Chapter 26 Monster "You are not allowed to like her."
"I really like her. Do you think she would say yes if I confessed my feelings to her?"
Inside the library, Fang Chengfeng tugged at his friend Xiao Yuan's sleeve and whispered nervously.
Xiao Yuan's face darkened. "I like her too. You're discussing this with me?"
Fang Chengfeng chuckled foolishly and said, "Fair competition, so what?"
"Who wants to compete fairly with you?" Xiao Yuan yanked Fang Chengfeng's sleeve away, stood up, and walked towards the girl.
Beneath the library, Yue Mingxi climbed a ladder and tiptoed to reach the books on the top shelf.
Xiao Yuan walked up to Yue Mingxi, coughed lightly, and said with his ears turning red, "Junior Sister Yue, what book do you want? I'll get it for you."
Yue Mingxi took the book in her hand, turned to Xiao Yuan and waved it, her eyes crinkling as she said, "No need, Senior Brother Xiao, I've already taken it."
"Oh, okay." Xiao Yuan was dazzled by her smile and answered incoherently.
Fang Chengfeng also ran over at this time, angrily stomped on Xiao Yuan's foot, and looked up with a bright smile.
"Junior sister, a new Sichuan pepper chicken restaurant opened in the cafeteria today, it's super delicious, do you want to go eat with me?"
"No need, Senior Brother Fang, thank you for your kindness." Yue Mingxi jumped down from the ladder. "I'm leaving now."
"Okay." Fang Chengfeng smiled brightly despite being rejected. "See you in class this afternoon, junior sister."
"Okay." Yue Mingxi smiled and waved goodbye.
Watching the girl's departing figure, Fang Chengfeng felt extremely disappointed. "I really wanted to have dinner with her."
Xiao Yuan stomped on his foot, "Coward."
Fang Chengfeng snorted, "It's better than you lacking martial ethics."
As the two were chatting and laughing, a boy suddenly hung upside down in front of them.
Fang Chengfeng grabbed Xiao Yuan's arm and screamed, "Ahhhhh, a ghost!"
Xiao Yuan was also startled, but he was much more dignified than Fang Chengfeng; he just stared wide-eyed.
The boy hung upside down in front of them, his face veiled in white, and said expressionlessly, "Do you two like Yue Mingxi?"
Looking at the boy, the two nodded honestly.
The boy frowned. "You're not allowed to like her."
"Why?" Fang Chengfeng patted his chest and snorted, "Why are you so nosy? Do you like her too?"
Xiao Yuan nodded in agreement, "That's right, everyone has the right to pursue the person they like."
The boy frowned and said fiercely, "I told you, you're not allowed to like her, you just can't like her."
Fang Chengfeng said angrily, "Young brother, how can you be so arrogant?"
"Oh, Wu Shanqing, what are you doing here?" Yue Mingxi's eyes lit up with surprise. "Weren't you waiting for me outside?"
She was about to push open the door to find Wu Shanqing when she faintly heard his voice, and Yue Mingxi couldn't wait to run over again.
Seeing their junior sister turn back, Fang Chengfeng and Xiao Yuan became nervous.
They weren't sure if their junior sister had overheard their conversation.
Fang Chengfeng pursed his lips and said, "Junior Sister, you didn't hear what we were saying just now, did you?"
Yue Mingxi shook her head and laughed, "It's too far away, so I couldn't hear very clearly. I only know that the three of you were talking, but I don't know what you were saying."
The library is equipped with a soundproof barrier, making it extremely soundproof; you can't hear anyone talking unless you listen very carefully.
Yuemingxi was just particularly sensitive to Wushanqing's voice, which is why she happened to come and take a look.
Unexpectedly, Wu Shanqing was actually here.
Looking up at Wu Shanqing, who was still hanging upside down with an unhappy expression, Yue Mingxi smiled and said, "Wu Shanqing, come back with me now."
"Oh." Wu Shanqing, who had been stopped by her, moved upside down in the air and moved to Yue Mingxi's side.
Yue Mingxi looked at the wooden stick hanging in the air, twitched her lips, and couldn't help but reach out and flick Wu Shanqing's forehead, "Oh what oh, come down quickly."
Fang Chengfeng and Xiao Yuan both widened their eyes in surprise. They had never seen their junior sister smile at them so happily before!
"Okay." Wu Shanqing obediently jumped back to the ground.
The wooden stick returned to Wu Shanqing's hand. Wu Shanqing touched it with great affection and then put it back into the void.
