Three months later.
A figure dressed in pink appeared behind the Steward He, the in-charge of the outer sect and was walking towards the spirit field at the foot of the mountain.
“Junior Sister Shu Yi, you don’t have to make this trip personally, you can just give your orders if you need anything and I’ll get someone to send it to Dan Chen Mountain.” Steward He said with a fawning smile while leading the way.
“Senior Brother He is too polite, how can I trouble you.” Shu Yi responded with a bashful smile, her expression innocent and adorable. “It’s just because my father needed to refine a batch of Spirit Mending pills and happened to be lacking the fragrant spirit shrub. Such low-level spirit herbs are only grown in the outer sect, my father needed it urgently and I happened to be idle so I made a trip here.”
“Turns out the fragrant spirit herb that Junior Sister asked for was needed by Perfected Shu Yuan!” Steward He was shocked, his attitude became even more respectful. “Junior Sister Shu Yi is indeed Perfected Shu Yuan’s child, you’re so filial, not to mention, your cultivation level rises so quickly.”
“You flatter me Senior Brother He.” Shu Yi showed a slightly embarrassed smile, looking just like a naive little girl.
“The outer sect has a lot of the fragrant spirit shrub, today happens to be the day of the quarterly harvest.” Steward He’s gaze was increasingly kind as he hurriedly pointed to the front and said, “Junior Sister Shu please follow me, feel free to let me know which field you’ve taken a fancy to.”
“Thank you Senior Brother.” Shu Yi immediately skipped and followed, —after passing a huge spirit field, unsure whether it was intentional or not, she started to approach the spirit field right at the edge.
Suddenly, an odd voice sounded.
[Host, weren’t you planning to quickly refine that heart-shaped immortal artifact, then help owner exact revenge, what are you doing here now?]
“Of course it’s to send some warmth.” Shu Yi answered deep down. “Wasn’t Zuo Shuming sent here to farm the spirit field as a punishment? And he was given a piece of land. Now the three-month deadline is up, he certainly cannot present 50 stems of spirit herbs. Naturally I have to help him!”
[Help him, why? Isn’t Zuo Shuming our enemy? He was the one who killed owner in her previous life, why are you helping him?]
“System you don’t understand.” Shu Yi sighed and said, “For such a jerk like Zuo Shuming, just snatching his opportunities and preventing him from ascending would not satisfy the owner. Only by tormenting his body and heart with nothing to his name, making him completely lose the motivation to practice cultivation, can we achieve our aim of revenge. Sometimes, staying alive feels worse than being dead!”
[001 does not understand, we’ve already taken his most important immortal artifact away and ruined his chances of becoming a disciple of the Soul Formation cultivator, is that not enough?]
“Of course it’s not!” Shu Yi said angrily, “In her previous life, the original owner Shu Yi loved him so deeply, willingly putting herself in danger time and time again for him. Yet he did not know to treasure that at all, not only did he publicly refuse to marry her, he even embarrassed her for a disciple who just joined the sect. If it wasn’t for all that, why would the owner turn demonic. In the end she even died in his hands! Zuo Shuming ruined Shu Yi’s entire life, how could simply not being able to ascend dispel owner’s resentment?”
[Then what do you intend to do?]
“Didn’t he say that he’s never had feelings for owner, his junior sister?” Shu Yi laughed coldly. “Of course I’ll let him have a taste of desiring something but not being able to get it.”
[So host coming here this time is to pretend to help him escape the punishment for not being able to present the spirit herbs and get Zuo Shuming to develop feelings for you?]
“How is just having feelings enough?” Shu Yi said, “I will make it an indelible love!”
[You are indeed the best host, all the best! I have faith in you.]
