Chapter 206: Jiujiu and Yudie, Who Is She? Who Are You?
While Su Yanyu ran behind a pine tree to change clothes, Feng Yu Die walked back and used her sword to prod the corpses of the four people, investigating them.
After all, they were four cultivators at the Mid Foundation Establishment stage. She worried they might have left some contingency plan, so she didn’t dare leave any survivors to question.
However, she regretted it a little now.
If she had known these people were so weak, she really should have left one alive to ask for details.
“Sigh—”
Feng Yu Die squatted in front of one of them, resting her chin on her hand. She picked up a branch by her feet and poked a person’s face, asking:
“Why did you want to kill me? I didn’t offend you.”
Naturally, asking questions of corpses wouldn’t get her any answers.
Feng Yu Die pouted and tried to recall her recent experiences.
Other than the murder case at the Sword Pavilion yesterday, there was nothing worth mentioning. At other times, she was either drinking and eating roasted chicken with Yun Jiujiu or fighting with Yun Jiujiu…
Judging by the lightning talismans these people set up and their decisive actions, they were clearly trying to take her life, not kidnap or rob her.
Feng Yu Die scratched the back of her head and looked up at the sky:
“Xiao Tian, do you know?”
Xiao Tian confirmed that there were no living beings around before flying down. It shook its head and spread its hands:
“I’ve been busy decorating these past few days, and I don’t know what’s going on outside with you. You ask me, how would I know? Think about it, did you provoke someone again?”
“Tch… useless Xiao Tian,” Feng Yu Die complained, puffing out her cheeks. “If Young Master Ye were here, it would be great. If you asked him, he’d probably know what’s going on.”
Xiao Tian blinked. It felt inexplicably stifled. It, the dignified spirit of the Heavenly Scroll of the Dao, was evaluated by its master as being inferior to a young cultivator?!
But then it thought about it and felt at ease. It was a good thing that its Yu Die relied on Young Master Ye! A very good thing!
“Ah, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes…”
Xiao Tian flew in front of Feng Yu Die with a mischievous grin and stirred the pot:
“Then why don’t you and Young Master Ye become cultivation partners? Then you can ask him anything you want, and I’ll have some peace.”
“Go, go, go!” Feng Yu Die fanned it away with annoyance. “Why do you always try to set me up with Young Master Ye whenever you come out?! It’s so annoying, go back to your nest.”
“Hey—”
Xiao Tian shook its head and sighed, circling Feng Yu Die’s head once before burrowing back into its nest to warm itself.
Feng Yu Die looked around, thinking that she was going to meet Ye Anping and Pei Lianxue tonight. The agreed-upon place was in front of a large ancient tree in the forest below the Central Peak. She could ask then.
At this moment, Su Yanyu also came out of the forest, dressed. Her earlier panic had vanished, and she was much calmer, but she seemed to have suffered internal injuries, her face a bit pale.
Su Yanyu walked to Feng Yu Die’s side, pursing her lips shyly, and thanked her again:
“Young Master Feng… do you have time later? I don’t have many spirit stones on me right now. How about you come back to my room with me, and I’ll give them to you. I can treat you to food and drinks, what do you say?”
“It’s okay, it’s okay,” Feng Yu Die waved with a smile. “Give them to me when you have spirit stones, I won’t charge you interest.”
“Mmm, thank you…”
Su Yanyu nodded, her cheeks flushed, but the next moment she suddenly collapsed forward, making Feng Yu Die stare dumbfounded. She quickly caught her with her chest and held her in her arms.
“Ah? Junior Sister Su, are you alright?”
“A bit dizzy… I think I injured my meridians with the lightning talisman earlier…”
“Then how about I take you back?”
Su Yanyu pursed her lips and said, “…Then I’ll trouble you, Young Master Feng.”
“No problem, no problem~ It’s just a small favor.”
As she spoke, Feng Yu Die prepared to pick her up in a princess carry. However, Su Yanyu looked at her face, hesitated for a moment, and then added:
“Um… Young Master Feng, I… I already have a cultivation partner, so…”
“Hm?”
“No… nothing…”
Su Yanyu said, her eyes slowly closing as she completely lost strength and leaned against Feng Yu Die’s chest.
Feng Yu Die tilted her head and didn’t think too much about it. She squatted down and reached her hand behind Su Yanyu’s knees.
