Chapter 31: You Promised We

【The ghost on this second floor is way too pretty!】

【I thought all the ghosts here were the same.】

【I never expected that the one who kept helping Su Qiu was actually a Hu Yao. Ahem, can I take a turn now? I want to...】

【You'd better stop thinking about it. Even if such a good thing happened, it wouldn't be your turn!】

【Why wouldn't it be my turn? What if the next Gui Tan dungeon happens to pick me?】

【What if the one that picks you is a different dungeon?】

【Ahem, ahem! We need to think about things in a positive light. That kind of thinking of yours is unacceptable!】

【Exactly, exactly!】

【Give it a rest. If you really went to the Guiyi Zhijia, you'd only be the second Qian Gu Guang, not Su Qiu.】

【.】

Although the Hu Yao's face was completely obscured by the darkness.

Yet... just by relying on the graceful figure in the bottom right corner of the screen, people could conclude that she must be a peerless beauty capable of toppling kingdoms! To have a Hu Yao of such beauty following him.

It seemed that this life-risking survival wasn't so bad after all. And just at this moment.

A cry rang out once again in the live broadcast room.

"Meow."

Bai Ze's cry pulled back the thoughts of everyone that had been drifting away. Everyone gathered their gazes on the live broadcast room in unison, looking forward to the scene that would follow.

It was seen that Bai Ze, having arrived on the second floor of the room, used its paw to push the food placed on the floor.

It seemed... to be signaling for her in the darkness to eat this delicacy.

Hu Yao:??? This scene left the appearing Hu Yao completely bewildered.

If she remembered correctly, the cat in the house was both the tolerance for the Destiny Holder and, at the same time, her vessel, right?

As a vessel.

The cat's subjective consciousness would be occupied by her from time to time.

【Do not bring me along at night!】

This was the reason why this rule existed in the note!

The rule was warning the Destiny Holder.

At night, the cat's body would be occupied by her; carrying the cat meant carrying a danger! "The cat's thoughts and mine are constantly alternating."

"Who between the cat and me can occupy this body for a longer time depends entirely on how many rules the Destiny Holder has broken and the severity of them!"

"In other words, whether this guy has caused the cat to have too serious of a positioning error."

"So, to a certain extent."

"It is impossible for the cat and me to exist at the same time, so naturally, this situation shouldn't be happening right now!"

"What on earth is going on?"

This rule was a hidden rule of the Guiyi Zhijia, a rule that only they, the Guiyi, knew!

How did the cat, bound by the rules, come here to meet her?

Just as the Hu Yao was puzzled by this, her peripheral vision suddenly caught sight of Su Qiu sitting in the hallway. At this moment, she seemed to have an answer in her heart.

"This guy can slow down the binding effect of the rules on me."

"Then..."

"The cat coming here doesn't seem so unexpected after all."

Thinking of this, the Hu Yao put away her doubts about the cat coming here.

She cast her gaze curiously onto the little cat.

She wanted to see what this little guy had come here for under Su Qiu's guidance.

"Meow!"

It was also at this moment that the cat let out an even sharper cry.

At the same time, it impatiently used its paw to push the food on the floor one step further forward.

Seeing this.

The Hu Yao understood. The cat was sharing a portion of its food with her.

"These are for me?"

However, the Hu Yao still couldn't be sure, so she pointed at the food on the floor and asked the cat again.

The cat nodded: "Meow!"

It even gave the Hu Yao an eye-roll as it finished the action.

It was as if it were saying: You stupid thing! I, your master, have made it so obvious, and you still can't grasp it. You're so silly! And the Hu Yao perhaps would never have thought in her life.

That she would one day be looked down upon by a cat that served as her own vessel.

"... Thank him for me."

The Hu Yao didn't act coy; she knew very well that she needed this Spirit Herb to shake off the shackles of the rules, so she accepted it decisively.

Immediately, she turned and disappeared into the darkness.

And the moment the Hu Yao left, a system notification sound that only Su Qiu could hear rang out quietly.

【System Notification】: Bai Ze has sent a thousand-year Spirit Herb to the Hu Yao in your name. The Hu Yao is very grateful for this, Favorability +10!

【System Notification】: The Hu Yao's current favorability is 60.

【Hu Yao's Message】: This kindness cannot be covered by a simple 【Thank you】. I owe this little guy even more kindness.

【Hu Yao's Message】: I don't know how to repay it in the future. It's a good thing the audience in the Xianshishijie heard the system sound.

Otherwise.

They would inevitably cause a huge scene again.

After all, the example of Qian Gu Guang had just warned them: ghost talk is full of lies and must not be trusted!

But when it came to Su Qiu's side.

The ghost talk was gone.

The Guiyi creatures in this Gui Tan even had the intention of repaying kindness! This difference in treatment was truly too obvious! The perspective returns to the Guiyi Zhijia.

Seeing the Hu Yao honestly accept the Spirit Herb and leave, the cat did not intend to stay here either.

"Meow."

After letting out a soft cry.

It stepped with elegant paces and returned to Su Qiu's side, chewing and swallowing the Spirit Herb on the side slowly. What the cat and the Hu Yao did not know was that their conversation and every move were seen by something hidden in the darkness. Guiyi Zhijia.

In that mirror capable of reflecting the entire living room.

A strange shadow flashed by quietly.

She arrived at a place very close to the hallway and whispered softly: "I knew there was definitely a ghost in this!"

She had already sensed something was wrong when her talk with the Hu Yao fell through.

After all, freedom had always been the thing they craved most! She did not believe the Hu Yao would give up freedom for anything else, unless that thing was freedom itself! Therefore.

After ending the conversation, the ghost shadow had been lurking in the darkness.

She tried to uncover the reason for her "good sister's" betrayal.

The ghost shadow had thought this process would last for a very long time; she did not expect to get the answer so quickly.

That kid could actually help them break free from the shackles of the rules and obtain freedom!

The ghost shadow felt somewhat indignant, and she whispered: "If I had known this earlier, would I have still made a move against that strange guy?"

That guy had many secrets on him.

For instance, using the power of a mortal to contend against Guiyi creatures!

To be his enemy,

even the ghost shadow who had been rooted in the Guiyi Zhijia for countless years did not have absolute certainty.

She might even pay a bloody price for it! If a second path to obtaining freedom existed, then the ghost shadow would absolutely not take this risk. However! This second path had actually always existed!

It was just that.

Only the Hu Yao knew about it!

Thinking of this, the ghost shadow could not help but grit her teeth: "It was clearly agreed back then that we would obtain freedom together; never did I think you would actually go behind my back and eat alone!"
