I'm Afraid I'm Going to Get Beaten

Chapter 9: I'm Afraid I'm Going to Get Beaten

True Lord Leng Feng's mouth was covered by his daughter's soft little hand, and his heart melted even further. The tender affection of a father was on full display.

He nodded repeatedly, coaxing her.

"Wuwu, Dad won't say anymore. Come, let's go see who that old guy from the Myriad Pill Sect brought with him."

[After you became a demon, you led demonic cultivators to slaughter all the disciples of the Myriad Pill Sect and ordered a ten-thousand-year pursuit of all their disciples.

Lu Zhiyi, the pride of the Myriad Pill Sect, a newly emerged genius alchemist, loved you but could not have you. Tormented by the destruction of his sect, he forcibly consumed pills to burn his life and boost his cultivation, challenging you solely for the purpose of seeking death.]

[Whitewashing Mission: Defeat him, spare his life, and revoke the ten-thousand-year pursuit order against the Myriad Pill Sect disciples.

Mission Reward: Tenfold Comprehension in Alchemy!]

Jiang Wan clicked her tongue. Honestly, was this really something she would do?

A deeply tragic romance was arranged for her, and that Lu Zhiyi, what was going on? A demonic cultivator destroyed his sect, and he couldn't have the demonic cultivator he loved, so he sought death at their hands.

Zi tutted.

Sigh, wait a minute, she had to defeat him soon, right?

She hoped the other party wasn't older than three years old right now, otherwise, it would be hard for her to make a move. Mainly, she was afraid she couldn't win.

She was brought to the guest reception area on the upper peak. Jiang Wan immediately saw a middle-aged man wearing black and white alchemist robes. A child was following him.

Honestly, the kid looked older than her.

"True Lord Yanlu, this child beside you, he wouldn't be your newly accepted disciple, would he? I haven't heard you mention him before."

True Lord Yanlu smiled and kicked the child beside him forward. The little boy stumbled and almost fell.

The child, dressed in black and white Daoist robes, blushed. He clenched his small fists in front of his chest and said in a childish voice:

"Junior Lu Zhiyi greets Sect Master Leng Feng and Junior Sister."

True Lord Leng Feng put Jiang Wan down on the ground.

"This little girl of mine is Jiang Wan. You two seem to be around the same age. Here's a meeting gift. You two go play together!"

As he spoke, he took out a talisman and handed it to the child Lu Zhiyi. The child turned to look at his master.

Seeing his master nod, he then reached out and took the talisman, thanking him.

"Thank you, True Lord Leng Feng!"

Seeing this, True Lord Yanlu also took out a pill furnace and flew it in front of Jiang Wan.

"This is a pill cauldron I brought from an ancient cave dwelling. It has a Vermillion Bird totem and is suitable for young ladies to use."

True Lord Leng Feng frowned slightly. Seeing his little daughter looking at him, he nodded.

"True Lord Yanlu is giving it to you. Take it and go play with Zhiyi!"

Jiang Wan felt that the atmosphere between her father and this Sect Master of the Myriad Pill Sect was strange, not as harmonious as the atmosphere with the Sect Master of the Myriad Sword Sect.

"Okay, Daddy, I'll take Senior Brother Lu out to play! I'll take good care of Senior Brother Lu."

After speaking, she took the hand of the child Lu Zhiyi and ran out.

I need to find a place where no one is around. For the sake of the mission reward, I'll make him suffer a little, and I'll bear the infamy.

It was the first time the child Lu Zhiyi had his hand held by someone. He ran happily and freely.

A pure smile unique to children gradually appeared on his face.

"Junior Sister Wanwan, where are we going?"

Jiang Wan, with her short legs, ran while looking around.

"Of course, we're looking for a place to make a move where no one is around."

The two ran to a pear blossom forest. The white pear blossoms fluttered down, like a snowfall.

Jiang Wan froze as soon as she entered. "Wow, it's so beautiful here!"

The child Lu Zhiyi's eyes widened. He looked at the beautiful scenery in front of him in surprise, then a slap landed on his face. Then, his vision went black, and he fainted.

Zixiang, who was following in the shadows to protect her, was completely petrified when she saw her little junior sister suddenly attack.

Was this still the cute, adorable, and well-behaved little junior sister she had been holding just now?

Jiang Wan looked around to make sure no one was there, and quickly helped up the tool-man child Lu Zhiyi.

"Little brother, little brother, are you okay? Wake up quickly, don't die! As long as you wake up, I'll lift the ten-thousand-year pursuit order for your Myriad Pill Sect."

As soon as she finished speaking, the child Lu Zhiyi slowly opened his eyes. His big eyes were full of confusion and bewilderment. What had just happened? Why did he faint?

"I just?"

"You hit me?"

Jiang Wan lowered her head, feeling guilty.

"I wanted to spar with you to see who was stronger. I didn't expect you to be so weak; you fainted after just one hit."

Weak, weak?

Little Lu Zhiyi looked at her with a sad expression, a bit hurt. Fine, he admitted he was weak.

"I'll become very strong in the future. But I can refine pills. Look, this is a Qi Nurturing Pill I refined myself. Here, for you!"

Jiang Wan looked at the pill bottle he handed over in surprise.

"How old are you? You can already refine pills?"

Lu Zhiyi blushed and said shyly:

"I'm five years old. I started learning to refine pills right when I reached Qi Refining Layer Three.

Oh, right, I also have candy I made myself. Have some too."

Jiang Wan took the Qi Nurturing Pill and the candy from his hand.

"You really aren't a three-year-old child.

You can refine pills at five years old, what kind of genius are you?

Promise me you'll live well from now on. We'll grow up together and cultivate into powerful experts!"

Lu Zhiyi looked at her with sparkling eyes and asked, "Together?"

Jiang Wan nodded, "Yes, together.

You grow up in your sect, and I grow up in my sect. Isn't that growing up together?"

Little Lu Zhiyi tilted his head and thought.

"That seems right too. Okay, I promise I'll live well and grow up with you. We'll cultivate into powerful experts together!"

[The whitewashing progress has taken another huge step, successfully lifting the Myriad Pill Sect's hundred-thousand-year pursuit order.

Lu Zhiyi joined the sect at three years old and grew up under his master's extremely strict demands, being beaten for the slightest inadequacy.

He fell in love with you, who defied convention, and was almost led into the Demonic Dao. This time, he had already resigned himself to death. You gave him the confidence and courage to live.

Mission complete, Reward: Tenfold Comprehension in Alchemy.]

Just having Tenfold Comprehension in Alchemy was pretty good. Seeing him clench his little fist, Jiang Wan also clenched her fist and lightly punched his.

"Crack!"

Little Lu Zhiyi let out a muffled groan:

"Mmm!"

Jiang Wan froze. Huh? She hadn't used much strength. How did she break his wrist? Oh no, this was bad.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Does it hurt? It must hurt a lot, right? I didn't mean to, I didn't expect this. What do I do, what do I do?"

Little Lu Zhiyi's entire small face was pale with pain. Seeing her distress, he reached out his other hand to comfort her.

"Junior Sister Wanwan, it's okay. It doesn't hurt much. I can endure it."

Jiang Wan: What is this little brat saying? Such a young child, who told him to endure?

Zixiang, who was protecting them from the shadows, noticed something was wrong and immediately came to investigate.

Upon seeing his junior sister had broken the other child's hand, Zixiang inwardly gasped and quickly thought of a solution.

Just as he was about to use spiritual energy to heal the injury, two True Lords arrived outside Pear Blossom Courtyard.

Jiang Wan: It's over. I'm going to get beaten!
