When Yunge entered the door, she was shocked!
The small child was standing at the door, her eyes looked at Yunge. Obviously, there was nothing in her eyes, but Yunge still felt a little sad. Was she waiting for her to come back?
“I am back? Have you eaten?” Yunge intimately asked as she carried her and pinched her nose.
Yunge never thought about getting the other person"s answer, and she carried the child inside the s.p.a.ce. When she looked at the things on top of the jade plate, she knew that this child hasn"t eaten anything.
“Why don"t you eat?” Yunge sat down with the child and looked at her eyes.
“…” The child still hadn"t spoke, but her eyes looked towards Yunge.
“You need to eat. Understand?” Yunge tone was as gentle as before. How could she not care about this unresponsive child? In Yunge"s perspective, this was her own apprentice. Since she had autism, it was normal to not understand how to respond.
“If you don"t eat, you won"t be able to grow taller…” Yunge pinched the child"s nose, her tone was witty. Without knowing why, the child"s eyes were damp. Her eyes ceased to be ethereal. Her thin face"s chin expressed innocence and annoyance.
“…” *罒▽罒* Ahhhhhh！！！！ My little apprentice can"t possibly be this cute!
“Come come, let Master feed you～～” Once again, Yunge felt that her own self control was attacked(1). At the time, this was the reason that she, who was a student of great ability, went to be a preschool teacher.
(T/N- (1) “云歌觉得自己萌物控的毛病又犯了！”)
The child obediently opened her mouth. When Yunge saw her waiting for the food, her heart was emitting bubbles(2)! So cute!
((2)- Something similar to melting when you see something adorable
¯_(ツ)_/¯ )
“Little apprentice…” Yunge rubbed the child who was eating. In the future, thee little apprentice will be the eldest disciple. It was certain that she will use her own original name.
The little apprentice obviously will not speak. Yunge is a name(3), so anything about her name will have to wait until the little apprentice talks to her.
(3)- “取名废”
“Little apprentice, are you full?” Yunge asked with a smile. She no longer saw the child eating and touched her stomach.
When Yunge felt that she was touching the child"s stomach, the child immediately struggled to stand up. The dark eyes that originally faded had once again returned.
Seeing this situation, Yunge still had something she didn"t understand. Her heart had a burst of killing intent! She must not let the little apprentice meet someone who would make her become this kind of person!
Right now, the most important matter now is the little apprentice.
“Don"t be afraid, I am Master.” Yunge carried the apprentice and gently patted her back. “Don"t worry. Master will protect you and no one can hurt you…”
Yunge incessantly said these words gently and softly beside the little apprentice"s ear. Yunge"s heart was sour. If the little apprentice hadn"t met her, what else could she do?
In the beginning, Yunge thought this child was autistic. But now, she found out it might not be that kind of autism she thought of.
At least the cause was not the same as she imagined. Most of the causes of autism are innate. For example: heredity, abnormalties in the immune system and neuroendocrine system. However, the little apprentice… most likely had it from external causes…
Yunge"s heart was suffering…
“…” The child didn"t move for a long time. Yunge looked at the little apprentice, who was quiet and already asleep.
“Liitle appentice…” Yunge sighed and prepared to put her down.
Just as Yunge put down the little apprentice, the apaprentice suddenly grabbed the lapel of Yunge"s white clothes.
For the first time, Yunge saw the apprentice taking the initiative to do something. Her heart felt a burst of softness. She carried the apprentice again.
…………………………………………
When the little apprentice woke up, Yunge touched the apprentice"s head. “Close your eyes, don"t be afraid.”
Next to the clouds and mist, Yunge held the little apprentice in her arms and prepared to start her task.
The apprentice"s eyes did not close and looked up at her Master with dripping wet eyes, only to see the arc of an ice-cold face.
That cold face turned into the warmest expression when their head was lowered.
“To be worthy of being my apprentice, you must not be afraid!” Yunge touched the little apprentice"s head. She was very happy that the s.p.a.ce was still peaceful when the apprentice woke up. It looks like the apprentice"s autism wasn"t as serious as she thought.
