Chapter 449: Chapter 448: The Rare Taoist Origin Fruit, Reunion with Yuran
Seeing his two young juniors set their sights on Li Jing, Zhou Wu furrowed his brows slightly.
"Mu Chen, Xiao Jue, show some respect. This is Li Jing, a friend from the modern world, a cultivator at the Ninth Realm."
As he spoke, he turned to Li Jing apologetically.
"I beg your pardon, my friend. The younger generation of our Taoist school has been spoiled by their elders."
"No offense taken."
Li Jing waved his hand, smiling.
On the other side.
Upon learning from Zhou Wu that Li Jing was a cultivator at the Ninth Realm, Mu Chen and Xiao Jue confirmed indirectly that he was the one who had defeated Zuo Bufan, the Vice-Temple Master of the Martial God Temple.
They promptly showed their respect, bowing politely.
"I’m Mu Chen from the Taoist school, at your service, Elder Li."
"I’m Xiao Jue from the Taoist school, at your service, Elder Li."
Seeing the two of them pay their respects and nodding in acknowledgment, Li Jing brought out two large tubs of Spirit Spring Water.
"These two tubs contain Spirit Spring Water. You can both take them. Taking a little before you meditate will greatly benefit your cultivation level."
Mu Chen and Xiao Jue were slightly taken aback at this gesture.
Neither of them had expected Li Jing to give them anything in return for their greeting.
Looking at the two water containers in his hand, they both had a change of expression.
The sight also made Zhou Wu’s eyes bulge.
The water containers in Li Jing’s hands looked extremely ordinary.
Filled up to five liters, cheaply made.
But the water inside...
Just one look was enough to sense the enormous amount of Spiritual Qi hidden within it.
Ordinary Spirit Springs shouldn’t have reached this level.
Although it couldn’t compare to high-grade spiritual items, the Spirit Spring Water had the advantage of being drinkable directly without any unnecessary steps for absorption.
For Mu Chen and Xiao Jue, who were presently only at the Fifth Boundary, it was an extremely rare good item.
Li Jing handed over ten liters at once, which also made Zhou Wu a little envious.
Of course.
He wouldn’t fight with his disciples over such a thing.
To him at the Eighth Realm, the Spirit Spring Water simply served a certain auxiliary role.
Lower cultivation level has its advantages.
Using spiritual objects to assist in cultivation had a more noticeable effect for those at lower realms than for those at higher realms.
Seeing his disciples somewhat taken aback, Zhou Wu spoke out.
"Don’t just stand there in shock, quickly thank Elder Li for his generous gift!"
On hearing this, Mu Chen and Xiao Jue exchanged a glance, then went ahead to receive the Spirit Spring from Li Jing.
"Thank you, elder."
Xiao Jue, who was a female cultivator, sweetly voiced her gratitude as she held the water container.
Mu Chen followed suit in giving his thanks.
"Thank you for your generous gift, elder."
"It’s just some ordinary stuff, there’s no need for formalities."
Li Jing laughed.
With this move, he felt like he had truly taken on the role of an older generation figure.
Looking at Mu Chen and Xiao Jue in front of him, it was clear that they were worthy disciples of the Taoist School.
Just looking at their faces, one could tell that although they both had Fifth Boundary cultivation, their actual ages were just around twenty.
He hesitated as to whether he should give the two juniors a little more, Zhou Wu handed over Zuo Bufan, who was in his hands, to Mu Chen, saying,
"Mu Chen, put this man in prison at the Forbidden Area in the back mountain."
"Yes, Sir."
Mu Chen responded respectfully, carrying Zuo Bufan and levitating to leave.
Seeing this, Zhou Wu turned around to face Li Jing.
"Friend Li, why not accompany Xiao Jue to the guest room to rest for a while? I’m going to the Sky Walking Palace to wake up Chen Yuran, who is in deep meditation. I’ll tell her to come and meet you."
Li Jing nodded at his words.
"I appreciate your efforts, Elder."
He didn’t know what kind of place the Sky Walking Palace was.
However, as far as a powerful sect like the Taoist school was concerned, the places where disciples cultivate are bound to be exquisite.
Good cultivation environments are a must.
Additionally, it needs to be safe enough so as not to be interrupted by anyone.
He might prefer to go directly to Chen Yuran rather than wait for Zhou Wu to bring her over, but as a guest, etiquette was important.
