Chapter 443: Succubus (13)

Wen Wan said she understood, and that the spirit beast might be the male protagonist's soul. After all, according to the setting, the spirit beast formed from the immortal's soul is completely different from the immortal, and can even be said to be independent. For Wen Wan, this was simply a matter of getting something for free. She wanted to see what kind of thing that spirit beast was.

Afterwards, her senior sister took Wen Wan to the disciples' dormitory, where Wen Wan put her things down and began to pack.

A single room for one person—it has to be said, that's incredibly luxurious.

Soon, Wen Wan was taken to her workplace by her senior sister. Looking at the huge patch of spiritual plants in front of her, she saw that they were not ordinary spiritual plants and herbs, but rather exceptionally delicate and precious ones.

If it were eaten and wasted, Gu Yuanxin might not feel sorry for it, but Wen Wan would definitely feel heartbroken.

Senior sister: "Your task is to look after this place."

Wen Wan: "Don't worry, senior sister. Even if I'm gone, these spiritual plants will definitely be fine."

Senior sister: "..."

Senior sister left quickly, and Wen Wan began to record each of the spiritual plants in the area, because it would be bad to lose any of them.

After finishing the record, Wen Wan began to look through the array book given to her by her master. Yes, Wen Wan did not know which array was suitable, after all, she had only been learning for a short time. Fortunately, this complete book of arrays saved her life.

If others knew that Wen Wan was learning on the job, they probably wouldn't have let her take office.

Since the formation hadn't been set up yet, Wen Wan planned to stay here that night. Anyway, Mingyuan Sect was warm in spring and cool in summer, and the temperature difference between day and night wasn't significant. Wen Wan went back and brought a small quilt to spread out, then went to the canteen to pack a few side dishes, bought a few packs of beef jerky for her fellow disciples, and picked some fruit.

I was reading a book while eating.

It felt exceptionally comfortable.

System: [Host, aren't you being a bit too careless? If someone finds out, you're in big trouble.]

Wen Wan: "I'm so dedicated, I'm going to stay up all night tending to all these flowers and plants, what's wrong with eating something? Are you trying to starve me to death?"

system:【……】

Alright, whatever makes the host happy.

Night fell quickly, and Wen Wan took out a luminous pearl and hung it on the tree above her head, feeling very happy.

Nothing happened on the first night.

Everything is safe.

The next day, Wen Wan began to help the spiritual plants grow better. This was an essential skill for a pharmacist, and Wen Wan was particularly adept at it. According to Master Yuan Hui, she was naturally affinity-bound to plants and was a born pharmacist.

Why.

If Master Yuanhui knew her identity, he would probably be devastated.

It's practically impossible for a demon to gain affinity with a spirit plant, but clearly, that's exactly what happened.

The senior sister came to check on her the next day, found that Wen Wan had done a good job, and then went back.

In the following days, Wen Wan guarded the spiritual plants day and night, and found a suitable protective formation, so she began to practice it.

Finally, after half a month, Wen Wan set up a medium-level protective array. Unless it was a spirit beast transformed from Gu Yuan's soul that broke in, 99% of the other things would not be able to damage the spirit plants.

Wen Wan went back to her room with peace of mind.

I come here occasionally to water the plants and get rid of pests; I live a very leisurely life.

Aside from receiving voice messages from her two masters every day, Wen Wan often disconnects. Even when she does, she'll just give perfunctory replies. Surely her two masters wouldn't bother coming to the Gan Palace to arrest her? Is she the kind of person who is studious and hardworking? Of course not.

Sleeping until she naturally wakes up is the laid-back life she's always dreamed of.

Then suddenly, the target of the mission bumped into her. Wen Wan heard a bang in her sleep, and rushed over to find a beautiful kitten trying to gnaw on her spiritual plant.

Wen Yan: "..."

"The male lead?"

System: [Yes.]

Wen Wan rushed over and swiftly caught the cat that had stolen the food in her arms. Looking at the three or four spirit plants that had been destroyed, Wen Wan didn't know whether to be happy or angry. She was happy that the mission target had run into her, but she was angry that the things she had raised as treasures had been chewed up by the mission target.

My senior is coming tomorrow, and I don't know how to explain it to her.

After all, it's impossible to hand over this little ancestor.

The kitten struggled, and it was quite strong, but Wen Wan held it tightly. "If you dare to move again, I'll take you to see the Immortal Venerable."

As expected, the kitten quieted down upon hearing the words "Immortal Venerable." Its pair of bright blue eyes stared pitifully at Wen Wan, causing her to instantly break down. She even subconsciously forgot the kitten's true identity and, relying on instinct, rushed closer to it, began stroking its fur, and started sucking on it—sucking frantically, insanely, to the point of madness.

system:【……】

I can't bear to look! My host is like this, it's really unbearable to watch!

The kitten went from being confused and trying to escape at first, to being petted until it could only lie down and give up. Besides, it was also inexplicably comfortable, so it just lay flat.

After Wen Wan had absorbed enough, she began to process the spiritual plants.

"You really went all out, several of them are gone." Wen Wan pulled them out and then quickly destroyed the evidence. "We can't let anyone else see this, or you and I will both turn into barbecued pork."

According to Wen Wan's opinion, it's normal for spiritual plants to be damaged during cultivation.

