Chapter 35: [Second Sister’s Sword]

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

The next day, Lu Xun pushed open the door, full of vitality.

Being someone at the second level of the Qi Consumption Technique, he wouldn’t look exceptionally haggard just because he didn’t sleep well. On the contrary, he was quite excited.

Throughout the night, he still couldn’t see the Sword Intent clearly, nor did he know what happened when he was exchanging blows with it, his memory was fuzzy.

After all, Sword Intent was a very mysterious thing.

All he knew was that he was “killed” 36 times throughout the night, and that was it.

Thirty-six times in a single night. Was it alright?

Outside the Small Study, Mao Nanbei was lying on a big wicker chair, with one

leg crossed over and the other one hanging in the air, swinging back and forth like a pendulum.

She had a date in her mouth, and seeing Lu Xun wake up, she asked with a muffled voice, “Would you like a bite?”

“No need, thanks fourth senior sister.” Lu Xun woke up early in the morning and didn’t want to eat fruit yet.

Mao Nanbei ignored him and took a small date, then forcefully pushed it into Lu Xun’s mouth while it was open.

Fortunately, she did it with skill. Otherwise, the date might just choke Lu Xun to death.

Left with no choice, Lu Xun took a bite of the date and found it sweet and refreshing to the point that it invigorated him.

This date was not ordinary!

“Isn’t it tasty?” Mao Nanbei passed him another one, saying, “These were just picked from the tree. You can only have two a day. Eating more will do you no good.”

Obviously, the little girl got them for him, which made him feel a little warmth in his heart.

Serving her fish was worth it!

It seemed that the fruit trees on the mountain were extraordinary, as even the dates had the effect of rejuvenating people.

Mao Nanbei looked at Lu Xun with her cat ears twitching slightly and gloated, “How was it? The Sword Intent of the second senior sister… Not pleasant, huh?” The small girl was highly skilled and was aware of everything around her.

She placed her hands behind her, circled around Lu Xun while looking like a mini-adult, and said, “I counted last night. You were stabbed 36 times!”

After saying that, she looked at Lu Xun and suggested deliberately, “Do you want me to ask second senior sister to withdraw her Sword Intent later?”

She wanted to see how Lu Xun would look begging her. As for withdrawing the Sword Intent… that’s impossible. I don’t have that much influence, meow, meow, meow!

Unexpectedly, Lu Xun said, “No, no, this is second senior sister’s kindness. How could I reject it.”

After saying that, he added, “Will the second senior sister’s Sword Intent… disappear over time?

The task deadline was 30 days.

“Not in the short term.” Mao Nanbei said. “Great!” Lu Xun couldn’t help but laugh.

Mao Nanbei:

He was tortured all night, was he addicted to it?

After teasing the little girl, Lu Xun said, “Let’s go, fourth senior sister, I will prepare some food for you.”

“Great! Slurp!” Mao Nanbei instantly put other things aside and started waiting for her food of the day.

“It feels as if I have adopted a cat who refuses to be petted,” Lu Xun pondered.

After arriving in the kitchen, Lu Xun started to knead the dough. He was going to make noodles for the second senior sister and the little girl.

During these past few days, he-ordered some fresh ingredients from the Demon Sect disciples to be sent over, so the kitchen was filled with plenty of food, enabling him to prepare different dishes every day.

Early in the morning, Lu Xun decided to keep it light and make some tomato and egg noodles.

While kneading the dough, he curiously asked, “Four senior sister, why did the second senior sister suddenly leave me with a Sword Intent?”

Mao Nanbei sat at the table, watching Lu Xun knead the dough while saying, “Probably because she saw your Qi Sea was too scarce when you stepped into the second level of the Qi Consumption Technique, and decided to train you more.”

Lu Xun:

It really was veiled criticism!

“Then… how much effort did the second senior sister put into this Sword Intent?” Lu Xun was curious.

“How much?” Mao Nanbei couldn’t help but sneer, then continued, “You’ll find out in the future.”

Upon hearing this, Lu Xun didn’t think too much. He Imew he was still weak, so he concentrated on kneading the dough.

He was going to make a type of noodles today which involved boiling tomatoes and eggs, as it suited his taste.

Pouring the tomato and egg mixture onto the noodles made it look appetizing.

After it was done, they rushed to the bamboo grove with the noodles.

Lu Xun felt as if he was burdened with a heavy task – he had to fatten up the overly thin second senior sister and feed the little kitten beside him.

Inside the bamboo grove, the second senior sister was still sitting on the huge rock.

Her back always gave off a cold feeling. The wide hem of her Daoist robe swelled with the breeze, giving off an otherworldly charm.

Lu Xun stood by the rock, and with palabras dulces but a cunning heart, he clapped his hands toward the second senior sister, “Thanks for your guidance, the second senior sister!”

Obviously, the guidance he was referring to was the Sword Intent.

The second senior sister slightly nodded her head, remaining as silent as ever.

After spending a few days together, Lu Xun had a basic understanding of the second senior sister. Thus, he knew that the cold second senior sister…was actually a stammer.

He didn’t know why, but this stuttering somehow poked at his soft spot, and so he loved to tease her into speaking in front of him.

Of course, Lu Xun, this damn guy, knew how to measure his actions.

He acted as if he hadn’t seen the second senior sister nod, and continued clapping his hands, “Thanks for your guidance, the second senior sister.”

He was a pretty good actor, portraying a “The second senior sister seemed not to hear, so I should thank her again” attitude.

After a while, a faint voice finally came from the rock, “1…1 heard it.”

The pace of speech was obviously slowed down on purpose. She wanted to control her stutter, but it was still beyond her reach.

Seeing this, Lu Xun felt satisfied and decided to stop pushing further. Yes, it’s alright to be a little cheeky, but don’t provoke her too much.

He didn’t think that stuttering was funny, and he definitely wasn’t ridiculing the second senior sister. On the contrary, he found… it was cute?

In the end, only the sound of three people slurping noodles was left in the quiet bamboo grove. The breeze brushed by occasionally, bringing down a few bamboo leaves onto Lu Xun’s shoulder.

He felt a sense of inexplicable contentment.

After eating, Lu Xun and Mao Nanbei leaned against a bamboo tree in an unflattering manner, rubbing their slightly bulging bellies in a clockwise direction.

Lu Xun lifted his head and looked at the back of the second senior sister again. After a while, he said to himself, “Did she gain weight? Doesn’t seem like it, she is still a bit overly thin.”

But if you think about it, it’s only been a few days. The second senior sister is not like you guys who can pile on weight after a simple holiday.

Instead, his gaze eventually landed on the wooden hairpin she used to hold up her bun.

For some reason, this hairpin attracted Lu Xun’s attention.

He sensed a familiar feeling from it.

After looking at it for a long time, Lu Xun finally came to his senses. This hairpin was the second senior sister’s sword!

—A wooden sword!

He faintly sensed the Sword Intent from the hairpin!

Who would have thought, the second senior sister’s sword turned out to be a wooden one, used as a hairpin and nonchalantly stuck in her bun.
