Chapter 100: The Shura Field Continues (First Release on Jinjiang Literature City)
She pulled Yan Li away and said, "Let's talk this out. If you use a little more force, you can strangle me and use me as fertilizer."
Yan Li was reluctant to let go; they hadn't seen each other in a long time and missed each other terribly, but she didn't seem very happy. He asked bluntly, "Didn't you say I could come to see you later? Why aren't you happy?"
Yao Sisi thought to herself, "It's not that I'm unhappy, but what the messenger disciple said when I arrived startled me: 'By the way, why did you say you're my Daoist partner? That's so interesting... Do you think they won't let you in if you don't say that?'"
Yan Li's greenish pupils flickered. Am I not your Daoist partner?
That's true, they haven't formed a Daoist couple seal yet, so it doesn't count entirely, but he wouldn't let others take advantage of him. His sixth sense as a man told him that someone in the house was very hostile towards him, and he hadn't even had a chance to make enemies since this was his first time here.
'They must be jealous that I'm with Sisi.'
He slowly released his grip and said softly, "What, can't I be a Daoist partner? Don't you like me?"
Just as Yao Sisi was about to speak, Qi Mu spoke up, saying to the group, "Let's talk about it when we get back. This is the office of the front-peak disciples; it's not good for us to occupy it for too long."
Ri Jiu quickly chimed in, "That's right, we should treat our guests properly when we get back to Jinming Peak."
Then, he asked Yan Li curiously, "What are you doing with that vine in your hand? Is it some kind of companion spirit plant?"
Yan Lirou looked at Yao Sisi with her gentle eyes: "This is not a companion spirit plant, it is my and Sisi's child. Humans like offspring and inheritance, so I brought her a branch that fell off the child to show her."
His words, though not loud, were like a thunderclap from a clear sky, shocking everyone in the room with varying expressions.
Qi Mu was the first to be affected. He felt his fingertips trembling, his face turned slightly pale, and he couldn't breathe properly. He steadied himself, first glaring at Ri Jiu for being so talkative, then walked over to Yao Sisi, tugged at her arm, and reminded her, "There are too many people and too many eyes outside, let's go back to the peak!"
Ri Jiu, who had just been glared at, hadn't yet processed what Yan Li had said. When he finally did, his first thought was, "Could it be that this person knew Si Si even before me? How come I've never heard her mention her before?"
He said with disbelief, "You, Zhi Xiu, are speaking very rudely. What do you mean by 'children'? Who would use a piece of vine as a child? Why don't you just say that the peach orchard outside was all yours!"
Yan Li turned her head to look at him, "You little fox spirit, how dare you say I'm rude? Your cultivation is a whole realm lower than mine, you should call me senior."
Rijiu never expected that his fox identity would be exposed. He was about to refute when he realized that the others didn't seem to react. What was going on? Did they already know?
Do you even know what a hypocrite is?
Zen Ning Immortal Venerable and his Daoist partner stood in the corner, never expecting this melon to be so delicious.
Yao Sisi, who was in the eye of the storm, felt her head getting bigger and bigger. Only then did she realize that the young master was right, "Let's go back first. If we keep making a fuss here, we'll become a laughing stock among the younger generation."
After saying this, her mind started working on which peak in the sect was suitable for cultivation. She absolutely couldn't let them be on the same peak. Ri Jiu was like a child with a temper, and Yan Li wasn't much better. If they argued every day and she had to judge every now and then, what would become of them?
The troubles are simply inexhaustible...
She released Lingyun and threw him outside, then said to Immortal Venerable Channing, "I'm sorry, Immortal Venerable, I have some things to attend to today and I'll have to go back first. We'll have a proper get-together another day when we find some good wine."
But Immortal Venerable Chan Ning had no intention of leaving at all. She slowly boarded Lingyun with her Daoist partner and said, "Oh my, little girl's flying artifact is quite unique. Speaking of which, I've been traveling around all these years and haven't been to your place even once. Since I've caught up with the excitement this time, I'll go and take a look."
Yao Sisi: "..."
Surely my senior wants to see me make a fool of myself, and isn't she going to take revenge for the time she made a fool of herself?
But she didn't want to see a joke. After all, she had never heard of shaving her head as a form of revenge against an ex before. It was too bizarre.
Zen Ning Immortal Venerable didn't want to mention to his Daoist partner that this girl knew about his shaved head, fearing it would reopen old wounds. Although it might not be a scar to him, she still couldn't bear to part with him, especially since this little girl had even secretly peeked at the top of his head. Humph—
They had just gone up when Qin Fubao pulled Tang Yan up as well—
Then, for the first time, so many people rode on the Lingyun. If Yao Sisi hadn't practiced the ritual before, it would have been a bit crowded with so many people. Now it's not crowded, but she just feels that the air is a bit thin.
She looked helplessly at the men in front of her, especially Ri Jiu, who seemed to wish he could turn into a fox and cling to her. Yan Li wasn't much better; one of his hands transformed into a green vine, which he used to push Ri Jiu away and rub against her.
Only the young master stood quietly, but he was standing a little too close...
"Hey, Lingyun is pretty big, so don't all crowd around me..."
I can't breathe anymore, I really...
She seemed to see a pack of stray dogs from her past life. Because she often fed them with dog food, whenever she appeared on the park path, a group of them would quickly dart out, all craning their necks to get in front of her, and they would often fight each other for more food...
She suddenly realized, "You two aren't vying for favor, are you?"
Ri Jiu shook her head, instinctively avoiding the question, and said, "No!" Why even argue about this? Si Si has always liked me the most!
Yan Li glanced at Ri Jiu, who didn't seem to be under much pressure, but the human cultivators not far away were extremely annoyed by him.
