Chapter 203: Chapter 54 Not the Protagonist
A Yan scanned the surroundings, driving away the Outer Disciples of Azure Peak who wanted to get close.
Ye Changsheng fed it some food, and A Yan left contentedly.
“Then I’ll call it a night here,” Ye Changsheng said.
“Okay,” Zhong Yanhan nodded.
She looked at the clothes she had just taken off in Ye Changsheng’s arms.
They still held her… body heat. Would he do anything?
“I’ll alter this dress and give it back to you tomorrow,” Ye Changsheng replied.
“No, it’s just that I took it off, it’s a bit…”
“Oh, right.”
Ye Changsheng brought it to his nose and sniffed.
“Wow, why does it smell like a fox’s musk?”
“N-no way!” Zhong Yanhan flustered. “I’m a Frozen Sky Fox, how could I be like ordinary foxes? I smell fragrant!”
“Just a joke, it does smell quite fragrant.”
“…Mm.”
When Ye Changsheng said this, Zhong Yanhan felt so embarrassed.
But his own scent was fine.
“See you tomorrow, Xiao Han.”
“Mhm.” Zhong Yanhan watched Ye Changsheng leave.
Gazing at the young man’s retreating back, Zhong Yanhan fell into thought.
When Ye Changsheng watched her dance, he seemed to have remembered someone, and judging by his expression, it was a very important person to him.
Ye Changsheng’s final answer had also been ambiguous.
Who could it be…
She always felt like she was just one step away from entering Ye Changsheng’s heart.
Although the events of tonight made Zhong Yanhan happy, there was still a small sense of regret in her heart.
…
Ye Changsheng returned to his room and lit a candle.
In fact, cultivators who had reached the Qi Refining Realm could already use simple sorcery, such as infusing Spiritual Power into Magical Artifacts to maintain light.
However, during their time in the Wuji Immortal Realm, his Master and he rarely used such sorcery unless absolutely necessary.
Besides cultivation, they lived like ordinary people.
He took out a needle and thread and began to alter his own clothes.
After all, they were designed according to his Master’s measurements, so compared to Zhong Yanhan’s…
They were a bit smaller in the chest.
Ye Changsheng also knew a bit about needlework, as he made his own clothes when he was in the Wuji Immortal Realm.
His Master’s excuse was that self-sufficiency led to prosperity.
However, his Master was a lazy dog and relied on Ye Changsheng for everything.
For example, when Ye Changsheng finally persuaded his Master to cook, his Master gave up after blowing up the kitchen a few times.
So, in terms of culinary arts, he truly had to study the secret manuals himself!
Time passed, and the work at hand was nearing completion.
“Oh, right, I just remembered something,” Ye Changsheng said.
He had previously shattered Zhong Yanhan’s Han Yuan Sword in the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains.
In fact, back then, besides deterring the little fox, the main reason was that the weapon wasn’t suitable for her, and he planned to forge a new one for Zhong Yanhan later.
As for materials, Ye Changsheng had to consider them.
Due to not having a 본명법보 (natal magical treasure), most of the materials Ye Changsheng had acquired before were fed to the Scarlet Wast, and he didn’t have much saved.
“Then I’ll go to the White Emperor Sword Sect’s mining vein. I’ll look for some better materials there,” Ye Changsheng said. “I can also go check on Qiu Muyu, see how that girl is doing.”
The entrances to the White Emperor Sword Sect’s mining veins were mainly concentrated in the mid-level of the sect.
That was also where the Outer Disciples resided and cultivated.
Generally, Outer Disciples, in addition to their daily cultivation, had the responsibility of mining. The more they worked, the more they earned. Based on the materials they mined, they would receive corresponding sect points.
Then, with sect points, they could obtain introductory Cultivation Techniques, Spiritual Stones, auxiliary Magical Artifacts, Pills, and various other things.
This kind of setup was quite realistic… Wait, no, it was quite novel.
