I Need To Find A Way To Make Her Love Me Again - Chapter 10

Guan Fei was still a little conflicted after receiving the talisman. Yan Xingyu saw her deep in thought and asked, “Why aren’t you using it yet?”

“I’m a little unsure how to face the little one while she’s awake, I’m afraid she will hate me.”

Yan Xingyu recalled the little fox’s previous actions, which clearly indicated she already hated her. Seeing her hesitation, she stepped forward, took the talisman, and applied it to the little fox herself.

After activating the talisman, all three turned their gaze toward the sleeping little fox, waiting for her to wake up. Yan Xingyu even asked, “How long does your talisman last?”

Liu Ruoni replied, “A day is no problem.”

“Alright.”

Jiaoyu’s ears twitched slightly, hearing people talking. She opened her eyes and saw several human faces, one of which was the one she hated the most.

She let out a little “awoo” and tried to jump up, but found her body somewhat uncontrollable.

Liu Ruoni watched and commented, “See, she really doesn’t have the strength to cause trouble.”

Although this person’s heart is black, the talismans she provides are indeed very useful, a point Yan Xingyu deeply agreed with. Seeing the little fox awake, she said, “Little one, are you hungry? Do you want something to eat?”

Jiaoyu secretly exerted herself, but found she simply couldn’t muster any strength. She could only claw at the person’s clothes.

Guan Fei gently stroked her little head and asked, “What’s wrong? Is there something you want?”

Her answer was a sharp, delicate shout: “Dead woman, let go of me.”

Liu Ruoni looked surprised and said, “The little fox has actually cultivated human speech.”

Yan Xingyu had originally intended to treat her as a pet to tease, but now it seemed that wouldn’t work. However, the little fox’s words were quite rude. She secretly glanced at Guan Fei.

Seeing no anger on Guan Fei’s face, a slight smile even curved her lips as she said, “It’s good that you can talk. What is your name?”

Jiaoyu, seeing she couldn’t break free, started cursing loudly.

“Dead woman, grabbing me again and again, you are not worthy to know my name!”

“Quickly let go of your Grandma, or else you just wait, I’ll make you suffer!”

“I’ll flay your skin, peel your tendons, and make sure you die a horrible death.”

Yan Xingyu was getting a headache from the shouting and turned to Liu Ruoni, asking, “Is there a talisman to make her shut up? This little one’s mouth is too noisy.”

Liu Ruoni smiled and said, “There naturally is.”

Hearing this, Jiaoyu became even angrier, and her cursing escalated several notches.

“If you dare to seal my mouth again, I will definitely make you pay the price!”

“I’m going to roast you all into human skin!”

“I’m going to… Wuwuwu”

Jiaoyu saw her mouth being covered by a hand, which infuriated her even more. She opened her mouth and bit down. Her mouth was instantly filled with a metallic taste of blood, but the person in front of her still didn’t let go.

She looked up but couldn’t see the person’s eyes, only the gentle smile at the corner of her mouth.

“You will regain your strength tomorrow, and then you can leave.”

“I’m sorry, please don’t be angry.”

“Will you forgive me? I just like you too much, that’s why I used this method to keep you by my side.”

Hearing the word “like,” Jiaoyu slightly loosened the sharp teeth biting the person’s hand. She said, “You’re lying. That’s not what liking someone is.”

Guan Fei, with a serious expression, asked gently, “Then what should it be like?”

Memories of what her sisters had told her flashed through Jiaoyu’s mind, and she replied, “Liking someone is protection, it’s caring, it’s giving them all the good things. You knocked me out repeatedly, you don’t like me at all, you’re a liar.”

Yan Xingyu interjected, “Little one, don’t forget she saved you, otherwise you would have been captured by that man.”

Jiaoyu snorted, “Aren’t you all in the same group, a bunch of dead Daoists.”

Guan Fei didn’t mind the little one’s hostile attitude. Instead, she humbly said again, “I’m sorry. I didn’t know what to do before. Now I will remember what you said.”

Jiaoyu looked at the woman with a strange look and countered, “Really?”

Guan Fei affirmed, “Really.”

Jiaoyu said, “Then strike your chest with your palm, and I’ll believe you.”

Yan Xingyu immediately became anxious, “Little one, don’t go too far.”