Zhou Wu, after giving his instructions to Li Jing, quickly rose into the air, heading towards the other side of the mountain valley instead of deeper into the temple.
Xiao Jue stayed behind to take care of Li Jing. She smiled playfully, like a young lady.
"Elder Li, let me show you to the guest room."
"Sure."
Li Jing smiled politely.
...
After a short while.
Guided by Xiao Jue, Li Jing arrived at the inner part of the Taoist school.
Within the Taoist school, there were a series of ancient halls sitting in a lively valley.
Though not as majestic as the Qingyuan Fairy Palace, these halls nestled in the quiet valley exuded an elegant charm and a distinct scholarly atmosphere.
If not for the fact that Li Jing knew in advance that the Taoist School was a stronghold of the Demon Tower, he might have mistaken it for a scholar’s academy.
On the way to the valley.
Li Jing saw quite a few disciples of the Taoist school.
Most of these Taoist school disciples seemed to be at the fifth or sixth realms, and a very small number were at the seventh realm.
It seemed.
In order to get to the Taoist Original Fruit in the underground palace, the Taoist School had really sent out all its elites, leaving very few "guards" behind.
Under Xiao Jue’s guidance, Li Jing finally arrived at a large hall located on a small hillside.
Upon entering the hall.
Xiao Jue invited Li Jing to sit down, serving him a cup of Spiritual Tea, and blinked her curious eyes at him.
"Elder Li, I heard from my instructor just now that you’re from the modern world. But as far as I’m aware, someone who has reached the Ninth Realm can’t stay too long in the modern world, can they?"
Obviously, Xiao Jue, being a junior disciple, had not received the related news and was not aware that an exception like Li Jing had appeared in the modern world. Li Jing smiled warmly.
"My situation is a bit special. I can stay longer than most, but I’ll still have to leave after a short while."
"Is that so?"
Xiao Jue blinked.
Seeing Li Jing’s kind demeanor and easygoing nature, she curiously asked again.
"If I’m not mistaken, the ’Chen’ that Elder Zhou just mentioned should be my junior sister Chen Yuran. She’s the only one in our school who comes from the modern world. Elder Li, what is your relationship with her?"
Seeing Xiao Jue being so curious, Li Jing couldn’t help but find it a bit amusing.
Technically speaking.
Xiao Jue might seem young and attractive, but she was a bonafide disciple of the Demon Gate.
If she were outside, she would be referred to as a "witch."
She seemed far from being the demoness right now, didn’t she?
Considering the questioner was a junior and asked sincerely, Li Jing responded.
"I am her boyfriend."
"Boyfriend?!"
Xiao Jue widened her eyes, and then raised her voice a few notches.
"Elder, you’re Junior Sister Chen’s taoist companion!? How could you, a person from the Ninth Realm, ...?"
"Does whether or not one can become a taoist companion have anything to do with the level of the Realm one is in?"
Li Jing asked back.
"Ah, this..."
Xiao Jue was stumped by the question.
She wanted to say that it did.
At least in her eyes, this seemed like a big issue.
However, upon considering that both Chen Yuran and Li Jing were "legendary" people from the Present World and not members of the sect she usually interacted with, she felt it didn’t really matter.
She was born in the Star Secret Realm and then entered Tianyi Daoist School, and has never been to the Present World.
But she heard a lot about the Present World.
It was very different from the Star Secret Realm.
There were many annoying rules that had to be obeyed, and many strange things happened.
Thinking that Li Jing had no need to lie to her, Xiao Jue’s eyes suddenly heated up, burning with the desire for gossip.
The mind of a woman is as hard to fathom as a needle at the bottom of the sea.
Li Jing was at a loss.
But he could clearly see Xiao Jue’s mind burning with gossip right before his eyes.
Seeing that Xiao Jue was about to ask something again, Li Jing coughed softly and said,
"Little kids shouldn’t ask too much about adult matters."
Being confronted with this statement, Xiao Jue immediately felt awkward.
Little kid.
Did she look like a little kid?
But she had to admit.
In front of Li Jing, who was at the ninth realm of cultivation, she was indeed a "little kid."
Pouting in dissatisfaction, she reluctantly suppressed her gossiping urge.
Seeing Xiao Jue sitting there with her mouth pouted, and her obvious dissatisfaction, Li Jing laughed and asked,
"Elder Zhou told me earlier that all the senior teachers of your Daoist School have gone to some Underground Palace in search of Taoist Origin Fruit. This is the first time I’ve heard of both the Underground Palace and the Taoist Origin Fruit. Can you explain?"
