"Ah Li?"
Hearing this, the white-haired woman was slightly stunned, but she didn't raise any objections.
On the contrary, she felt a sense of joy at having a temporary name.
Xiao Xue looked at Ah Li hugging her tail and giggling foolishly, finding her quite cute. She couldn't help but raise her hand, wanting to pinch the ears on top of her head.
However, her hand stopped mid-air.
"I almost forgot, although Ah Li seems a bit dim-witted, she is still a Senior after all."
"If I just pinch her ears and make her unhappy, it'll be hard to clean up the mess."
Just then, Ah Li looked up at Xiao Xue, then at her hand hovering in the air.
Then, she leaned forward, proactively placing her head under Xiao Xue's hand and even rubbing against it gently.
Xiao Xue:!!!
Who could possibly resist this?!
She gently stroked Ah Li's snow-white hair and finally, quite audaciously, gave her soft little ears a gentle tug.
They were fluffy and felt wonderful to the touch.
When Xiao Xue tugged her ears, Ah Li shrank her head slightly and then looked up to glare at her.
—Don't tug my ears!
Seeing Ah Li's reaction, a mischievous thought suddenly popped into Xiao Xue's mind—
Should I pinch her cheeks too while I'm at it?
Although she was a Soul body, Ah Li's Face still had a bit of baby fat, making it look very pinchable.
Xiao Xue thought about it but ultimately didn't do it.
She was a Senior after all; she had to give her some Face.
I've already touched her ears today; if I'm still not satisfied and want to pinch her cheeks, what would come next if I actually did?
Next would be... asking for benefits, of course!
After all, the "River of Immortality" and its Na Yin Secret Art were still in Ah Li's hands.
Although she didn't need other things like Earth-rank Cultivation Methods or Dou Techniques, she was truly craving the "River of Immortality"!
"Ah Li, look, I even gave you the seven illusory green spirit saliva. Why don't you lend me the Na Yin Secret Art to take a look?" Xiao Xue said with a kind smile on her Face.
Compared to the super legacies in the Three Thousand Universe Seas, the "opportunities" she encountered on the Fighting Qi Continent were nothing!
"What? What did you say?" Ah Li asked blankly.
"The Na Yin Secret Art, just... that jade tablet," Xiao Xue tried to communicate with Ah Li.
"Give me that jade tablet, and I'll give you all the delicious food I find in the future."
"Delicious food? Okay, okay!" Ah Li immediately became excited.
"Where is the jade tablet then?" Xiao Xue asked.
"What? What jade tablet? Why do you always say things I don't understand..."
Xiao Xue: "..."
She began to suspect if Ah Li was suffering from selective hearing.
Clearly, while Ah Li didn't seem very bright, she wasn't stupid without a limit.
It seemed that even though she had lost part of her memory, her subconscious still remembered the importance of that jade tablet.
She could still distinguish between one full meal and being full for every meal.
She wouldn't do something like killing the goose that lays the golden eggs.
Xiao Xue eventually gave up on her plan to trick Ah Li out of the "River of Immortality"; after all, they had plenty of time ahead.
Besides, even if she got the "River of Immortality" now, she wouldn't be able to Cultivate it.
To Cultivate that kind of secret art with Soul Power below the Spirit Realm was simply asking for an early grave.
So, despite the initial setback, Xiao Xue didn't feel too discouraged.
Having Ah Li return to the storage ring, Xiao Xue got up to find Xiao Yi Xian, planning to return to Wutan City.
Ordinary storage rings cannot hold living beings or Soul bodies. The ring that Old Yao stayed in wasn't called a storage ring, but a Soul Ring.
So, rather than saying Ah Li lived in the storage ring, it was more accurate to say she lived within her own stone coffin.
Her remnant soul was able to survive until now entirely because of the body inside the stone coffin.
Xiao Xue walked out feeling refreshed and knocked on Xiao Yi Xian's door next door. "Xian'er!"
A few minutes later, Xiao Yi Xian opened the door with faint dark circles under her eyes. "Teacher, morning..."
Seeing Xiao Yi Xian's appearance, Xiao Xue was slightly stunned. "Xian'er, are you... did you not sleep well?"
