She Jinxing and Old Man Chai hadn't returned yet. Shang Lin checked the time and saw that it was still early, so he continued working on his test papers. He hadn't finished the final exam papers from the previous middle school, and his ranking was just his own assessment, so there might be some discrepancies.
To save time, Shang Lin wrote very quickly. When he was about to finish the last page, She Jinxing returned. He came back alone; Old Man Chai and the New Year's goods were left with Xing Tian.
Shang Lin immediately said to She Jinxing, "Wait for me for a moment."
"good."
Then She Jinxing entered the Dragon Spirit Tower. If they didn't have to stay outside, they would prefer to stay inside the Dragon Spirit Tower, since the spiritual energy inside was abundant and would help them improve their cultivation.
Even the slightest improvement is good. Given the current cultivation environment in the human world, improving one's cultivation level is as difficult as someone trapped in a swamp trying to climb out.
As soon as She Jinxing entered the tower, he saw Xiaobai rubbing its big head against the God's hand in a coquettish manner, while Ji Xiaoyao sat cross-legged in the trapping formation, seemingly closing his eyes to regulate his breathing.
She Jinxing hurriedly went to the Divine Lord's side and asked, "Master, has General Ji woken up?"
The deity looked at the little brat who had almost buried his head in his arms and gave him a helpless push, but then looked at She Jinxing and said, "He's awake, and he even fought with me."
She Jinxing was startled. "He really turned into... a demon?!" How could a demon be so quiet? Could it be because of the trapping formation?
Little White was pushed by the God, then darted into She Jinxing's arms. It liked the smell even better, so it buried its head in She Jinxing's arms and wrapped its tail around his legs.
If She Jinxing's human form weren't too small for Xiaobai, it probably would have wrapped itself up completely.
Although the deity had just found Xiaobai's clinginess a bit annoying, seeing it practically glued to She Jinxing now made him a little angry. He poked its big head with his finger and complained, "You little ungrateful thing, you were clinging to me just now, and now you're sticking to any young person you see, huh?"
Speaking of which, she looked at She Jinxing with a serious expression and said, "But it is a dragon, and you are also a dragon, so it will indeed like you more."
She Jinxing was both amused and exasperated. The deity had "fallen ill" again. However, his human form was not enough for Xiaobai to stick to, so he immediately transformed into a long tail and wrapped it around the child to coax him.
Little White immediately clung to her, occasionally opening its mouth to bite. Its teeth were like baby teeth to She Jinxing, so they didn't hurt or damage her. Little White wouldn't actually bite her, but it would just smear half of She Jinxing's body with saliva.
The deity glanced at it and suddenly sighed, "After all, it's a cub. It still needs someone to accompany it. I wonder where it lived before, and how it was encountered by humans and successfully captured?"
She Jinxing patted Xiaobai's head with the tip of his tail. "No matter what happened before, we're taking care of it now, so it will definitely grow up healthy and happy."
After persuading the deity, She Jinxing asked again, "So what happened to General Ji?"
"It's alright, he successfully advanced and is currently consolidating his cultivation." It's just that I'm worried, so I want to use the trapping array to keep him trapped for a while longer. After all, evil spirits are difficult to deal with, and they can even read minds; I can't afford to be careless!
"You've advanced!?" She Jinxing was genuinely envious. "That's great! The sect leader also advanced not long ago. When will I be able to advance?"
The deity looked at She Jinxing with great helplessness, "If you advance another level, you will become a dragon. When do you think you can advance? Don't even think about it if you don't make full preparations."
She Jinxing immediately acted cute, "Master, please don't say such hurtful things, okay? You only have me as your disciple, so you must care about my mental health!"
God, "..."
You traitor, can't I even speak the truth?
After a long while, the deity said angrily, "You better tone it down. You're not a newbie, so why are you acting like a baby?"
She Jinxing said confidently, "In front of my master, I will always be a cub."
God, "..."
Who possessed his beloved disciple?
After finishing his test, Shang Lin checked the time. There was no time to check the answers today, so he called She Jinxing out so they could head to Xing Tian's place.
Little White was tired from playing and fell into a deep sleep again. When She Jinxing came out, he couldn't help but sigh, "Little White is indeed a natural dragon. Even after suffering such a serious injury, its recovery ability is extremely strong. When I hatched, I was only as long as a chopstick and was so dark that I couldn't even see it if I wasn't paying attention."
Shang Lin praised without reservation, "That's amazing. To grow from the length of a chopstick to tens of meters now, the difficulties and obstacles you faced are unimaginable. You are simply majestic and domineering."
She Jinxing was suddenly praised by the sect leader and felt a little embarrassed. Just as he was about to say something modest, he heard Shang Lin's phone ring. He had no choice but to go downstairs first.
Shang Lin answered the phone as she went downstairs, and the next second she heard Situ Pojun's deep and somewhat annoyed voice, "Shang Lin, come over here right now." Then he hung up the phone.
Shang Lin stared blankly at the phone that had just been hung up, and subconsciously asked She Jinxing, "Who are we at Director Situ's place? What did we do wrong?"
With her keen hearing, She Jinxing could naturally hear Shang Lin's conversation and immediately transmitted her voice to him, "Could it be that General Ji accidentally destroyed something when he was eating evil spirits on the third basement floor of the office?"
The two walked and talked, and had already reached the car when Shang Lin retorted, "But how many days have passed? Situ Pojun's reaction time is too long!"
She Jinxing got into the car and drove off, saying, "It's possible, but the results are only becoming apparent now."
Shang Lin pulled on the seatbelt and fastened it. "Never mind, let's go check it out first."
She Jinxing immediately called Red Scorpion, "The sect leader and I need to go to the office first, so we'll be a little late. If you're free, could you come over too?"
Red Scorpion, "..."
What do you mean? Isn't it enough that you're by Shang Lin's side? You have to add me too? Are you going to Situ Pojun's office or are you going through fire and water?
But despite her inner complaints, she still had to agree verbally, "Okay."
Shang Lin hadn't expected She Jinxing to call Chi Xie over, and said with a helpless smile, "Are you worried that Situ Pojun will be a threat to me? I'm an alchemist, he shouldn't offend me."
She Jinxing only said, "One should not have the heart to harm others, but one should not be without the heart to guard against others." Moreover, judging from Situ Pojun's tone, what good could possibly come of it?
“Alright,” Shang Lin conceded. “However, Situ Pojun is a full-time worker in the underworld, unlike us rogue cultivators from small sects.”
She Jinxing disagreed, saying, "What's the difference? Does the sect leader really think that being his enemy is being the enemy of the entire Underworld?"
