Chapter 36 "Ah Que, call me 'sister'." In memory of Zi. ...
In the early morning, Jiang Yuemian slipped back to her room as usual.
Just a short while later, a disciple from the Shannan Sect came to inform them that the sect leader would be hosting a banquet in the evening to entertain all the fellow Daoists who had come to participate in the Qingyun Assembly.
In the evening, they went together.
When they arrived, half of the seats around them were already occupied. Jiang Yuemian walked in front, with Chen Que, Nangong Chen, and others a step behind. As they walked, Jiang Yuemian noticed that the voices of the people talking gradually became softer.
Everyone's attention was focused on them. Before Jiang Yuemian could even reach the location of the Liwen Palace, the old man in the main seat had already quickly come down to greet her.
"Oh, Immortal Venerable, it is truly an honor for this humble sect to have you here. Please take a seat."
The leader of the Shannan Sect greeted Jiang Yuemian with a smile and gestured for her to enter.
Jiang Yuemian: "No need to trouble the sect leader. My disciples and I will sit in the sect's seats."
"Don't mention the trouble, please come in quickly."
So everyone took their seats, and whispers arose around them.
"Oh my, that's the Moon-Gazing Immortal Venerable! It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that she's the most beautiful woman in the cultivation world."
"Vulgar! How can you judge a celestial being by such a thing as appearance? A celestial being is a role model for us all to follow!"
"Ha, ha, yes, I misspoke. You are the one who is both talented and beautiful."
Jiang Yuemian possessed powerful spiritual awareness and could hear everything around her, so she could naturally overhear their whispers. However, if she didn't maintain the airs of a Celestial Venerable, she would definitely tell them that she loved it when others praised her appearance.
However, that's no longer possible... What a pity.
Jiang Yuemian sighed, her attention drawn to the spiritual fruits on the table. She picked one up casually, took a bite, and her eyes instantly lit up.
So delicious!!
[Mianmian! Mianmian! I want some too! Give me a bite!]
001 jumped off Jiang Yuemian's shoulder and secretly took a bite out of sight of everyone else.
[So delicious! Mianmian, can you give me some when you leave? I've never had such delicious fruit before! It's sweet and sour, and has a crisp texture. It's so good!]
good!
Jiang Yuemian readily agreed.
As she thought to herself, she didn't forget to share the fruit with Chen Que. "Chue, you should eat something delicious too!"
He showed no emotion upon receiving the fruit, only his fingertips twitched slightly when they touched the Immortal Venerable's skin.
Then, he took a bite.
Sweet.
The others, finding the banquet rather boring, started chatting while eating.
Nangong Sheng: "Do you think... the gossip about the son of the Shannan Sect leader that we heard yesterday is true?"
Song Shanshan: "Shh... keep your voice down, but! I'm also a little curious."
He listened intently.
Jiang Yuemian's eyes lit up.
If we were to ask who is most knowledgeable about the major events in the cultivation world, it would undoubtedly be Nangong Chen. Managing the affairs of his sect and being well-versed in all the happenings in the world is his way of life.
Everyone, including Jiang Yuemian, looked at Nangong Chen.
Nangong Chen sighed helplessly and said softly, "It's true."
Everyone: !!!
Nangong Chen continued, "The young master of the Shannan Sect, in commemoration of Zi Bai Shangyi Venerable's disciple..." He paused, glancing at Jiang Yuemian.
Jiang Yuemian suddenly realized, "Ah, it's Shang Yi, the arch-rival who's been competing with me since childhood?" Although it was Shang Yi who called herself that, the most crucial thing wasn't that she was an arch-rival, but that she had actually taken on a disciple? And one who even coveted her master?
Tsk tsk tsk, Shang Yi really made a mistake. But... she and A Que are also master and disciple, and they are in love with each other. I wonder what Shang Yi is thinking.
Sigh, she's been spending so much time near the Demon Sealing Seal all these years that she's forgotten about these trivial matters.
As Jiang Yuemian was lost in thought, she suddenly felt a warmth on her hand. It was Shen Que's hand gently touching her clothes, bringing her back to her senses. She smiled faintly at Shen Que, who quickly turned his head away.
