Solving all the personal problems been having.
Sorry for the inconvenience and late notice
Chapter Edited by Chinthani
A small problem had sprung up between Aurora and the snow leopards.
After reaching maturity, an animal could transform into a human form and back if they wished to. This was not unheard of. In fact, animals in their infancy had heard the elders mention this.
Although the snow leopards had the ability to transform, their current form could roughly tear apart prey, while their human form lacked sharp claws and teeth. They would also have to walk weirdly and their bodies would be weak, so they didn’t understand why Aurora insisted on transforming into a human.
Had she just been a random hare, maybe there wouldn’t have been any disagreements. However, she had already been accepted into the snow leopard tribe through means of strength. She was already a member of the tribe, so the elders all tried to persuade her with good intentions. Until she made her resolve clear, misunderstandings were inevitable between the two parties.
However, her resolution resulted in a greater conflict, compelling her to move out and find a random cave to dwell in first. Regardless of how pained, uneasy, and panicked she was, she had no regrets (…) Or rather, with a complex, sullen, and distressed look, she had run away with the chief’s beloved, kind-hearted Alice to “live together.”
Blockhead dad, Hilton: “…” Alice!! QAQ
Allen: “…” Aurora, you scheming hare! QAQ
Several days later, Hilton the Chief who could stand it no more visited the cave. He looked at the cave that was strangely decorated but felt comforting. His impression of Aurora slightly increased. He then licked his beloved daughter’s fur, using distinctive animal language to express sincere and earnest wishes for her to try and persuade Aurora. After all, Aurora was acknowledged as one of their clan members. He didn’t want to remove her just because of this trivial matter.
This shouldn’t be a reason to exclude her, but a human suddenly appearing amongst a pack of snow leopards… looked quite strange.
Also— the most important thing was to bring his daughter back!
Su YanXi sat down, her pure bright blue eyes gleaming beautifully. She shook her ears, her expression grave. In the next moment, she couldn’t help but intimately rub against Hilton’s neck, giggling as the corners of her mouth drew back into a smile.
Hilton: “…” Did darling really hear me QAQ
“I want to respect Aurora’s decision, father.” After expressing her longing, Su YanXi whispered slowly, “I believe that Aurora has her own opinions. So father and the others must not force her, ok?”
Hilton, after being fooled by his daughter’s dirty tricks of acting like a spoiled child, was rubbed until he became a lump. How could he remember someone like Aurora? He only laughed foolishly and agreed.
At this time, Aurora returned in a cheerful mood, having brought back prey. She stepped into the cave and saw this scene. She couldn’t help but cross her arms, immediately in a bad mood and stared with jealousy[1]. Then her gaze settled on Hilton holding Alice’s claws.
However, when Hilton sensed danger and turned around, he only saw a lovely young lady walking towards them with a graceful and smiling expression. Hilton couldn’t help but doubt; Could it just be that he was getting old and his senses were worsening?
“Chief, are you also here to persuade me?” Aurora walked over and squatted. With one hand, she pulled Su YanXi over in a familiar manner. She used her other hand to avoid Hilton’s reflex of reaching out for his daughter, all the while without leaving a trace of this happening. She maintained a completely good-natured and gentle smile throughout.
Chief daren with his claws in mid-air: “…”
(TN– Daren -大人- is a title of respect to superiors. Couldn’t think of an English equivalent)
This damned hare did this on purpose, didn’t she? Hilton suspiciously looked at Aurora, who was not lacking confidence in the slightest. When he looked at the respect and sincerity in her red eyes, he couldn’t help but deny his speculation.
” *Cough* Actually, I’m here because—” He cleared his throat, intending to speak, but suddenly glimpsed at his daughter looking at him from the corners of her eyes. The words he had planned to say were immediately stopped.
“…just visiting Alice.”
Why was Alice turning to this hare, instead of I, her father? 〒_〒
Hilton stared at the young lady who took his treasure, jealousy flowing through his veins.
Aurora didn’t sense Hilton’s hostility but there was a flash of sudden understanding across her face. She then settled her chin on top of Su YanXi’s head and brightly smiled. “So it’s just this huh. Actually, Alice also really missed you. The feelings between you and Alice are really intimate. En… but look at the sky, it’s not early anymore, is it—?
Hey, what’s with that tone of wanting to chase me away?! Alice is my family’s daughter and my treasure, you hear (╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻!!
“En, father, don’t worry.” Su YanXi didn’t perceive the atmosphere of roaring seas and fires of war between her father and her companion. At this time, she nodded and added another knife, “It’s quite nice here. Aurora takes care of me.”
Su YanXi didn’t know where Aurora got it from, but whatever fruits, nuts, cow’s milk, meat, and other food she wanted, it was all handed to her. Recently, she had been in Aurora’s care and fed to the point of forgetting her home and duty. Who knew that the female lead’s craftsmanship was also this great? She was proficient in sewing, making clothes, and cooking. Gentle, attentive and also considerate. These were simply the attributes of a wife!
Most importantly, she had no idea from where but Aurora had found the seasonings of modern times. Every time she sprinkled those seasonings on the meat and cooked it, it was simply delicious enough to make her want to swallow her own tongue!
007 could only stand in the corner to reflect. For the 13684th time he blamed himself, asking himself why he just had to screw up. He sneered “hehe,” all his strength gone.
