Chapter 0 141. Drink More Hot Water
“Sharp eyes!”
Qin Gou quickly gave a thumbs up, but his words were not entirely a joke. The Spirit of the Ancestral Land praised Li Yuanzhen’s clear and moving eyes, it was a fact, and it was also true that Li Xiaogou was pure and lived a simple life. The only problem was…
Did the Spirit of the Ancestral Land want her sect to be more glorious under the leadership of the new Mistress of Ten Thousand Flowers, or should it be renamed ‘Eight Directions Gambling Tower’!
“Master Qin, you flatter me.” The Spirit of the Ancestral Land couldn’t help but restrain her smile and shook her head, saying, “Unfortunately, just now, young friend Yuan Zhen has already decisively refused me. I considered that, since young friend Yuan Zhen came with Master Qin, I wanted to ask you if there was any room for a turnaround in this matter?”
“She refused?” Qin Gou’s tone was calm, not too surprised. After all, it would be too torturous for Li Xiaogou to stay in the Hidden Immortal Tower and act as a proper young lady for years on end.
“Yes. Young friend Yuan Zhen was a little taken aback and asked me…”
‘Do you really think this humble Daoist is pure and chaste?’
Seeing this, Qin Gou was startled, not because of Li Xiaogou’s vulgar remark, but because of the spirit of the Ancestral Land’s imitation of Li Yuanzhen’s tone, the charm in her every move was so vivid and lifelike, it was astonishing.
Whether it was due to talent, or because the Spirit of the Ancestral Land was too infatuated with the Little Gambler before, she remembered every little detail of the other party’s every move.
The Spirit of the Ancestral Land’s eyes were full of melancholy and disappointment, “I genuinely don’t understand why young friend Yuan Zhen regards my Hidden Immortal Tower as a flood and ferocious beast. Even if she insists that she is no longer a child and not so suitable to be the Mistress of Ten Thousand Flowers, she still keeps her distance from my approval!”
Qin Gou’s old face flushed, and his voice was a little embarrassed, “Do you think she’s lying?”
“Of course.”
The Spirit of the Ancestral Land was confident and sure of victory, “I am very good at judging people, and my insight is unique! Didn’t Master Qin just praise me?”
“I was…” Old Qin waved his hands, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, “Let’s put it this way, it seems that the Spirit of the Ancestral Land has indeed been cultivating diligently and has been out of touch with worldly affairs for a long time. Otherwise, when you knew the name ‘Li Yuanzhen’, you would have completely given up the idea of making that wench the Mistress of Ten Thousand Flowers.”
Upon hearing this, the Spirit of the Ancestral Land showed a look of confusion, and then lightly tapped her brow, as if inquiring and communicating with someone else.
Three breaths later, the Spirit of the Ancestral Land’s eyes widened in shock, “The Righteous Valor Fairy of Das Province, the model of the righteous path, the future Sect Master of the Sword Questioning Sect! I should have thought of it earlier, a woman like young friend Yuan Zhen, with her heroic demeanor and outstanding qualities, was destined to be extraordinary.”
“Moreover, she also possesses the Sword Heart Clear Mind Body. It is rumored that cultivators with such a special constitution are absolutely proud and unyielding. Once she decides on something, outsiders can never change it in the slightest. No wonder Master Qin advised me to give up the idea of recruiting young friend Yuan Zhen.”
The Spirit of the Ancestral Land’s tone was full of helpless bitterness, “I finally understand why young friend Yuan Zhen said those words to me. Although they seemed to be spoken carelessly and incoherently, that deliberately fabricated sentence of self-deprecating purity was the most effective way to deal with me! As a straightforward Sword Heart Clear Mind Body, it’s not strange that young friend Yuan Zhen would choose this way.”
Her expression was full of regret and sadness, but she was indeed successfully persuaded.
For a moment, Qin Gou felt a trance, and only the word ‘convenient’ remained in his mind.
Li Yuanzhen, oh Li Yuanzhen, whether it was her Natal Spirit Tool Invisible Slash, or her already deified Sword Heart Clear Mind Body, it was incredibly convenient to deal with all sorts of problems.
No, I must take her for a dozen or twenty wins later to vent my anger!
“If that’s the case, Spirit of the Ancestral Land, please think again. I’ll take my leave first.” Thinking this, Qin Gou cupped his fists and said goodbye.
…
“Little Ball, Master will show you a treasure!”
