Chapter 114

Chapter 114

The sixth package was a lady's mechanical watch with a steel band and white Roman dial.

After unwrapping the packaging, Qi Huan put it on her wrist and admired it for a while, then said to the system: "Do a Good Deed Every Day System, my clever and charming little one, can you help me synchronize the time?"

"Money makes the devil turn the millstone, you understand, my host."

"Ten points."

"...At least eleven points."

"Deal!"

As soon as the words left her mouth, the hands on the watch face suddenly started turning, and then quickly calmed down. Seeing that it was already past eleven o'clock, Qi Huan couldn't help but speed up her actions as she opened the next package.

The seventh package contained an English-Chinese dictionary and several grammar books.

Qi Huan had a sudden thought - weren't these ready-made "code books"?

What if she taught Shu...?

At this thought, she shook her head and made a new assumption.

What if Shu learned by himself from these books...?

And then chose some trustworthy people to learn with him. After that, their secret messages could be written in English, so that even if they were intercepted, the information would not be leaked.

However...

Hanyu Pinyin seemed easier to master.

Qi Huan's eyes lit up, but then dimmed when she heard what the system said.

"Friendly reminder to the host, one of your predecessors in this time and space has taught Pinyin..."

"......"

After a few sighs, she had no choice but to quietly put away the English-Chinese dictionary and grammar books, planning to show them to Shu tomorrow.

The remaining packages were all kinds of snacks: tiger skin chicken feet, spicy prince spicy strips, sorghum crackers, sour plum soup dumplings, flower cattle apples, Shandong big steamed buns, and so on.

Not wanting to brush her teeth again, Qi Huan swallowed her saliva and resisted the temptation to taste them.

She raised her wrist to check the time on the watch face - it was almost twelve o'clock. A little fairy couldn't have dark circles under her eyes, so she decided to go to sleep immediately!

She quickly climbed into bed and fell asleep.

She slept dreamlessly through the night.

When she woke up the next day, only Li Shuchen was left at home.

She was brushing her teeth while he was cooking noodles.

Glancing at the thin spring noodle soup, Qi Huan turned around and went back to her room to get her spicy strips.

With the spicy strips, she ate with relish.

She didn't feel it while eating, but after finishing, her entire mouth was burning hot, and her pale pink cherry lips were also reddened by the spiciness.

Looking at the spicy strip bag, she realized she had bought the spicy flavor. It was really, really spicy!

Qi Huan quickly took out the sorghum crackers and stuffed them into her mouth, chewing constantly, before she felt a little better.

Seeing her red, dewy lips, Li Shuchen's Adam's apple rolled slightly, and his voice was a little hoarse: "Ahuan, what are you eating?"

"Candy!"

Qi Huan took a handful of sorghum crackers from the bag and generously shared them with him: "Shu, do you want to try some?"

"Yes."

He grabbed her hand and pulled her into his embrace, then Li Shuchen kissed her red lips...

Li Shuchen stood up and opened the courtyard gate, his expression returning to normal.

Hearing the sound of the gate opening, Yan Wu quickly stood up, dusting off the dirt on his buttocks, and glanced at the young master with a slightly probing gaze.

As expected, the young master's smile was reserved only for Qi Huan.

He would always show Yan Wu an expressionless face.

Yan Wu knew he had returned at an inopportune time, so he quickly shifted his body, revealing the little Qing Cai behind him.

"Young Master, you previously instructed me to teach Qing Cai the martial arts skills. I have taught her everything, without holding anything back."

Originally, he had taken Qing Cai as a disciple because of her innate spiritual power, and had only taught her some basic skills and simple moves.

As for the true Yan Clan Martial Arts, he did not dare to pass them on without the young master's permission.

Fortunately, the young master had also taken a liking to Qing Cai.

He was interested in her gender.

He made an exception and allowed Yan Wu to teach her the first level of the Yan Clan Martial Arts. Qing Cai learned quickly - she was a true martial arts prodigy.

Yan Wu was very proud - it was he who had discovered this pearl in the vast ocean.

He tossed the dagger at his waist to Qing Cai, saying with a sense of pride, "Come on, show me."

As Qing Cai received the dagger, she began to move.

After she had performed all her moves, Li Shuchen faced her with his bare hands as blades.

Though lacking in internal energy, Qing Cai was exceptionally powerful. After a few bouts, Li Shuchen pushed her back a few steps, withdrew his hands, and placed them behind his back.

"From now on, you will follow Qi Huan. Anyone who harms her, kill without mercy."

It took Qing Cai a moment to digest this, before realizing her task was to protect Sister Qi. Anyone who harmed Sister Qi, she could cut them down!

Qing Cai nodded excitedly, for this had always been her wish and the main reason she wanted to learn martial arts and become stronger.

The clothes she wore were bought by Sister Qi.

The bedding she slept under at night was gifted by Sister Qi.

Even the flesh on her body was nourished by Sister Qi's food.

So, she belonged entirely to Sister Qi!

Qing Cai imitated her master's saluting gesture, cupping her little hands, her voice childlike but her tone solemn:

"Please rest assured, even if I die, I will fight with all my might to protect Sister Qi!"

Li Shuchen nodded in satisfaction.

It was precisely Qing Cai's loyalty that made him place her by Qi Huan's side.

He had other female assassins.

But his assassins were more loyal to him. Even if assigned to protect Qi Huan, they would only obey orders, not wholeheartedly agree.

Abilities could be trained, but loyalty was paramount.

So he chose Qing Cai.

Another reason was Qing Cai's young age. Even living under the same roof, there would be no trouble.

Qi Huan once said that a man who doesn't cherish himself is a rotten cabbage.

As a precious and valuable cabbage, he would never commit such low-level mistakes or give any woman an opportunity.

Beside him, Yan Wu and Qing Cai were completely unaware of his rich inner thoughts.

The master and disciple were engrossed in a spirited debate over whether Qing Cai or Yan Cai sounded better.

Seeing them flushed from arguing, Qi Huan remarked wryly, "Have you ever considered Yan Qing?"
