Jiang Wuhen nodded in agreement. Naturally, he understood the value and function of the crystal heart better than anyone else.
“That’s amazing! Wouldn’t I be able to catch up to you soon then?” Lan Xinyu’s eyes were practically sparkling in excitement as she looked at Ling Chuxi in anticipation. Catching up to Ling Chuxi had unknowingly become the biggest goal in her life.
“I forgot to mention that I also saved a piece for myself,” Ling Chuxi added smugly.
“Ugh…” Lan Xinyu’s gaze instantly dulled and her smile turned into a pout. Even if Ling Chuxi did not use the crystal heart, it would still have been difficult to catch up to her, but it didn’t stop her from dreaming. Ling Chuxi was just an abnormal being.
They put away the crystal hearts, keeping them hidden. They didn’t need to thank her—they were true friends and such words were unnecessary. As long as they treasured those crystal hearts, it was good enough.
Knowing that Ling Chuxi had consumed quite a bit of True Qi, none of them stayed for too long, and left after saying goodnight.
Ling Chuxi took out another crystal heart, and condensed her True Qi with a gold needle to carefully create a hole in the middle of it.
“All done.” Ling Chuxi put a silk rope through the hole, then dragged Little Red out of her pocket to tie it around his neck.
‘What are you doing?!’ Little Red was sound asleep when he was suddenly picked up by Ling Chuxi. He squeaked in shock and instinctively put up a struggle, but was no match for Ling Chuxi. With his old and new injuries, he couldn’t resist at all.
“It’s really beautiful.” Ling Chuxi felt that it was not tied tightly enough and tightened it slightly.
‘Argh, I’m not a pet!’ Little Red knew that human pet owners liked to tie bells around their pet’s necks. He had always found it funny, but never expected that it would one day happen to him! He started squeaking in anger and raised his paws to claw her, but stopped suddenly as a stream of pure spiritual energy continuously poured into his body from the White Jade Crystal Heart.
‘It’s a White Jade Crystal Heart… She actually prepared a piece of the White Jade Crystal Heart for me!’ Feeling the spiritual power released by the crystal heart, Little Red was stunned.
“Thank you very much for today. With the crystal heart, you can recover quickly.” Ling Chuxi looked at her masterpiece in satisfaction. The Crystal Heart was not big, and with the tightening of the silk rope, it fell comfortably into Little Red’s fiery fur. Looking at it, it was only noticeable as something crystal clear and beautiful, but it couldn’t be identified as anything more than that.
Little Red suddenly felt a little lost. She had actually given him a piece of the White Jade Crystal Heart? Didn’t she know how valuable it was?
“What’s wrong? Are your injuries flaring up again?” Ling Chuxi got worried seeing Little Red’s blank gaze. She had fed him quite a few medicinal pills, so the injuries should be under control. Why was he reacting like this?
‘Forget it, it’s just a piece of White Jade Crystal Heart. It’s not that great anyway. Since she has been pretty good to me, I won’t kill her so soon in the future. Let her keep her reputation.’ Little Red persuaded himself.
“Are your injuries hurting you again?” Of course, Ling Chuxi didn’t know what he was thinking. She waved her hand in front of him a few times, but he still didn’t respond, so she looked him over. Of course, she also ‘accidentally’ pinched his fluffy little rump in the process.
