Chapter 404 The Precious Ginseng Fruit VS. The Easily Deceived Cultivator (7)

"I don't want to go out! I don't want to go out!" Little Fruit struggled wildly, but was still "heartlessly" left outside.

The wooden planks outside were hard and cold, and she plopped down on the ground.

Just then, a cool breeze blew by, carrying a few withered yellow leaves from the yard.

The withered leaves swirled and slowly fell to the side.

The tightly closed door, the slightly leaky window, the tranquil moonlight... the various scenes before me were all remarkably harmonious, yet they all exuded a sense of desolation.

"Waaah—" Little Fruit blinked her eyes, and tears instantly filled her entire eye sockets.

This scene seems familiar.

In the past, the Ginseng Fruit couple also drove the unruly little Ginseng Fruit out of the house to be trained in the same way.

"I want to go in!" Little Guozi cried and shouted, howling so loudly that she wanted everyone in the inn to hear what was going on.

"Ah—I want to go inside! I won't sleep outside! I'll freeze to death! It's so cold! The wind is so strong, it's going to blow me away!"

She howled louder and louder.

The door in front of them suddenly opened, and Meng Qizhou threw out one of her blankets.

These days, Xiao Guozi is always restless at night, kicking and thrashing about. When he scolds her, she makes excuses, saying it's because the blanket is too ugly and she doesn't want to use it.

This quilt was specially made by Meng Qizhou. It was embroidered with sunflowers and streams in the mountains, and also with a large ginseng fruit...

However, Xiao Guozi was still not satisfied. She only agreed to make do with the quilt for a few days, and then forced him to promise that when he returned to Lingyun Sect, he would make her several more comfortable quilts with rare and precious spirit silkworm silk, and embroider them with beautiful patterns with gold thread. Moreover, these quilts were exclusively for her use.

Little Guozi was suddenly covered by the blanket that had been thrown out, and by the time she slowly crawled out from under the blanket, the door had already been closed.

She moved calmly, wrapped herself tightly in her fragrant blanket, and continued to wail.

"It's so dark outside! I'm going to be eaten by a monster! Nobody cares about me, waaaaah... I'm so pitiful, waaaah..."

Little Guozi used her usual trick of acting cute and rolling around on the ground, pretending to cry outside. Just hearing her crying made people feel sorry for her.

Although Meng Qizhou said that, he didn't really mean to send Xiao Guozi outside for the night. He just wanted to scare her and make her stop causing trouble.

Seeing how scared she was and how she kept crying, I began to hesitate.

However, he was much smarter this time and quietly peeked out from the other window.

It was in that one glance that he saw the little fruit happily howling at the top of its lungs.

She's clearly faking it!

You malicious little liar!

Meng Qizhou snorted coldly and sat back down in the room, intending to leave her waiting a little longer.

Jiang Zhiyi was exhausted from pretending, but the door in front of her still wouldn't open, so she had no choice but to shout even louder.

"I'm scared—a monster is going to eat me! I need to go inside, it's dangerous outside..."

She started talking nonsense.

This shout woke up Pei Zhengqing, who lived in another courtyard.

Although it was already late at night, Pei Zhengqing was always diligent and practiced his skills until very late every night before going to sleep.

He was exceptionally talented and highly skilled, and was also the most diligent disciple in the Lingyun Sect. Everyone in the sect respected him as their senior brother.

Upon hearing the commotion coming from Meng Qizhou's courtyard, Pei Zhengqing immediately grabbed his sword and rushed over.

The disciples of the Lingyun Sect have been exorcising demons and evil spirits in the nearby towns for the past few days, but they never expected that there would be a monster that dared to cause trouble in the inn where their disciples were stationed and resting.

They've really got some nerve, coming here to die.

Today he will ensure that this monster never returns!

Pei Zhengqing strode into the courtyard.

Just then, dark clouds obscured the moon, making the surroundings much darker, and he couldn't see very clearly.

"A monster?" He pointed his sharp sword at the impatient little fruit who was about to break down the door.
