Chapter 94 Jokes (1)
"Don't go! Explain yourself! Why am I not smart?" Ji Rong flapped her wings and followed behind.
Upon hearing this, Gu Qingqing paused, her four paws still.
Normally, Ji Rong would never have answered like that.
Gu Qingqing thought to himself, he never expected that his casual trick would be so successful. Ji Rong's condition was really problematic, she was indeed not smart anymore.
So, Gu Qingqing turned her head and stared at her with her narrow eyes, and slowly said, "First, you need to merge your three bodies into one and become complete before we talk."
She squatted down on the spot and said, "Go ahead, we'll wait for you here."
Upon hearing this, Ji Rong quickly nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go right away."
But I'm really hungry now. After I've eaten my fill, I'll become one. You just wait.
As Ji Rong flapped her wings and hopped step by step toward the tree trunk, Gu Qingqing turned to Ji Zhuang and said, "Look, your sister isn't very smart after separating herself, is she? We cultivators have readily available spiritual energy, so how could we be so hungry?"
Ji Zhuang thought for a moment and nodded.
Ji Rong usually has some strange ideas, but she is cautious.
She's never been particularly good or thorough, but she's never done anything like this in all these years. This impulsive act is so unlike her.
After a while, seeing no movement ahead, Gu Qingqing pulled Ji Zhuang outside again, saying, "Let's go take a look. She's not in a good mood right now, and we can't mine this mine anyway, so it's more important to stay and watch over her."
They walked to Ji Rong's tree, but Ji Rong was nowhere to be seen.
Gu Qingqing and Ji Zhuang searched around and finally found Ji Rong in a pile of weeds, scratching incessantly with her claws, only her buttocks showing.
Seeing Ji Rong's behavior as if she were an ordinary bird, Ji Zhuang hurriedly stepped forward and pulled Ji Rong away, asking anxiously, "Sister, what are you doing?"
Ji Rong flapped her wings, kicked her brother Ji Zhuang away, and continued digging on the ground.
After digging out a section of tender white root, she carefully pecked it out and ate it like a precious treasure. Then she turned to her brother and said, "Brother, the grass roots here are delicious, but I've already eaten them all. You should go find some elsewhere."
Ji Zhuang opened his mouth wide, then closed it again.
Gu Qingqing took two steps forward and asked Ji Rong, "We were waiting for you up ahead. How could you forget that we came here to eat grass roots to fill our stomachs?"
"Wait for me?" Ji Rong asked in confusion, "When? I've been eating here the whole time."
Gu Qingqing and Ji Zhuang exchanged a glance after hearing this.
Ji Rong forgets what she said in a moment; it's as if her brain doesn't even register it.
So Gu Qingqing shook her body, a plan forming in her mind, and coaxed, "We just said we were going to go into the cave to eat something delicious, so that you could merge your three bodies into one, otherwise you won't go far."
"No." Ji Rong raised her head and patted her belly with her wings. "The roots here are the most delicious, and I'm already full. Now I'm going to sleep."
Hearing this, Ji Zhuang quickly pointed to the tree trunk not far away and said, "Sister, that's a good place to sleep. You used to like it the most."
Ji Rong glanced at Ji Zhuang's paw, then snarled, "I don't like it. Who wants to be a wooden stake? I had no choice before, but now I'm perfectly normal. I never want to go there again."
After saying that, Ji Rong squatted down on the grass and used her beak to weave grass to build a nest. In no time, a simple nest was built.
Ji Rong shifted comfortably inside, then tucked her head into the wing and fell asleep.
Every day when Ji Rong wakes up, she only has a vague concept of the previous day, but as long as Gu Qingqing and Ji Zhuang coax her back to the tree trunk, she will cleverly hide away.
Gu Qingqing sighed to Ji Zhuang in private, "Your sister seems like a good person most of the time, but I never expected her to become so difficult to take care of once she loses her senses."
Ji Zhuang lowered his eyes and said with concern, "It is against common sense for a real tree to grow on the spirit platform. I wonder if she really doesn't feel any pain on a daily basis?"