This person may seem honest, but he is definitely cunning and treacherous. As for the little fox spirit in front of him, she is not even a hundred years old yet, and her mind is not fully developed. She is no threat at all!
He looked at Yao Sisi and said, "I wasn't vying for your favor. I was just all alone in the dark, boundless mine. It was so lonely, cold, and damp there. It wasn't comfortable at all. I really missed your warmth."
Ri Jiu chimed in, "What kind of warmth do you miss? The warmth of being burned by strange fire? You're lying without even thinking. Besides, don't you plant cultivators just like those damp environments?"
Yan Li: "You little fox, don't talk nonsense if you don't understand, or I'll slap you!"
Although he is gentle, he is quite fierce towards his enemies. If there weren't so many of them, he would definitely have taught him a lesson.
Ri Jiu: "Sisi, he's going to hit me. Look, several vines have materialized on his body."
Yan Li: "If you're so capable, then don't tattle!"
Rijiu thought to himself: I'm going to complain, that'll make me seem the most favored, and you're all just delusional fools.
"When did I complain? I'm just telling the truth!"
The two were on the verge of exchanging blows, as if they were about to clash.
Not far away, Zen Ning Immortal Venerable and his companions, not wanting to miss out on the excitement, started a fight!
At the same time, Qin Fubao whispered to Tang Yan, "Luckily you know your own limitations, otherwise with your small frame and cultivation level not much higher than mine, going there would just be asking for trouble."
Tang Yan said in a low voice, "My feelings for the Peak Master are merely admiration."
Qin Fubao thought to himself, "Even if I haven't eaten fatty pork, I've still seen fatty pigs run around, haven't I? You can't see your little schemes from others!"
"When I first met you, I saw you acting suspiciously on Jinming Peak, and I thought I had been robbed!"
Tang Yan: "..."
He wasn't acting suspiciously at all. He even had the nerve to bring up the past. Back then, the peak master was in seclusion, and there was no one to take care of him on the mountaintop. He wasn't the one who went there...
Zen Ning Immortal Venerable didn't care how they met; what she cared about was whether this little boy had also fallen in love.
"You little boy, you've got your eye on that one too?"
Tang Yan dared not refuse to answer, nor dared he speak directly, so he changed the subject and said, "My cultivation is too low to dare to dream of climbing higher. I just happened to run into a junior disciple on another peak who confessed his feelings to Peak Master Yao."
Zen Ning Immortal Venerable became interested: "And then? You were ruthlessly rejected by this girl?"
Tang Yan took a breath, recalling the scene with a headache. He glanced at the few people in the distance who weren't paying attention to him before saying, "Peak Master Yao first touched his forehead and then said, 'He hasn't been possessed, so why is he acting strangely? You've only seen me once, yet you say you admire me. What could you possibly admire about me? Could it be...?'"
The disciple's face flushed slightly. He was about to muster the courage to say "love at first sight" when asked, and I even saw his lips move halfway, when I heard Peak Master Yao say with a sudden realization, "You're probably lusting after me? How can you be so young and already be so disobedient? Tomorrow I'll have your master give you more homework!" Hmm… I saw the disciple's face turn pale. I don't know if it was from the pressure of the homework or from being heartbroken; he looked quite pitiful…
He was terrified that he would suffer the same fate if he went there, and he could empathize deeply with those feelings...
Zen Ning Immortal Venerable asked, "She wouldn't really be looking for someone's master and asking them to assign more homework, would she?"
Tang Yan: "No, because Peak Master Yao doesn't have a deep impression of that disciple. She doesn't even know who his master is. I guess she forgot about it in no time."
Chan Ning: "Wow, how heartless! You still like her?"
Tang Yan dared not speak and kept looking towards Ling Yun's side. Zen Ning Immortal Venerable said, "It's alright, I just set up a soundproof barrier, they can't hear it over there."
Tang Yan: "I didn't want it to be like this, but I couldn't control myself."
Qin Fubao said casually, "If you hadn't liked her in the first place, you wouldn't have had this problem, right?"
Tang Yan sighed softly, "But I don't know when it started. Has Senior Brother Qin ever had a crush on anyone? How did you control yourself?"
Qin Fubao coughed and said, "Why would I need to control myself? I don't like female cultivators at all."
Tang Yan took a step back.
Qin Fubao said, "What kind of disgusted look is that? Can't I just like spirit stones and spirit food?" Then he paused and added, "Your situation is a bit tricky. It's troublesome not knowing when it started. If we knew when it started, we could nip it in the bud. But now..."
This is going to be tough!
Tang Yan thought for a moment and said, "Actually, even if I had discovered it, I wouldn't have been willing to extinguish it. When you said that just now, my heart skipped a beat, and I felt very reluctant. My heart ached a little. Let it be. Maybe this is a test from heaven for me, my tribulation of love. I accept it..."
Yuanxi Daojun, who was not far away, couldn't stand it anymore. "Channing, let's go! The little ones have never experienced anything like this before. It's a difficult time for them. If we can't help, then so be it. Let's not make things worse."
Chan Ning nodded: "Okay, let's go first. But this girl is really popular with men, unlike me back then when I only had you. I never saw anyone confess to me."
Yuanxi Daojun glanced at her indifferently, thinking to himself: Don't you want to think about why I can't stand it?
"I've already turned away all your suitors, otherwise you would have ended up like that little disciple before. Do you think you're any better? Yes, you have a good memory, you might have actually complained to their master."
Zen Ning Immortal Venerable: "???"
Is she that kind of person?

The author says: I went to my mom's house tonight. Tomorrow I'm going to plant corn. It will probably take two days. Planting corn is so tiring. But my dad works in the south. If I don't go, my mom will have to do it by herself. Luckily, we only have about two acres of cornfield, so we won't have to work for too long.
