Chapter 29: Falling in love with Ah Que is perfectly normal. ...
Jiang Yuemian woke up groggily from her bed and slowly opened her eyes.
"Ugh... my head hurts so much."
She rubbed her temples and sat up in bed.
"well?"
Why is she in her own room? Wasn't she drinking with Ah Que and the others yesterday?
She glanced around haphazardly, still wearing her clothes, and then looked around the room. The room was neat and clean, it didn't look like her room at all.
Could it be that Ah Que brought her back?
It must be, Ah Que is always meticulous.
Jiang Yuemian got out of bed with a happy smile. Feeling that her voice was a little hoarse, she sat down at the table and poured herself a cup of tea.
"Slurp."
She felt better after drinking the tea.
I patted my stomach; I was a little hungry.
Hehe, let's go see what delicious food Ah Que made!
...
When Jiang Yuemian arrived, Shen Que had already packed the food and was about to deliver it. He seemed very happy, with a smug look on his face.
"Ah Que?"
Jiang Yuemian suddenly called out from behind her.
Shen Que was startled and turned to say helplessly, "Master, why are you still playing children's games?"
Although he said that, he was still smiling, and his hands had already deftly taken the packed food out of the food box.
He thought that since his master had already arrived, it would be the same if he served his master his meal.
So Jiang Yuemian sat down, and the two of them each had a bowl and chopsticks.
Jiang Yuemian eagerly picked up a piece of chicken, popped it into her mouth, and suddenly her eyes lit up: "Ah Que!! Waaaaah, your cooking is still the best!"
As she spoke, she stuffed large mouthfuls of rice into her mouth, looking every bit like a little glutton.
Shen Que just smiled and started putting food on Jiang Yuemian's plate with his chopsticks until Jiang Yuemian's bowl could no longer hold another bite.
"That's enough! Ah-Que, you should eat too."
Jiang Yuemian urged Chen Que to eat quickly. She said that Chen Que had made the food, but she hadn't eaten much. She was really tactless.
"good."
While eating, Jiang Yuemian suddenly remembered something.
"Ah Que? Did you take me home when I was drunk yesterday?"
Upon hearing this, Shen Que inexplicably tensed up, his body instantly stiffening, though his expression remained unchanged: "What's wrong, Master?"
Master won't find out...
"Um...it's nothing, I just wanted to ask..."
Chen Que clenched his fist.
Did I act drunk and disorderly?
Shen Que loosened his grip, and he instantly relaxed, a smile appearing on his face: "No, Master is very obedient."
She was so obedient that he wanted to desecrate her.
"That's good, that's good."
Jiang Yuemian was relieved. It was embarrassing for her apprentice to see her drunk, and it would be awkward for A Que to help her back. If she continued to act crazy while drunk, she would be ruined.
Jiang Yuemian finished her meal in peace and wanted to wash the dishes, but Chen Que wouldn't let her. After a bit of arguing, the two stood side by side in front of the basins and each took one to start washing.
After everything was tidied up, Jiang Yuemian lay on the rocking chair in the yard, basking in the sun.
Shen Que was practicing his swordplay in front of him.
until--
[Ding! System 001 upgrade complete!]
Jiang Yuemian sat up abruptly from the rocking chair.
Shen Que noticed the situation and stopped, then hurried over to inquire.
"Master, what's wrong?"
Jiang Yuemian realized that her movements were a bit too big. She smiled awkwardly, then said seriously, "It's alright. You practice your sword first. I have something to do."
Before Shen Que could answer, she started running towards her own courtyard. Shen Que watched her back and felt that his master seemed very happy.
But... is there anything I can't tell him?
......
Jiang Yuemian pounced on the bed, and a long-lost little mushroom appeared before her eyes, looking very happy.
"Waaaaah! Mianmian! I miss you so much! Do you miss me too?!"
It opened its mouth wide and started barking, while pouncing on Jiang Yuemian's face and nuzzling her cheek.
Once she had pasted enough on it, Jiang Yuemian picked it up.
"001, didn't you notice anything?"
Jiang Yuemian said proudly.
"Huh? What? What is it?!"
The little mushroom was puzzled, but remained silent.
Then the little mushroom suddenly started screaming.
"Aaaaaaah! Mianmian! What did you do while I was gone?! How come your faith points are so high again?!"
