I Find Her Disgusting Chapter 85

“I think you,” the woman narrowed her beautiful eyes, her expression turning cold as she uttered a few harsh words, “are like a piece of iron.”
Su Yuxi was bewildered. “Ah, thank you.”
Jiang Xidai turned away in displeasure, determined not to speak to that lump of iron again. Her brow slightly lowered, “Yanyan, let’s go.”
Yan Huirou quietly took her arm, pressing the corner of her lips, as if trying to hold back a laugh.
“What are you laughing at?” Jiang Xidai also glared at her, her brow slightly furrowed. “Always meeting a bunch of weirdos.”
Yan Huirou’s eyes curved, a bit like crescent moons. She coughed a few times, but still laughed. “The conversation between you two is so cute.”
“You find it interesting, do you? Hm?” Jiang Xidai grumbled to herself. “I, on the other hand, feel like I’ve lost three years of my life.”
Suddenly, Jiang Xidai’s cheek was kissed.
Yan Huirou smiled. “A kiss, add three years.”
Jiang Xidai paused, then raised her hand to touch her cheek. She couldn’t help but glance at Su Yuxi.
The person was concentrating on picking through a few stones in her hand, neither hearing her speak nor looking up, as if she were walking while deep in thought.
Jiang Xidai unconsciously rolled her eyes and looked away. After changing from a cat to a human, the spiritual energy flowing through her body finally cooled her down a lot. She didn’t feel as irritable as before.
Yan Huirou asked, “…So what is the secret realm for? Do we need to find an exit, or are we looking for something special inside?”
Before them was an endless field of deep red, with flowing lava. Occasionally, a few jagged, strange mountains protruded, with spiritual ores hidden inside.
But Yan Huirou had no desire to mine, nor did she know how to refine stone.
She gently tugged at Jiang Xidai’s sleeve. “Sect Master, what am I looking for?”
This question really stumped Jiang Xidai. She was silent for a moment—the plot had now completely deviated from the original outline. What kind of fortune Yan Huirou could encounter, when she would encounter it, and how it would be triggered, was really hard to say.
“According to your thoughts, just walk around?” she answered, uncertainly.
Yan Huirou wiped her teary eyes, which were stinging from the smoke, and was silent for a moment before sighing—if it were up to her, she wouldn’t want to walk in this kind of place at all.
She would have turned around, walked out, left the temple, and would rather go back to the Shasheng Sect to be an imperial cook.
“Woof!”
For some reason, Shangshan, who had been listless just now, suddenly became excited and frequently bit and tugged at the corner of Yan Huirou’s clothes.
“Where are you going?”
The little black dog seemed very excited, circling Yan Huirou three or four times. It would walk and stop, as if wanting to lead her somewhere.
Yan Huirou observed it for a while. Since she had nothing to do, and the Sect Master insisted she find a way out, she reluctantly followed.
Jiang Xidai and Su Yuxi didn’t seem to have any objections.
Shangshan ran a long way, walking and stopping, sniffing around.
A black furball, on four short legs, moved quickly across the cracked earth, looking quite comical.
“Is this the place? What’s here?”
Yan Huirou squatted down and looked at Shangshan, who was digging at the ground with all its might. She reached out and touched the dog’s back, and Shangshan took her hand in its mouth and nudged it toward the ground.
Yan Huirou followed its lead and dug in the powdered earth, and touched something hard.
She frowned and found that the thing was bone-white.
Yan Huirou’s voice trembled a little. “A bone?”
[Beep! Detected the female lead’s important fortune.]
Jiang Xidai thought to herself, “…What? An important fortune was found by a dog? Could it be any more ridiculous?”
[Does the Host need to use the updated module “Worldview Encyclopedia”?]
“What is this?”
Jiang Xidai poked the module with her consciousness. During the last update, her attention had been entirely on the favorability interface, and the System hadn’t reminded her how to use this module.
After she poked the module, besides the normal scenery, she could also see a row of complicated text introductions.
[Tongming Hound. Often appears around markets, a great hermit in the city. One in a million, can distinguish true from false, identify rare goods, and find treasures, but is often overlooked. Its abilities increase with cultivation. Rarity: S.]
Jiang Xidai’s gaze was currently on the little black dog wagging its tail on the ground—a silly-looking lump.
She was slightly surprised in her heart, for the first time directly feeling the terror of Yan Huirou’s luck.
One in a million?
That day, Yan Huirou had just casually picked up four stray dogs from the market, and she had really hit the jackpot.
Jiang Xidai’s gaze fell, brushing past Yan Huirou’s palm, and stared at the small piece of white bone exposed in the ground.
[Bai Ze’s Remains. The bones left behind after the ancient mythical beast Bai Ze fell, faintly shrouded in an unusual aura. The Bai Ze mythical beast knows the past and the future. Rarity: S+++.]
Jiang Xidai nodded thoughtfully, feeling that this function was not bad.
She looked at Yan Huirou again.
[Original Female Lead, Yan Huirou. Gentle and kind, with a pure heart. Skilled at making sweet fermented rice balls, and likes furry animals.]
Quite fitting.
