When I brought back the snacks, Crispy Noodle was already eagerly waiting, wagging its tail and running up to me, hugging my leg.
Wow, you really know how to please me when there's food involved.
I pulled out a few slices of toast, handed two to the instant noodles, and kept two for myself, placing the remaining snacks on the table.
Since I had given the previous steamed buns to the instant noodles, I wasn't full either. I quickly swallowed the two slices of bread; yes, they were better than the buns, at least they were soft!
Crispy Noodle was not slow either; after finishing its food, it looked at me with big eyes.
Seriously? It ate almost as much as I did and is still not full? You must be the reincarnation of that Hungry Ghost that was pestering Lin Miaomiao! But I didn't dare give it more food; being hungry for too long and then eating too much isn't good.
I reached out and rubbed Crispy Noodle's fluffy head: "No more food, be good!"
Crispy Noodle continued to stare at me intently but soon ran off to grab some snacks. I smiled and took the snacks up to Red Boy's sleeping area, sitting cross-legged on my bed, preparing to meditate. As for Crispy Noodle, it would find a place to sleep after playing around for a while.
Previously, I had replaced sleep with meditation. Once I got used to meditating, it wasn't much different from sleeping. Plus, absorbing Earth Spirit Energy throughout the night allowed me to recover my strength quickly.
After meditating for a while, I felt something was off. Right, I wasn't wearing the Azure Robe; no wonder refining my magic power felt so uncomfortable.
As soon as I put on the Azure Robe, the Earth Spirit Energy surged like floodwaters and began flowing through my meridians.
In my Dantian, the Azure Flowers illuminated each other with a faint glow, while the Azure Flame within flickered slowly, burning steadily.
Gradually, I realized that the absorption and refinement of Earth Spirit Energy no longer required my control; these processes were operating automatically between the light and dark of the three points.
After the Earth Spirit Energy automatically entered my body, it began to flow through my meridians, separating and refining itself, just as well as when I manipulated my own magical power.
Since this was the case, I relaxed my mind and stopped controlling it. My head felt heavy, and I simply fell asleep.
It had been a long time since I had slept so deeply. The feeling of exhaustion washed over me like a tide, and before long, I completely lost consciousness and entered a dream.
When I woke up again, it should have been bright outside; sunlight streamed in through the gaps in the garage door.
I hadn’t slept in a long time and felt dazed, my head spinning. It seemed like I had overslept. Today was supposed to be the first day of classes, but due to yesterday's chaos, it had been postponed. Since I had already missed the morning practice time, I might as well indulge myself a little longer and enjoy a lazy sleep.
Being able to sleep in is a wonderful thing. I hadn’t experienced deep sleep in at least four or five years. Although meditation can somewhat replace sleep, it still doesn't compare to the comfort of real rest.
I lost track of time again and felt something gently touching the back of my hand. I turned over, wanting to stay in bed a little longer.
Wait, did I just press against something? It felt soft, almost like a human form.
Could it be that Red Boy has returned? Yesterday Yama King said he was fine, but wasn’t he taken away by Ksitigarbha? Could he have come back too exhausted to climb into his own bed? That seems unlikely.
Struggling to open my eyes, I wanted to see who was playing such a boring prank on me when all I wanted was to continue sleeping!
As soon as I opened my eyes, my head buzzed, and it felt like a bucket of cold water had been poured over me from head to toe.
To my surprise, there was not just me on the bed; there was also a Cute Girl!
What on earth is going on?
The cute girl was not wearing any clothes, just wrapped in my blanket a little. Her long hair was scattered around, and her big eyes looked at me innocently, somewhat familiar. The feeling of her gentle touch from before lingered; it was her tongue lightly licking the wound on my hand that had been scratched by Crispy Noodle.
At that moment, Red Boy's voice came from the doorway: "Ango, I'm back!"
Oh no, please don't come in!
Unfortunately, things didn't go as planned. Red Boy pushed the door open and walked in, followed by Lin Miaomiao.
Lin Miaomiao was talking to Red Boy: "I told you..."
In the next second, Red Boy and I locked eyes, and then Lin Miaomiao glanced at the cute girl.
"Ah~! Yin Zheng'an, how shameless you are!"
Red Boy was pulled out by Lin Miaomiao.
What did I do to deserve this? I felt like I wanted to die.
"What’s going on?" Lin Miaomiao asked. After about ten minutes, I calmed myself down and prepared for the interrogation from Lin Miaomiao and Red Boy.
"I don't know if you believe me," I said with an awkward shrug.
"Do you believe me?" Lin Miaomiao mocked.
On the bed, the cute girl was wrapped in my Azure Robe, looking at me and Lin Miaomiao innocently, while Red Boy hid to the side, not daring to lift his head.
"Why does it seem like you're the one in trouble?" I teased Red Boy.
"Do you still have the face to laugh?" Lin Miaomiao shot me a glare.
"I don't know, I was just meditating last night, too tired and fell asleep, and when I woke up, it was like this."
"Keep making things up," Lin Miaomiao looked at me with a disdainful expression. "Do you even believe what you're saying?"
"I have no idea what happened! I woke up like this, and I don't even know this Sister! But being caught in bed like this, there's nothing I can do now; it's not like jumping into the Yellow River will clear my name."
"Well, I believe you," Red Boy raised his hand from the side. "My belief has nothing to do with Ango."
See, that's what a brother is for; it was worth the effort.
"Niu Hong, don't give your brother any ideas," Lin Miaomiao said sternly. I had introduced Red Boy to Lin Miaomiao earlier; he is my cousin.
"I'm not giving him any ideas," Red Boy stood up and lifted Cute Girl's chin, locking eyes with her.
Cute Girl looked at Red Boy in confusion, her lips slightly parted as she blinked at him, suddenly sticking out her tongue to lick Red Boy's palm.
"She has a hint of demonic energy," Red Boy said softly. "But it's very faint, and not the kind that's masked; it's just naturally faint on her."
"So?" I asked.
"It should have just been able to take on human form," Red Boy pondered. "It seems like it hasn't awakened its spiritual consciousness yet."
Animals can also cultivate, but their methods are different from humans. Through cultivation, animals can awaken spiritual intelligence comparable to that of humans, allowing them to speak human language, transform into human form, mimic human lifestyles, and even integrate into human society. The Landlady of Red Bean Affection and Qu are examples of this.
However, the Landlady and Qu took a long time to cultivate into human form, so they must have awakened their spiritual intelligence before transforming. Yet, there is a possibility for an animal to take on human form without having awakened its spiritual intelligence.
In Ancient Times, Earth Spirit Energy was much more abundant than it is now, which meant there were far more capable beings than today. Besides humans and animals, some plants could also absorb Earth Spirit Energy. These plants are generally referred to as immortal herbs (not the kind you eat in Taiwan).
Whether flowers or trees, they are all called immortal herbs.
Immortal herbs, nourished by Earth Spirit Energy, possess special effects. Some can help calm the mind, some can heal wounds, and others have astonishing effects. For example, the Peach of Immortality from the Queen Mother is also a type of immortal herb. Even low-grade Peaches of Immortality can allow a person to ascend during the day; not to mention those that take thousands of years to consume.
However, there is a special type of immortal herb that guarantees death if consumed by a human, but if eaten by an animal, it can help them transform into human form. Unfortunately, such immortal herbs are now quite rare.
I looked around; the Crispy Noodle I picked up yesterday was already gone. Could it be that this Cute Girl actually transformed after eating the immortal herb?
Could it be that greedy Crispy Noodle I brought back earlier?
Is it really going to be this cliché?
