15 – I Hope You Two, This Fairy Must Die Inside
“Uh…”
Yun Sangsang’s smile froze on her face.
That did seem to be the case.
If a grown man secretly approached a young girl while she was sleeping and started touching her, wouldn’t that be perverted and indecent?
Just now, she, a grown woman, had done exactly that to Little Yuanning while he was sound asleep—that was equally perverted!
Deeply recognizing her mistake, she clasped her hands and bowed deeply in apology. “Sorry, sorry, this celestial maiden sister was careless. I’ll be more mindful in the future. I’ll go out now and guard the cave entrance for you to make up for my mistake. I’m off!”
After bowing, she straightened up and gave Yuan Ning Wang a deep glance before turning and walking out of the cave. She sat down imposingly at the entrance, standing guard for Yuan Ning Wang like a steadfast sentinel.
How strange… Is this child just too mature for his age, or is there something else going on?
Why do his thought processes and some of the things he says always feel so out of place for an ordinary eight-year-old…
He always gives her the impression that he doesn’t seem like an eight-year-old at all.
But she’s observed him many times today and still can’t detect any issues from his appearance or fate. It’s truly baffling…
She’ll just have to keep observing. Hopefully, he’s just overly mature because “children from poor families grow up fast,” and there’s nothing else wrong…
If there really is something off about him—hah, if he dares to pretend to be a child and deceive her, she’ll definitely beat this damn guy to death!
Inside the cave, Yuan Ning Wang had no idea what Yun Sangsang was thinking. Seeing her actually bow and apologize to him just now had left him quite astonished.
Now, watching her back as she sat facing away from him at the cave entrance, after a few moments, Yuan Ning Wang couldn’t help but curl his lips into a smile.
This little celestial maiden actually admits her mistakes and corrects them—not bad at all.
He likes this kind of temperament.
In a good mood, Yuan Ning Wang bent down, intending to use the warm water in the bamboo tube to wipe his body. But the moment his fingers touched the tube, his keen senses suddenly caught a faint “crack” sound!
He abruptly looked up at the cave ceiling!
His pitch-black eyes swirled with demonic energy, allowing him to clearly see the cracks spreading across the cave roof in the darkness.
Damn it, this cave is about to collapse!
Caves don’t just collapse randomly—someone must have caused this. Thinking this, he sharply turned to look at Yun Sangsang.
Damn it, that Broom Star just had to sit right at the cave entrance, didn’t she? No wonder the cave can’t withstand her misfortune and is about to cave in!
Yuan Ning Wang glanced at the cave ceiling again, gritting his teeth in frustration—
Damn Broom Star!
Either move farther away so your wretched misfortune doesn’t affect this cave, and then it won’t collapse!
Or just sit inside the cave, right next to me, so when it collapses, you can immediately grab me and help us both escape!
But no, you just had to sit at the entrance. Now the cave is about to collapse because of you, and you’re sitting so far away that you can’t possibly rush over in time to pull me out of the rubble. What am I supposed to do?
If I want to escape on my own, I’ll have to expose my Demon Lord powers. If I don’t want to reveal my strength, I’ll be miserably buried under this cave!
You damn thing, are you trying to put me in a life-or-death situation no matter what?!
Yun Sangsang cursed and raged inwardly, wishing he could tear into her with a torrent of abuse. Unfortunately, there was no time left for further cursing.He glanced up at the cave ceiling, gritted his teeth, and turned to walk toward the entrance. As he went, he resentfully explained to Yun Sangsang, “Celestial maiden, I have an urgent need. I’m going to the outhouse.”
“Alright.”
Yun Sangsang nodded in understanding. Mortals, after all, using an outhouse was hardly surprising.
Yuan Ning Wang passed by her, deliberately not warning her that the cave was about to collapse.
Who told her to have such low Immortal Power that she couldn’t hear the subtle signs of the cave’s impending collapse? Besides, the cave was collapsing due to her Misfortune—if anyone was to blame, it was her.
Yuan Ning Wang clutched his stomach as he hurried past Yun Sangsang, dashing outside. After running a dozen steps, he heard a loud “crash” behind him—
The cave had finally collapsed.
He turned back to look, hoping to see Yun Sangsang panicking, activating her Immortal Power to leap three zhang high in a desperate escape. That would surely be a pitiful and amusing sight…
However, when he turned, he saw that not only did Yun Sangsang not leap three chi high, she instead slapped her forehead and charged recklessly back into the cave!
“Uh…” This move left Yuan Ning Wang utterly dumbfounded!
Was this Broom Star out of her mind? Did she have to go looking for trouble?
Why would she rush inside when she clearly saw the cave collapsing?
The next moment, an even more violent and thunderous collapse sounded, like mountains toppling and the earth shaking. The entire cave instantly turned into a pile of rubble. Even under the moonlight, one could see billowing dust and flying debris above the ruins.
And the Broom Star, Yun Sangsang, was buried beneath that rubble.
Yuan Ning Wang silently stared at the ruins, his feet rooted to the spot.
The Parrot also remained motionless, perched on a branch as it watched the ruins, its eyes showing no trace of panic.
It tilted its head, its dark, glossy eyes wide open, and after seriously considering for three breaths, decided it couldn’t remain so indifferent—that would be asking for a beating. So, it flapped its wings, pretending to be extremely anxious, and flew unsteadily onto the ruins. Using its delicate little claws, it tried to move the large stones, feigning a desperate attempt to rescue its Immortal Deity master.
Putting on this act, it squawked, “Master, I’m coming to save you!”
“Uh…” Yuan Ning Wang looked at the bird, his face dark with exasperation and speechless.
The Broom Star was crazy, and the bird she raised was just as insane!
The one buried inside was an Immortal Deity, okay? An Immortal Deity who hadn’t exhausted her Immortal Power, capable of withstanding thunderbolts from the highest heavens—how could she be crushed to death by this lousy cave?
She could just raise her hand, transform it into a sword, slice through the rubble, and fly out. Did she really need that bird pretending loyalty to rescue her? What a drama queen!
Yuan Ning Wang felt a headache coming on and sighed inwardly. Damn it, damn it. Even a bird was putting on a show of desperately trying to rescue her. If he, a full-grown man, stood by idly, wouldn’t that make him seem too cold-hearted?
He had to go over and put on an act too. Even if it was just moving one small stone, it would at least make him look like he had a conscience, not an ungrateful wretch.
Yuan Ning Wang shot a glare at the Parrot that had forced him into this charade, then rushed over to the ruins, pretending to be frantic. He shouted, “Celestial maiden, hold on! I’m moving the stones to rescue you!”
With that, he bent down, sifted through the pile of stones at his feet, and slowly picked up the smallest one—weighing less than two jin—pretending to exert great effort as he tossed it aside.When the parrot saw him approaching, it turned its head to look at him, then glanced downward and spotted the fist-sized stone in his hand.
The parrot’s gaze was complicated: “If we’re counting on you, I’m afraid our master won’t be able to get out.”
