The difficult path of cultivation for a grassroots female practitioner

Chapter 1128 Return

Chapter 1128: Return

Shui Wuhen's departure left Xiao Han feeling quite depressed for a while.

To keep herself occupied and avoid getting bored and having an even harder time, Xiao Han took over the catering services for the lynx mother.

Every day, they tirelessly traverse the mountains and forests, outwitting and outmaneuvering the big gray wolf, searching for prey such as wild rabbits and pheasants.

The mother lynx really wanted to move to a different place, since the presence of a large gray wolf there would be very detrimental to her raising her cubs in the future.

But Xiao Han would bring it a meal every other day, so it didn't have to go out to find food to fill its stomach, which made it very reluctant to give up this comfortable life.

As winter turned to spring, and hibernating animals emerged to search for food, the mother lynx gave birth to five kittens.

Generally speaking, animals that raise their young alone will not allow other animals to approach their nests.

Throughout the lynx's entire pregnancy, Xiao Han brought it food, and it had long been accustomed to Xiao Han's presence.

Seeing so many kittens whose eyes hadn't even opened yet, Xiao Han hunted even harder.

Spring has arrived, and the streams are once again a great place for fishing.

Now, the other animals in this mountain forest are used to having a lynx, which always stands in the shallow water like an otter, waiting for fish to swim. It is not only unafraid of water, but also a good swimmer.

With Xiao Han's care, the mother lynx had no trouble raising her cubs.

Days slipped by like this.

Once this batch of kittens had left their mother lynx, only Xiao Han and the mother lynx remained in this area.

Xiao Han thought that life would continue like this, and she would always stay by the mother lynx's side.

But when she brought prey to the mother lynx again, she found that the prey she had brought the day before was still in the den, indicating that the mother lynx had not returned for two days.

Did something happen to the lynx mother?

Xiao Han dropped the prey in her mouth and began searching for the mother lynx.

She searched the entire forest but found neither the mother lynx nor any large wild animals that could threaten her.

She didn't know whether the lynx mother had encountered danger or had left the forest.

Two more days passed, and the mother lynx was still nowhere to be found. Xiao Han felt as if she was the only one left in the world, and she had no idea what the point of her living here was.

She always thought that by living well and living out the life of a lynx, she would have delivered a perfect answer to this mental ordeal.

But in reality, the fact that she has human thoughts means that she can't live a life like an ordinary lynx.

She cannot be like a female lynx, letting her body's instincts dictate her actions, constantly going into heat, mating, and reproducing.

She was willing to work tirelessly to hunt in order to support her lynx mother, not because she was so great or was giving back to her lynx mother.

In fact, it was the presence of the lynx mother that gave her an emotional anchor, preventing her from living a lonely life without any goals.

It's not that the lynx mother can't live without her, but rather that she can't live without the lynx mother.

Now that her mother lynx is gone, she suddenly feels that she doesn't know how she will survive in the future.

For ordinary wild animals, life is happy as long as they can fill their stomachs every day and avoid being caught by predators.

But for a lynx with a human soul, filling its stomach is secondary; mental anguish can overwhelm everything.

Xiao Han finally decided that she would leave this familiar mountain forest, leave the nest that Shui Wuhen had carefully built for her, and go to live an adventurous but exciting wandering life.

She had climbed to the treetops and gazed into the distance; she wanted to see a bigger world.

Then, she randomly chose a direction and started walking forward continuously.

Thanks to the lynx's agile body and the abundance of trees in the forest, she managed to escape several attacks and bites by climbing trees.

This exciting life allowed her to finally rediscover the joy of living.

There's a saying: "If you don't court death, you won't die."

As she walked through the forest that day, although she felt the forest was very quiet, she also felt that there was danger all around, but it would also be easy to escape, so she didn't pay much attention.

She wanted to cross this mountain and reach the summit of the even higher mountain next door.

Suddenly, a gust of wind swept in, and before Xiao Han could react, she was pinned down by thick, sharp claws and then choked.

As the sharp teeth pierced her neck, she saw clearly the killer who ended her life: a huge tiger.

When Xiao Han regained consciousness inside the small tower, she was stunned for a long time.

When she was a lynx, she felt that having human thoughts and living like a lynx would be very difficult. But now that she's actually back, she actually misses the days she spent as a lynx.

At this moment, the voice of the little tower spirit rang out, "Um, you're back, so go out now. This is the realm of gods."

It was a prank that it put Xiao Han to live as a wild lynx, and now that Xiao Han is back, it still feels a little guilty.

Xiao Han hurriedly asked, "Has Shui Wuhen returned yet?"

The spirit said, "He's been back for a while now and has already gone to do his assessment tasks."

Xiao Han breathed a sigh of relief, as long as she didn't reincarnate into another beast's body.

She immediately turned fiercely to the spirit of the tower and said, "As a spirit that manages all the heavens and myriad realms, you actually took revenge on me for a single wrong word, deliberately messing with me and even implicating my friend. You will be punished by your master for this."

The little tower spirit felt guilty, but it wouldn't admit it in front of Xiao Han.

He immediately shouted, "Letting you be wild beasts is a test of your Dao heart. You ants don't know what's good for you. No wonder you've always been an ant."

Xiao Han chuckled coldly, "You're full of 'ants, ants.' In the eyes of the Creator God, there is no distinction between noble and ant among all things in this world. Even your master is not as snobbish as you."

She felt that although the spirit of this little tower possessed extraordinary abilities, these abilities were more like some programs set up for it by the creator god.

These programs definitely contain certain restrictions on the spirit.

For example, you can't attack living beings outside of your mission.

In other words, no matter how mischievous the little tower spirit is, it will never do anything that crosses the line.

The spirit's mind seems to be that of a child who hasn't grown up yet, so one can't simply fawn over it.

Sure enough, as soon as Xiao Han said that, the little tower spirit immediately cried out guiltily, "Isn't 'ant' what you humans call low-level cultivators? Why can't I be called that too? Hmph, get out of here right now."

After saying that, he moved Xiao Han outside the tower.

Xiao Han deliberately acted very angry, of course, in order to get some benefits from it.

Therefore, she hurriedly called out to the little black tower: "If I ever encounter the Creator God, I will let the Creator God judge the matter. If you want me to let it go, then give me some benefits and we'll be even."

Unfortunately, the spirit of the little tower was clearly not threatened by her and disappeared in an instant.
