Chapter 69 Male and Female Little Killers
As soon as Ah Chen returned to his small villa, he heard a crisp "ding-dong" sound. Ah Chen looked up and saw a familiar image appear on the wall of the study.
"Nie Xiaoxiao? What's she doing here again?" Achen couldn't help but frown.
Ever since he heard about her "heroic feat" of tricking an entire group into collecting spirit beast droppings for a month after competing with her classmates, he couldn't wait to have nothing to do with her anymore.
Unexpectedly, a month later, she came knocking on my door again.
He couldn't possibly refuse to see her. What if she held a grudge and tried to sabotage him?
Ah Chen composed himself, put on a gentle face, and opened the barrier to welcome her in.
"So it's Senior Sister Nie. May I ask what brings you here today?"
"Can't I come here to play without your guidance?" Nie Xiaoxiao stared at him with a half-smile and asked.
"Of course! Oh, by the way, you must miss the flowers and plants in the yard, right?" Achen didn't want to argue with her, so he quickly changed the subject.
"No, I just missed you, Junior Brother Zuo Chen." Nie Xiaoxiao said with a forced smile.
"Huh? Uh, Senior Sister Nie, you're really joking. You plantation department are so busy every day, how can you have time to think about anything else?" Achen desperately suppressed the urge to kick her away and answered with a smile.
"Alright, alright, I'm too lazy to beat around the bush. Hurry up and get me a servant's pass. I got last place in the monthly exam this time, so I'm not qualified to continue living in Shangqing Garden." Nie Xiaoxiao said irritably.
Ah Chen: There are only three people in the top three, why is she focusing on him? Does she think he's an easy target?
"Senior Sister Nie, aren't you very skilled in planting? How come you..." Ah Chen asked casually.
"Oh dear! Don't even mention it! My grades were originally supposed to be pretty good, but the hybrid poisonous herb I cultivated, Black Mist Golden Ring Grass, accidentally poisoned all the spiritual plants in half of the experimental field, so my mentor Hua Zimei deducted 50 credits from me."
"You know, the total score for the monthly exam is only 120 credits. This deduction of 50 credits means you'll definitely be last in the class," Nie Xiaoxiao said irritably.
Ah Chen felt a chill run down his spine. If he let this person in, not only would he be in trouble, but he might also implicate the other students of Shangqingyuan.
But if he dared not let her come, he might end up like that unfortunate half of the experimental field.
He has a lot of psychological trauma related to poison techniques.
Back when he was at Xiangyun Academy, he was dragged into an illusion by his classmate Tsuzaki Kaori's contracted plant, Mane, and poisoned with mental toxins. If it weren't for Uncle Bo's timely treatment, who knows what kind of aftereffects he would have suffered.
Now that Nie Xiaoxiao wants to move into his courtyard, he probably won't easily make a move on him, since a rabbit doesn't eat the grass near its burrow.
Adhering to the principle of "better to die than to die myself," Ah Chen chose to harm others over "harming one person."
"Senior Sister Nie, so you wanted an attendant's pass? No problem, come on, we'll get it for you right away!" Ah Chen said generously after she understood.
"Hey? Why are you so quick to agree? Aren't you afraid I'll poison all the flowers and plants in your yard?" Nie Xiaoxiao asked suspiciously.
She had already planned it all out: if he didn't agree, she would threaten and intimidate him until he cowered and begged for mercy, and then be forced to agree.
But before she even had a chance to show her skills, he just gave in?
If Ah Chen were a teenager, she might have suspected that he might be lustful, but he was only eight years old, a little brat who hadn't even grown his hair yet. He probably didn't have such filthy thoughts, right?
Ah Chen: With your skinny little body, you think you can get lustful at first sight? Haha!
However, Nie Xiaoxiao's goal was to stay in Shangqingyuan, and now that she had achieved her goal, she was too lazy to think about anything else.
Soon, the two of them went to the academy's administration office and completed the formalities. Nie Xiaoxiao held the attendant's pass in her hand with great satisfaction, while Fen'er generously said, "Come on, your senior sister will treat you to a big meal tonight!"
"Can I not go?" Ah Chen asked weakly.
"Of course not! Not going would be disrespectful to my senior sister!" Nie Xiaoxiao said, raising her head.
Achen clenched his fist: His mother said that a good man doesn't fight with a woman, let alone this woman who is his senior sister from the same academy. He should just bear with it!
Nie Xiaoxiao took Achen to a restaurant near the academy. As soon as they entered the restaurant's lobby, they saw several students from the Planting Department having a meal together in a private room on the second floor.
Those were all senior sisters and brothers who had been tricked by Nie Xiaoxiao. When they saw her pulling a handsome little boy, their eyes widened in surprise!
"Hey! Do you think Nie Xiaoxiao forcibly abducted someone's handsome young master?"
"Looking at his exquisite appearance, even the male prostitutes at Nanfeng Pavilion can't compare."
"Maybe Nie Xiaoxiao hired him to keep her company?"
