I Find Her Disgusting Chapter 39

On Jiangyun Terrace, Yan Huirou raised her arms, barely maintaining her balance, and stood with great difficulty on a wooden stake.
She stared blankly at the object in Jiang Xidai’s hand, her gaze not moving for a long time.
Jiang Xidai stood not far away, holding a small and exquisite plum blossom dart between her two fingers. She sized up the hidden weapon in her hand for a moment, her expression a little nostalgic.
In the past, when her cultivation was not yet sufficient, she would often carry some poisoned hidden weapons on her body for protection.
Now, with her strength, she no longer needed such small things, but over the years, she had developed a habit and would still carry one or two on her, as if that would give her peace of mind.
“Sect Master Jiang.”
Yan Huirou said hesitantly, “Can I really dodge the darts you throw?”
“If you can’t, I won’t punish you,” Jiang Xidai smiled faintly. “It’s just a matter of blood splashing two feet, brains spilling out, hands and feet being cut off, or body and head being separated. How it will be depends on how you dodge.”
“…”
“I—”
Just as the words were spoken, a dart flew straight towards her like a knife, piercing the wooden stake under Yan Huirou’s feet, startling her so much that her feet moved and she almost fell off.
“Focus.”
Another plum blossom dart was thrown—
In her haste, Yan Huirou took a step to the side. The sharp blade grazed her temple, bringing with it a bone-chilling cold that made her shiver again.
“So slow,” Jiang Xidai frowned. “Be more agile.”
Then, two more plum blossom darts flew up like autumn leaves and shot out—
Yan Huirou closed her eyes. Before her, two shadows pounced like small black mosquitoes. She felt like she couldn’t dodge them. Just as she was in despair…
The plum blossom darts, as if they had a life of their own, curved and did not hit her. Instead, they hit the wooden stake beside her like a firecracker, exploding with a crackle.
When Yan Huirou opened her eyes again, she saw Jiang Xidai holding a brand-new plum blossom dart in her hand, still in the throwing posture, her expression cold. “What are you doing? Why didn’t you dodge?”
If she had accidentally hit Yan Huirou, Jiang Xidai would probably have to suffer for a few days before it was over.

“…”
Yan Huirou let out a sigh of relief. “Sect Master Jiang, I was careless just now. I will do my best.”
The woman snorted lightly and, with the dart between her fingers, shot them at her one by one, as easily as if she were plucking flowers and throwing leaves.
But for some reason, this time Yan Huirou was much bolder. Although her steps from one stake to another were still a bit clumsy, she was clearly not as flustered as before, and her movements also slowed down.
Why?
Jiang Xidai secretly observed for a while and seemed to understand the little girl’s lucky break.
Knowing that I won’t really hit her, she must have become complacent.
She threw a few more and, seeing Yan Huirou’s unhurried appearance, she became a little displeased.
This person really doesn’t know what’s good for her unless she’s forced.
Sect Master Jiang naturally had a way to deal with her. She took out a section of her waistband from her storage ring, folded it twice, and wrapped it around her eyes, tying a knot behind her ears with a light flick of her fingers.
The woman, her eyes covered with red silk, smiled, her lips curving. “Now it’s up to fate, Yan Huirou.”
Yan Huirou: “…”
Jiang Xidai flicked her wrist, and two plum blossom darts flew out from her palm, breaking through the air towards Yan Huirou with the force of a strong wind whipping through the grass, with no intention of holding back.
But in reality, this was just a show for Yan Huirou. For Jiang Xidai, whether her eyes were closed or not, she could feel Yan Huirou’s presence, so it wasn’t particularly important.
The plum blossom darts were thrown to scare her, closely following Yan Huirou’s feet, making a series of whooshing sounds as they cut through the air.
Several times, a few strands of her hair were cut off, and they brushed past her cheek.
She could clearly feel the little girl getting nervous, panicking and fleeing left and right on the few stakes. Once, she heard a muffled groan and a crash, and it was clear that she had fallen from above.
When Jiang Xidai heard her groan in pain, she herself subconsciously became a lot more nervous, but after waiting for a while, the familiar feeling of pain did not come.
Could it be that this time the buff’s judgment was… that Yan Huirou had fallen accidentally?
Jiang Xidai really didn’t understand this sometimes-acting-up buff. In any case, it was good that it didn’t hurt.
And so, Jiang Xidai became even more audacious.
Wen Xianyin had just finished her affairs. It wasn’t yet time for a break, so she obediently followed Jiang Xidai, waiting to see if the Sect Master had any extra instructions.
In the past, when Jiang Xidai was extremely bored, her daily instructions for her were mostly to find some delicious sweets, or to ask if there were any interesting things to amuse her.
In order to satisfy the Sect Master, Wen Xianyin always had to keep her eyes and ears open.
But ever since Yan Huirou had arrived, Wen Xianyin had become more and more idle.
After all, her Sect Master could play with Yan Huirou with great enthusiasm, even for a whole day.
For example, the blindfolded Sect Master at this moment, with a faint smile on her lips, was chasing Yan Huirou step by step with a wave of her sleeve, making her jump up and down. The smile on her face became more and more obvious, as if she had found some great new amusement.
Wen Xianyin didn’t have to do anything, and she was very gratified.
But this gratification was also mixed with a trace of sympathy for Miss Yan. She had never seen such a lively and agile Yan Huirou.
Naturally, there was also a bit of concern for Sect Master Jiang’s emotional life—the Sect Master’s preferences were really special. Was it really okay to treat people like this? Could it be that Zhan Ke and she had broken up because of this?
After the last plum blossom dart was thrown, Jiang Xidai still seemed to want more.
Wen Xianyin stepped forward and said, “Do you need a new basket? Sect Master?”
“No need,” Jiang Xidai rubbed her wrist. “I’m a little tired.”
She was a little tired.
And Yan Huirou, naturally, didn’t need to say anything. She was leaning against a wooden stake at this moment, hugging her knees haggardly, her long hair wet, and she didn’t look like she wanted to talk at all.
Jiang Xidai pulled off the red silk covering her eyes. Seeing Yan Huirou’s listless appearance, she smiled faintly. “Was it fun?”
Not fun.
So tired.
It was indeed very tiring, and it wasn’t just for one or two days.
And so Yan Huirou was tired for almost two whole months, climbing mountains, jumping on stakes, and standing in horse stance. The daylight rose from her cheeks every day, and the moonlight fell on her back. There was rarely a place on her body that didn’t ache when she moved.
Under Jiang Xidai’s torment, her originally soft skin became firm, and her paper-white complexion gained some color, with a hint of a rosy glow.
What was even more touching was that, whether intentionally or not—
Sect Master Jiang had cured her menstrual cramps.
For the past two months, Jiang Xidai could always hear the system constantly giving prompts.

