Chapter 14: Protagonist, deer crashing into each other
The following day,
Tick tock, tick tock…
Dewdrops fell into puddles with an ethereal sound, making the room exceptionally quiet.
On the bed near the window, Feng Yudie opened her eyes, turned her head, and saw the gray sky outside, uncertain of the hour.
Xiao Tian, perched on the windowsill, noticed her awakening and immediately flew to her side, asking with a concerned expression, “Yudie, how are you feeling? Any discomfort?”
Feng Yudie tried to clench her fist, then moved to the ground. However, her legs gave way as she stood up, and she sat back down. “Still a bit weak in the legs, but much better,” She replied.
Xiao Tian flew to her shoulder, resting against the back of her head, and said, “Yudie, do you know how dangerous it was for you? If that guy and his junior sister had been just a minute later, your spiritual soul would have scattered completely. I was really worried at that time.”
“Isn’t the important thing that I survived?” Feng Yudie relaxed on the bed again, chuckling. “I must be the favored one, surviving an encounter with a demonic cultivator.”
“Enough of that. Haven’t you heard of ‘there is always someone better’?” Xiao Tian quirked an eyebrow.
“What’s the matter? Weren’t you the one who kept saying I bear the destiny of heavenly mandate?”
“You are indeed the chosen one, with the bloodline of the Holy Emperor and the ability to see me. But do you know what that guy and his junior sister did to save you?”
“What did they do?”
Xiao Tian grinned, saying, “They killed the demonic cultivator who attacked you. I saw it. They burned that cultivator into ashes.”
Feng Yudie momentarily thought she misheard, asking, “Wasn’t that cultivator already in the False Infant stage?”
“Yes.” Xiao Tian nodded. “It’s unbelievable. Those two’s aptitude and spiritual roots aren’t outstanding, but their cultivation speed surpasses their peers. The boy reached the third level of Qi refining at fifteen, and the girl mastered Qi refining at fourteen.”
“…”
“Furthermore, they defeated a False Infant stage demonic cultivator, toppling two major realms. Even though the holy dragon injured the demon cultivator, their strength is evident.”
“Really?”
“I saw it with my own eyes.” Xiao Tian nodded, hovering in front of her. “Let’s not talk about that boy. He’s only at the third level of Qi Refining and can’t surpass you. But that girl named Pei is different. In front of her, you wouldn’t last five moves, believe it or not?”
Xiao Tian intended to temper Feng Yudie’s determination.
Competition could create pressure, and pressure could accelerate growth. It felt that Feng Yudie needed such a rival.
Her qualifications were exceptional, but she needed a challenge.
“This Pei girl is impressive.”
“Yes, there’s always someone better.” Xiao Tian nodded solemnly, adding, “So, you have to work even harder. Your attitude is better than hers. She won’t surpass you in the future. But if you continue to be carefree, thinking only about roasting chicken and playing around, you’ll waste your spiritual roots.”
However, after listening to its sermon, Feng Yudie was not as shocked as she expected. Instead, she blushed inexplicably.
Xiao Tian frowned, “Why are you blushing?”
Feng Yudie covered her face and smiled shyly, “Miss Pei is so beautiful and powerful, and she also saved me. I feel…”
“What do you feel?”
“I seem to have fallen in love with her.”
Xiao Tian’s expression froze for a moment, then he pinched his nose helplessly and kicked her on the head, saying, “Feng Yudie!! I told you this not to excite you but to make you feel a sense of crisis. If you don’t work hard…”
“I know, I know!” Feng Yudie waved and smiled, “But, Xiao Tian, look, I am also a little girl in an ignorant period. How could I not be moved when I see a girl like her? Besides, she is still my savior.”
Xiao Tian’s face was expressionless, “Yudie that Ye kid is also your savior. I can understand your feelings for him, but your feelings for that accompanying girl?”
“Men are bad.”
“…”
Feng Yudie giggled and asked, “Xiao Tian, do you think Miss Pei has a crush on me?”
“Do you think all girls are as clueless as you with a crush?”
“But she stayed with me by my bedside yesterday and even peeled apples for me.”
“You kept this apple core under your pillow last night?”
“Yes, Miss Pei cut it for me,” Feng Yudie pursed her lips and smiled, “I thought about putting it under the pillow so I can dream about Miss Pei when I sleep.”
“…”
Xiao Tian was at a loss for words.
On the contrary, Feng Yudie was a fifteen-year-old girl, and it was normal for her to have secret feelings for someone powerful and handsome.
“Your sister is normal!”
A girl gets into trouble because of another girl.
If her master, Master Tai Xu, knew that she was like this, he would definitely swell her ass.
At this time, there was a knock on the door. Xiaodie opened the door and walked in with a bowl of medicinal porridge.
Xiaodie saw that Feng Yudie had woken up and greeted with a smile, “Miss Feng, are you awake? This is the medicinal porridge that the young master specially prepared for you today so that you can recover faster.”
“Huh! Are you Xiaodie? Miss Pei told me yesterday.”
“Yes, Miss Feng can just call this slave Xiaodie.” Xiaodie walked to the bedside, picked up the medicinal porridge in her hand, and handed it to her, “When you are in the Heavenly Lotus Sect, if you need anything, just call me. The young master said that he wants this slave to serve Miss Feng well, so Miss Feng, you don’t have to be too restrained.”
“I’ll thank you, Master Ye, then.”
Xiaodie nodded, smiled, and said, “If Miss Feng wants to thank you, it’s better to go and say it in person. First, drink the medicinal porridge, and then the servant will help you comb your face and change your clothes. Your clothes were stained with a lot of blood. I tried to wash them, but they were not clean, so I threw them away. The young master brought some new clothes and asked me to bring them to you.”
Listening to Xiaodie talking about the “young master,” Feng Yudie felt as if the young master had taken a liking to her and then asked this little maid to come to her to gain favor.
After a pause, Feng Yudie quickly changed the subject and asked, “Well… by the way, where is Miss Pei?”
“Miss Pei should be practicing swordplay with the young master in the martial arts field right now.”
“Can I go take a look later?”
“Of course. After Miss Feng has finished her porridge, I will take you there.”
