Chapter 54: This Seat Steals the Dessert

"Master," Xue Meng said, his expression instantly solemn, "he is the only one who does not have a nickname, and no one dares to make jokes about him in the whole of the top of death and life."

"Bullshit, that's just because everyone else knows you like the Master and won't tell you the truth." Mo Ran rolled her eyes, pulled Chu Wanning over and said quietly in a not-so-quiet voice, "Don't listen to him, I'm telling you, the most popular gag on the top of the dead is Elder Yu Heng."

"Oh yeah" Chu Wanning raised his eyebrows slightly, looking intrigued, "like what?"

"Like, ah, the polite ones, call him Bai Wuchang ."

"Why is it called that?"

"Because you wear white all day long."

"And?"

"Cabbage."

"Why?"

"Because you wear white all day long."

"And?"

"Big buns."

"Why?"

"Because you wear white all day long."

"And?"

"The little widow."

Chu Wanning :""

"Do you know why," Mo Ran giggled, oblivious to the murderous look in Chu Wanning's eyes, "because he wears white all day long."

""

If Chu Wanning hadn't been so calm, he would have been overwhelmed: "There's more, there's more."

"Ouch." Mo Ran looked at Xue Meng's face and whispered, "If I say it again, my cousin will probably lift the bottom of the pot off my head."

Xue Meng slapped the table, gritting her teeth and saying, "It's not like that. Who allowed them to make up such a story about the Master? What kind of cabbage and big buns are there?

"Ah." Mo Ran said, "You're not happy about that, you don't even hear what some of the female disciples call their master, it's so nasty."

Xue Meng's eyes widened: "What do they say?"

Mo Ran said lazily, "What else can I say? Girls are always talking in a literary way, about pale moon and pear blossoms, white snow in spring, Lin'an Chu Lang and Xizi Hualian. My goodness."

Chu Wanning :""

Xue Meng :""

"That's a good one. A gag like Elder Greedy Wolf, who is of mediocre looks and has a bad temper, is much worse."

Elder Greedy Wolf was the worst of the twenty elders in relation to Chu Wanning, who asked, "What is his name?"

"Winter pickles or snow peas, because they're black." Mo Ran said, smiling, "Moe, don't look like that, you're in on it."

Xue Meng seems to have swallowed the egg raw: "What I have too"

"Right." Mo Ran laughed.

Xue Meng, seemingly unconcerned, cleared her throat and asked, "So what do they call me?"

"Ping Ping."

"What's the solution?"

"Mo Ran twitched his shoulders and said these three words, finally stifling his laughter, "The peacock is opening the screen, hahahahaha."

Xue Meng leapt up and said angrily, " Mo Ran I will kill you"

It was already ugly when the three of them returned to the summit of death and life, full of food and drink. Chu Wanning let the two foolish apprentices take him to Elder Xuan Ji's domain and said goodbye to them. Xue Meng asked him to meet him again tomorrow in the bamboo forest, but Chu Wanning didn't know when he would return to his original form, so he didn't dare to say yes, but said he would come if he had time.

Only after the disciples had gone did he swept up, stepping over the tiles and beams, and returned to the red lotus.

The next morning, Chu Wanning woke up and was saddened to see that he was still a child.

He stood on the bench with a stern face and stared at the man in the bronze mirror for half a day, not even bothering to brush his hair properly.

"What? You met Xue Meng and Mo Ran yesterday."

"Yes, I said I was a disciple of Xuan Ji and they didn't suspect anything." Chu Wanning said. Chu Wanning said, "If Xue Meng asks you about it, remember to help me round up. I've been practising for more than ten days, but I'm not getting any better. I have to go and see Greedy Wolf."

"Ho-ho, we Yu Heng are so thin-skinned, but we're not afraid to be embarrassed today."

Chu Wanning gave him a cold look, but it was a much weaker look on a child, rather like a child gambling.

Xue Zhengyong couldn't help but be a little touched by how cute he was as a child and reached out to touch the top of Chu Wanning's head.

Chu Wanning suddenly said, "Your Holiness, when I recover, I beg you to ask the Raccoon Hall to cut me a garment for the top of death and life. Not a white one."

Xue Zhengyong was completely stunned: "I thought you didn't like wearing light armour."

"Change the look once in a while." Chu Wanning dropped the words with a black face and marched away.

Although Elder Covetous Wolf did not get along with Chu Wanning, he had to refrain from mocking him because of the presence of the Lord, so he did not mock Chu Wanning with his mouth, it was all in his eyes.

