Yu Hui followed Ming Shu to leave the hall. He felt a little stunned still as if he hadn’t 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 Shu’s 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 didn’t 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. I’m hungry.
The mushrooms were not enough to keep her energetic.
The only thing she needed was Long Shaxue’s and Xie Chuyang’s Hatred Points. Why would she bother to beat others? It’s 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.
“Master.” Yu Hui pulled Ming Shu’s sleeves and turned up his little face. “Thank you.”
“I didn’t do it for you. It’s just for the Ninth Mountain’s reputation. Don’t think too highly of yourself.”
Yu Hui: “…”
Didn’t she do it for me?
I don’t believe it!
She must’ve 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?
“Wu Tong, where’s Lord Ye Yue?”
Wu Tong had gotten used to her master immortal’s recent weird behaviors. “Lord Ye Yue was kept by the immortal emperor.”
“There must be some dirty deal going on.” Ming Shu chutted. “No, wait… is the immortal emperor planning to steal my chef?”
That’s 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.
“What’s the situation here?” Lord Ye Yue approached Wu Tong. “Should I feel the pulse for Master Immortal Yin Zheng?”
Wu Tong thought deeply for a while. “I think it’s really necessary.”
Lord Ye Yue and Wu Tong looked at each other then nodded at the same time. It’s really necessary to check the master immortal’s mental health.
Xie Chuyang defended himself and didn’t fight back. But Ming Shu’s attack was fierce, so if he didn’t 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: “…” F**k, what on earth is ‘for the good of Lord Ye Yue’!
“Master, why do you like Lord Ye Yue?” Yu Hui decided to ask.
“He can cook.”
Yu Hui: “…”
What’s 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: “…”
Not even enough to exchange?
[No.] The system’s 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 don’t need the life skills. See, it’s 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.]
“Yu Hui, stay away from her.”
Yu Hui’s 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. “She’s my master, why should I stay away from her?”
Some guy is coveting my mission target and trying to steal her. No way.
Xie Chuyang continued meaningfully, “She can protect you at one time, but she can’t protect you for your whole life.”
Yu Hui pretended not to understand Xie Chuyang’s words and just grunted with arrogance, “Then I will protect her for my whole life.”
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 didn’t expect Yin Zheng would protect Yu Hui.
So… Yu Hui can’t stay.
Even if he was still young, he wouldn’t 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. “Master, don’t you think it’s very strange that the immortal Taifeng aimed at you today?”
He raised this question as if he were very confused.
Ming Shu pinched a dessert off the plate and put it in her mouth. “Probably he was attracted by my beauty and just couldn’t control his feelings.”
Yu Hui went mad inside all at once. Aren’t you ashamed of saying something like that.
We’re talking about serious things.
And I pondered the reason for a long while.
“Master, I’m serious. Why did he say that?” Long Shaxue had her reasons to behave like that, but why did the immortal man Taifeng identify Ming Shu all of a sudden.
It’s totally unexpected. And after being seen through, he just said he was drunk and didn’t hear the thing correctly.
The immortal emperor actually believed in him then.
There must be something hidden here.
“Have you settled your own issues? Why bother to mind my business?” 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. “I didn’t expect that Fu Xi would …”
Fu Xi was his biological sister, who knew she would help Long Shaxue identify him.
“So, why haven’t you gone to settle your own troubles? Are you expecting others to find an evil beast in my Ninth Mountain and then you’ll be satisfied?” Ming Shu peeked at him with a bit of impoliteness.
Yu Hui rolled his eyes inside but pretended to be calm on the surface. “Master, I … I didn’t mean it. I’ll find a way to send it away.”
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. What’s 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 didn’t 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.
“Other things?” Ming Shu poked it. “What things?”
I don’t know. I didn’t see clearly.
Little Beastie protected its belly from the poke.
“Even you didn’t see clearly?” Ming Shu held her jaw. “Wouldn’t it be a divine beast?”
Lord Ye Yue said that there are divine beasts here.
Little Beastie hummed. No, it’s 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.