If this were an invincible, show-off, righteous immortal cultivation novel, Ye Changsheng felt he would have started from scratch, possessed astonishing talent, joined the White Emperor Sword Sect, started from the Outer Sect, and consistently played the role of a pig to eat the tiger, showing off and facing challenges all the way. He would enter the Inner Sect, eventually become the Chief Disciple, and then expand his map to Qixia Isle, beginning his conquest.
What a pity, he had gotten the wrong script.
“Tomorrow, being next to these protagonists really makes me feel on edge,” Ye Changsheng mused.
What were these sons of destiny, system hosts, Heavenly prodigies whose clans were wiped out, and Dragon Aotians with immensely powerful backings? Ye Changsheng, merely an ordinary undercover agent, could only say—
He was scared, truly scared.
“But fortunately, my Junior Sister isn’t some protagonist, haha.”
Qiu Muyu was merely an ordinary princess of a mortal royal family, with average talent, no significant fortuitous encounters, and an ordinary background. She had no connection to those who possessed immense cheats.
She was likely just a minor character whose appearance was limited to about ten chapters.
Therefore, Ye Changsheng had a slight liking for her. After all, she was now his Junior Sister, so he should care for her a little.
Ah, of course, the most important prerequisite was that Qiu Muyu was a cute girl.
“It’s done. This size should fit the little fox.”
The next day, Ye Changsheng found Zhong Yanhan.
Because he had barged in without notice, Zhong Yanhan was startled when she saw Ye Changsheng.
“Xiao Han, why do you have dark circles under your eyes?”
“Ah? No?”
“Stayed up all night yesterday? You don’t seem like you were in meditation.”
“N-no, I just had a little insomnia…” Zhong Yanhan explained.
She seemed to have something on her mind. Since she had encountered Wuxiao, Ye Changsheng felt she might be feeling increased pressure.
However, learning to cope with pressure was a skill, and Ye Changsheng didn’t deliberately try to comfort her, just like his Master had been with him back then.
He took out the clothes.
“Xiao Han, I altered it yesterday.”
“…Let me try it on then!”
Suddenly, Zhong Yanhan’s spirits lifted, and she took the clothes from Ye Changsheng.
“Chang sheng, wait a moment! I’ll change, and then you can see.”
“Alright.”
Zhong Yanhan took the clothes and returned to her room.
A while later, she came out, still looking a little nervous.
“How is it?”
Ye Changsheng smiled, “Shouldn’t I be the one asking if it fits you?”
“Chang sheng, you answer first.”
“Beautiful.”
“Mhm… okay, it fits me perfectly, and my chest doesn’t feel constricted anymore,” Zhong Yanhan said cheerfully.
She lowered her head and suddenly noticed some small details, her eyes becoming excited.
Chapter 319
The brocade robe was slightly different. Ye Changsheng had made alterations to it, even adding some details.
For example, there was a… little fox.
“You noticed,” Ye Changsheng said. “I embroidered that specifically for you. This dress is exclusive to Xiao Han.”
“Mm, how… unfair.”
Zhong Yanhan covered her blushing face with the back of her hand, her inner gloom seeming to have dissipated.
“Doesn’t this just make… me like it even more?”
“Isn’t liking it more a good thing?” Ye Changsheng asked.
It wasn’t the dress she liked more, but…
Zhong Yanhan said softly, “I can’t bear to wear this dress. I want to cherish it.”
“Then that’s putting the cart before the horse. I still prefer seeing you wear it.”
“Then… I’ll only wear it when Changsheng wants to see,” Zhong Yanhan said shyly.
Ye Changsheng noticed that the little fox had become much softer than when he first met her. She had changed a lot during this time.
Perhaps this was her true personality, and in front of him, she was letting her true nature show.
It was good.
“By the way, today we’ll pause our one-on-one training. I need to go to the Outer Disciple area to see Junior Sister Qiu.” Ye Changsheng said.
“…”
Hearing this, the little fox’s expression visibly worsened.
