Yu Hui followed Ming Shu to leave the hall. He felt a little stunned still as if he hadnât recovered from what happened just now.
He thought he would be doomed today, but who knew that he was fine as always. Instead, Long Shaxue was dead.
Ming Shuâs final statement shirked all responsibility away. She never admitted that there were any evil beasts in the Ninth Mountain, and even said the evil beast was very possibly fleeing from Xiyue Mountain.
If it were not that he had one himself... he would have believed it.
Long Shaxue found it difficult to explain. She brought one up here by herself!
Now the immortal emperor punished her to stay in the punishment platform. It was not a serious punishment, but it was humiliating.
[Guest, why didnât you take action today?] The system asked with a bit of curiosity.
Because we need to be a reasonable person.
[...] Come on, you? Reasonable? Are you serious?
Ming Shu was a little upset. Iâm hungry.
The mushrooms were not enough to keep her energetic.
The only thing she needed was Long Shaxueâs and Xie Chuyangâs Hatred Points. Why would she bother to beat others? Itâs just a waste of strength.
[...] The system thought she finally thought it through and decided to walk a high-end route. Yet it turned out she was just no fighting match for the enemy. This was a typical Ming Shu thing, which was great.
âMaster.â Yu Hui pulled Ming Shuâs sleeves and turned up his little face. âThank you.â
âI didnât do it for you. Itâs just for the Ninth Mountainâs reputation. Donât think too highly of yourself.â
Yu Hui: â...â
Didnât she do it for me?
I donât believe it!
She mustâve done it for me!
Ming Shu glanced at Yu Hui. This little goblin always liked acting a lot, which made me a little worried.
What should I eat now?
âWu Tong, whereâs Lord Ye Yue?â
Wu Tong had gotten used to her master immortalâs recent weird behaviors. âLord Ye Yue was kept by the immortal emperor.â
âThere must be some dirty deal going on.â Ming Shu chutted. âNo, wait... is the immortal emperor planning to steal my chef?â
Thatâs not good. I have to go get him back.
I must guard my chef.
Ming Shu then went back hurriedly. As she just arrived at the entrance, Lord Ye Yue and Xie Chuyang walked out together.
Ming Shu paused, made eye contact with Xie Chuyang in the distance, then rolled up her sleeves and rushed at him.
Lord Ye Yue watched the two fight with a dumbfounded look.
âWhatâs the situation here?â Lord Ye Yue approached Wu Tong. âShould I feel the pulse for Master Immortal Yin Zheng?â
Wu Tong thought deeply for a while. âI think itâs really necessary.â
Lord Ye Yue and Wu Tong looked at each other then nodded at the same time. Itâs really necessary to check the master immortalâs mental health.
Xie Chuyang defended himself and didnât fight back. But Ming Shuâs attack was fierce, so if he didnât fight back, he would definitely be restrained by Ming Shu.
In the end, Xie Chuyang was thrown down onto the ground and Ming Shu gave him a fierce beating.
After the kicking and beating, Ming Shu felt even more hungry. She pulled Lord Ye Yue along and left with him, riding the clouds, while Yu Hui and Wu Tong were left on the spot.
Ye Yue: â...â F**k, what on earth is âfor the good of Lord Ye Yueâ!
âMaster, why do you like Lord Ye Yue?â Yu Hui decided to ask.
âHe can cook.â
Yu Hui: â...â
Whatâs the big deal of that!
System, give me that cooking skill!
I can cook as well!
[Lord Nine, sorry, but your points are not enough.]
Yu Hui: â...â
Not even enough to exchange?
[No.] The systemâs voice was weak. [As you know, these kinds of living skills will cost a lot of points.]
F**k, this is discrimination. Why the hell does it cost so many points to exchange a living skill!
[Lord Nine... you donât need the life skills. See, itâs cheap for you to exchange for tools of mass destruction. But for the conquest department, the tools of mass destruction will cost many, many points. You lose, you win, so just calm down, Lord Nine, and put down that knife in your hand.]
âYu Hui, stay away from her.â
Yu Huiâs front was suddenly blocked by a shadow and Xie Chuyang appeared before him, looking at him with a gloomy expression.
Yu Hui put the knife behind him and revealed an aggressive smile. âSheâs my master, why should I stay away from her?â
Some guy is coveting my mission target and trying to steal her. No way. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Xie Chuyang continued meaningfully, âShe can protect you at one time, but she canât protect you for your whole life.â
Yu Hui pretended not to understand Xie Chuyangâs words and just grunted with arrogance, âThen I will protect her for my whole life.â
Xie Chuyang may have thought that speaking too much to a kid was beneath him, so he just looked at him for a few seconds then left.
What happened today was really unexpected to him.
He didnât expect Yin Zheng would protect Yu Hui.
So... Yu Hui canât stay.
Even if he was still young, he wouldnât allow any male to stay around her.
...
When Yu Hui came back to the Ninth Mountain, Lord Ye Yue had already left. Ming Shu was eating the freshly cooked pastry in the kitchen with a very satisfied expression.
Yu Hui stepped closer. âMaster, donât you think itâs very strange that the immortal Taifeng aimed at you today?â
He raised this question as if he were very confused.
Ming Shu pinched a dessert off the plate and put it in her mouth. âProbably he was attracted by my beauty and just couldnât control his feelings.â
Yu Hui went mad inside all at once. Arenât you ashamed of saying something like that.
Weâre talking about serious things.
And I pondered the reason for a long while.
âMaster, Iâm serious. Why did he say that?â Long Shaxue had her reasons to behave like that, but why did the immortal man Taifeng identify Ming Shu all of a sudden.
Itâs totally unexpected. And after being seen through, he just said he was drunk and didnât hear the thing correctly.
The immortal emperor actually believed in him then.
There must be something hidden here.
âHave you settled your own issues? Why bother to mind my business?â Ming Shu raised her brows to look at him.
Yu Hui thought of his evil beast, and lowered his head, somewhat depressed, but then became a bit angry. âI didnât expect that Fu Xi would ...â
Fu Xi was his biological sister, who knew she would help Long Shaxue identify him.
âSo, why havenât you gone to settle your own troubles? Are you expecting others to find an evil beast in my Ninth Mountain and then youâll be satisfied?â Ming Shu peeked at him with a bit of impoliteness.
Yu Hui rolled his eyes inside but pretended to be calm on the surface. âMaster, I ... I didnât mean it. Iâll find a way to send it away.â
Ming Shu buried herself in the dessert again and just ignored him.
He stared at that plate piled with alluring desserts and became even more angry. Whatâs so great about knowing how to cook!
Yu Hui left the kitchen and went to find his toad.
Little Beastie rolled in happily and jumped onto the table. It reached out to take the dessert, but was stopped by Ming Shu immediately.
Little Beastie grunted, then turned to another plate.
Ming Shu watched it and didnât stop this time.
Little Beastie lay on its back before Ming Shu, and its little paws touched its swollen belly, looking very cute.
Poop-picker, let me tell you one thing. There are other things on the mountain, you should be careful.
âOther things?â Ming Shu poked it. âWhat things?â
I donât know. I didnât see clearly.
Little Beastie protected its belly from the poke.
âEven you didnât see clearly?â Ming Shu held her jaw. âWouldnât it be a divine beast?â
Lord Ye Yue said that there are divine beasts here.
Little Beastie hummed. No, itâs not. Divine beasts have better scent.
Little Beastie pouted with its pink lips and licked them, humming again. That thing has a bad smell. It must taste awful.