In front of Qiu Lingyun, Qin Gou took out the ‘Celestial Master’s Protection Token’ he had just obtained as a reward, and said with a gentle smile, “Every time this item is used, it can guarantee that Master will be completely unaffected by your Eight Directions Destiny Spirit Artifact for half an hour.”
“Is that true?” Qiu Lingyun’s clear big eyes were full of surprise.
“Let’s try it and see.” Qin Gou’s mind moved, and the exquisite token in his hand emitted a faint blue light, which covered every inch of Qin Gou’s body and finally disappeared completely.
Then, after receiving Qin Gou’s gaze, Little Ball nervously bit her lower lip, her divine sense meticulously focused on her Eight Directions Destiny Spirit Artifact, and at the same time, she said respectfully, “Master!”
“How is it?” Qin Gou asked with a smile, “Did Little Ball’s spirit tool react?”
“No… the Eight Directions Destiny Spirit Artifact didn’t react at all! That’s great!” Little Ball’s little face turned red with excitement.
“Master!”
A delicate cry was heard, and Qiu Lingyun rushed over like a swallow returning to its nest. This warm and tight embrace was full of affection.
Feeling that Qiu Lingyun’s embrace was a little too tight due to her excitement, Qin Gou patted her back with emotion, and at the same time, he passively realized… it turns out that Big Ball has grown so big.
“Cough, Qiu’er, you are a Buddhist disciple now.” Qin Gou said a little embarrassed.
“Before this humble one became a Buddhist disciple, I was first a disciple of Celestial Master Qin Gou of Arc-Moon Mountain!” Qiu Lingyun said without hesitation, then she looked around clumsily.
As her long-accumulated respect for her esteemed master erupted, the wench seemed unsure of how to express her joy, and busied herself bringing a pile of delicious spirit fruits, saying, “Master, please enjoy!”
Qin Gou nodded with a smile, full of interest, but soon he suddenly remembered that not long ago, when Qiu Lingyun was playing Madam Shen, she had used that divine speed illusion spoon technique on him!
“Hmm! Little Ball… stop for a moment, how can I eat so much?”
A moment later, Qin Gou grabbed Little Ball’s small hand that was offering spirit fruits, and said with a wry laugh.
“Then drink some hot water.” Qiu Lingyun immediately offered a cup of hot tea, and then quickly ran behind Qin Gou, saying, “Master, you worked hard in the secret realm before, let this humble one help Master relax!”
After speaking, a pair of snow-white and soft small hands were placed on Qin Gou’s shoulders.
“In this episode, why does it feel like I’ve seen it somewhere before?” Qin Gou looked a little strange, and then, due to the tingling and numbness from his shoulders and back, he gasped sharply.
That’s right, this ball’s massage technique was so rough and unrestrained. Although the intention was good, anyone who didn’t know would think she was torturing him, trying to tear him apart!
“Master, what’s wrong?” Qiu Lingyun asked puzzledly, “This humble one remembers that when Senior Sister Ye occasionally returned to Arc-Moon Mountain, she also served Master like this, and you were very happy then.”
“It’s nothing, Master just feels a little unaccustomed to it.” Qin Gou pretended to be calm and waved his hand, his body directly making a creaking sound of bones shifting.
“Oh.” Qiu Lingyun nodded her little head as if she understood but didn’t quite understand, and quickly refilled Qin Gou’s tea, “Drink your hot water.”
Seeing this, Qin Gou let out a dry laugh, “No need, Master suddenly has a headache for some reason, so I’ll take my leave!”
Qiu Lingyun did not hesitate and said earnestly, “Headache? This humble one is good at this, just drink more hot water!”
“Hot water your head, you bastard, is that all you know?” Qin Gou sighed, wanting to cry but having no tears.
This girl was full of enthusiasm and extremely excited now, but she had never properly learned to serve others since she was young. Of course, it wasn’t that she was lazy, but because of the Eight Directions Destiny! If she were to genuinely serve someone diligently, it would absolutely be a deadly method!
“This humble one is just too happy… By the way, Master, you still haven’t told me what this marvelous treasure that can block the Eight Directions Destiny is called?” Qiu Lingyun’s eyes were as gentle as water, and she rarely held Qin Gou’s arm affectionately, asking with great curiosity.
“It’s obvious.”
Qin Gou couldn’t hide his doting as he rubbed Qiu Lingyun’s little head, then cast a wry glance at the exquisite token on his waist, as if he had aged ten years in an instant, “It should be called… Qin Gou Artifact!”
