Wear A Book And Hug Your Apprentice’S Thigh Tightly Chapter 9
by9 Chapter 9
Li Yuan absolutely cannot be a weakling!
The strength of Li Luan and Bai Wang was not to be underestimated, and for a time, the outcome was hard to determine.
But Chun Yu didn’t know who she should help now. If she helped Bai Wang kill Wan Qianqian, Bai Wang might not spare the Bai Xi clan. But if she helped Wan Qianqian, would Wan Qianqian spare her, Chang Le, and Li Yuan? That was also hard to say.
Chun Yu helplessly asked Li Yuan, “Student Li, what do you think we should do?”
Li Yuan knew Chun Yu was asking who they should help. She said, “Help the Sect Leader.”
Chun Yu asked, “Why?”
Li Yuan replied, “I don’t know. Just a hunch.”
Chun Yu immediately widened her eyes at her. “No, we only have one life, are you sure you want to gamble like this?”
Li Yuan looked at Chun Yu and said, “Don’t worry, I will protect you even if it costs me my life.”
Chun Yu’s old face instantly flushed. “…You don’t have to, alright! Anyway, there’s no better option.”
Chun Yu turned to Chang Le and said, “Let’s go help the Sect Leader!”
Chang Le said, “Okay!”
In the silent sky, dark clouds gathered, swords flashed, and spells roared.
Li Yuan asked Bai Xi, “Do you know any spells?”
Bai Xi replied, “My spellcasting isn’t high.”
Li Yuan said, “Just enough to carry me in flight.”
Bai Xi didn’t know what Li Yuan intended to do, but seeing that this girl had just managed to catch a magic artifact barehanded, she was clearly formidable.
Bai Xi said, “Alright.”
Bai Xi wrapped her arms around Li Yuan’s waist and joined the battle.
Chun Yu was fighting fiercely with the two Shi clan siblings when she turned and saw Bai Xi flying over with Li Yuan.
She worriedly called out, “Li Yuan, you don’t know spells, hurry up and get down to safety!”
At this moment, Chun Yu still didn’t understand just how stubborn her student was.
Li Yuan completely ignored what she said. She flew directly toward Li Luan.
Bai Xi blocked several spells Li Luan launched at Li Yuan, straining. “I’m running out of strength.”
Li Luan couldn’t help but laugh. “Old woman, I didn’t expect you to give birth to a useless daughter who can’t even fly. No wonder Father abandoned you to choose my mother as the Demon Empress, and chose me as the Demon Clan’s successor.”
Wan Qianqian glared fiercely at Li Yuan. This daughter was utterly humiliating her.
Li Yuan, however, seized the opportunity and kicked the demonic saber out of Li Luan’s hand.
Chun Yu was utterly stunned by Li Yuan’s skill.
Oh my god!
So this was…
The cheat!
She had witnessed it with her own eyes. She knew it; Li Yuan was the creator of this story, she absolutely couldn’t be a weakling!
The demonic saber in Li Luan’s hand was kicked away just like that, and she herself hadn’t even registered what had happened.
Without the Demon Clan’s treasure saber in her hand, her magical power was significantly weaker compared to Wan Qianqian’s. Wan Qianqian struck out with a palm, and Li Luan immediately spat out a mouthful of fresh blood and plummeted from mid-air.
Seeing his daughter severely injured, Bai Wang lost the will to fight. He flew over to catch his daughter, embraced her, and ordered the demon soldiers to retreat.
Seeing the Demon Clan retreat, the Shi clan lost their backbone and immediately ordered a withdrawal as well.
Bai Xi brought Li Yuan back down to the ground, and the small demon clans immediately cheered joyfully.
“We won!” “We are victorious!”
Wan Qianqian, however, looked at Chun Yu and Chang Le with a dark expression.
The small demons immediately realized that it wasn’t them who won, but the Immortal Sect, and the Immortal Sect people were here to capture them. Instantly, the small demons huddled together in fear.
Chun Yu said, “Master, this disciple knows her mistake and is willing to return to the Immortal Sect to accept punishment.”
Chang Le also said, “Master, this disciple also knows her mistake.”
