Book 6: Chapter 37: Xuanyuan Yiyao

“Little Heng, you’re back!” Perhaps Fu Hua had heard Chen Heng’s voice. She popped her head out from upstairs.

“Shiki, this is my master. You can just call her Fu Hua.”

“Directly address her by her name? That’s not appropriate, right?”

“Don’t worry. It’s fine. My master doesn’t care about such details.”

“Alright. Hello, Fu Hua. I’m Ryougi Shiki.”

“Hello.”

...

As this was Ryougi Shiki’s first meal after recovering, even though it was medicinal cuisine, Chen Heng only purchased liquid food for her: porridge and red date lotus soup.

These dishes were not ordinary medicinal cuisine; Chen Heng spent 50 points on them.

Don’t look down on 50 points. That is equivalent to 5,000,000 LMD.

Yet, there was only one portion of porridge and soup. What a scam.

Of course, there were better medicinal cuisine options, but Chen Heng did not buy them. Not that he could not bear to, but he feared they might end up overnourishing Ryougi Shiki and causing harm instead.

Ding dong! Ding dong! Right after Chen Heng sent Ryougi Shiki to her room, the doorbell rang. He used his Absolute Precognition to see who had rung the bell.

“Why is she here? Oh! That’s why. I did not expect it.”

Someone attacked Chen Heng the moment he opened the door. That person grabbed his head and shoved it into her chest.

“Hmm...hmm...! Hmm...!”

“Haha! Younger Cousin, it has been a long time. Did you miss me?”

[TL Note: The term for younger cousin here is specific to a younger male cousin via a female line, so in this case, they are related through Chen Heng’s mother.]

“Hmm...! Hmm...hmm...! Hmm...!”

“Hey, Little Brother, why aren’t you speaking?”

“Elder Cousin, I like you a lot!” Chen Heng called out, going through the motions.

“Erm...your words sound like lip service. However, never mind. Catch.” Xuanyuan Yiyao tossed the four jade medallions to Chen Heng. When they arrived within 30 centimeters of Chen Heng, they floated in front of him before he put them away.

“Little Brother, has your attraction ability become stronger?”

“Mankind is always improving. So am I.”

Xuanyuan Yiyao—rather, the entire Ji Clan—knew about Chen Heng’s ability. There was no need to keep this a secret from the Ji Clan. Of course, it was only people from the main branch.

“You must be Little Heng’s master, Immortal Phoenix Fu Hua, right? I’ve heard of your great reputation. This humble one is Xuanyuan Yiyao. Greetings, Senior.”

Xuanyuan Yiyao saw Fu Hua sitting on the sofa when she entered. Then she bowed hurriedly.

Who knew how the world lore was set? In any case, Fu Hua had a prestigious reputation in the hidden world, especially among female cultivators.

“Hello.”

Fu Hua only nodded and returned the greeting before returning to silence.

Actually, Fu Hua was not a very social person. She could not even express her feelings properly to her disciple. How could she be social?

“Madam Fu Hua, I am a fan!” However, Fu Hua’s silence did not affect Xuanyuan Yiyao. Xuanyuan Yiyao sat beside Fu Hua, then shifted closer to her after some thought.

“Ah! Is that so?” Fu Hua inched away, appearing uncomfortable.

“Yes! Yes! I think Senior Fu Hua is very awesome. You are publicly acknowledged as the Immortal Phoenix for protecting China. How awesome!”

“Oh. That was just fellow cultivators giving me face. I’m not worthy of the immortal title.”

Chen Heng could tell his master was flummoxed by his overenthusiastic elder cousin.

“Elder Cousin, back to serious matters. These four medallions should be enrolment medallions for Jixia Academy, right?”

Since the master was in trouble, the disciple had to rescue her.

“Little Brother, don’t you know how to read the room? Don’t you see I’m happily chatting with your master?”

Elder Cousin, I think you are the one who can’t read the room. Don’t you see my master is at a loss because of you? Be more considerate!