Ever since the female lead changed into a human, she had lost all reason and doted on SuSu, to the extent that SuSu didn’t need to do anything and everything was prepared for her, even the food was personally fed to her. Showering, feeding, and comforting, everything SuSu needed was attentively taken care of.
—You said you were holding on to the female lead and not going to capture the male lead, and then you got enticed?! SuSu, what were you thinking! The female lead’s halo given was too f*cking strong!
007 that had been angered silly, burst into incessant phrases of swear words, completely forgetting the original intention of completing the task.
Wuwuwu, partner is being snatched away. What task is there to even complete TAT
And his partner just held a piece of barbecued meat in her mouth while smugly looking at him and swaying her tail. The interpretation of this is as follows ↓
Haha, 007, it’s a pity that you’re a system and can’t enjoy this delicious roasted meat! *gulu* *gulp*
Looking at Su YanXi’s stupid look, 007 groaned,【Moron!】
“Stupid system!” She said as she simultaneously “urged” her father to leave. Her retort to 007’s message was subconscious.
Only after retorting out of habit did Su YanXi react and pout. “Why are you blaming me again, stupid system?”
007 looked at her and the more he looked, the angrier he got.【Looking at you being stupid, stupid leopard!】After becoming an animal, her IQ had fallen below average, how disgraceful!
… if he fixed that, then they couldn’t be good friends anymore!
In a flash, Su YanXi retorted, “You’re the stupid one, stupid system!”
【Stupid SuSu!】
“Stupid system!”
The two turned away from each other in dislike. “Humph!╭(╯^╰)╮”
“Clan Head, I will look after Alice, you can rest assured. Of course, if you don’t trust me…”
Aurora saw that Hilton was holding on as if his life depended on it. Struggling and not wanting to go. She continued to smile, this time with faint frustration, but it was quickly replaced with a sympathetic look. However, her gaze remained on the outside of the cave, a classic case of saying one thing but meaning something different.
Her actions were too calmly executed. Even the experienced Hilton couldn’t help but admire her shamelessness. Sure enough, Alice’s insight was on point. With just one look you could see that this fella was not just a mere hare!
Hares can’t be this fierce and tough, hmph!
… wuwu, should’ve eaten her back then to avoid this unending trouble〒_〒
Stupid dad weeped with grief in his heart.
Su YanXi suddenly sneezed, cutting off the bickering between her and 007: “?”
“You don’t need to say one thing and mean another, the main reason why I am here is to check on how Alice is doing. I didn’t know if she could stay here without becoming homesick but—” Hilton lightly skipped over the unfinished words set up by Aurora and changed the course of his dialogue. “Actually, I was also here to try and convince you since it was convenient.”
Su YanXi shook her ears and unhappily look at her untrustworthy father.
Hilton unhurriedly added, “… But Alice persuaded me. She told me you had your own way of thinking and asked me to respect your decision—”
Aurora was moved and her grip on the snow leopard in her arms subconsciously relaxed.
Hilton took advantage of this to reach out for his daughter with his flexible and powerful tail. He pulled Su YanXi from the unguarded Aurora safely into his own embrace.
The blinking Aurora, having lost the beautiful beast in her embrace: “…”
Su YanXi, who didn’t have time to react: “…”
Aurora only saw Hilton’s good-natured and benevolent expression as he took Su YanXi into his arms. He apologized to Aurora, corners of whose mouth were stiff. “Oh, sorry, I’m just not used to Alice being in other beast’s’ embrace. You know, being a father is always like this. As long as there’s the slightest sign of disturbance, even at the merest rustle of the leaves, I get extremely nervous. My dear clan member, I trust you will not blame this poor father?”
Aurora stiffly pulled the corners of her mouth into a smile. “…he, hehe. Of course not, Chief. Hehehehe—” Crafty old fox!
Since when had snow leopards become such profound schemers? Wasn’t the nature of the beast world simple, only following the principle of “the weak are prey to the strong”? _(:_」∠)_
Witnessing this, 007 was immediately in high spirits. He couldn’t help but beat the rock wall as he laughed heartily. Completely happy, he rolled around in midair, nearly laughing until he was out of breath【Oh my mother! Serves you right female lead! Quite a day huh! You’ve been cheated haha! She’s been cheated by Hilton, sure enough the older the wiser ahahaha! As expected of SuSu’s idle father wahaha~】
Su YanXi, who was forced to hear this demonic voice, was itching to throttle him. She silently cried without tears, bitterly thinking: wasn’t this guy’s voice too demon-like?
End of Chapter 6! Thanks for Reading!
[1]-A pun. Original text states she stared with “rabbit/hare eyes.” With help from Baidu, it also means ‘looking with jealousy’
{Chapter Edited by Chinthani}
However, when Su YanXi rushed towards the two, Aurora suddenly broke away from Allen’s “entanglement.” Her eyes were glistening with teardrops, wearing the tear-stained face of a beauty as she staggered and fell on top of Su YanXi, and “wuwu”-ed as she lodged a complaint against Allen for bullying her.
Allen who finally had a chance to catch his breath after encountering an evil manipulator was immediately dumbfounded: “…”
Wait a minute. Bully?
After looking at the gorgeous cold light in Su YanXi’s blue eyes, Allen finally digested the meaning of evil Aurora’s words and the hairs on his body puffed up. Pei! Without a doubt, he liked Alice! And only Alice! Only a stupid animal would find this brutal, vicious, attention-seeking female beast compelling!