Upon hearing this, Gu Qingqing turned to Ji Zhuang and said, "You rest for a while, I'll go and watch over her." Ji Zhuang nodded.
Last night, Ji Rong, who had slept all day, refused to rest. Full of energy, she ran to her tree trunk and dug at the soil, which made Gu Qingqing and Ji Zhuang try to stop her.
Ji Zhuang's eyes became bloodshot from being flapped by Ji Rong's wings.
Gu Qingqing didn't tolerate Ji Rong's behavior. She swung her tail and beat Ji Rong up, but before she was finished, Ji Rong started crying sadly. Ji Zhuang said, "Sister Qingqing, go and rest. I'll stay with her."
Gu Qingqing then ran away as if fleeing a disaster.
Ji Zhuang continued to stop her, and Ji Rong continued to hit her brother. After much persuasion, Ji Zhuang and Ji Rong finally dug out five small roots of different lengths from under the tree trunk.
Ji Rong took a bite and found it unpalatable, so she stopped digging at the tree trunk. Then she started fussing about wanting to eat the grass roots.
However, after Ji Rong had been digging for more than half a month, there were no grass roots left in this place. With no other option, Ji Zhuang had to take his sister to dig in a more distant place.
Since Ji Rong couldn't go, Ji Zhuang told her to squat on the ground and wait for him. He was worried that Ji Rong would run away, so he dug up a few twigs and brought them to Ji Rong to eat.
After digging for half the night, Ji Rong was full and said she wanted to go back to sleep, which exhausted Ji Zhuang.
Gu Qingqing came to a stone and carved another line on it with her paw. Today is the twentieth sunrise. She still has to wait for the three hundred and fortyth sunrise before Jiao Jue and the others arrive.
Gu Qingqing jumped around the seal, but couldn't find a single opening. She could only curse the great shamans of the witch lineage in her heart, cursing them for building such a strong seal, making her suffer like a prisoner. It was too much!
Thus, Gu Qingqing and Ji Zhuang took turns accompanying Ji Rong as she dug through the grass and dug holes, and gradually they made new discoveries.
Ji Rong wasn't completely forgetful; at least she remembered the food very clearly.
Since that night when she tasted it, Ji Rong never dug up the roots of her tree again.
On the thirtieth day, Gu Qingqing came to carve on the stone again. As she carved, she thought to herself, "These days are so tiring and slow. When will it end?"
Just as he was thinking this, he suddenly heard a slight commotion. The seal in front of him was like a lake that had been stirred up, with layers of golden runes appearing.
Gu Qingqing quickly winked at Ji Zhuang, signaling him to keep an eye on Ji Rong, while simultaneously clenching her paws in prayer.
It must be the witch clan who have come. She doesn't want to live such a miserable life all alone for even a day longer!
Once the seal was broken, the dragon head of the Horned Jade peered inside.
When Gu Qingqing saw that the visitor was Jiao Jue, she was overwhelmed with joy. She leaped to Jiao Jue in her magic fox form and cried out with tears in her eyes, "I've finally been waiting for you..."
Before she could finish speaking, Jiao Jue disgustedly moved Gu Qingqing away with his claws. He looked around and saw that there was not a blade of grass in the yard, only dirt and stones everywhere, a complete mess.
His heart tightened, and he shouted outside, "Witch, come pick me up again next month." Then he quickly climbed back inside.
As soon as Jiaojue entered the sealed interior of Tuifeng Island, its dragon body sank straight down a large section.
He looked down and saw that the ground was covered with holes, and the exposed stone slabs were also covered with claw marks.
He let out a long howl and roared, "You little brat, come out and see me!"
But Ji Rong did not appear.
Ji Zhuang suddenly appeared out of nowhere, looking haggard and panicked. He flew to Jiao Jue's ear and whispered, "Brother Jinlong, don't shout. Ji Rong is just asleep."
Jiao Jue was about to get angry, so he sprayed a mouthful of hot water into the air and prepared to shout again.