Upon hearing Li Jing, Xiao Jue blinked and, without any wariness towards Li Jing who had given her Spirit Spring Water before, she began to answer.
"The so-called Underground Palace is what you Present World people refer to as a stacked space, only the names are different here."
As she spoke, she continued to explain.
"The Star Secret Realm, which has always been connected to the Present World by a passage, is quite special. It is said that tens of thousands of years ago, there existed strong ones in the Eleventh Realm or even higher realms, but because of some changes to the Heavenly Path, this Secret Realm could no longer accommodate strong ones above the Tenth Realm."
"Because the previous top strong ones left in a hurry, they left countless treasures in the Star Secret Realm, many of which are still hidden in unknown stacked spaces. These stacked spaces were often the individual cave dwellings created by the top strong ones with their divine abilities."
"Usually these cave dwelling spaces are hidden by prohibiting methods and are hard to detect. Even if they are found, they are hard to enter. But over time, the prohibitions left behind by the previous great masters occasionally fail, exposing the Underground Palaces."
After explaining all this in three sentences, Xiao Jue continued to speak.
"As for the Taoist Origin Fruit, it is a rare and precious treasure born from the Heavenly Path. In terms of quality, it is a rank higher than the Heavenly Spirit Root. As for its usefulness, the Taoist Origin Fruit has many wonderful uses. It can prolong lifespan and enhance cultivation, as well as enhance the perceptiveness of cultivators. Moreover, the Taoist Origin Fruit can bring about a chance to directly comprehend the Heavenly Path. However, the most widely praised use of the Taoist Origin Fruit is that soon after consuming it, there’s a fifty percent chance to comprehend a rule across the realms."
Listening to Xiao Jue’s explanation, Li Jing raised an eyebrow.
Xiao Jue was very detailed.
At this point, he more or less understood.
The Underground Palace and the Stacked Space he discovered in the Heavenly Saint Land were one and the same concept, relics left by the predecessors.
As for the Taoist Origin Fruit, it could be essentially understood as a lower version of the God Pattern.
Why was it a lower version?
No matter the height of a God Pattern, as long as it is absorbed and the God Position is achieved, a rule is inevitably mastered, while the Taoist Origin Fruit only has a fifty percent chance.
The Taoist Origin Fruit has the amazing ability to increase lifespan and enhance cultivation, but so does the God Pattern.
The ability to enhance perceptiveness and bring about a direct comprehension of the Heavenly Path is rather rare.
The Heavenly Path exists.
Anyone who has entered the cultivation path can feel it.
Li Jing, who has never seriously cultivated, felt it once he started practicing the basic methods.
But the Heavenly Path always seems out of reach.
Although the power of the rules is part of the Heavenly Path, even if one steps into the Ninth Realm and captures a rule, the direct comprehension of the Heavenly Path is still wishful thinking.
The Taoist Origin Fruit, with its extraordinary benefit of directly comprehending the Heavenly Path, is definitely at a higher level.
At this moment, Li Jing was somewhat moved and wondered whether he should go to the Underground Palace discovered by the Tianyi Daoist School and take a look.
While he was pondering, he felt something and turned his head to look at the guest room entrance.
Just then.
Zhou Wu and Chen Yuran came in, one after the other.
Seeing Chen Yuran again after half a year, Li Jing was slightly stunned, then showed a warm smile.
On the other side.
Chen Yuran also slowed down upon seeing him, showing a slight smile.
Seeing that he had just brought Chen Yuran over and Li Jing had already met her gaze, Zhou Wu was surprised.
After waking Chen Yuran up, he had asked about her relationship with Li Jing.
But Chen Yuran didn’t give him a direct answer.
He didn’t want to pry further.
This Junior Sister Chen is quite gifted.
Since she came to Tianyi Daoist School, she has always be calm and composed, always in closed-door cultivation, rarely coming out, she is very ambitious.
But her flaw lies here.
She focuses too much on progress and doesn’t have any other thoughts on her mind.
Zhou Wu, as her senior uncle, has more than once told her that she shouldn’t be too rash on the path to cultivation and needs to "combine work and rest."
After all, she is the daughter of his junior brother.
The more he can care for her, the more he naturally does.
But no matter how many times he says it, Chen Yuran doesn’t listen, not even pretending to go along with it, which really tires him out.
