Starry Sky Railway: The Slacking Sword Saint is Keeped by Fu Xuan

"You're clearly just a floor sweeper, how dare you arrest me! Put me down right now, or I'll tell the Grand Diviner that you're using her secretary to arrest people indiscriminately!"

"Then go ahead and tell her. I only accidentally touched her forehead and that's why I was thrown here cleaning. My secretary status is genuine!" Yu Chen curled his lip, then reminded her, "If you try to escape, I can always catch you again~"

Qingque was overjoyed. If you dare to let me go, do you think you can stay here any longer?

Since she's new here, she definitely doesn't know him.

If she slips away then, she doesn't believe that person in the vast Taibu Si (a government agency) will have the time and effort to find her!

Hehe, not being recognized is practically the same as leaving early and not being caught!

Perfect logic!

So, just like a toy car rolled up with zippers, she rolled away quickly into the distance as soon as she landed.

Qingque dashed forward for quite a distance without hearing any footsteps chasing her. She glanced back and saw the man who had caught her standing there smiling at her.

"Heh, I, Little Bluebird, am the best! Alright, alright, if I don't go out, I'll just be slacking off at my post anyway! A day of slacking off will pass by quickly."

She felt relieved and maintained that speed for another distance.

Then I saw a corner and turned...

pongo~

As if he had run into a wall, Qingque groaned in pain and was thrown back several steps, landing on his bottom with a thud.

"Ouch!"

Qingque's pretty little face immediately scrunched up; she felt as if her delicate bottom had split open.

Chapter 16 Hello, let's have a VIP membership

"What is this thing! How could it be placed in the middle of the road..." She frowned and looked up. When she opened her eyes, she saw a pair of feet. Continuing upwards, a familiar yet unfamiliar face was smiling at her.

"Oh, we meet again."

"Waaaaaah! A ghost!"

Qingque's eyes widened instantly, and she cried out, staring in disbelief at the place she had come from.

There was no one in front of the gate in the distance, but this guy was just there a moment ago!

Can a normal human move that fast?

She didn't know, but at that moment she only felt a chill suddenly rise from the bottom of her heart, and goosebumps rose on her skin.

"How rude of you! I'm so handsome, and you actually called me a ghost?"

Yu Chen snorted and glared at her with displeasure.

But Qingque just put on a mournful face and looked at him pleadingly, "Big brother, I'll burn some paper money for you, please don't come looking for me, okay? I was just slacking off at work, it's not a crime, is it?"

"..." Yu Chen was speechless for a moment, "I really am a human being!"

"You're talking nonsense! How could a normal person move that fast? You must be a ghost!" Qingque immediately retorted, a glistening tear welling up in the corner of her eye from the pain in her bottom and the fear in her heart.

"Ugh... I really am!" Yu Chen glared at her, but finally sighed.

"Feel it, feel it. You can't expect a ghost to be warm, can you?"

He sighed helplessly, and then reached out his hand to Qingque.

Qingque glanced at him furtively, then tremblingly stretched out her delicate pink hand and placed it in his.

"It really is hot! So you really are alive!"

Qingque's slightly surprised yet relieved voice almost made Yu Chen gasp for breath.

"nonsense!"

He yanked the girl up from the ground and glared at her with a hostile expression.

"If you don't give me a reasonable explanation, this 'skipping work and accusing me of being a ghost' thing today—I'm definitely going to report this to Lord Fu Xuan!"

The petite and unremarkable little bluebird pitifully rubbed the only fleshy part of her body, looking at him with a tearful expression.

"No... sir, if you tell that fortune teller Fu, I'm finished!"

She's caught me several times this month already, and I don't want to be sent around doing errands with Sister Xingxuan anymore! That feeling is unbearable!

"Who would work 12 hours straight, only taking breaks for meals and bathroom breaks... Isn't that a complete violation of the Luofu Labor Law? Don't you think so?"

Qingque gave him a pitiful look, trying to win his favor.

