Chapter 30: The villain’s little sister showered them with sweetness, infuriating the protagonist into another pants-wetting mishap.

“What?”

Ning Bei first pretended not to understand, then he feigned sudden realization and said, “Oh, you mean the yang energy; actually I was cultivating the Divine Sun Art just now.”

“Divine Sun Art?”

Qin Jiujiu’s delicate face shifted, and she looked incredulous.

In her understanding, although the Divine Sun Art did store yang energy, in such a short span Ning Bei should not have accumulated this much.

The next moment she suddenly thought of something and asked, “To what level have you trained it?”

“Let me think,” Ning Bei said, rubbing his chin, “maybe the third level…no, the fourth… the fifth, sixth, seventh, eighth, perhaps!”

“What?”

Qin Jiujiu looked as if lightning had struck her.

She stared at Ning Bei with the eyes of someone who had seen a ghost.

Although the Divine Sun Art was not an especially difficult technique, its principles were vast as the sea and could never be grasped overnight.

How long had it been since she gave the Divine Sun Art to Ning Bei?

How could he possibly have such terrifying comprehension?

“What’s wrong, Jiujiu?”

Ning Bei asked with a deliberately clueless look.

“I…” Qin Jiujiu bit her lip and said, “You progressed way too fast!”

“Really? Isn’t that a good thing?” Ning Bei said with a gentle smile.

“But…”

Qin Jiujiu hesitated and then said, “For now stop cultivating it, I will find you another suitable technique.”

“Don’t, I haven’t fully mastered it yet!” Ning Bei said in a hurry, “Trust me, Jiujiu, I will completely understand it very soon.”

Hearing this, Qin Jiujiu was genuinely frightened.

She could not worry about anything else and said directly, “Ning Bei, you must stop; the yang energy in your body is already excessive, if you continue you might suffer qi deviation.”

“What?” Ning Bei exclaimed in feigned shock. “Is it really that serious?”

“Do I look like I’m joking?” Qin Jiujiu said earnestly. “With your current cultivation, before you reach the Nascent Soul stage your body cannot withstand the effects of a fully mastered Divine Sun Art.”

“Hiss… then what should I do?”

“Therefore you must stop,” Qin Jiujiu said, looking at him. “I will get you a new technique.”

“But…”

Seeing Ning Bei still hesitate, Qin Jiujiu forced down her shame and said, “Have you forgotten when I had qi deviation?”

Ning Bei seemed to lose himself for a moment and stared at the girl without a word.

“Uh?”

Seeing this, the already nervous girl felt her heart race uncontrollably.

Out of nowhere she recalled that day’s taboo.

She regretted it bitterly; why had she brought it up again?

Little did she know, everything was part of Ning Bei’s scheme.

After his trick succeeded he even laid the fuse, saying, “I understand, Jiujiu, don’t worry, I’ll handle it in the future.”

“Mm…”

Qin Jiujiu pressed her lips together and nodded shyly.

She did not know what to say.

After that; the two of them entered the banquet hall.”Senior Brother Ning, Senior Sister Qin, sit over here.”

Wang Teng and the others stood up to greet them, waving hurriedly.

Everyone at that table had gone on the expedition, clearly gathering on purpose since they had survived life and death together.

At that table two seats remained, pressed right against each other.

Strangely enough, those two seats were stuck together, yet the spaces on either side were empty.

There were not plenty of seats left; in fact over ten people crowded around one table, and aside from those two seats everyone looked cramped.

Seeing the situation, how could Ning Bei not understand their intentions?

As he walked over he still asked with a straight face, “Isn’t this table too crowded? Jiujiu, why don’t we sit elsewhere?”

“Senior Brother Ning, we saved good seats for you two; your spots aren’t cramped at all.”

“Yeah, we don’t mind squeezing a bit; we’re happy to.”

“Senior Sister Qin, hurry and let Senior Brother Ning sit; our expedition squad has to sit together.”

At that moment everyone began to urge them.

Looking at the two chairs stuck together, even though there was space on both sides, Qin Jiujiu naturally realized what was going on.

Yet she did not get angry; instead she said to the hesitant Ning Bei, “Why not sit here? Everyone really wants you with us.”

“Sigh, all right then.”

Ning Bei let out a light sigh and sat down with a reluctant look.

Qin Jiujiu followed and sat beside him.

