Outside Wisteria Residence, beneath the fence wall, Bi Bi Dong leaned against it listening to the cheerful laughter overflowing from the attic window. An involuntary satisfied smile spread across her face.
This was the consequence of subordinates overstepping their boundaries!
A gentle breeze swept past, and Bi Bi Dong's graceful silhouette seemed to dissipate with the wind, vanishing without a trace.
After a long while, the laughter outside Eternal Heaven gradually subsided. Ye Tian finally finished cleaning himself up - undoing the sky-piercing braid tied with a butterfly knot atop his head, washing off the ink stains from his face.
With a click, the door reopened. Ye Tian shifted slightly to make space. "Little Xue, Yue'er, would you like to come in?"
"Ye Tian?" Qian Renxue looked up to see Ye Tian had returned to his usual appearance - black hair and dark eyes, fair delicate complexion, his Taoist robe hanging naturally with an overall spiritual aura that was quite pleasing to the eye. Qian Renxue didn't know if others had grown tired of this sight, but she certainly hadn't.
However, seeing Ye Tian's adorable face now immediately reminded her of the little coal ball from earlier with his sky-piercing braid, butterfly knot, and wide-open eyes.
"Pfft!" Qian Renxue pressed her pink lips together, holding her breath for a moment before ultimately failing to contain herself. "Haha!"
Ye Tian stood inside the doorway, pursing his lips as his dark eyes turned dead-fish-like, staring intently at Qian Renxue. The sound of goose cackles seemed to echo in his ears.
"Hehehe..." Ye Tian followed the goose-like laughter to find Jin Yue'er lying sideways on the floor, looking at him with a smile that held traces of discomfort. With each goose-like cackle, Jin Yue'er's body trembled uncontrollably, clearly on the verge of dying from laughter.
"Wahaha..." Tears welled in Jin Yue'er's eyes as she lamented, "I can't take it anymore, Ye Tian, quickly give me... my medicine~"
"Ye Tian, haha, hurry and give Yue'er hers~" Qian Renxue pointed at Jin Yue'er while clutching her stomach and bending over.
"Mmm, right away~" Ye Tian responded lightly, feeling somewhat fortunate that Bi Bi Dong hadn't used millennium-lasting ink to color him. Otherwise, he'd have to scrape off his facial skin and regrow the flesh.
Ye Tian quietly approached Jin Yue'er, squatting down as purple light swirled in his palm. In the blink of an eye, six purplish-black Marrow Cleansing Pills appeared in his hand.
Just as he was about to bring his hand to Jin Yue'er's lips, the nearly-laughing-to-death, teary-eyed girl suddenly reached out with her small hand, grabbing Ye Tian's wrist to leverage herself up slightly. Bowing her head, she brought her pale cherry lips to Ye Tian's palm.
Like a miniature pig rooting through cabbage, her small mouth rummaged through Ye Tian's palm, quickly making off with five Marrow Cleansing Pills. Jin Yue'er seemed to hesitate for a moment before her small tongue swept up, claiming the sixth pill as her own.
Feeling the moisture in his palm, Ye Tian rolled his eyes helplessly. But Jin Yue'er rolled her eyes even faster than Ye Tian, clutching his hand tightly as she began to perk up... as if intoxicated.
"Gee hee! Ye Tian, I want more~"
"More of your big-headed ghost." Ye Tian pulled his hand back irritably, quickly stood up, shook his wide sleeves, and turned to walk far away, coming to stand before Qian Renxue.
"Ye Tian~"
Qian Renxue could no longer laugh, looking at Ye Tian with a hint of apology on her face.
"Sorry."
"It's fine. I'd laugh too if I were in your position."
Ye Tian shook his head helplessly.
This really wasn't their fault - it could only be blamed on Bi Bi Dong's underhanded methods.
She completely disregarded martial ethics.
But this was actually a blessing in disguise!
Ye Tian understood.
The fact that Bi Bi Dong would resort to such childish behavior clearly meant she had noticed something.
He had already glimpsed the beauty of that pristine snow, yet Bi Bi Dong had only given him a prank-like punishment. What else could this be if not good fortune?
