Chapter 62 The True Colors of a Witch
Lin Qiu'er half-squatted on the stool, then impatiently stood up, her two front paws scratching at the dining table, just enough to reach the rice bowl.
Seeing her looking so hungry, Lin Ye couldn't help but laugh and gently picked up a piece of fish and placed it on the small plate in front of her.
Lin Qiu'er excitedly leaned forward, sniffed it, and then began to eat with relish. Its little head swayed left and right as it chewed, and its tail swayed happily from side to side.
After eating and drinking their fill, the group paid the bill and left.
After leaving the restaurant, the group headed straight for their new house in the south of the city.
Lin Qiu'er's round belly looked like it contained a small ball, and it was now lazily lying on Lin Ye's shoulder, as if it had found the most comfortable harbor in the world.
She squinted her eyes, making satisfied purring sounds in her throat, her furry body rising and falling slightly with her breath.
Occasionally, it would move its little head and rub against Lin Ye's cheek to express its dependence and affection.
That languid demeanor seemed to say, "Just let me stay here quietly, and don't let anyone bother me."
But things rarely go as planned.
The wicked pet owner couldn't stand seeing her so relaxed.
Lin Ye grabbed her by the back of the neck, put her on the ground, and said, "You should exercise more after meals, otherwise you'll really gain weight."
Lin Qiu'er first let out a sob in dissatisfaction, then trotted to catch up with Lin Ye.
……
The afternoon sun shone on the bustling street as Ning Rongrong strolled along casually.
Suddenly, a familiar figure came into her view. It was the person she had only met once, but who had always lingered in her heart. The person was accompanied by a small animal.
Ning Rongrong's eyes lit up instantly, and she took a step forward without hesitation to chase after him.
Her steps quickened, and her heartbeat grew increasingly rapid.
Finally, she caught up with the man, but because she had run too fast, she could only bend over, her hands on her knees, panting heavily, unable to say a word, just breathing heavily.
Seeing that she was about to faint, Lin Ye subconsciously moved away a little. Was this person trying to scam him?
After Ning Rongrong's breathing calmed down a bit, he asked with a hint of doubt, "Are you... alright?"
Ning Rongrong's eyes showed a hint of panic, and her hands unconsciously fiddled with the hem of her clothes, as if she was trying to hide her inner unease.
A gentle breeze blew by, and a few strands of hair fell down. She awkwardly raised her hand and gently tucked the hair behind her ear.
Finally, she stood before Lin Ye, a touch of shyness on her face. She raised her hand slightly and said, her voice a little breathless, "Hi, we meet again! What a coincidence!"
"Yeah, it is quite a coincidence." Lin Ye nodded, thinking to himself that the way this young lady struck up a conversation was rather awkward.
This made Ning Rongrong feel even more embarrassed.
To ease the awkwardness, her gaze fell on Lin Qiu'er, so she bent down and tried to touch Lin Qiu'er.
Unexpectedly, Lin Qiu'er, who had let him touch her yesterday, turned her back on him. Her hair stood on end, and she let out a low growl.
Ning Rongrong was slightly taken aback, then took out a paper-wrapped chicken leg from her pet's soul tool and handed it over.
However, she miscalculated this time; Lin Qiu'er didn't buy it at all.
Lin Ye, who was standing nearby, said, "Don't worry about her. She just ate and isn't hungry yet."
He paused for a moment, then said, "By the way, didn't you get into Shrek Academy? What are you doing here? Don't you have classes?"
Ning Rongrong said, "The teacher said the first class is tonight."
As she spoke, her pretty face flushed slightly, and her eyes darted around nervously.
Because she skipped school, Flanders made her run 20 laps around the village, but she didn't even finish half of it before running to Soto.
To put it bluntly, Ning Rongrong just wanted to slack off. If someone else found out, she wouldn't care at all. "This young lady is just being lazy, what can you do about it?"
But Lin Ye was different; this peer completely outshone her in every way.
For some strange reason, Ning Rongrong just didn't want to show her cunning and deceitful side in front of Lin Ye, because that would make her feel like a bad student.
It's as if a little voice in your head is saying, "Look at others, then look at yourself, what reason do you have not to work hard?"
Sensing the awkward atmosphere, Ning Rongrong quickly changed the subject.
"By the way, you don't know, there's a particularly lewd food-type soul master in our academy. His soul spells are absolutely disgusting."
"And there was this fat guy, a grown man, who still wet his pants..."
"..."
And so, the two chatted awkwardly all the way to Nancheng. When Lin Ye arrived at his own doorstep, Ning Rongrong reluctantly said goodbye.
"I'm going back to the academy now, see you next time."
"Okay, see you later."
"By the way, I don't know your name yet. My name is Ning Rongrong. What's yours?"
"Lin Ye".
After replying, Lin Ye turned and went into his own courtyard.
As the vermilion-colored curtains were drawn, it seemed as if the courtyard was being separated from the outside world, becoming two separate realms.
Ning Rongrong felt a little disappointed. She had been the one to take the initiative to start conversations the whole way, but the other person rarely responded, as if they didn't want to talk to her.
This was the first time she had ever been so cold to someone.
Back in the sect, everyone around me was eager to curry favor with me.
Was it because her purpose was too obvious? Ning Rongrong couldn't help but think to herself.
……
When it was time to gather in the evening, Ning Rongrong was immediately pointed out by Flander for not running 20 laps because she was lazy.
Finally, ignoring Ning Rongrong's embarrassed expression, Flander spoke forcefully: "Now, I'll give you two choices."
First, pack your things and leave immediately. You don't deserve to be a part of this place.
Second, prove to me that you are qualified to stay here, and that you have the determination not to break the rules again.
Ning Rongrong laughed, a laugh full of disdain. "Flander, who do you think you are? Just a mere Soul Saint."
Tang San and the others were dumbfounded. They hadn't noticed anything amiss before. Even Oscar, who had been beaten down by Ning Rongrong while running together and already knew a bit about her, was now incredulous.
Such a gentle-looking girl, how could she say such a thing?
At this moment, Ning Rongrong's face was full of disdain, exuding an air of superiority.
Faced with Flander's challenge, Ning Rongrong revealed her spoiled and domineering side to everyone for the first time.
"Trying to get rid of me? Not so easy. Now that I'm here, I have no intention of leaving early. Flander, I advise you to mind your own business. Otherwise, the consequences will be more than you can bear."
Flander smiled calmly, "That's right, I'm just a minor Soul Saint, but you're just a minor Great Soul Master. And don't forget, your Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda can only be cultivated to the Soul Saint level at most."
"This is my territory, I'm in charge. Mu Bai, pack this young lady's things and see her off."
"Flander, how dare you? You're the first person in my entire life who's ever dared to treat me like this."
