Chapter 134: Besiege Wei to Rescue Zhao
Cangyun Realmâ
The winds howled, and the heavens shifted.
Su Qinian lifted his head, his face filled with shock. âUnbelievable⊠truly unbelievable! That powerhouse probed the
Heavenly Divination
yesterday, and now theyâve done it again within six hours. Arenât they afraid of divine retribution?â
At the
Qingyun Sect
, Mu Baishuang glanced at the sudden change in the skies, her heart uneasy.
With the
Zhongzhou Secret Realm
opening soon, the frequent divination attempts might disrupt her
Heavenly Demon Sect's
planâŠ
Near the
Pill Sect
, within a mountain caveâ
Leng Chanxin raised his head. A golden vertical eye emerged on his forehead.
A thin beam of light shot from the eye, colliding with the celestial radiance.
Suddenly, his body trembled, his face paled, and he spat a mouthful of blood.
âHim⊠again?!â
His chest burned with pain, and he quickly withdrew his aura. The golden eye on his forehead turned scorched and blackened.
He had only wanted to exploit the divination to glean some clues.
But the entity probing the heavens was that enigmatic old ancestor from the
Sword Pavilion
!
He could only pray that the old monster hadn't noticed himâŠ
ă
Heavenly Divination Complete!
ă
ă
The materials for the storage pouch and sachets were taken from⊠a dudou (underbodice)!!
ă
âOhââ Chen Huaiâan froze mid-thought, realization dawning.
âSo thatâs why it felt so familiar⊠waitâŠâ
ââŠWHAT THE F***? A
dudou
?!â
He stared wide-eyed at the storage pouch and sachets in his hand.
Now it made sense. Of course, it made sense!
He hadnât bought these fabrics from the
Virtual Girlfriend Shop
.
Yesterday, he did purchase a red dudou from the store⊠but these were pale blue.
Which meantâ
âNo⊠I canât jump to conclusions just yet.â
Chen Huaiâan narrowed his eyes. Something wasnât right.
Were these materials
new
⊠or
old
?
He immediately conducted a thorough âexaminationââsight, smell, and touch.
But he was stumped. He couldnât recall clearlyâ
What color was
Li Qingranâs
dudou again?
His in-game intimacy level
had
unlocked the bathroom feature, but every time he peeked, the steam was too thick to see clearly.
And honestly, who would stare at laundry when there was
Li Qingran
in the room?
He wasnât that brain-dead.
Howeverâhe did remember
one
detail.
The dudou had a crooked lotus leaf and a little frog embroidered on it.
If I see those two things⊠case closed.
At that momentâ
Li Qingran was sitting cross-legged, facing the rising sun, practicing her morning breathing exercises.
She hadnât yet entered deep meditation.
Chen Huaiâan seized the chance and pressed his
Communication Talisman
:
ă
Qingran, your master has received the storage pouch and sachets.
ă
Hearing her masterâs voice first thing in the morning made Li Qingranâs cheeks flush with joy.
Was there anything more delightful than being acknowledged by her
Shizun
?
Her eyes darted toward the tableâ
The sachets and pouch she had stayed up all night crafting were indeed gone.
She bowed slightly toward the sky, her blushing face hidden under the golden veil of morning light.
âShizun~ Qingran greets you~â
ă
Mm.
ă
Chen Huaiâanâs heart nearly skipped a beatâ
She was too damn cute.
But he maintained his aloof
Masterly
composure.
ă
The storage pouch and sachets are well-made. Youâve passed.
ă
Li Qingranâs heart burst with happiness.
Her eyes sparkled as she smiled sweetly. âIâm so glad Shizun doesnât think Iâm clumsy! My cultivation is still low, so the pouch is small⊠but once I reach the
Golden Core Stage
, Iâll make you bigger ones!â
ă
You are thoughtful.
ă
He pausedâthen went for the kill.
ă
By the way, this fabric is quite nice. Which cloth did you use?
ă
âAhââ
Li Qingran froze, her lashes trembling.
Her heart pounded wildly.
Shizun⊠asked directly?!
How should she answer?!
Lying would be pointlessâ
Shizun
would see through it in an instant.
But if she told the truth, wouldnât he be angryâŠ?
Her whole body felt like it was crawling with ants.
Suddenly, the voice from the talisman sounded againâ
ă
I quite like the fabric. Do you have any left?
ă
ă
Make me some tea sachets and a pillowcase. You decide the design.
ă
âTe⊠tea sachets? A p-pillowcase??â
Li Qingran panicked.
âShizun, IâŠâ
But his presence had already fadedâhe must have gone to handle his affairs.
No room to explain.
Her brain went blankâthen spiraled into chaos.
Tea sachets and a pillowcase⊠with that cloth?!
Her trembling hand opened a small wooden box. Insideâ
The remaining fabric, neatly folded.
Large pieces, enough for a pillowcase.
Scraps, plenty for sachets.
But the thought of her
Shizun
â
Brewing tea with
that
sachetâŠ
Resting his head on
that
pillowcaseâŠ
Her cheeks burned furiously, even redder than before.
The sight of her flustered reflection in the mirrorâ
Peach-blushed skin, moist eyes shimmeringâ
She was more captivating than her
Senior Sister
after a drunken night.
Her heart trembled, and she tore her gaze away from the mirror.
âShizun⊠doesnât
know.
â
Her breath steadied.
Her frantic thoughts slowed.
âIf Shizun knew, he wouldnât have asked.â
âSoââ
âAs long as
I
donât say anythingâŠâ
âHeâll
never
know!â
Her flustered panic turned into quiet resolve.
âSince
Shizun
likes itââ
âAnd since I am his
True Personal Disciple
ââ
âItâs my duty to
make him happy!
â
âLi Qingran!â She puffed her cheeks, slapping her own burning face lightly, âYouâre overthinking it again!
Idiot!
â
Her resolve firmed.
She sat down, brought out her needle, thread, and a spirit stone for preservation.
Piece by piece, she began crafting.
When her fingers hesitated over the cloth embroidered with the
frog and lotus leaf
â
She pausedâthenâ
Stuffed it
inside
the tea sachet, completely hidden.
âAs long as I donât sayâŠâ
âShizun will never know!â
Meanwhileâ
Chen Huaiâan, now dressed and ready, stepped out the door.
From her reactionâŠ
He was already
ninety percent sure
of the truth.
Butâ
If
Li Qingran
was realâif she was truly a
living person
and not just some game NPCâ
Then pressing her any further would be
rude
.
So, he switched tactics.
A classic moveâ
Besiege Wei to Rescue Zhao.
Flanking the problem from the side.
Why tea sachets and a pillowcase?
No deeper reasonâ
He just happened to be in the mood for tea lately.
And he wanted a new pillowcase.
Whatâs wrong with that?
Nothing!
Chen Huaiâan hopped into a cab, biting down on half a crispy
youtiao
from downstairs.
âDriver, to Panjiayuan Market.â
âYou got it, buddy! Seatbelt on!â
