Cheng Xiaoxiao was previously entirely focused on the hair before she checked on Chu Yunshen and the others.

She did not expect something else to be buried under the ground.

Cheng Xiaoxiao felt annoyed when she caught sight of a faint green light with the corner of her eye.

When was this going to be over?

This won’t do!

After she was done with this, she had to read up on eight trigrams and five elements. Otherwise, she would keep falling into traps like this one.

She was not really a cat, so she did not have nine lives. If she kept getting into trouble, she did not have the luck to escape unscathed each time.

Cheng Xiaoxiao thought about all the things she had suffered ever since she transmigrated. After facing off Uncle Gen, she felt terribly miserable.

If she wasn’t good enough, she would get beaten up.

She could not wait for people to control her.

He simply knew I Ching. That was no big deal. After she was done mastering it, she would be more powerful than all of them!

She was going to be even better at I Ching than them!

Cheng Xiaoxiao continued digging as she contemplated.

This time, the object was buried deep in the ground. Cheng Xiaoxiao couldn’t find it after digging for a long time.

Since Chu Yunshen and the others had yet to regain consciousness, Cheng Xiaoxiao dug as she waited for them to wake up.

“Come on! Where are you?”

Although she was unable to get to it just yet, she could see that the faint flickering light had gradually become a strong ray of light.

Even though Cheng Xiaoxiao did not know what was buried under the ground, she had a feeling it was not an evil object. Instead, it was a real treasure.

However, how did this treasure end up being under this evil formation?

“Hmm? I finally got to it!

Cheng Xiaoxiao sensed the sword sheath hitting something hard. It did not seem to be earth.

This must be it!

Cheng Xiaoxiao threw aside the sword sheath and quickened her pace.

Instead, Cheng Xiaoxiao used her hands to slowly dig bit by bit until she finally managed to clear all the earth on the object and saw what it was.

It was a…

A jade box?

Cheng Xiaoxiao contemplated as she reached her hand to touch the jade box and realized how cool it was when an elderly voice suddenly rang from behind her.

“What are you looking at?”

“Who’s that?”

Cheng Xiaoxiao was wrapped in thought when she suddenly heard the voice, so she was instantly startled.

She frantically turned but got so scared that she shouted at the top of her lungs.

“Ahhh…”

It was none other than Uncle Gen whom she had knocked out with a rock previously.

Since Cheng Xiaoxiao had smashed a rock on his head, blood and broken flesh were visible on it.

Blood trickled down the wrinkles all over his face leaving behind a ghastly trail of blood making him even more eerie-looking.

“A ghost!”

Cheng Xiaoxiao thought Uncle Gen had taken the shape of a vengeful spirit after death and was here for revenge. She finally realized what was going on when she noticed his body was gone.

Uncle Gen only passed out earlier. By the time she was done digging up the hair and jade box, Uncle Gen woke up naturally.

Cheng Xiaoxiao was too careless. She was too engrossed in studying the jade box that she failed to notice Uncle Gen waiting for her.

Uncle Gen revealed his yellowed and incomplete set of teeth as he gave out a sinister chuckle. He seemed like the God of Death with the bloodstains on his face.

“Who says you can touch it?” Uncle Gen pointed at the jade box as Cheng Xiaoxiao came close to it. All the wrinkles on his face made him look sinister. “Keep your hands off it. If you get out of the way now, I will give you a quick death!”

“Ptooey!” Cheng Xiaoxiao was tickled by how shameless Uncle Gen was and said promptly, “Are you an idiot?”

Cheng Xiaoxiao had never seen someone as shameless as him.

What did he mean by giving her a quick death? In that case, she would never let him have the jade box if he could not kill her!

Cheng Xiaoxiao knew that the jade box was important. Regardless of its use, she had plenty of time to find out in the future.

Did Uncle Gen want the jade box too? Impossible.

Heavens knew what Uncle Gen would do to Cheng Xiaoxiao if she gave up the jade box.

Cheng Xiaoxiao was no fool. There was no way she would do as Uncle Gen asked.

Uncle Gen was furious when he saw Cheng Xiaoxiao had no intention of budging and even insulted him. His hand trembled in anger as it reached towards Cheng Xiaoxiao.

“Get out of my way!”

Cheng Xiaoxiao looked at Uncle Gen as he approached her. For some reason, he was dragging his lame leg around and was unable to move it around normally as he could earlier.

Uncle Gen was unable to use his legs normally, so he could only inch towards Cheng Xiaoxiao particularly slowly.

Cheng Xiaoxiao detected the huge agony Uncle Gen was in with every step he took. She was unsure if he was hurt in the head or was it his legs.

Was it because she had just destroyed his formation?

Was he unable to use Yin energy? Was he unable to walk without Yin energy?

That was perfect!

In that case, why hadn’t Chu Yunshen and the others woken up yet?

Regardless of whether the formation was active, Uncle Gen was incapable of running after Cheng Xiaoxiao or killing her.

Uncle Gen was about to summon an attack and was gradually approaching her, so Cheng Xiaoxiao couldn’t be bothered with the jade box for now.

Neither Cheng Xiaoxiao nor Uncle Gen knew martial arts.

She ran off to hide as she said things to agitate Uncle Gen, “Catch me if you can, you stupid old man!

