Chapter 326: After Disguising Herself as a Man, the Rabbit Spirit Ran Away with the Ball 36
"You are not a good person, and I am not a good person either—we are a perfect match," Feng Qing insisted, still confessing his feelings, "I've realized now, you like your cousin, don't you?!"
Su Zhiruan: "...No."
"It's lively here," she changed the subject, pointing in a direction, "Young Master Feng, there is a sesame pancake shop over there that's really good. Would you like to try it?"
Feng Qing's mind was not clear, and upon hearing Su Zhiruan's suggestion, he felt he should find a place to cool down. Once he had adjusted his mood, he could come back and find Su Zhiruan again. Thus, he said, "I will go buy some. Just stay here and don't move around."
Su Zhiruan obediently nodded, "Okay."
This was a golden opportunity that came once in a lifetime.
After Feng Qing turned to leave, Su Zhiruan took out a talisman she had prepared earlier, pinching it between her fingertips.
The street was crowded and noisy; naturally, she couldn't teleport just anywhere. Hence, Su Zhiruan quickly found a clothing store.
"Miss, what would you like to look at?" The shop owner approached eagerly, ready to give her a thorough introduction, "We have everything here."
"I want that set," she said, pointing directly at a pink garment hanging on the wall. Su Zhiruan took out a Spirit Stone, "This is the money."
"Ah?! Miss, this—" the shop owner, looking at the Spirit Stone as if it were a hot potato, said, "This could buy all the clothes in the shop, Miss—"
Su Zhiruan, holding the clothes, went straight to the fitting room.
At that moment, her heartbeat quickened, and her pace hastened significantly.
Just as she entered the fitting room, she activated the talisman and was enveloped in white light.
The next second, she had completely vanished from the fitting room.
The shop owner, unaware of what had happened, scratched her head, thinking it was a new fad among the wealthy, and paid it no mind.
Activating the talisman required two pieces to set a fixed location for free switching between them.
On her way here, Su Zhiruan had already quietly set a fixed position midway.
After a dizzying sensation swept through her brain, she found herself relocated, now at the foot of Sishi Mountain.
Sishi Mountain was an entire mountain range, hidden here, the possibility of being discovered was very slim.
She touched her abdomen, then stimulated her Spiritual Energy to transform back into her original form and hid inside a narrow cave.
The cave was very small, capable of accommodating only one rabbit. Besides her, no one else could enter.
Just in case, Su Zhiruan had also bought some cheap items from the System Mall to temporarily cut off the demonic scent.
After doing all this, she curled up in the cave and quietly waited.
The reproduction of rabbits differed from humans. She chose this place to stay for her own reasons.
If the little rabbit in her belly took after its father, there might only be one or two, but if it took after the Rabbit Clan, there might be a whole litter.
Su Zhiruan was uncertain whether she would give birth to a human or a little rabbit. Moreover, giving birth in her original form was faster than in human form, so she had planned everything well in advance, just waiting for the day of delivery.

When Feng Qing returned with the sesame pancakes, he looked left and right, only to find that Su Zhiruan was nowhere to be seen.
Initially, he thought that Su Zhiruan must have gone to relieve herself and surely would not go far, so he stood there holding the pancakes and waited.
But when an hour passed, he suddenly sensed something was amiss.
Even if she had gone out of town to relieve herself, it wouldn't take this long to return, would it?
The more Feng Qing thought about it, the more uneasy he felt. He began to ask around house by house.
"Ma'am, have you seen the woman who came with me earlier?"
"Young man, the lady who came with me earlier, wearing a pink dress, have you seen her?"
"Uncle, the woman who was walking with me, have you seen where she went?!"
...
He asked around for a while, but received no concrete answers.
Just as Feng Qing was becoming frantic and at a loss, he suddenly noticed the clothing shop on the streetside.
"Have you seen a woman in a pink dress?" Feng Qing asked, while glancing inside the store.
"Wearing a pink dress? There have been many!" the shop owner assuredly said, patting his chest, "There are lots of them here."
"I came here to find someone," Feng Qing intended to turn around and leave.
However, just then, the shop owner suddenly slapped his forehead, "You know what, there was something odd. Wearing a pink dress, and she seemed very flustered."
Feng Qing immediately turned back around, "What about her appearance?"
"Appearance…" the shop owner continued recalling, "She was a very pretty lady, with almond-shaped eyes and chubby cheeks, wearing a pink skirt, but she looked very hurried."
A huge weight lifted from Feng Qing's heart, "Then where is she now?"
"Trying on clothes, that fitting room." The shop owner pointed at the first fitting room, "But she's been in there for a long time, and I don't know if it's because the clothes are too intricate."
Now that he knew she was probably right there, Feng Qing wasn't in a hurry anymore and sat down on the rocking chair inside the store, "I'll wait."
"Alright, alright!" Although the shop owner didn't know the identity of the man before her, after seeing the genuine Five-Colored Feather Robe he wore, she went along with his wishes.
