Something's wrong with this demon.

Chapter 165 Happiness

The scenery is even more beautiful on Yaofeng Peak.

Along the roadside, lush green grass and blooming flowers in vibrant colors; not far away, fields of medicinal herbs stretch out, crisscrossed by paths.

In that medicinal herb field, flowers of red, yellow, blue, purple, and other colors bloomed in profusion. Bathed in the glow of the setting sun, their vibrant colors vie for attention, creating a scene of unparalleled beauty.

The air was filled with a delightful medicinal fragrance.

Chen Ya was stunned by what she saw as soon as she stepped onto the Medicine Peak.

She stood by the roadside, her expression blank, her eyes gazing at the beautiful scenery before her. For a moment, she felt as if she were dreaming, as if she couldn't believe that she had suddenly come from the dark, decaying, and sunless Medicine Man Town to this beautiful fairyland that seemed to be inhabited by immortals.

"What a nice view----"

She murmured to herself, her expression as if she were completely captivated by the beautiful scenery before her.

Luo Qingchen also stopped and gazed into the distance for a while, facing the setting sun.

"Let's go."

As night was about to fall, he didn't linger and continued walking forward.

Chen Ya snapped out of her daze and quickly followed behind, her face filled with boundless anticipation and hope for a bright future.

"boom----"

The two quickly arrived at the cave entrance.

The stone door opened, and Luo Qingchen led her into the cave.

The cave is spacious, but rather dark.

As the stone door behind her slowly closed, Chen Ya's heart suddenly started racing again, and her cheeks flushed.

Luo Qingchen walked to the stone table and lit the oil lamp.

The dim light immediately illuminated the dark cave.

Luo Qingchen led her towards the stone chamber inside, pointing to one on the left and saying, "You'll live here from now on."

As she spoke, she took her package out of the storage bag.

"Um."

Chen Ya hummed in agreement, took the package, lowered her head, and walked into the stone chamber.

Luo Qingchen went in and lit the oil lamp in the corner for her. Seeing that her bundle seemed to be full of clothes, she asked, "Didn't you bring a blanket and pillow?"

T

Chen Ya blushed and shook her head.

Luo Qingchen took out a new set of bedding, sheets, pillows, and other items from her storage bag and placed them on her bed. After thinking for a moment, she took out one hundred taels of silver and handed it to her, saying, "There's a general store on the main peak. If you need anything in the future, you can buy it there. If you think it's too expensive, you can also buy it at the outer sect."

"Yes, thank you, Master."

Chen Ya lowered her head, her face flushed, and accepted his silver note.

"There's water and all sorts of daily necessities outside. You can go and familiarize yourself with it first. If you need anything else, just let me know. I live in the stone chamber on the right. If you need anything, just call me from the doorway."

After Luo Qingchen finished speaking, she walked out.

Chen Ya stood there for a while, then put away the silver notes and began to make the bed.

Luo Qingchen returned to her stone chamber, glanced at the door, and thought to herself: Should I install a door?

He sat back down on the bed and first checked his body's various data. Seeing that there were no abnormalities, he was about to close his eyes and cultivate for a while to see the effect when he suddenly heard a scream from the stone chamber opposite.

"what!"

Chen Ya screamed and ran towards him.

Luo Qingchen got up and rushed over, asking, "What's wrong?"

"Master, there's a mouse! A huge one!"

Chen Ya immediately hid behind him, looking terrified.

"What's so scary about mice?"

Luo Qingchen pushed her away, walked into his stone chamber, and asked, "Where is it?"

Chen Ya hid fearfully by the door, pointing under the bed and saying in a trembling voice, "It seems—it seems to have run under the bed. Just now, when I was making the bed, it suddenly jumped down from the wall—"

Luo Qingchen took the oil lamp and crawled under the bed to search.

「嗖

Just then, a fat rat, about the size of a kitten, suddenly darted out from the innermost darkness, trying to escape from his right side.

Luo Qingchen reacted quickly and grabbed it.

"Squeak—squeak—"

The mouse struggled desperately in his hand, making sharp squeaking noises.

Luo Qingchen, holding the mouse, emerged from under the bed, glanced at it a few times, and said, "It really is a big one."

"

Chen Ya was terrified at the door.

Are you afraid of mice?

Luo Qingchen looked at her.

Chen Ya nodded vigorously, her voice trembling as she said, "I've been afraid since I was little—"

"But you are a cultivator, and you are currently in the Demonic Sect, where you may kill people in the future. If you are afraid of even a mere rat, I advise you to leave here as soon as possible."

Luo Qingchen said in a calm tone.

Chen Ya bit her lip and looked at him timidly, saying, "Master, A Yao said—that you are afraid of centipedes, but I—I'm not afraid of centipedes."

The air fell silent for a moment.

"Can you really believe what that girl says?"

Luo Qingchen, her face cold, ignored her and walked outside, throwing the rat out of the cave.

It's a pity that Junior Sister Ye isn't here.

Otherwise, Sister Ye would definitely love to eat such a fat rat.

"Master, may I boil water for a bath?"

Chen Ya asked cautiously.

"Okay, you don't need to ask me about such trivial matters anymore. You can do whatever you want in the cave. There's no need to keep asking me for permission."

Luo Qingchen passed by her expressionlessly and returned to her stone chamber.

"oh."

Chen Ya hurriedly went to the kitchen to start a fire and boil water.

Half an hour later.

As Luo Qingchen was sitting cross-legged on the bed, deep in thought, Chen Ya appeared at the door. Her lips moved as if she wanted to say something, but seeing that he had his eyes closed, she hesitated to disturb him.

