Chapter 5: A-Apologies, I Offended You, Miss
“!!!”
Lou Yunxiao felt a rush of heat shoot straight to the top of his skull. He sat up with a whoosh, but because he was blind and couldn’t control his body well, he banged into the bed railing with a thud.
Ignoring the pain, Lou Yunxiao spread open his burning hands. He was so ashamed he didn’t even dare to flex his fingers. He almost half-knelt on the bed, stammering:
“So-sorry, I offended you, Miss. I didn’t mean to. Please, please forgive me, Miss!”
Acting required going all the way, so Ning Ke’s transformed voice leaned towards a female tone—gentle yet cold.
Seeing Lou Yunxiao like this now, there wasn’t a trace of the ruthlessness from the dungeon. He even looked somewhat cute.
Thus, the displeasure of being woken up by someone grabbing his chest vanished. He shrugged and laughed: “What ‘Miss’? You stinking brat, I’m quite a few years older than you. It’s more appropriate for you to call me Sister.”
Xiao Yuan bickered in his consciousness: [Heh, Host, Ning Ke is a ten-thousand-year-old fox spirit. You’re not just older by a few years; you’re older by ‘a few years’ to the Nth power!]
veins popped on Ning Ke’s forehead: I’m twenty-something in reality. I am just a few years older than him! Stop comparing me to the original host all the time!
Lou Yunxiao couldn’t hear the conversation between him and the system. He only felt that the sister in front of him had a very pleasant voice. She was close to him, and he could almost smell the faint, cold fragrance on her.
Recalling the sensation against his fingers just now, his face burned until it almost smoked. His voice became even more stuttered: “Sister, I’m sorry. I really, I didn’t know…”
Ning Ke hadn’t expected this little cub to be innocent to this degree.
To avoid the other party saying shocking things like taking responsibility or offering himself in marriage later, he quickly spoke up to change the subject.
“When I picked you up in the Demon Abyss, your injuries were very severe.” He asked knowingly, “Can I ask what exactly happened to you?”
Lou Yunxiao was slightly stunned. The heat on his face gradually faded as he remembered to circulate his spiritual energy to check his current condition.
He discovered that the injuries he thought could never be healed had all been cured in a short time.
The end of the dream was all true.
His ruined cultivation and shattered Golden Core had all returned.
They were even superior to before!
If the sister in front of him had done all this, then he could never repay her kindness in this lifetime!
Thinking of this, he fumbled his way off the bed and knelt on the ground with a thud. Under Ning Ke’s bewildered gaze, he placed his palms down and kowtowed heavily.
“Sister, the grace of rebuilding me is unrequited. The day I avenge my blood feud, I will definitely dedicate this life to go through fire and water for you, Sister, without hesitation!”
Men have gold under their knees; they do not kneel easily. This is true among cultivators as well.
The male lead had never even knelt to the Heavenly Dao, yet today he knelt to Ning Ke.
It scared Ning Ke so much he quickly pricked up his ears to listen if there was thunder outside coming to strike him on the head.
After waiting a while and hearing nothing, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Coughing once, he explained, “You don’t need to treat me as some good person. I’m just used to being alone. It took so long for someone to fall into the Demon Abyss; it wouldn’t have been right for me not to save you.”
Since his sister wrote the male lead so miserably, it was only right for him to save him a bit.
Besides, he was doing this to complete the mission and return to his own world, so he didn’t really want the male lead to revere him so much.
He helped Lou Yunxiao up and continued, “I can see you’re a person with a story. Meeting is fate. Tell me about that blood feud; let’s see if I can help you.”
Lou Yunxiao opened his hollow, sightless eyes. Deep in darkness, he had become more sensitive to physical contact.
Ning Ke’s hair brushed past the tip of his nose. The cold fragrance gladdened the heart and refreshed the mind, causing his attention to wander for a split second. He quickly sobered up, hurriedly pulled away, and stood straight to one side.
Like an upright pine tree, his tone was mixed with a staidness and stubbornness that shouldn’t belong to his age.
“Sister, please do not belittle yourself. You helped me so; in my heart, you are a very, very good person. In the future, as long as you want it, my life can be returned to you at any time.”
Lou Yunxiao’s serious tone stunned Ning Ke slightly. Then, he heard System Xiao Yuan’s notification sound.
[Ding! Congratulations Host. The mission “Disguise as a Beautiful Sister and save Lou Yunxiao after the Liuyun Sect is tragically wiped out” is complete. Next, you only need to obtain the mission item to end the time regression and add ten days to your lifespan.]
Ning Ke asked: What is the mission item? Is there a specific hint?
[Xiao Yuan doesn’t know this either. The Host still needs to figure it out himself.]
Interrupted by this, Ning Ke wasn’t in a rush anymore. He glanced helplessly at Lou Yunxiao and replied softly to him, “Alright, alright, I know. I’ll keep your words in mind.”
Only then did he see Lou Yunxiao relax that solemn expression and turn to narrate his encounter to him.
At sunset, inside the wooden house, Ning Ke poured a cup of tea for Lou Yunxiao, then poured one for himself. He took a sip and chimed in.
“Mm, that Demon Sovereign Ning Ke really isn’t a decent thing. He deserves to be hacked a thousand times…”
What it tasted like to curse himself—he fully experienced it this time.
Ning Ke wiped a tear of bitterness for himself in his heart and took another sip of tea. Looking up, he saw Lou Yunxiao gripping the teacup so hard that cracks were spreading from the pressure point.
“I want revenge,” he said hoarsely. “But I am too weak. Now, relying on these blind eyes, I don’t know how I can cultivate at the fastest speed to a level where I can defeat him.”
Ning Ke recalled that in the original work, Lou Yunxiao only regained his sight in the middle stages, and those eyes were given to him by his junior martial brother before he died.
From then on, Lou Yunxiao truly rose up.
In the early stages, Lou Yunxiao was groping for the path of Dual Cultivation of Dao and Demon. Only when they were thoroughly fused could he accumulate strength and release it.
He couldn’t rush it now.
However, Ning Ke could use this time to give him some guidance.
Let him get his foot in the door first.
Thus, he opened his mouth and asked Lou Yunxiao: “Kid, have you considered the Dual Cultivation of Dao and Demon?”