Pei pei pei! QAQ There was simply nothing good about her!!
007 seeing his sweet and naive host getting duped once again:【……】Pei, the female lead was shameless! QAQ
Following this incident, Su YanXi began to take strict precautions against other male beasts— especially against the male lead, Allen. In her opinion, no matter how fierce and scheming Aurora was, she had not yet matured. Aurora was part of the family, so it was natural to worry about her. She too had to be well protected.
To this, 007 could only sneer “hehe.”
One day, Aurora walked over to perform her role as a pillow. Su YanXi was accustomed to this and leaned on her. She suddenly felt the big cat’s body temperature gradually boiling; Aurora was stirring restlessly, twisting and turning incessantly.
As if having thought of something, Su YanXi promptly stood up. Her blue eyes stared at the big cat, who felt hot and unwell at the sudden empty space beside her. It was rare for her to be this tense. After all, this must be Aurora’s first time transforming. This was inevitably somewhat dangerous.
Then…
Su YanXi sat beside Allen, who unwittingly rubbed against her again. She watched with a grave expression as Aurora’s eyes suddenly opened, covered in mist and swirling with confusion. Those seemingly harmless red eyes were actually becoming threatening. All the fur on Aurora’s body suddenly stood up. The crisis-like feeling of a large beast silently staring arose from the bottom of her heart.
Strange. A threatening and menacing sight like this…
Wait a minute, could it be that?
Su YanXi suddenly turned her head and saw Allen looking wronged and whimpering, her eyes were struck with shock and horror.
Breeding! Season!!
The second these two words appeared in Su YanXi’s mind, she hurried to withdraw from the cave!
Aurora saw the snow leopard madly rushing towards the exit, as if she had seen a ghost. Aurora couldn’t help but lay down and whimper. The sound was dense with grief and desolation.
Su YanXi was about to step outside the cave, but then she suddenly stopped.
The mournful wails behind her were getting quieter, but the sound of it seemed to have invaded her mind. She suddenly felt pained.
007 coldy snorted and showed a sinister smile, rejoicing a little at Aurora’s misfortune. Serves you right, female lead! Thought you could snatch SuSu with this? Humph! I’ll tell you now, SuSu absolutely will not be fool—
007:【∑(っ°Д °;)っ Wait wait wait! SuSu, where are you going? What are you doing?! Hey, hey! Don’t be fooled ah, you idiot!!】
Aurora had given up hope and leaned against the rock wall but then saw a shadow looming over. She gained a bit of hope and opened her eyes. Sure enough, it was what she expected. The pretty snow leopard who had unconsciously been granted a place in her heart now stood in front of her. Those formerly cold and strict blue eyes now held a faint tinge of tolerance and helplessness towards her.
Aurora,the big cat, couldn’t help but show a weak yet blessed and satisfied smile.
—How great, Alice, you’ve returned.
……
【SuSu, just what were you thinking!】007 was exasperated, glaring at Su YanXi, whom the big cat was currently leaning on.【Do you not remember what the task was? What’s with you all of a sudden!】
Su YanXi grudgingly replied, “I know, 007. But how can I just abandon Aurora like this…”
How hateful. As expected, a new recruit must not be allowed to enter an S level world like this!
007 was unable to get angry at her like this and could only shift the blame onto himself who made the transfer mistake. The Lord of Systems had already admonished 007, calling it a disappointment that was always screwing up! If they had entered the F level Campus world, all would have been well, but how did an error occur in this step-by-step process?!
“After all, if I originally hadn’t treated her like that, Aurora wouldn’t have grown up to be so violent, following in my footsteps.” Su YanXi didn’t know what 007 was thinking. She only knew that she felt bitter whenever she recalled the scene of Aurora the hare resolutely grinding her teeth on a rock. How had she endured it?
It was just for the sake of catching up with me, so what was wrong with that…
Su YanXi silently sighed, knowing that she was too softhearted, but that scene was far too shocking, making her run away, step after step every time Aurora looked at her with a warm dependent expression. Until avoidance became a habit.
A very understanding 007:【……T▽T】Female lead, you scheming green tea b*tch! You were better off as a white lotus! Cheh! QAQ
Just who was the capture target here?! Wuwu, why did it feel that his SuSu was the one who was being targeted_(:_」∠)_
To love again is too tiring.
Th-that wasn’t right! They were both female, why do I not feel unwell in the slightest?!
007 who had been rolled up into a cloudball suddenly facepalmed with both hands, his expression also changing like he was about to shout. His face represented the ” 懵 ” character.
—This was absolutely not scientific!
I-it must be some ability of the female lead’s golden finger! Using witchcraft to confuse the hearts of others!
Hmph, the female lead’s halo had even expanded to influence a high-ranking system such as itself, and had confused it! He must register a complaint with the Lord of Systems!
007:【……】
The comfort of being unable to be deceived hehe T▽T
However, while 007 (one-sidedly) was resolving to become enemies with the female lead, Aurora was sticking to Su YanXi without being affected.
She knew that Su YanXi’s current treatment towards her was merely habitual tolerance, so whenever she felt unhappy, she would get a rub. At most, it would be a helpless lick and she did not dare overstep the boundary.
