It was the first time that Leng Mushi let herself feel the care of another person. Xiao Mian was very good at taking care of people. His temperament seemed cold, but it was different from You Zishu who was really cold. He was cold on the outside but warm on the inside.
It can also be said that he is dull on the outside but sexy on the inside.
After his evening classes every day, he would come to Leng Mushi quietly and bring her food for the past few days. Just like in his previous life, he had figured out Leng Mushi's favorite foods and how much she ate.
Of course, every meal includes steamed dried meat of Chenhuo beast. Leng Mushi stays in Feihe Courtyard obediently and does not go out. What she does every day is to wait for Xiao Mian to come.
She no longer used her abilities until the Immortal Gate test came.
Leng Mushi could have demonstrated her extraordinary spiritual roots and chosen any school of her choice, but this time she suppressed her own abilities instead, making her spiritual roots even weaker than in her previous life.
Without the outstanding performance of Cangsheng Court to attract Hua Yanyue, when the disciples joined the sect this time, there was no Second Elder who showed up halfway to ask her to become his disciple.
Leng Mushi naturally went to the outer gate and started her career of sweeping the floor.
She was observing Xiao Mian's reaction and attitude towards her. She used the little ability she had to get herself assigned to a remote and desolate courtyard. Apart from doing odd jobs during the day, she returned to her own courtyard at night. She would always see Xiao Mian coming with a lunch box when the disciples finished their evening classes.
Leng Tianyin became a disciple of the inner sect, and even Fenlian successfully became the disciple of the third elder. Of course, the third elder was not in the sect, and Fenlian was brought in by her senior brother, who was her lover Xiaomei.
Fenlian was not like Leng Mushi. She didn't want to go through the trouble of doing it again, so she asked Leng Mushi to awaken Xiaomei's memory. The two of them immediately became one and lived happily together.
Leng Tianyin became the disciple of the Fifth Elder, who was already looking for a spiritual object that could replace the magic bone for her. Everything was the same as in her previous life, yet completely different.
For example, Leng Mushi and Xiao Mian have never been so sweet.
Xiao Mian has become more and more diligent in recent days. Not only that, he also squeezes out his sleep time at night to read ancient books and find ways to strengthen Leng Mushi's spiritual roots and advance her cultivation.
Outer disciples also have quotas of resources, and there are many mental manuals suitable for their current spiritual roots, but because they lack aptitude, even if they are very diligent, their advancement is very slow.
While Leng Mushi was eating, she saw Xiao Mian holding a book about miscellaneous spiritual roots in his hand. Leng Mushi could guess what he was doing with her toes. She could actually behave very well, but she really liked the current state of her and Xiao Mian.
There is someone who doesn't despise everything about you and treats you well with all his heart. This feeling is so mellow that it surpasses the strongest liquor in the world. Just one sip and your whole body will be warmed up.
Leng Mushi didn't even have to bother thinking about giving him anything in return. She completely treated herself as a dodder that depended on him. Every day, she did nothing serious except saying nice things to him.
"My monthly allowance for this month has been issued," Xiao Mian said as he flipped through a book when he saw that she had finished eating, "It's all in the storage bag. If you see anything you can use, take it."
Leng Mushi wiped her mouth and looked at Xiao Mian with her chin in her hand as if she were looking at a rare fairy beast, "Can't I have both?"
Xiao Mian paused, then smiled helplessly, "There are two high-level spirit stones, which are not suitable for you to use now."
Leng Mushi was about to ask if you were reluctant to part with it, but Xiao Mian said, "But you can keep it for now. Remember not to use it, and don't let other outer disciples see it."
Leng Mushi swallowed the words, moved closer to Xiao Mian, and kissed his face with her greasy, not-so-cleaned mouth, "Brother, look at me, don't look at this, you come to my place for too short a time every day, it's hard to relieve the pain of missing you..."
Xiao Mian clenched his hand holding the book slightly, trying to hold on, but ultimately failed. He sighed, put the book down, and hugged Leng Mushi, sitting on his lap close to him.
He was indeed anxious to help Leng Mushi advance. He knew that there were several pairs of male and female cultivators in the sect. The elders turned a blind eye and often went out together on missions to eliminate evil spirits. He also wanted Leng Mushi to advance quickly and take her to travel around the human world. She didn't need to do anything, just follow them and broaden her horizons. Anyway, he would protect her.
However, with a beauty in his arms, Xiao Mian had no resistance to a clingy person like Leng Mushi, so he had no choice but to indulge her and himself, thinking of finishing watching the rest when he got home tonight.
"I will go down the mountain to exorcise the evil spirit in a few days. The new disciple trials will begin in two months. You can enter the inner gate to watch the battles then. It will be very helpful to you. I have asked Brother Yi Tu and Brother Xing Zhou to look after you."
Leng Mushi responded vaguely. She had no interest in fighting with the new inner sect disciples. However, before that, she did have something she wanted to do.
So on the second day, Leng Mushi, who had been quiet for more than a month, had a conflict with the inner sect disciples. It was none other than Zhu Rong's group of little sisters.
Outer disciples have always been afraid to confront inner disciples. After all, inner disciples are like those born by their biological mothers, while outer disciples are raised by their stepmothers. If something goes wrong, the outer disciples will always be sent away by Taichu Mountain first.
Leng Mushi and Zhu Rong were fighting each other until their hair was all over the floor. They were finally pulled apart and the disciples from the Punishment Hall took them away for interrogation.
The cause was naturally Xiao Mian, who was soon called to the Punishment Hall. Leng Mushi knelt in the hall with disheveled hair, thoughts coming one after another in her mind, and she couldn't help laughing.
