Chapter 14 Honest Words In His Ear
After that all-night talk, I distanced myself from everyone.
I stayed close only to Qin Ruoyi.
She did not say it, but from the look on her face, I guessed what she feared.
Safety. I gave it to her, that was all.
By then, word through the sect was that this woman, Qin Ruoyi, was under my cover.
I was more than generous to this quiet, annoying woman.
The sect disciples had plenty of talk about the two of us. But with Qin Ruoyi ready to strike the moment a word went wrong, they had to shut their mouths one by one.
Only that damned red text kept prompting me to fix the plot.
It was irritating. It did not seem to touch me, though.
After the red text showed up, those golden subtitles vanished.
I no longer heard long-tongued gossips arguing who was on top, me or Qin Ruoyi.
Of course it was me. Me!
I could have sat on her face, let alone on her body. Tui!
That was status.
I did not say it on ordinary days, but I cared about it a lot.
I had thought the days would just muddle on like that.
Until the disciple assembly that day.
Every disciple had to show up and have their recent cultivation checked.
Xue Qianxing, still refusing to believe it, found me in the crowd.
"Immortal sect families live on inheritance. Little Junior Sister, you said you are an only daughter. Can the elders at home accept Qin Ruoyi?"
Xue Qianxing tugged my arm. It looked like concern, and it looked like a threat.
"What they need is a fine son-in-law who can pass on heirs, not a woman whose talent is only a little outstanding. Little Junior Sister, you are still young. You do not understand what a great family means. Qin Ruoyi is an orphan girl. No one stands behind her."
I looked around. All senior and junior brothers. Not a good place to curse outright. Sigh.
I crooked a finger at Xue Qianxing.
"Come. Lower your head. I will tell you a few true words."
The corner of Xue Qianxing's mouth lifted. He lowered his head, obedient, as if I were about to soften.
I leaned to his ear and spoke very fast. "Fuck your mother, you phoenix man.
You are the only one with a cock, is that it?
Then squeeze a child out of that foreskin and show me!
Clean sleeves? You are just a dead-poor ghost. You grew a bland, dead face, and you really think you are the one pure white jasmine! "
Xue Qianxing's face went stiff. His eyes turned cold.
"Little Junior Sister, have you gone mad?"
"I thought about it. Senior Brother is right. Without offspring, it will not do. Senior Brother, lower your head again. I will tell you what is in my heart."
I crooked a finger at Xue Qianxing again.
Xue Qianxing stayed silent for a few breaths. Suspicious, he slowly lowered his head.
Heh. Idiot.
"Mixed Spirit Root waste. You think you are worthy? How old are you, and still no Golden Core." I mocked him in a copy of Qin Ruoyi's tone.
"Jiang Ling!" Xue Qianxing stared at me, face dark. "Do not look down on me. In a while, you will come beg me on your own."
Sure enough, cursing like that felt good. I was the same, but I was in no rush to cultivate. Heh heh heh.
"What? Trying to trigger the passive, do not bully a poor youth?" I scratched my head, lost. "Then are middle-aged poor and old-age poor not poor?"
Xue Qianxing's rage peaked. He looked ready to strike me.
"Cough." Far off, Qin Ruoyi's face was cold. She let out a warning.
Late, Qin Ruoyi arrived. She stepped toward me.
"Senior Sister!"
"Senior Sister."
"..."
The senior and junior brothers opened a path together and greeted this first person of the sect, fear on their faces.
Xue Qianxing watched Qin Ruoyi come, wary. He could only pull his hand back and drop a hard line on me.
"I gave you a chance. You did not want it. Later, do not come begging me."
"Shout again and I tear your mouth." I cursed.
He shot me a resentful look, then turned and left.
"Bleh, bleh, bleh." I rolled my eyes at him.
