Chapter 5 Even after death, one's mouth remains strong.
After all the trouble, Jiang Jiu finally got the chance to be alone.
The gate was slammed shut, and her back leaned against it, her body gradually going limp until she sat on the ground.
The originally expressionless and cold face also made a very vivid, even frightened expression.
'Mom, this world is so scary, I want to go home.'
Even if there were weeds in front of her that were taller than her, she felt it was better than facing those horrible creatures outside.
Jiang Jiu didn't clean up the yard immediately.
Instead, he sat on the only stone pillar in the yard, trying to find the exit button, open the system, call the old man, and all the golden fingers that could change his destiny.
About an hour later.
She assumed a thinker's pose and stayed there quietly for a long time.
Until the leaves on the tree fell down and landed right on top of her head.
The sun, which was originally hanging in the sky, sets in its afterglow.
She finally accepted her fate.
"Doesn't every time traveler have benefits?"
Jiang Jiu raised his head, took a deep breath, and patted his cheeks.
She looked at the yard covered with green grass and dead branches and leaves, and made an expression full of enthusiasm. Isn't it just pulling out some dead grass and tidying up the yard!
She is no longer the fragile female college student who was powerless. Her body is now that of a real cultivator!
Half an hour later...
Jiang Jiu looked at the ground in front of her that was barely clear enough for her to walk two steps on, and then felt her calves that were so sore that they were trembling, her arms that were too tired to lift, and her waist that was almost broken, and fell into deep thought.
She remembered.
She seemed to have not started cultivating immortality yet. According to Ye Yiyi, this body seemed to be that of a young lady who never left the house, and her physical fitness seemed not much better than hers.
Jiang Jiuman looked at the moon outside which was about to rise high with a melancholy face, and the sadness in his heart became even stronger.
She missed her warm bed and the coral fleece sheets she had just bought, which were so comfortable to sleep in.
Jiang Jiu was torn between his own conscience and his own desires, wondering whether he should spend the entire night cleaning up the yard or just leave it in ruins.
After fighting for only two seconds, Jiang Jiu's meager willpower made her choose to lie down. She decided to do it tomorrow as she was really tired now.
Coupled with the small creatures that popped out of the grass from time to time, she was about to have a nervous breakdown.
“…”
So where should she sleep tonight?
If I must say, there might be enough space for a person to lie down in the room inside, but an unknown small animal might make her jump up on the spot and do a laser dance while she's sleeping.
If a creature like a snake appeared again, she would probably die on the spot.
As a talented cultivator with ideals and ambitions, she doesn't want to die before achieving her goal.
“…”
Jiang Jiu showed a determined expression.
Sure enough, I decided to sleep on the street today. The small gravel road just after entering Qingyun Peak is quite nice.
Anyway, there is Yu Zimo in the Qiankun bag... uh... maybe the bedding given by Ji Chen.
After making the decision, Jiang Jiu turned around without hesitation and opened the door. Before she could even put her foot out, she slammed the door shut again.
Cold sweat dripped from his forehead at a speed visible to the naked eye.
She seemed to see a figure standing outside the door. Judging from the shape of the hair crown reflected in the moonlight, it was Yu Zimo.
"Brother, you stay up all night, guarding the gate of my yard. It's too scary."
Jiang Jiu's fear had not yet faded when Yu Zimo's footsteps approached, and finally, they knocked on the door like the god of death.
Knock knock...knock knock...as if it were a death curse.
Jiang Jiu quickly retreated two meters and almost fell into the haystack.
"Junior sister, it's me, don't be afraid."
The silent and empty Qingyun Peak was filled with the sound of Yu Zimo's voice, which was as pleasant as the sound of a spring. The tenderness that seemed to overflow in it made people let down their guard.
This does not include ginger wine.
"No no no no, I'm going to sleep!"
Jiang Jiu's breathing unconsciously became rapid. She wouldn't be afraid of anyone else, okay?
You are the scariest!
"You haven't cleaned up your yard yet. If you're tired, why don't you come with me to rest for a night and continue tomorrow."
Jiang Jiu roared wildly in his heart, who was it today who used the excuse that physical contact between men and women should not be allowed in to shut Ye Yiyi out!
He has two different faces during the day and at night.
No matter how big the drama is in Jiang Jiu's head, on the surface Jiang Jiu still appears cold and indifferent.
"Big Brother, a cultivator must be able to endure hardships. As a new disciple, I must aim to ascend to the immortal path."
"It's just a small hindrance caused by the residence. It's nothing in my eyes."
Jiang Jiu racked her brains to come up with such a righteous reason, and she couldn't help but high-five her mini-man in her heart.
It’s worthy of her!
Now Yu Zimo has no reason to knock on the door again, hehe.
The result was just as Jiang Jiu had expected. Yu Zimo outside the door was silent for a long time, and there was a tone of wanting to say something but stopping himself, but he still respected Jiang Jiu's idea.
"Um...Oh well, since my junior sister is so determined, I won't bother her any further."
Listening to Yu Zimo's footsteps gradually fading away, Jiang Jiu jumped up in cheers as if he had survived a disaster.
“…”
However, the consequence of rejecting Yu Zimo is.
She couldn't go out and sleep on the gravel road now, and had to continue cleaning up this increasingly terrifying yard.
From time to time, in the quiet environment, there was a bird's song, and there was a rustling sound in the grass. I don't know what kind of living creature was running past at a high speed.
The bright moon was obscured by clouds, and the surrounding scenery was flickering. The shadows of the trees were hazy and swaying, as if some ghosts were waving at her.
"Is it too late to go with Yu Zimo now?"
Jiang Jiu thought expressionlessly.
"Forget it, he is the Ghost King, it's better to stay here, at least he is not real."
...
The next day, facing the first rays of sunlight, the moment Jiang Jiu pushed open the gate, he almost burst into tears.
God knows how she got through that night. It was like an escape room store closed down, leaving her alone in the room for the whole night.
It's as terrifying as if there's a dummy corpse hanging right in front of you.
Jiang Jiu walked out of the yard with unsteady steps and bumped into Ye Yiyi who had returned from somewhere.
"Junior sister? Didn't you sleep well last night?"
When she saw the dark circles under Jiang Jiu's eyes, he actually showed concern for her for the first time.
But when Jiang Jiu looked around, she realized that she was overthinking.
Ji Chen, who disappeared yesterday after accepting a disciple, was waiting in front of a cave not far away, waiting for the two to come and complete the apprenticeship ceremony.
Ye Yiyi stood in front of Jiang Jiu with a radiant look, dressed in white like a lotus in clear water, beautiful and noble.
She had a depressed look on her face, like a dumpling that had just crawled out of a coffin.
Fortunately, the original body had an extraordinary appearance, so it was barely acceptable.
Jiang Jiu adjusted his mood and tried to curl the corners of his mouth and replied.
"I was so excited when I first entered the sect that I tossed and turned and couldn't sleep last night. I'm sorry to have embarrassed you, Senior Sister."
She would never say that she didn't even have a place to lie down last night and stayed awake until dawn.
