Chapter 24: Wei Ying’s Request

At the same time.

The two people carrying ingredients finally finished their work.

“Thank you, Wei Ying. Without your help, I don’t know how many trips I would have had to make alone.”

Blue Ling’er came out of the granary and thanked Wei Ying beside her.

“Senior, you don’t need to thank me. This is what I should do.”

Wei Ying replied softly.

“You seem a little nervous. What is it, are you afraid of me?”

Blue Ling’er asked with a light laugh.

“In Mingyue City, you were much more spirited than now.”

“No, no… It’s just that the legendary ‘Snow Empress’ is right next to me, so I’m a little…”

“A little uncomfortable, right? Don’t worry. Since Master agreed to let you stay, she already considers you one of us. You’ve only lived Among the Colorful Clouds for a little over a week. It’s normal not to be used to it. Just spend more time with us.”

“Mm, mm…”

Wei Ying nodded.

She still hadn’t fully accepted reality.

She had actually joined the faction of that invincible female demon, and the infamous tenth place on the Black List, the ‘Snow Empress’, was now next to her, chatting amicably.

This was something she wouldn’t dare dream of.

“How have you been living Among the Colorful Clouds these days?”

Blue Ling’er asked Wei Ying.

“Speaking of which, this is actually the first time I’ve met you today. What do you usually do? Do you want me to tell you about some places suitable for cultivation?”

“No, that’s not necessary. I’m doing well Among the Colorful Clouds. It’s so big here, and every corner is worth exploring. Thank you for your kindness, Senior.”

Wei Ying was overwhelmed, not daring to accept too much of Blue Ling’er’s kindness, and politely declined.

“Tch.”

“Mm? Senior, what did you just say?”

“Nothing~”

Blue Ling’er smiled, flawless and unbreakable.

“Did I mishear…”

Wei Ying muttered.

She hadn’t misheard; Blue Ling’er had indeed clicked her tongue in annoyance.

“Sigh… Why are all these people taught by the Righteous Faction so polite? What a shame.”

Blue Ling’er grumbled inwardly.

In Blue Ling’er’s view, there was no way Yu Yi kept Wei Ying just out of simple admiration—there had to be another reason.

So Blue Ling’er deliberately treated Wei Ying warmly, hoping that in the future, Wei Ying would speak well of her in front of Yu Yi.

Like, ‘Senior Blue treats me very well’ or ‘Senior Blue is a wonderful person’.

But Wei Ying refused Blue Ling’er’s goodwill, shattering her plan to boost her reputation with Yu Yi via Wei Ying.

“Senior Blue, actually, I’ve been troubled these days and wanted to ask Senior Yu for something…”

Wei Ying suddenly stopped, looking tense as she spoke to Blue Ling’er.

“I wonder… Senior Blue, could you pass on a message for me?”

“Why don’t you just go find Master yourself?”

“Th-this… I’m afraid it’s inappropriate…”

“There’s nothing inappropriate about it. Anyway… sigh, forget it, I’ll take you.”

Blue Ling’er reconsidered.

Wasn’t this also an opportunity to earn points with Yu Yi?

She quickly changed her mind and decided to lead the way.

This time, Wei Ying accepted Blue Ling’er’s kindness.

The two walked together to the main hall of Among the Colorful Clouds.

However, after entering the main hall, they did not see Yu Yi.

“Mm? Where would Master go at this time?”

Blue Ling’er was suspicious.

At that moment, Blue Ling’er faintly heard a voice from the direction of the bedroom.

The two tiptoed toward the bedroom, when suddenly they heard a soft moan from inside.

“Master… be gentle, it hurts there…”

“What, you can’t stand this little pain? Isn’t this exactly what you like?”

“But, but… yaa, aaaa… No, no, too much, ah…”

Even through a wall, Blue Ling’er immediately recognized the voice as Huang Doudou’s!

“This Huang Doudou, why is she in Master’s bedroom? What are they doing in there??”

Blue Ling’er was flustered on the spot, and without caring that Wei Ying was beside her, pressed herself against the bedroom door to listen closely.