The little mushroom's eyes instantly turned into stars, and it gave Jiang Yuemian a quick kiss on the cheek, which Jiang Yuemian didn't stop.
"This immortal has asked my senior brother to help build a library so that ordinary people without cultivation resources can practice exam questions. This will not only improve their cultivation level but also allow them to collect faith points. Why not do it?"
Jiang Yuemian proudly raised her small face.
"That's awesome!! Mianmian is so great!! Hehehe!!!"
001 was also very happy. As long as it collected enough faith points, it could upgrade again and resist a large part of the demons' force when they arrived.
However, when it returned just now, it seemed to see Mianmian spending time with that kid Shen Que again.
That kid was practicing his swordsmanship, but his eyes were always on Mianmian. How strange.
"Mianmian, don't you think you and Shen Que are a little too intimate?"
"Um?"
"Me and Ah-Que?"
Jiang Yuemian adjusted to a more comfortable position: "What's strange?"
001 leaned closer: "Don't you think the way Shen Que is looking at you is strange?"
Eyes?
Jiang Yuemian thought about it. Ah Que's gaze towards her was clearly one of adoration for his master, so how could it be strange?
Jiang Yuemian flicked 001 on the forehead: "You're overthinking it."
"I'm absolutely not mistaken, I suspect..."
Jiang Yuemian's expression turned serious: "What do you suspect?"
"I suspect that Shen Que has fallen for you!"
001 A mushroom-shaped face instantly turned serious.
Jiang Yuemian was greatly alarmed.
"How could that be!? My relationship with Ah Que is clearly the purest master-disciple bond!"
Although she said that, she was a little disappointed inside.
What is she feeling lost about?
001 sensed Jiang Yuemian's emotions and flew to her side: "Mianmian? You haven't fallen for that kid too, have you?"
How can a woman be obsessed with relationships? Of course, she should focus on her career!
"Me? How could this be..."
How could she possibly like Ah Que? It's impossible!
Ah, there's no such thing!
Um?
She suddenly paused.
Why do I dislike Ah-Chu?
Ah Que is not only beautiful and a good cook, but also has a gentle temperament, patience, and always puts her first.
What reason could she possibly have not to like Ah Que?
Can......
This is the world of cultivation.
The idea of a master-disciple relationship is a bit...too exciting.
She shook her head haphazardly.
Seeing her like this, 001 instantly broke down: "No way, Mianmian! Really? You've really fallen for him?"
"I didn't, absolutely not."
Jiang Yuemian immediately retorted loudly.
But she seemed somewhat guilty and lacked confidence.
"Then tell me, do you often think about him?"
Is she always thinking about Ah-Chu? Of course she is. Ah-Chu is her apprentice, so of course she has to think about him in everything she does.
"Do you share things you like or foods you enjoy with him as soon as possible?"
Of course, after all, Ah Que treated her the same way.
There's nothing strange about it.
001's expression changed repeatedly: "You still say you haven't fallen for him?! Mianmian, you're so fickle!"
"What do you mean by 'changing one's mind constantly'? If you don't know how to use idioms, don't use them. This is called 'thinking about someone day and night'." After saying that, she paused for a moment.
“............”
001 paused for a moment, then suddenly went berserk: "Yearning for him? Fine, Jiang Yuemian, you still say you don't like him!"
"Just because I said no doesn't mean no..."
Jiang Yuemian touched her nose, avoiding looking at it.
"I don't care! Tell me! Did you treat your senior brothers like that?"
Jiang Yuemian thought about it seriously for a moment: "Hmm... naturally I'm thinking about my senior brothers and the others."
"Have you ever thought about flirting with your senior brothers?"
"Huh? How could that be? How could I have such a thought?"
That's incredibly audacious of her. How could she possibly try to flirt with her senior brother? They're family!
"Then why do you only flirt with Shen Que, just because he's your disciple? But Nangong Chen is clearly your junior as well, why didn't you think of treating him the same way?"
Jiang Yuemian retorted, "How can that be the same? Why would Achen tease him with that kind of personality?"
"What about Nangong Sheng, Song Shanshan, and Qi Xinyi?"
Jiang Yuemian fell silent.
She seems to treat Ah Que differently.
When she first met Ah Que, she was immediately struck by his stunning beauty, as she had never seen such beauty before.
As she got to know him better, she found Ah Que to be very cute, and she loved seeing him shy.
