Has She Realized Her Mistakes?

Chu Jiuning was momentarily stunned by his question. She turned around and forced a smile, “I’ve been burned all over, it would only scare people if I remove it.”

Yue An met her gaze for three seconds and lowered his head, “I’m sorry.”

Chu Jiuning suddenly felt that Yue An was quite easy to deceive, as long as she appeared miserable enough.

Little Snowman: Master, I actually think he has quite a favorable impression of the current mummy version of you.

Chu Jiuning: ??? He likes me when I’m ugly? He likes me when I don’t take a bath?

Little Snowman: …It’s probably because you’re not as arrogant and domineering as the Chu Jiuning he knows. Instead, you have a touch of gentleness and melancholy, so…

Chu Jiuning: Oh~ I understand now. So he likes this version of me! No wonder when I asked Yue Chi to break off the engagement with the mermaid princess Xuanji, his reaction was even more intense than Yue Chi’s. It turns out he likes Xuanji, right?

Little Snowman shook its head. The Master is like a block of wood, impossible to think logically. It’s better not to say anything.

Chu Jiuning, on the other hand, was immersed in her own thoughts, secretly laughing at the shocking gossip she had discovered.

She never expected that Yue An, who had never put a good face on her in the third world, secretly admired her brother’s fiancée.

And in order to please the person he loved, he even went so far as to match Xuanji and Yue Chi himself. How great he was! But also quite thrilling!

“Junior Sister! What are you all doing?” Jian Tong’s voice arrived before he did.

Chu Jiuning looked in the direction of the voice and saw two Brothers approaching with serious expressions. “Brothers, you’re back!” She ran over with a smile to greet them.

Jian Tong, who rarely changed his playful and smiling demeanor, stared at her heavily, “What were you all doing just now?”

Chu Jiuning blinked in confusion. What did they do? Why did Jian Tong’s tone make it seem like she had done something wrong?

“We were just kicking the ball,” she shrugged. Fei Yu glanced at Yue An and then scrutinized her, “Just playing ball?” She shrugged again, “What else?”

Fei Yu and Jian Tong exchanged a glance. So they had misunderstood?

The two of them awkwardly looked away. Jian Tong brushed off the seriousness on his face and playfully ruffled Chu Jiuning’s hair, “Junior Sister is so well-behaved.”

However, Chu Jiuning could sense that something was off with the two of them. To divert her attention, Fei Yu quickly said, “Junior Sister, the treasure we dug up for you…”

Before he could finish, Chu Jiuning immediately covered his mouth with her hand, interrupting his chaotic words.

Fei Yu looked at Chu Jiuning, who suddenly seemed a bit crazy, and lowered his gaze to her hand pressed against his lips.

Although each of her fingers was wrapped in bandages, he could still feel the softness and a faint fragrance.

She hooked her arms around the arms of both brothers, “Brothers, let’s go over there and talk!”

Watching the three of them going away, Yue An couldn’t help but snort in dissatisfaction. Did she really think he was interested in that little thing she had?

He saw the three of them standing under a tree, not knowing what they were saying. Then he saw Jian Tong take out a storage bag from his pocket and hand it to her. She received it with a smile on her face, lowered her head, and sniffed the bag with a look of enjoyment.

Fei Yu and Jian Tong couldn’t help but exchange complex glances. It was only today that they realized their junior sister was not only a little rich girl but also a genuine treasure enthusiast.

Chu Jiuning suddenly asked the two of them, “By the way, Brothers, did you leave some for yourselves?”

Jian Tong shook his head, and Chu Jiuning exclaimed, “So you both stuffed everything into my bag?” Fei Yu said, “We’re not interested in these things.”

Because they were in the First Immortal Sect, as the personal disciples of the Sect Master, they didn’t have any expenses to worry about, and they also received a considerable monthly allowance.

Chu Jiuning was completely puzzled. She never expected that there were actually people in this world who didn’t like money. It was truly an eye-opener for her.

Jian Tong furrowed his brows, “Junior Sister, what do you mean by that look in your eyes?” Just a look of a fool.

She coughed lightly, put away the storage bag, and said, “It’s nothing, I just feel ashamed. You two are like untainted white lotuses, while I am like a rotten lotus covered in the stench of money.”

Fei Yu pursed his lips, “When we return to the First Immortal Sect, I’ll give you all the money I’ve saved, and I’ll also give you my monthly allowance from now on.”

Jian Tong covered his mouth and looked at Fei Yu. Hey! The usually introverted Eldest Senior Brother is surprisingly good at being considerate today.

“Junior Sister! I’ll give you mine too!”

???

Chu Jiuning’s lips twitched slightly, “Thank you, Brothers, but I appreciate your kindness. I have enough savings now, and I am content.”

When the two majestic Pixiu return, Chu Jiuning will also be ready to leave.

Xiu’er lay on the ground, allowing Chu Jiuning to climb onto its head, and then spread its wings to take her to a place where only the two of them could speak.

Only when facing Xiu’er did Chu Jiuning remove the gauze from her face, her eyes already reddened.

Recalling Xiu’er’s lively and adorable appearance from childhood, she couldn’t help but burst into tears.

She was truly grateful that after all these years, Xiu’er still remembered her.

Xiu’er continued to lick her with its warm tongue, wanting to tell her how happy and joyful it was during the years they spent together in childhood.

It wasn’t until the evening that Xiu’er carried her back.

Chu Jiuning held the two young Pixiu in her arms and assured Xiu’er, “Rest assured, I will take good care of them!”

Xiu’er glanced at the two cubs and then entered the cave with its mate without looking back.

Jian Tong was dumbfounded, “Junior Sister, did it really give you the two little ones?”

Chu Jiuning raised her chin proudly, “Hmph! I told you we were destined for each other, didn’t I?”

Jian Tong didn’t know what else to say, so she simply raised her thumb and gave a big thumbs-up in admiration.

Fei Yu looked at Yue An, “King of Sea, now that we have found the Dragon Soul Bead, we should take Junior Sister back to the First Immortal Sect, and you can return to the Sea Clan.”

“No!” Chu Jiuning ran behind Yue An, “I… King of Sea promised to repay me after the matter is done by letting me visit the Sea Clan.”

Throughout this journey, she couldn’t learn the Sea Clan’s power from Yue An because of Fei Yu and Jian Tong. How could she just go back like this?

Upon hearing this, Jian Tong immediately said, “Then, I also want to go to the Sea Clan with Junior Sister!”

Huh? Chu Jiuning frowned, wondering how to refuse Jian Tong, when Yue An calmly said, “What do you think the Sea Clan is? Can you just come and go as you please?”

And so, Yue An only took Chu Jiuning back to the Sea Clan.

Fei Yu and Jian Tong returned to the First Immortal Sect, and the lofty Jun Xu looked at his two disciples. “How is she doing? Has she realized her mistakes during this period?”
