Chapter 52 Is Ah Que disgusted with me? My master is a girl...
Something growing? What is it...?
Suddenly, Shen Que saw Jiang Yuemian's enigmatic smile and realized, "Master, Master, you couldn't be talking about that, could you...?"
He thought of that, and suddenly his face turned completely red. He then sat up abruptly from Jiang Yuemian's arms, turning his head away so as not to look at her.
Master... how could she say such a thing... Master is a woman.
Although those who cultivate the Tao have never valued these things, this is still too crude a statement!
Shen Que's face was still burning. He didn't know how to face his master. If his master really grew back... God, Shen Que, what are you thinking!
Shen Que shook his head frantically, trying to shake the yellow thoughts out of his head, but the more he shook his head, the clearer the words of Jiang Yuemian became, playing repeatedly in his mind.
Jiang Yuemian found Shen Que's embarrassed expression even more endearing. That's just how she is; if she really likes someone, she doesn't hold back when she speaks. Besides, she has too many lewd thoughts in her head, and she might blurt them out without thinking. But, she hopes that Shen Que won't find her greasy. If Shen Que is bothered by it, then she'll just have to control herself in the future.
But Ah-Chu's appearance really makes me want to say something like "yellow rubbish"!
Never mind, I'll just say less in the future.
After a struggle within himself, Shen Que finally calmed down.
He turned his head, his face somewhat serious. "Master, you are a girl, in the future..." He should refrain from using such crude language.
Jiang Yuemian: "Does Aque not dislike me?"
Hearing her say that, Chen Li immediately swore, "I had no such intention!"
Okay, Jiang Yuemian understands. Such words are really too shocking. It's best to say less of them in the future.
After this farce, the two got to know each other better, and Gui Ci and Shen Gui had had enough of staying there, so the four of them went back.
......
As time passed, Gui Ci and Shen Gui officially got together, which enraged the clan chief, who was also Gui Ci's father and Shen Que's maternal grandfather.
As the Holy Maiden of the Qingyin Clan and the one with the purest spiritual power in the clan, how could Gui Ci marry someone from another clan? Holy Maidens throughout the ages have always been responsible for protecting their people. Moreover, there is a 50% chance that children born to outsiders will have impure bloodlines, and a very small number may even die shortly after birth.
This is also why the Qingyin Clan forbids its members from intermarrying with other clans. Even so, Gui Ci was determined to be with Shen Gui. The innocent and carefree saintess fell in love so easily that no one could stop her. She insisted on being with this demon, and the members of her clan could only give in.
Then, the condition was that Shen Gui would stay in the clan for the rest of his life and not go out, cutting off all ties with the outside world. Gui Ci, on the other hand, would train her younger sister Nian Xi as the new successor to the Holy Maiden. With this, everyone was satisfied.
They also began to live a peaceful and happy life.
However, Jiang Yuemian and Shen Que ultimately felt that this was the calm before the storm.
After some time, that day finally arrived.
Blood filled the sky. There were too many people coming, and the Qingyin clan couldn't kill them all. In the end, Shen Que and Jiang Yuemian were also buried in the Qingyin clan's territory. In the last moment before she closed her eyes, she saw the clan leader use a teleportation array to send Gui Ci and Shen Gui away.
......
When they woke up again, Jiang Yuemian and Shen Que were back in the scene where Xiao Die and A Tong met.
Now that they've started over and know the whole story, all they need to do this time is stop it.
For example: find out why outsiders entered the Qingyin tribe.
From that day on, Jiang Yuemian and Shen Que continued their lives as before, as long as they stayed together every day and no one would say anything, since the Qingyin clan all knew that they were engaged.
Until one day, Jiang Yuemian and Shen Que finally discovered the problem before that disaster.
It turns out that although the Qingyin clan has lived in seclusion for many years, the clan still needs a lot of supplies. Moreover, the Qingyin clan is skilled in weapon crafting, especially swordsmanship. These supplies need to be transported outside, and then some other necessary items are purchased and brought back.
This person was Ninth Uncle, the clan's physician. Since no one else knew what medicinal herbs he needed to buy, he was put in charge of purchasing them.
The day before the massacre was set out seven days later, which meant that they were going to prevent Uncle Nine from going out to make purchases.
So, what method should be adopted?
Jiang Yuemian and Shen Que exchanged a glance, their eyes immediately lighting up. This was the only way...
...
"Oh dear, what's wrong with my stomach?"
"Oh dear, I've already run to the outhouse several times, how am I going to get out now?"
Hearing Uncle Jiu's mournful voice from afar, Jiang Yuemian was happy, while Shen Que felt somewhat helpless.
Shen Que thought his master would come up with a profound method, but unexpectedly, he used a doctor to administer medicine. He really used as many methods as possible. His master was truly quirky and unpredictable.
Jiang Yuemian saw Shen Que's eyes: "A-Que, don't underestimate this diarrhea medicine. It was specially developed by your third uncle. I guarantee that even she won't be able to tell the difference. That's why so many people use this method. Of course, it's because it works!"
Jiang Yuemian proudly raised her delicate face, clearly seeking praise.