Chen Yuran is naturally like this, if she keeps quiet, how could Zhou Wu dare to ask more?
Not to mention there is Li Jing, a ninth realm cultivator who is so strong it’s outrageous...
Seeing Chen Yuran and Li Jing make eye contact right now, Zhou Wu finally realized their relationship.
This TM...
They’re an item!
Making this discovery, Zhou Wu was more than just incredulous.
Chen Yuran, who was barely in the Fifth Realm.
How could she latch on to Li Jing, whose thigh was so thick it was outrageous?
Over here.
Xiao Jue, who already knew the relationship between Li Jing and Chen Yuran, saw the two meeting eyes immediately upon seeing each other, and while feeling a little envious, she tactfully stood up, bowed to Li Jing and saluted him.
"Senior, since Junior Sister Chen has come, I will take my leave for now."
Without waiting for Li Jing’s response, she turned around and left.
As she was about to leave, she unceremoniously took Zhou Wu with her.
"Senior Uncle, I have some questions regarding my cultivation, I hope you can help me solve them."
You could say Zhou Wu is a cunning man.
When Xiao Jue caught him off guard and started discussing, he reluctantly responded.
"Sure, let’s go to the cultivation room to talk."
Seeing the two "awkwardly" conversating then leaving, Chen Yuran blushed from embarrassment standing at the door. She turned her head to sneak one last look before stepping inside, shutting the door behind her.
She sat across from Li Jing, her eyes avoiding him. She bit her lower lip gently.
"I told you I was to go into isolation for a year, then come back. Why are you here so suddenly?"
"What if I told you I couldn’t wait? Would you believe me?"
Li Jing smiled.
Chen Yuran paused at his words, then made a face.
"You’ve become really smooth after not seeing me for half a year. This might work on Sister Sisi, but it doesn’t work on me."
Li Jing was speechless.
Being smooth-talked to, he could admit.
He did get carried away this time.
But Chen Yuran is, after all, Chen Yuran.
Even though they confirmed their relationship before she left, normal flirting tricks wouldn’t work on her. Unlike the effortless nature of Liu Sisi, who falls for every trick and even uses those tricks on others.
Seeing Chen Yuran looking unimpressed, Li Jing thought for a moment, then summoned Ya’er from the Little Universe with a wave of his hands.
?
Ya’er, who was a moment ago stuck deciphering the Heritage Stele in the Seven-Star Formation, was suddenly summoned and displayed a puzzled look.
Before she could figure out what was happening, a strong force compelled her to reveal her true form.
???
Ya’er.
Seeing that Li Jing suddenly took out a cat-eared little girl, Chen Yuran was initially bewildered but then her eyes lit up.
When she saw Ya’er transform into her true cat form, becoming a white fluffy ball, her eyes shone with an intense sparkle.
Seeing her reaction, Li Jing casually placed Ya’er into her arms and chuckled.
"This is a gift for you."
???
Ya’er.
No way!
What’s happening?
Her "doting" dad suddenly took her out, forced her to reveal her true form and stuffed her into a strange woman’s arms, then said he’ll give her away as a gift!?
What’s going on here!
Did her mom agree to this?
Is there such a thing as cat rights!?
On hearing Li Jing’s voice, Chen Yuran’s face lit up with joy.
Seeing her reaction, Li Jing smiled.
Half a year apart, and Chen Yuran hasn’t changed at all.
Looking at Ya’er’s pleading expression in Chen Yuran’s arms, Li Jing coughed and decided to change his previous statement.
"Actually, Ya’er is a little girl I adopted from a Secret Realm. What I said earlier was just a joke."
Hearing him take back his words, Chen Yuran smirked and hugged Ya’er tighter.
"I don’t care, you said it’s a gift for me! Now she belongs to me!"
Upon hearing this, Li Jing gave an awkward smile and gave Ya’er an apologetic look.
You can’t cure Chen Yuran’s "obsession."
But she wouldn’t go too wild.
At least, he’d explained what his relationship with Ya’er is.
Speaking of relationships, Ya’er would have to call Chen Yuran "Mom" like she calls Liu Sisi, so it wouldn’t be an issue for her to hold Ya’er for a while.
Meanwhile, Chen Yuran couldn’t stop cuddling Ya’er.
Ya’er soon figured out that the woman hugging her was another "mom" after the initial shock of being hastily "given away".
Neither she nor Jiu Li was given the Supreme God Pattern.
