast contracted to Song Cha would be so loyal and ambitious. Such a promising beast, even if it signed a life contract, would be a good thing.
“You may go now. When you have spare time from your cultivation, you can come and chat with me.” She wanted to talk about the deep bond between her and Song Cha as master and disciple.
You Ming An didn’t catch the underlying meaning in Chu Man’s words, but that didn’t stop her from agreeing and deciding to come and chat with Chu Man whenever she had the time.
Building goodwill with elders was something she should do as much as possible.
After making up her mind, You Ming An walked out of Chu Man’s cave.
Just as she stepped out, she saw the little fox beside the cave.
The little fox was basking in the sun with its eyes closed, half-asleep.
In the past, You Ming An would never speak to the little fox, but this time, having gained favor with Chu Man, she felt a bit boastful.
Her face was cold, but her voice carried a hint of pride, “Little fox, Master Chu Man likes me very much.”
Hearing You Ming An’s words, the half-asleep little fox opened its eyes and looked at her in surprise.
Being a feline, You Ming An couldn’t read the surprise in the canine little fox’s eyes. So she continued, “Master Chu Man said I am Song Cha’s best contract beast.” As she said this, she looked down at the little fox for a moment.
Little fox: “…”
“Yip yip!” The little fox was a bit angry.
Seeing the little fox’s angry yips, You Ming An felt even more pleased.
She even took out the jade bottle that Chu Man had just given her and showed it off to the little fox: “These are the pills given to me by Master Chu Man, all at the Golden Core and Nascent Soul stages. Master even said that I should visit her more often to chat in the future.”
The little fox: “…”
Seeing the pride on Chu Man’s face, the little fox was really angry.
It even wanted to teach You Ming An a lesson for showing off!
But just as these thoughts flashed through its mind, the little fox heard You Ming An say that Chu Man wanted her to visit more often to chat.
This immediately made the little fox pause its raised paw.
Chu Man wants You Ming An to visit her more often?
And Chu Man actually gave You Ming An pills?
Could it be… Chu Man has taken a liking to You Ming An?
Humans can be very fickle. Now that Song Cha is in seclusion, Chu Man might be feeling lonely and could easily transfer her affections to You Ming An. It’s not impossible.
This possibility made the little fox look at You Ming An more favorably.
Speaking of which, although the little fox hated You Ming An for ruining its plan to marry Song Cha and disliked You Ming An’s desire to marry Song Cha,
When comparing You Ming An and Chu Man, the little fox clearly disliked Chu Man more.
Because all of You Ming An’s actions were just talk. After being rejected by Song Cha, she had no other means.
But Chu Man was different. Chu Man had actually kissed Song Cha. She was clearly someone who took action and had the strength to back it up.
So in comparison, Chu Man was more dangerous.
If… while Song Cha is in seclusion, Chu Man falls for You Ming An, and You Ming An, who loves money, falls for Chu Man’s wealth…
Then it would solve two rivals at once.
The temptation of this possibility was too great.
The little fox couldn’t refuse at all.
It was also to the point where the little fox would rather watch You Ming An show off than hit her.
Otherwise, if You Ming An’s pretty face got hurt and didn’t attract Chu Man anymore, what would happen?
So, at this moment, the little fox was truly looking at You Ming An with a gentle and kind expression as she showed off.
When You Ming An was showing off, not only did the little fox not get angry, but she even nodded in satisfaction, as if agreeing that You Ming An was doing well and saying the right things.
You Ming An: “…”
Seeing the little fox nodding in satisfaction, You Ming An felt like her showing off was in vain.
She didn’t stay any longer and quickly left.
Rather than continuing to show off to this fox who wouldn’t get jealous, she might as well go back to cultivate and strive for an early breakthrough.
Thinking this, You Ming An quickly left.
…
Song Cha was currently in her cave dwelling.
In front of her was a mirror.
Looking at her improved skin in the mirror, Song Cha was in an extremely good mood.
This spiritual spring was even more effective than she had imagined.
The water from the spiritual spring not only had a purifying effect on spiritual energy but was also extremely good for the skin.
After consuming the spiritual spring water, Song Cha’s skin condition had also improved.
Such a spiritual spring was not mentioned in the original work.
However, Song Cha was not surprised.
There were so many treasures in the world, and although most would fall into the hands of the protagonist…
However, there are still some treasures that can be lost and obtained by others.
But… with Long Aotian’s current low cultivation level, can he really reach the heights described in the original plot and win the hearts of beauties?