Jiang Xidai was satisfied and looked at Su Yuxi, who was standing on the side.
[A highly talented artifact refining genius, Su Yuxi. Introverted and quiet, skilled at forging magic artifacts and mining ores. One of the female lead’s good friends, and the future master of the Shenji Pavilion.]
“…”
Jiang Xidai glanced at this girl suspiciously. So introverted, and she can still lead one of the four great righteous sects, the Shenji Pavilion?
But when she thought of that old man’s cowardly appearance, Jiang Xidai was relieved. It seemed none of them were normal.
Jiang Xidai found this new system useful for once. She thought for a moment and demurely took out a bronze mirror from her Storage Ring.
Jiang Xidai aimed the mirror at her own face and looked closely.
[Bronze Mirror. Seems to be an ordinary, common mirror.]
She adjusted the distance, lifted the hair by her ear, and looked at herself seriously.
[Bronze Mirror. Seems to be an ordinary, common mirror.]
“I’m not looking at a mirror.”
[Bronze Mirror. Seems to be an ordinary, common mirror.]
“…”
[The number of uses has reached its limit. If the Host wishes to continue experiencing this function, please earnestly advance the main and side quests.]
Su Yuxi, on the side, looked at this senior looking in a mirror with puzzlement.
Just now, Yan Huirou had looked up at Jiang Xidai, who was lifting her hair, looking left and right, sometimes frowning, sometimes holding it further away, and sometimes blinking.
“What are you doing?” Yan Huirou asked with concern.
Jiang Xidai’s hand paused. She silently put the mirror back and cursed the System in her heart as “stupid.”
She pretended nothing had happened. “…Checking my appearance.”
“Right, in my opinion, that thing should be a treasure.”
Yan Huirou stood up with Shangshan. “Sect Master, it doesn’t look special. It’s probably hungry and smelled the bone…”
“No,” Jiang Xidai said. “It’s very special. Dig it out.”
Yan Huirou was surprised. “Why dig up bones? Isn’t that a bit inappropriate?”
“It’s fine, it has its uses.”
Seeing that Yan Huirou didn’t like to do this kind of thing, Jiang Xidai thought for a moment, then pointed a finger and poked Su Yuxi’s shoulder from a distance. “There seems to be a spiritual ore under that bone. Little girl, do you want to go and see?”
Su Yuxi was pulled out of her own world and, after wrapping her clothes in a daze, finally reacted to Jiang Xidai’s words.
Her eyes lit up at once. “Alright. Thank you for the guidance, Senior.”
With a flash of an afterimage, Su Yuxi quickly dug a hole three or four meters deep with her pickaxe.
Perhaps a pangolin digging a hole would be just as magnificent. The flying earth and dust sprayed out from behind her, making Yan Huirou cough for a long while.
Yan Huirou’s eyes were watery. She covered her nose and mouth and looked at Sister Su’s swift figure in shock.
Before she could even think, a large piece of land quickly disintegrated under Su Yuxi’s digging speed, revealing the massive and pure white skeleton of a mythical beast.
Yan Huirou didn’t recognize the Bai Ze and couldn’t tell what it was. But it didn’t look like a human skeleton, which removed a lot of the creepiness.
Su Yuxi, with a head full of dust, poked her head out of the pit and said in a low voice, “Ah, Senior, there’s no ore.”
Jiang Xidai curled her lips and smiled gently at her. “Really? Perhaps my eyes were playing tricks on me.”
Yan Huirou mimicked her. “Really? Which kitten is so naughty?”
Saying too much would lead to mistakes. Her cheek was pinched by the woman’s fingertips.
Yan Huirou covered her cheek and showed an innocent expression. A moment later, her eyes curved again.
But in the fine details, the pale, stark skeleton actually moved slightly. With a rumble, a call from ancient times came from the cracked ground.
Yan Huirou: “What is that sound?”
Who knew Su Yuxi would ask, “…What sound?”
Jiang Xidai probably knew that this was a fortune for the female lead alone, so she said, “Perhaps there are some things that only you can hear. Don’t be afraid.”
Yan Huirou was bewildered for a moment and was indeed a little scared of this that everyone else couldn’t perceive, and that only she could hear—especially since the sound was getting louder.
Like a sea wave, it was about to sweep her in, unable to escape, and unable to resist.
She trembled a little and took a step toward the sound.
Jiang Xidai let go of her and watched as Yan Huirou walked closer, step by step, squatted down, and finally knelt by the edge of the pit, placing her hand on the skeleton.
The sharp bone pierced Yan Huirou’s fingertip. She let out a soft “ooh,” and threads of fresh blood spread from the cut, flowing down the ribs.
To use the System’s analogy, it was as if a certain princess had finally left a drop of her blood on the fated spindle. The change awaiting her was both a curse and a blessing.
Yan Huirou suddenly felt a clarity in her mind, and her consciousness gradually fell into a void. Before she fainted, she felt Jiang Xidai’s hand support her.
And when she suddenly opened her eyes again—
What Yan Huirou saw were lingering red curtains and the fragrance of silk.
The fingers, painted with crimson, were like they were stained with fresh blood, beautiful yet dangerous, as they lifted her clothes.