But that was fine. Right now, it was merely habitual tolerance. In the future, it will be habitual love. Aurora looked at the other’s pretty blue eyes, smiling with faint indulgence. Her heart was itching and so she deliberately pretended to feel wronged and confusedly looked at her as she licked her eye. Then the big cat, under Su YanXi’s helpless look, restrainedly licked her own fangs and internally smiled.
Beware, my dear Alice, habits are a dreadful occurrence.
>>>>>>>>
【SuSu, wake up!】
At night, while Su YanXi and Aurora slept soundly head to head next to each other, 007 called out next to Su YanXi’s ear. The sound continuously echoed.
The eyelids of the snow leopard reflexively trembled, nose on alert and lightly sniffed. After unconsciously finding out that there was no danger, she smacked her lips and approached the cosy body. Then she went back to sleep.
【…Su YanXi!!】Seeing her going back to sleep, 007’s head ached. His partner was great but she liked to sleep in, even shouting won’t wake her up. What to do? QAQ
…Forget it, it’s not like the one who would get scared tomorrow would be him. _(:_」∠)_
As a result, when Su YanXi heard Allen’s threatening and low roar, she woke up on alert. She looked at her hands and saw a harmless young lady who seemed lifeless.
“…” A human?
【Idiot, that’s Aurora! Yesterday night, she began to change into a human.】007 leisurely floated on top of her head, looking down in disdain.【I wanted to warn you. It’s a pity that a certain someone sleeps like the dead, not waking up no matter how much she gets shouted at.】
Su YanXi: “…!!” Huh, Aurora?!
And Aurora, who looked harmless in front of the rock wall, smiled and stared at Allen who was getting ready to attack. “Allen, you sure you want to wake up Alice with all the noise?”
Allen’s ears stood up, unable to understand her words. Also, why was this manner of speaking so… familiar?
The robust snow leopard tilted his head to the side and stepped forward to investigate. His muscles slightly relaxed until he caught sight of the “weird animal” suddenly flickering cold light from her red eyes.
Au! Ro! Ra!
Allen felt his tail being ruthlessly stepped on and let out a piercing “aowu.” In a flash, all the hairs on his body stood up and “swish,” she fled to Su YanXi, exposing her shivering butt.
That savage, damn rabbit had once again held a grudge and run to Alice “boohoohoo,” calling for help! QAQ
As for Aurora, she had a honeyed smile while watching Allen’s offended and stupid look. She then noticed Su YanXi opening her eyes, still hazy and sleepy. Su YanXi raised her head and looked at Aurora with a perplexed but curious glance.
Looking at Alice from this angle, she’s so cute, so cute!! (mind)
Aurora blushed and suddenly hugged the snow leopard who was observing her. Both of Aurora’s hands subconsciously suppressed Su YanXi’s reflexive struggling. She then used her face to rub against the fluffy white fur, unable to refrain from displaying a perverted smile.
Allen gulped and his rear legs subconsciously took a step back. Didn’t the elders say that all animals who changed into a human form were frail and collapsed after a single blow, and thus abandoned the idea?
B-but!
Then why can this fierce, damn rabbit still be able to suppress Alice!!
Allen, whose worldviews had been overturned, internally roared with rage.
Elder, quickly come and see this monster ah! QAQ
The Author has Something to Say:
Lighting up a candle for male lead. I feel like an unknown creature suddenly swallowed up all the comments. (What the devil) Otherwise, why would yesterday’s comments be less? _(:_」∠)_
*Squatting in the corner, drawing circles*
End of Chapter 5! Thanks for Reading!
Chapter Edited by Chinthani
YunGe’s simple “kitchen” had been set up beside the cave.
Presently unfolding was a scene that would astound anyone that were to witness it. The eminent and unapproachable Senior Martial Sister stealing a second glance at whom was blasphemous, was currently bent over, attempting to cook the meat of a flame beast. You saw that right! Cooking it!
Almost all the food available at Yunfu School had been created with spiritual power. As such, pans and other cookware could only be found in the Human realm. No one was allowed to descend to the mortal world without permission. And so, YunGe could only make do with the previously killed flame beast and absorb all the spiritual energy in the meat, then cook it…
“Master…” Huan Mo sat next to YunGe. She looked on, using her hands to support her cheeks. “Master…”
YunGe bent her index finger and rubbed her disciple’s nose. “Tomorrow, I will accompany you to Uncle Bai’s place. Eating too much meat is not good!”
Huan Mo frowned. “Master…”
“Don’t want to go??” YunGe thought that Bai ShuSheng’s appearance was what this girl was afraid of. “When looking at a person, don’t only look at the outside, understand? Uncle Bai’s character is not bad.” Judging based on looks was unacceptable!
“…” Huan Mo lowered her head. How should she say it? She didn’t dislike that person. She disliked the time her master spent with that person… although some of these words may be incomprehensible to the other.
Ultimately, after YunGe’s various coaxes, dinner was cooked.
At night, while YunGe meditated and Huan Mo climbed into her own bed, bundling herself up in the white-fur blanket.
Huan Mo seemed particularly well-behaved when sleeping and stayed still in one position throughout the night.
Today, YunGe couldn’t calm down and she sensed little fluctuations in her spiritual power.. She opened her eyes.
The interior of the cave was quiet enough to make her disciple’s breathing audible.
