Feeling Ling Chuxi’s warm embrace, Zhen Ye was stunned. He just quietly curled up in Ling Chuxi’s arms, not putting up a struggle anymore.
Just like that, Ling Chuxi brought her new pet, Little Red, back.
This time, Ling Chuxi sat on the cable car to slowly go back down. “Little Red, look. In the future, this will be your home. Isn’t it beautiful?” Ling Chuxi hugged Zhen Ye as she sat on the cable car and looked down.
Zhen Ye grumbled silently, but he had to admit that this place was indeed very beautiful. The disciples that were guarding the cable car all bowed when they saw Ling Chuxi, secretly wondering why the sect master was bringing back a squirrel to be a pet.
When Su Xiu’er and Lan Xinyu saw Ling Chuxi hugging Zhen Ye, they all surprised.
“Eh, Chuxi, where did you get this little squirrel from? It’s so cute.” Lan Xinyu’s eyes lit up as she looked at Zhen Ye in Ling Chuxi’s arms.
“Sect master, it’s so cute! Let me hug it.” Su Xiu’er was now calling Ling Chuxi ‘sect master’. Now that the Golden Pill Sect was established, they had to act like members of a sect. As Su Xiu’er spoke, she reached out to touch Zhen Ye’s ear.
Zhen Ye was just about to lose it when Ling Chuxi blocked Su Xiu’er’s hand with a smile. “It still has injuries. Wait till I cure it first.”
“Ah, it’s injured?” Su Xiu’er exclaimed in surprise and Lan Xinyu also looked at Zhen Ye curiously. “How did it get injured? Who did it? How could someone be so mean to such a cute little squirrel?”
“I don’t know, but it was lucky to have met me. I will cure it and then feed it until it’s fat. I even gave it a very nice name. For it to have met a master like me, it surely is a blessing obtained from its past life,” Ling Chuxi boasted.
“Ah? What did you name it?” Lan Xinyu and Su Xiu’er asked at the same time.
“Little Red,” Ling Chuxi declared proudly.
Lan Xinyu and Su Xiu’er both fell silent, then looked at the little squirrel in Ling Chuxi’s arms sympathetically. How was meeting Ling Chuxi a blessing obtained from its past life? It probably owed Ling Chuxi money in its past life. Yes, it surely must have owed her a lot of money.
“Furthermore, after making it plump, it will be useful if there comes a time when there is no food,” Ling Chuxi pinched Little Red’s butt and said happily. “It seems to be a little fatter than the last time we met, but its meat is still too little.”
Lan Xinyu and Su Xiu’er stared at Ling Chuxi with wide eyes, then quietly looked at Little Red who was struggling in Ling Chuxi’s arms. They were silently sending it condolences. This little squirrel must have done something to Ling Chuxi in its past life, that’s why it was being tortured by Ling Chuxi like this in this lifetime.
Little Red was cursing Ling Chuxi over and over again in his mind. ‘Agh… my innocence! Ling Chuxi, you witch, you touched my butt again! I will have my revenge, just you wait, I will definitely have my revenge!’
“Eh, is it embarrassed? Could it be that it is a male?” Ling Chuxi looked at Little Red struggling in her arms and wondered. “Let me take a look.” Ling Chuxi turned Little Red over as she checked its gender.
“Eep!” Little Red let out a miserable chirp and with a roll of its eyes, fainted on the spot.
Honestly speaking, when he saw Ling Chuxi, Zhen Ye had initially sighed in relief. He considered himself lucky because meeting her meant that he would not die.
However, right before he lost consciousness, the only thing going through Zhen Ye’s mind was regret. Meeting Ling Chuxi was not lucky, dying would definitely have been better. Meeting her was like living and wishing you were dead!
