After rebirth, the eldest sister voluntarily abdicated and gave way to the wise.

Chapter 507: Burning its glory

"Pfft pfft pfft!" "Ptooey pfft pfft!"

A head sculpted from ice and snow peeked out from behind a haystack, but before it could even cough up a couple of mouthfuls of dust, a slender, delicate hand pressed it firmly back down.

"Shh—!" The girl frowned, put a finger to her lips, and nervously shook her head at the boy Qingzhi.

Qingzhi pursed his lips, strongly disagreeing with his junior sister for dragging him to such a dusty, muddy, and filthy place, where rats scurried past his feet.

He is extremely clean and cannot tolerate even the slightest bit of dirt.

But the girl in front of him didn't care at all. She leaned her head against the haystack where spiders and insects were crawling around, listening very carefully to the sounds outside.

Only after the girl finally turned her head away and confirmed that nothing was chasing him did he finally voice his dissatisfaction.

"Senior Brother, Second Senior Brother and the others have all been sent to the Jade Branch White Snow Secret Realm for training. Only the two of us are left to fend for ourselves outside, and we even have to come and catch some damn succubi. These low-level demons can't even hurt mortals with no spiritual power. I really don't know what Master was thinking. I'm clearly the one who wants to become stronger the most, and I've done much better homework than Senior Brother and the others..."

"Junior sister, you're taking this little demon too seriously."

As the girl listened to his words, her slender, white fingertips unconsciously tapped her chin. Just as the boy was intently waiting for her comments, she suddenly moved closer.

The boy's eyes flickered, and he immediately stopped breathing.

However, the faint floral fragrance only lingered around his nose for a moment before the girl shrank back and opened her palm in front of him.

what?

The boy looked down.

A brightly colored little spider crawled around in the girl's palm, seemingly trying to find a way to leave.

Qingzhi was alarmed and immediately grabbed the girl's hand, swatting the little spider away.

"Junior Sister, are you crazy? This is a highly venomous spider!"

The girl showed no sign of panic. Instead, she tilted her hair to the right, tilted her head, and winked at the boy Qingzhi with a smile: "Yes, it was just on your head."

"..." Qingzhi, who was very clean, finally couldn't take it anymore. She swung her palm, and dozens of sword energies suddenly erupted, blowing the haystack upside down.

At the same time, he frantically threw cleansing spells at himself until he was spotless, but he still vaguely felt that there were unknown little things running around in his hair.

The icy expression that he had always told himself to remain calm in the face of honor and disgrace, and to keep his emotions hidden, finally cracked. The boy's chest heaved violently, his eyes filled with tears, revealing a pitiful and helpless red hue as he looked at his junior sister with deep grievance.

The girl felt inexplicably guilty under his gaze, so she quickly reached out and half-hug him, gently patting the back of his head while softly comforting him.

Where the boy couldn't see, the girl hurriedly threw away the three spider puppets she had hidden in her sleeve.

"Junior Sister, how about I treat you to some plain noodles? It's a specialty of the mortal realm, a must-try whenever I visit. Would you like to try some?"

Qingzhi pursed his lips, his body still stiff from the spider on his head, but when he heard that his junior sister was going to treat him, he thought that his junior sister was usually the stingiest, and she never thought of paying back the spirit stones she borrowed from him. He figured that eating this meal of noodles from her would be enough to get some of his money back, so he nodded and agreed with a pitiful expression.

The girl breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that she had finally coaxed the easily teased boy.

Taoyuanzhai is famous for its peach blossom wine. People from all around who love to drink will come here to buy a jar of wine or some side dishes and sit by the river to drink a small pot.

Of course, they also sell noodles here, including plain noodles.

As soon as she entered, the young woman summoned the waiter and ordered a bowl of plain noodles and ten jugs of peach blossom wine.

Qingzhi sat blankly on the uneven stool, looking at the peach wood table with a missing corner, where pots of wine carved with peach branches were placed one after another, and a bowl of plain noodles squeezed into the corner. He felt as if he had been bullied by someone again, and his heart ached even more.

He couldn't help but turn to look at the girl who was already preparing to drink her fill of wine, and whispered a reproachful call: "Junior Sister..."

The girl paused in her hand holding the teapot, feeling for the first time that her skin had become thinner. Her cheeks were burning hot under the gaze of a boy who hadn't even grown up yet, as if she had done something terribly wrong to him.

She coughed lightly, pretending to be serious, and immediately moved all the wine jugs back. Then she pushed the bowl of plain-looking noodles in front of him, wiped his chopsticks for him, and handed them to him.

He grinned, revealing eight flawless white teeth: "Junior Brother Qingzhi, eat quickly, the noodles should be eaten while they're hot."

Qingzhi was actually reluctant to eat this bowl of noodles that looked incredibly oily, and since he had already abstained from grains, there was no need for him to suffer like this. However, looking at the girl's eager and expectant eyes, he still grabbed the cheap bamboo chopsticks that he would never have touched before, picked up some noodles, and held his breath as he stuffed them into his mouth.

This noodle dish was so bad that he suspected someone had poisoned it.

With a contorted expression, he struggled to swallow the noodles of varying thicknesses. Suddenly, a fragrant aroma of wine poured into his noodle soup. He looked up in surprise and saw the girl holding a wine pot, pouring a little peach blossom wine into his noodle bowl.

Instantly, the fragrance of flowers filled the air, refreshing and delightful.

"Try it again, it's truly amazing!" The girl's eyebrows arched, her smile bright, her red dress billowing in the wind like spring flowers in March.

Something suddenly struck his heart, and he became so flustered that he dared not look at her anymore, and buried his head in his noodles.

The noodle soup, with its subtle aroma of wine, tasted incredibly delicious this time, so delicious that he wanted another bowl.

However, this heart-fluttering atmosphere was quickly shattered by reality, and Qingzhi was once again speechless with astonishment at the girl in front of him.

The girl apologized to him repeatedly, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I forgot to bring the gold and silver used by mortals, I don't have a single coin on me, could you... treat me next time?"

"..."

So, does this mean he has to pay?

But he didn't bring any gold or silver used by mortals!

Before we set off, my junior sister clearly said that everything was prepared and nothing was missing, and that we should trust her and not check anything anymore, and just hurry up and complete the mission!

"Hey, you two are dressed like respectable gentlemen, are you planning to dine and dash? Let me tell you, my boss's little shop may not be big, but it's well-known in the surrounding area. If you want to renege on your debt, let's go to the yamen and see who's thicker-skinned and gets scorned by the villagers!" The waiter's smiling face immediately turned stern when he saw that they were delaying paying their bill, and he almost flicked the white cloth in his hand onto their noses.

Qingzhi had never been called a deadbeat before, and his face immediately turned red and he couldn't say a word.
