There's Something Wrong With This Account

19 019, [A day of Ji Li]

Along a winding mountain path, a slightly chubby young girl was briskly walking, carrying a small bamboo basket on her back.

Her bamboo basket held quite a few items, but she had been strong since childhood, so she didn’t mind the weight.

If this person wasn’t Ji Li, who else could it be?

A few days ago, her eyes had been swollen from crying, today was the first day they finally looked normal again.

Upon learning that Lu Xun was not dead, she volunteered to take care of him.

Now, Ji Li was dressed in the uniform of an Outer Sect Disciple of the Demon Sect.

If one were to transpose it to Earth, one could affectionately call it a school uniform.

The robe for the Demon Sect’s Outer Sect Disciple was very plain, just black clothing, with no patterns on the cuffs and no trace of any other colours.

Even the belt was black, accentuating Ji Li’s thin waist.

At the same time, the more delicate her waist, the more it highlighted certain areas.

She was currently on the way to the Small Study located on the back mountain.

Strung around Ji Li’s waist was a very inconspicuous jade stone; this jade was her access pass, allowing her to enter and leave freely.

Normally, as an Outer Sect Disciple, she would not have the privilege to enter the Small Study, but as Lu Xun needed care that others were not in a position to give, she bravely stepped forward, and thus Mao Nanbei directly appointed her.

Otherwise, would the task of taking care of him have fallen to me and the second senior sister?

I only excel at decapitating people with a single swing of my sword, I really wouldn’t know how to take care of someone.

Compared to the savage outer peaks and grand main peaks of the Demon Sect, this mysterious place in the back mountains seemed quite delicate.

Although this mountain was very high, higher than any main peak, it inexplicably gave people a sense of elegance.

This feeling was subtle, like seeing a woman over two meters tall, it would be hard to describe her as delicate.

However, once she climbed the mountain, Ji Li felt even more of this sensation.

The mountain was like a large, pruned bonsai, as if every spot had been carefully manicured.

Whether it was the stones in the mountains or the flowers and trees surrounding them, everything exuded a sense of beauty.

Ji Li mumbled to herself, “I must be thinking too much, this is probably just how the mountain naturally looks. How much time would it take to meticulously maintain a mountain! Who in the world would waste their time like that?”

Following the small winding path a bit further, she came across a small creek.

The small creek was full of just tiny fishes and shrimps, the most common type, but it felt full of life.

There were several big rocks crossing the creek which could be used to steer across.

With a slight hop, she crossed the creek, her bamboo basket bobbing on her back.

After crossing the creek, she still had to cross a bamboo forest.

Though Ji Li was merely a beginner in practicing the Qi Consumption Technique, she was already proficient in Qinggong. If this weren’t the legendary back mountain where she ought to show some reverence, she would have leapt through the bamboo forest using her Qinggong skills.

“Such a huge bamboo forest, it’s really beautiful!”

Even though it wasn’t her first time seeing it, she still couldn’t resist marveling over it again in her heart.

She never seems to get tired of the sound of rustling bamboo leaves when the breeze sweeps through. She thinks she could sit quietly for an entire day on a big rock in the bamboo forest.

Every time she passed through the bamboo forest, like each time before, she saw a woman meditating among the bamboo.

The woman was sitting with her back to Ji Li, cross-legged on a rock.

She was dressed in black as well, but somehow, it gave the impression of a Daoist robe.

Her hair was also very black, but it was tied up into a bun, and after wrapping it, a simple wooden hairpin was inserted into the bun.

How to put it, she really gave the impression of a Taoist nun.

Every time Ji Li came here, this woman would be meditating among the bamboo.

When Ji Li left, she was still meditating.

Each time, she could only see the woman’s back and had no idea what she looked like.

While carrying the bamboo basket, Ji Li bowed politely, and with her bowing motion, the contents of the basket almost spilled out, so she quickly adjusted it.

“I pay my respects to you, Elder Aunt.”

After finishing her rituals, she continued to walk forward.

When she first visited the back mountain, it was Mao Nanbei who guided her the way.

When she met a woman who looked like a Taoist nun, and learned that she was Mao Nanbei’s second senior sister, Ji Li immediately paid her respect, but the woman didn’t react at all.

The little loli later told her, “Second Senior Sister doesn’t like to talk and prefers tranquility. You should leave quickly after paying your respect, don’t disturb her.”

After crossing the bamboo sea, she saw the legendary Small Study.

The Small Study was indeed small, and had none of the fairy-like feel, instead, it resembled the shack of a recluse in the mountains.

At this moment, Mao Nanbei was sitting on the rattan chair outside the small house, enjoying the sun.

After all, she was a cat, and cats quite like basking in the sun.

Her eyes were slightly squinted, really looking like a contented kitten.

Ji Li greeted her, “Greetings to Young Elder … uh, greetings Elder.”

Mao Nanbei nodded satisfactorily.

Compared to the title of Young Elder, she preferred the title of Elder.

What part of me is small?

Can you tell me where I’m small?

Transformed creatures often retain some child-like innocence, and kids always want to be bigger.

“Despite losing a beautiful mount and somehow gaining a Little Junior Brother, I feel pretty good.” This was Mao Nanbei’s thought.

The little brother looked good, bringing him along was somewhat a boost to her face.

“Elder, can I go in now?” Ji Li asked Mao Nanbei.

The little loli nodded, her cat ears twitching in the breeze, she continued to bask in the sun, appearing quite lazy.

After entering the Small Study, Ji Li dared not to wander around, and directly went into the room where Lu Xun was lying.

Lu Xun, at this moment, still remained unconscious, but his body wasn’t so frail anymore.

Upon knowing that the old master had accepted this disciple, Sect Master Shen Yan pain-heartedly fed his new young elder a rare Spirit Pill.

People always use “Revival from the dead, bones regrowing flesh” to describe the wonders of Spirit Pills, this pill wasn’t as powerful as the first three words but it could definitely achieve the last three.

When Shen Yan took it out, all the Peak Masters around him gasped.

He was originally bald, without even eyebrows and eyelashes, coupled with an expression of pain, he looked very much like a sad boiled egg.

But thanks to this elixir, Lu Xun now has at least recovered a bit on the surface, his internal injuries were still not fully healed, but he was getting better.

Ji Li’s bamboo basket was filled with daily necessities, such as change of clothes.

The Demon Sect provided a quota to each disciple, and Lu Xun, who was now of noble status, had daily necessities that were way better than Ji Li’s.

However, when Ji Li’s cultivation base improved and became an Inner Sect Disciple, things would be much better.

She took the stuff out of the bamboo basket, put Lu Xun’s clothes on the hooks, and arranged the daily items neatly.

Before her family was destroyed, she was also the young miss in the house, the kind that had people waiting on her.

She had never served anyone in her life, but now, she willingly did it.

In fact, she was not used to doing these chores, but seeing Lu Xun’s face, she immediately regained her enthusiasm.

She took out a small porcelain bottle from her bosom, poured out an elixir, and fed it to Lu Xun.

It was also given by the Sect Master.

Lu Xun needed to take one every three hours, which would help his injury recovery.

When her little hand touched Lu Xun’s lips, she couldn’t help but blush slightly.

These elixirs were the kind that dissolved instantly when put in the mouth, otherwise Ji Li would have to think of some special method to let unconscious Lu Xun swallow.

But why was she a little disappointed about this?

“So, what should I do next?” she looked at Lu Xun and thought to herself.