"I never expected that she would understand matters between men and women at such a young age, tsk tsk!"
...
These were things they dared to say so freely only after setting up a soundproof barrier, but Ah Chen happened to have an invisible phantom by his side—Xiao Shi.
"Hey kid, those guys in private room number three upstairs are talking about you. Want to listen?" Xiao Shi relayed their conversation to him word for word, like a megaphone.
Ah Chen was instantly enraged!
As classmates, it wouldn't be too much to gossip about Nie Xiaoxiao behind her back or even curse her because of her arrogant and domineering behavior. But they actually used such malicious thoughts to speculate about her and even insulted him.
Auntie can tolerate it, but Uncle can't!
But thinking about these planting-related people, who might poison you behind your back or use dirty tricks, Ah Chen didn't want to confront them directly.
Ha! It's just using dirty tricks, isn't it? Do you think anyone can't do that?
Thinking of this, after the restaurant staff had arranged a private room for them, he said to Nie Xiaoxiao, "Senior Sister Nie, I'm going to use the restroom first."
"Okay, go ahead! Anyway, the food won't be served for a while." Nie Xiaoxiao waved her hand and said.
She genuinely wanted to treat Ah Chen to a meal today, since she would be living in his dorm from now on, and treating him to a meal would be like paying the rent.
Ah Chen went to the urinal and began to draw talismans in the air.
He drew the most basic Mountain Moving Talisman, but added a Concealment Talisman. The two combined allowed him to secretly transport things without being detected.
This was an innovative talisman he came up with while studying the notes of his senior, Yan Kaige. He thought that if his senior had thought of this two-in-one method, the Void Drawing Talisman would probably never have come into existence.
But now, he will definitely use the void to draw talismans, so that no one will be able to find out that he has used talismans.
When creating the talisman, he also incorporated the Whirlwind Talisman, thus creating a three-in-one Void Talisman.
Before Ah Chen could name the three-in-one talisman, he infused it with spiritual power and activated it directly.
The Mountain-Moving Talisman lifted a chamber pot and transported it to Private Room Number Three, then the Concealment Talisman concealed the chamber pot's movement.
Once the chamber pot was transported to the table in private room number three, the final whirlwind talisman was activated.
The liquid gold from the chamber pot swirled and spilled all over the food on the table, including the bowls, chopsticks, and teacups in front of everyone.
The group of five, who were whispering among themselves, suddenly felt liquid falling.
"It's leaking? That can't be right. When we came in just now, the stars were shining brightly and the moonlight was as clear as water," one person said, wiping the water from their forehead in confusion.
The next second, everyone screamed in unison: "It stinks! Where is this stench coming from? It's suffocating!"
After they activated their protective aura, they watched helplessly as yellow liquid spilled from the void onto the dining table.
If they still don't understand by now, then they're truly fools.
One of them unleashed a vine, which suddenly pulled a rapidly spinning... chamber pot from the void!
"Who did this? Get out here right now!" another person roared.
The shop assistant rushed over upon hearing the noise, repeatedly apologizing, but even after calling the on-duty Spirit Realm security guard, they were unable to find out who had done it.
The second floor was filled with a foul odor. Nie Xiaoxiao, who had originally planned to treat everyone to a meal there, frowned and pulled Achen, who had just returned, away.
The other guests also rushed from the second floor to the first floor. The five people blocked the door and refused to let the guests leave, because they were certain that the person who had tricked them must be among these guests.
"Nie Xiaoxiao, did you do this?" One of the five people spotted Nie Xiaoxiao in the crowd.
“Yes! It must be you! You overheard us and that’s why you’re retaliating!” another person said.
"What were you doing upstairs just now? What bad things did you say about me? Tell me the truth!" Nie Xiaoxiao was furious. She took out a poison pill and waved it at the five people.
"Oh no! It wasn't her! We'd better apologize quickly. This young lady is not someone we can afford to offend. Don't forget she poisoned most of the spiritual plants in the experimental field!" Some of the five people were already starting to feel guilty.
"Sorry, Junior Sister Nie, we were just joking with you. Since you're having dinner with friends, and this restaurant smells terrible, let's go find another one!"
"Hehe! Alright, then you can keep looking for yourselves here. Farewell!" Nie Xiaoxiao said with a forced smile.
Ah Chen noticed with her sharp eyes that her fingertips trembled slightly as she squeezed past the five people.
A thin line of barely perceptible green powder circled around the belts of the five people, leaving a trace on each of them.
"You brat, this girl is really something. You'd better be careful to coax her from now on, or she might poison you into an idiot and no one will know," Xiao Shi whispered in A Chen's ear.
"But you're not much better, kid. In my opinion, the two of you can be called the male and female little devils! Hahahaha!" Xiao Shi laughed heartily.
In his view, many of the academy's instructors were too rigid, and most of the students they taught were also rigid, spending all their time cultivating, cultivating, and cultivating again.
These two little kids in front of me are much more fun; they're so lively!
