The Cub Who Inverted the Heavenly Dipper

When you walk by the river often, you're bound to get your shoes wet.

I knew this principle well. I sat unmoving by my workstation window, propping my chin with my small hand, my eyes sparkling as I leisurely watched Zhuge Yun.

"We are not responsible once you leave the counter."

This was the first time Zhuge Yun had ever hated a sentence so much.

Her voice was soft and cute, and usually, hearing it made one feel like a pushover. But right now, it carried a distinctly annoying tone.

I never once thought Zhuge Yun would come looking for trouble with me.

Do you even understand the value of being a compiler?

The members of the Law Enforcement Hall cared more about rules. "Greetings, Senior Sister Ye Xiaoyao."

Their business-like demeanor brought an even bigger smile to my eyes.

Everyone was waiting for Zhuge Yun's next move.

He declared with conviction, "Ye Xiaoyao, you've caused me to be unable to break through for over a year. It's time we settled this old score."

He truly had no evidence, but he could just guess that Ye Xiaoyao was behind it.

Only this little vixen had the opportunity to tamper with things.

Just you wait—

Then, he.

With a look of certainty, he poured out a small black pill.

As soon as the pill appeared in the air, the surrounding spiritual energy became many times denser.

This effect was clearly real.

"Wh-what... is happening?" Zhuge Yun's expression stiffened.

This Spirit Nurturing Pill clearly had no issues.

The spiritual energy was abundant.

He gritted his teeth fiercely, as if struck by a sudden thought, and revealed a look of sudden enlightenment. "Oh, I know. It must be that this pill was tampered with. You can't tell anything is wrong from the outside."

The Law Enforcement Hall members, already a bit impatient, regained their patience upon hearing this.

I pursed my lips, still propping my chin.

I'm not stupid, you know.

Everyone understands the principle of a cunning rabbit having three burrows.

This time, I didn't tamper with his Spirit Nurturing Pill. I just added a little of my Ye Xiaoyao's exclusive secret formula to his Spirit Water. I guarantee the taste is the most delicious in the world. Everyone who drinks it says they can't stop.

If you keep adding fake ingredients to someone's pills, anyone would get suspicious, right? If you do it repeatedly, you'll definitely be suspected of the source of the problem. But if you change things up every month, it's different. The probability of being discovered drops significantly. Even if they know, they can attribute it to other reasons.

Zhuge Yun's eyes were filled with fierce light, as if he wanted to devour me on the spot. He crushed the pill, and a large mass of spiritual energy spread out.

Zhuge Yun froze.

There wasn't the slightest impurity.

The faces of the Law Enforcement Hall members completely changed.

"Do you need me to check anything else?" I asked again, repeating the standard phrase that made Zhuge Yun's teeth itch, sounding like a very enthusiastic staff member. "Don't forget, we are not responsible once you leave the counter."

Damn it! Zhuge Yun cursed inwardly. He then crushed two more Spirit Nurturing Pills, and large masses of spiritual energy exploded in the air repeatedly.

"There are no problems."

"There are no problems at all."

He muttered to himself in despair, "I don't believe it. I don't believe the little vixen didn't tamper with it. How could I, with my talent, fail to break through for a whole year?"

"Yes, it's her. It's all her fault."

"It must be her fault."

Until, he crushed all the pills.

Zhuge Yun's eyes widened in disbelief, and he gradually collapsed onto the ground.

His confident declaration just moments ago seemed to have turned into a joke.

"Are there any other questions?" I asked playfully.

Zhuge Yun's heart turned to ash. He could only answer truthfully, "No."

I chuckled and clapped my hands. "Then what are you waiting for? Take this disciple away. He directly addressed this Direct Disciple by name, repeatedly insulted me loudly, and framed me repeatedly. According to the rules of Heavenly Sword Peak, how should he be punished?"

The enforcement officer replied honestly, "Half a month of confinement, and one hundred lashes."

I smiled with satisfaction.

Zhuge Yun was lifted up by people on either side.

The person who had constantly slandered me in the past was now like a dead dog, being dragged away disgracefully by the members of the Law Enforcement Hall.

I, for one, felt incredibly satisfied.

Suddenly, he seemed to have figured everything out.

His gaze, like a cold, venomous snake, fixed on me menacingly from afar.

His silently moving lips conveyed words.

"Hahaha."

"I finally know, you didn't cheat this time, did you."

"This matter isn't over, we'll see. You dared to scheme against me, you little b*tch. Zhuge Yun and I are not done."

A rustling sound echoed, and a slender figure in a blue Immortal Skirt appeared ahead.

"Greetings, Senior Sister Ye Qingxian."

"Greetings, Eldest Senior Sister."

The two Law Enforcement Hall members, under Ye Qingxian's jurisdiction, immediately bowed respectfully.

"Punish her with the whip, with the heaviest penalty," Ye Qingxian's red lips moved slightly, her gaze icy, her demeanor as proud and aloof as a snow lotus on Mount Tian. "And inform everyone, as a warning."

