Chapter 252.2 – Oafish
After the final part was installed, the chanism sword finally regained its previous state.
“Finally — it’s done!”
Xue Qilin tossed aside the tool in her hand, weakly fell with he back on the floor, and assud the shape of the 大 character.
When her taught mind relaxed, sleepiness washed over her. Xue Qilin took the chanism sword as a pillow, intending to sleep just like that. Since she hadn’t had a wink of sleep all night, she just wants to sleep. She doesn’t care where she is going to sleep and doesn’t have the energy to comfort her hungry stomach.
Shortly after, her consciousness beca blurred.
Although the stamina and physique of Heaven Realm practitioners is several tis better than that of ordinary people, but people cannot discard their instinctive desires. For instance, Heaven Realm practitioners can maintain their physical function at an optimal state without eating for a whole month. But they can’t completely give up the desire to eat.
— only soone who reached the Soaring Immortal Realm can give up the instinctive desires of living beings.
“Is the sword assembled, Young Ancestor? I’ve prepared so breakfast. Do you want to eat?”
In her hazy state of mind, Xue Qilin heard Li Wanting’s voice.
She felt soone squat down beside her and a few strands of hair that emit a faint sll of burnt charcoal scratch her nose. She subconsciously pushed the hair away.
As if dissatisfied with this, Li Wanting gave her a nudge.
“I know you’re tired, Young Ancestor. But you shouldn’t sleep on the floor.”
Xue Qilin wrinkled her nose, then slowly opened her eyes and gazed at the pair of dark orange eyes, which look like molten tal, facing her.
“Little Ting... do you know? I’m going to die if I don’t sleep.”
“I know you worked hard. But at least go to bed... Besides, you haven’t eaten dinner, have you?”
“What does it matter...”
“Of course it matters.”
Li Wanting stood up and put her hands on her hips, helpless.
“What if you get sick?”
Xue Qilin turned over and closed her eyes again.
“If I get sick, then so be it... What’s more, will I get sick that easily? Just bring a quilt.”
“Stop it, will you?” Li Wanting sighed, “Get up and have sothing to eat. Qi’er has co to see you.”
“Why did she co to see ?”
Li Wanting shrugged, a puzzled look on her face.
“I don’t know, either. She said she has sothing to discuss with the both of us. She looked rather anxious.”
Next, as if she thought of sothing, the corners of Li Wanting’s mouth tilted to one side.
“Maybe Qi’er is worried about you, so she specially ca to see you.”
“That so...”
Xue Qilin gave a short, careless reply. But the corners of her mouth slightly rose unconsciously.
Even though she assud nonchalant mannerism, she is still a little happy to know that Qi Qiqi may really be worried about her.
As if trying to hide the slightly happy expression on her face, Xue Qilin cast Li wanting a look of curiosity.
“Anyhow, why are you so energetic? You stayed up all night, as well.”
Last night, Li Wanting stayed up all night together with Xue Qilin.
Xue Qilin knows that the reason why Li Wanting kept her company was not only to supervise and urge her, but probably also to help her with any questions she encounters.
“I often study chanism arts all night, so I’m used to it.”
After giving a casual answer, Li Wanting clapped her hands and said sternly, “Okay, now get up! Or else Qi’er will get angry, again!”
“Fine, fine!”
Xue Qilin slowly climbed up and whispered, “Really, not even allowed to sleep. How overbearing.”
“Don’t let Qi’er hear that...” Li Wanting couldn’t help but smile bitterly, “Or she will reproach you, again.”
“Before that, you already taught a lesson, okay?”
Xue Qilin is referring to the fact that she was forced to reassemble the chanism sword and was not allowed to sleep on the floor.
Consequently, Li Wanting unconsciously widened her eyes and asked, “Ah, really?”
“Yeah, really!”
Li Wanting seems like she wants to get to the heart of the matter. But Xue Qilin, who doesn’t want to explain anymore, asked first, “Where’s Little Seven?”
“Ah?”
Since the topic changed a little abruptly, it took Li Wanting so ti to respond. She gave a concise reply, “She’s in my study.”
Li Wanting is a little oafish, so Xue Qilin easily changed the subject.
After getting the answer, Xue Qilin nodded, lifted the chanism sword, and put it over her shoulder.
“That so? Then let’s go!”
With that, she took the lead and set out, acting like she’s the host instead of a guest. Li Wanting was montarily stunned, and then rushed to catch up with Xue Qilin after the latter walked out of the room.
In the front yard shrouded in the morning haze, Xue Qilin yawned as she walked rapidly. After Li Wanting caught up with her, she started chattering.
“Little Ting, what on earth were you doing yesterday...”
In the middle of the conversation, Xue Qilin turned her eyes in thought and mumbled a question, “How did you got stuck in the chest?”
She has been very curious about what happened yesterday, about how Li Wanting ended up in such an embarrassing situation.
Following Xue Qilin’s question, Li Wanting scratched the back of her head.
“Er... I fell when I was tidying up things.”
“Eh?” Xue Qilin cast Li Wanting a stunned look, “If I rember correctly, your side room is full of things related to chanism weapons and such?”
“That’s right.”
With that, Li Wanting showed a puzzled “what about it?” expression.
At this ti, they walked out of the front yard and stepped into the pronade leading to Li Wanting’s study.
“What chanism won’t be triggered if you fall like this?”
“It was a blessing in disguise.”
Li Wanting replied in a tone full of rejoicing.
That is to say, it’s great that there was a chance to trigger so chanism? Xue Qilin helplessly rolled her eyes and couldn’t help murmuring, “How careless. It’s really fortunate that you were able to live till now...”
“That’s too much, Young Ancestor!”
Li Wanting protested first, and then uttered, disgruntled, “But it seems that I really have to pay more attention... I have to fall where there is nothing.”
“It’s good that you’re aware.”
Xue Qilin issued a humph.
Li Wanting has high attainnts in sword casting and chanism arts. But, as if everything was invested in them, she is inexplicably clumsy in other things. Although it’s not as if she can’t discern things. But she will fall down where there are things, confuse salt and sugar, and even wear her clothes inside out.
Maybe she is clumsy about other things because she devoted all her thoughts to the things she loves.
As she let her imagination run wild, Li Wanting’s study unwittingly appeared in front of Xue Qilin. Xue Qilin pushed open the door and stepped in without hesitation.
“Little Seven, you were looking for ?!”
Qi Qiqi is standing in front of a bookshelf.
Looking like she’s interested in a book, she just pulled it out half way off the shelf. However, when she heard Xue Qilin’s voice, she put the book back.
After turning around, Qi Qiqi first greeted Li Wanting, and then cast Xue Qilin a reproachful look.
“Qilin, can you knock before you co in? This is not your study!”
Xue Qilin just put down the chanism sword and wanted to retort back, when she found that Qi Qiqi looks a little haggard. The girl in red dress has has dark circles under her eyes. She looks very tired, no longer as beautiful as before.
Is it because she’s too busy? Xue Qilin suddenly felt a little distressed.
Just as she wanted to say sothing to express her concern for Qi Qiqi —
“Qilin, quickly tidy up yourself! You’re going out with Senior Disciple Sister Li.”
But Qi Qiqi beat her to the punch and spoke words that ca out of nowhere.