Yue Mingxi blinked. "Is this the wooden stick you used to hold my hand before?"
“Yes.” Wu Shanqing nodded. “It’s very straight, I like it.”
"Okay." Yue Mingxi smiled and secretly noted down Wu Shanqing's preferences in her mind.
I like sparkly gemstones and very straight wooden sticks.
Looking up at him, Yue Mingxi said, "Come back with me."
Wu Shanqing stretched out his hand, "Give me the book, I'll help you carry it, otherwise I'm not leaving."
"Okay, okay." Yue Mingxi smiled and satisfied him.
After handing over the books, Yue Mingxi looked at Fang Chengfeng and Xiao Yuan, "Senior Brother Fang, Senior Brother Xiao, I'm leaving now, goodbye."
"Alright, alright, goodbye, junior sister." The two nodded absentmindedly.
After taking only a few steps, Wu Shanqing turned his head and suddenly looked at the two of them coldly.
Fang Chengfeng and Xiao Yuan were stunned when they saw the young man, who was wearing a white veil, suddenly turn around.
Before the two of them could catch their breath, the boy immediately turned to his junior sister and said, "I want to eat Sichuan peppercorn chicken."
"Okay, okay, I'll make it for you when we get back, alright?" the junior sister replied gently.
The boy turned back, curled his lips into a smug smile, and waved the book in his hand at them to show off.
Fang Chengfeng & Xiao Yuan: "..."
Watching his junior sister and Xiao Yuan walk away, Xiao Yuan said blankly, "He does seem to have the right to be arrogant."
Fang Chengfeng covered his face and cried, "What happened to fair competition?"
Xiao Yuan patted him on the shoulder and comforted him, "Do you still want to eat Sichuan peppercorn chicken later?"
Fang Chengfeng broke down and said, "Get out of here! Are you trying to comfort me or to break my spirit?"
Xiao Yuan laughed heartily.
...
Stepping outside, Yue Mingxi picked up her sword and said excitedly, "I've learned how to fly on a sword now. I'll take you back."
"Alright." Wu Shanqing nodded and stepped toward Yue Mingxi's sword.
During her month-long stay at Xuanyun Sect, Yue Mingxi practiced swordsmanship to the point that she was no longer afraid of heights.
After Yue Mingxi rubbed her lips and ears every day, her hard work paid off.
Three days ago, Wu Shanqing finally regained his hearing and voice.
Standing on the sword, Yue Mingxi said, "After lunch today, I'm going down the mountain with Sister Bai and two senior brothers to do good deeds."
Wu Shanqing frowned. "Is it okay if we don't go?"
Yue Mingxi smiled and said, "I want to go. I like helping others, and besides, this is a mission, I don't want to be treated specially."
“Fine,” Wu Shanqing said sullenly, “then I’ll go with you.”
“Okay,” Yue Mingxi said happily.
The sword stopped in the bamboo forest. Yue Mingxi sheathed the sword, turned her head and asked, "Besides Sichuan pepper chicken, what else would you like to eat?"
Wu Shanqing shook his head. "No more."
"Okay," Yue Mingxi said with a smile, and started walking towards the kitchen.
Wu Shanqing followed her, "I'll do it with you."
Yue Mingxi warned him, "Don't do so much."
Every time she cooks, Wu Shanqing has to cook with her, but in the end, Yue Mingxi only needs to touch the ingredients and add the seasonings.
"Okay," Wu Shanqing replied reluctantly, handing her the book.
Yue Mingxi curled her lips, took the book, and put it into her storage bag.
She originally planned to put it in her storage bag in the library, but Wu Shanqing, that childish brat, insisted on taking it for her.
There was nothing she could do; she had spoiled him, so Yue Mingxi had no choice but to let him be.
After dinner, Yue Mingxi, Chen Wanbai, Fang Chengfeng, and Xiao Yuan gathered at the training ground.
Wu Shanqing, who had insisted on coming along before the meal, suddenly had an emergency and didn't come.
Fang Chengfeng said happily, "Yay, everyone's here, let's go."
"Okay." Chen Wanbai smiled and smiled.
The four of them traveled on their swords and stopped in a remote village.
Chen Wanbai smiled and said, "Let's start here. Xiaoxi and I will be a team, and Fang Chengfeng and Xiao Yuan will be a team, okay?"
Xiao Yuan glanced at his junior sister and slowly replied, "Okay."
After the four separated, Yue Mingxi said happily, "Sister Bai, this is my first time going down the mountain to do a mission."