Uncle Gen was no fool. He imperceptibly heaved a sigh of relief when Cheng Xiaoxiao left the jade box alone.

Blood was still trickling down his head and he was unable to move nimbly. After chasing Cheng Xiaoxiao a few steps, he felt giddy from all the blood loss and had to stop.

“Cold Wind Attack!”

“Again?” Cheng Xiaoxiao was just worrying about whether the jade pendant would suddenly lose spiritual power in the middle of battle.

Cheng Xiaoxiao didn’t have to be worried anymore. She stopped running and halted where she was as she quietly waited for Uncle Gen’s Cold Wind Attack to reach her.

It was time!

Sure enough, the jade pendant beamed.

“How is this possible? Evil energy would have entered your body from the Cold Wind Attack and finished you off. Why are you perfectly fine?” Uncle Gen thought his eyes were playing tricks on him when he saw Cheng Xiaoxiao standing there in one piece.

“Cold Wind Attack is nothing but trash! Of course, I’m fine!” Cheng Xiaoxiao smiled at Uncle Gen contemptuously.

“Impossible! Absolutely impossible!” Uncle Gen could not believe it and kept summoning attacks. The moment the Cold Wind Attack reached Cheng Xiaoxiao, it got sucked into the jade pendant.

“Anything is possible. Haven’t you heard? Moreover, you are not the first man to have self-doubt because of me,” said Cheng Xiaoxiao as she comforted Uncle Gen. “Don’t waste time doubting yourself. You are genuinely weak.”

Uncle Gen couldn’t believe his eyes. He wanted to rip Cheng Xiaoxiao to shreds as he roared and continued attacking.

“This audacity! Prepare to die!”

Cheng Xiaoxiao felt a little bad. After all, there were plenty of fools out there, but none of them were as stubborn as him.

“You weren’t even able to kill a cat. How could you dream of killing me? You really should just wake up!”

Uncle Gen was stunned when he heard what Cheng Xiaoxiao said. He turned to look at the corner in the house and realized the lion cat’s corpse was long gone.

In hindsight, he recalled seeing the lion cat’s eyes moving earlier. However, there was clearly no one else in the house. Why did he end up attacked until he passed out?

Who did it?

Uncle Gen was unable to wrap his mind around it, so he kept staring at the corner.

Cheng Xiaoxiao was in no hurry. She even patiently waited for him to gather his thoughts before she tried to help.

“Do you have a lot of questions? I can help if you want.”

Cheng Xiaoxiao blinked with her big, beautiful eyes innocently as she secretly smiled cunningly. She spoke to Uncle Gen in a serious tone, “Don’t you want to know where the cat went? Don’t you want to know how I showed up here?”

Uncle Gen almost caved in and asked, but he stubbornly refused to say a word.

Cheng Xiaoxiao continued reasoning with him. “If you find out who attacked you, you can seek revenge. Also, don’t you want to kill the cat?”

“That stupid animal and my attacker deserve to die!” Uncle Gen gnashed his teeth angrily as he thought about his predicament and automatically answered Cheng Xiaoxiao.

“See?” Cheng Xiaoxiao nodded. She shockingly proceeded to tell Uncle Gen the truth, “Sadly, I am the stupid cat. Also, I was the attacker!”

This was such huge news to Uncle Gen that he was unable to wrap his mind around it when he heard what Cheng Xiaoxiao said. He could only stand completely stunned and was incapable of saying a word.

Cheng Xiaoxiao gave herself 99 marks for successfully making him doubt himself. She did not give herself 100 marks so that she wouldn’t get cocky.

She simply adored the expression on Uncle Gen’s face!

Didn’t he act like a hooligan?

Hadn’t he acted as though everything was under his control?

Cheng Xiaoxiao furtively laughed nonstop until she eventually laughed out loud.

Cheng Xiaoxiao’s laughter finally made Uncle Gen snap out of his shock.

To be precise, Cheng Xiaoxiao had successfully triggered Uncle Gen even harder than before.

Uncle Gen glared at her so viciously that it felt as though his eyes were fuming. Veins throbbed on his forehead as he inhaled deeply.

His face was as yellow as wax and his lips had lost color as he gnashed his jagged teeth. He couldn’t help trembling as he stood there.

“Oh? Are you angry now?” Cheng Xiaoxiao continued to anger Uncle Gen.

Cheng Xiaoxiao felt Uncle Gen was only capable of attacking her with one move, so she wanted to help seek revenge for Chu Yunshen and the others.

“Humph. You stupid kid. It doesn’t matter. Now, I will give you a taste of what I am truly capable of!”

Cheng Xiaoxiao was no longer afraid of Uncle Gen’s threats. After all, Uncle Gen ended up fooled by her repeatedly after he said the same thing five minutes ago.

Uncle Gen naturally detected Cheng Xiaoxiao’s newfound confidence. However, he did not get upset and laughed.

Cheng Xiaoxiao merely thought Uncle Gen was getting confused from all the anger. Otherwise, it was impossible for him to calm down so quickly and beam at her as though he were a chrysanthemum in bloom.

Uncle Gen used complicated gestures to summon an attack. This time, it was genuinely different from his previous moves.

However, Cheng Xiaoxiao did not take it to heart. After all, Uncle Gen’s summoning moves were all rather complicated. Since Cheng Xiaoxiao was not an expert, she could not tell the difference.
