The Ancestor of our Sect Isn’t Acting like an Elder

Chapter 248.1 - Disassembled Mechanism Sword



248.1 – Disassembled Mechanism Sword

“Boohoo… you’re bullying… boo… Qilin, you’re bullying me… again…”

As if summer heat, the sobbing persistently wound beside Xue Qilin’s ears and intruded into her mind.

“Stop crying…”

Xue Qilin wearily rubbed her sore temples.

In front of her, there are countless components scattered all over the floor.

Originally, she just wanted to do the maintenance of her mechanism sword, to put some sword oil inside and so on. But unexpectedly, some screw was accidentally removed and the whole “Empyrean Universe” made a series of subtle and crisp sounds and fell apart in front of Xue Qilin.

While holding the “Let’s try to assemble it myself!”, “This shouldn’t be hard!” attitude, Xue Qilin tried to reassemble the mechanism sword. But it only got worse. A perfectly fine mechanism sword has been disassembled into dozens of parts.

“Boohoo… Qilin, why don’t you just leave it to Older Sister Ting! Look, look! It’s all scattered… Boohoo, my body — I won’t get married!”

“Sheesh, can you shut up?!”

Sitting cross egged on the floor, the annoyed Xue Qilin glared at the small jewelry box beside her.

In the box, there lies a sparkling and translucid gem. It is the soul stone that holds Phecda’s spirit. Its surface is covered with complex lines and symbols and its center is faintly flickering with pale blue light.

Xue Qilin was worried about the issue with the mechanism sword to begin with. But Phecda chattering, crying, and complaining beside her makes her even more restless. She lifted her right leg and picked up the gem with her delicate, crystal-like toes.

“Qilin, Qilin, do you think — uwah!”

The latter half of Phecda’s question was replaced by an exclamation.

Xue Qilin vigorously waved her leg, and the gem drew a beautiful arc and fell towards a corner of the room.

“Who’s going to marry a brat like you! Even if the sword hasn’t been disassembled, you still wouldn’t get married, okay?! You haven’t thought about the weight of the mechanism sword! An ordinary person would be flattened by you until they couldn’t be flattened anymore! Even if you take human form, you’ll just be a “fatty”! Who’d want to marry you!”

Xue Qilin looked at the place where the gem fell and scolded. As if playing marbles, the gem jumped back and made “click, click, click” sounds.

“Ah, Qilin, you’re detestable! You actually — actually… what should I do if those detestable birds come to steal parts of me!”

Unable to stand Phecda’s chattering, Xue Qilin hugged her head and scratched it.

“Waah, you still aren’t done! Make noise again, I dare you! See if I don’t turn you into an ornament for White Dragon [1]! Don’t you like to turn into a black cat?! By matching you with White Dragon, you guys will be inseparable! So, will you let mebe?!”

“Boohoo, bully… Qilin that’s bullying. I’m going to tell Older Sister Ting and ask her to teach you a lesson. I’m going to tell Older Sister Qi! I’m going to tell Older Sister Shui!”

“Go, hurry up and go!” Xue Qilin pointed to the door and yelled, “Don’t stay here and annoy me!”

Phecda cried loudly and jumped towards the closed door. Unfortunately, she has no body and thus cannot open it.

Seeing the gem jumping up and down and issuing sobbing sounds, Xue Qilin couldn’t help but gloat and burst into laughter.

“Ah, I’m dying from laughter. Weren’t you going to tell Little Seven? Hurry up and go — go!”

She rolled back and forth from laughter and pounded with her hand on the floor.

All of a sudden, the gem radiated intense light.

This means that Phecda is using spiritual qi. She probably can’t stand Xue Qilin’s sarcastic remarks.

“Wait –”

Xue Qilin promptly shouted in order to stop Phecda. But, she only managed to utter a word.

Bang –!

Following a loud and heave noise, the door was sent flying. Before she could worry about how to explain this to Qi Qiqi, a red-colored female figure coincidentally appeared at the place where the door panel if going to fall.

Upon noticing the flying “disaster”, the Merak Temple’s Temple Master widened her eyes in bewilderment.

Darn, it’s Little Seven! Xue Qilin turned pale with fright.

“Be careful, Little Seven!”

Whether Xue Qilin’s warning played a role or not, but Qi Qiqi raised her fist stiffly and prepared to meet the sudden attack of the door panel.

Then, as if an egg that hit a stone, the door panel was instantly pulverized by the fist.

“Hiss –!”

She shattered the door panel with an ordinary fists, without using true qi. Moreover, she didn’t seem to use much strength! While squatting down to dodge the flying debris, Xue Qilin gasped.

At the thought that Qi Qiqi would likely look into the reason why the door panel was suddenly sent flying and eventually blame her, the lass couldn’t help trembling. She slowly and stealthily moved her small feet, trying to escape before the other party reacted.

Unfortunately, things didn’t go as she wished.

A figure suddenly blocked in front of Xue Qilin.

She knocked into a pair of soft, well proportioned thighs. The fair skin exposed between the socks and the skirt is dazzling and enchanting. Xue Qilin couldn’t help looking some more.

“Qilin, shouldn’t you explain this?”

Xue Qilin, who is enveloped by a shadow, operated her throat with difficulty, and a sound of surprise escaped from between her lips. When she looked up to peer at the other party, she saw a most delicate face.

The bright red eyes look like whirlpools of fire, and the pupils in the center of the whirlpools are so deep that they seem to hold entire worlds.

Just this pair of dazzling bright red eyes is enough to make it impossible to ignore the girl’s existence at first sight. Not to mention that she has a devastatingly beautiful appearance.

Her sense of existence is overwhelming, almost like a kind of force that can plunder other people’s attention.

If the owner of this face wasn’t using it to outline a fake smile, that would be great… Xue Qilin issued two dry laughs.

“Little Seven, there’s a reason! Little –”

“Shut up! It was clearly your breath!”

With her hands on the waist, Qi Qiqi raised her beautiful eyebrows and looked down at Xue Qilin crouching on the ground.

Faced with Qi Qiqi’s retort, Xue Qilin felt like crying. Since Phecda is being nurtured with her true qi, she has the same breath as her.

In any case, whether she points at Phecda and Qi Qiqi believes her or not, Phecda has already run away to somewhere.

“Why did you dismantle the door! Fine, even if the door was broken and you wanted to replace it, why did you do something so dangerous! It was really dangerous, do you know?!”

Qi Qiqi restrained her anger, replaced it with an earnest and well-meaning tone, and then said, “What if it wasn’t me who passed by, but Qing’er or Younger Sister Shui? Would they be able to deal with it?! Has this crossed your mind?”

“Little Yun isn’t that weak!”

Xue Qilin murmured disdainfully. But unexpectedly, Qi Qiqi was able to catch it with her keen ears.

“You dare to speak back! Crouching on the ground, where are your manners? Sit!”

Xue Qilin issued a sullen “oh”, lowered her head, kneel-sat on the ground, and assumed an “I’ll carefully listen to the instructions” expression. Qi Qiqi sighed helplessly and rubbed the corners of her eyes.

“Really, what happened?”
