Chapter 2: I Promise You Thousands of Flowers (1)
Once upon a time, there was a fox.
She was clever, cute, sensible, and beautiful. Her only flaw was that she ate a little too much.
What does the story of a fox have to do with me?
The jade rabbit tilted her head, puzzled, but intrigued by the story. Entertainment in a cultivation sect was rare, especially after nightfall when options were limited to meditating, cultivating, or reading books.
“Haw?” she asked curiously, her ears perking up.
Su Youwei smiled faintly and continued, “Then the fox died.”
“?”
The jade rabbit froze in shock, her ears drooping.
╭(°A°`)╮
Su Youwei shook her head and sighed dramatically. “A fox is a fox—treacherous and cunning. No matter how well it camouflages itself, it cannot escape the sharp eyes of the heroine’s personal guard.”
“Haw!”
The jade rabbit’s fur bristled. Who said foxes must be treacherous and cunning? Labeling is unfair!
Su Youwei added, “Let me tell you another story—this time about a long-eared cat demon.”
Long-eared?
The jade rabbit’s ears twitched, and she began to feel uneasy. Instinctively, her ears shrank back.
/ (•ㅅ•)
“Once upon a time, there was a cat demon with very long ears. She was cute and lovely… but then she died too.”
“……”
Su Youwei gently stroked the jade rabbit’s head, her touch oddly comforting. Compared to when they first met, the jade rabbit had grown rounder.
It’s good to be plump, Su Youwei thought. Healthy even!
Letting go of the jade rabbit, Su Youwei smiled warmly and said, “Jade rabbit, tomorrow I’ll arrange for someone to build you a small house. This way, you won’t have to endure the rain outside anymore.”
“……”
The jade rabbit’s expression turned grim.
This seemingly kind gesture was anything but. Once the house was built, it would be impossible for her to stay in Bai Lian’s room.
“Don’t you want your own bedroom?” Su Youwei asked innocently.
What could the jade rabbit say? Refusing outright wouldn’t help her case.
“I like being in the wild!” she declared.
Oh?
Since you like the wild so much, why were you in Martial Sister Bai Lian’s room?
The jade rabbit forced a smile, feigning gratitude as she shouted in an excited tone, “Haw (Screw you)!”
On this day, the jade rabbit truly understood the importance of learning a foreign language.
Su Youwei laughed inwardly, satisfied with her strategy. Reckless actions alone wouldn’t suffice. Patience and timing were key to achieving the best results.
The poor jade rabbit, feeling both wronged and defeated, could only thank her adversary in the end.
Su Youwei extended her hand, shaking the jade rabbit’s paw in mock cordiality before leaving.
As the morning wind swept through the mountains and the sky began to brighten, the jade rabbit sat solemnly on a stone near the medicine garden.
Damn it!
Who leaked the news?!
Her plan had barely begun, yet it was already falling apart.
She glanced at her small, pink paw, a determined glint in her eye.
I need to change tactics. Priority number one is breaking through to the Soul Changing Stage and mastering transformation. Long-term plans? Forget them!
Bai Lian, I won’t stay a rabbit forever!
Under the rising sun, the jade rabbit’s silhouette shimmered, her resolve unwavering.
—
Before dawn, Bai Lian sat in her room, mapping out future plans—not for herself, but for her younger Martial Sisters.
Her own strength was difficult to quantify. Even without her sisters, she wouldn’t need top-level treasures to grow stronger. Wandering aimlessly seemed to suffice.
Why bother fighting and killing?
The outside world was filled with danger, especially from those who sought fame by challenging stronger cultivators. Bai Lian dreaded such encounters.
If a Soul Changing Stage cultivator suddenly challenges me, what can I do?
Despite repeatedly warning others not to spread rumors, they persisted.
Bai Lian sighed, staring at her list of major game events from memory. The list was depressingly short.
However, if she were asked to document the habits of her younger Martial Sisters or even Master An Lan, she could fill pages with ease.
The most troubling thing for Bai Lian was the disrupted timeline. According to the game plot, her third Martial Sister shouldn’t have joined the Duxian Sect yet.
“Am I stuck playing it safe?” she muttered helplessly.
After all, she had only been cultivating for three and a half years. Her understanding of many things was still shallow. If she inadvertently misled her Martial Sisters, she feared ruining their futures.
Even the Great Tao might punish her for such mistakes.
After some thought, Bai Lian decided to consult An Lan. Their relationship had improved recently, and An Lan might offer practical advice.
However, when she visited the forbidden area after daybreak, An Lan was nowhere to be found.
“Out again?”
Bai Lian’s shoulders slumped in disappointment.
Left with nothing to do, she wandered aimlessly until she overheard a group of disciples talking in hushed tones.
“It seems something big has happened. All the Elders were summoned to Yunluo Peak early this morning.”
“?”
By noon, Bai Lian finally learned the truth.
[The Ancient Evil God Has Awakened!]
In the far north of the Eastern Divine Land, a demon once defeated in ancient times had returned.