After Jiu Li entered, they had chatted a lot while slacking off during cultivation.
Jiu Li told her a lot about Li Jing, emphasizing that she didn’t only have one "mom", but eight more.
Hearing this, Ya’er was shocked.
Being as naive as she was, how could she understand that the unreliable Jiu Li was fooling her?
Regardless, at least Ya’er now knew she had more than one "mom".
Feeling resigned to her "fate" in Chen Yuran’s arms, Ya’er obediently became a comfortable pillow.
Ya’er’s compliance pleased Chen Yuran greatly.
Of course.
She wouldn’t just forget Li Jing because of this.
At worst, he was still the boyfriend she had accepted.
Even when they parted ways, they never clarified it directly, but it was something mutually understood.
Holding Ya’er, Chen Yuran directed her attention to Li Jing.
"I feel like I’ve missed a lot while in seclusion for half a year. What have you been up to?"
"Well...that’s a long story."
This said, Li Jing reached out his hand.
"Give me your hand. I’ll take you to a place and tell you everything once we’re there."
Chen Yuran hesitated briefly upon hearing his request, then shyly placed her jade-like hand in his.
Compared to Liu Sisi and Yulian, who can be described as "on-the-go" types, Chen Yuran, who is not much older than Li Jing, is relatively inexperienced in matters of love.
In the past, she wouldn’t bat an eye at intimate gestures.
After all, she is a straightforward woman at heart.
If was a case to solve, a public display of love, she wouldn’t think too much.
But now things are different, and she has started to care more.
Even as youthfully naive girl, she is still an innocent young woman without much experience.
Li Jing understood this as well.
With Liu Sisi and Yulian, they could say they skipped the dating phase to an extent.
But with Chen Yuran, he felt what he needed to do was required.
As he gently held her hand, Li Jing smiled.
"Don’t resist, and don’t be too shocked either."
In the midst of his words, he moved his will, and with Chen Yuran, entered into the Little Universe, appearing at the peak of Canglong Mountain.
Chen Yuran went in seclusion when Li Jing had just acquired the Spirit Seed, and the seed had yet to sprout.
This was her first time in the Little Universe.
Compared to Yulian and the others who came into the Little Universe gradually, the shock was overwhelming for Chen Yuran.
The Little Universe has now expanded boundlessly.
Beneath Canglong mountain, a massive and ultra-modern city has been established.
Seeing the things in the Little Universe, Chen Yuran was completely stunned.
"This used to be my storage space; now, it has its own world as the Little Universe and has awakened with its own Will of Heaven."
Li Jing whispered. Casually, he summoned out Xiao Ai, who symbolizes the Will of Heaven and permeates the universe. He chuckled.
"Yes, this is the Heavenly Path."
"..."
Chen Yuran.
Little Ai, of course she recognized.
After all, it used to be her "plaything".
She, Chen Yuran, was not that bad, not to remember someone after "playing" with them.
At this moment, looking at Little Ai being picked up by Li Jing from her neck, Chen Yuran was indeed stunned.
Little Ai was different.
It was obvious at a glance.
She not only has a body of flesh and blood, she was no longer a virtual image.
Just looking at her, was like looking at the Heavenly Path, making people feel vast and mysterious.
At the scene.
When Little Ai was brought out and saw Chen Yuran, an old acquaintance, she was stunned at first, then smiled and waved.
"Sister Yuran, long time no see."
Hearing this, Chen Yuran barely managed to recover her senses, and responded subconsciously.
"Yeah, long time no see."
After responding, she felt a bit unreal.
If it weren’t for the fact that she could tell how extraordinary Little Ai was just by looking at her, she would never believe that this shameless little girl in Li Jing’s hands could be part of the Heavenly Path.
Seeing that Little Ai had greeted Chen Yuran, Li Jing casually pushed the little light bulb in his hand to a location far away from Canglong Mountain, and casually pulled out a long chair to sit down.
Then, he pulled over Chen Yuran to sit down and smiled shyly.
"I am now at the Ninth Realm, did your Master Uncles mention it to you?"
?
Chen Yuran slowly put out a question mark.
Zhou Wu did not tell her what realm Li Jing is in now.
He awakened her, chatted with her for a while, then hurriedly brought her over.
Right now, as Li Jing claimed to be in the Ninth Realm, how could Chen Yuran possibly believe it?
When she left, Li Jing had just stepped into the Seventh Realm recently.
