"Hmm...it seems you no longer need my help."
Su Miaorou could see that Xia Che's eyes were now clear and free of any confusion, and she nodded with satisfaction.
The concept of "inner demons," setting aside its mystical name, is simply a person's distracting thoughts.
A smart person can quickly get out of it and get rid of their distracting thoughts.
And fools...
Like the woodcutter in the idiom "watching chess until the axe handle rots," he was troubled by distracting thoughts his whole life, and never saw the light until he died.
"Without you, I'm afraid I really wouldn't have been able to get through this."
Xia Che sincerely said that ever since he transmigrated into this comic world, every day has been too mechanical. He mechanically approaches the female lead, and all he wants to do is change her fate and help them see Li Junyang's true colors.
However, none of these actions considered the most crucial question: what the female protagonists meant to Xia Che.
— Xia Che used to treat them as a game.
When playing chess against Li Junyang, the chess pieces in his hand are the five female protagonists.
This behavior is really inhumane. Just as Master said, they are also human beings, living, breathing people. They cannot be dismissed as mere fictional characters from a fictional world.
Xia Che was caught up in the situation at the time, so he couldn't see clearly, but now, with his master's help, he has come to understand.
"The smarter a person is, the more distracting thoughts they have, but often only smart people can get rid of them, which is quite contradictory."
Su Miaorou yawned, glanced at the sky, and looked at Xia Che with an unfriendly expression: "You've ruined my afternoon nap."
"Well……"
Seeing the displeasure on his master's face, Xia Che scratched his face and quickly said, "How about I send someone to Lotus Peak to deliver some good food after I get back?"
"For example, the duck neck you love to eat..."
"Extra spicy, please."
Before Xia Che could finish speaking, Su Miaorou grabbed his hand, her expression earnest.
"……no problem."
Xia Che was both amused and exasperated.
He forgot that his master had always loved spicy food; for her, spiciness was the treasure of the world.
"At least you have a conscience... Fine, I'm barely satisfied."
Although Su Miaorou practices asceticism, she does not advocate the ascetic lifestyle. Even in seclusion, she can occasionally enjoy some worldly delicacies.
"Now that you've achieved your goal, what about the gift?"
Mentioning this, Su Miaorou's expression became slightly unnatural. After all, as a reclusive master, it wouldn't sound very good if word got out that she asked a high school student for a gift.
But there was nothing she could do. Su Miaorou could ignore other people's gifts, and it didn't matter whether she gave them or not. But the person in front of her was her only disciple, and now that her birthday was approaching, Su Miaorou had to care.
Others can choose not to send gifts, but you can't choose not to send one, right?
Thinking of this, Su Miaorou's beautiful eyes narrowed. Although she still had that aloof demeanor, she still gave Xia Che the illusion that she was there to interrogate him.
"Well... well..."
Xia Che was taken aback, then a sudden realization dawned on him, and the things he couldn't understand before instantly became clear.
Grass!
He said he had forgotten something!
"If you can't remember, you might die... So that's what it meant?"
Master's birthday is coming soon.
But I didn't prepare a gift for myself!
He had clearly planned to avoid seeing Su Miaorou and have Ning Zheyuan deliver a gift in his place to get by.
But now... things are different.
He was right in front of Su Miaorou!
Now you want to run away?
It's a bit late...
"Um?"
Seeing that Xia Che couldn't answer for a long time, Su Miaorou's eyes gradually turned dangerous.
If that brat dares to let me have my fun for nothing...
She wouldn't mind giving Xia Che another special training session.
The kind of punch that hits hard.
"Of course I've prepared one! It's just that your birthday isn't here yet, so what's the point of giving you a gift early? Hahaha... There's still half a month to go, isn't there?"
Xia Che, quick-witted, rubbed his hands together and said with a forced smile.
Thankfully, today isn't Su Miaorou's birthday, otherwise...
Xia Che was really worried about whether he could go down the mountain alone.
"That's more like it. Okay, I'll look forward to it a little."
Su Miaorou stared intently at Xia Che and said this.
"call……"
Seeing that the other party believed him, Xia Che breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
"Besides, you are my disciple, so there's no need to be so careful. Even if you really have forgotten, am I the kind of person who holds grudges?"
Suddenly, Xia Che stared in disbelief at a scene that terrified him.
His own master, that proud snow lotus of Tianshan, actually...
He actually laughed!
The most beautiful thing is a touch of red on a woman's lips.
This smile was like a ray of warm sunshine shining on the top of Tianshan Mountain, dispelling the cold and unexpectedly adding a touch of contrast to Su Miaorou's delicate features.
Am I still half asleep?
Or has the world gone mad?
Xia Che has rarely seen Su Miaorou smile since he can remember!
Even on the rare occasions she did smile, it was a barely perceptible smile, unlike any bright smile he had ever seen before!
Something's not right...
It's over!
Xia Che sensed something and, without thinking twice, turned and ran, but he was still a step too late.
Where are you going?
Su Miaorou smiled, but her figure was like a ghost. Even though Xia Che ran away first, Su Miaorou suddenly appeared in front of Xia Che.
Her small, slender figure stood before Xia Che like an insurmountable mountain.
"Master...Master, I was wrong!"
Xia Che decisively raised his hands in surrender without the slightest hesitation.
"I've said it before, I'm not the kind of person who holds grudges."
Su Miaorou's smile remained unchanged. Then, she swiftly reached out and tapped Xia Che's body a few times. She didn't know what acupoints she had touched, but Xia Che felt as if he had ejaculated. This feeling came suddenly and quickly, and when Xia Che came to his senses, he found that nothing seemed to have happened.
But soon, he realized something was wrong.
"Damn it, you sealed my meridians?"
Xia Che immediately realized something was wrong. His body felt empty. His arms, which used to be full of strength with the slightest movement, were now just like his body in his previous life when he was a homebody—not weak, but not very strong either.
I thought I could inherit the physique of a master and show off, but before I could even be powerful for long, you've brought me back to square one!
"Your strength has increased too quickly, and it no longer matches your state of mind. If you hadn't been smart enough to come to me, you would probably have gone into a state of demonic possession by next month at the latest, and become a cripple."
Su Miaorou extended a finger and tapped her cheek, then curled the corners of her lips, her smile reappearing: "So for your safety, until your mental state improves, just be an ordinary person for a while."
"Of course, I'm only doing this for your own good, and I don't hold any grudges at all."