Nangong Chen continued speaking.
"Ahem... It is said that after Brother Ji expressed his feelings, Venerable Shangyi politely declined."
Oh, Shang Yi has always had a bad temper, how come he let such a disobedient thing go so easily this time?
"Unexpectedly, Brother Ji takes an unconventional approach and actually..." Even a seasoned gentleman like Nangong Chen found it difficult to say.
Everyone was listening with great interest, so how could they let him stop?
Nangong Momo: "Brother, tell me quickly!"
"Ahem... Brother Ji has hidden himself on the Venerable One's bed..."
This is some serious gossip!
"Return...return..."
Jiang Yuemian: "Give back what?"
"And then he stripped naked..."
Oh wow!
[Wow! Hahahaha, this commemorative pose is really something!] 001 was also secretly listening and commented.
Shen Que: "And then?"
Nangong Chen glanced at Shen Que in surprise. He was actually interested too?
"Then, Venerable Shangyi was going to expel him from the sect, but Brother Ji kept pestering him, saying that he had already seen his body and that no one would want him anymore."
Shen Que pursed his lips, determined not to let this person get close to his master.
"Venerable Shangyi was furious and had no choice but to ignore him for a few days. After that, he heard that his master had taken Junior Brother Shen as his disciple."
"Although Brother Ji is a bit shameless, he is really talented. Venerable Shangyi said that if he beats Junior Brother Shen in the Qingyun Assembly, she will agree to let Brother Ji marry into her family."
"..." I understand now, they are part of their play.
"So, Ah Que, you'd better go all out. Ji Nianzi is eyeing you covetously in order to marry into your family."
Jiang Yuemian made a joke.
Shen Que's expression instantly turned serious. No matter what, he couldn't let his master lose, not even because of him.
"Wow, it's so lively here!" Suddenly, a voice rang out.
The crowd turned around, drawn by the sound.
A man in red robes walked gracefully towards them, his phoenix eyes arrogant and unrestrained. He scanned the surroundings until he spotted Jiang Yuemian and the others. He stared at them for a moment, then walked over as if he had found his prey.
Shen Que pursed his lips.
Ji Nianzi had already walked up to Jiang Yuemian. He lowered his hands and said, "Greetings, Immortal Venerable. I am a disciple of Venerable Shangyi. My master has always been concerned about you, Immortal Venerable, and has come here specifically to have me greet you."
Oh, so you've come to issue a challenge.
Jiang Yuemian wasn't particularly interested, but since she couldn't refuse someone who was being friendly, she asked, "Where's Shang Yi?"
"Master will arrive tomorrow. Once Master arrives, he will come to meet with the Immortal Venerable."
After he finished speaking, he looked behind Jiang Yuemian until his gaze locked onto Chen Que. He smiled and said, "So this must be the Immortal Venerable's esteemed disciple? To be accepted as a disciple by the Immortal Venerable, one must possess exceptional talent. I wonder if there will be an opportunity to learn from him?"
Shen Que frowned, about to speak.
Jiang Yuemian stopped him with one hand, then turned to Ji Nianzi and said, "No rush, there will be plenty of opportunities. I heard that Junior Nephew Ji is considering marrying into the family after failing to win the heart of his beloved. I wonder if Sect Leader Ji will agree?"
She smiled and pointed to the main seat, where the old man, whose face had already turned ashen, could no longer sit still.
He roared, "You bastard! Get back here right now!"
Ji Nianzi's face stiffened for a moment, then she quickly adjusted her expression and bowed to Jiang Yuemian again: "No need for the Immortal Venerable to worry. My father summoned me, so I will take my leave now. As for Brother Shen, we will have a contest at the Qingyun Assembly." After saying that, she turned and left, quite arrogantly.
After he left, Shen Que asked, "Why did Master stop me? Ji Nianzi was so rude."
Others were also indignant.
Jiang Yuemian: "Sigh, what kind of situation is it to have a conflict on someone else's turf? We still have to give face to Sect Leader Ji."