So as long as she disguises herself well, no one can find out. Then she looked at the kitten and said, "Only you, me, heaven and earth know about this. If you dare to tell anyone, I'll pluck your fur off."

Kitten: "..."

After finishing, Wen Wan took out her snacks from the storage bag. The kitten was very interested in the smell of the jerky, and Wen Wan was generous with it. The kitten ate happily.

Wen Wan began to implement education.

"Isn't this tastier than spirit plants? You prefer grass to meat, you're a disgrace to the cat world, so how about eating meat from now on?"

The kitten doesn't meow.

Wen Wan reached out and took back the beef jerky. "If you know, just act cute and call out to me."

Kitten: "..."

Finally, it let out a sticky moan, and Wen Wan's heart melted. Then she started sucking it in like crazy.

Finally, her senses returned, and she remembered her purpose: "Come here at this time tomorrow night, and I'll give you even more delicious food, okay?"

The kitten left after it finished eating.

Wen Wan quickly went to Li Sha's residence and made an appointment with Li Sha to go see the spiritual plants she had planted. On the surface, that was the arrangement, but the real purpose was to let her see the kitten.

This was one of the opportunities that led her to meet the male lead, so she couldn't be careless about it.

Lisa agreed.

The next evening, Wen Wan brought Li Sha to the Gan Temple, but after waiting all night, that heartless kitten refused to show up.

Wen Yan: "..."

They agreed to continue the next day.

Lisa did not refuse at all. Although she did not understand, A-Yuan was her friend, and she would not refuse her friend.

However, after not seeing him for three consecutive days, Wen Wan felt incredibly embarrassed.

He apologized to Lisa and then gave her a bunch of snacks.

Although Li Sha didn't feel anything, Wen Wan herself felt guilty.

On the fourth day, the kitten appeared. Wen Wan was furious and picked it up, demanding, "What do you mean? Did you do this on purpose?"

Kitten: "Meow?"

He looked at me like he had no idea what I was talking about.

Wen Wan grabbed the cat and ran straight to Li Sha's place. Li Sha was woken up late at night and looked at Wen Wan with some confusion. "Wen Wan, what are you doing?"

Wen Wan handed the kitten to Li Sha, saying, "Here you go."

Lisa: "???"

Li Sha suddenly stepped back, looking at the cat in front of her with a terrified expression, while the kitten also quickly retreated, desperately trying to grab Wen Wan's sleeve.

Wen Yan: "..."

Lisa: "A-Yuan, what are you doing? I'm a little scared."

Wen Wan: This isn't right! The plot isn't developing correctly.

“I was bitten by a cat when I was a child, so I’m afraid of cats. Could you take it away first?”

Li Sha was on the verge of tears, and Wen Wan didn't seem to be faking it; she was genuinely scared. Wen Wan looked bewildered as she picked up the kitten and said, "I'm sorry, I didn't know you were afraid of cats. I'll take it with me first, and you should get some rest."

Wen Wan left Li Sha's residence, looking at the cat in her arms, feeling completely lost.

"System, what's going on? How could the female lead be afraid of cats? Aren't they inseparable?"

System: [Host, when the female lead encountered the cat, she was in extreme danger and vulnerability. Even though she was afraid, she was also touched by the cat's kindness, which is why she gradually accepted it. It's no wonder she was terrified when you suddenly hugged her like that.]

Wen Yan: "..."

I miscalculated.

"Then what should we do?"

Be natural, don't force it. If you're meant to be, you're destined to fall in love.

Wen Wan: "Is your library bureau's system so free and arbitrary in assigning tasks?"

system:【……】

Finally, against my will, I said, "We are people-oriented."

Wen Yan: "..."

After that, Wen Wan didn't force it, but she still tried to make Li Sha slowly believe that cats wouldn't hurt people.

Whether Li Sha's thoughts have changed while petting the cat is currently unknown, but Wen Wan has certainly become addicted.

When the senior sister who came to check saw it, looking at the cat in Wen Wan's arms, it was the first time Wen Wan had seen a second expression on this usually icy senior sister's face.

It was surprise, though she quickly concealed it, but Wen Wan still sensed it.

"Does Senior Sister know Mimi?"

"Mimi?"

Wen Wan held up the cat. "This is it. It no longer eats spiritual plants, so you can rest assured, Senior Sister."

The senior student looked at the cat and said, "Cats aren't allowed here, I'll take it with me."

Wen Yan: "???"

Seeing that her senior sister was about to come over and hug the cat, the kitten slipped out of Wen Wan's arms in a flash and disappeared in the next second.

Wen Yan: "..."

Senior Sister's expression wasn't good. Wen Wan suddenly realized and asked the system, "System, this beautiful senior sister, could she know the cat's true identity? Could she... like Gu Yuan?"

System: [I don't know, maybe.]

"Tsk tsk, she's really lucky with the ladies, such a beautiful senior sister," Wen Wan exclaimed.

system:【……】

For a while afterward, the senior sister kept coming to check on Wen Wan's work. At first, Wen Wan was afraid that she hadn't done something well, but in the end, she just gave up and even invited the senior sister to eat the beef jerky she had brought. Her real intention was not to see her, the junior sister, but to find the cat. Unfortunately, Mimi was a typical cunning cat, and she came and went without leaving any trace.
