Ye Guyi: Having Two Silly Roe Deer-Like Senior Sisters Is Really Exhausting

The Angel Legion's garrison was located on the eastern side of Spirit Hall, occupying an independent courtyard.

The Angel Legion's emblem was carved into the grayish-white stone walls.

A holy sword crossed over six spread wings, gleaming faintly gold beneath the sunlight.

When the seven children followed Qian Daoliu into the courtyard, they ran straight into a middle-aged man clad in silver-white armor.

His face was resolute, and the Angel Legion emblem was embroidered over his left chest. He was visibly stunned when he saw Qian Daoliu and hurriedly bowed. "Great Enshriner!"

"Father!"

Ye Guyi poked half her head out from behind him and called out brightly.

Ye Qing, a squadron captain of the Angel Legion, was a Soul Saint and Ye Guyi's father.

He saw his daughter following behind Qian Daoliu, then swept his gaze over the children beside her.

All of the Pope's disciples had come.

His expression shifted from surprise to confusion. "Great Enshriner, this is...?"

Qian Daoliu waved a hand. "I'm finding something for these little brats to do. Does your legion have any recent missions involving the cleanup of Fallen Soul Masters? The difficulty doesn't need to be high—just something suitable for them to gain experience."

Ye Qing froze for a moment. His gaze swept across the seven children, and when he noticed the bloody greatsword on Luo Jiuyou's back, his pupils contracted almost imperceptibly.

He lowered his head, flipped through the mission booklet he carried with him, and pulled out a sheet of parchment.

"There is one. Several towns to the west have recently seen frequent cases of missing people. Preliminary judgment suggests that a group of Fallen Soul Masters is abducting them.

"Following the clues, the group may be entrenched around Withered Wood Town, three days away from here."

"How large is the group?"

"Intelligence indicates that at least two Soul Ancestor-level Fallen Soul Masters are leading them, with more than a dozen subordinates. Their exact strength is unknown, but they should not exceed the Soul King level."

Ye Qing paused.

"We originally planned to send a legion squad to wipe them out. If the Great Enshriner is willing to take them, I can make adjustments on my end."

Qian Daoliu took the parchment and glanced over it. "Are the location and intelligence clearly written?"

"They are."

Qian Daoliu nodded, glanced at Luo Jiuyou, then looked at Bibi Dong, Qian Renxue, and the others. "Do you want to take this mission?"

Bibi Dong was the first to raise her hand. "We'll take it!!"

Qian Renxue pressed down her hand. "Don't agree so quickly. We need to look at the intelligence first."

Ye Guyi leaned over to glance at the information on the parchment and spoke softly.

"Missing people... abduction... This mission really is suitable for us. If it's just a cleanup operation, we have enough people, and it won't be too dangerous."

Na'er mumbled, "We're catching bad guys, right? Sure!"

Zi JI and Bi Ji said nothing, but neither objected.

Luo Jiuyou looked at the mission summary, fell silent for a moment, then nodded. "Alright."

Qian Daoliu put away the parchment. "Then it's settled. You've accepted the mission. Decide the departure time yourselves, but set out early tomorrow morning. I'll follow you, but if it's something you can handle yourselves, I won't intervene."

"Understood!" Seven voices rang out in unison.

That night, Bibi Dong paced back and forth around the room like a silly roe deer that simply could not sit still.

Qian Renxue got a headache from watching her circle around and directly shoved her hand against Bibi Dong's head to give her a scolding.

After being scolded, Bibi Dong felt humiliated. The moment Qian Renxue turned around, she suddenly pounced on her.

The two tangled into a ball again, pinching and tugging at each other as they rolled from the bedside to the floor, then from the floor back onto the bed.

Ye Guyi lay on the bunk beside them, eyes closed as she endured it for quite a while.

Her brow furrowed tighter and tighter, and the veins on her forehead throbbed.

Finally, she opened her eyes, took a deep breath, and walked over, trying to pull them apart.

"Senior Sisters, we still have to travel tomorrow. It's time to rest."

Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue were in the middle of having fun and ignored her completely.

Instead, as they got more excited, they directly dragged her in and rolled around with her.

They even messed up Ye Guyi's hair.

Ye Guyi slowly clenched her fists, and the smile on her face began to turn dangerous.

She said "It's time to rest" three times in a row, but the two still rolled about on her bunk.

Ye Guyi: "..."

Her fists hardened.

The next second, two fists came down on Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue's heads at the same time. Two solid thumps rang out.

The two immediately clutched their heads and curled into balls, each with a round bump swelling atop her head.

Ye Guyi narrowed her eyes, wearing an exceedingly gentle smile. Her tone was soft, as though coaxing children to sleep. "Can you rest properly now?"

Bibi Dong clutched the bump on her forehead, tears nearly spilling from her eyes as she nodded repeatedly. "Got it, got it..."

