Chapter 70: Possessiveness
Chichi Su’s talent is truly exceptional.
Her innate Dao body can be considered peerless in the art of cultivation.
Even if she spent her days idly like Chen An, with no focus or purpose, her realm would still soar rapidly.
Chen An’s ease stemmed from the accumulation of his previous eight lifetimes.
With each mission completed, he gained the physique of that lifetime’s heroine.
This simple stacking effect brought about terrifying results.
But Chichi Su was different; her progress was purely due to her innate talent.
Chichi Su officially began her cultivation at the age of nine.
Now, a year later, she is on the verge of Foundation Establishment.
This is even with her wasting a significant amount of time playing with her Master every day.
Throughout the year, Qingli Chu visited many times. Each time she arrived impeccably dressed and with an arrogant demeanor, only to leave with tattered clothes and a dejected spirit.
Chichi Su’s attitude towards Qingli Chu gradually shifted from initial excitement to a sense of weariness.
For the first time, a hint of annoyance arose in her heart.
She was annoyed by the woman’s persistent pestering of her Master, her unwavering tenacity.
Of course, what annoyed her even more was that the woman’s appearances always disrupted the time she spent with her Master.
Despite spending every day together with her Master, she still felt it wasn’t enough.
This feeling of insufficiency would often reach its peak whenever the woman in the light blue dress appeared.
It felt as if her Master, who should have belonged solely to her, was inexplicably being shared, even if just a tiny bit.
The little girl didn’t understand that this was the possessiveness inherent in someone’s affection for what they cherished.
She merely suppressed this feeling deep within her heart.
…
…
For Chen An, there was nothing of particular importance happening in the mountains.
He ate, he drank, and he waited for the destined day to arrive.
If there was anything noteworthy, it was probably that Chichi Su would jump and play every day, getting herself covered in dirt.
This caused Chen An some distress.
She always favored climbing trees. First, she climbed the trees in the valley. Once she had climbed most of them, Chichi Su began to set her sights on the trees outside the valley.
She had been a lively and spirited child since she was young.
In the first few months, she could still sit still, but now she was no different from an ordinary, rambunctious child.
*Rustle.*
The sound of trickling water broke the silence.
Chen An was washing Chichi Su’s face.
There was a noticeable tear in the girl’s Daoist robe, likely from snagging on something. Fortunately, she wasn’t injured.
Her small face was smudged with dirt, and her big, bright eyes darted around.
Chichi Su enjoyed the gentle wiping from her Master. Her heart was full of joy, but she feigned annoyance on her face, adopting a cautious demeanor.
She said softly, “Master, am I being too naughty, causing you a lot of trouble…”
Chen An’s hand paused as he wiped. He shook his head. “You’re willing to stay with me in these remote mountains. How could I possibly see you as trouble?”
Chichi Su chuckled. She then pinched the corner of her Daoist robe, pointing to the tear, and said with a hint of grievance:
“Master, I met a fierce tiger in the mountains today. It was so mean! I just went up and plucked a single hair, and it chased me for ten miles, even tearing my clothes.”
Chen An was taken aback. He knew there was a tiger spirit outside the valley that had cultivated by absorbing the essence of the sun and moon.
However, they had always kept to their own territories. He hadn’t expected Chichi Su to run into its domain and cause trouble.
He chuckled, “You went looking for it without any reason. Be careful next time you can’t outrun it and it swallows you whole.”
Chichi Su snorted dismissively, “Master, don’t underestimate me. It caught me off guard today. When I’ve rested and recovered tomorrow, I’ll settle the score.”
Chen An gently wiped away the last bit of dirt from the girl’s face. He replied, “Where you fall, that’s where you get back up. I support you.”
With that, Chichi Su leaned back, sinking into her Master’s embrace. She closed her eyes, a triumphant smile on her lips.
She was clearly already celebrating and cheering for her revenge plan for the next day.
Having played all day, the girl soon yawned, feeling tired. She rested her head and fell asleep in her Master’s arms.
The sun began to set, painting the sky with magnificent orange-red hues.
Chen An remained in a half-squatting position, gently holding the girl, not moving.
Only when he heard faint snores from his embrace did he carefully pick up Chichi Su and walk towards the house.
…
…
The next day, Chichi Su woke up very early.
First, she hopped and skipped around the valley, stretching her body and practicing some punches and kicks.
Then, she returned to the room and specifically invited her Master to watch, to witness how she would vanquish the hateful tiger and reclaim her honor.
Chen An never refused the girl’s requests.
He smiled and agreed.
The two of them left the valley and traveled eastward for another half an hour. They indeed found a large, snow-white tiger lying in the forest.
It was snoring softly, clearly still fast asleep.
Chichi Su’s eyes lit up. She waved her hand, signaling her Master to stay put while she went forward to subdue it.
She tiptoed towards the white tiger, her expression extremely serious. Suddenly, she exerted force in her legs, leaped into the air, and slid towards the large tiger’s head.
A sharp whistling sound echoed through the air.
The white tiger suddenly opened its eyes, revealing a pair of sapphire-blue vertical pupils.
…
…
Three minutes later, a girl’s shout rang out from the forest.
“Master, save me!”
The Chichi Su, who had been so full of spirit that morning, was now completely devoid of her earlier bravado.
Instead, she was being chased by the white tiger, darting and fleeing in a disheveled state.
However, perhaps her extensive experience climbing trees came into play, as Chichi Su was as slippery as a loach.
No matter how the white tiger pursued, the girl managed to evade it with ease at the last moment.
The white tiger’s eyes seemed to be spitting fire, wide with fury.
Just as it could no longer hold back and was about to unleash its true abilities to teach the girl a lesson, it suddenly felt a gaze upon it.
The gaze came from a man dressed in a light green Daoist robe.
He stood in the forest, calmly looking over.
His gaze held no strong emotions, and certainly no warning.
Yet, the tiger’s paw, which was about to extend, instinctively retracted.
It immediately wanted to kneel before the man to beg forgiveness, its entire being radiating a strong will to survive.
But the man merely shook his head slightly.
The intelligent white tiger immediately understood his meaning.
It let out a sudden roar, startling the birds and beasts in the forest, causing them to scatter and flee.
Then, it sprinted away with all its might, continuing its game of cat and mouse with the bothersome little girl.
Though, as a “big cat,” it was indeed somewhat undeserving of the title…
