“Um, not bad, you’re quite efficient. Send them over for me to check out, hehe!” Chen Huaian rubbed his fingers together, his brows dancing.
Li Qingran heard:
[Place them on the table, I will take them myself!]
Woe~ The master is still so aloof.
Li Qingran hesitantly placed the neatly folded pillowcase on the table, hesitating for a long while before she looked away and said, “Master, there was one tea bag I forgot to give you earlier. Today I found it and put it with the pillowcase.” With that, she quickly pulled out a tea bag from behind her and stuffed it into the pillowcase, then lowered her head to stare at her fidgeting hands.
The pair of eyes under her bangs trembled, filled with mist.
Her fluttering eyelashes conveyed her inner unease and tension.
Would the master discover the secret of the pillowcase and tea bag?
And if discovered, how would he think of her?
But no matter what, it was the master’s own request.
Since it was the master’s own request, no matter what, she wouldn’t be considered a bad girl…
Yes, this matter also had the master’s reason.
She couldn’t blame everything on herself.
She wasn’t the one who did it voluntarily.
She was just… just fulfilling the master’s request.
Just doing what the master liked.
That’s all!
…
Chen Huaian didn’t know that a certain young girl was self-hypnotizing.
He had already received the pillowcase and tea bag.
And he noticed the embroidery on them, the lotus on the pillowcase and the frog on the tea bag.
Chen Huaian narrowed his eyes, realizing that this matter was not simple.
“Hmm… Was this intentional? Or an accident?!”
After careful analysis and serious consideration, given Li Qingran’s shy and bashful personality, she certainly wouldn’t do this intentionally. His request had already made the girl quite embarrassed, and this should have been left there by accident when making the pillowcase and tea bag.
But does it matter?
He vaguely remembered the lotus on the left and the frog on the right.
Knowing these details was enough.
Compared to the previous tea bags, this one in his hand was truly a royal masterpiece.
Chen Huaian immediately wrapped a packet of tea around a tea bag and brewed some tea.
Then he changed the pillowcase to the lotus one and buried his head in it to feel the difference.
“Whoosh—! Suck—!”
This soft fabric.
This enchanting fragrance~
Sigh~ So intense!!!
But something still felt off.
Chen Huaian held the pillow for a while and finally realized—it was the material of the pillow.
It needed to be changed!
“Qingran, I’m very satisfied with your pillowcase and tea bag. Hmm… Do you have any softer fabric? I also need pillowcases, sheets, table pads, head covers, scarves, gloves, masks…”
Chen Huaian rambled on.
Li Qingran heard:
[Your intentions are already received, very good. I am very satisfied.]
That’s it?
Li Qingran looked eagerly into the void.
Is that all the master has to say?
Did he discover anything or not?
Probably not, otherwise he would have said something else.
Thinking this way, Li Qingran felt both relieved and disappointed.
Her heart pounded wildly.
Suddenly, she wanted to see how the master would react after knowing those secrets.
What kind of attitude would the master use toward her?
“No, no, this is too risky.”
She pinched her thigh, the sharp pain clearing her mind somewhat. She kept telling herself: Such thoughts are pathological, unacceptable, disrespectful to the master. Be careful, or they might not even be master and apprentice anymore.
To avoid the master asking strange questions,
Li Qingran quickly changed the topic.
“Master, there’s news from Pavilion Head Su. He has informed other sects about the spread of demonic cultivation. Later, Danzong and Spirit Intuition Valley found out that some disciples were practicing demonic arts. With these two sects announcing it publicly, now all sects in the Cangyun Realm are conducting strict self-inspections. Those disciples who practiced demonic arts have all been caught.”
Li Qingran gazed into the void with admiration.
This was her master.
Without a doubt, Pavilion Head Su was unreliable, but the master’s employment of the unreliable Su Head allowed a series of chain reactions to make unreliable things reliable.
Perhaps this was the art of employing people?
She didn’t know when the master would use her.
