Xiao Shi instinctively darted out of the space, looked around in confusion, and found that Lin Jingge was alright. It then lazily landed on Lin Jingge's head and lay there.
"Sweet!" Lin Shu gave Lin Jingge a soft smile, letting her rub her.
Grandma Lin couldn't bear to watch any longer and stepped forward to hold Lin Jingge's hand: "Just now I saw that the lotion was pure white and without any impurities, so it should be non-toxic. You don't need to worry too much."
Lin Jingge nodded, loosened her grip, and released Lin Shu.
Even after being released, Lin Shu kept tugging at Lin Jingge's clothes, shouting that she wanted more food.
Just like a spoiled brat throwing a tantrum.
Xiao Shi woke up at this moment and smelled the sweet fragrance in the air; it was spiritual energy!
It immediately perked up and flew to the bowl that was still covered in lotion.
Looking at the marks on the bowl, she was instantly consumed by jealousy, her eyes turning red.
It only dared to smell the aroma and absorb some of the spiritual energy emanating from it, but this brat actually drank a whole bowl.
That's not all; judging from the way he's singing, it seems like he's going to take out a bowl as well.
[You didn't give me any Gege! You haven't fed me for days, I'm starving, starving!] Lin Shu rolled around on the stone table.
It was causing a huge commotion in Lin Jingge's mind.
Lin Jingge looked speechlessly at Xiao Shi, who was willing to sacrifice his image for a little bit of spiritual energy.
In my mind, I could hear Xiao Shi making a fuss, and in my ears, I could hear Lin Shu shouting that she wanted more.
The two voices gave Lin Jingge a headache.
"Alright, alright, I didn't intend to use this by myself anyway," Lin Jingge reassured her.
She had a plan in mind about how to allocate it, but she didn't expect Lin Shu to be even more interested in this than spirit stones.
Grandma Lin looked at him with disapproval.
In her eyes, no one can compare to her granddaughter. Such a precious thing should be used by her alone; dividing it into several portions greatly diminishes its effectiveness.
"Since everyone wants it, let's divide it into four parts. I'll take two parts, and the remaining two parts will go to Grandma and Little Count. I'll go buy containers later."
Lin Jingge made her decision almost immediately, as if she were dividing up something worthless.
This thing is precious, but it can't compare to family.
When we get something good, we should all enjoy it together.
Lin Jingge thought this to herself, but she didn't notice what Grandma Lin was thinking.
Grandma Lin glanced at Lin Shu, somewhat displeased, but seeing that her granddaughter liked the child, she didn't say anything bad. She simply said, "I'm just an old woman, so I don't need to give you any. Jiaojiao, you can keep my share for yourself."
She truly loved her granddaughter, and given her own hopelessness in advancing her career, she felt that giving these treasures to her would be a waste, so she might as well let her granddaughter absorb them.
"Grandma, you don't need to say anything more. Just take it." Lin Jingge pressed down on Grandma Lin's hand and looked straight at her with her eyes down.
Suddenly, a black rat with very agile movements appeared in her line of sight.
The black rat was about the size of a palm, and its fur was shiny black, perhaps because it was fed so well. The black rat scurried up the table with its short legs, flipped into the bowl, and licked the milk that clung to it.
A strange feeling arose in Lin Jingge's heart. Before she could think about it further, there was movement at the door.
The wooden door, which was already flimsy and had even been gnawed by rats with several holes in it, made a loud noise.
"Bang—!" With a loud noise, the wooden door suddenly burst open, and splinters of wood floated in the air. A lot of dust blocked the view, and it took a while for the dust to dissipate.
Two figures appeared at the doorway.
"It's you!" Zi Yan exclaimed, pointing at Lin Jingge.
Then his gaze fell on the bowl where the mouse had crawled into.
"The treasure-hunting rat my sister gave me truly lives up to its reputation." She sighed, then dared not say anything more, and subconsciously looked at Xiao Changyi beside her.
Xiao Changyi stepped forward slowly, looked around, and fixed his gaze on Lin Jingge.
[What the heck?! They actually came to our door?!] Xiao Shi got angry and quickly ran to Lin Jinge's head to hide.
It disliked the mouse in the bowl and immediately absorbed the remaining spiritual energy in the bowl.
The milk, devoid of its magic, only had a sweet taste, but that had already made the mice lose interest in the bowl.
It quickly ran to Zi Yan's side, where Zi Yan picked it up and put it into the beast pouch at her waist, which was specially used to store living creatures.
"Does the young lady have an explanation?"
Xiao Changyi pointed to the empty bowl on the table and asked.
"It's just a sweet treat to appease children. I wonder what explanation you have for this, young master?" Lin Jingge scoffed, remaining calm under pressure. She wasn't intimidated by Xiao Changyi's demeanor and instead retorted, "But you broke into my house and smashed my door. You deserve an explanation!"
Her eyes were cold, her lips were tightly pursed, and she held Lin Shu's hand, subconsciously pushing him behind her.
Now, apart from some soreness all over her body, she has recovered to her peak condition.
She had to be tolerant of someone who was a spiritual master and a spiritual practitioner.
The atmosphere became tense.
Lin Jingge and Xiao Changyi exchanged glances.
Suddenly, Xiao Changyi laughed, and the tense atmosphere instantly vanished.
“Miss, there’s no need to be so nervous. I’m not here to hold you accountable,” Xiao Changyi said, softening his tone.
He glanced around, then sat down on the stone bench without any hesitation. He acted as if he owned the place.
Lin Jingge couldn't immediately discern the other party's intentions, her gaze filled with suspicion and uncertainty.
"Grandma, bring the book inside." Lin Jingge pushed the book in her hand toward Grandma Lin.
Grandma Lin glanced at Lin Jingge several times, knowing that she would become a burden to Lin Jingge here, so she did not insist, and then pulled Lin Shu to the room.
Lin Shu peeked out of the room and looked at the situation in the courtyard.
At this moment, Lin Jingge also sat down.
The three of them occupied one stone bench each, and on the table in the middle was the empty bowl that Lin Shu had just finished drinking the milk from.
The lotion was almost completely licked clean by the rats, and the remaining spiritual energy was absorbed by Xiaozhi, making it impossible to tell what had been inside before.
"Speak, why are you causing trouble here?" Lin Jingge placed her hands on the table, clasped them together, and crossed her index fingers.
Although his cultivation was not as profound as Xiao Changyi's, his aura was no less impressive.
As fellow spirit masters, even if the other party reaches the peak of spirit mastery, it is not easy for them to suppress her.
"I haven't even asked the young lady's surname yet..."
"No need for that. We're not familiar with each other, so just say what you want to say." Lin Jingge smiled, showing no intention of revealing her name.
Xiao Changyi was taken aback by the man's unromantic remark, but he quickly recovered.
“Girl, that lotion is very important to us.” He stopped beating around the bush with Lin Jingge.
Although the beautiful woman in front of him was very attractive, it wasn't enough to make him give up that good thing.
"Lotion?" Lin Jingge feigned surprise: "The larval milk?"
"Exactly."
"Didn't I give you the larvae? Now you're coming to ask me for them again. What kind of logic is that?!"