Jiaoyu replied, “You captured me first. Why should I easily trust you?”

Guan Fei said, “Alright.”

Yan Xingyu saw spiritual power gathering in Guan Fei’s palm, and she was genuinely about to strike her own chest. She quickly stepped forward and grabbed the person’s hand, looking at the wound still bleeding from the little fox’s bite.

She cursed, “Guan Fei, are you really sick?”

Then she turned her anger toward the little fox in the person’s arms, scolding, “You truly are a harmful demonic creature. Your strength will recover tomorrow, and then you can roll back to wherever you came from.”

Guan Fei sensed the other person’s anger and soothed her, “Miss Yan, I’m fine. The little one just has a bad temper, and after being hunted by cultivators, it’s understandable for her to be wary.”

Jiaoyu was scolded by Yan Xingyu but saw the woman holding her still protecting her, and her heart softened a little.

But her mouth was still sharp, saying, “You only bully little demons! If you have the guts, go bother big monsters!”

Yan Xingyu sneered, “Look at how deeply you bit her hand, and you still have the nerve to say we’re bullying you?”

Jiaoyu looked at the bloodstain on the person’s hand, didn’t speak, and proudly turned her head away.

Guan Fei used spiritual power to briefly treat the wound on her hand and said, “Miss Yan, see? It’s fine now. Don’t be angry with the little one.”

Liu Ruoni, seeing the tension, brought up another topic to distract everyone and lighten the atmosphere. She said, “Miss Yan, weren’t you going to borrow a boat? I’ll take you to find other fishermen to borrow one.”

Yan Xingyu was mostly angry that Guan Fei actually listened to the little fox and was willing to harm herself. Seeing that she was indeed fine, she let it go, turned to Liu Ruoni, and said, “Alright, let’s go.”

Guan Fei followed behind and whispered to Jiaoyu, “Tell me if you want anything. Can we stop fighting?”

Jiaoyu, still without strength, was just nestled in her arms. She found a comfortable position and pretended to sleep. Hearing the person speak, she acted like she hadn’t heard and kept her eyes closed, not saying anything.

Guan Fei stroked her little head and continued, “Do you want something to eat?”

Jiaoyu still didn’t say anything.

Guan Fei then said, “Do you want a spiritual pill?”

Hearing the words “spiritual pill,” Jiaoyu’s ears twitched. Guan Fei noticed her slight movement, smiled, and offered a spiritual pill to her mouth, saying, “Little one, eat.”

“I’m not called Little One, my name is Jiaoyu.”

With that, she opened her mouth and swallowed the spiritual pill, thinking, Why refuse free food?

“Okay, I will call you by your name from now on. You can also call me by my name, Guan Fei.”

However, after eating the spiritual pill, Jiaoyu ignored her completely.

Yan Xingyu secretly watched Guan Fei coaxing the little fox several times and wondered, “I really don’t know why she likes this fur ball so much.”

Liu Ruoni smiled and said, “Everyone has their preferences. It’s also possible that Miss Guan is lonely and needs companionship.”

Yan Xingyu said, “Fine. Where are we going to borrow a boat? Can we actually borrow one?”

Liu Ruoni said, “You don’t need to worry about that. But what are you looking for in the East Tai Sea?”

“The Water Spirit Crystal.”

Hearing this answer, Liu Ruoni stopped in her tracks, looked at the other person with a knowing look, and said, “That item is not in the East Tai Sea.”

Yan Xingyu saw that the person seemed to know more about the Water Spirit Crystal’s whereabouts and asked, “We just heard the rumors. How do you know where it is?”

Liu Ruoni countered, “Are you looking for the Crane Tower?”

Yan Xingyu thought that this rumor was indeed known to all of them, so she nodded and said, “That’s right.”

A hint of disapproval appeared on Liu Ruoni’s face, and she said, “Thousands of people search for the Crane Tower, but how many succeed? Don’t waste your time. You should cultivate diligently instead.”

Yan Xingyu replied, “I know the chances of this succeeding are slim, but I have no other choice right now. Otherwise, tell me, what other way do I have to return the heart to Yirong?”

“If you know where the Water Spirit Crystal is, tell me quickly.”

Liu Ruoni’s eyes shimmered at this, and she gave a light smile, saying, “Isn’t the Water Spirit Crystal already on you?”
