Chapter 772: Chapter 772: I Just Want Hanhan to be My Future Companion
Bai Chuwei suddenly gripped the ginseng in her hand, sounding a bit gloomy as she said, “You can’t blame me, you know. It just constantly showed such powerful innate talent and familiarity with the ancient world.”
How could she not misunderstand?
After the war of the gods ended, besides her, everyone in Shendu had perished, turned to dust, leaving her alone, so familiar with her, no wonder she was so misunderstood.
Bai Chuwei put down the ginseng and abruptly stood up, walking towards the window. Leaning on the balcony railing, she looked outside to see Xue Qiu smugly sitting on top of the million-headed creature. Using its smaller size to its advantage, it squeaked mockingly, “Stupid big snake, come and eat me.”
A million, enraged, shook its head furiously: ‘Ssss, ssss, ssss–‘
Xue Qiu: ‘Hahaha, careful not to get a concussion.’
Bai Chuwei withdrew her gaze, smiling as she explained, “I awakened Spiritual Enlightenment in the Little Fox, and after that, its cultivation progressed rapidly. It even helped me build this Sky City… Only when it was nearly complete did I find out it wasn’t what I thought, so then–”
Bai Chuwei shrugged her shoulders, holding out both hands: “It got upset and ran away, never to return.”
The old ancestor had lived for over five thousand years, proud for five thousand years, believing she was never in the wrong with every action she took, but this time she truly was.
So, more than twenty years ago, she came down the mountain. She had no other intention but to look for that Little Fox, and then she ran into Duan Xiuqi.
She knew better than anyone that ordinary people might have reincarnations, but gods wouldn’t have them again, for eternity belonged to the heavens and earth.
“I found Xue Qiu after your third brother caused me heart trouble and I went back to the mountain. It was in a pitiful state too.” Nᴇw novel chapters are publɪshed on novel⸺fire.net
After treating it, Bai Chuwei wanted to release Xue Qiu back into the forest, but the stupid hamster didn’t leave and hid in the vegetable garden of her home on Yunwu Mountain. It would sneak a bite of vegetable leaves whenever it got hungry.
During those days, a heavy rain fell, drenching Xue Qiu in the garden until it trembled from cold, so Bai Chuwei picked it up and took it home as a pet.
But once granted Spiritual Enlightenment, it was nothing like that fox at all!
Always eating and lazy, its favorite pastime was to loaf around the house, and even after twenty years, it still didn’t know the Transformation Technique–so foolish that the old ancestor couldn’t bear to look anymore.
Bai Chuwei turned back to notice Duan Feihan’s expression, her eyes suddenly flashing as she patted his shoulder, “Don’t worry, he has long been dead and turned to ash, not even a grave to his name. Besides, I never looked to my sworn brother as a romantic partner.”
Moving closer to him, she exhaled softly, “All I want is for Hanhan to be my future lifelong companion.”
The corners of Duan Feihan’s cool lips slowly formed a thin smile, his voice deep, “I am deeply honored.”
Bai Chuwei patted his shoulder, “You should feel honored.”
In over five thousand years, there had been plenty of men chasing after her, yet she had never agreed to any of them.
No longer wanting to watch the pathetic fight between Xue Qiu and a million, Bai Chuwei hummed a tune and turned to walk towards the desk, murmuring, “I estimate that it will take over ten days to develop the medicine to unlock the Spiritual Array.”
She’ll probably have to return to Yunwu Mountain for seclusion.
Duan Feihan’s slender fingers grasped a lock of Bai Chuwei’s hair, the smooth strands sliding softly through his fingertips: “Shall I accompany you?”
Bai Chuwei immediately shook her head, “You don’t need to accompany me or provide protection during my seclusion, I’ll manage on my own. You’ve just taken over Dark Night, you should sort that out first.”
Bai Chuwei stopped speaking for a moment, a smile suddenly playing on her lips, “Hanhan, remember to check the cultivation resources within Dark Night. Be careful, in case someone from your own ranks is taking them to give to outsiders.”
