It's Impossible that My Evil Overlord is So Cute Chapter 10

Chapter 10: The Call From Hell (8)

 

“Since he was sealed by your sect, do you know the hidden location of the ghost master?” Xu Shenxing inquired, “How about we hide in that place and wait until the suspect falls into our snare?”

“When my master told me the story, he just treated it as an anecdote of our predecessor. How could he have told me its exact location?” Qin Xingyan sighed reluctantly, “I can fly back to my sect to ask my master by riding with my sword, but my Sword Control is still unskilled; My speed will not be as fast as light. If you wait for me to bring back the information – As the old saying goes, ‘the day lily is cold’.”

“I don’t like to eat day lily.” Moli said and raised her hands above her head when she found no one payed attention to her.

“Go play on the computer; don’t trouble me.” Xu Shenxing said snappily and pushed Moli’s head aside. He asked to Qin Xingyan, “I have asked the God of Land to help us find out the suspect. So, it’s not too urgent.”

“Ah, that God of Land…” Qin Xingyan gave a complex expression. Obviously, she didn’t trust the God of Land’s ability.

“I think that even if the suspect saved the ghost from the seal, it shouldn’t be too much of a problem. He had thoroughly rectified his errors, right?” Xu Shenxing asked, not paying attention to the girl’s question.

“I also hope that’s true, but…”

Qin Xingyan bit her lips, and said with a serious expression, “There is a special design in the seal. If he has really repented for his sins, he should have already slipped out of the seal. However, that seal has not disappeared yet. If it’s not because he died, then that means that he has already transformed himself into a demon… I think since the suspect takes such a big risk to save him, he must be very sure that the ghost master is still alive.”

That was to say, if the suspect really saved the ghost master out of the seal, they would have to fight with a real demon, who has already practiced his power for more than a hundred years.

Xu Shenxing hasn’t fought with any immortal before, but from the Xianxia novels that he had read, the ghost master seemed to be very powerful.

The atmosphere in the room was getting heavy.

Xu Shenxing made a yawn and decided to end the conversation. “It’s late. Would you like to stay here tonight? Don’t worry, there are a lot of empty rooms.”

When the test of courage started, it was already nightfall, then after a series of events, the time right now was already close to midnight. Even an unromantic man like Xu Shenxing would never let a girl return to her room alone at this time – even though this so-called girl, could beat all the rogues in Jiangjin City by using only one hand.

“Thank you. I’m sorry to trouble you…” Qin Xingyan said shyly.

“It’s fine. Besides, I’ll be happy if you can try advertising my apartment at school.” Xu Shen shrugged. “You can use the bathroom, but because something has gone wrong with the water heater, there isn’t too much water in it. So, don’t waste water. As for clothes… Well, it should be no problem to wear my old clothes, right?”

“Maybe I was too suspicious, but why were you looking at my chest when you said that, senpai?”

The girl’s tone became a little unfriendly.

Of course it was because if your bosoms were too big, they couldn’t cram into my clothes.

And of course, Xu Shenxing wouldn’t speak it out. So he just smiled with a little embarrassment.

Qin Xingyan stared at Xu Shenxing for a while, then sighed and agreed to stay in Sakura apartment for one night, “Well, thank you for your kindness, senpai.”

When Xu Shenxing was reminded that he had not yet reviewed the math book, it was already the morning of the second day, when he was awoken by the alarm clock…

In the next room, Qin Xingyan tossed and turned all night.

Originally, she was an orphan, then the White-Hart Taoist Temple adopted her, that was why she could study with her master.

Spirit Qi 1 had became thinner and thinner in the world, but Qin Xingyan was talented, and her practice was also extremely hard, so she made rapid progress in her abilities. Her master had great hope towards her and thought that she might be able to become an immortal in 100 years.

As the proverb goes, it was impossible to make a cart behind closed doors. So her master let her go into the society, to observe the world and anneal her mind.

However, Qin Xingyan’s character was quite simple, or in other words, an one-track mind. Even though she was studying in the university, she was still living with few social contacts, as if she was standing alone in another world.

However, after Xu Shenxing invited her to stay in his house, it was the first time that she felt that she went into the society and had a link with others. It was the first time that she lived in a man’s home (although it was just an apartment), this made it so she couldn’t fall in sleep.

After midnight, when she still couldn’t sleep, she pulled back the bed sheets and meditated on the bed… In the past, meditation was just as easy as drinking or eating for her. However, she took a long time to force herself to fall into meditation this time.

When she opened her eyes, morning had broken…

Being awake all night wasn’t a big problem for the girl, but she still felt a little in a trance. She walked unsteadily.

After she washed her face and rinsed her mouth by using some one-time toiletries, which were prepared by Xu Shenxing, the girl patted her cheeks to gather her spirits. She put on her black rimmed glasses to hide her delicate face and then walked to the living room.

She saw that Xu Shenxing was already sitting beside a square table, eating his breakfast, leisurely looking at his math book – the food was still a bowl of rice congee, but eggs had changed into pickles.

Moli protested the breakfast, but Xu Shenxing ignored her as usual.

“You’re here.” Xu Shenxing heard a noise behind him and turned around. He looked at Qin Xingyan, who was a little disconcerted, “If you don’t mind, I have prepared breakfast for you.”

He hesitated for a while, then asked, “Can you eat? I’ve heard that immortals could fill their stomach by eating wind and drinking dew…”

Speaking of which, Xu Shenxing’s expression was filled with envy – he imagined that if he could survive without consuming food…just imagine how much money he could save.

“Not yet. I have not reached the level of Golden Elixir.” Qin Xingyan smiled shyly. She sat beside the table and said “Thanks” to Xu Shenxing, then picked up the bowl and sipped it.

“What’s your schedule like today?” Xu Shenxing put down the bowl and asked.

“I have a class this afternoon, but it’s not an important lesson; I can use a deceptive trick to let my teacher ignore me.” The girl thought for a moment, then she asked, “Senpai, what about you?”

“I have a makeup exam this morning… If I fail this time, I have to resit and pay for the make-up exam next time.”

The financial situation of Sakura apartment was quite poor and couldn’t suffer any new hit, so he must pass the make-up exam – even if this meant that he had to cheat in the exam.

“However, I’m free in the afternoon. Let’s ask the God of Land by that time.” Xu Shenxing proposed.

“Of course.” Qin Xingyan accepted his proposal.

 

Spirit Qi: Taoism thinks that the world is filled with Spirit Qi, and everything in the world is just a kind of polymerized substance of Spirit Qi. People can become immortals and get special powers by absorbing Spirit Qi. In ancient times, Spirit Qi was plentiful, so it was easy to become an immortal. However, as times goes on, Spirit Qi became thinner and thinner – till modern, it’s already extremely difficult to become an immortal. Most of Xianxia novels adopt this background.