"Understood."

I slowly turned my gaze toward her.

It seemed after my falling out with the Female Protagonist last time, she had become less gentle with others.

I can't break character.

As the young woman gradually approached, a faint scent of fragrance wafted over.

My eyes met Ye Qingxian's across the air.

Leaves swirled in the sky, and a gentle breeze swept across the ground.

The young woman's beauty was as captivating as ever.

We didn't exchange any words.

It was silent and still.

I suddenly slumped down in dejection.

I didn't want to talk to the Female Protagonist, was she holding a grudge against me already?

"Did Zhuge Yun bully you?"

Ye Qingxian's voice was pleasant, clear and melodious like a babbling spring, making one feel as if bathed in a warm breeze.

Her words didn't sound like a question, but more like a statement directed at herself.

"Hm? What is it?" I looked up and saw Ye Qingxian's calm gaze. In my perception, it was quite cold. Knowing this was her professional attitude, I simply put on a stern face too, my legs beneath me tensing slightly.

Ye Qingxian looked at her Junior Sister's feigned seriousness. No matter how serious the little loli tried to be, she was still adorable. Finding it immensely amusing, she suddenly felt like teasing her. "What is it? If you don't listen to my reasoning, I won't listen to yours either."

"Where on Heavenly Sword Peak can I not go?"

I was choked into silence.

That sentence was like a boomerang, hitting me right between the eyes.

Some things, if you don't say them out loud to yourself, you don't realize how infuriating they are.

I simply continued to lie down, ignoring her.

Let her be infuriated. It would be great if the Female Protagonist ignored me.

Ye Qingxian had come out today specifically to see me.

Seeing that I remained silent again, Ye Qingxian, with her ethereal aura, walked barefoot in the world, drawing closer to me. The fragrance wafted, her entire being unstained by even a speck of dust.

"You-- What are you doing?" Seeing her getting closer, I felt a bit agitated.

What did this woman want?

Concerned for my own life, I easily became defensive and jumped up. As a result, I stepped on a rat below and almost fell on my backside.

Ye Qingxian stood outside the window and directly grabbed my arm.

After I finally managed to steady myself, I had already complained endlessly in my heart.

Cub.

You, you, you--

Can't you cause your mother less trouble?

This is simply turning things upside down, you deserve a spanking!!!

Ye Qingxian's gaze settled on one spot, and she said with a hint of teasing, "This big rat that died young, it must be part of the sect's allocated resources, to be evenly distributed among everyone in the sect."

I gently closed my lips, turning my head away awkwardly.

I knew I shouldn't interact too much with the Female Protagonist.

Why did my brain have to be so smart?

I gritted my teeth, refusing to admit it, "I can sue you for defamation if there's no evidence."

Ye Qingxian didn't dwell on the matter for long, or rather, she didn't care what others were fed; it was all retribution for their own actions.

She changed the subject so quickly, it made me very uncomfortable.

"Junior Sister, how long has it been since you called me 'Senior Sister'?"

Seeing her staring intently at me, I glared back, unwilling to back down.

Staring at me? You think your eyes are big, huh?

I don't believe you have bigger eyes than me.

After a moment, I gradually lost the battle. I might lose the stare-down, but not my spirit. Stubbornly, I blurted out, "You're meddling too much. I'm not calling you anything."

"I've already broken ties with you. If I still call you Senior Sister, wouldn't that be shameless of me?"

Ye Qingxian nodded, deep in thought. "So... this is what breaking ties feels like."

"To think that I, Ye Qingxian, did nothing wrong, yet inexplicably lost a Junior Sister. It truly feels like the impermanence of life, being unfairly burdened with a great responsibility for the future for no reason."

I knew I was in the wrong, But who am I, Ye Xiaoyao? A Great Demon King!

Since I was already being unreasonable, I might as well go all the way and talk nonsense.

"What does it have to do with me that you don't have a Junior Sister? I've never had a Junior Sister myself."

"Move aside, I'm ready to clock out."

Hurriedly shutting down the formation near my workstation, I didn't want to admit that the pressure from the Female Protagonist was too much, making me flee in a bit of a panic.

No, no, this woman is too strange. I have no idea what she's trying to do. I must avoid her from now on and absolutely not give her a chance to speak to me.

I truly don't want her to guess the color of my panties.

In this Cultivation World, I pride myself on not having a low IQ.

However, Ye Qingxian is the only one who has ever pushed my brain capacity to the brink of crashing. With her many inexplicable actions, you might think a simple conversation would be fine, but then a casual remark would allow her to achieve her goal.

It's truly bizarre.

A Female Protagonist who isn't throwing a tantrum shouldn't be this difficult to deal with, right?

At this moment, I suddenly found myself inexplicably looking forward to the Female Protagonist's future tantrums. A love-struck fool who doesn't reason with others and has a slightly lower IQ might be easier to handle.