"What's up?"

Luo Qingchen opened her eyes.

Chen Ya quickly said, "Master, I've boiled some water for you. Would you like to take a bath?"

Luo Qingchen said, "No need, you go to sleep."

"oh."

Chen Ya said "Oh" but stood still.

Luo Qingchen stared at her and asked, "What's wrong? Is there anything else?"

Chen Ya nodded subconsciously, then realized what she meant and immediately shook her head, blushing as she glanced at him before quickly lowering her head and saying, "No, it's nothing. I'm going to sleep now."

She left quickly.

Back in her stone chamber, she sat down by the bed, wide awake.

After spacing out for a while, she got up and walked to the mirror in the corner, looking at herself in the mirror.

The girl in the mirror had long, black hair that reached her waist, with dampness still clinging to the ends. She wore a clean white dress, her chest was full, her waist was slender, and her figure was tall and graceful. She looked beautiful and charming.

"Is this really me?"

She stroked her face and murmured.

"But he doesn't want me at all—he won't even look at me."

After a long while, she sighed softly again, her tone full of melancholy and loneliness.

Back on the bed, she hugged her knees and sat down against the wall behind her, her gaze piercing through the dim space to look outside.

She seemed to be expecting something.

But the night passed quickly, and nothing happened.

"Aya, come here and warm the blankets for me."

Suddenly, the voice rang out.

Chen Ya sat up abruptly in bed, her eyes wide open, her heart pounding, and her breathing almost stopped.

"Yes, Master!"

Her cheeks flushed, her heart pounded with joy, and she was so flustered that she didn't even have time to put on her shoes. Barefoot, she was about to run over when she tripped and fell to the ground with a "thud."

"ah----"

She gasped and woke up from her dream.

"Whoosh—whoosh—"

She lay on the bed, her eyelashes fluttering, her eyes glazed, her chest heaving, breathing heavily, and she could clearly hear her own heart pounding.

It turns out—it was all just a dream.

After a long pause, she finally sat up in bed.

Suddenly, she realized that she was covered with a white velvet blanket.

This is not her fleece blanket.

She had never had a blanket like that before.

In an instant, the emptiness and melancholy in my heart were filled with overwhelming joy and happiness.

"My master built this for me; it belongs to my master—"

Overjoyed, she couldn't help but hug the blanket tightly to her chest, burying her face in it and gently stroking it.

"I accidentally fell asleep last night, and my owner quietly came to check on me—"

"Will I look ugly when I'm asleep? —"

"Was I drooling? Or was I talking in my sleep?"

Thinking about all this, she felt a mix of joy, shyness, and trepidation.

After hugging the blanket and lost in thought for a while, she got out of bed and walked outside, eager to see him.

However, when she arrived at the stone chamber opposite, he was not there.

She hurriedly went to the stone chamber in front to search again, but still couldn't find it.

He appears to have already gone out.

After standing there blankly for a while, she began to tidy up the cave.

She went to his stone chamber first, folded the quilt, tidied the sheets, and put away the pillows. Then she fetched water, took a rag, and wiped the entire stone chamber for him.

Back when she worked at the pharmacy, A-Yao did all these tasks; she didn't want to do them.

Now, she feels so happy doing these things.

"So it turns out that doing things can be fun too."

She knelt on the ground, bent over, and meticulously wiped the entire floor clean.

Then she went to clean other places.

By the time she had finished cleaning the entire cave, sweat was beading on her forehead, her body felt sticky, and her white dress was stained.

She boiled water again, took a thorough bath, and changed into clean clothes.

After washing herself clean and smelling nice, she carefully sniffed her body, afraid that even a trace of sweaty odor might remain and make him disgusted.

"boom----"

Just then, the sound of a stone door opening suddenly rang out outside.

Overjoyed, she immediately ran out.

"Owner!"

She watched him happily as he walked into the cave, her eyes sparkling and her face full of sweet smiles.

"Did you sleep well?"

Luo Qingchen glanced at her, took out a large bag of clothes from her storage bag, handed it to her, and said, "I saw a clothing store on the main peak and bought some clothes for you. Go in and see if they fit."

Chen Ya was stunned. She reached out and took the package, then looked up at him in disbelief.

"It's dangerous here, so try not to go to the main peak alone in the future. If you need anything else, I'll buy it for you. As long as you manage the herb fields well for me, I won't treat you unfairly."

After Luo Qingchen finished speaking, she walked towards her stone chamber, her attitude still very indifferent.

Chen Ya stood there for a while, rubbed her eyes, picked up the clothes, and happily returned to her stone chamber. She put the bundle on the bed, opened it, and took out the clothes one by one.

There was a red dress, a white dress, a blue dress, and two white martial arts outfits, and also—

She picked up a small pink garment, opened her eyes wide, stared at it intently, and froze, her face instantly turning bright red.

And a bellyband—

Just then, Luo Qingchen's voice suddenly rang out from outside the door: "The owner of the clothing shop is a senior female student. I told her about your height and build, and she helped me pick out a few outfits, which she then wrapped up. I don't know what clothes are inside."

Upon hearing this, Chen Ya's cheeks flushed even more, and she muttered to herself, "The book says that only those who feel guilty are eager to explain themselves. They didn't even ask you."

Although she was shy, she was actually very happy.

"Master, thank you. Aya loves it so much, she's so happy!"

She held a bellyband in her hand, her back to the door, her face flushed with girlish shyness and a happy, innocent smile.

At that moment, she felt that she would be willing to die for him.
