You don't want your secret to be revealed by others, right?

Chapter 69: 28, Yu Shiqi



Pretty big eyes, a small and perky nose, rosy cherry lips, and a palm-sized melon seed face with skin so creamy and touchable. One could say she was baby-faced beauty at its finest. It was just that her complexion looked a bit off after being poisoned. Lin Yue casually pinched her cheek and stuffed Detoxification Medicine into her mouth, saying, "I've saved your life regardless of past grievances, you must remember to repay my kindness." "Ah?" The girl in black felt like she had licked a finger with the tip of her tongue and swallowed the Detoxification Pill, somewhat dazedly saying, "But even if I'm poisoned, I'm not scared, I'd just feel uncomfortable for a while, I won't die..." Quite logical, that poison isn't effective... Lin Yue continued to pry, "But you kidnapped me, and I didn't take advantage of your poisoning to harm you, doesn't that count?" "That seems... right," the girl in black nodded, straightforwardly saying, "Alright, I owe you a life." Lin Yue laughed. He thought for a while and put the Bone-dissolving Powder back into his waist pouch. With such a brain, there was really no need for poison. However, why did he feel a sense of guilt as if he was tricking a child? Lin Yue suddenly thought of something Baili Fengzhi had said in front of this girl, "Pure heart," perhaps? Maybe that was why she was so naive? "I feel much better." The girl in black, groggy, sat up, her cute face displaying her naïveté and looked at Lin Yue sluggishly for a while, then suddenly knelt before him, "How about I kowtow a few more times for you." "Hey, hey, hey, don't, what good are kowtows?" Lin Yue hastily stopped her, "You might as well let me go." "Let you go? That can't happen," the girl in black immediately shook her head. "Why?" "Just... that won't do, choose something else." Lin Yue said with a slight amusement, "You just said you owe me a life, but now you won't even let me go?" "That's different, Master instructed me to save you, I can't be disobedient." The girl in black shook her head resolutely and then said, "What if... I don't owe you anymore, you poison me again, and I let you chop me a few times." Saying this, she conjured a sheathed knife from nowhere, placed it before Lin Yue, then raised her fair, slender neck, closed her eyes in fear, and bit her lip, "Go ahead and chop... is it okay if you leave me some breath?" Lin Yue was completely bewildered and somewhat annoyed, said, "I'll leave your head..." "You want my head?" The girl in black hesitated, "Although I have cultivated to the point where separation of head and body won't kill me, I can't stay separated for too long... Okay then, wait a moment..." She said as she held her head with both hands, pretending to pull it off. "Hey, hey, hey! Don't!" Lin Yue went pale and urgently stopped her, then helplessly said, "I don't want your head, what would I do with it? Can't you be normal?" "Oh..." The girl in black then stopped and carefully said, "But, I really can't let you go." "Why did you capture me in the first place?" Lin Yue asked helplessly. She didn't seem to harbor any intent to harm, this simpleton obviously lacked the brains for plotting. "To save you and help you escape," the girl in black replied as if it were obvious. "To save me?" Lin Yue was slightly taken aback, not expecting such an answer. "Yep, bad people are all over the place," the girl in black nodded. "What do you mean?" Lin Yue frowned. "Although I couldn't see it, Master and the others said..." The girl in black gravely stated, "The Patrol Envoy that came to pick you up is a fake from Tantian Sect." "I know, that fake Patrol Envoy was already..." Lin Yue was saying when he suddenly paused, frowned and asked, "You're not suggesting that the second group of Patrol Envoys that came later were also fakes, are you?" "Yep, they're all fakes," the girl in black nodded. "This..." Lin Yue naturally wouldn't just believe her, but he frowned and said, "Isn't there also the Confucian Sect's Bitter Sea Scholarly Boat up in the sky? And there are over a hundred soldiers from the Golden Armor Forbidden Army, are they also fakes?" "Master said, Tantian Sect has used all of its resources," the girl in black explained, "The Flying Boat up there is not called the Bitter Sea Scholarly Boat, it's Tantian Sect's prized possession 'Sword Seeking Boat'. The Golden Armor Forbidden Army soldiers are also Tantian Sect disciples in disguise." "Sword Seeking Boat?" Lin Yue asked, "Isn't Tantian Sect known for indulging in illusions and deceiving others for gain? Why would they pursue the Sword Dao?" "It's not the 'sword-seeking' in pursuit of the Sword Dao, but the 'sword-seeking' in cutting open the boat to find the sword," the girl in black shook her head and explained, "Master said, Tantian Sect is an oddity within the Demon Path, enjoying profits from others' work, be it sitting and waiting or cutting open a boat to find a sword." "Sitting and waiting, cutting the boat to find the sword?" Lin Yue slightly raised his eyebrows. He pondered for a bit and suddenly looked at the girl in black, asking, "Who is your Master?" "Master is Master," the girl in black dutifully counted with her fingers, "There's a Master, Second Master, Third Master, Fourth Master, Fifth Master, Sixth Master..." Lin Yue was getting a headache from her continuous chatter and interrupted her magic spell to ask, "Stop counting, how many Masters do you have in total?" "Eight," the girl in black thought for a moment, "But there's also a Ninth Master who is also my madam." "Eight Masters, Ninth Master?" Lin Yue puzzled. The girl in black nodded and said, "There's no Seventh Master because the Masters said Seventh Master died a long time ago." Lin Yue couldn't help but size her up and said, "You don't know the names of your Masters, but surely you know your own name, right? What's your name?" "The Masters call me Little Fish," the girl in black earnestly said, "I'm the seventeenth among Master's disciples, so I am also called Fish Seventeen."
