Where does that wicked woman get her conscience?

"Ah..." Guan Xun sighed, somewhat disappointed. She had planned to roast the small fish into dried fish to take with her, which would have been very convenient.

How could she possibly let go of the infinite space storage ring she was walking through? Besides, this little fish knew there were treasures here. What if it came back and took all the treasures after she left?

Thinking about it this way, I'm even more determined not to let it go.

“Master, it…” Chi Rong was about to say something when Guan Xun interrupted him with a raised hand.

She's trying to figure out a solution, but she's feeling frustrated.

"No, Master, look at it..."

"Shhh."

"..."

Okay, Chi Rong will hold back for now and talk about it later, that's fine.

"I'll help you take all the treasures out, how about it?" Seeing that the person in front of her hadn't made a decision for a long time, Xiaoyu asked in a cold voice.

Guan Xun raised a single eyebrow, released its grip, pointed to the pile of treasures inside the cave, and said, "Deal."

As soon as she finished speaking, the little fish casually wiggled its tail, and the mountain of treasures instantly vanished.

This is really good stuff! And you don't even have to lift a finger; it's just a matter of saying a few words.

Looking at the white shadow hanging in front of her, Guan Xun nodded in satisfaction. Suddenly, her expression froze, and her eyes were full of strangeness.

not right...

She turned her head to look at Chi Rong and asked about its condition.

Chi Rong then flicked its tail, its tongue flicking out: "That's what I was going to say."

Despite being out of the water for so long, the little fish not only didn't suffocate, but it was also able to hang in the air! It was as if the place it was in was a body of water.

Guan Xun: ? ? ?

Seemingly noticing their confusion, Xiaoyu casually tossed out a remark.

"I don't need water."

"Then what are you doing in the water?" Chi Rong was no longer calm. It had never seen a sea creature that didn't need water.

It paused for a moment, then shook its head, as if it had indeed seen them before... Those enormous creatures in the sea swam high in the sky, but they weren't fish...

"clean."

Chi Rong:......

No need for water? That's good, then she won't have to go through the trouble of carrying the puddle of water up with her.

Thinking this, Guan Xun slightly turned his wrist at his side, and wisps of green spiritual energy emerged from his fingertips, intertwining to form a thin green thread.

She pretended to look around nonchalantly, trying to catch the little fish when it wasn't looking, but as soon as she raised her hand, the little fish darted away to the other side.

These agile movements were as if they were constantly on guard against her.

Guan Xun was so angry she laughed. She smirked and said, "Why are you hiding so far away? I'm not going to arrest you."

Little Fish didn't even glance at her.

Look at it, it looks like it's deaf.

She absolutely had to catch it!

With a light step, spiritual energy instantly filled the cave, covering everything in its path with a chilling aura that froze into a thick layer of ice. At the same time, Guan Xun leaped forward, heading towards the white figure...

Seeing this, Chi Rong didn't have time to sit still. His huge tail swept down, sealing off any escape routes that weren't covered by the ice...

The little fish nearly crashed into the ice. With no way to escape from the two men's attack, it was caught in Guan Xun's hand.

Before she even landed, she raised her other hand and slipped the thread that had been wrapped around her fingers onto the little fish's tail. Perhaps feeling it wasn't secure enough, she wrapped it around the fish several more times, ignoring its struggles.

Then, pulling on the other end of the thread, he slipped it over the pointed horn of Chi Rong's head...

Chi Rong:?

"Master... what are you doing...?"

"From now on, you'll be in charge of it." After doing all this, Guan Xun clapped her hands. From the beginning, whenever she ordered Chi Rong to do something, it never failed.

This little fish carried most of her wealth and treasures, and having Chi Rong watch over it made her feel more at ease.

Although it knew that its master wouldn't let the little fish go so easily, this method was too strange. Chi Rong rolled its eyes upward, wanting to see the unsightly appearance, but unfortunately the angle didn't allow it.

"you!"

All that could be heard was a chilling voice coming from above. Chi Rong ignored it and turned his gaze to his master: "Master, I don't have a physical form yet, so it's impossible for me to stay outside for a long time."

"Tie this thing to me. Once I'm back inside you, the thread will lose its anchor point and will definitely run away..."

Guan Xun was slightly taken aback. Yes, she had overlooked this matter for a moment.

Thinking it over, she immediately took off the silk thread from the corner, looked at the little fish's smelly face, and rolled her eyes.

"I helped you bring out the treasure, and you took me away from here. Do you remember?" Xiaoyu said slowly, her tone unhurried but carrying an unprecedented chill.

It was really angry.

“That’s right, aren’t we just about to go out?” Guan Xun shrugged. She had already said that she was a person of her word, how could she forget?

"Then why are you tying me up?"

"If I don't tie you up, and you run away with my treasures after we get out, where will I go to seek justice?"

"will not."

"I don't trust you." Guan Xun shortened the silk thread a little, poked the little fish's eyes with his slender fingertips, and said with a teasing tone, "Also, didn't I tell you? I like pretty things, so you'll have to follow me from now on."

Xiaoyu lowered her eyes and didn't speak for a long time.

When was it ever treated this way?

"Master, we should go." Chi Rong loosened and tightened the beast core that was curled up with his tail. He needed to leave this place quickly and find a suitable place to devour it.

"Ah."

Guan Xun stared at the silk thread in her hand. After thinking for a while, the green spiritual energy in her left palm surged up again, intertwining with the thread and connecting to one end. Then the thread continued to wrap around her hand until it stopped at her shoulder.

Immediately, the silk threads pierced through the dress and penetrated the skin, from the palm to the shoulder and then to the fish tail, the green lines slowly fading to transparent.

In this way, no trace of the silk thread can be seen, and she can move her arms without pulling on the small fish hanging above her head on the upper left side.

To anyone who looked at her, it seemed as if this fish was following her everywhere, especially clingy.

This outfit might seem strange in small towns, but it should be quite common in some bustling areas. After all, young ladies and gentlemen from wealthy families love spirit pets, so it's not unusual for them to be accompanied by all sorts of strange little monsters.

She now carries a small national treasury with her, so it's normal for her to have a spirit pet by her side. Thinking back to how poor she was when she was first reborn, Guan Xun felt that things had really gone too far.

"let's go."

The nest was completely covered by swamp mud, and as soon as you looked out from the barrier at the entrance, you were met with a foul-smelling and filthy swamp.

However, getting out of here was a piece of cake for her.

Guan Xun enveloped his body with spiritual energy, forming a huge spiritual energy barrier. As soon as he stepped out of the cave, he headed straight upwards.

Not for a while.

A loud splash came from the swamp, startling the surrounding birds into a flurry of flight.

Guan Xun leaped onto a tall tree and stood there, looking at the miasma that had been dispersed. Then he placed the back of his hand on his forehead and looked directly into the sunlight.

"The air outside is so much fresher..."