After sitting she intended to pull the chair a bit to the side, not because she disliked sitting close to Ning Bei, but because it was too conspicuous.

To her surprise she could not move the chair at all.

Seeing this, Ning Bei held back his laughter and said solemnly, “Wang Teng, why can’t these chairs be separated?”

“Oh, it’s like this, Senior Brother Ning,” Wang Teng explained with a grin, “we tried earlier too; it seems the chair legs broke and someone nailed them together. The banquet was prepared in a rush, and we really couldn’t find replacements.”

Zhao Ming chimed in, “Senior Brother Ning, since you and Senior Sister Qin don’t dislike each other, why not sit close for tonight and bear with it for now?”

“This…”

Ning Bei was about to object when Qin Jiujiu tugged his sleeve and whispered, “Forget it, squeezing a bit is fine.”

“All right then.”

Only then did Ning Bei stop pursuing the matter.

And so, under the gaze of everyone, the two sat pressed against each other.

For a moment neither of them dared speak.

People who did not know the chairs were nailed together watched and exchanged knowing glances.

Only Lin Yueyao, in the distance, trembled all over with anger at the sight.

Ning Bei was her man!

Just then Qin Yu ran over to soothe her, saying, “Yueyao, don’t be angry; I’ve checked…it’s because the chair was broken and nailed together, that’s why they’re sitting so close.”

“?”

Hearing this, Lin Yueyao looked as if she questioned reality itself.

Was the world really this melodramatic now?

“Didn’t you promise me to keep Qin Jiujiu away from Ning Bei? Why is she still not keeping her distance?”

Lin Yueyao snapped.

“I…”

Facing her resentful gaze, Qin Yu argued, “Time was too tight, Yueyao; I spent today arranging the banquet and haven’t had time to talk to Jiujiu. You know I’m a chief part-time disciple now, I’m busy!”

“Heh~”

A “chief part-time disciple”… Lin Yueyao almost laughed aloud.

She now wondered if she had been stupid back then, publicly distancing herself from Ning Bei for the sake of a mere part-time disciple.

Now Ning Bei had become a chief disciple, while the part-time disciple had become… a big part-time disciple!

At that thought she no longer wanted to pay Qin Yu any heed.

“…..”

Qin Yu felt bitter inside.

The girl who once saw him as her white moonlight was now so cold to him.

Yet he told himself privately that he would rise again soon.

Seeing that almost everyone had arrived at the banquet, Qin Yu felt the time was near, so he said to Lin Yueyao, “Yueyao, wait for me a bit; I’ll give you a surprise later!”

“What surprise?”

“Secret!”

Qin Yu deliberately kept her guessing.

He had already imagined that when he appeared before Lin Yueyao with Core Formation strength, she would be astonished.

Perhaps she would not even want to get back together with Ning Bei.

On the other side.

Ning Bei, who had been watching Qin Yu all along, curved his lips and muttered, “The show is about to begin.”

“Jiujiu, I’m stepping out for a moment.”

“Okay, I’ll save your seat.”

Qin Jiujiu said, lifting her little face.

Ning Bei smiled gently and left the hall from another direction.

….

In the academy’s forested hills.

“Master, is this how I set up the formation?”

After arranging the materials, Qin Yu asked the soul remnant.

A moment later the soul remnant replied, “Correct; this array can help master and disciple merge into one. Everyone is at the banquet now, so no one will discover us.”

“Master, after we merge… can I really reach the Core Formation realm?”

Qin Yu asked with anticipation.

“Of course,” the soul remnant assured him. “In a moment I must pull out of your body, and it may hurt a lot; make sure you don’t scream too loudly lest anyone notice.”

“Don’t worry, Master!”

Qin Yu clenched his fists.

To defy fate, he was ready to soil his pants once more.

No one would find out anyway.

Little did he know a figure had been hiding a hundred meters away, masking his aura with a ring so well that even the soul remnant failed to sense him.

“Ah~”

Qin Yu let out a miserable cry and hurriedly covered his mouth.

But he did not cover below…

Pffft~

“That’s way too nasty.”

Seeing this, Ning Bei frowned in disgust.

He leisurely recorded it with an image stone, and the instant the soul remnant flew out from Qin Yu’s brow, he drew the Divine Mirror and activated it:

“Hand it over!”