Wei Ying had never seen such a scene and was instantly dumbfounded, frozen in place.

“Should I step back? Or should I go listen with them? If something happens inside and I walk away, will I seem too cold? But if I go up and listen, will I disturb Senior Blue?”

Wei Ying: “This is too hard for me…”

After a while, there was no more sound from the bedroom.

Blue Ling’er was tense to the extreme.

She never expected that before she even acted, Huang Doudou had already sneaked in to seek favor from Master??

“Stop eavesdropping outside and come in.”

Suddenly, Yu Yi’s calm voice came from the bedroom.

Blue Ling’er stood upright through the wall: “Apologies.”

She then opened the bedroom door and walked in with Wei Ying.

As soon as Blue Ling’er entered, she saw Huang Doudou sprawled on the bed, naked under only a thin blanket.

Her entire body looked exhausted, but her face was full of a happy, silly smile.

“This girl…”

Blue Ling’er kept a respectful smile on her face, but was gritting her teeth inside.

However, she quickly realized something was off.

“Mm?”

Blue Ling’er noticed a faint golden light shimmering on Huang Doudou’s body.

This golden light wasn’t something easily seen; it only appeared when true qi was abundant and one’s cultivation was about to break through.

“Master, could it be that Doudou…”

“Correct.”

Yu Yi nodded.

“I just unblocked the meridians sealed inside Doudou’s body, finally helping her break through the bottleneck. Now, she’s just one step away from reaching the Martial Emperor Realm.”

“Master, your disciple has also encountered a bottleneck in cultivation. There may be something abnormal inside as well. Please check your disciple’s body!”

Blue Ling’er knelt down on the spot.

Yu Yi felt that Blue Ling’er was acting strange, but didn’t want to point it out.

“Now is not the time.”

She said ambiguously.

Blue Ling’er didn’t get what she wanted.

Although she was unwilling, she didn’t dare to insist further.

Huang Doudou could rely on being the youngest to act spoiled, but as the senior disciple, she couldn’t.

“You two, is there something you need?”

Yu Yi noticed Wei Ying, who had been standing silently on the side, and asked.

“Senior Yu, this junior has a request.”

Wei Ying bowed respectfully.

“Speak.”

Yu Yi nodded.

“This junior… would like to send a letter home.”

Wei Ying said.

“It’s been ten days since Senior Yu reclaimed Among the Colorful Clouds. Even if news travels slowly, my family in my hometown should have heard of the Hundred Martial Sects’ failed crusade. I… want to let them know I’m safe, to tell them I’m still alive.”

“Please, Senior Yu, grant this request!”

After speaking, Wei Ying knelt down.

“For such a thing, you can just do it directly. Why come to ask for my permission?”

Yu Yi asked in confusion.

“I never forbade you from leaving Among the Colorful Clouds. Just return afterward.”

“Ah…”

“If you want to send a letter, just go to Mingyue City. You worked as a storyteller in Mingyue City for a while; you should know where to send a letter, right?”

“I do, of course I do!”

Wei Ying became excited, thanking Yu Yi repeatedly.

“Then, I’ll go now!”

From her manner, it seemed she had already written the letter in advance, only waiting for this last step.

“Go on.”

Yu Yi smiled softly.

“Be careful on the road.”

Wei Ying paused at the sight, shivering as if fearing Yu Yi would send someone to follow and assassinate her at any time.

“This junior… takes her leave!”

Wei Ying bowed again, then quickly ran out.

Yu Yi’s mood was complicated.

She noticed that for a moment, Wei Ying was frightened by her.

“Ling’er, is Master’s smile that scary?”

“Not at all. Master’s smile is the most elegant and gentle, the most beautiful in the world. If I could see Master smile every day, it would be like living in a fairyland with an immortal~”

“Flatterer.”

Yu Yi said this, but after Blue Ling’er’s flattery, she felt quite pleased.

Wait… Since turning into a woman, have I started to enjoy being called beautiful more and more?
