Her persona had long since crumbled completely.
“You ungrateful girl, your elder sister treats you so well, yet you don’t even like her. Your elder sister is very angry now.”
Upon hearing this, Chen Xiaoyan breathed a sigh of relief.
‘So it’s this kind of love. That almost scared me to death.’
‘Luckily it’s normal. Otherwise, if even NPCs are into yuri, I wouldn’t dare to find… Huh?’
‘Wait, what’s wrong with yuri?’
Chen Xiaoyan suddenly realized, ‘Damn, aren’t I a girl now?’
‘Fuck, I fell into a habitual misconception. Damn it.’
She quickly adjusted her mindset, put on a smiling face, and replied in a saccharine, coquettish tone: “How could that be? Of course I like Sister Shen.”
“Oh? If that’s so, then between your elder sister and Chong Chong, who do you like more?”
Upon hearing this, Chen Xiaoyan’s smile froze on her face.
‘Damn, how does this big shot also know that impossible question from the internet?’
‘But, according to the law of speaking human to humans and ghost to ghosts, choosing the first one is definitely right.’
She moved her slightly stiff face and smiled again: “Do you even need to ask? Naturally, it’s Sister Shen.”
“Dead girl, you hesitated just now, didn’t you?” Shen Qingqing’s gaze was sharp and intimidating, staring at someone whose heart was flustered.
Chen Xiaoyan’s face was full of panic. She quickly turned her head away, not letting her see her reaction.
Then, she immediately laughed it off and denied it: “No, Sister Shen, you must have seen wrong.”
Such a perfunctory attitude could only fool fools. How could it deceive an old goblin who had lived for hundreds of years?
Shen Qingqing saw through it at a glance, but she didn’t say it outright.
She could feel that this girl understood her meaning; otherwise, she wouldn’t have been surprised. She just didn’t know why the girl chose to play dumb.
Was she scared?
A teacher who loses dignity, actually expressing love to a disciple.
Shen Qingqing understood Chen Xiaoyan’s actions. If it were herself back then, she would definitely be afraid too. After all, this was a choice that violated morality and ethics, condemned by the world.
But no matter how much Shen Qingqing understood Chen Xiaoyan’s actions, her heart ached faintly, her gaze dimmed, revealing a hint of disappointment.
“Mm, your elder sister saw wrong. This is the magic artifact I promised you. Take it, little girl.”
Shen Qingqing waved her hand, and a jade pendant surrounded by pink light emerged from the void, floating quietly in front of her.
“What’s this?” Chen Xiaoyan extended her left hand to take it and used the system to identify it.
[Spirit Comprehension Pendant]
[Attribute: Lingqi +150]
[Equip Effect: Enhances comprehension of heaven and earth’s spiritual energy, increases Lingqi by x10 daily]
Seeing the effect of this equipment, Chen Xiaoyan’s eyes went wide.
‘Ten points of Lingqi per day? Then that’s three hundred per month, and three thousand six hundred fifty per year?’
‘Even if I do nothing this year, breaking through the Spirit Awakening Realm is completely no problem.’
‘A god-tier item for AFK fishing.’
‘Although I’m not a slacker, with an extra ten Lingqi per day plus daily cultivation tasks, that’s a baseline of thirty Lingqi per day.’
‘Nine hundred per month, and in three months I can reach the goal of five thousand Lingqi.’
‘And that’s the result of slacking off every day.’
‘Mommy, so fragrant, absolutely amazing.’
“What’s wrong? Your elder sister searched everywhere, and only this Spirit Comprehension Pendant suits your current use. It might be a low-level item, but after you break through the Spirit Awakening Realm, I’ll give you a few high-level magic artifacts.” Shen Qingqing saw her staring at the pendant motionlessly and thought she was disliking it for being too low-level.
Chen Xiaoyan’s eyes were wide open. She pointed at the Spirit Comprehension Pendant in her left hand with her right hand, looking at Shen Qingqing with an incredulous expression.
