Chapter 0.26 I Saw Through You From the Very Beginning
Qin Gou’s eyes sharpened. Reacting with lightning speed, he dropped the little black dog, Wu Ti Yue, and retreated rapidly. At the same time, he shouted, “Man’er, quickly come and lend your master a helping hand!”
Mu Man’er, who had been concealed, leaped forward and stood shoulder to shoulder with Qin Gou. To avoid causing a stir at Heaven’s Substitution Academy, she was still appearing with the visage of ‘Li Yuanzhen’.
“So, you are the Little Saint Monarch.” A tempest surged in Qin Gou’s heart. This person had understood that the most dangerous place was the safest, and had been skillfully lurking by his side. He just didn’t know why she would suddenly expose herself…
No! Upon closer thought, Qin Gou suddenly realized that he had, without knowing when, grasped all four of Little Black Dog’s credentials. This person had taken a risky gamble, a bold move, but had accidentally played herself to death. No wonder she was so distraught at this moment.
“Qin Gou, didn’t you see through me from the very first moment you saw me? What are you still pretending for?” Wu Ti Yue, thinking he was feigning ignorance, gnashed her teeth in anger and stomped her little feet.
“Huh?” Qin Gou feigned confusion.
Wu Ti Yue’s eyes trembled, and the corner of her mouth twitched. “What ‘huh’? Are you trying to say you never doubted me, and that I’m now foolishly exposing myself?”
“That’s right.” Qin Gou nodded with a serious expression, speaking the truth. “My previous intelligence was flawed, and I had suspected you were from an Evil Sect. Coincidentally, I possess a secret technique that can determine whether someone is good or bad. After testing you, I have had no doubts about you since.”
“Nonsense!” Wu Ti Yue was so enraged she burst into laughter, chuckling. “Do you think you’re funny?”
“Everything I’m saying now is the truth. If you refuse to believe it, there’s nothing I can do,” Qin Gou shrugged helplessly.
“Scoundrel!”
Wu Ti Yue’s eyes turned red, and she couldn’t help but sob, wiping away tears with force, her voice choked. “You’ve already won, why are you still humiliating me? You knew it all along!”
Qin Gou felt ashamed, as if he had inexplicably become a great villain. He quickly waved his hand. “Alright, alright, I know! I saw through you from the very beginning! Who do you think you are, trying to show off your petty tricks in front of this seat?! Is that better now?”
“As expected.” Wu Ti Yue instantly stopped crying and laughed, crossing her arms and tilting her chin. “Hmph, you truly are the Master of Arc-Moon Mountain. Losing to someone like you, I, Wu Ti Yue, am not disgraced at all.”
“Yes, yes, yes.”
Qin Gou shook his head with pity in his gaze and secretly transmitted a message via Spirit Power to Ao Banwei. However, before the transmission could even be sent, a golden-eyed girl gracefully approached.
“Master!”
“Banwei, when did you arrive?”
“The intelligence was a trap, and the enemy is cunning. How could Banwei let Master face them alone? So, while sending Master a Spirit Power Transmission, Banwei had already infiltrated Heaven’s Substitution Academy. I was just hiding in the shadows to avoid being noticed by this Little Saint Monarch,” Ao Banwei said, arriving beside Qin Gou.
“You’ve arrived at the perfect time.” Qin Gou immediately took out the black porcelain blood bottle, dog hair, and other items from before. “All of Wu Ti Yue’s four credentials are here. Refine them immediately, and you can save yourself a great battle.”
“So quickly? Master’s intelligence is indeed unparalleled. You were able to easily collect the four credentials even with flawed intelligence!” Little White Dragon gasped in admiration, filled with deep respect and mesmerization.
“Stop!”
Wu Ti Yue held a round pill between her fingertips and shouted, “Look what this is!”
“How dare you! So the precious pill that Man’er intended to offer to Master was stolen by you!” Mu Man’er was enraged.
“It was meant for the Master of Arc-Moon Mountain? As expected of a precious treasure, that’s good.” Wu Ti Yue held the pill in her palm. “If you dare to refine the credentials, I will destroy this pill directly.”
