Chapter 1872: Chapter 1870: In the Forest

This little creature has yellow fur, two big round eyes, and two small paws resting on its chest standing upright like a human. It appeared suddenly.

However, Gu Qiaoqiao didn’t mind, because there is indeed a little animal with spiritual intelligence around here, and it seems like it should be this one.

But, this little creature, she truly has never seen it before.

In the North, some people call it "Big-eyed Thief", and others call it "Yellow Weasel".

More often, it’s called "huangdaxian".

A very mysterious little creature in legend.

However, they indeed have the ability to confuse people, but right now, the little creature in front of them is rolling its eyes, about three or four meters away from them.

Its mouth moved a little, seemingly saying something.

Qin Yize and Gu Qiaoqiao exchanged a glance, and Qin Yize asked in a deep voice, "Qiaoqiao, its mouth is moving, can you hear it saying anything?"

"It seems to be talking to me, but I don’t know what it’s saying."

The little creature in front of them showed no hostility, so Qin Yize’s killing intent which had unknowingly spread earlier quietly retreated, but even so, the little creature didn’t dare look at Qin Yize, instead looking imploringly at Gu Qiaoqiao, seemingly asking for something.

However, this communication isn’t working, even if it’s asking her for something, Gu Qiaoqiao doesn’t know.

The two of them leisurely sat on the chairs, Qin Yize’s body lazily leaning against the back of the chair, with one hand resting protectively on Gu Qiaoqiao’s shoulder.

His gaze contained a hidden sharpness within calmness, as he stared at the little creature, in case it suddenly leapt to bite, though knowing the possibility was almost zero, he still had to be cautious.

There was no one here at the moment, but for safety’s sake, Gu Qiaoqiao still extended a hand to set up a Barrier here.

After this Barrier was set up, the little creature was noticeably very happy, even bowing repeatedly to Gu Qiaoqiao.

This was a little creature with spiritual intelligence somewhat similar to the White Wolf.

Gu Qiaoqiao had just checked, seemingly it was the only one in the entire forest with spiritual intelligence.

Gu Qiaoqiao thought for a moment, trying to communicate in the way she had originally done with the White Cat, asking in the virtual sea of ​​consciousness, "Little thing, are you looking for me for something? Is your companion injured?"

The yellow-furred little creature stared intently at Gu Qiaoqiao, seemingly surprised that this spiritually abundant girl in front of it could communicate in such a way.

It hadn’t reacted yet.

Qin Yize watched the little creature stare intently at Qiaoqiao, his brow furrowing a bit, restraining himself without interrupting Qiaoqiao’s communication with it.

Gu Qiaoqiao saw the little creature had spiritual intelligence, but it seemed to be communicating with humans for the first time, so she asked again, "Do you have anything urgent, if not hurry back to the forest. Not far away people are walking around; it’s very unsafe for you like this."

At this moment, the little creature finally figured out how Gu Qiaoqiao communicated with it, and a thin voice sounded in Gu Qiaoqiao’s mind, "I felt your presence from a great distance away, but I didn’t dare come to you, the person beside you is very intimidating. But I know you’re leaving soon, perhaps we won’t have another chance to meet, I’d like to ask you something, will you tell me?"

Indeed, it was asking her something.

Gu Qiaoqiao knew some things regarding the little creature’s legend.

However, when transforming into a human, it would seek someone to ask—it asks the person, does it resemble a human or a god?

The human’s answer is important to it and aids its future cultivation.

Of course, many people in the stories respond humorously.

No one actually says you resemble a human or a god seriously.

After all, it’s just a story, people listen and smile, not taking it seriously.

But today, since this little creature has spiritual intelligence, and the forest here is filled with Spiritual Energy, it resembles a Sika Deer or a White Wolf, but of course it can’t compare to the White Cat, as the White Cat is a born Divine Beast.

But this is already quite impressive.

However, isn’t it supposed to ask its question when transforming into human form?

Gu Qiaoqiao nodded nonetheless, gently telling it in her mind, "You can ask, if it’s something I know, I’ll tell you."

"I’ve lived a long time already, I just want to ask you, can I become human in the future?"

Gu Qiaoqiao raised an eyebrow; it was about what she expected, but how should this question be answered?

For this world, can the little creature cultivate into a human form?

Alas, her knowledge in this area is truly lacking; if only Uncle was here.

Then the little creature looked eagerly at Gu Qiaoqiao, waiting for her answer, as if her answer was as decisive as a royal decree.

Gu Qiaoqiao blinked, consideringly said, "I have two Spirit Beasts by my side, one is the White Wolf, the other is the White Tiger. The White Wolf came from the far North and has been beside the White Tiger, and over time gained spiritual intelligence; we’ve been together a long time, but they’ve never asked me this question."

"White Tiger." The little creature’s eyes lit up, "Is it the Divine Beast, Lord White Tiger?"

"Yes, it is. For convenience, he is now in cat form."

The little creature clasped its paws together, quietly asking, "We, in our clan, have only this purpose for cultivation, but now in a thousand leagues, I am the only one left in this clan, I am very lonely, so I want to become a human."

This little creature was quite persistent; Gu Qiaoqiao hadn’t expected to encounter such a situation today.

After thinking a bit, Gu Qiaoqiao patiently said, "I see your cultivation time hasn’t been very long, thinking about this issue seems a bit premature and might affect your future cultivation, besides, as I said, your form should be less restricted while traveling; just choose whatever you like."

Gu Qiaoqiao wasn’t unwilling to promise anything, but for someone with Spiritual Energy and a creature with spiritual intelligence, they shouldn’t make any promises.

Once a promise is formed, causal links will grow between them over time.

Gu Qiaoqiao felt her life was already complicated enough, truly not wanting the little creature mixed into human society, as it’s too dangerous, it differs from the White Wolf and the White Cat.

Unexpectedly, the little creature seemed very satisfied with Gu Qiaoqiao’s answer, its small paws held together, respectfully bowing, "I understand, I understand everything now, thank you so much..."

It then turned around, running toward the distance like a wisp of smoke, quickly disappearing.

Gu Qiaoqiao rubbed her forehead.

Qin Yize knitted his brow, thinking Gu Qiaoqiao had hurt herself, worrying as he checked her over. With some irritation and helplessness, he said, "Ah, your disposition to court trouble, little creatures like that obviously belong in the forest, avoid too much entanglement with them, they’ll cause huge problems if they enter the human world."