Her eyes were filled with shock.
‘What the hell?’
‘Are you calling this guaranteed god-tier item a low-level piece of junk?’
‘Sister Shen oh Sister Shen, do you have to be so Versailles!!!’
After being stunned for a long time, Chen Xiaoyan came back to her senses, took a deep breath, and the familiar smile reappeared on her face. From her mouth came a pinched voice that made all living beings tremble.
“Sister Shen~” Instantly, Shen Qingqing’s soul trembled. The voice was like a clinging bone worm, endlessly echoing in her mind.
Chen Xiaoyan’s pinched voice was learned from Chong Chong, but her technique wasn’t good. She only learned the form, not the spirit.
So it gave people a feeling that was both nauseating and extremely comfortable.
“Dead girl, talk normally. Stop making trouble from now on.” Shen Qingqing warned with a dark face.
“Oh.” Chen Xiaoyan pouted, a little unconvinced.
“I really don’t understand where you learned such unpleasant sounds. It’s unbearable to hear.”
“Not pleasant?”
“What do you think?” Shen Qingqing glared at her angrily.
Chen Xiaoyan awkwardly twitched the corner of her mouth.
“I think it’s okay.”
“Anyway, if I hear these unbearable sounds again in the future, don’t blame your elder sister for punishing you harshly.”
“Punishment?” Chen Xiaoyan’s eyes suddenly lit up, and she asked with great anticipation: “Is it spanking?”
Shen Qingqing: “…”
A few minutes later.
Outside Tianxin Pavilion.
Chen Xiaoyan was brought out empty-handed by a force.
She stood on the steps outside the pavilion, holding two books, looking dumbfounded.
The angry voice of Shen Qingqing still echoed in her ears.
“Full of filthy language all day. Go back and copy ‘Admonitions for Women’ and ‘Tao Te Ching’ each a hundred times. Don’t come to see me until you finish.”
Chen Xiaoyan was completely stunned.
After all, this was ancient times. There were only brush pens. Copying a hundred times—how long would that take?
She flipped through the book called ‘Admonitions for Women’ and pouted.
‘Tao Te Ching is one thing, but what era is this? Still having ‘Admonitions for Women’?’
‘Tch.’
‘Wait, I almost forgot this is still ancient times. Feudal thoughts really kill people. Not a bit of freedom of speech.’
‘Oh well, I’ll go back and get them to help me.’
‘Hehe, but this trip wasn’t a loss. I not only found a big shot to strengthen equipment, but also got a god-tier AFK equipment.’
Chen Xiaoyan happily put on the Spirit Comprehension Pendant… Eh, there’s no place to wear it. The Tianxiang Bandeau Dress is more like a one-piece dress; there’s no belt to hang the jade pendant on.
After much deliberation, she decided to string the Spirit Comprehension Pendant with a rope and tie it to her right wrist.
Although it looked a bit out of place, there was no choice. This was the only suitable spot on her whole body.
She raised her right hand and shook the pendant hanging from it.
Compared to before, the Spirit Comprehension Pendant had lost its pink glow from when it first appeared. Now it looked somewhat dull, overall appearing to be a very ordinary jade pendant.
If not for the one hundred fifty Lingqi added on the character panel, she would have really suspected it had been swapped.
Back at the small courtyard.
The three girls had already been waiting for a long time.
Seeing Chen Xiaoyan’s return, they all came out from the inner room to welcome her.
Three beautiful girls were rushing toward her. For a moment, she was quite touched. It seemed they really cared about her, Chen Xiaoyan.
‘Ah, being pretty is really…’
“Xiaoyan-jie, Shen Qingqing isn’t angry, is she?”
“Can we strengthen our equipment?”
The half-raised corner of Chen Xiaoyan’s mouth instantly stiffened, then twitched.
Her face was as black as charcoal.
‘What goes around comes around. Now she also experienced how Shen Qingqing felt.’
‘Bah, these three little girls.’
‘Hmph! They’re rotten wood that cannot be carved.’
