Chapter 79: Daily Life
Jiang Yun returned a loving smile to Yu Sisi, which scaring her so much that she trembled.
Jiang Yun noticed her actions, and the smile on his face froze. His heart was hurt. The once most obedient disciple had been traumatized by this damned little peacock.
This all started with him letting the little peacock peck at Yu Sisi and Xiong Ji every day.
Jiang Yun thought of taking on the responsibility of being a teacher, so he came up with different ways to train the two of them. However, he could not cultivate himself, and he did not have any cultivation techniques on hand at the moment.
Therefore, he set his mind on the little peacock, trying to squeeze some cultivation experience points from Kong Li. However, he could not make it too obvious, that was why it all ended up like this.
Jiang Yun wanted Kong Li to teach them how to use spiritual power to form a shield that could fit their bodies, so he had Kong Li demonstrate it once and let the two of them follow suit.
However, it was not that easy. To make a shield that was formed from spiritual power fit their bodies, not only did the caster need to have a profound level of spiritual power, but they also needed to be proficient in the use of spiritual power.
Kong Li had only learned it when he was more than four hundred years old. To ask Yu Sisi and Xiong Ji to learn it quickly in a few days was simply a pipe dream. Even if Jiang Yun assisted them with his full strength, they would not be able to do it.
On the contrary, because Jiang Yun had filled up the spiritual power in the barrier to the extreme while they were practicing, Kong Li absorbed it wantonly. The wounds on his body had healed a little, and his pecking in the afternoon was even more painful.
Another example was that Jiang Yun wanted them to learn how to use spiritual energy to transform into weapons. This was much easier than forming a shield. However, if the two of them were to use it flexibly when they were fighting with Kong Li, they would really be looking for trouble.
Kong Li did not even need to think. With a wave of his wings, a dense cluster of feather-like sharp swords stabbed towards Yu Sisi and Xiong Ji without any hesitation. Meanwhile, the two of them needed a few seconds to form a shield.
After their shields were formed, Kong Li’s sharp sword turned into a fog-like rope in the blink of an eye. The two of them wanted to disperse the shield that they had worked so hard to form and turn it into a sharp sword.
However, before their transformation was successful, they had already been tied up into two dumplings. After being pecked, their entire bodies were in pain.
Such things had already happened too many times in the past month. Every time Jiang Yun came up with a new idea, he would look at them with such a loving expression.
Yu Sisi was afraid. She really wanted to escape, but she couldn’t. She forced herself to calm down and controlled her hand that wanted to support her waist. She was her master’s first disciple, so she had to set an example for her junior brother!
Jiang Yun felt Yu Sisi’s tragic mood and instantly lost the thought of letting them learn how to cast spells in the water today. Look at how scared the children were.
“Go play.” Jiang Yun nodded casually and let Yu Sisi play to the side.
Yu Sisi was a little surprised, “Really?”
“If you don’t want to play, look for Kong Li. Tell him that I’ll let you practice in the water today.” Jiang Yun expressed his dislike for Yu Sisi’s happy face and said expressionlessly.
“No, I want to play. I’ll take my leave.” Yu Sisi quickly saluted and disappeared on the spot. She ran down the mountain with a face full of joy.
Yes! There was no special training this morning, so she could go down the mountain to eat Aunt Li’s steamed buns. It had been a long time since she had eaten anything warm.
Yu Sisi flew all the way to the foot of the mountain. After being beaten for a month, Yu Sisi’s movement speed had improved qualitatively. There was no need to ask for the specific reason. It was a disgrace.
Now, Yu Sisi only needed an hour to go from the Mount God of Heaven to the foot of the mountain. She could go down the mountain every morning without any training. She could just come back and get pecked before the special training at noon.
Jiang Yun did not want to keep the two of them locked in the barrier with himself. At most, he would give them a morning break every five days. Back when he was studying, he loved weekends. He could not deprive his disciples of their happiness.
When Yu Sisi went down the mountain, she met Xiong Ji, who was walking up the mountain. The two of them met up.
“Xiong Ji, there is no special training this morning. Master has allowed us to play.” Yu Sisi’s face was full of joy. She did not look like she had been pecked by Kong Li yesterday afternoon.
“That’s great. Aunt Li’s buns have just been cooked. We can still get them if we go down now.”
Xiong Ji was also very happy. This way, he could fix the fence at the foot of the mountain. He did not have to wait until night.
“Go, go, go, go!”
The two of them rushed to the foot of the mountain excitedly at an extremely fast speed. When they passed by the deer drinking water by the stream, Yu Sisi even stroked the fur on the deer’s back.
The deer was so scared that it raised its head. Its wet eyes were full of fear, but it could not find who touched it. In the end, it was relieved and continued to drink water.
“Aunt Li, I want six big meat buns!”
The voice came first. Yu Sisi saw Aunt Li’s steaming steamed bun stall from afar and shouted loudly.
“Hey! Okay, I’ll put them in for you.”
Aunt Li looked at Yu Sisi and Xiong Ji who had flown all the way down from the mountain and responded loudly. At the same time, she quickly put in the six biggest meat buns and divided them into two paper bags, one for two buns and one for four buns.
After Aunt Li finished packing, the two of them arrived at the stall and took the buns. Xiong Ji paid for them, and Aunt Li accepted the money without hesitation. If she didn’t accept the money, they wouldn’t dare to eat her buns in the future.
The two of them ate the buns as they walked. When the villagers who woke up early on the road saw them, they greeted them warmly.
“Miss Yu, Mr. Xiong, you’ve gone down the mountain again.”
“Yeah, we’re free this morning.”
“Hey! We went up the mountain yesterday and found a nest of rabbits. Miss Yu, do you want to raise two of them?”
“No, no, I don’t know how to raise rabbits.”
“Mr. Xiong, there’s a big hole in the roof of our house. Can you help us mend it?”
“Okay, bring me there.”
When he heard that someone wanted to help, Xiong Ji immediately followed them. Before he left, he looked at Yu Sisi,
“Senior sister, why don’t you go to Yang Xun’s house first? I’ll go over after I fix the roof for them.”
“Alright, go ahead. Remember to bring some snacks for the children when you come.”
The two of them exchanged a few words and then separated.
Yu Sisi went to Yang Xun’s house. His father, Yang Jian, had died at the hands of the He family. Yang Jian’s wife did not remarry either. Instead, she stayed by her son’s side and made a living by sewing clothes and doing odd jobs at other people’s houses.
Yang Xun was only eight or nine years old now, but he was already too mature to be a child. He went to school during the day and learned how to hunt with the hunters in the town at night.
It was mainly because Yang Jian was popular and loved by the villagers in the past. Even if he died, there were still people who were willing to take care of his widow and only son for his sake.
Yu Sisi and Xiong Ji also often went to his house. They would not accept money directly. Yu Sisi would always prepare some cloth and sewing to help Yang Xun’s mother with some sewing work. When she was done, she would pay for it as a form of help.