It really wasn’t easy to reduce her favorability—but it had actually been reduced in this matter, which showed how much this little girl disliked moving on a normal day.
But why did it have to be added?
Yan Huirou’s favorability towards her had been increasing and decreasing endlessly. In the end, after a final tally, it was still about the same as before, and even a little higher.
Perhaps Yan Huirou was trying to convince herself. Unfortunately, Jiang Xidai didn’t care much about what she was thinking.
But one morning, Yan Huirou, dragging two bags of rice, climbed to the top of Sunlit Peak.
She was panting as she turned her head back. After a long time, she curved her eyes at Jiang Xidai. “So beautiful.”
“Beautiful what?” Jiang Xidai leaned against her umbrella, nonchalant.
Yan Huirou stretched out an arm, pointed at the sky, and her other hand shielded her squinting eyes. She smiled and said, “The daylight is waiting for people today. It’s the first time I’ve caught the sunrise on the mountaintop.”
As she spoke, the gushing morning sun illuminated her sweat-drenched profile, shimmering brightly.
The sun rises at about the same time. How could it be waiting for her?
It was just that Yan Huirou’s pace was faster. Compared to her wretched state two months ago, she was much faster.
What about the torment?
This little girl, after a period of being haggard, had actually become more and more radiant like a spring day.
Perhaps she should add some more weight. Now she didn’t have to worry about easily killing her.
Jiang Xidai raised an eyebrow and said, “Very good. You don’t have to drag these two bags of rice tomorrow.”
Yan Huirou’s eyes brightened, and she smiled again. “Really?”
“There are two pieces of black iron in the treasury. Use those,” the woman said with a gentle smile.
“…”
The bright light in Yan Huirou’s eyes dimmed a little, but she didn’t feel sad for long. She continued, “Alright.”
She blinked. She was no longer looking at the morning glow, but at Jiang Xidai.
Jiang Xidai was also admiring the sunrise, but her expression was much calmer than hers.
She was tired of the scenery of the Shasheng Sect, but a scene like today, with layers of red for thousands of miles and the rosy clouds dyeing the red forest, was rare. It was still worth a few more glances.
Jiang Xidai’s umbrella was suddenly held, and another hand climbed over. Yan Huirou shrank under her embroidered umbrella, then immediately let go. “It’s a little dazzling.”
“…Move aside,” Jiang Xidai said with disgust. “You’re squeezing me.”
Yan Huirou turned sideways, her cheek facing Jiang Xidai. “Is this position alright?”
Even worse.
Jiang Xidai tilted the handle of the umbrella towards herself, thinking to herself, This is a really fearless person.
She usually used her sword when she had nothing to do. Only when she wanted a quick battle would she open her umbrella.
This umbrella, infamously known as “Crimson Illumination” outside, but the little girl beside her had no sense of vigilance. She looked up curiously at Sect Master Jiang’s umbrella from this new angle, and even raised her hand to touch the shadow of the hibiscus flower on it. “Sect Master Jiang, your umbrella and sword are quite a match. They’re extremely beautiful.”
“Take it.” Jiang Xidai’s lips curved. She handed the umbrella to her. “You like it so much. Don’t you want to feel it?”
Yan Huirou didn’t expect her to be so generous. After a moment’s hesitation, she took it.
Jiang Xidai gently let go and took a step back.
Before Yan Huirou could even feel it, she was pressed down by the umbrella. In a daze, she had already fallen to the ground.
She felt as if she were holding not an umbrella, but a giant iron rod of immense weight.
“How…” she struggled against the surface of the umbrella for a long time but couldn’t lift this precious umbrella in the end. She could only poke her head out from a gap, looking wretched, and said in a small voice, “is it so heavy?”
Jiang Xidai gave her a leisurely glance. “Holding such a light and airy thing, how can you talk about being invulnerable to blades and spears? Do you think I’m carrying this just for looks?”
Jiang Xidai turned her back, picked up the umbrella, and held it on her shoulder as if it were nothing. “Let’s go back. Any decent weapon isn’t light. Although you’ve improved now, you’re still far from it.”
“Now,” Yan Huirou walked a few steps, slowly following behind her, “I’ve cultivated both internally and externally. Although I can’t lift your umbrella, I can at least lift that iron sword and swing it a hundred times. I never thought I could be so powerful. Just like I never thought I could stand here, basking in the sun and watching such a magnificent sunrise…”
The wind that had kissed the morning glow was golden, and from behind Jiang Xidai, it also brought over the female lead’s gentle and sweet voice—
“In short, thank you for being willing to stay with me all these days.”
Jiang Xidai stopped in her tracks.