Zhu Rong's hair was also extremely messy, but she managed to tidy it up herself, and there were only some slight red marks on her face.
She actually felt very strange in her heart, because when she was fighting with Leng Mushi just now, she wanted to use her spiritual power to push her away, but she couldn't use any spiritual power at all.
They had quarreled because of Xiao Mian. It was no secret in the sect that Zhu Rong liked Xiao Mian. There were many female cultivators who liked Xiao Mian. After all, he was talented and kind-hearted, and he always took extra care of others when he went out for trials with the sect's disciples.
Zhu Rong was saved by Xiao Mian once, so she liked him so much that she gave him the dried meat of Chenhuo Beast. Unfortunately, Xiao Mian only said it was an exchange and also gave her the curse-removing pill.
Zhu Rong had been keeping it a secret, imagining that Xiao Mian was also somewhat interested in her. Unexpectedly, this outer sect disciple not only mocked her, but also said that Xiao Mian and she were a couple
ha.
It was such a joke. Zhu Rong was almost mad with anger. She acted on impulse and did it.
However, in a pure struggle, she didn't get any advantage over Leng Mushi, and was even hit a few times by the broom handle in her hand.
Zhu Rong was not convinced. When she saw Xiao Mian coming in, she immediately looked at him with tears in her eyes. She seemed to be hesitant to speak, and her eyes were full of tears. She looked so pitiful.
In comparison, Leng Mushi's uncontrolled madness looked miserable and not worthy of sympathy.
However, when Xiao Mian arrived, he frowned when he saw Leng Mushi like that. There was no need to alarm the elders about this matter, and it should be decided by Yin Qiao, a disciple of the Punishment Hall.
He said to Xiao Mian, "These two female cultivators fought each other because of you." When Yin Qiao said this, he glanced at Xiao Mian and thought that this boy was quite popular with women.
Xiao Mian looked at the dark and haggard face. If Yuan Yang had not been still there, Yin Qiao would have suspected that he was indulging himself in excessive sexual activities with so many girls around.
"That outer disciple insisted that you and she were a couple, and this matter was caused by her words," Yin Qiao said, "If this matter gets to the ears of the elders, no one will suffer the consequences, so let's end it here."
Xiao Mian pursed his lips slightly, and Yin Qiao misunderstood, thinking that this was just the two female cultivators' jealous prank, which annoyed him.
A final decision had to be made immediately. Zhu Rong and her accomplices, the sisters, had to be punished by sweeping the long steps and helping out in the Five Grains Hall. As for the outer sect disciple whose spiritual roots were extremely rare in the world, they would be sent down the mountain.
But just as he was about to speak, Xiao Mian said, "She is not talking nonsense. I am indeed planning to become her Taoist partner."
As soon as Xiao Mian finished speaking, all the disciples of the Punishment Hall in the entire hall were stunned, and their expressions became more complicated.
Zhu Rong was stunned, tears streaming down her face, not sure if she was feeling wronged or something else. Xiao Mian walked to Leng Mushi's side, frowned slightly and looked at the bloody scratch on her neck, then glanced at Zhu Rong obliquely.
Because of Xiao Mian's look, Zhu Rong almost knelt down in the main hall of the Punishment Hall and cried out of grievance and shame. Because no matter who looked at her, no girl could stand the fact that her lover liked someone else, someone who was completely inferior to her, and that person was dissatisfied with her.
Indeed, in Xiao Mian's opinion, it was Zhu Rong who bullied Leng Mushi. Taichu Mountain has always been biased towards inner disciples, and there is a huge gap in strength between Zhu Rong and Leng Mushi. But when something like this happened, the Criminal Law Hall only punished Zhu Rong, but sent Leng Mushi down the mountain.
Xiao Mian admitted his relationship with the outer disciple in front of everyone, and personally combed Leng Mushi's hair with a look of heartache on his face.
Leng Mushi leaned tenderly in his arms, and expressed her grievances with tears in her eyes. It was completely different from the crazy look when she and Zhu Rong were tearing each other's hair flowers and were only pulled apart by three disciples from the Punishment Hall.
The emotion called joy in Leng Mushi's heart was rising rapidly. Xiao Mian did not despise her for being a useless outer sect member who could cause trouble. He even acknowledged his relationship with her in front of everyone.
She was naturally very happy in her heart. Xiao Mian really loved everything about her just as he said at the beginning.
This time when she recalled the past, Leng Mushi couldn't help wanting to verify Xiao Mian's oath. She frantically wanted to know if he would still choose her if she had a different identity and situation and started from a miserable state without the memory of her past life.
The answer is yes.
Soon the news spread throughout the entire Taichu Mountain that Tianxuzi's favorite disciple was entangled with an outer sect disciple with extremely poor spiritual roots.
Leng Mushi was not sent down Taichu Mountain in the end because Xiao Mian was specifically scolded by Tianxuzi, but he insisted on being with her.
She even sweeps the floor with her tail up.
However, before the trial for the new disciples, Xiao Mian had to follow others down the mountain to exorcise the evil spirit. As soon as he left, Tianxuzi met Leng Mushi in person.
Leng Mushi was fortunate enough to personally experience the way the patriarch of a family used money to break up a couple as described in the storybooks.
Tianxuzi: "I promise you a life of prosperity and well-being in this world, and give you an elixir to keep you free from disasters and pains. You leave my disciples and go down the mountain."
Leng Mushi didn't laugh out loud on the spot, so she just bit her cheeks.
The author has something to say: Leng Mushi: If I am insidious, troublesome and useless... will you still love me
Xiao Mian: It’s always you.