Wan Wuyu clutched her chest and coughed a few times, looking at her earnestly. “Aunt, Wuyu also knows her mistake. Please, Aunt, spare their lives.”
Wan Qianqian’s gaze swept over everyone, finally landing on Li Yuan’s face. She walked up to Li Yuan.
It was a pressure that came not just from strength, but from the maternal line of the previous generation.
She looked at Li Yuan and said, “Are you willing to return to the Immortal Sect with me to cultivate?”
Chun Yu watched Li Yuan nod, cupping her hands in salute. “This disciple is willing.”
Wan Qianqian curved her lips in satisfaction.
Chun Yu immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
Their master and disciple lives were finally safe in this powerful world of immortals and demons.
With the Shi clan defeated, the small demon clans would likely have an easier time going forward.
Chun Yu, Li Yuan, and Wan Wuyu followed Wan Qianqian back to the Human Realm.
Upon returning to the Vast Brilliance Immortal Sect, Wan Qianqian and the Empress of the Vast Eternity Nation entered seclusion to heal for a period. During this time, all matters were temporarily managed by Wan Qixiu. Chun Yu and the others finally enjoyed a period of ease.
One day, Chun Yu, in high spirits, blocked Wan Wuyu’s path, grinning. “Going to the Immortal Prison to deliver food to Junior Sister Chang Le again, are we?”
Li Yuan stood behind Chun Yu, smiling faintly. She hadn’t expected Chun Yu to be so interested in Wan Wuyu and Chang Le’s affairs.
While Chun Yu found it novel, another reason was that she could finally tease Wan Wuyu, this arrogant princess.
Wan Wuyu pouted, adamantly denying it. “Who said this is food? This is poison! I’m going to poison her to death for daring to betray this princess.”
Chun Yu drew out a strange, long “Oh,” and said, “What kind of poison smells so good? And it hasn’t killed her after feeding it for half a month. Let me try some.”
Wan Wuyu slapped Chun Yu’s hand away. “Get away from me, you’re so annoying!” She looked up and saw Li Yuan. “Go play with your little follower dog.”
Chun Yu hadn’t expected Wan Wuyu to suddenly insult Li Yuan. “Hey, how can you talk like that…”
Chun Yu saw Li Yuan still smiling and said, “She insulted you.”
Li Yuan replied, “I heard her. She knows spells, and I can’t beat her. Why did you provoke her?”
Chun Yu’s eyes curved into crescent moons as she smiled. She leaned close to Li Yuan and whispered, “I’m just curious. It’s my first time seeing two girls in love. Was this plot point also something you wrote in elementary school?”
Li Yuan said, “Probably not. How could I have written it in such detail?”
That was true, Chun Yu nodded. Suddenly, she thought of something else. Chun Yu said, “Hey, think carefully, did you really not write any treasure in this world that allows instant ascension? The kind where you don’t have to cultivate day after day…”
Li Yuan rubbed her head exasperatedly. “No, really no. You’ve asked me hundreds of times, and even if there was, I wouldn’t remember it.”
Chun Yu looked a little dejected. “Forget it then. I just saw how incredibly powerful the Sect Leader and the Demon Clan were when they fought. There are so many people stronger than me. My little bit of spellcasting is too weak here. I just want to become stronger so I don’t have to be controlled into doing things I don’t want to do anymore.”
Li Yuan was silent for a moment. “I’m sorry, Teacher Chun, I really don’t remember.”
Chun Yu shook her head. “It’s okay. If we have to cultivate day by day, then we cultivate day by day. We will become strong eventually, and this world will belong to us one day!”
Chun Yu began to look forward to a beautiful future infinitely.
Three days later, Wan Qianqian and the Empress of the Vast Eternity Nation emerged from seclusion. The Empress returned to the Imperial Palace to handle state affairs.
Wan Qianqian, however, convened a grand assembly of the Immortal Sect.
All disciples of the Vast Brilliance Immortal Sect stood before the training grounds.
