After Transmigrating into a Book, I Was Entangled by a Crazy and Beautiful Villain - Chapter 38

After quickly finishing lunch, Song Linlin, adhering to the principle of not wasting food, ate her meal completely. Shen Wanyi, focused on picking up her spiritual pet, only hastily took a few bites. Seeing that Song Linlin was done, she immediately took her away.

The two walked between the sect buildings. Song Linlin looked at Shen Wanyi walking in front of her. This young lady from a wealthy family was clearly in a good mood, bouncing as she walked, and the bells on her wrist kept jingling.

Song Linlin didn’t have her energy and lazily followed behind. Because she was wearing a bamboo hat, the noon sun didn’t shine directly into her eyes, but the outside light was too bright, which made Song Linlin squint.

She spoke to Shen Wanyi, who was hopping non-stop, in a faint tone. In fact, on such an afternoon, Song Linlin felt that the best thing to do was go home and take a nap.

“Shen Wanyi, are you sure someone will deliver the item later?”

The sun was a bit strong right now, and Song Linlin didn’t really like standing outside foolishly waiting in such bright sunshine. Especially since she had been staying on the mountain all these days, the temperature there was cool, often shrouded in a thin mist. The sunlight, after passing through the mist, had been significantly weakened. It was truly a place of warmth in winter and coolness in summer.

Shen Wanyi turned around confidently, patting her chest, and said, “Don’t worry, since they said it would be this time, it definitely won’t be late!”

“Alright then.”

Song Linlin could only hope that the person she found was reliable and wouldn’t stand them up, or else it would be a waste of time. What better things could she be doing with that time?

Since the item was being transported from the outside world, it definitely had to be sent to the outer sect first. After inspection there confirmed everything was fine, they would agree to transmit it to the inner sect.

The two arrived at the transmission point. This place was usually guarded by disciples on duty to prevent any dangerous creatures or items from mixing into the inner sect, and similarly, to prevent inner sect disciples from sneaking out.

Within the sect, especially the inner sect, entering and exiting was not as convenient as the outer sect. It required the use of a short-distance transmission array, and each activation of the array consumed resources.

In the inner sect, unless a disciple had accepted a mission that required leaving the sect, or had obtained approval from an elder, unauthorized personnel could not casually run out of the inner sect.

This practice saved resources and also protected the safety of the disciples. After all, unless someone was audacious enough to try and fight their way into the Xuan Yun Sect’s inner sect, the interior of the sect was the safest place.

Song Linlin and Shen Wanyi naturally did not have the official authorization to leave the sect, so they could only stand near the transmission array and wait, eagerly watching the people coming and going nearby.

Fortunately, the result was exactly as Shen Wanyi had said. They didn’t have to wait long before they saw two men in miscellaneous service attire, carrying a tightly packaged wooden box, appearing at the transmission array one after the other.

The man walking in front saw Shen Wanyi waiting not far away and immediately said respectfully, “Miss Shen, the item sent by the Shen family has arrived!”

The wooden box was tightly sealed. Song Linlin couldn’t see what the spiritual pet inside looked like. She could only curiously walk around the box and then noticed that it was actually covered with many talismans.

Shen Wanyi didn’t pay attention to these details. She told the two service disciples, “Very good, carry it directly to my place!”

She led the others toward her residence. Song Linlin had never been to Shen Wanyi’s residence before, but looking at the scenery along the way, she could clearly feel that this place must be much better than her own.

Finally, the group arrived halfway up the mountain. Shen Wanyi pushed open the courtyard door. Song Linlin followed closely behind the two service disciples and entered the interior. When she saw the scenery inside, Song Linlin was astonished. Why was there a garden here?!

Not only were there various ornamental plants, but while walking inside, Song Linlin also saw a small rockery and a pond.

Absolutely outrageous!

Song Linlin, never having witnessed such a sight, didn’t feel comfortable asking too many questions, so she silently continued forward. The garden’s area was quite large. It took them two or three minutes of walking before they finally reached the dwelling.

Since they could afford to build a garden, the decoration inside the house naturally wouldn’t be poor. Shen Wanyi, living here every day, didn’t find anything unusual, but it truly gave Song Linlin a slight shock from a rich young lady’s perspective.

Compared to this place, her own small house was indeed a humble abode.

“Alright, put it here!” Shen Wanyi pointed to an empty spot.

“Yes.”

The two service disciples immediately put down the wooden box they were carrying and began to take out tools to dismantle it. Their movements were quick. In a moment, they had removed all the talismans and nails sealing the box’s sides.

It was now time to open the box.

Shen Wanyi wanted to open the box herself, but just in case, fearing there might be some hidden danger, she still let the two service disciples open it.

Song Linlin stood by, curiously watching their movements. As the lid of the wooden box was opened, the little creature inside, upon seeing the sunlight, immediately let out a cry.

The sound was quite cute. One of the men carefully lifted the spiritual pet out of the box with both hands and placed it on the ground.

This time, Song Linlin finally saw the appearance of the spiritual pet. Its size was about that of a regular house cat. Its limbs were not long, its entire body was covered in soft fur, and its two ears were large. It even had wings.