She stood up from where she had sat down to meditate. Her mind was in confusion.
It was still snowing outside. The scenery a vast expanse of whiteness from the snow.
YunGe looked at her disciple sleeping soundly and then left the cave without a sound.
Because of her disciple, YunGe’s cultivation base hadn’t improved lately.
However, she didn’t regret at all. The existence of this disciple had greatly reduced her anxiety.
YunGe walked through the thick layer of snow, wondering why Yunfu School was so fond of snow. It was snowing nearly all year round. Perhaps it was because the first school leader had Water spiritual veins. So amongst the big sects and schools, only Yunfu School was located amidst a world of ice and snow.
Creak YunGe shifted her sight towards the sound and saw Junior Suster, Lin Ling close by.
YunGe walked over. “It’s so late, why are you here?” YunGe felt a bit baffled.
“Senior Sister, I heard from Second Senior Brother about the situation between you and GuiYi sect’s leader…” Lin Ling rushed over. In her opinion, there was no one who could deserve Senior Sister…
“And?” YunGe was very curious about what she thought about this matter.
“GuiYi sect is too despicable!!” Lin Ling spoke as she panted with rage. “Using this kind of method to hook Senior Sister over!! They’re crossing the line!”
“This is a win-win situation…” YunGe moved from her line of sight. “Regarding Yunfu School or regarding GuiYi sect, it is the best choice for both.”
“No, it’s not!!” Lin Ling was angry. “When the time comes, they will definitely use the two geniuses for the reason of better descendants, and Senior Sister will…” Lin Ling felt unwell even thinking about it. Senior Sister, alone, was beautiful. Having a useless Martial Niece was annoying enough. Now that there was another annoying existence, Lin Ling felt unwell…
Anyone would be heartsick to see the person they had worshipped for many years fall down in front of them.
A level 3 Ice spiritual beast trembled, feeling a bad premonition. What was with that “little weak chicken” now?
It felt dejected. Why must that “little weak chicken” have its favorite smell, yet be so ferocious?!”
The so-called “little weak chicken” was eavesdropping on the conversation between her master and her not-good Martial Aunt. The transparent strands of spiritual energy that surrounded her slowly morphed into turned into tendrils of black energy, enough to cause someone to shudder. Her dark eyes instantly turned into a dark red. With her delicate and young face, the whole image was strange to look at.
YunGe felt that the surrounding spiritual energy was a bit off. She released her spiritual sense, but didn’t find anything.
Since there was nothing, she treated that split second of strangeness as an illusion.
“Senior Sister…” Lin Ling already had a sobbing tone “Senior Sister…”
YunGe’s heart felt warm. She hadn’t known that this girl had such deep feelings for her.
“Alright, it’s nothing, go back and sleep, it’s already so late!” YunGe said gently as she rubbed Lin Ling’s head.
Feeling the touch on her head and hearing the gentle voice, Lin Ling was startled for a moment. She looked up to see Senior Sister, the person whom she had worshipped for so long. Just then, a gust of cold wind blew and shook the branches, showering the two with countless snowflakes . Contrasting with the cold snow, the eminent and unapproachable person seemed to exude a gentle atmosphere.
“Master…” A nervous voice rang out, shattering the beautiful scene.
YunGe turned around to see her disciple standing outside in the snow wearing a single layer of clothing, shivering from the cold wind.
YunGe hurriedly went over to carry her up. “Why didn’t you wear clothes before coming out??”
Her body was as cold as ice, so YunGe swiftly drew her into her embrace. The girl buried her head in the embrace and said in a small voice “Master wasn’t there…”
YunGe patted her. “I just came out for a walk. Next time, remember to wear your cloak, understood?”
“Senior Sister…” Lin Ling felt that the scene before her eyes was too dazzling!! She had never seen this side of Senior Sister. The cold chills she had seemed to go away.
She had never seen her like this…
She had known that Senior Sister would treat this useless Martial Niece differently… but she didn’t know…
“Cough cough cough…,” The little girl suddenly coughed. YunGe had wanted to talk with Lin Ling, but was frightened instead. “Did you catch a cold?”
She turned around to look at Lin Ling. “Junior Sister, go back early. Don’t catch a cold.” She then carried her disciple back to the cave.
Lin Ling looked at her Senior Sister as her heart shed tears. Senior Sister, how could cultivators catch a cold? She was not like that waste who couldn’t draw in qi…
But… she now wanted to be just that… what to do?
End of Chapter 22! Thanks for Reading!
{Chapter Edited by Chinthani}
“Master, what’s the meaning of this?” YunGe asked with surprise.
Elder Lian raised his head to look at this Eldest disciple of his. Every time, this disciple of his would wear one expression, though this didn’t damage her fallen immortal-like temperament.
“YunGe, Guiyi Sect’s meaning is very clear.” Elder Lian sighed. Although Yunfu School had a fixed status in the cultivation world, they still had to yield to Guiyi Sect.
“Master, aren’t these matters negotiable?” YunGe was angry, but didn’t really take much offense. What’s more, he chose to tell her at this time. Was this not a kind of protection?
“…” Elder Lian chose not to say anything, but his meaning was obvious.
“I understand.” YunGe’s complexion was the same as ever as she exited Elder Lian’s palace. She then flew back to her cave.