[Fengyun Sect?]
Chen Huaian recalled seeing a demonic cultivator in Fengyun Sect long ago and asked casually.
“Fengyun Sect also caught disciples practicing demonic arts,” Li Qingran replied.
“Unexpectedly, Fengyun Sect is quite obedient,” Chen Huaian shook his head.
He originally didn’t think that Fengyun Sect could uncover the hidden demonic cultivators.
After all, that sect gave him an overall impression of being unbearably arrogant.
If it weren’t for Li Qingran and Sword Pavilion’s safety in the Central Continent Secret Realm, he wouldn’t bother reminding Fengyun Sect.
He opened the main quest to check Li Qingran’s survival rate.
Now, the demonic cultivation plan should have been disrupted, and Li Qingran’s survival rate should have improved.
However…
:62%
[Second Heavenly Mechanism Hint: A large number of demonic cultivators and some demon cultivators will appear in the Central Continent Secret Realm.]
“This isn’t right! How can the survival rate still be so low?”
Chen Huaian frowned.
The increase of 1% in survival rate was due to Li Qingran’s advancement in cultivation.
The second Heavenly Mechanism Hint remained unchanged, which was odd.
Could it be that the demonic sect’s plan wasn’t to turn these demonic cultivation disciples against them in the Central Continent Secret Realm?
“Tonight, I’ll use the Heavenly Mechanism Hint again until the start of the Central Continent Secret Realm. I won’t believe it otherwise!” Chen Huaian’s face darkened.
Tonight, he would directly deduce the plan of the demonic cultivators in the Cangyun Realm.
As for the loss of fortune?
Haha~
Just a bit of fortune.
He was already staying in the ultimate VIP room with walls 15 meters thick.
How could such a luxurious room explode?
[Dingling—!]
A ringtone sounded, coming from the public phone in the room.
Chen Huaian got up to answer the call, tripping flat on his face.
…
“You mean you want to use KSC-01 toy bear and KSC-02 dragon sniper for live streaming?” Zhao Ying stared at the video of Chen Huaian, who was covered in blood and bruises from the fall, deep in thought.
A General-level Resurrector, even rated A for containment.
Would actually trip and break their nose in the room?!
If it hadn’t happened right in front of her, who would believe it.
“That’s right,” Chen Huaian nodded, his broken nose gradually healing as he spoke with a muffled voice, “Those baby bears and lobsters aren’t obedient, right? You let them stay with me, and I’ll make sure they behave and help you with tasks. At the same time, I’ll stream them for profit. All the earnings will be mine. What do you think?”
Zhao Ying carefully considered Chen Huaian’s words.
The revival of spiritual energy and the appearance of monsters could no longer be hidden. The Demon-Slaying Division and the families represented by the authorities hoped that the public would quickly accept this fact rather than endless panic.
Live streaming – combining entertainment and educational aspects, makes it easier for people to accept.
It seemed highly feasible…
As for why Chen Huaian needed money.
Wuzzy Beard had already told her the reason.
Chen Huaian had a fear of financial insufficiency!
She could fully understand this!
Resurrectors often had quirks.
For example, she loved shocking herself with an electric baton; she felt uncomfortable if she didn’t shock herself several times a day.
And it must be some sensitive areas to get the full effect, only then could she sleep well after.
“Okay, I’ll arrange for KSC-01 and KSC-02 to move in with you right away.”
Zhao Ying nodded, hesitated for a moment, and added worriedly, “Be gentle with them…”
“Don’t worry, we get along well.”
“Then, do you have any other requests?”
Chen Huaian thought for a moment and raised one finger, “Yes, there is! Get me a silicone pillow, one with skin-like texture and fully silicone-filled…”
Zhao Ying: “Ah?”
Chen Huaian: “Well, I like to play with toy bears and eat dragon snipers when I can’t sleep, so I need to ensure the quality of my sleep!”
Zhao Ying: “…”
…
…
Li Qingran