Qin Gou glanced at Mu Man’er thoughtfully.
The Barbarian Girl glared at Wu Ti Yue, her expression full of pain. “Please, be my guest.”
Ao Banwei understood tacitly and immediately began refining the credentials using a secret technique learned from Ao Ai.
“Damn it, you brought this upon yourselves.” A look of determination flashed in Wu Ti Yue’s clear black and white eyes. She opened her mouth and swallowed the pill.
“You actually ate it?!” Mu Man’er stared, dumbfounded, as if she had seen the most terrifying scene in the world.
“What else? Did you think I was joking when I said I would destroy it?” Wu Ti Yue sneered, but her expression suddenly changed. As if muttering to herself or speaking to an invisible person, she let out a bitter laugh. “Yes, I understand. Lord Jingle, I will not implicate you. I will shatter my own heart!”
“Stop!”
Qin Gou moved like the wind, swiftly reaching for Wu Ti Yue.
“It’s too late, Qin Gou. You are indeed wise and your schemes run deep. You are a great figure! But how could you have foreseen that you couldn’t contend with a commoner’s fury!” As she spoke, tears welled up in Wu Ti Yue’s eyes, and she punched her own chest with her little fist.
Then, with a “thump,” Qin Gou froze in place. Wu Ti Yue’s small fist hadn’t even touched her, yet she had fallen to the ground, four limbs flailing.
“Wh-what’s happening? Why can’t I move?” Wu Ti Yue’s eyes were filled with terror, completely drained of strength.
At the same time, beneath Wu Ti Yue, a pool of clear liquid suddenly appeared, rapidly growing and spreading like a flood.
“It’s so hot, what is that? Why is it wet? Qin Gou, please, tell me, what is that?” Wu Ti Yue widened her beautiful eyes and cried out in alarm.
“Little Black, one man’s honey is another man’s poison. That Joyous Pill, women cannot take it. Otherwise, it will be just like you are now – not only unable to move your whole body, but also unable to stop…” Apothecary Yu said that the effect would last for at least six hours, and if one’s realm was not high enough and they didn’t drink water in time, there could even be life-threatening danger,” Mu Man’er shook her head helplessly.
“Pee… pee?” Wu Ti Yue suddenly looked at Qin Gou, her voice almost pleading. “Don’t, don’t look at me.”
Qin Gou took a step back, then suddenly stepped forward again, taking out an article of clothing from his Nas void ring and covering Wu Ti Yue with it to shield her.
“This damned gentleness.” Wu Ti Yue pouted, unsure whether to cry or laugh.
At this moment, Ao Banwei’s hand movements in refining the credentials paused slightly. Her little face flushed, and she bit her lip lightly, thinking to herself, “This Little Saint Monarch can actually make such a fool of herself in front of everyone, especially Master. I’m so envious… Pfft, how shameless!”
Sensing that Ao Banwei’s refining of the credentials was in its final stage, Wu Ti Yue, her heart as dead as ashes, gave a bitter smile. “I’ve let down Lord Jingle! But since it’s already a foregone conclusion, I admit defeat… Ao Banwei, you also want to become the main consciousness of the Nine Saint Monarch, to become the big sister among us all. Then let me see your capabilities… Are you willing to bear this grievance with me?”
“You’re not going to…”
“Wu Ti Yue is willing to voluntarily merge with Ao Banwei and become your servant, at your beck and call!”
As soon as the words fell, Wu Ti Yue’s petite body transformed into a streak of light and entered Ao Banwei’s body.
For a moment, Little White Dragon fell backward on the ground, her long, slender legs feeling warm. Everything was exactly the same as Wu Ti Yue’s situation just now.
“Mas- Master…”
“Banwei, don’t worry. Your master understands. I swear I will never make you feel embarrassed by looking.”
“Don’t!”
Little White Dragon was instantly annoyed, glaring at him with a resentful look. “How can you treat people like this? Why are you looking at her and not me! You must turn around!”
