Chapter 37: The owner of that shop is a pervert!

“Um… Sect Master, Little Li is suddenly a little sleepy. I’m going to take a nap. Please help me refuse her later.”

As she spoke, Su Li’er tried to sneak away furtively.

However, in the next second, she felt a pressure on the back of her collar. Her feet were lifted off the ground, and she was mercilessly picked up.

“Aren’t you going to explain?”

A frosty voice sounded faintly. Although she couldn’t see Song Ruoxue’s expression clearly, Su Li’er could guess by instinct that the big ice cold Sect Master must be angry now!

Therefore, she didn’t dare to look back, nor did she dare to struggle. Su Li’er hung her head and mumbled in a low voice, “Little Li really doesn’t know her well. I don’t know what she’s coming for… doesn’t the Sect Master believe me anymore?”

“Of course I believe you.”

“Oh right, Little Li remembers now. That dragon is here for money!”

“For money?”

“Mmm-hmm.” Su Li’er quickly explained, “When we were in the carriage, she helped me pay. Little Li told her to come to the Sword Sect for it later.”

—As soon as she finished speaking, Su Li’er landed safely on the ground.

‘Phew, that was close.’

Crisis averted.

“There’s money in the cabinet. Little Li can go and get it herself later,” Song Ruoxue said.

“Okay,” Su Li’er nodded.

Looking at the bright sun hanging high in the sky, it would probably be noon in about half an hour.

It’s gotten a little warmer.

“The Sect Master isn’t going into seclusion anymore, right?” Su Li’er asked cautiously.

“There’s a guest coming, so I’ll put it off for now.” Song Ruoxue’s expression had softened a lot.

It seems the big ice block Sect Master has forgiven me. That’s good, that’s good. The crisis is completely resolved now~~

As for getting close and affectionate… the atmosphere doesn’t seem right for it. There’s no chance for now, what a pity.

“Sect Master, what’s the deal with that esoteric arts shop?” Su Li’er’s face was full of curiosity. “Ah, of course, if the Sect Master doesn’t want to talk about it, that’s fine too. Little Li is just more curious about this kind of thing…”

If there are any esoteric arts, can they help me increase my lifespan too?

“That shop has only recently become known. It’s very mysterious. I can’t say for sure when it’s been there. The location is too remote,” Song Ruoxue said softly. One could see the displeasure in her eyes.

“Does it cure all diseases?”

“Mmm, an unconventional method of treatment, hard to grasp, simply a miracle.”

Song Ruoxue gave it a very high evaluation.

The curiosity in Su Li’er’s heart grew even stronger.

“It’s so powerful, then any illness can be treated in the future!”

“Little Li is not allowed to go!”

“…Huh?”

“In short, Little Li is not allowed to go. From today onwards, a sect rule is established. Little Li is forbidden from going to that esoteric arts shop.”

“…Ha, ha???”

Su Li’er was stunned. From the first day she joined the Sword Sect, there had never been any rules, no restrictions, a sense of freedom. This was one of the reasons she had insisted on joining the Sword Sect.

But why were there suddenly rules…

“Did you hear me?” A solemn expression appeared on Song Ruoxue’s face.

“I heard.” Su Li’er could only agree for now, but this made her even more suspicious. “Sect Master, did something happen at that shop?”

Rarely, Su Li’er felt Song Ruoxue’s specific anger for the first time.

To be precise, the withered leaves on the ground began to be covered in frost. Sword intent swept about wildly, and the sound of the air exploding followed one after another.

Uh… so scary.

Su Li’er timidly took a small step back, surrounded by an extremely cold killing intent, the hair on her body standing on end.

“Sec… Sect Master?”

Song Ruoxue didn’t respond. The killing intent in her eyes grew even stronger, and she even made the sound of clenching her knuckles.

‘What’s going on today?’

‘The big ice cold Sect Master’s emotions are so unstable!’

‘So scary, so scary. I feel like I’m going to be frozen into an ice block…’

Seemingly sensing her junior sister’s fear, Song Ruoxue closed her eyes, her brows furrowed tightly. In an instant, the sky full of frost dissipated, everything became calm and peaceful, and the withered leaves fell silent.

“I’m sorry, Little Li. I hate that shop. Every time I think of that shop owner, I want to kill her… no, throw her into a pot and boil her.”

“Ah… huh?” Su Li’er was in a daze. This was the first time she had heard such words from the big ice block Sect Master’s mouth.

Song Ruoxue had always been a person who paid great attention to etiquette. Even when she was angry, she rarely said anything violent or bloody.

Su Li’er was very clear about this.

‘Oho, it seems I’ve unlocked another unknown side of the big ice cold Sect Master…’

‘This kind of Sect Master doesn’t look bad either.’

‘A little handsome, Little Li is about to fall for you~~’

“That shop owner is a profiteer, an unreasonable rogue… she just has a pretty face.” Song Ruoxue muttered in a low, resentful voice, then her tone changed. “She’s still much worse than Little Li.”

“Is that so… a profiteer and a rogue is indeed very annoying!” Su Li’er muttered.

“And a pervert,” Song Ruoxue said.

“That’s right, perverts are also very annoying… eh? Wait, a pervert!?” Su Li’er was stunned.

“Yes.” Song Ruoxue was extremely grave and instructed, “So, Xiao Li must not go. She likes perverted young girls and likes to force herself on them… She’s very perverted.”

“…O-okay.” Su Li’er nodded, half-understanding. “Little Li will absolutely, absolutely not go. I’ll stake my character on it and promise the Sect Master!”

‘A pervert, and a forceful one at that, yikes.’

‘Listen to that, what a terrifying thing!’

‘I’m definitely not going!’

“But I’m still not at ease with Little Li. All in all, you must not go exploring that shop,” Song Ruoxue instructed again.

‘What?’

‘Big ice cold Sect Master, you still don’t believe me?’

‘How could I possibly go looking for a pervert???’

‘If I go, I’m a dog, okay.’

“Little Li is very obedient, the Sect Master can rest assured!” Su Li’er patted her chest with a solemn promise.

“That’s good.” It was obvious that Song Ruoxue was relieved.

“Then… Sect Master, are you okay?” After thinking it over, Su Li’er still decided to ask. Of course, it was more out of her curiosity. The big ice block Sect Master is my攻略 target, I can’t let anyone else snatch her away!

“I…” Song Ruoxue opened her mouth, her expression calm. “Of course I’m fine. She can’t do anything to me.”

“The Sect Master is mighty!” Su Li’er raised her hands and cheered.

Hehe, very good, very good. It seems the first blood is still mine~~~

“Ahem—has Little Li grown a little taller?” Song Ruoxue’s gaze flickered.

“Have I?” Su Li’er stood on her tiptoes in confusion. “I don’t think so.”

“I saw wrong.”

“Oh…~”

Su Li’er was puzzled.

Strange, why does it feel like the big ice block Sect Master is hesitating, as if she has something on her mind???

It’s like she’s deliberately changing the subject…

Just as Su Li’er was hesitating whether to press on, a loud and clear voice, very familiar, came from the foot of the mountain.

—”Little Li!!! Are you at the Sword Sect?”

Hearing the voice, Su Li’er’s alert radar activated.

Big Sister Dragon is here!