Half a year without seeing each other, he’s now in the Ninth Realm?
She entered the Star Secret Realm, lost her appetite and closed herself off day after day, and it was not easy for her to break through to the Fifth Realm, yet she was still far from the Sixth Realm...
Now she’s in the Fifth Realm, Li Jing is in the Ninth Realm.
This gap...
Does she still have a chance to catch up with Li Jing’s pace?
Seeing Chen Yuran staring at him in a daze, with her expression changing constantly, Li Jing practically guessed what this competitive girl was thinking about, and casually took out the set of God Patterns that she left for her.
"These God Patterns can grant you a safe journey to the Eighth Realm, take them."
"..."
Chen Yuran.
She did not know much about what a God Pattern is.
But with the simple two words of ’God Pattern’, she could basically understand.
As for Li Jing’s promise to carry her to the Eighth Realm, she understood it clearly.
People often say.
There are no shortcuts on the path of cultivation.
But right now, Li Jing was directly paving a shortcut at her feet.
Looking at the God Patterns that Li Jing took out, Chen Yuran did not accept them right away, hesitating.
Li Jing of course knew what kind of person Chen Yuran was.
Even if she knew it was beneficial to her cultivation, she wouldn’t just say ’I’ll take it’.
Besides, she was naturally competitive and liked to rely on herself in everything.
"I’ve harvested quite a few God Patterns, Sisi, Yulian, Brother Jiu, and even Ji Qing, they have all absorbed them, including the cat in your arms who has absorbed a complete set of God Patterns capable of reaching the upper ranks."
Li Jing began, half-jokingly.
"Surely you wouldn’t refuse something I give you?"
"..."
Chen Yuran.
Her focus was not on whether or not she would accept something Li Jing gave her.
It was that Liu Sisi and the others had already absorbed the God Patterns, including Ji Qing and that useless cat and the cat in her arms.
This made her somewhat too busy to persevere.
She was naturally competitive and disliked being weaker than others in cultivation.
Even if that useless cat Ji Qing, who only plays games all day, is a level or two stronger than her, she couldn’t accept it.
Pouting her lips, Chen Yuran waved her hand and collected all the God Patterns, then squeezed the paw that was touching her waist unknowingly, glaring angrily at someone.
"Talk all you want, but don’t touch and fumble."
Li Jing smiled, ambitiously pulling her into his arms, and then said.
"I just have a lot to say to you, isn’t it easier this way?"
"..."
Chen Yuran.
So it’s easier this way, is he sure he’s not trying to take advantage of her?
Just as she was about to protest, Li Jing plucked the fur from Ya’er, who was enjoying her snack, and tossed the little one out, imprisoning her in the Qingyuan Fairy Palace where the Heritage Stele was.
Seeing Ya’er suddenly disappear as soon as she was thrown out by Li Jing, Chen Yuran widened her eyes.
"Where’s my cat!?"
Li Jing heard this and his mouth twitched, he quietly said.
"Stop messing around, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future."
Saying this, he reached into Chen Yuran’s pocket, pulled out the squirrel Little Fatty who was sleeping inside, and then frowned.
He had noticed Little Fatty’s presence a long time ago.
But now, looking at it, he found that this squirrel, which had truly experienced the might of heaven, hadn’t advanced much in its realm, but had been fed by Chen Yuran until it was at least three circles fatter.
At this time, Little Fatty was even more dead asleep.
Even being pulled out didn’t wake it up.
Speechlessly, Li Jing waved his hand and threw Little Fatty into the Spirit Spring Eye in Canglong Mountain, letting it soak in it.
Currently, Little Fatty was just at the initial stage of the Three Realm.
To comprehend the Heritage Stele was too much for it, it might as well be nurtured for now.
What Chen Yuran was unhappy with was mainly the loss of her cat.
As for Little Fatty the Squirrel, she had grown tired of playing with it over the past six months.
In fact.
This squirrel, which only ate and slept, had been somewhat spoiled by her, and was not very likeable.
Mainly, she needed to close off her practice and didn’t have time to tune and teach.
Spiritual Beasts, without someone to manage them, were mostly like this.
Seeing Li Jing sending Little Fatty away, Chen Yuran glanced at him, then resignedly leaned against him and hummed.
"Now that there are no more distractions, can you talk about your experiences during this period?"
As Chen Yuran waved her hand to start the talk, Li Jing smiled and began gently.
"Sure, we’ll talk it through slowly."
...