Song Linlin genuinely couldn’t describe this creature’s appearance. In short, it wasn’t like any species on Earth, but its look was not bad; it could indeed be considered cute.

“Miss Shen, the item has been delivered. We will take our leave now,” the service disciple bowed to Shen Wanyi and said respectfully.

Shen Wanyi’s attention was now entirely focused on her newly acquired spiritual pet. She casually threw a bag of something to one of the men, presumably the reward for this task.

She nodded and said, “Mhm, you did a good job. You may go.”

The two men naturally bowed in thanks again after receiving the reward, and then, knowing their place, they also took the dismantled wooden box with them, not leaving Shen Wanyi to worry about handling the garbage.

Shen Wanyi reached out and picked up the spiritual pet, which was clearly still in a dazed state. She grasped its body with both hands, lifted it up, and then walked toward the room.

“Let’s go, we’ll talk in the room. My Little One is also sleeping in the room,” Shen Wanyi turned and said to Song Linlin.

Song Linlin had no objection and followed the person in front into the bedroom. As soon as Shen Wanyi entered the room, she called out, “Little One, don’t sleep anymore!”

After her voice fell, Song Linlin saw a cluster of creamy yellow fur, originally curled up on the quilt, suddenly move. Then, it flew up, fluttering its wings as it approached Shen Wanyi.

When Little One got closer, Song Linlin noticed that Shen Wanyi was holding a similar creature of its kind. The two little creatures looked quite alike; the only difference was the color of their fur. Moreover, Song Linlin felt that this Little One must have been meticulously raised, looking noticeably more delicate and rounder than the one that had just been captured.

Little One first circled Shen Wanyi twice. Then, its round, big eyes first looked at the new companion, and occasionally glanced at Song Linlin, who was a stranger to it.

It had to be admitted that this little creature was indeed very cute, fluffy all over, and because it had a good diet with Shen Wanyi, it was fed until it was chubby.

Placing the spiritual pet she was holding on the table, Shen Wanyi sat on the stool and looked at Song Linlin, saying, “Hehe, my Little One is very cute, right!”

Song Linlin sat beside her, looking at Little One, which was constantly flapping its wings, and nodded, “It is indeed quite cute.”

It was inherently difficult for people to reject this kind of fluffy and round creature.

“The new one didn’t have very good nutrition in the wild. After I carefully feed it for a few months, it definitely won’t look as thin as it does now!” Shen Wanyi said.

Little One also landed on the table. It habitually rubbed against Shen Wanyi’s hand and stuck out its tongue to lick her finger.

Shen Wanyi petted Little One’s thick fur. It was practically like a ball of fluff. She was also very generous and said, “Song Linlin, do you want to touch it? It feels great!”

“Can I touch it?” Song Linlin also looked at Little One with curiosity.

“Of course, you can!”

Shen Wanyi chuckled, “Many people have touched it, and they all say it feels very good.”

Saying that, she directly picked up Little One and placed it in front of Song Linlin, generously saying, “Go ahead and pet it. Little One just really likes to lick people recently, so it might lick your finger.”

Little One, placed in front of Song Linlin, also stared at her with big, watery eyes. Because Shen Wanyi often took it out with her, this little creature was not afraid of people. Having been petted often, it could be intimate with anyone.

Song Linlin was also a little tempted. She looked at this fluffy ball, especially since it had a pair of wings. This was the first spiritual pet Song Linlin had ever seen, so she was naturally very curious.

Moreover, Little One’s appearance made people really want to touch its thick fur.

However, before Song Linlin could reach out, she inexplicably felt the small snake that had been quietly wrapped around her arm throughout the journey start to move. The cold, smooth scales slid against the thin layer of her inner clothing. It didn’t come directly out of the cuff; instead, it crawled along her forearm, moving upwards.

This startled Song Linlin. There was an outsider present now, and she was very afraid that the small snake would suddenly pop out. Moreover, the feeling of a cold, clammy thing crawling up her upper body wasn’t pleasant. She immediately raised her hand and pressed it against her arm, trying to pinch the snake’s body to stop it from moving, but she couldn’t grip it at all.

Finally, the small snake directly emerged from Song Linlin’s neckline. It looked at Song Linlin, its eyes full of resentment, as if it had been neglected. It only glanced briefly at Little One on the table, and then withdrew its gaze.

Although it hadn’t done anything, Little One seemed to be startled at this moment. It immediately fluttered its wings and flew away from Song Linlin, leaping into Shen Wanyi’s arms, tucking its head in and not daring to look back.

Even the spiritual pet that was clearly in a state of shock after arriving in the new environment seemed to have its fur stand on end. It flew up instantly, hiding under a chair in the distance, and its body was still shaking non-stop.

“What the…”

Song Linlin looked at the sudden change and didn’t know what to do for a moment.

Shen Wanyi hugged Little One in her arms, looking bewildered. She noticed the thing near Song Linlin’s neckline and was immediately shocked. She cried out in surprise, “Holy cow!”

“Song Linlin, why is there a snake in your clothes?!”
