I’m Inviting You on a Date (2)

Ji Qingzhou thanked him and stepped on the bamboo board with her bare feet, causing some echoes.

“The Water Drawing Technique can wash clothes.” Shen Rongyu informed her, “Draw water to wash yourself, then control the water to leave your clothes dry.”

“Elder Ye hasn’t taught us yet.” Ji Qingzhou replied, and her mind strayed to Ye Duanhong who had strangely appeared on the White Water Island. Was he the one who wanted to kill her? If it was him, why did he speak so openly about the Soul Seeking Nails?

“I’ll teach you.” Shen Rongyu originally wanted to teach her this simple spell, but he realized that her magic power had been used up.

While helping Ji Qingzhou absorb spirit qi to replenish her magic power, he narrated a strange story, “There is a kind of puppet among mortal children. As long as the mainspring is completely wound, it can move all day, and when the wound string loosens, it stops moving. You have to tighten the spring again.”

“I haven’t played it before.” Ji Qingzhou thought for a moment and replied. She had always wanted to try this kind of toy.

Shen Rongyu’s overtone had fallen on deaf ears.

“You are that puppet.” Shen Rongyu turned her wrist.

Her wrist slipped, and a feeble magic power filled her body.

It took Ji Qingzhou a stick of incense to react. Shen Rongyu had meant that he was winding her up.

However, at this time, she was already sitting in the bathtub in the room, soaking in her bath. She patted her cheek with water, making her flushed face even hotter.

She… she was not a puppet, but… winding her up? No matter how she analyzed his behavior, why did this sound so secretive and ambiguous? Why did it sound even more sultry than the Dual Cultivation that the system had mentioned?

Ji Qingzhou felt shy for some reason, but there was nothing else she could do to divert her attention. She could only lie on the edge of the bathtub, take the small mirror attached to the system, and dangle it in her hand.

She looked at her flushed face in the mirror, and called out to the system, “System, say something.”

“What can I say, Host? The moon is in full bloom, and the atmosphere is sizzling,” the system finally answered her.

Ji Qingzhou began settling accounts. “You lied to me.”

“There is no place on this White Water Lake you can escape to. He is the only safe haven here. Look, didn’t he save you? I told you, you have an innate talent for strategy.” The system felt that it didn’t do anything wrong.

Ji Qingzhou was annoyed. She confirmed yet again that this system was unreliable, and she would not believe it in the future.

“I’m going to drown you,” she fumed, and pressed the mirror into the water.

Of course, water couldn’t drown the system, so Ji Qingzhou soon felt too lazy to soak it. She used a wisp of magic power to wash her clothes with the Water Drawing Technique she had just learned.

She could now consume her magic power meticulously, trying to reduce the frequency of being wound up as much as possible.

When Ji Qingzhou walked out of the room, Shen Rongyu was wiping his Burial Snow Sword in the courtyard. The moon was bright, and the night had finally calmed down.

“Xiao Yu-shixiong, I’m going to bed,” Ji Qingzhou explained politely.

Her eyes were focused on Shen Rongyu’s Burial Snow Sword. She still remembered how the sword accurately destroyed the fulcrum of the Soul Seeking Nails, and it was she who had provided him with information on their weakest spot.

Ji Qingzhou felt a tremendous chill spread over her body… She didn’t want to reveal her abilities.

Her current ability was already enough to get her killed. If not for that question-answer session in the Formation Class, no one would have come to ‘visit’ her tonight.

Could she hope for Shen Rongyu to keep his mouth shut?

But he was a villain, ah.

Ji Qingzhou pondered for a while, and finally approached Shen Rongyu. She glanced at the sword, and then at his hand.

“Do you want to sleep here?” Shen Rongyu sheathed his sword, and asked casually. His voice was low and as gentle as a spring.

“The Soul Seeking Nails…” Ji Qingzhou was in the midst of organizing her words.

“I can’t keep pace with your analytical ability, Zhouzhou,” Shen Rongyu said

What he said was true, and only when he was at the peak of his strength could he have such a sense of accuracy in finding the vital points in a chaotic battle situation. However, at the moment, he had no profound strength to speak of, he was indeed inferior to Ji Qingzhou in terms of analytical skills.

He just wondered where she learned her skill from.

“Can you not tell anyone about it?” Ji Qingzhou whispered, her long eyelashes concealing the emotions in her eyes.

“Zhouzhou, is this a secret just between us?” Shen Rongyu turned his head, looked at the shadows cast by the long eyelashes on her cheeks, and asked languidly.

“Only you know now,” Ji Qingzhou replied. She wasn’t lying, because the system was not human.

“If you want me to help you keep a secret, of course you have to pay a price.” Shen Rongyu didn’t agree immediately.

He had no intentions of telling anyone to begin with. However, he also knew that Ji Qingzhou was too easy to fool, so he decided to tease her.

Ji Qingzhou immediately asked, “What price?” No matter how she thought about it, she came to the conclusion that Shen Rongyu would not make a very excessive request.

“The Xuanyun Sect has two days a week for disciples to rest and be absent from classes.” Shen Rongyu thought for a moment and said, “Just accompany me for these two days. There are several places within the Xuanyun Sect for fun.”

Ji Qingzhou frowned. She was wondering what kind of condition this was.

The system was anxious, hoping that Ji Qingzhou would agree quickly. It reminded her, “Host, it’s a date. Host, please agree!”

Ji Qingzhou immediately said, “Can you shorten it to one day?”

“Not for two days?” Shen Rongyu did not expect her to have learned to bargain.

“I’ll sleep for one more day.” Ji Qingzhou honestly admitted it. She always caught up on her sleep during her rest. Otherwise, she couldn’t withstand waking up every morning.

“Of course,” Shen Rongyu said as he gazed at her.

Ji Qingzhou felt dizzy, and immediately agreed to his condition of a day of companionship.

Drowsiness struck. She went back to her room to sleep, and when she climbed into bed, she yawned and asked the system, “System, you asked me to capture Xiao Yu, do you have any plans in place?”

“Of course, I have. I want you to warmly invite him to tour around Xuanyun Sect… the spark of love will kindle from you getting along… Wait a minute, are my ideas plagiarized?” The system was immediately stunned.

“System, you’re totally outdated,” Ji Qingzhou could not help but spit out the truth.

“Xiao Yu-shixiong is also earthy.” She covered herself with the quilt, rolled to the corner of the bed to hunker down, sniffed, and smelled the familiar scent, which was Shen Rongyu’s fragrance.

“Wait, whose room am I sleeping in?!” This question flashed through Ji Qingzhou’s mind.

But it was too late for her to dwell on it, because her drowsiness defeated her, and she fell asleep.
