These words rolled around in Ning Guangâs throat for a while, but in the end, she didnât dare to say them. Her hands kept a death grip on the embroidered blankets like she was clutching her last straw of hope.
Di Jiufeng walked closer and closer, and Ning Guangâs heart seized tighter and tighter. She practically couldnât force out any words, only feeling like her chest was crushed under a rock mountain, making her nearly suffocate to death.
âNing Guang, did Yue-shixiong cure your eyes?â
Just when Ning Guang steeled herself and resolved to confess to her Shifu, Di Jiufeng suddenly spoke. Her ice-cold fingertip softly touched Ning Guangâs eyelid, finally letting her near-suffocating body obtain relief.
Ning Guang threw herself forward to bury her face in her Shifuâs chest.
Her hands tightly embraced her Shifuâs waist like she was clutching a long-lost treasure she had finally regained. âIt wasnât Mister Yue. While Iâve been practicing cultivation these past few days, I would occasionally find that the demonic energy in my eyes could be dispersed. Itâs just that before, my cultivation level was not enough and I couldnât achieve this result.â
Her Shifu was very familiar with Yue Qingfeng. If she used him for her lie, it could be exposed anywhere and anytime.
In addition, she didnât wish to sell this favor to Yue Qingfeng. This annoying cultivator always loved to flaunt himself in front of her Shifu, if not for the fact that she wasnât a match for him right now sheâd definitely show him some color to see.
âShifu, my eyes can see now, are you going to stop taking care of me in the future?â Cautiously grasping her Shifuâs sash, Ning Guangâs voice showed a bit of urgency.
Di Jiufeng pinched the tip of her nose, warmly smiling, âHow could I stop taking care of you? Even if there wasnât a match for you in the whole cultivation world, you would still be my disciple.â
After placating her disciple, Di Jiufeng held her and went to sleep.
Lying in her Shifuâs soft embrace, Ning Guang felt her whole heart was full.
After dispatching that troublemaker Qian Sui, the next five years could be passed in peace. Other than supervising her discipleâs cultivation, Di Jiufeng practically had nothing else to do. This day, she had just tossed her disciple a sword technique manual for her to study.
ââItâs not that she wasnât up to the task, but her disciple was naturally intelligent and didnât need her to trouble herself at all. She could become a self-made genius with any old book of cheat codes.
Di Jiufeng was very worry-free, but hearing the next secondâs sound, she didnât feel very worry-free anymore.
This arrogant system, I really donât want to pay it any mind, I really want to pretend I canât hear.
âHost, host, donât you feel youâve been too idle these past few days, do you want to start a side quest?â The emotionless electronic voice sounded by her ear, making the Di Jiufeng living an elderâs life sunning herself and eating melon seeds suddenly return to her youth.
She slapped the table, throwing the shells in her hand all over the ground. âIâm sorry, the client youâre calling for is blind, she canât hear!â
The System paused, than said, deadpan, âThe blind only cannot see, host, I suspect you injured your head in a previous battle. Do you need me to do a scan?â
âGet lost! Youâre the one whoâs wrong in the head!â
But the System didnât understand her distress at all. It forged ahead, âThere is a side quest now to teach the ancient witch to hatch chicks, completion will earn one hundred fortune points. With this, you could buy the storeâs most cheap item, Third Lady Queâs dudou.â [T/N: èć (du4 dou1), a traditional Chinese undergarment which covered the chest and abdomen.]
âThanks, I donât want it, I have my own.â Di Jiufeng cold-heartedly declined the System, refusing to say another word.
The System felt the solitude of being abandoned, and couldnât resist gathering up its meagre self. âHost, are you angry with me?â
âHehe, quite self-aware.â Di Jiufeng gave it an aloof glance.
The System was at a loss of words and couldnât speak for quite a while. After a long time, it finally recovered its usual cold-hearted troublemaking, saying with a stiff electronic voice, âEverything in the System store has secret functions, Host must be sure to collect them all. Automatically initiating side quest now, please look at the quest panel.â
Pulling up the quest panel with a swish, Di Jiufeng saw the row of small characters displayed across the top.
ââLead the ancient witch down the mountain to buy eggs, teach her to hatch chicks, quest time limit twenty-five days. Completion reward 100 fortune points, failure one electric shock, countdown beginning now.

Forcing her to buy this side quest, and sheâll even be punished if she canât complete it! Di Jiufengâs eyelid twitched, she really wanted to laugh in the Systemâs face.
But, she really doesnât want to receive an electric shock!
Shaking off the shells on her clothes, Di Jiufeng hurriedly retrieved her disciple from the pear flower grove in front. Coughing once, she assumed the air of an accomplished Taoist master. âNing Guang, Shifu will take you down the mountain to buy eggs, we will start to hatch chicks today, Shifu will let you learn that life is not easily won!â
