Chapter 3
After Xue Qilin declared his identity according to Qi Guiyuan’s arrangement, the people of the Merak Palace were visibly stunned .
In fact, Xue Qilin felt that this was understandable . She, a loli – at least in appearance, boasted in front of them that she was their Young Ancestor . That is, their teacher’s teacher’s teacher’s... peer . Who wouldn’t be shocked by that? If it hadn’t been for Qi Guiyuan’s jade pendant in her hand, the other party might have labeled her as a lunatic and thrown her out of the mountain .
But when they questioned Xue Qilin half skeptically, they got out of hand with their questions . These questions were of a dazzling variety, not losing out to modern day various surcharges . Although a large majority of the questions were serious, but as every group had odd people, some weird questions were also thrown into the mix .
Faced with these strange questions, which were annoying to answer one by one, much less when they came in a flurry, Xue Qilin disgracefully fell to the ground and pretended to fall asleep .
But, as the saying went, one may get off today but not tomorrow...
“Young Ancestor, did you sleep well?”
“What? I just laid in bed for less than fifteen minutes, beautiful lady!”
Seeing the beautiful girl with a big smile on her face, Xue Qilin made a long face . She managed to escape from the hail of questions with great difficulty . But after laying in bed in a room arranged for her in the Merak Palace for less than fifteen minutes, the Merak Palace’s Palace Master came to bother her .
Although, she came alone, presumably not wanting to let herself fall into a predicament again . But after a moment, Xue Qilin thought – this lass seems to have a screw loose .
Qi Qiqi’s face suddenly went red .
What’s wrong with her? Xue Qilin looked suspiciously at the other party .
As if she felt her gaze, Qi Qiqi coughed and said: “I’m not being bashful because you called me beautiful, okay?”
Uh, is she having a meltdown? Xue Qilin’s head, which was propped by her hands, suddenly jerked down .
“That was just a greeting . ” Although that was true, but Qi Qiqi was indeed a rare beauty .
When they first met, because her attention was divided over many people, Xue Qilin didn’t pay much attention to Qi Qiqi . But now that they were alone, it was no longer possible to ignore Qi Qiqi’s blazing existence .
She was clearly only 16 years old, yet it was very difficult to spot any childishness on her face . Her facial features were exquisite . However, if you looked at her features separately, they could be said to be very ordinary, without anything distinguishing . Yet because of this, these ordinary features assembled together in the right way gave rise to an incredible beauty without any blemishes . In other words, hers was a universal beauty .
The only thing unique about her might be her eyes . The dazzling bright red was hard to ignore . Her eyes were uniquely bright red, deep, and clear, as if there was a flame brewing in them .
Even though her black hair was very common in terms of color, but the gloss of her long, cloud-like black hair made it remarkably beautiful and fascinating . Well, it resembled ink, not only in terms of color, but also in terms of texture... Her hair looked like a black waterfall cascading over her shoulders .
“Young Ancestor?”
“Oh, um... What’s up?” Qi Qiqi’s gentle call brought Xue Qilin back to her senses .
In order to hide her embarrassment, she deliberately spoke in a slightly impatient tone: “That said, Seven Seven-seven... What’s wrong?”
The corners of Qi Qiqi’s eyes twitched, looking like she was suppressing something: “My name isn’t Seven Seven-seven . ”
“Well, I know . I’m not doing it on purpose... My pronunciation is unclear to begin with, and coupled with my childish voice, I have no choice but to pronounce your name as Seven Seven-seven . ” Xue Qilin felt that it was really troublesome arguing with the other party about this, so she simply gave her the reason why . Of course, in retrospect, it may have saved a lot of unnecessary trouble and time if she had done so right from the start . But who knew that it would be so fun seeing the other party argue, and tease her at first .
“Is, is that so... I’m sorry, Young Ancestor, I was wrong . ” Qi Qiqi was clearly a very frank person . After hearing Xue Qilin’s explanation, she bowed her head and apologized embarrassedly .
“It’s no big deal, I don’t blame you . ”
“In that case, Young Ancestor... I have something I need your help with . ”
“What is it?” Xue Qilin looked at her, a little surprised .
Qi Qiqi’s face flushed like a ripe apple; coupled with her clear eyes, it gave off an enchanting feeling . If it was someone else, they might not be able to refrain from swallowing, wishing they could gobble this enchantress up .
“Are you in heat?”
Unfortunately, although Xue Qilin had the mind of a man, but in her essence, she was a lolicon . With her height of about 1,65 meters and her face that didn’t look childish, Qi Qiqi wasn’t part on the menu when it came to Xue Qilin .
Qi Qiqi’s disciples, on the other hand, were more to her liking .
“Who is in heat? I’m fed up with your nonsense!” Qi Qiqi suddenly stood up . With a bang, she slammed her palm on the table .
Doesn’t it hurt? Xue Qilin looked at the tender palm, and suddenly had this thought . But this thought vanished like smoke in thin air in a split second .
Xue Qilin heard cracking sounds . Just as she was wondering what the strange sounds were, the solid wooden table collapsed into pieces . It turned out that the strange sounds just now were the sounds of wood splintering .
Xue Qilin moved her eyes stiffly, and looked at Qi Qiqi’s palm and then at the splinters left from the table .
Is this something that a person would do... This, this girl’s violent nature is off the charts! And to think that I asked her if she’s in heat . Realizing that she may have committed one of the most heinous crimes in the world – the crime of offending a woman, cold sweat just so happened to flow down her chin .
I’d rather offend a criminal than wrong a woman! When Xue Qilin recalled the saying – a wise man knows when the odds are against him, she promptly plastered the smile she thought to be most innocent and pure on her face: “Oh, that... I wasn’t cursing you just now . It was just a friendly inquiry, yeah, a very friendly inquiry . ”
Qi Qiqi listened to Xue Qilin’s excuse with a beaming smile on her face, declining to comment .
How terrifying! Xue Qilin shivered all over . She hadn’t been this terrified ever since her mother died .
Seeing Qi Qiqi’s whole body gradually emit a black aura, Xue Qilin hurriedly did a 360° front flip and bent forward: “I’m really sorry! I yield . ”
There was a moment of stifling silence, which was followed by the sound of adorable laughter coming from above her head .
She’s laughing? Xue Qilin raised her head with trepidation .
Bright red eyes bent into crescent moons, a dimple faintly discernible on one side, setting off sweet lips . Qi Qiqi was smiling .
Her smile was beautiful, unreasonably beautiful . Xue Qilin stared blankly for a moment .
Qi Qiqi seemed to notice Xue Qilin stare at her, and she coughed embarrassedly .
“Ah, sorry!” Coming back to her senses, Xue Qilin hurriedly straightened herself up .
“Let’s see if you dare to let your mouth run unhinged again . ” Finished speaking, Qi Qiqi raised her small fist .
This action was very cute on the surface, yet Xue Qilin took a step back as a result .
“Hmm, what’s wrong?” Qi Qiqi asked suspiciously .
“Er, this... don’t swing your fists around . Look at the table... You could accidentally hit someone in the face...” Xue Qilin didn’t finish the sentence, yet her meaning was conveyed nevertheless .
If you accidentally hit someone with the hand that could splinter a table... what would be the outcome?
However, Xue Qilin didn’t understand the consequences of expressing or hinting at the girl being too violent to her face . If she had thought it through, she would swear on all the lol... cough, the girls in the world that she’d keep her mouth shut .
Yeah, definitely . Xue Qilin watched as Qi Qiqi’s fist got closer, and then... struck her in the belly, sending her flying a good distance away .