"Is it really that terrifying...?" Yu Chen imagined the intensity of the work and couldn't help but shudder.

This is a nightmare for someone like him who's a total couch potato!

But was Xingxuan really that miserable? Should I go talk to Fu Xuan about it tomorrow...?

After all, she didn't really monitor him for a whole day... she was even willing to work herself to the bone just to give him a chance to slack off.

It's so incredibly touching!

"Yes, yes! It's that terrifying! Sir, you must spare me! Living like that is worse than death for me, Little Bluebird!"

Yu Chen glanced at her indifferently. The girl blinked her big, watery eyes, held her small, white fists in front of her face, and looked very sincere.

"Beg me!"

Qingque's eyes twitched, but in order to slack off, she swallowed her anger, even though judging from his strange speed just now, she knew that he was definitely not someone she could handle.

She took a deep breath, gave him a shy glare, and cried out with her eyes closed, "Please...please!"

"Hmm, not bad, not bad, then I'll let you go!"

Yu Chen nodded, his mischievous pleasure perfectly satisfied, a look of pure bliss on his face.

"Sir, how did you become the Grand Diviner's secretary, and how did you end up sweeping the floor over there?"

Want to experience what it's like to be a hidden master?

Qingque wiped away the tears that had welled up in her eyes, and with a slight limp, she stepped forward and asked.

"How could I do it? Of course, the Grand Diviner would personally come to invite my party members to do it, just for sweeping the floor... It's just that she stuffed a fish in her mouth, why is she so petty as to make me sweep this lousy floor..." Yu Chen pouted unhappily.

If his acquaintances knew this, they'd laugh at him to death!

"ah…?"

Qingque was a little dumbfounded, her hands still rubbing her still-unrecovered bottom.

She had never heard of such a thing before: forcibly stuffing grilled fish into the mouth of Fu Xuan, the Grand Diviner!

Could it be that the Grand Diviner has been single and lonely for too long, and has finally come to his senses?

Qingque nodded seriously, indicating that she could understand.

They say women in their thirties are like wolves, in their forties like tigers, and in their fifties they can suck up dirt from the ground...

She didn't know how old Lord Fu Xuan was, but she could understand the needs that even mortals had.

Yu Chen noticed her subtle movements behind her back, pursed his lips, and asked, "Is your...butt alright? Should you take a day off to go to the Pill Refining Department to get it checked out?"

"A request for leave?" Qingque's eyes lit up, and her spirits lifted considerably.

"Ouch~ It hurts so much! I feel like I need to go to the Pill Refining Department to get treatment right away... It takes a hundred days to recover from a broken bone. This will take at least two hundred days to heal~ Ouch, it hurts so much!"

Qingque collapsed to the ground, lying on her side looking like a delicate and sickly young girl.

"Do you want me to take you there, or find someone to take you to see a doctor?" Although it was obvious that she was faking it, her limping appearance earlier was not fake. It would be better to go and see those guys from the Pill Refining Division as soon as possible.

After all, who knows if it might leave a lasting health problem?

"No, no, no, I can do it myself. I won't trouble you, sir, or you could ask someone to bring it to me!"

Qingque quickly got up and called out to him, but the moment she stood up, her little face couldn't help but wrinkle up.

Yu Chen chuckled, finding the young woman both funny and adorable.

"Um... could you please tell Sister Xingxuan that I went to see a doctor?"

Qingque asked tentatively.

"OK, no problem at all!"

Yu Chen readily agreed; it would only take a moment to say a word, so why not?

"Sir, let's exchange contact information so we can get to know each other better... When we're free, we can play mahjong together or something."

Qingque took out her phone with one hand while still touching her buttocks with the other, and looked at Yuchen with a smile.

But he just stood there staring at her blankly.

"Um... I've been in seclusion for too long, and I've never used this before. So I don't have it..."

"what?!"

Qingque exclaimed in disbelief, "There are actually modern people who don't need cell phones!"

Absolutely amazing!
