Chapter 38 (1/2)

38 – Qi Qiqi Wants to Learn Magic

Rubbing her sleepy eyes, Xue Qilin opened a window, and the cold air poured into the room from outside as if a dam broke.

“…ah-choo!” Xue Qilin wrinkled her nose and tightened the collar of her night gown.

The pale yellow night gown she wore was a short kimono tailor-made for her. It was light and thin, easy to wear, and more importantly, it looked cuter than the previous night gown.

From an outsider's perspective, they will most likely feel it strange to see this “young girl” only wear some thin clothes in this cold weather and think that there was a problem with her head.

However, if they knew that this young girl was actually a Heaven Realm master, they might no longer find this strange.

Heaven Realm, a realm that most martial pract.i.tioners might achieve only after a lifetime.

Nurtured by true qi, their physique has long exceeded that of ordinary people, and Xue Qilin was no exception.

In fact, even if she dug a hole in a frozen lake, stripped naked, and jumped into the water, she still wouldn't feel a chill. The reason why she sneezed just now was a natural physiological reaction due to the temperature drop.

Despite reaching the Heaven Realm, some instincts characteristic of humans still remained.

The world outside the window was still dusky. The mist characteristic of the early morning has yet to disperse, and only some faint sunlight penetrated the morning mist and caressed the earth.

“Oh, it seems a bit early…”

After she pulled her gaze away from the view outside, Xue Qilin yawned and stretched her body.

Then, she rubbed the sleep dust from the corners of her eyes and walked towards the wardrobe. After opening the wardrobe, Xue Qilin drilled inside and looked for clothing.

Really, this wardrobe is too big! Don't I have just a few piece of clothing… Xue Qilin grumbled in her heart as she rummaged through her clothes.

“Which should I wear?”

After a while, she finally fished out the most commonly worn dress-like robes.

Creak – the sound of the door opening suddenly sounded. At the same time, a crisp, clear voice resounded, “Hey, Little Xue, you still aren't ready?”

If the other party's tone wasn't laced with discontent, Xue Qilin would definitely have enjoyed the sound of their voice.

“I already woke up one hour earlier than yesterday!” Xue Qilin closed the closet and looked in the direction of the door unhappily.

A head has popped in from the half-opened door. Delicate, exquisite features and bright, eye-catching red eyes. It was Qi Qiqi.

A girl with such an overwhelming beauty, it could only have been Qi Qiqi. Besides, in the entire Merak Temple, only she called Xue Qilin “Little Xue”.

However, Xue Qilin really felt embarra.s.sed being called “Little Xue”.

“I don't want you to call me Little Xue!”

“Why not? Don't you call me Little Seven? Then why can't I call you Little Xue?”

“It's not the same! I am you senior, after all!”

“Humph! Senior?” Qi Qiqi snorted disdainfully. She pushed open the door and walked up to Xue Qilin overbearingly.

“Tell me, from which angle do you look anything like a senior?!” With her hands on her waist, Qi Qiqi who was taller looked down at Xue Qilin.

When she discovered the almost indestructible glimmer of pride lingering in Qi Qiqi's eyes, Xue Qilin rolled her eyes. Is she emphasizing that she's higher than me?

The girl's action was funny and a little cute, so Xue Qilin didn't felt like bothering about the other party.
