This Little Cultivator's Temperament Was No Good

This Little Cultivator's Temperament Was No Good. Hugging the spirit plants, it toddled over to a sapling and planted them nearby.

The sapling emitted a green glow. Lingxi could not help but look at it a few more times. It was growing so fast—just a few days ago, it had only been a seed.

But it liked this sapling's aura very much. It felt as though endless vitality and spiritual power lingered around it.

It felt that staying beside this spirit plant would let it grow faster in the future. Perhaps it would be all grown up very soon.

After planting the Yellow Spirit Fruit sapling, it immediately went off to tend to the other spirit plants.

What a fulfilling life, Lingxi thought happily. When it saw the ball of light curled up on the vine, it immediately ran over.

Jiang Lu had no idea what the diligent little ginseng inside the space was thinking. Right now, she was watching the drama unfold. Nothing was more entertaining than watching a show live.

"Waaah, Eldest Senior Sister, I know you don't like me, but why did you push me? You clearly knew my strength wasn't high."

"Waaah..."

Liu Qingqing lay in Xi Siyu's arms, her face pale as two streams of clear tears rolled down her cheeks.

Her tone was full of accusation.

"Little Junior Sister, what do you mean by that? We aren't in the dense forest anymore—we've already entered the Illusory Forest. Besides, the Demon-Eyed Wolf over there was a third-rank demon beast. Didn't I tell you all to hide to the side and not interfere?"

"But what about you? What were you trying to do, stepping forward so presumptuously? The other disciples were fighting, and they still had to divide their attention to look after you?"

"If I hadn't pushed you away just now, would you still be standing here talking to me?"

No matter how good Fu Yao's temper was, this fool was enough to anger her to death.

If she wanted to draw attention, there was no need to do it like this. Several disciples had been injured because of her reckless actions.

They had been fighting perfectly well just now and were only a little away from killing the Demon-Eyed Wolf. Yet Little Junior Sister insisted on sticking her foot into the matter. Because she suddenly appeared, several disciples failed to rein in their spiritual power and accidentally injured one another. They were now lying on the ground tending to their wounds.

And what about her?

Charging over suddenly would have been one thing, but she had only made things worse!

Fortunately, they had joined forces to defeat the Demon-Eyed Wolf. Otherwise, those disciples would all have fallen here.

If Master had not told them to take good care of her, Fu Yao would have thrown her straight into the forbidden grounds.

"Eldest Senior Sister, Little Junior Sister didn't do it on purpose. Don't scold him anymore."

Xi Siyu looked at his puffed-up Eldest Senior Sister, his tone pleading.

Waaah...

Why did it have to be him?!

Second Senior Brother only knew how to watch the show from the side!

Lu Lingfeng sensed Xi Siyu's resentful gaze and immediately turned his head away. A bet was a bet, and whoever lost had agreed to stand firmly on Little Junior Sister's side.

They truly had liked this delicate, soft Little Junior Sister before. She was cute, talented, and spoke sweetly.

But they simply could not accept that brain of hers, stupid as a pig!

It would have been fine if she were stupid but obedient. Unfortunately, she was disobedient. Yet she carried great fortune, which was why Master had instructed them to put Little Junior Sister first in all things. It would bring them no harm, only benefits, and perhaps they might even gain something unexpected.

They truly had gained things. If she did not stir up trouble, everything went quite smoothly.

But every time Little Junior Sister obtained an opportunity herself, she still had to stir up trouble and find herself more problems. They truly could not understand it. What was she after?

In short, no words could describe how exhausting it was.

Only a few of their direct disciples knew these matters, and they had not revealed them to outsiders.

That was why rumors outside claimed that they doted on Little Junior Sister as if their lives depended on it, yet they could not even explain themselves.

Fu Yao looked at her stubborn face and clenched her fists.

Hold it in!

Hold it in!

Then she turned her head away and looked to the side.

"Third Senior Brother~"

Liu Qingqing's hesitant voice rang out again, tears shimmering in her eyes.

Xi Siyu was somewhat helpless and immediately said softly,

"Little Junior Sister, we aren't blaming you. We're only worried that you'll get hurt."

"Second Senior Brother, don't you agree?"

Xi Siyu looked at Lu Lingfeng. Hmph, even if he had lost, he could not be the only one suffering through this. He could not afford to provoke Eldest Senior Sister, but could he not provoke Second Senior Brother?

Lu Lingfeng: ...

What a headache.

Seeing Liu Qingqing raise her eyes to look at him, he smiled awkwardly and hurriedly nodded.

"That's right, Little Junior Sister. Aren't we only afraid that you'll get hurt?"

Then he crouched down, leaned close to her ear, and whispered, "When we return, tell Master whatever you want. He'll give it all to you."

All the disciples: Did he think they couldn't hear him just because he spoke so quietly? They had Divine Sense!

Then they all turned to look at Fu Yao. Eldest Senior Sister, please do something about them!

Fu Yao met everyone's gaze and helplessly rubbed her forehead.

Sometimes, keeping a secret was quite miserable. Then, with dissatisfaction in her voice, she said,

"Second Junior Brother, Third Junior Brother, keep Little Junior Sister under control. If this happens again, all three of you will spend some time in the forbidden grounds together!"

Lu Lingfeng: ...

Xi Siyu: ...

What did it have to do with them?!

They then shot Fu Yao displeased looks before turning to Liu Qingqing, their eyes full of pleading.

Under her sleeves, Liu Qingqing clenched her hands tightly, her nails nearly sinking into her flesh.

Why couldn't Eldest Senior Sister listen to her and follow her script properly?

Second Senior Brother and Third Senior Brother were standing on her side, yet Fu Yao scolded them. She was clearly doing it on purpose. If she had the ability, she should come at her instead!

When they returned, she would definitely cry her grievances before Master. Last time, Eldest Senior Sister had been punished and sent out to train, but Liu Qingqing had let her off. This time, she definitely would not let Fu Yao have it so easy.

"Senior Brothers, I... I was the one who dragged you down."

Liu Qingqing lowered her eyes, wiped away the tears on her face, and spoke softly to the two of them. Then she slowly rose to her feet and obediently walked to the side.

Fu Yao glanced at her and said nothing more.

After putting away the Demon-Eyed Wolf on the ground, she told everyone to search around for any spirit plants.

A third-rank demon beast would generally have a corresponding guardian spirit plant.

Sure enough, they soon found several spirit plants.

Only after Jiang Lu saw them leave did she smack her lips in lingering dissatisfaction.

Then she began searching the surrounding area.

The Crimson Reed Domain was covered in dense forests, with spiritual herbs carpeting the ground. Accordingly, demon beasts and Spirit Beasts roamed everywhere.

Most Spirit Beasts were gentle and not as dangerous as those in other domains. Many cultivators came here to capture Spirit Beasts and sell them for cultivators to form contracts with.

Jiang Lu vaguely had a feeling that this training trip—or rather, this scavenging expedition—meant she could not leave on her own whim. She would gain something unexpected.

But after searching for a while, she discovered nothing.

She scratched her head. Had she been overthinking it?

The elder hidden in the shadows saw Jiang Lu emerge from hiding again, intending to pick up leftovers, and shook his head helplessly. This little cultivator's temperament was no good.

Since she would not find anything valuable anyway, they gradually paid less attention to her.

Just as she was about to leave, she suddenly heard two squeaks. Her footsteps halted, and she looked toward the source of the sound. A tiny fiery-red mouse was digging something out of the earth.

If you can't find the book by searching its title, try searching for the author instead—perhaps it was simply renamed!