“I will take you to catch monsters, understand?” Yunge did not prepare to put down the little apprentice. For her, mult.i.tasking (4) was a very simple thing.
((4)- “御剑” a.s.sumed it meant mult.i.tasking since google translate was not helping.)
The Level 4 Flame Beasts were not very far away, so Yunge and her apprentice would arrive soon.
“…” Once they landed, the little apprentice struggled.
Yunge didn"t mind. She smiled and placed down the little apprentice. She crouched down to touch the apprentice"s head. “Will holding my hand be alright?”
After Yunge finished speaking, she took the apprentice"s hand. The apprentice didn"t reject her. Yunge, who was satisfied, led the apprentice to find the said monster.
Yunge stood up. Due to the apprentice being in her embrace, she did not see her apprentice"s look of attachment.
“The little monster we are looking for is called the Flame Beast. Why is it called the Flame Beast? Because it can spurt flames!” Yunge explained while taking the apprentice to the forest.
The reason why she accepted this task was not only because she was interested in the Ning Xin Core, but also because she wanted to teach her apprentice now. She hasn"t officially entered the school, so Yunge couldn"t teach her Yunfu School"s cultivation method. However, she could teach the apprentice general knowledge and her own battle techniques.
Alright. Right now, her battles techniques is also a slag. But the opponent is a Level 4 Flame Beast. This kind of existence is even more of a slag. She has nothing to be afraid of because she has the apprentice by her side. Even if Yunge"s cultivation base is nearly crushed, she will still be cautious.
Once they entered the forest, Yunge felt a change in the apprentice"s body. Yunge was startled, then thought about it. The major sects didn"t have many records of the Pure Yin body. Even less, a Pure Yin body with a pure wood spiritual root. Therefore, not knowing is excusable!
Because the subtle spiritual powers that were originally concentrated around some big trees flocked to the little apprentice, There was no need to call for the apprentice.
Yunge sighed. She did not know if the Pure Yin body was a good thing or a bad thing, but it was bad luck for the little apprentice in the past. Later on, it won"t be bad luck.
“…” The apprentice did not know what her Master was thinking. She only knew that something was constantly pouring into her body. She remembered a certain scene and those ugly faces. She doesn"t want this thing! She doesn"t want it!
“Don"t be afraid.” Feeling the apprentice"s resistance, Yunge stopped and squatted in front of the apprentice. Yunge then gathered all the subtle spiritual power to her own palm.
Yunge recalled the appearance of her previous life"s cotton candy and gently moved her long fingers. A clot of pure white things that resembled candy was created. Yunge smiled brightly because of the things on her hands. “Little apprentice, this is my favorite food when I was little. Do you want to try it?”Said Yunge as she leaned over to eat. As a result, Yunge controlled the cotton candy so that it escaped from her mouth and towards the apprentice.
“It likes you!” When Yunge said these words, the cotton candy was obediently advancing towards the apprentice.
The little apprentice didn"t talk and stared blankly at Yunge.
“…” o(////▽////)q That cute expression makes me want to hug her！！！
#My apprentice can"t possibly be this cute#
“…” Yunge saw the little apprentice take the initiative. Yunge felt a portion of sweetness pa.s.sing through her mouth to her body.
Yunge was stunned for a moment. Little apprentice, this is… just a moment ago, the apprentice had pushed the spiritual cotton candy in her mouth?
Yunge saw that only half of the spiritual cotton candy was left and smiled even more. Her apprentice cares about her!
“Each person gets half ～” Sure enough, the little apprentice no longer resisted the remaining spiritual energy.
The Author has something to say: I heard that the Golden Lord"s thing is going to be pulled out from time to time~
End of Chapter 5 (Additional Footnotes)
(5)- “作者有话要说：
听说金主这个东西要时不时地牵出来溜溜～” I"m not sure what the author was trying to say but ok.
Is it just me or is this chapter longer than usual? This chapter is quite nice though :3
