Living with Yun Yun, on a Dark and Windy Night, Killing Too

"Changqing..."

Seeing the smile on Ji Changqing's face, Yun Yun's pretty face dimmed slightly.

The more sensible Ji Changqing acted, the more guilty she felt.

"Let's go, Master."

Yun Yun did not move, so Ji Changqing could only take her hand and lead her toward the courtyard gate.

After stepping through the courtyard gate, Ji Changqing tilted his head slightly and looked at Protector Wu.

Protector Wu seemed to sense it. His crimson eyes met Ji Changqing's gaze.

He was somewhat surprised to find that this Cloud Mist disciple he had mocked showed not the slightest anger. On the contrary, he even smiled at him.

"Heh, what a coward."

Protector Wu did not think much of it. He merely assumed Ji Changqing did not dare cause trouble and was trying to curry favor with him.

After leaving the Wicker Fence Courtyard.

Yun Yun bit her red lips with her pearly teeth and said softly, "Changqing, I'm sorry. Your master has made you suffer."

Ji Changqing paused slightly, then smiled. "You think too highly of it, Master. It's only a change of residence."

After saying that, his gaze grew calm, and he said nothing more.

Ji Changqing was now considering two things.

First, was this how the original story had developed?

In the original story, Yun Yun had never met Protector Wu.

That was right. It was because of his existence that Yun Yun had gone to the Bamboo House and encountered Protector Wu.

His appearance was like a butterfly flapping its wings, stirring up a storm across the Dou Qi Continent. Many events from the original story would change.

From now on, he needed to act even more carefully.

The second matter...

How was he going to kill Protector Wu?

Ji Changqing lowered his head slightly. A strand of hair slid down along his cheek, concealing the chilling killing intent that flashed through his eyes.

Even before, when he had yet to break through to the Dou Zong realm, he had already set his sights on Protector Wu.

Soul Hall members kept coming and going from the place where he was lying low. He truly had no sense of security.

But he had not made a breakthrough yet.

Challenging a Dou Zong across realms as a Dou Emperor did not align with his values.

Moreover, Protector Wu had been fairly quiet and had not disturbed him.

So Ji Changqing had been happy to coexist peacefully.

But today, Protector Wu had come to his door and driven him out of the Bamboo House.

He would not even let him lie low?

Then sorry.

They could only fight to the death.

"Protector Wu should be a Four-Star Dou Ancestor..."

"If I don't have absolute certainty, it'll be a hard battle. I still need to plan it carefully."

Seeing Ji Changqing's unsettled expression, Yun Yun reached out and rubbed his hair, saying gently, "Changqing, Master will make it up to you."

"It's fine, Master."

Ji Changqing looked at his beautiful, mature Master and smiled. "Oh, right, Master. I'll have to trouble you to help me find a place to stay later. Well, preferably somewhere quiet."

"Master has already found one."

More than ten minutes later.

Looking at the elegant courtyard before him, filled with flowers and plants, Ji Changqing said blankly, "Master, isn't this... where you live?"

"That's right."

Yun Yun nodded, pushed open the courtyard gate, and walked inside with graceful steps.

Standing amid the colorful flowers and plants, the smile on her face was even more beautiful than the scenery.

"You'll live with Master from now on."

"Actually, even without what happened today, I had wanted you to move in with me."

Ji Changqing froze.

Just then, a breeze happened to blow past.

It carried faint fragrance through the air, lingering around Ji Changqing's nose. He could no longer tell whether it was the scent of flowers or the scent on his Master's body.

This is bad!

My filial devotion is about to change!

Ji Changqing took a small step back and said stiffly, "Master, this... isn't that inconvenient?"

Living with Yun Yun?

Putting aside the risk of his filial devotion changing.

The difficulty of lying low, checking in, and cultivating would undoubtedly increase greatly.

"Pfft~~~"

Seeing the bashful look on Ji Changqing's face, Yun Yun arched a delicate brow and laughed.

She walked back to Ji Changqing's side and pulled him into the courtyard without allowing any argument.

"Hmph, I raised you myself. What is there to be embarrassed about?"

"You're living with me. I'd like to see who dares say anything!"

Yun Yun was very domineering.

Ji Changqing was very awkward.

The scene suddenly reminded Ji Changqing of those domineering CEO novels he had read in his previous life.

No!

Yun Yun is the domineering CEO...

Then what am I?

Damn it, I've become the "delicate wife"!

No, no!

Since Yun Yun was being so open about it, Ji Changqing stopped acting awkwardly as well. His mindset changed quickly.

"Master, which room will I be living in exactly?"

He would live here, then!

Who was afraid of whom?

At worst, he would just set up a couple more formations whenever he cultivated.

"Changqing, would it be all right if you stayed there?"

Yun Yun's fair, slender finger pointed toward the most exquisite house beside the main residence.

"You can go in and take a look."

Ji Changqing followed Yun Yun into the room.

It was clean and tidy, with every necessary furnishing in place. The pale blue bedding on the bed carried the scent of sunlight.

Seeing this, Ji Changqing knew that Yun Yun had truly wanted him to move in long ago.

"Thank you for the trouble, Master."

Ji Changqing was deeply moved.

From the time he was eleven until now, whether it was food, clothing, shelter, travel, cultivation, or martial training, Yun Yun had never neglected him in the slightest. Instead, she had always feared that he might suffer any hardship.

Ji Changqing treasured such kindness deeply.

"Why are you still being polite with me?"

Yun Yun smiled and rubbed Ji Changqing's head.

But when she raised her arm, she suddenly realized in surprise that the child who had once clung to her leg, terrified of everything around him, had already grown taller than her.

Ruffling Ji Changqing's hair was a habit of hers, but how had she never noticed that Changqing had grown up?

A trace of daze passed through Yun Yun's clear eyes.

She withdrew her slender hand and looked around the room.

"I'll see if anything is still missing and bring it over later."

"Thank you, Master."

Ji Changqing took all his belongings out of his Storage Ring.

After Master and disciple spent some time tidying up, the sky had already begun to darken.

Ji Changqing watched Yun Yun return to the adjacent room. A dim yellow candlelight slowly lit up, casting her graceful silhouette onto the window paper.

Ji Changqing closed the door and sat cross-legged on the bed.

His breathing gradually steadied, and his vast soul power spread outward like a tide. Above his head hovered those familiar words—[Ordinary Is the Truth].

The room was so quiet that a falling needle could be heard.

An hour later, the candlelight in Yun Yun's room went out.

Ji Changqing slowly opened his eyes on the bed, a flash of spiritual light flickering through them.

This meant his condition had reached its peak.

Ji Changqing flicked his sleeve.

Three hundred and sixty Formation Flags vanished throughout the room.

As long as anyone approached the house, he would sense it.

Ji Changqing did not act immediately. Instead, he sat cross-legged on the bed and took several deep breaths in succession.

His faintly tense emotions gradually settled.

His pair of dark eyes became ever sharper.

He might lie low.

But since he had decided to fight his opponent.

Then once his preparations were complete, he had to act decisively.

Otherwise, the longer the night dragged on, the more likely unforeseen complications would arise.

This was also the way of lying low.

Sensing Yun Yun's breathing in the neighboring room become steady.

Inside the room, the candlelight suddenly went out, and Ji Changqing's figure disappeared.

Tonight.

The moon was dark and the wind was fierce.

Not fit for travel, but fit for killing.
