They would be together for a long time. He couldn’t possibly be without a name, right?
“Then let’s go with Little Jiu!” The little fox thought about it for a moment, then decided not to hesitate and agreed to his name.
Hua Shu took a deep look at it and saw that moment of hesitation. Her instincts told her that Little Jiu should have a name, but she didn’t know why he deliberately hid it.
Hua Shu did not care if Little Jiu did not say anything. She continued to ask, “How do I get out?”
“As long as you think about getting out, you’ll be able to return to the place you came in from.” Little Jiu lay on a soft cushion that he had dragged from somewhere and yawned lazily.
He said, “The restrictions on the second floor have been lifted. You can go upstairs now.”
“Okay, I’ll be back in a while. I’ll go out first.” Hua Shu nodded. With a thought, she left the space.
When she returned to her room, Hua Shu was still lying on the bed as before. She hurriedly got up and looked out the window at the sun. Seeing that the sun was high in the sky and that it had only been a short while, she was finally relieved.
Moreover, her illness had been cured by the spirit spring just like Little Jiu had said. However, she had recovered in such a short period of time. How was she going to explain this to everyone in the orphanage? Moreover, her fair skin had changed so much that it would definitely arouse suspicion.
Helpless, she could only enter the space again and wake up Little Jiu who was curled up on the soft cushion.
“Little Jiu, do you have any idea how to make me look the same as before and then slowly change it so that people can accept it more easily?”
Little Jiu’s mood could be imagined when he was woken up the moment he fell asleep. Even if his entire body was pitch-black and his expression couldn’t be seen, one could see from his eyes that he was very unhappy.
Hua Shu couldn’t be bothered by his anger. Right now, she only wanted to quickly solve this problem.
Little Jiu was helpless. He waved his claws lightly, and Hua Shu immediately returned to her original pale and sickly appearance.
“Go to the second floor and take a look. There’s a jade slip for practicing talismans in the study. You’re already at the sixth level of the Qi Refinement realm, so you can practice simple talismans. In the future, you’ll have to deal with such small matters on your own.” Little Jiu glanced at her lazily and yawned loudly. “The jade slip for refining pills and weapons is there too. Go and take a look for yourself. I want to enter hibernation to cultivate. Don’t look for me for small matters.”
“Oh, then you sleep. I won’t disturb you anymore.” Hua Shu was a little embarrassed when she recalled waking him up just now, so she nodded obediently.
Little Jiu curled up again and was ready to continue sleeping. However, just as he was about to close his eyes, he suddenly raised his head.
“Oh right, you have the constitution of the sun-moon dual spirit roots. Although your cultivation speed is fast, it’s easy for your foundation to become unstable, and your mental state can’t keep up. If you want to become a true expert, it’s best not to build your foundation so quickly. First, refine the spirit energy in your body repeatedly and wait until it’s refined to the extreme before you make a breakthrough. Regardless of whether it’s the quality of your spiritual energy or your battle prowess, it will be extremely beneficial.” Little Jiu secretly wiped off the sweat on his forehead; he had almost forgotten about this matter. If he allowed her to continue to break through, no matter how good her aptitude was, it would be a waste.
Hua Shu nodded. “I understand.”
“Yes. Pill refining, talisman making, and artifact refining require proficiency in controlling spiritual energy. You need to practice more. The more proficient you are in controlling spiritual energy, the more advantageous it will be in battle. In short, you’ll have to rely on yourself from now on,” Little Jiu said as he decisively closed his eyes and ignored her.
Hua Shu looked at him for a while. When she saw that he had really fallen into a deep sleep, she shook her head helplessly and left with light footsteps.
Little Jiu was a fox. He wouldn’t meditate and cultivate like a human. Presumably, the way he cultivated to heal his injuries was to fall into a deep sleep, right?
She glanced at the stairs leading to the second floor and thought for a moment. Then, while there was still some time, she went up to the second floor.