Chu Wanning Rustling raised her eyes and looked at Elder Greedy Wolf with an expressionless face.

The other person's eyes glowed and it looked like fireworks were going off inside.

Chu Wanning :""

"Madam Wang's diagnosis is generally good." After breaking his pulse, Elder Greedy Wolf let go of Chu Wanning's wrist, who immediately drew his hand away and lowered his sleeve.

"Then why has it been ten days and still no recovery?"

Greedy Wolf said, "Although the amount of sap from the Ancient Divine Wood is small, its effectiveness is strong. I'm afraid it will take a long time for you to recover."

Chu Wanning casually asked, "How long will it take?"

Greedy Wolf said, "I'm not sure, though, about ten years."

Chu Wanning's eyes widened instantly, and although Elder Greedy Wolf was still trying to tense up, the gloating smile in his eyes was almost spilling out, "Yes, you, ah, may take ten years to recover your original appearance."

Chu Wanning stared at him for a moment and said morosely, "You're bluffing me."

"How dare you, you are Elder Yu Heng." Greedy Wolf laughed, "I see nothing wrong with you like this, it's fine, it's just that your body has become smaller, your mind has slightly juvenilised, but it's minimal, not to mention your magic power is still there, what's the hurry to recover"

Chu Wanning's face was blue and he was speechless for a moment.

Greedy Wolf said, "But what about these ten years, it's not as if you will be childish looking at all times. This kind of juice travels in the same vein as your spiritual power. If you do not cast any spells for three or five months, you will also be able to change back to your original appearance."

"Xue Zhengyong's eyes lit up as if he had seen the light of day.

I was surprised when Greedy Wolf smiled slightly again and said, "Your Holiness, why are you in such a hurry? After Elder Yu Heng regains his original appearance, he still must not use too many spells, once he loses more spiritual energy, he will be swayed by the juice again and turn back into a child."

"How do you call it more?" Xue Zhengyong called out.

"Well, the sap is already all over him." Greedy Wolf said, "Two strokes a day at the most."

Chu Wanning's voice was as cold and hard as iron as he said, "The ghost world boundaries are often flawed, and refining and forging spirit weapons and mechs also requires spells, so if I were to make two moves a day at most, wouldn't I be an invalid?"

"Then I can't help it." Covetous Wolf said grimly, "After all, if the earth were to lose Immortal Beidou, the sun might not even rise tomorrow as usual."

Xue Zhengyong said anxiously from the side, "Covetous Wolf, don't say anything about the wind. Your medical skills are one of the best in the whole Xianxia Realm, so do something about it. Although Yu Heng's magic power is not affected, he is a child's body, and his skills are definitely not as good as before. Besides, if other sects find out about his injuries at Jin Chengchi, there's no guarantee that they'll get any ideas. Ten years is too long. See if there is any medicine that can"

Elder Greedy Wolf interrupted with a sneer, ''Your Holiness. Beidou Immortal Sovereign is tainted with the sap of the Ancient Divine Wood, it's not like it's just any common poison. You think I can come up with any method in a moment"

Xue Zhengyong :""

"Alright, I'm going to refine the pills." Greedy Wolf said slowly, "Please go back, you two."

Xue Zhengyong: "Greedy Wolf" He was about to say something else when Chu Wanning tugged at the hem of his coat and said, "Your Holiness, let's go."

The two men walked to the door, but then the voice of Greedy Wolf suddenly came from behind.

" Chu Wanning, if you are willing to beg me nicely with an open mind, maybe I will be willing to help you with your medicine. Although I have never seen your situation before, it may not be impossible to deal with it, so consider it"

"" Chu Wanning turned back, "What would it take for you to be vain?"

Covetous Wolf was leaning between the couch, lazily gluing the silver needle cushion bag on the table, and when he heard this, he raised his eyes slightly, his eyes flickering with sarcasm and mockery: "When others are desperate, they all kowtow for help. If you kneel down and say a few good words to me, I will help you."

Chu Wanning didn't say anything and looked at him coldly.

It took a moment before he said, "Winter pickles, I see you're not awake."

After speaking, he waved his sleeve and left. He left Covetous Wolf sitting alone, dumbfounded and unable to figure out what the winter pickle meant for half a day.

As the days passed, Elder Yu Heng claimed to be in seclusion, but in fact he was trapped in the body of a child and could not get out. Xue Zhengyong, Madam Wang and Elder Greedy Wolf knew about this incident, and later, in order not to reveal the truth, Elder Xuan Ji also heard about this strange incident.

