The Price of Confessing To The Wrong Female Protagonist Chapter 4-4

When night arrived, Yunge did not need to sleep, so she had always been meditating. After dinner, Yunge laid her unused quilt on the bed and meditated on it.

The child has not said a word so far. If Yunge does not move her, she will not move. Sitting in one place, like a sculpture.

Yunge carried the child to the bed. When she touched the soft quilt, the child's body was stiff. Yunge was baffled, then she suddenly reacted. The child rejects everything that is unfamiliar.

Yunge rubbed the child's head and looked at the child's unfocused eyes. She said softly, “This is where we sleep, don't you know?”

The child did not speak,. There was no movement in her eyes, but her stiff body had slowly relaxed.

Yunge thought that this was effective. At least the child had listened to her words.

“In the future, we will have to live here until your cultivation base is higher. When that time comes, you can be independent. Right, little apprentice, I will be your Master in the future!” Yunge thought it did not matter whether the little apprentice could understand her or not. Either way, Yunge couldn't stop talking.

The child she brought up in the modern times was basically the same, completely ignoring her. She was always not listening; So Yunge teased her to speak and she was finally still better. Yunge stopped herself from thinking more about it. Many things were buried in her previous life.

At night, Yunge hummed a nursery rhyme while patting the little apprentice to sleep.

Once the little apprentice fell asleep, Yunge sat up and continued to meditate for cultivation.

Currently, she was only in mid-rank Foundation Establishment. If she wants to accept an apprentice, she needed to reach Core Formation. The reason why her Master didn't fully prevent her from accepting the little apprentice as her eldest disciple was because Master was waiting for her to reach Core Formation and to not think too much.

The realm of cultivation: Qi Refining, Foundation Establishment, Core Formation, Nascent Soul, God Transformation, Refine Emptiness (Upper bound immortals).

(T/N- “化神，炼虚” I couldn't give those last 2 realms a more cooler name. Feel free to suggest some :3)

Although it seemed like going from Foundation Establishment to Core Formation was only 1 step, many cultivators have been unable to make this step for almost a lifetime.

Yunge sighed. She must hurry and take this step ah! Otherwise, how else would she give her apprentice a status? Without a status, cultivating Yunfu School's cultivation method wasn't possible. Yunge didn't think about letting her family's apprentice enter Yunfu School through the method of the sect's exam. This was because the sect wouldn't accept the apprentice just because of her talent. Even if she was accepted, their purpose would be unknown. Even the Masters doubt the pureness of their accepted apprentice's purpose. In the view of the cultivation world,'no matter how high the talent of a pure Yin body is, there is only one purpose.' This was the misperception of the cultivation world…

(T/N- Their so-called “one purpose” being a “human cauldron.”)

The next morning, Yunge prepared breakfast for the little apprentice and then went out of her cave.

Yunge went to the Merit Hall.

(T/N- “功德堂”)

The so-called Merit Hall is a place, within Yunfu, where various jobs are handled, such as: receiving monthly benefits, sect contribution points, ranked tasks, etc. It is also the foundation of Yunfu School. The tasks can be roughly divided into 2 types: personal and sect tasks. Most of the personal tasks are commissioned by disciples or elders of Yunfu. According to the difficulty of the task, the form of remuneration is varied. Generally, they would be sect contribution points, spiritual grass, talismans, medicinal pills, and magic tools.

Sect tasks, as the name implies, it is a task assigned by the sect or the sect's alchemy room. Except for traditional (1) disciples, there is no limit for the amount of these tasks that needs to be completed. Both Inner and Outer disciples must complete a fixed number of tasks. Although these tasks are not comparable to personal tasks, the sect will give certain contribution value as compensation. Inner disciples only have a quota of 10 per half a year, while Outer Gate(2) disciples are reduced to 3 months. ——But they are in paradise compared to the Outer disciples' monthly heavy jobs, which gave very few rewards.

(1)-“真传弟子” (2)-“外门弟子”

As for sect contribution points, it is a good thing because it can be used to exchange, at the sect market or the sect's other places, for rare things at a low price. For example, medicinal pills and another example: magic tools. People would often follow a sect that grows and prospers. This was one of the reasons why some rogue cultivators and small aristocratic families have worn out their heads to send their own children to the sect.

The disciples in the sect are divided into traditional disciples, Outer Gate disciples, Inner disciples, and Outer disciples.

The person who brings food to Yunge is an Outer disciple.

Only the eldest disciples of each elder are traditional disciples. The rest of the disciples can only be regarded as Inner disciples.

Seeing that Yunge came in, the elders of the Merit Hall, who originally had gloomy faces, suddenly smiled bright enough to make someone squint. Although that damned old man has shown off many times because of this eldest disciple, it doesn't matter. Just wait for their own eldest disciple and Yunge to become Dao companions. When that time comes…

Yunge felt that this elder smiles that once every time he sees her…

“Second elder…”

“I presume this is the first time Yunge came here. Is it to do a task?” The Second elder thought that his smile was especially kind, he wanted to give his own eldest disciples bonus points.

“…” The corners of Yunge's mouth twitched.

Yunge looked past him to see her tasks on the task board. Although she was a traditional disciple and wasn't required to do sect tasks, her monthly benefits was only enough for one person to use. Now there is one more person. It was not possible for her to look for Master for help. Moreover, she needs to take her little apprentice out for a walk. Always staying inside the Immortal's Cave wouldn't be beneficial to her condition.

“Level four Flame beast— 1 Ning Xin Core.” Yunge read out loud.

(T/N- “宁心丹一枚” I just assumed it was the name of the core..)

The elders took down the nameplate. Although it was a bit strange that Yunge came out to do personal tasks, especially such simple tasks. But after thinking about it, it was her first time doing a task. She was not arrogant, which is a good thing.

Many Inner disciples looked over as Yunge received the nameplate and left Merit Hall. Yunge felt extremely grateful for establishing her own image. No one had came up to her to strike up a conversation.

Before she arrived at her cave, Yunge felt 3 youngsters outside the cave.

“Senior Martial Sister！！” Lin Ling ran over and Yunge rubbed her temple.

“Senior Martial Sister.” The two Junior brothers obediently bowed their heads!

“Why did you think of going here?” Yunge looked at the three people. Has the little apprentice woken up yet?

“Martial Sister…” Lin Ling couldn't remain calm. “Martial Sister, did you want to accept an apprentice?”

“…” Master really is too much！！

“Martial Sister, you even let her go into your cave！！ ” Lin Ling threw a tantrum.

“…” When you were younger, if you and your 2 Junior Brothers hadn't messed up my cave to the point where I couldn't recognize it, then it wouldn't have been this way…

“En, I will accept…” Yunge suddenly remembered that she still didn't know that name of the little apprentice.

(T/N- “En” 嗯- the sound of agreement)

“I will accept the apprentice. Are you three not going to practice?”

“…” Martial Sister is so terrible！！！Now that you got an apprentice , you don't want me!

The author has something to say: I heard that if you don't write a “the author has something to say,” one would appear as high and cold. Today I want to be that cold person…

(T/N)End of chapter 4! Can you smell that? Quite a lot of vinegar in this chapter. :3

Happy New Year!