YunGe was rather surprised. Her role in this story’s development was just that one chapter, “The Death of YunGe,” containing a brief several thousand characters. Although it was just a few thousand characters, she was certain the YunGe at that time was still at Yunfu, and not at the so-called Guiyi Sect. Moreover, Guiyi Sect’s young sect leader was evidently standing behind the female lead. Then… where was the problem?
YunGe knitted her eyebrows. The original host did not go along with the sect’s wishes to become Dao companions with the sect leader. What Guiyi Sect had meant was that they would wait until she reached Core Formation after which she would become Dao companions with their sect leader. The YunGe from the original storyline should have reached Core Formation. And in that case, the reason why she hadn’t become Dao companions with him had to attributed to the female lead’s intervention. In other words, it must be nearly time for the female lead to appear, right?
YunGe had no plans…
………………………………
As YunGe returned to her cave and entered, Huan Mo rushed forward and was caught in YunGe’s arms. “You’re back?”
Huan Mo’s sword had long since been cast aside by her. YunGe laughed in spite of herself. “Huan Mo, do you not like this sword?”
“Heehee…” Huan Mo laughed foolishly. “No! I love it! Master, are you not happy?”
YunGe was a bit surprised at her disciple’s sensitivity. “I am not unhappy.”
It was not necessary for children to know too much. “Focus on training your sword, alright?”
It was terrible to feel as if everything was incomprehensible.
“Master…” The disciple racked her brains, trying to think of ways to make her master happy. “Master, let me kiss you, so don’t be unhappy ok?”
YunGe was thus hugged by the other, her arms wrapped around YunGe’s neck. “Baji” A kiss was placed on YunGe’s cheek. With a soft and gentle feeling, it could easily be mistaken as a flower’s kiss. However, this did not lessen YunGe’s worries by much.
“You are my joybringer!” YunGe had opened her eyes. Whatever happened, she could not turn away nor be confused. She was not alone, there was also her defenseless disciple.
“…” Huan Mo heard this and started to laugh. “Master treats me the best!!” Then came another smooch.
YunGe rubbed her disciple’s hair, which seemed to have grown more strands. “Alright, I’ll get something for disciple to eat!”
“…” Huan Mo’s expression at once turned bitter. “Master…” She pursed her face, making herself look pitiful. “Can’t we eat fasting pills?”
From her visits to Bai ShuSheng’s place, YunGe had come to understand that her disciple’s constitution was special. Her disciple couldn’t draw in qi, so eating spiritual power-kneaded pastries would not benefit her in the slightest; it was also the reason why she hadn’t grown any taller. And so, over the past 10 years YunGe had made visits to the “kitchen” again and again to get something for her disciple to eat. As for the results, looking at her disciple’s expression was enough…
“You may not eat a fasting pill…” YunGe hid the bitterness in her expression. “Do you hate me?”
“Master, that expression doesn’t suit you…” Huan Mo stared at YunGe for a moment. Her cheeks reddened and her eyes swiftly swayed as she uttered that brief sentence.
YunGe wore a 囧 face out of shock. Alright, even she could see that putting up a face just because she was discontent with the situation was really ridiculous…
Huan Mo’s eyes drooped. When she was little, there was a person who told her the phrase: “Bone-deep charm from birth.”
Huan Mo knew that these four words did not mean anything good, since that person said it with a tone full of loathing…
Her actions against Lin Lin was not simply because he had stolen her stuff. That was not even the main reason. She was aware of her and her master’s situation. She didn’t just want to destroy his spiritual veins, she wanted to kill him!
The real reason for her desire to commit murder was his words to her in private. “Senior Sister?? That eminent and unapproachable Senior Sister? Sooner or later, I will taste her flavor. I want to know how it feels to push down such an eminent and unapproachable person, doing her until she cries. That kind of stimulation… ahaha, whenever I see Senior Sister fly by and see her cool and elegant face, I can imagine all the various □□ that will bring so much feeling! Ahaha.”
At that time, Huan Mo had nearly used up all her rationality to not kill him on the spot!
Master will forever be unaware of how many people admired her. Or just how seductive she was when she tried to hide that bitter expression…
Of course, she must not tell her…
YunGe rubbed Huan Mo’s head. “Did I scare you??” She just wanted to tease her disciple, but it seemed that she had scared her. Was she such a frightening person?
“Master, if I say yes, can I eat a fasting pill for dinner?” Huan Mo asked as she rocked YunGe’s hand as she showed her an expression of longing.
“Absolutely not!” YunGe poked Huan Mo’s nose. “Do you want to stay short forever?”
“…” Huan Mo lowered her head. She really wanted to not grow. If she were to stay like this, master would always treat her well…
“Alright, be good, I will try making it tastier…” When YunGe said this, her confidence was clearly lacking…
“Master, can I not grow taller?” Huan Mo spoke in a low and muffled voice.
YunGe was startled and looked at the little girl. Why would she think that? Which child wouldn’t wish to hurry and grow up?
“Tell me, why don’t you want to grow up?” YunGe carried her. She thought the main reason Huan Mo ate less was because of the terrible taste. “It’s nice to grow up. My disciple is so pretty, you will be prettier when you grow up!”
Although Huan Mo’s facial features hadn’t opened up yet, she was more beautiful than any other person YunGe had ever seen! It’s also just that Huan Mo was a bit foolish from time to time!