As she spoke, she met the eyes of Sect Leader Ji, and they both smiled at each other, though Sect Leader Ji's smile seemed somewhat forced.
Jiang Yuemian turned around and whispered, "Tonight..."
Everyone's eyes lit up, and then they nodded emphatically.
......
The dead of night is the perfect time to strike.
Jiang Yuemian came out first, followed by Shen Que, who seemed a little awkward, and then the others.
"Master, is this really okay?"
Shh, baby, keep your voice down.
Shen Que blushed when he was called "baby". He glanced at the others, who probably hadn't heard him.
So Jiang Yuemian went ahead to scout the way, and the others followed closely until they reached the door of Ji Nianzi's house.
Jiang Yuemian put her hand to her mouth, signaling them to be quiet, then crouched down and hid by the window, with the others also lining up behind her.
Nangong Sheng whispered, "Cousin, how come our martial uncle is so skilled at this? Could it be...?"
Nangong Chen: "Master said that when Uncle was young, he was very clever and mischievous, and often climbed onto the roof to remove the tiles."
Nangong Sheng suddenly realized that his martial uncle was also a fellow practitioner.
Suddenly, a sound came from inside the room, and everyone tensed up, their ears perking up.
inside the house.
"Master, don't worry. Don't you know me? I saw him today. He has just entered the Nascent Soul stage and is at the same level as me. He is nothing to be afraid of."
"It's nothing. You mean the Immortal Venerable?"
"My master doesn't even ask if I'm alright, he only knows to ask others..."
Jiang Yuemian's expression froze. This commemorative gesture was quite clever. If only A Que could act coquettishly with her like that.
The activity continued inside the house.
"I know, I know, the Immortal Venerable is doing well. Humph, even Master doesn't say he misses me."
I don't know what was said on the other end, but Ji Nianzi's tone changed.
"Hmph, I don't care. If you don't agree to me marrying into your family, I'll go outside and shout that you seduced me and then abandoned me, taking advantage of my body and then shirking responsibility! Let's see who loses face then, Master or me!"
I don't know what was said on the other end of the telepathic message, but Ji Nianzi became sticky again.
"Okay, okay! Don't worry, Master! Come quickly! I miss you!"
Then the sounds inside the room stopped.
Jiang Yuemian and the others felt a chill run down their spines.
Ugh, this is so cheesy! I can't stand it. Shang Yi is putting up with this, could it be that he's really fallen for her?
Even if I fall in love with him, it's still not okay. He dares to provoke Ah Que, so we have to teach him a lesson!
Jiang Yuemian gave the group a wink, and they took action.
Just as Ji Zi was happily preparing to sleep, everything suddenly went black before her eyes, and then...
"ah--"
"Help! Who are you?! Ugh...!"
......
After finishing their work, everyone returned to their rooms feeling relieved, and Jiang Yuemian followed Shen Que to his room.
As soon as the door closed, Jiang Yuemian turned around and pinned Shen Que against it, catching Shen Que off guard.
He opened his mouth in astonishment.
Shh, give me a kiss.
After kissing, the two lay on the bed, panting.
"Ah-Que, why don't you act cute with me a little too~"
Shen Que felt a little embarrassed.
"Ah, yes~"
Finally, Shen Que opened his mouth, mimicking the way he remembered Zi: "Master, Master, have you missed me...?"
"I miss you so much. I miss you even when I'm sleeping. I miss you even when you're next to me. I often think about how Ah Que is so charming that I wish I could hang Ah Que on my body and be able to touch him all the time."
Shen Que: "Stop, stop talking..."
Not going to talk? How can I not talk?
Jiang Yuemian flipped over and pinned Shen Que beneath her. She had wanted to do this for a long time. At the banquet today, she had hooked Shen Que's finger. She was a real enchantress, having Shen Que completely under her control.
She lowered her head and whispered in Shen Que's ear, "A-Que, call me sister."
Shen Que's voice was hoarse, but he couldn't refuse, because he was in her palm. He spoke, "Sister, sister, ah—"
Then, tears and gasps were swallowed down, and dawn never broke.
