[Just thirty Immortal-grade offensive magical treasures… not sure if that’s enough. After all, it’s the Tranquil Cloud Sect, can’t afford to be careless…]
Ye Qinghan was speechless. With the equipment her master had given her, it was more than enough to conquer the world. As Ye Qinghan saw Su Cheng’s silhouette rise, she felt moved and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes.
Inwardly, she complained, her master always wearing a long robe—what a waste of such a fine figure! Then she secretly made a vow in her heart. Hehehe, if one day I become supreme, Master will be the first to taste it!
Ye Qinghan tiptoed back to her room, quickly turned off the light, afraid Su Cheng might find out. While she had been admiring her master, her hands weren’t exactly clean—she had not only put out a freshly washed set of clothes for Su Cheng but also stealthily stole one of his garments… Burying her fox head in Su Cheng’s robe, feeling the scent lingering on it, Ye Qinghan felt like her mind was about to melt.
[Was it Qinghan who prepared clean clothes for me? This child is truly thoughtful~]
Ye Qinghan twisted on her bed like a caterpillar, sniffing Su Cheng’s scent, but the moment she heard his inner thought, she froze in shock and immediately pretended to sleep without moving. As expected, Master didn’t notice anything and even praised her for being considerate!
Hehehe!
Obviously, her master had no cultivation level and seldom used Immortal Techniques. Most likely, he did his own laundry.
But now that Ye Qinghan was here, surely he would give her a chance to show herself! She would make her master addicted to her, unable to let go, unable to bear leaving her for even a moment!
…
The next morning.
Ye Qinghan got up early to cultivate.
Building a foundation using the technique Su Cheng gave her wasn’t difficult, though it also wasn’t something that could be achieved overnight.
Since Su Cheng said she only needed to succeed before the secret realm opened, Ye Qinghan wasn’t anxious. With the heavenly treasures and techniques Su Cheng gave her, she felt that even a pig could be raised into an immortal.
As for herself? As long as she followed Su Cheng, achieving immortality was only a matter of time. Although her master had no cultivation level, he was probably ageless and undying.
Ye Qinghan was a fox demon, and living a thousand years should be no problem for her. With so much time, how could she not become a demon immortal?
Imitating Su Cheng, she washed her face before cultivating.
It wasn’t necessary, but Su Cheng had said it was part of the process. Before this, she didn’t really need rest—cultivation was a way of adjusting her physical state.
Although on the surface she was still at the 9th stage Qi Refining Realm, ever since cultivating Su Cheng’s technique, her Cultivation Level had seemingly regressed, but her strength had visibly skyrocketed! Just moments ago, she had reached the 9th level as required by the technique, and Ye Qinghan felt her power was now ridiculous! Even yesterday, during that sneak attack, relying solely on her protective true Qi, she could take sword and blade head-on—only slightly painful?
After finishing everything, Ye Qinghan slowly stood and headed to the main hall to greet her master. “Good morning, Master.”
Su Cheng replied, “Qinghan, I have something to do today. Could you help me buy some vegetables?” Her beautiful eyes sparkled, and Ye Qinghan was happy to oblige.
Su Cheng rarely asked her to do anything, and she was delighted to run errands for him.
“Sure!”
“I’ve written everything you need on paper. Just follow the list.”
“Got it! Don’t worry, Master. I’m not a child!”
Su Cheng scratched his head and gave a wry smile before waving her off. Once Ye Qinghan exited the Soaring Immortal Hall, she eagerly searched through her arms. She’d long wanted to ride an Immortal Sword!
She just hadn’t had the chance. As for why she didn’t use the Frost Edge Sword—of course it was because she couldn’t bear to!
That was the sword Su Cheng gave her; she even hugged it while sleeping—how could she bear to step on it?
She randomly picked a sword from the sword box and soared on it. Soon, she saw the marketplace outside Nanding City. “Yo! Fairy Qinghan is here!”
“Aunt, you’re joking. Qinghan is just a humble cultivator, how could I bear the title of fairy?”
With flowing sleeves partly covering her face, Ye Qinghan appeared shy like an innocent young lady unfamiliar with the world.
“Was it that Su Cheng brat who sent you out on errands?” the aunt huffed, as if Su Cheng had committed some grave crime.
“My master has urgent matters and cannot leave the house. That’s why he asked me to come in his place.” The aunt curled her lips but didn’t ask what Ye Qinghan needed. Instead, she picked some items and started packing them for her.
“Tch, what urgent matters? He’s just being lazy and bullying you because you’re a young girl! That boy’s full of bad habits!”
While ranting, the aunt packed two bundles of fresh celery and baby greens, even adding two tomatoes and a couple of potatoes…
Ye Qinghan was stunned.
“Aunt? I don’t think I mentioned what I needed…” Ye Qinghan looked adorably confused.
At this moment, the word ‘adorable’ was made for her—she was the definition of it!
“Oh, no need to say anything. Just take them.” The aunt walked around from behind the stall and stuffed the packed vegetables into Ye Qinghan’s hands, ignoring any protests.
“This isn’t right…” Ye Qinghan panicked.
Why was this happening?
Could it be because of the fight she had here yesterday that scared the vendors?
“Just listen to me. Keep some of the money for yourself. Save a bit. If that brat bullies you, you’ll have a way out, right?”
“But if Master finds out, won’t that…” This was the first time Ye Qinghan encountered such pure kindness. Though the aunt misunderstood Su Cheng, Ye Qinghan couldn’t get angry—on the contrary, she felt a warm feeling in her heart.
“You silly girl, just say you bought them. What would he know?”
Ye Qinghan smiled.
The aunt made sense! If she were a fox demon, she’d probably have a thousand years of cultivation!
“Then Qinghan will pay a little. Thank you, aunt.”
Since the aunt insisted, refusing again would be impolite. Following Su Cheng’s bargaining standards, Ye Qinghan paid and finally left. She didn’t feel the aunt treated Su Cheng badly. If she couldn’t hear his inner thoughts, she too might’ve been played around like a fool by Su Cheng.
Thinking of this, she recalled Su Cheng giving her Immortal Pills yesterday and… playing her in the palm of his hand… Ye Qinghan was just thankful she could hear Su Cheng’s inner thoughts. If Su Cheng could hear what she was thinking… “Su family’s daughter-in-law? Buying vegetables?”
Heh! Look at this man’s taste! With one glance, he recognized me as the Su family’s daughter-in-law!
“Yes, good morning, Uncle Wang!” Ye Qinghan smiled and nodded.
That slightly presumptuous title didn’t upset her at all—in fact, it made her a bit excited~ “Come, I’ll pack you something. Let that Su Cheng brat make pork ribs for you!” Just like that, one vendor stuffed a bit, another gave a bit, and soon Ye Qinghan couldn’t carry everything anymore…
Standing before the main hall, Ye Qinghan looked adorably at Su Cheng.
Their eyes met—Su Cheng holding a military strategy book in hand. “Qinghan, did you go out robbing people?”