“If I grow up, I can’t stay with you…” Huan Mo spoke softly, as if she was saying something painful.
“Pffft…” YunGe really couldn’t bear it, her disciple was too cute. How did she end up with this idea?
“Growing up is good. In the future, you won’t have to go through the trouble of raising your head to look at me and your neck won’t hurt!” Huan Mo frequently looks at her, but since their difference in height was quite alot… Huan Mo’s neck often hurts!

{Chapter Edited by Chinthani}
When YunGe and her disciple returned to Yunfu school, they met Elder Lian, whom they hadn’t seen for a long time. He happened to have recently exited his closed-door training.
Since Elder Lian had exited, YunGe’s Junior Martial Brothers and Sister had also come looking for her. Second Junior Brother, Lin Han who was constantly in closed-door training had also came out.
Lin Han had entered closed door training very soon after YunGe brought back a disciple. So when he saw the clean and well-raised disciple, it was like seeing a completely different person. His damned nature hadn’t changed and he pounced over. “This is Martial Niece?!”
Before Lin Han could come into contact with Huan Mo, he was blocked by YunGe’s sword. He looked at the girl to see that she had hidden behind YunGe.
Lin Han scratched his nose awkwardly . Hadn’t he grown up to be graceful and elegant? Why was this little girl reacting like this?
”Senior Martial Sister, it has been quite a while…” Junior Martial Sister, Lin Ling walked over and elbowed Lin Han who Lin Han no attention and raised an eyebrow at Third Junior Brother, before turning towards Lin Ling.
YunGe paid no attention to this questionable situation and merely responded with a faint nod. She simply didn’t know how to get along with these Junior Brothers and Sister. After all, it had been half a year since they last were in contact. Junior Sister had slowly grown out of her young and soft face and now looked very moving. In the case of the Junior Brothers, although their appearances had not undergone any major changes, their temperaments had changed distinctly.
”Junior Sister has grown up.” YunGe sensed that her disciple was a little tense. Huan Mo’s grip on YunGe’s robes were more tighter. YunGe patted her head. “MoMo, these are your Martial Uncles and Aunt, remember?”
Huan Mo looked at the three people in front of her. How could she possibly not remember? “I remember. “Hello, Martial Uncles and Martial Aunt.” She stepped forward and obediently greeted.
Lin Ling didn’t really like this nominal Martial Niece. She’d dislike her even if she was her first Martial Niece. She agreed with the other disciples of Yunfu that this waste-like Martial Niece was a stain on her Senior Martial Sister. What incensed her even more was that, ever since the appearance of this Martial Niece, Senior Sister had stopped putting her undivided focus on cultivating, and had also stopped occasionally thinking about the three of them. After the arrival of this Martial Niece, Lin Ling could see the frequency of this sharply plummeting.
Lin Ling wasn’t one to hide her emotions. She looked at Martial Niece with obvious disdain. YunGe, of course, noticed it. She felt distressed for Huan Mo, but she didn’t tell Lin Ling off. If she did, with Lin Ling’s character, Huan Mo would have trouble.
Lin Han did not have as many thoughts as Lin Ling. He merely thought this beautifully decked out young lady was pretty cute. He couldn’t help but open his mouth “Senior Sister, can you lend me my Martial Niece to play for two days?”
“…” YunGe facepalmed. Why was he still this weird?
“Junior Brother Lin Han, it’s better for you to continue closed-door training.” When she finished speaking, she heard a “gugugu” sound. She then saw that her disciple’s face had turned red from embarrassment.
(TN- The sound of stomach growling)
YunGe smiled. “Alright, your little Martial Niece is hungry. I’ll take her somewhere to eat.” Her tone was still cold as ice, but it was completely different from her actions. YunGe took her disciple by the hand and the two walked back to the cave.
“Senior Sister, master says to remember to look for him.” Lin Ling felt a bit uncomfortable. How could Senior Sister be the type of person to take the initiative to walk hand in hand with another person? Senior Sister…

*Chater 21 sometime tomorrow. (Definitely after 5 pm though.)
{Chapter Edited by Chinthani}
“Master…” The disciple tightly gripped YunGe’s slightly cold hand. The corners of her eyes gradually turned red.
YunGe couldn’t bear to look at her disciple like this. She was always like a gust of wind dashing here and there, being lively and cute. It was very rare for YunGe to see her disciple with an expression like this. It seemed that this friend of hers really was important.
“Don’t worry. Disciple is so well-behaved. You will have even more friends in the future.” Given that Lin Lin was Huan Mo’s only companion, it’s not likely that she will soon return to being lively and cute. Her disciple had grown up to be fair-skinned and delicate, provoking one’s love.
“Master… I want to go back and avenge Lin Lin. I want to get stronger…” Huan Mo’s voice wasn’t that loud, but her resolution made up for it.
YunGe looked at Huan Mo’s resolute eyes and sighed. In the end, she could only reply “Ok.”
What YunGe actually wanted to say was that there were so many Level 3 Ice spiritual beasts. How would she find the one that injured Lin Lin? YunGe also wanted to say that even if Huan Mofound it, how could she exact revenge when she couldn’t even draw in qi. YunGe also wanted to tell her how much suffering she would have to face. YunGe could not bear to let her disciple suffer hardships at such a young age…
However, she could not utter even one of those sentences after seeing Huan Mo’s expression.