Qian Renxue also held her bump and curled beneath the blanket, her voice muffled. "Third Junior Sister, we know we were wrong..."

Seeing how obedient they looked, Ye Guyi finally unclenched her fists, returned to her bunk, lay down, and closed her eyes.

But having two senior sisters like silly roe deer really was exhausting.

Early the next morning, the seven children gathered at Spirit Hall's side gate with simple packs on their backs.

But Luo Jiuyou's expression was extremely strange.

He looked at Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue's resentful faces, his gaze landing on their foreheads.

Each had a red, round mark, as though something hard had struck them.

If he remembered correctly, the three senior sisters had rested together last night.

"Eldest Senior Sister, Second Senior Sister, why do you have bumps on your heads?"

Na'er skipped over to Luo Jiuyou's side. When she suddenly caught sight of Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue's foreheads, she curiously asked about them.

Bibi Dong's mouth twitched. She touched the red mark on her forehead.

"...Nothing. I bumped into something."

Qian Renxue turned her face away. "The bedframe was too hard. I hit it."

Na'er blinked. "Both of you hit it? What a coincidence."

Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue choked at the same time. Neither answered.

Ye Guyi smiled slightly. "That's right, Little Junior Sister. I saw them bump into it with my own eyes."

Qian Renxue: "..."

Bibi Dong: "..."

You were obviously the one who hit us, alright?!

Why were your tiny fists so hard? It hurt so much when they came down!

The two exchanged a glance. Looking at their smiling Third Junior Sister, their hearts trembled.

Third Junior Sister was terrifying, absolutely terrifying!

Luo Jiuyou glanced at the smiling Ye Guyi, then at his resentful senior sisters, but did not expose anything.

For gentle Ye Guyi to act like this...

One could imagine what those two troublesome senior sisters had done last night.

Ye Guyi walked to the middle of the group and revealed a gentle smile. "Alright, let's go."

Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue both shuddered and hurriedly stepped forward, walking faster than anyone else.

Zi JI and Bi Ji exchanged a glance. Bi Ji lowered her head, and her shoulders trembled slightly.

Na'er tilted her head in thought, a piece of candy in her mouth, then mumbled indistinctly.

"Eldest Senior Sister and Second Senior Sister seem really scared of Third Senior Sister..."

"Don't talk nonsense." Qian Renxue interrupted without looking back.

"I'm not talking nonsense..."

Bibi Dong reached out and covered Na'er's mouth. "Let's go, let's go! We need to get moving! Grandpa Qian is waiting for us."

Qian Daoliu was already standing at the gate. He had changed into an ordinary gray robe, his aura completely concealed, making him look like nothing more than an ordinary elderly companion.

He glanced at the chattering children, the corners of his mouth lifting slightly. "Let's go."

Withered Wood Town lay northwest of Spirit City, roughly three days away. Qian Daoliu did not take them flying and instead had them travel on foot.

On one hand, it would temper their bodies; on the other, it would make the journey itself part of their training.

After leaving Spirit City's territory, Qian Daoliu's figure gradually faded from their sight.

Though he said he would "follow," he would not stay too close.

He would only act when a genuine threat appeared.

"Is Grandpa Qian really nearby?" Na'er asked after walking for half an hour and looking back several times.

"He is."

Ye Guyi's tone was certain.

Qian Renxue walked at the very front.

Bibi Dong skipped along behind her, her steps as light as a sparrow whenever her toes touched the ground.

Luo Jiuyou walked in the middle of the group, the bloody greatsword still strapped to his back as usual.

They encountered nothing unusual on the first day and made camp to rest beside a small stream at dusk.

Bibi Dong tried to start a fire but failed three times. Qian Renxue laughed at her on the spot, and the two started squabbling again.

But when Ye Guyi smiled faintly at them.

The two silly roe deer-like senior sisters finally settled down.

On the afternoon of the second day, they passed through an abandoned village.

There was not a soul in the village. The houses were dilapidated, and some walls still bore dark brown stains.

Luo Jiuyou stopped and glanced at those stains. "Blood."

Bibi Dong moved closer to inspect them. "It's old. At least half a month."

Qian Renxue took a look.

"There's also residual Soul Power... Someone fought here recently, and whoever acted was at least a Soul Ancestor."

Ye Guyi swept her gaze around the village. "How far are we from Withered Wood Town?"

"By our pace, we'll arrive around noon tomorrow."

Luo Jiuyou raised his head and looked ahead. "This village may be connected to the group we're supposed to wipe out."

Zi JI spoke. "If they have already made a move here, the situation around Withered Wood Town may be more complicated than the intelligence suggests."

"Then let's move faster."

Luo Jiuyou started forward again. "We'll talk once we reach Withered Wood Town."

The group continued along the dirt road.

Qian Daoliu stood atop the canopy of an ancient tree in the distance, watching the seven figures vanish at the end of the dust-covered road. He shook his head.

"They've got nerve, but... not bad."