However, just as she was about to pick Su Yanyu up, a shout that echoed through the forest suddenly came from not far away:
“Waaaaahhh—!”
Feng Yu Die turned her head. A cute young girl with waist-length golden curly hair was holding onto the trunk of a pine tree, staring at her with surprise in her eyes.
Seeing Feng Yu Die look over, the little girl stomped her short legs and ran over angrily. But somehow, halfway through, she tripped on her skirt and fell face-first into the snow. After wiping the snow from her face, she continued to run.
The little girl frowned, pointed at Su Yanyu in Feng Yu Die’s arms, and questioned:
“Who is she?!”
Feng Yu Die was stunned for a long time. She looked her up and down and asked with a frown:
“And who are you?”
“I…” The little girl looked at the azure blue skirt she was wearing and suddenly realized, saying, “I’m Jiujiu.”
“You’re also called Jiujiu? What’s your relationship with Sister Jiujiu?”
“I… I am your Sister Jiujiu.” Yun Jiujiu answered shyly. Then she took a deep breath, raised her small fist, and stared into Feng Yu Die’s eyes, saying, “I specifically put it on for you to see! Does it look good?! If you dare say it doesn’t look good, I’ll beat you!!”
Feng Yu Die shrank her head and said:
“Then if you hit me, I’ll definitely say it looks good.”
Yun Jiujiu froze. After thinking for a moment, she asked, “Then if I don’t hit you, do you think it looks good?”
Feng Yu Die looked her over carefully. Yun Jiujiu’s small blue and green dress looked very similar to the one Junior Sister Pei often wore. If it weren’t for the head of long golden curly hair, she would look like a smaller version of Junior Sister Pei.
Since she was Junior Sister Pei, of course, she looked good!
She quickly nodded: “Yes, it looks good.”
“It’s good that it looks good…” Yun Jiujiu nodded and smiled. “I’ll get used to it after a while, and then I can wear it for you to see every day.”
“Ah? Why do you want to wear it for me to see?”
Yun Jiujiu tilted her head and asked back, “Didn’t you say it looks good?”
?
Feng Yu Die didn’t understand, but she didn’t dwell on it. Supporting Su Yanyu, she pointed at the four corpses behind her and said:
“Jiujiu, these people seem to want my life. Can you help me investigate?”
Hearing this, Yun Jiujiu noticed the eight pieces of human remains lying nearby. She was stunned and quickly walked forward, her eyebrows furrowed. She poked one of the people with the tip of herembroidered shoe.
After looking for a while, she turned back to Feng Yu Die and asked:
“Yu Di, who are these people?”
?
“You’re asking me?! You don’t recognize them.”
“How am I supposed to know? Weren’t you injured?”
“No.”
Yun Jiujiu thought for a moment before suddenly realizing— a group of people had infiltrated her Jian Jiu Peak and attempted to surround and kill her Yu Di.
For a moment, veins popped out on her forehead. She immediately stomped on the accumulated snow on the ground, tilted her head back, and shouted:
“Someone—!!!!”
Someone—!!
Ah—!!
The sound waves raged, making the surrounding pine trees sway non-stop and shaking the accumulated snow from the treetops.
Feng Yu Die’s ears buzzed for a while, and she flinched, shrinking her head.
A short while later, dozens of Jian Jiu Peak disciples arrived on their flying swords.
They landed and looked around. Their gazes swept over the three standing figures, and finally landed on Feng Yu Die.
The leader asked:
“Young Master Feng, where is Sister Jiujiu? Didn’t she call us?”
Feng Yu Die’s brow furrowed, and she stared blankly for a moment. She raised her right hand, flicked her index finger, and pointed at Yun Jiujiu, who was standing by the corpses with her hands on her hips:
“Over there~”
Dozens of Jian Jiu Peak disciples turned their heads towards Yun Jiujiu with a “crunch, crunch, crunch” sound. All of them frowned instantly, wondering in unison:
Is that Sister Jiujiu? Where are her usual wooden clogs, shorts, and dragon-patterned robe? Why has she changed into a floral dress and embroidered shoes?
Why did their Sister Jiujiu turn into a woman?!
“What are you staring at?! Investigate for me!!! If you don’t find out who these people are today, I’ll slap each of you! Damn it, daring to do something behind my back! Pfft—”
Oh! She hasn’t turned into a woman! … The Jian Jiu Peak disciples snapped back to their senses and cupped their fists in response:
” ” “Yes!” ” ”
… …
