Watching the car disappear, Si Jin withdrew her gaze and leaned back wearily on the sofa.
I'm starting to reflect little by little on whether I did anything wrong in the past.
Why are they all trying to betray their master and ancestors?
[Don't be sad, my lord. Being a master is a high-risk profession.] Xiao Yao concluded based on her years of reading experience.
If you treat your apprentice well, he will fall in love with you; if you treat him badly, he will want to conquer you, and then fall in love with you.
If you talk a lot with your apprentice, he will fall in love with you; if you talk little with him, he will think you dislike him, then become ruthless, and then fall in love with you.
Si Jin: ...
Where did they learn such fallacies?
Well, I hope this kind of thing won't happen again.
As Xiao Yao continued speaking, she became curious again: "Sir, may I ask how many apprentices you have in total?"
Si Jin paused for a moment, then replied lazily: I can't remember, you'll have to look it up in the Heavenly Book yourself.
【Oh, oh.】 Xiao Yao flipped through the book herself, and after a long time, she finally found it.
[Commanding the gods of all things and nature, and their disciples...]
The little tiger's eyes widened involuntarily: "Three...three thousand people?!"
【Oh my god.】 Xiao Yao sat back down on the ground, tugging at his beard before recovering from his shock.
Being a master is far too dangerous, isn't it?
… …
At night, Nan Linyuan cooked dinner, and after eating, he held Si Jin and went to sleep.
Seemingly sensing human emotions, Nan Linyuan behaved himself very well that night and did nothing.
He would also gently kiss Si Jin twice when she occasionally woke up from a nightmare, telling her again and again, "Jin Jin, don't be afraid, I'm here, I've always been here."
This phrase seems to have become a habit for A-Yuan.
Despite having no memories of him across so many dimensions, he will still deeply cherish and protect the lover he finally managed to win back.
Yao Cen drove away, but didn't return to the company. For the first time in years, he went to a bar.
In the middle of the night, I got completely drunk and staggered out of the car. Before I even got back to my car, I vomited violently.
After an unknown amount of time, a hand gently patted his back to help him catch his breath.
Immediately afterwards, a playful voice came: "Didn't you say I wasn't allowed to drink? Why isn't Senior Brother setting a good example?"
Yao Cen looked up and immediately saw his fifth junior brother's handsome face: "Ling Zhou? What are you doing down here? Get out!"
"Hey? I mean, what's so great about Master's ice-cold face?" Ling Zhou continued with a smile.
"Yes, I admit that Master is a good person, but apart from Xiao Yuan, he treats all his fellow disciples the same. Why would you be like a moth drawn to a flame and throw yourself into his arms?"
"Xiao Yuan paid a huge price to stand shoulder to shoulder with Master, so why do you need to join in the fun?"
"Now that you've gotten the answer you wanted, are you heartbroken? Satisfied? Drowning your sorrows in alcohol?"
"Senior Brother," he said, each word piercing to the heart, then added, "I treat you differently. Why don't you ever consider me? I also have peach blossom eyes!"
As she spoke, she winked at Yao Cen, trying her best to prove her charm.
"Get out of my way." Yao Cen pushed his hand away: "I don't have time to play around with you today, don't touch me."
However, after taking only two steps, he was knocked unconscious by Ling Zhou's magic.
The boy took two steps forward and hugged his stubborn senior brother, saying, "Didn't we run into each other?"
"Senior brother~" Ling Zhou smiled, his handsome peach blossom eyes flashing with a hint of obsession: "I descended to the mortal realm without permission to find you, which violated the heavenly rules. Shouldn't you give me some reward?"
As he spoke, he scooped up his senior brother in his arms and disappeared into the night.
… …
Perhaps because she was angered by Yao Cen, Si Jin didn't sleep well all night.
In an attempt to reflect on his past mistakes, he inadvertently thought of the Heavenly Prison again.
Exhausted and frustrated, he woke up the next day with a fever of 38.3℃.
Nan Linyuan hurriedly got up, cooked porridge, and prepared the medicine.
Si Jin, however, still teased him: "You're so skilled at biting open medicine packets, aren't you? Could it be... you've bitten something else before?"
——————
Yao Cen doesn't have a romantic partner, but she has admirers. She's a mischievous yandere (obsessive and possessive person), and it's highly unlikely she'll appear in future stories. You can imagine the story between Yao Cen and Ling Zhou yourself.
(PS: After all, Yao Cen has had a crush on Jin Jin for many years, and it's impossible for one world to change his mind. It would be unrealistic to write about the two of them in every world, and it would also affect the reader's immersion, so we've decided to leave it at that.)
Just like Ling Zhou said, there is a difference between liking and loving. A Yuan paid too high a price, and he deserves Jin Jin's love.
I'll probably add an extra chapter later tonight, a sweet little world between Yuan and Jin. Love you all!