She often thought that it was because Ah Que never asked for things, and she felt that her disciple should have everything.
Later, when Ah Que became jealous, she realized that although Ah Que was sensitive, he was always insecure, so she gave him a lot of security.
As for liking someone... she thought about how she would treat her senior brother and others.
She felt... she couldn't do it.
She felt that she had gotten used to Ah Que's presence, and if Ah Que were not by her side one day, she would definitely not be able to eat or sleep well.
Thinking of this, Jiang Yuemian's tightly furrowed brows gradually relaxed. If this was what it meant to like A-Que, then she—
I've just fallen in love with it.
If you like someone, you like them; there's nothing wrong with admitting it, especially when it's someone as wonderful as A-Que.
Her eyes sparkled and she suddenly smiled.
Upon seeing Jiang Yuemian's lovestruck smile, 001 immediately shouted, "You're doomed! You've fallen in love, Mianmian!"
Jiang Yuemian now understood her own feelings, so it wasn't a big deal. She said, "If you like someone, you like them. It's perfectly normal to like A-Que."
001 jumped up and down anxiously: "But Mianmian! We have a mission to complete. The demons are waiting for an opportunity to strike. Our main task is to collect faith points!"
Jiang Yuemian: "Don't worry, liking A-Que and doing missions don't conflict. I will definitely work hard to collect faith points. As for A-Que—"
001 waited expectantly for her to change her mind.
"I will try my best to pursue A-Que."
001 tripped and fell.
Then, looking dejected, she said, "Never mind, as long as you can distinguish between what's important and what's not, but I have to remind you, Mianmian!"
"Um?"
"Never get hurt in a relationship!"
Jiang Yuemian chuckled, "I know." She knew that 001 genuinely cared about her.
………
In the evening, the eldest senior brother sent a telepathic message saying that the second senior brother and the others had returned and wanted her to come and discuss the Qingyun Assembly.
When Jiang Yuemian arrived, she saw her second senior brother Xiang Chaosheng, her third senior sister Qian Shanxue, and her fourth senior sister Gong Youning sitting in their seats.
Nangong Chen, Shen Que, Nangong Sheng, and others were also there, including Song Shanshan, and a little girl whom Jiang Yuemian did not recognize.
Nangong Chen immediately said, "Fifth Uncle, this is my younger sister, Nangong Momo."
Jiang Yuemian nodded and chose a seat.
So everyone began to discuss the matter, until Xiao Mingjue spoke up: "There is still more than a year left in the Qingyun Assembly. I plan to send talented disciples to the Cloud Cave for seclusion. What do you all think?"
Time flows twice as fast inside the Cloud Cave as it does outside, and the spiritual energy is even more abundant, making it an excellent cultivation sanctuary. Normally, Xiao Mingjue would never be willing to take it out.
Qianshanxue: "I'll listen to my senior brother."
Xiang Chaosheng grinned wickedly: "I'll listen to my senior brother too~"
Gong Youning glanced at Xiang Chaosheng with disgust: "I'll listen to my senior brother too."
Xiao Mingjue: "Where's Xiao Wu?"
Jiang Yuemian: "I have no objection, but I still need to ask for their opinion."
"That's natural."
He turned his gaze to Chen Que and the others: "Are you willing?"
Nangong Chen: "The disciples are willing."
Nangong Sheng: "Of course."
Nangong Momo: "I'm willing too."
Song Shanshan: "I do! I do!" Hehehe.
Shen Que: "This disciple is willing." Although he was reluctant, he knew that only by becoming powerful could he have the opportunity to be with his master.
"Okay, it's settled then."
......
On the day they entered the Cloud Cave, Jiang Yuemian didn't say much to Shen Que. She knew that her A Que shouldn't be bound by anything; he should stand at the top.
Shen Que gave Jiang Yuemian a deep look, as if he wanted to etch her into his heart, before turning around and disappearing into the Cloud Cave.
In Chen Que's absence, Jiang Yuemian began to wander around every day, and even caught the little cat from Yuncheng to keep her entertained. The little cat was living quite comfortably there.
She would play some games with 001 in her spare time, and she would also try her best to collect faith points. She would also bother her senior brothers and sisters when she had nothing to do.
Time flies, and before you know it—
The day for Shen Que to leave the pass has arrived.
