Chapter 1001: Chapter 466: Clash

Stupid?

The little girl was a bit angry.

This was clearly clever!

It’s just that her foolish master could never understand Qing Jun’s cleverness.

So the dumb person regarded the smart person as dumb.

What a topsy-turvy world!

The little girl felt indignant and wanted to open her mouth and fiercely bite her master’s wrist to prove her own intellect.

But the master’s embrace was just too warm, and it smelled so good…

She comfortably nestled into Chen Ye’s chest, and shamelessly continued to play the unconscious patient.

Forget it, forget it, a small person shouldn’t hold grudges against adults.

Qing Jun decided to keep pretending to be unconscious, while enjoying this rare exclusive hug.

Chen Ye lowered his eyes, looking at the little girl in his arms, who tightly shut her eyes but whose eyelashes trembled erratically, almost making him laugh in exasperation.

This girl was still pretending to be unconscious?

Did she discover that he saw her eating mysterious items and feared punishment, so she chose to play possum?

“Ah, what a pity.”

Chen Ye sighed dramatically, as if deeply regretful, while he gently scraped the girl’s nose with his finger, sounding as sorrowful as he could,

“Having consumed so many unknown poisons, I’m afraid the toxicity is deeply rooted. It looks like the roasted Spirit Chicken, honey-glazed Spiritual Rabbit, and osmanthus Spirit Rice porridge won’t be eaten these days. As your master, I’ll have to find the bitterest Huanglian Antitoxic Pills, feed her with each meal three times a day, and perhaps we can claw back a small chance of life in a month.”

As soon as these words were said,

The little girl in his arms stiffened.

Eating bitter pills for a month? And no meat?!

“Ugh…”

The little girl groaned in difficulty, trying to open one eye, then melodramatically rubbed her little head,

“Oh, master? Why does Qing Jun suddenly feel less dizzy? Perhaps the celestial aura from master dispelled the poison!”

This girl, what nonsense is she spouting!

Chen Ye glared at Qing Jun, too lazy to bother with her, and turned his gaze towards the Scent-Finding Mouse not far away.

The mouse was vivid and lively, with dynamic eyes.

If not for the absence of Vitality, it would be indistinguishable from a living creature.

Chen Ye casually flicked his hand, sending out a condensed Spiritual Light, piercing through the mouse’s body.

The elaborately crafted puppet directly crumbled into dust, blowing away in the wind.

“Master, you broke the little mouse that delivered snacks!”

Qing Jun looked at the wood chips all over the ground, somewhat regretfully smacking her lips, still savoring the slightly bitter pastry from earlier.

The pastry’s texture was ordinary, but it was quite nutritious!

“That was not anything good. It was a bad mouse specifically for catching foolish children.”

Chen Ye shot an annoyed glance at the little girl, lifted the small bamboo basket filled with mushrooms, hung it on her shoulder, and spoke in a gentle tone,

“Your master is too lazy to argue with you. Let’s go back to the valley; someday, I’ll have your senior sister give you a thorough lesson.”

!

Let senior sister teach her a lesson?

Qing Jun shivered involuntarily.

Senior sister has been rather terrifying recently!

Especially at night, always staying alone, not knowing what she’s up to.

One night,

She sneaked a peek at her senior sister, only to see her huddled in a darkened room, her face illuminated in an eerie white light, her expression extremely frightening.

…

The gentle breeze blew.

In the courtyard,

The eldest disciple was engaging in Sword Intent as usual.

Seeing her master return home, the girl stood up to greet him, her delicate nose twitching slightly as she smelled the strange scent lingering on Qing Jun.

“Master.”

Zhiwei respectfully greeted him, her gaze falling on Qing Jun who was guiltily fiddling with the small bamboo basket, worriedly asking,

“What’s wrong with Qing Jun? This scent on her… doesn’t seem to be the fragrance from the valley’s Spirit Plants, but rather carries a hint of complex toxicity?”

“Hmph, ask her yourself.”

Chen Ye sat down at the stone table, poured himself a cup of tea, his tone carrying a trace of helplessness,

“This girl has been quite impressive today, nearly eating away the assassin’s entire inventory.”

“Eating it all?” Zhiwei was puzzled, looking utterly confused.

“Qing Jun didn’t eat it all! The little mouse was stingy, only gave a little, barely enough to be full…”

Qing Jun muttered defensively, her voice getting softer and eventually hiding behind Zhiwei.

Chen Ye took a sip of tea, before explaining the whole story to his disciple.

“I see… but master, you needn’t worry too much about Qing Jun.”

Zhiwei glanced at the guilty little girl, helping to explain,

“Qing Jun’s physique is special; she must know what she can eat and what she can’t. Besides, the Dreamy Immortal Powder is indeed potent but surely won’t be able to befuddle a True Dragon.”

With Zhiwei’s biased words, Qing Jun immediately rose up again from hiding.

The little girl bravely poked out half her head, the tuft of hair on her head shaking proudly: “Exactly, exactly! Qing Jun is really smart, she can distinguish between poison and extra snacks!”

However,

Only to see her senior sister’s expression suddenly turn cold:

“But, having a special physique is no excuse for recklessly risking yourself. If today the monster had used not a sleeping drug but some wicked curse targeting the Divine Soul, or had hidden a destructive artifact capable of tearing flesh within the pastries, what would you do then?”

Qing Jun’s proud tuft of hair drooped down.

“But… but Qing Jun knew master was watching…” the little girl weakly deflected.

“Enough talk. Master, I’ll be sure to reprimand Qing Jun for you… behaving so rashly as her master’s disciple is extremely reckless!”

The raven-haired girl showed no expression.

She originally didn’t intend to reprimand.

But recently…

This girl has been a bit unruly.

She even dared to spy on her senior sister at night.

It greatly affects her determination to take revenge for her master.
