Chapter 231: If I Can’t Fool Them, I’ll Just Slip Away
Envious, jealous, and resentful, yet unable to do anything about it, Sheng Qingyan watched as Ji You leisurely and satisfyingly finished eating the huge double-yolked egg. Honestly, once this natural food is ingested, it brings a refreshing sensation to the body, especially to the spiritual power—it’s like parched flowers and plants being suddenly doused with a basin of cool water, instantly spreading their branches and leaves...
Having finished this natural food breakfast, the Six Strands of Spiritual Silk that originally lay lazily inside the Spiritual World, occasionally flicking their tails, began to liven up with Ji You’s meal.
By the time Ji You finished eating, Second, Third, and Sixth had already begun chasing each other in playful games. Boss, being the most robust one, acted too dignified to join in. Old Five? Compared to the others, Old Five was still the weakest strand, spending most of its time resting and recuperating, thus lacking the energy to join in the fun.
Fourth?
Coiled into a small ring atop Old Five’s head, Fourth suddenly felt Ji You’s gaze. It immediately hopped down and circled around Ji You, flicking its tail excessively obsequious: [Master! Master! Master! Fourth is being a well-behaved Silk today...]
Ji You: "..."
You, well-behaved?
Are you illiterate, not knowing how to write the word ’well-behaved’?
But while Ji You thought this, they didn’t say it out loud. As a skinflint—no! A good Master who knows how to encourage their Sisi, Ji You wouldn’t put them down. So, nodding, they said, "Fourth, you’re a clever Silk, I have high hopes for you, and I hope you continue to perform well."
Fourth: [Don’t worry, Master! Fourth will behave well.]
As soon as Ji You spoke up, it immediately drew the attention of the other Silks. They glanced at Fourth and cursed inwardly: Slippery Silk Fourth, always the first to spot the Master’s presence.
The other five Silks quickly surrounded Ji You, outdoing each other to act cute and seek favor.
