Spectating the Angsty Romance of the Master and Disciple from the Sect Next Door Chapter 30

She walked over, casually kicked the unconscious Zhong Fei, picked up the butterfly fragments, and tried to piece them together.
After trying to assemble them for a while, they still wouldn’t form a shape. Li Jin’an grew increasingly irritable.
The Black Butterfly’s antennae trembled feebly, and it said weakly: “The wings are on backwards… never mind, I’ll do it myself.”
It was a miracle this wisp of divine consciousness hadn’t been annihilated under such immense terror; it certainly didn’t need Li Jin’an pressing it to death.
Li Jin’an then saw that the Black Butterfly, which wasn’t small to begin with, transformed into an extremely miniature butterfly after reassembling itself, at least ten times smaller.
One must know that the Black Butterfly wasn’t a pure butterfly; it was a spiritual sense entity. This setback was equivalent to ten years of wasted effort.
Ten years! How many decades did a spirit monster have? It had to diligently lure passersby into illusions to absorb spiritual sense, willpower, and divine souls, and most mortals and cultivators were unremarkable in terms of spiritual sense and divine souls.
It had finally found six exceptionally delicious ‘meals’ at once, only to attract two scourges instead!
Take money from others, resolve their disasters.
The problem was, it hadn’t taken a single spiritual stone from Li Jin’an!
Li Jin’an was clearly standing right there, so why didn’t the Heavenly Dao go after her, the mastermind?!
After it arrived in human territory, it had read many books. They all said that if a spirit monster accumulated too much blood karma, it would be struck by heavenly lightning. So it had always left a thread of life when it ‘ate’, never devouring a person’s entire divine soul. Who knew it would still attract the Heavenly Dao!
It was wronged!
Li Jin’an said in a deep voice: “What are you looking at?”
The Black Butterfly, having lost all its strength and abilities, slammed itself onto the table, pretending to be utterly dead.
Indeed, human cultivators were the most black-hearted!
Why look at her? It wasn’t her intention. She was aiming for two birds with one stone, but didn’t it fail?
She was already heartbroken for not being able to become an unparalleled strategist; how could a spirit monster have the nerve to blame her? She hadn’t even blamed it for being so useless!
“Get up quickly! Go find Xie Huaixue!”
The Black Butterfly, on its deathbed, suddenly sat up in alarm, feeling as if struck by a bolt from the blue, and said in disbelief: “You want me to go kill Qingxiao Immortal Venerable too?”
Even more bewildered than it was Li Jin’an: “…?”
“What beautiful fantasy are you imagining? You kill Xie Huaixue? You’re not worthy!'”
The Black Butterfly let out a huge sigh of relief, and said decisively: “Yes, yes, yes, I’m not worthy! Absolutely not worthy!”
If it were worthy, what then?
Thankfully, it wasn’t worthy, otherwise today would certainly have been its doom.
Was facing Qingxiao Immortal Venerable any different from provoking the Heavenly Dao? At most, the method of death would be different.
The fingertip-sized Black Butterfly immediately fawned: “I’ll guide you right away!”
This time, it used the respectful address wholeheartedly, even developing a complex and subtle feeling of gratitude towards Li Jin’an, thanking her for sparing its life!
Even though it knew all the suffering it had endured was caused by Li Jin’an, it had to admit that Li Jin’an had let it off easy.
As for resenting Li Jin’an? When the Heavenly Dao directed its anger at it instead of precisely striking Li Jin’an, the true culprit, it understood.
—This damned Lancang Continent has no place for spirit monsters.
“Should we bring this unconscious newlywed? On the way, you can severely torment her to vent your anger!'”
Li Jin’an looked down, and casually gave Zhong Fei another kick, this time directly kicking her under the bed. Out of sight, out of mind. “No.”
That works too, saving it from flattering the Sword Sovereign only to offend the Immortal Venerable, pleasing neither side.
Walking on the street, Li Jin’an no longer had the carefree mood she had when she first came to Purpleleaf Town for sightseeing. She crossed her arms and said: “Don’t tell Xie Huaixue what just happened.”
“Yes.”
The Black Butterfly wasn’t stupid. Although it was coerced, it was indeed an accomplice; this was an unchangeable fact. However, it thought Li Jin’an was feeling guilty, who knew that the next second it would hear this?
“You didn’t even succeed! How am I supposed to talk about this, you useless thing!'”
If the mischief had succeeded, Li Jin’an might still feel guilty. But since it hadn’t succeeded, she was still upset; she couldn’t feel any of the trepidation associated with doing something bad.
“…”
It had overestimated Jijin Sword Sovereign.
The person and the butterfly walked further and further astray, crossing most of Purpleleaf Town, until they reached the foot of the mountain where they saw Xie Huaixue’s silent standing figure, her robes fluttering, her white attire austere.
The Black Butterfly, which only half-understood human affairs, was about to succumb to the Immortal Venerable’s graceful demeanor, but then it looked up and met the Sword Sovereign’s dangerous gaze, and immediately pretended to be a dead butterfly.
Li Jin’an took a few steps to Xie Huaixue’s side, looking left and right. “Why don’t I see Qi Lingzi and the others?”
“In an illusion,” Xie Huaixue explained.
Without needing instructions, the Black Butterfly leaped forward like a fish entering the sea, transforming into specks of light and merging into the space ahead. At the same time, the illusion before them dissipated, and they arrived in a deep valley.