Wan Qianqian looked at the disciples below and said, “A month ago, I led a portion of disciples to fight the Demon Clan in the Demon Realm. The cultivation methods of our Immortal Sect were clearly inferior to the Demon Clan’s. Our Immortal Sect disciples must strengthen their cultivation so that we may flatten the Demon Realm in the future. Otherwise, with our current strength, the day may come when the Demon Realm flattens the Immortal Sect instead! Demons and devils are cruel and murderous. At that time, your friends, relatives, and even yourselves will die and fill the desolate graves. Is this what you wish to see?”
“No!”
“Then eliminate the demons and revitalize the Immortal Sect!”
“Eliminate the demons, revitalize the Immortal Sect!” The shouts of the disciples in the training grounds were deafening.
Wan Qianqian said, “Starting tomorrow, aside from leaving a portion of disciples to guard the Immortal Sect, all remaining disciples will be divided into groups and sent to various states to guard and cultivate, eliminating demons. Chang Yu, Wuyu, this matter will be organized by the two of you.”
Chun Yu and Wan Wuyu bowed. “This disciple obeys the command.”
Over the next day, Chun Yu received countless gifts in her room, all sent by disciples. Because the various states and continents ranged from desolate to prosperous, most disciples naturally wanted to be assigned to guard prosperous areas, and no one wanted to guard desolate ones.
Chun Yu sighed. “It seems that no matter the era, bribery always exists.” She figured it must be the same for Wan Wuyu. But given Wan Wuyu’s temper, and the fact that she wasn’t lacking in treasures, she would probably be completely impartial.
Li Yuan watched Chun Yu lovingly counting the treasures. “Teacher Chun, are you planning to accept all of these?”
Chun Yu took a deep breath, savoring the smell of money, the smell of treasure.
“No!” Chun Yu looked at Li Yuan. “Your Teacher Chun is not that kind of person.”
No sooner had she spoken than Wan Wuyu burst into the room, followed by Wan Qixiu.
Wan Wuyu looked at the table full of treasures, pointing at Chun Yu. “See, Imperial Brother? I knew based on her character that she would accept bribes. Let’s go tell the Sect Leader right now and revoke her authority to assign posts.”
Chun Yu raised both hands. “Nonsense! I haven’t accepted a single item!”
Wan Wuyu scoffed. “They are all in your room! If you didn’t accept them, how did they get into your room?”
Chun Yu said, “Well, if people want to send gifts, they’ll send them to my room, right? Are they supposed to send them to yours? But just because they were sent doesn’t mean I’m going to accept them.”
Wan Wuyu said, “You are clearly just being sophistical! I must tell the Sect Leader and have you expelled from the Immortal Sect.”
Chun Yu said, “I don’t understand, Your Royal Highness the Princess, where exactly have I offended you that you seize every opportunity to cause me trouble?”
Li Yuan whispered in Chun Yu’s ear, “She’s jealous of you and Chang Le.”
Chun Yu suddenly understood.
Wan Wuyu pointed at Li Yuan. “What nonsense are you spouting? Don’t think I won’t tear your mouth off just because you’re the Sect Leader’s daughter. The Sect Leader hasn’t even acknowledged you yet.”
Chun Yu shielded Li Yuan, looking at Wan Wuyu with a warning tone. “What are you doing? Private fighting among disciples is punishable by being locked in the Immortal Prison. Wan Qixiu, aren’t you going to control your sister?”
Wan Qixiu said, “Enough, Wuyu, stop making a scene. I don’t think Senior Sister Chang Yu intends to accept the gifts.”
Wan Wuyu shouted, “Imperial Brother, don’t be fooled by this woman’s appearance! She is habitually greedy and only seeks profit. If you don’t believe me, ask her where she plans to assign herself to guard! It won’t be our Vast Eternity Nation, will it? That would truly be staying home.”
Wan Qixiu said, “Senior Sister Chang Yu, may I ask where you have assigned yourself to guard?”
Chun Yu said, “Twilight City.”
Wan Qixiu raised an eyebrow. “Twilight City? Isn’t that the city closest to the Demon Realm? It’s ravaged by demons and devils, and the sun is never seen, which is why it’s named Twilight City.”
Chun Yu smiled and exchanged a look with Li Yuan.
“That’s right. We have decided to go guard Twilight City.”