“Master, in the future, I will also protect you.” Huan Mo quietly whispered.
YunGe heard this and her heart shook, her hand tightening. Her disciple was incomparably pure and innocent.
For the time being, YunGe ceased her closed door cultivation because of the promise she made with her disciple. Or rather, to begin improving her disciple’s combat experience. It was important for her disciple to understand the characteristics of every spiritual beast.
The disciples of Yunfu school were astonished. They knew that their Senior Martial Sister could crush them with her talent and cultivation base. They didn’t expect her to start bringing her disciple out of Yunfu everyday.
Quite a few disciples guessed Senior Sister brought her disciple out to relieve her boredom. There were also disciples who guessed that her purpose was to search for magic treasures to help her disciple draw in qi.
Regardless of what kind of guess, only one conclusion was reached in the end. This good-for-nothing Martial Niece was simply a stain on Senior Sister who was a perfect god-like figure waiting above the heavens, keeping all in equilibrium!
If not for this good-for-nothing Martial Niece, Senior Sister would have been in her cave in seclusion, effortlessly breaking through Core Formation. If Senior Sister really formed her core, then Yunfu school would be bathed in honor and glory. But this Marital Niece had arrived to ruin this opportunity.
Obviously, they dared not boldly say these words out loud, so they resorted to speaking about it behind their backs.
YunGe did not know, for she was bringing her disciple everywhere for a stroll… Ok, ok. Have no choice but to say that those Junior Sisters and Brothers were indeed correct.
YunGe brought her disciple along for a walk while beating up small spiritual beasts along the way. She also inquired others about anything that could make her disciple cultivate anew.
Besides her disciple becoming more clingy, there were no major changes.
“Master, why do we have to go to that weird uncle’s place?” Huan Mo looked at YunGe with a confused look, her entire body wrapped in the fluffy cape, looking all the more loveable.
The weird uncle that she was referring to was the cultivation world’s Bai ShuSheng. This person did not have much of a cultivation base, but what earned him his status was the information in his hands.
YunGe rubbed her disciple’s head. “Don’t talk like that when we get there.” She found that her disciple hadn’t grown much taller.
Over the past year, YunGe had carefully raised her disciple well. Compared to a year ago, apart from developing a bit more meat and fairer skin, Huan Mo hadn’t grown much in height. YunGe was planning to ask Bai ShuSheng about this later.
“Here again??” Bai ShuSheng’s name didn’t match his personality. He responded with few words. When he lacked something, he liked to rely on his name. The man in front of them was outstanding. He was no feast for the eyes with his tough and stocky build, but he had established an information network that practically covered the entire cultivation world. How he managed to achieve this, no was knew.
(TN- Bai ShuSheng literally translates to “Hundred intellectual/scholar”)
“No ‘welcome’?” YunGe raised an eyebrow.
Bai ShuSheng shifted his line of sight, internally cursing his lack of concentration. “In the past, you’ve barely even visited, no matter how many written invitations I’ve sent to you. But now you are visiting me every day. YunGe, are you sure this little girl isn’t your daughter?”
YunGe had once saved his life when he was in a dire situation, so their relationship was pretty good. Bai ShuSheng knows of YunGe’s nature, thus he joked around.
YunGe lifted up her disciple. “On the contrary, I wish my disciple were my daughter. It’s a pity that a 19 year old me can’t have given birth to a 7 year old daughter.”
“…” Bai ShuSheng glanced at her: her features were refined and matchless. Alright, he had just long forgotten that this person was only 19 years old.
YunGe wore a white cultivator’s robe. The white cloth wrapped around her fine, well-proportioned figure. The ribbon tightly bound against her waist enhanced her graceful and slim appearance. Because she was carrying her disciple, the light muslin cuffs swayed. It also exposed a section of her fair-skinned arms, her wrists equally white. The former cold and impassable aura completely disappeared, the cause being the person she carried in her arms. All that was left was a gentle beauty that made people unable to look directly at.
Huan Mo definitely did not miss the stunned and infatuated look in his eyes. She tightly grasped the lapel of her master’s robes. Her intention to obliterate briefly reflected in her eyes.
Bai ShuSheng felt a cold chill on his back and he snapped out of it. “The things you want are just rumors told by others, not stuff that actually happened.” Bai ShuSheng was telling the truth. He had always known that YunGe was not what she appeared to be.
“However, I did receive a piece of information: there’s a type of cultivation method that doesn’t require drawing in qi. Can cultivate, but not like a cultivator. Rather, one can just strengthen the body using it. Even though one will not be comparable to a cultivator, at least they won’t get bullied by mortals.” Bai ShuSheng thought in his heart: no matter how much YunGe liked this disciple, she would still have to return her to the mortal realm in the end. After all, ordinary people, who can’t draw in qi, could live 100 years at most…
“What is it?” YunGe has never heard of this before.
“Sword cultivation.” Bai ShuSheng simply explained for a moment about what it was.
YunGe understood: the difference between a sword cultivator and a cultivator is similar to the difference between a Wuxia novel and Qihuan novel.
(TN- Qihuan is fantasy, Wuxia is martial arts)
“There should be a manual in Yunfu school.” Bai ShuSheng finally stated. He felt that this disciple had left a good impression; very cute and sensible. Although she seemed a bit clingy, this little girl exuded a clean and snuggly feeling.