"Little Xue, these are for you."
Ye Tian smiled thankfully and handed five Marrow Cleansing Pills to Qian Renxue.
"Mhm, thank you."
Qian Renxue pressed her lips together and nodded.
"Heh, aren't you tired of saying thank you every day?"
Ye Tian raised an eyebrow teasingly.
"Who told you not to accept my money?"
Qian Renxue gave Ye Tian a charming glare, crossing her arms and lifting her chin proudly.
"Hmph!"
"Can you really control my mouth and stop me from speaking?"
"Well, I can't control that."
Ye Tian shook his head and shrugged.
"I just feel like this seems a bit too formal between us."
"Gurgle~"
Before Ye Tian could finish speaking, his stomach emitted urgent sounds.
"Pfft~"
Qian Renxue chuckled again.
"..."
Ye Tian covered his stomach and smiled wryly.
"I need to go deal with breakfast first. Little Xue, could you look after Yue'er?"
"Mhm! Go ahead~"
Qian Renxue nodded.
Watching Ye Tian's retreating back, she suddenly felt immense curiosity.
She looked at Ye Tian strangely.
Why would Bi Bi Dong play such a prank?
Did Ye Tian do something?
Qian Renxue certainly didn't think this was normal playful interaction between master and disciple,
especially not for the temperamental Bi Bi Dong.
Something must have happened between them!
Qian Renxue furrowed her delicate brows and glanced at Jin Yue'er lying on the floor.
She nodded firmly!
She immediately followed Ye Tian and entered the room.
"Sister Xue~"
Jin Yue'er lay on the floor, staring somewhat resentfully at their retreating figures.
She wriggled like a maggot toward the Eternal Heaven a couple of times.
Feeling her strength returning,
Jin Yue'er immediately scrambled up from the floor, wanting to follow them.
However.
What greeted Jin Yue'er was a cold door panel.
With a bang!
"Ah!"
Jin Yue'er's pained cry followed immediately.
Clutching her head, seeing stars and pills, she staggered dizzily around the living room.
"So dizzy~"
"So many Marrow Cleansing Pills, haha... Ye Tian~ hurry and put them all in my mouth"
"And Sister Xue... uh!"
"..."
Inside the Eternal Heaven.
Qian Renxue had no idea that Jin Yue'er had gotten up and been knocked silly by the door, now lost in daydreams.
Just after entering the room,
Qian Renxue's attention was captured by the Pill Furnace in front and the Taiji Diagram behind it.
Over the past month,
Ye Tian had always received them in the outer living room.
After all, her main purpose in coming here
was to visit Bi Bi Dong while also letting Bi Bi Dong see her.
Therefore,
she only knew which room was Ye Tian's but had never entered it before.
Looking at the screens arranged on both sides,
Qian Renxue found them particularly pleasing to the eye.
The space between the screens seemed somewhat empty, yet everywhere exuded a sense of tranquility.
At this moment, Ye Tian was sitting by the low table beneath the Taiji Diagram, opening a food container and preparing to enjoy the already cooled large meat buns.
The breakfast ordered by Bi Bi Dong was naturally quite extraordinary.
The meat filling was made from the flesh and blood of a hundred-year-old Boar Hog Beast.
Boar Hog Beasts are plump and robust.
The proportion of tough, dry meat typical of other Spirit Beasts was very minimal.
It was an excellent ingredient!
"Little Xue?"
Only when Qian Renxue walked around the Pill Furnace did Ye Tian notice her and couldn't help but ask:
"Is Yue'er alright?"
"She's fine. It's good for her to rest there for a while."
Qian Renxue smiled,
curiously sitting opposite Ye Tian and propping her chin in her hands as she watched him.
"?"
Ye Tian, with a large meat bun in his mouth, was puzzled.
After a moment of thought, Ye Tian understood Qian Renxue's thoughts—it must be related to Bi Bi Dong.
He raised his hand and offered the meat bun from his mouth to her.
"Little Xue, let's talk while we eat."
"??!"
Qian Renxue looked at the meat bun in front of her, slightly stained with saliva, and felt a bit flustered.
