Hearing the door open, Su Diandian felt her heart pounding wildly.
She pushed Shan Yunting into bed, leaving only her head sticking out.
Just as she was about to breathe a sigh of relief, she caught a glimpse of the messy pile of things on the ground out of the corner of her eye.
Absolutely, absolutely must not be seen by anyone!
Su Diandian turned her head and saw the centipede. "Little Wu, grow bigger and lie down on the ground to cover those things!"
"Oh, okay..." the centipede responded, and immediately crawled to the ground, swelling up to several times its original size.
Just as the centipede grew larger, Zhen Ming stepped through the door, followed closely by Lu Renbing carrying a tray.
Lu Renbing was startled when she saw the giant centipede. "What a huge multi-legged insect! Fourth Elder, catch it to make medicine!"
Zhenming raised his hand to stop her from continuing to make noise.
"It came with Xiao Dian."
As he spoke, he took out a finely woven bamboo basket from his mustard seed storage bag.
"The Xuancang Sect raises many poisonous spiders on Medicine Furnace Peak. Knowing you were here, I specially brought some for you."
Zhenming bent down and placed the bamboo basket on the ground.
"Th...thank you." The giant centipede spoke in a human voice, stretching out its body to try and eat the poisonous spider.
But if it moves even a little, the objects covered beneath it begin to show signs of being revealed.
It's okay, just put it back in the shell.
The centipede diligently and secretly picked up things from the ground with its legs.
Zhenming walked around it, went to the bedside, lifted the bed curtains, and sat down.
Su Diandian gave him a dry laugh, "Master...when will we be able to reach Cangwu Mountain?"
As she said this, Shan Yunting, who had been pressed under the covers, released her mouth.
Zhenming reached out and gently stroked the top of her head. "Cangwu Mountain isn't far. We can arrive early tomorrow morning."
"So close? We should have just flown there from the beginning." Su Diandian found it strange.
Zhenming gently explained to her, "You haven't been resting properly lately. With the spirit boat, at least you'll have a bed to lie on."
This...this...is too thoughtful.
If Zhenming weren't Zhenming's ex-husband, whom she had previously provoked, she might actually be a little tempted.
A man who can take care of others is really nice.
As soon as Su Diandian had this thought, she began to despise herself.
Bah! A teacher for a day is a father for life.
How could she have such shameless thoughts?
Su Diandian tried hard to find a topic to talk about, attempting to hide the awkward expression on her face.
Just then, the puppy in the bed started biting randomly.
"Ah." Su Diandian let out a soft cry and immediately grabbed Shan Yunting's long hair and tore it backward.
"Xiao Dian, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell anywhere?" Zhenming's eyes showed anxiety.
Su Diandian laughed awkwardly, "No, no, it was just a sudden cramp."
Zhenming's eyes were gentle. "Let me rub it for you."
As he spoke, he leaned closer, bringing with him a pleasant scent of incense.
Su Diandian quickly refused, "No! No need, Master, I... I have a chest cramp."
Pah! That foul mouth of hers.
They said it was a chest cramp.
Does anyone know someone who gets cramps in this area?
A blush crept onto Zhenming's face. "Xiaodian, if you think... actually I..."
"Master, I'm not having cramps anymore, really." Su Diandian's eyes were full of sincerity.
A hint of disappointment flickered in Zhenming's eyes, but he quickly put on a smile.
He took out a handkerchief and gently wiped her forehead. "Xiao Dian, why is your forehead covered in sweat?"
"It's hot," Su Diandian replied casually.
Zhenming took back the handkerchief. "Why is your face so red?"
"It's boring," Su Diandian replied very quickly.
“In that case, let’s change to a lighter silk quilt.” Zhenming said, and went to grab a thin quilt from the foot of the bed.
"No...no need, Master." Su Diandian's voice trembled as she spoke.
The flashing clouds in the blankets are just too much.
Damn it, I can't take it anymore!
Su Diandian reached out and gripped Shan Yunting's neck tightly, lowering her voice to say, "Shut up."
"What?" Zhenming turned his head to look at her.
Su Diandian quickly looked at the centipede lying on the ground.
"Master, I meant Little Wu, it's eating random things."
Zhenming peeked at the centipede wriggling its body. "It's alright. That's a venomous spider I brought for it. It's perfect food for it."
"Is...is that so? That's good, that's good..."
Just as Su Diandian finished speaking, she happened to see the centipede move its body, revealing the colored drawing that Zhang Shanyun had stopped painting.
Unfortunately, Lu Renbing happened to turn her head to look over there.
"Huh? Sect Master, it seems like there's something pressing down on the centipede."
As she spoke, she took a few steps forward, bent down, and was about to pick it up.
"Ah!" Su Diandian let out a dry cry, startling Lu Renbing into stopping in her tracks.
But the next second, she reached out and grabbed the colored image under the centipede's body.
It’s over…
Su Diandian chose to close her eyes.
I simply couldn't bear to look at Senior Sister Lu's expression next.
Lu Renbing picked up the letter and her brows furrowed suddenly.
She rushed toward the bed, holding the letter in her hand, "Fourth Elder, Sect Master, something terrible has happened!"
It's really not good.
Will this be any better?
"What is it?" Zhenming's tone also became serious.
Lu Renbing handed him the letter in her hand, "Fourth Elder, please take a look at this."
“This…” Zhenming quickly scanned the letter, “Xiao Dian…”
"I'm here." Su Diandian opened her eyes resignedly, looking like she didn't care what anyone did.
"Take a look at this." Zhenming handed her the letter in his hand.
Is this even watchable?
cannot.
Su Diandian turned her head away in disgust, "I don't need to look, Master..."
What?
After watching this, shouldn't you ask her where this kind of thing comes from?
Zhenming sighed softly, "I never expected that Shan Yunting would be so direct."
The mere mention of this made Su Diandian furious. "Exactly! What's the difference between this Shan Yunting and a stray dog?"
"I'll kill him sooner or later, kill him!" she cursed through gritted teeth, while her hand tightened its grip on Yun Ting's neck under the covers.
But Shan Yunting seemed completely unafraid of being pinched, and didn't even struggle.
Wait, could he have died?
No, no, no, that's absolutely impossible.
How could a dignified Immortal Supervisor, the number one genius among his peers, be so casual?
Despite Su Diandian's constant attempts to comfort herself, she couldn't help but feel worried.
After all, Shan Yunting was poisoned by the centipede.
What if he is only powerful in cultivation but is extremely afraid of poison?
Su Diandian's face showed worry, and the hand that was pinching Yun Ting's neck gradually loosened.
But at that moment, I felt a warm, damp sensation in my palm.
Holy crap!
I knew this little bastard was tough!
"Don't be afraid, Xiao Dian, I'm here for you," Zhenming said calmly.
“Master…” Su Diandian looked up at him with great emotion, but her gaze immediately met Zhenming’s tender eyes.
His dark eyes held an unyielding depth of affection.
It was only then that Su Diandian belatedly realized that Zhenming had not addressed her as "Master" for a long time.
Su Diandian glanced at the color chart and spoke weakly.
"Master, aren't you angry after reading what's on this paper?"