Chen Wanbai smiled and said, "You can come again in the future."
"Hehehe, okay." Yue Mingxi looked around as she walked.
She hoped she could find a very straight stick for Wu Shanqing to take back and make that seemingly cold but actually cute and childish guy happy.
As I was walking, an old woman came towards me from the roadside, struggling to pull a cart full of oranges.
Yue Mingxi and Chen Wanbai exchanged a glance, and the two immediately ran up.
Yue Mingxi smiled and said, "Grandma, let us help you push it."
The old woman looked up at the two immortal disciples and hurriedly said, "No, no, no!"
Chen Wanbai smiled and said, "There's nothing that can't be done, Mother-in-law."
Pushing the cart, Yue Mingxi chatted with her, "Grandma, are you taking it to the market to sell?"
The old woman wiped the sweat from her face and smiled, "Yes, I'll take it back to the market to sell and get money for my grandson's medical treatment."
As she spoke, the old woman became sad.
"My poor grandson, I don't know what's wrong with him, he's been lying in bed unconscious, and the doctor said we need to go to a bigger place to see a doctor."
Yue Mingxi looked at Chen Wanbai, and Chen Wanbai nodded to her.
With a smile, Yue Mingxi comforted the old woman, "Grandma, perhaps we can help you get your grandson checked out."
The old woman's eyes widened; she had encountered a celestial being and hurriedly tried to kneel down to express her gratitude.
Chen Wanbai quickly stepped forward and grabbed her, "Mother-in-law, you mustn't do this, it's what we should do."
So, going to the market with the cart turned into going back to see a doctor.
As soon as she stepped into the courtyard, Chen Wanbai frowned uneasily; there was demonic energy here.
Stepping over to the Moonlit Stream, Chen Wanbai whispered, "Little Stream, be careful, there's demonic energy in this courtyard."
Yue Mingxi nodded gently, "Understood, Sister Bai."
The two lifted the curtain and followed the old woman into the house.
A child lay on the bed, his eyes tightly closed, his brows and eyes filled with pain.
Chen Wanbai stepped forward and began to take the child's pulse.
The old woman looked anxious. "Immortal, is there any hope for my grandson?"
Just as Chen Wanbai was about to answer, the child suddenly opened his mouth, and a cloud of black smoke emerged from it.
Yue Mingxi hurriedly pushed Chen Wanbai away, "Sister Bai, be careful!"
Chen Wanbai was prepared and waved away the black energy.
The old woman was so frightened she almost leaned back. "What...what's going on?"
Yue Mingxi quickly helped the old woman up, "Grandma, be careful."
The old woman, barely breathing, suddenly sprang up and reached out to grab Yue Mingxi by the neck.
Yue Mingxi reacted swiftly, raising her hand to press down on the old woman and asking in a low voice, "Who exactly are you people?"
Seeing that she had been exposed, the old woman sneered, and it was clearly a man's voice: "I advise you not to struggle in vain. The two of you are no match for me."
Chen Wanbai stood up, drew her sword, and said, "What are you? How long have you been committing atrocities here? Show yourself now."
The old woman instantly transformed into a man, grinning maliciously, "Can't you even tell what I am?"
Looking down at them, the man said with a gleeful expression, "You're just waiting to be eaten. You're really lucky today, running into two disciples of immortals."
The child lying in bed also sat up at this moment, revealing his true form.
He wasn't even human; he was a monster formed from a mass of black mist.
At this moment, the monster opened its blood-red eyes and coldly opened its blood-red mouth towards them.
Chen Wanbai felt a chill in her heart; she had underestimated her opponent.
She and Yue Mingxi were no match for these two guys.
Chen Wanbai gave Yue Mingxi a hard shove and said, "Little Xi, run!"
The monster sneered in the air, "Don't struggle anymore, neither of you can escape."
Seeing that something was wrong, Yue Mingxi reached out and forcefully pulled off the Taotie tooth pendant from her neck. She then used the move that Wu Shanqing had taught her to firmly fix the Taotie tooth pendant to Chen Wanbai's body.
Chen Wanbai couldn't break free from the Taotie Fang pendant at all, and her eyes widened in surprise, "Xiaoxi, what are you doing?"
Yue Mingxi smiled gently at her, then pushed her away forcefully, saying, "Sister Bai, you should leave quickly."
The next second, Yue Mingxi was swallowed by the monster.
Chen Wanbai's pupils contracted sharply.