A few months have passed and the red lotus has been closed for a long time, so Xue Meng and the others are a bit worried.

"Master has been in seclusion for over seventy days, why hasn't he come out yet"

"Maybe the spiritual power is about to be refined again." Shi Mei took a sip of the Lingshan Mountain rain dew in her tealight and raised her eyes to the cloudy sky outside the window, "It's going to snow, it's going to be little cold soon, and I don't know if Master will be able to get out before New Year's Eve."

Mo Ran is lazily flipping through the sword book, sniffing, "I guess it can't come out, he used the begonia flower a few days ago to send us a message, didn't he say it was still a long time ago? I think it's quite mysterious."

It was a day of leisure at the summit of death and life, when the disciples did not need to practise. Mo Ran and the three of them gathered together to make tea and wine. In the small courtyard pavilion, the bamboo curtain was half-rolled and the curtain was shallowly covered, with a misty vapour escaping from beneath.

Recently, they have been joined by Xia Sini, a young disciple of Elder Xuan Ji.

Since the day he met Xue Meng, he has been dragged over every now and then to train and play with them.

The original three disciples of Yu Heng have inexplicably been joined by a younger one. Chu Wanning, who is now known as Xia Sini, is sitting at a table eating a pastry. He may be a gentle eater, but he is not slow at all.

Xue Meng glanced at it and froze for a moment, his gaze returning to his plate and saying in astonishment, "Wow, little brother, who did you inherit that amount of food from?"

Chu Wanning chewed his cinnamon cake slowly and deliberately, it was so good that he didn't even want to pay attention to Xue Meng, after all, he was being robbed of his food.

Mo Ran's hand and Chu Wanning's hand landed on the last lotus flower pastry at the same time, and they suddenly raised their eyes and met in a flash of lightning.

Chu Wanning: "Let go."

Mo Ran: "I don't."

"Loosen up."

"You've had eight pieces, this one's mine."

"You can have everything else, but not the lotus crisp."

Mo Ran glared at the little guy for a moment and made a killer move: "Brother, you eat too many sweets, you'll get cavities."

"No harm done." Chu Wanning was cool, "I'm six, no shame."

Mo Ran :""

With a slap, Xue Meng slapped him on the face and complained, " Mo Weiyu, don't you hate it, you're so old and you're still grabbing food from your brother."

While Mo Ran's head was covered with an ache, Chu Wanning had already taken the lotus flower pastry with an expressionless face and a quick hand, and took a small bite with satisfaction.

"Shidoshi."

Chu Wanning ignores him and concentrates on his dessert.

The four men were buzzing when suddenly a sharp whistling sound pierced the sky and echoed throughout the top of the Dead and the Living. Chu Wanning's face sank slightly: "Set whistle"

Xue Meng lifted the curtain halfway and peeked out of the window to see, and the disciples walking outside also stopped to look, all showing rather surprised looks.

When the set whistle is sounded, all the clan members of the Top of Death and Life must gather in the square outside the Dan Qing Hall. This also means that the whistle must be blown only when there is urgent business. Before Chu Wanning joined the sect, this whistle was often blown when the ghostly boundary was broken, but since Chu Wanning joined the sect, the gathering whistle has not been blown for a long time.

Shi Mei put down her scroll, got up and walked over to Xue Meng: "How strange, what's the hurry?"

"I don't know, whatever, let's go and see."

Only Mo Ran didn't say anything, his lips pursed and the bar of his eyelashes dropping to hide the hint of unnaturalness that passed through his eyes. He knew what the whistle meant, it was just that it had happened at a slightly different time than he remembered and he hadn't expected it to come so quickly

As the four arrived at the top of Death and Life, the disciples arrived one by one, and soon the huge Danxin Square was filled with all the elders and disciples.

When the crowd is complete, Xue Zhengyong emerges from the closed doors of the Loyalty Palace and stands in front of the jade balustrade with its long, cascading green stone steps. He is followed by six beautiful women. The six women, beautiful or cold, were all extremely beautiful, standing in the wind, wearing only a single layer of gauze in the cold weather, and at a glance they all looked as red as a haze, their eyes like red flames, their silk ribbons fluttering, and a trace of flame between their brows.

Xue Meng was stunned.

Not only him, but almost everyone present changed dramatically at the sight of the six women.

Xue Meng froze for a long time before she murmured with a slight tremor in her voice, " Feathermen, the fairy ambassadors, they are from the fairy realm of Vermilion Bird"