Shen Que echoed her sentiments and said, "Master is so amazing."
Jiang Yuemian nodded, then slung Chen Que over her shoulder and continued reading.
...
Jiang Yuemian and Shen Que even kept watch outside when Uncle Jiu slept, just to prevent him from suddenly going out in the middle of the night. Of course, this was also just in case, since who would suddenly sit up in bed and walk out while sleeping?
Finally, when the rooster crowed, Jiang Yuemian and Shen Queneng dragged their tired bodies back.
Jiang Yuemian was already feeling very uncomfortable. After all, although she was in the cultivation world, she always went to bed early and got up early. She hadn't slept all night and was about to collapse. When she got into the room, she took off her shoes and climbed onto the couch. She then closed her eyes and patted the spot next to her, indicating that Chen Que should sleep next to her.
Shen Que smiled and did so. Then, Jiang Yuemian rested her head on Shen Que's chest, wrapped her arms around Shen Que's waist, and fell asleep in the blink of an eye. Shen Que looked at his master's obedient sleeping face and also fell asleep contentedly.
When the two woke up again, it was already noon. Jiang Yuemian stretched and moved, only to find that she was being pressed down. She turned her head and saw that Shen Que was staring at her intently.
"Ah Que, I like you so much."
Chen Que: ...
"Master..." His voice was low, and his eyes were slightly red.
Jiang Yuemian was delighted to see Ah Que like this, so she kissed him to her heart's content, and then the two tidied up and got up.
However, when I woke up, I felt some pain in my chest.
Jiang Yuemian: "A-Que! It's all your fault!"
"It's my fault... I won't do it again next time." But, since his master was so fair-skinned, he just wanted to see what it would look like to turn red.
......
The two walked towards Gui Ci's house. They figured that nothing bad had happened today, and that the disaster was probably over. So, Jiang Yuemian was naturally in high spirits and walked with a swagger, chatting and laughing with Shen Que.
However, just as they arrived outside Gui Ci's house, a clansman rushed in to report: "Xiao Die! Quick! Go and inform the Holy Maiden that a foreign tribe has invaded!"
Jiang Yuemian and Shen Que were greatly surprised.
How could there be foreign invaders? What's going on? Could it be that someone else has gone out again? Impossible! She and Shen Que have been keeping a close watch on things these past few days. How could this be?
Lost in thought, she didn't move. To the clansman who came to report, it looked like Jiang Yuemian was terrified. So he quickly nudged her, "Xiaodie, go quickly!"
Jiang Yuemian then came to her senses and went inside to find Gui Ci.
"Holy Maiden! Foreign invaders have arrived!"
Gui Ci's expression changed, and he grabbed his sword and rushed out the door. Jiang Yuemian and Shen Que also quickly went out to prepare for battle.
The final result was predictable: just like last time, Jiang Yuemian and Shen Que saw the clan leader Gui Ci and Shen Gui teleport away before they closed their eyes.
"......"
...
Once again, they were back to square one. Jiang Yuemian was truly exhausted this time. She could do whatever she wanted with this illusion, but why did things always turn out wrong? This time, Jiang Yuemian and Shen Que were completely baffled.
What kind of hacking method can break through the environment?
However, I'm not thinking about it right now, because it would mean repeating the same process as before.
Jiang Yuemian went back to Gui Ci Na as usual, and Shen Que continued to do his own thing. It wasn't until evening that Jiang Yuemian secretly slipped into Shen Que's room, where Shen Que had already been waiting for a long time on the bed.
This time, neither of them was in the mood for kissing or anything like that, so they could only rack their brains to come up with something.
If we've already prevented Uncle Nine from going out and being followed by outsiders, then why did we still fail?
I really don't understand, Phoenix Bone, Phoenix Bone, it's so hard to get!
Wait a minute!
Jiang Yuemian suddenly thought of something: "Phoenix bone, phoenix bone... The phoenix represents rebirth from the ashes, so... Ah Que!"
"Master."
Jiang Yuemian continued, "Is it possible that this illusion is meant to help us rise from the ashes in our predicament?"
After listening to Jiang Yuemian's words, Shen Que felt that they made a lot of sense. He said, "Master, then let's give it a try. If it doesn't work, we can have another chance."
That's right, so what if they fail? As long as they don't break this damn illusion, they can only go out and keep going back to the starting point.
"I will propose to Senior Gui Ci tomorrow that we must make our clansmen pay attention to cultivation in order to prevent foreign invasion."
"good."
The next day, Jiang Yuemian got up early and went to Gui Ci's residence.
“Holy Maiden, although our Qingyin Clan has extremely high talent, we hermits here do not value cultivation and focus all our efforts on weapon crafting. But if one day, foreign invaders invade, wouldn’t we be helpless to surrender? That would truly be a case of being born in hardship and dying in comfort.”
After listening to Jiang Yuemian's words, Gui Ci remained silent for a while, then spoke with a serious expression: "Xiao Die, did you foresee something?"

The author says: "Born in hardship, die in comfort." This comes from Chapter 15 of Mencius, Book 6, Part 2.
