NOVEL NEXT Chapter 414 Heavenly Master 121
Mo'er will probably work in the Underworld in the future. Although the black cats of the Underworld are equivalent to police dogs in the mortal world, they share the same status as the Yin Cha and receive a salary, having their own Yin House! However, spirit cats mostly work in partnership with Yin Cha!
Lu Lei spent more than half a day close to Mo'er, and when he came out, his eyes were red. He gave Situ Shuangshuang a million because Mo'er was cultivating with Situ Shuangshuang. This million was the tuition Lu Lei paid on behalf of Mo'er.
However, Situ Shuangshuang did not accept it. Although she loves money, she doesn't take what she doesn't deserve. She keeps Mo'er with her not only out of pity and reluctance to let it reincarnate into an ordinary cat again but also because she sees potential in Mo'er as a spirit cat, which could become an impressive combat power when well-cultivated.
Now Mo'er is already Situ Shuangshuang's cat, so teaching Mo'er is Situ Shuangshuang's own responsibility, and she can't accept Lu Lei's money anymore.
Seeing that Situ Shuangshuang refused to accept the money, Lu Lei could only take it back and thanked Situ Shuangshuang repeatedly for saving him!
When leaving, Lu Lei asked Situ Shuangshuang to take good care of Mo'er. He intended to visit Mo'er frequently in the future and hoped Situ Shuangshuang wouldn't find his presence bothersome. If Mo'er caused trouble, it was better to focus on teaching rather than easily hitting it, he rambled on for quite a while! This time, Situ Shuangshuang was not annoyed by Lu Lei's ramblings and listened patiently until he finished.
After sending off the worried Lu Lei, Situ Shuangshuang could finally calm down. She went into retreat for nearly half a month before finishing Dong Wentao's Green Dragon Jade.
With the Green Dragon Jade, Dong Wentao, knowing its effects, felt immediately relieved. After stepping out alone and seeing a fierce ghost intent on harming him get easily devoured by a huge azure dragon flying out from the Green Dragon Jade, Dong Wentao was so happy he nearly burst into tears! Finally, he wouldn't have to stick to Situ Shuangshuang like a leg ornament every day to be safe!
With the Green Dragon Jade, Situ Shuangshuang was temporarily relieved too. Although the Jade couldn't protect Dong Wentao for a lifetime, it could keep him safe for a few years, giving Situ Shuangshuang enough time to teach this particularly unskilled student until he could freely use the Yin Yang Eye!
Yes, a student! Situ Shuangshuang initially thought Chen Qi wanted to take Dong Wentao as a little disciple and then have Situ Shuangshuang, the senior sister, teach him. Unexpectedly, Chen Qi's idea was to have Situ Shuangshuang take Dong Wentao as her own student!
Situ Shuangshuang was dumbfounded at that time! Even though her two lifetimes of age combined would make her qualified enough to be Dong Wentao's teacher, she was currently younger than Dong Wentao by two years!
However, Dong Wentao wasn't much fazed by it. Mainly because in his mind, Situ Shuangshuang was already as authoritative as his father! Calling her 'Master' felt quite natural.
After Situ Shuangshuang finished crafting the Green Dragon Jade, Chen Qi decided to immediately hold the formal apprenticeship ceremony. Situ Shuangshuang completed the entire ceremony in a daze and didn't fully understand what her master was thinking until she drank the tea Dong Wentao served her as a tribute!
Why did he assign her a student two years older than herself? How could she pass on her legacy like this in the future? What if this student died before the teacher herself? It seemed she would really need to pay more attention to this student's safety issue!
As a gift for Dong Wentao's apprenticeship, Situ Shuangshuang gave him a delicate little waist pouch filled with Paper Talismans. The pouch was handmade by Situ Shuangshuang, serving both as an accessory and for storing talismans to save lives. A win-win! Moreover, the usage of these talismans was very simple.
There was no need to ignite them with Palm Fire like Situ Shuangshuang; just sticking them would suffice. Of course, these talismans were not as powerful as those currently used by Situ Shuangshuang, but there was no choice; Dong Wentao had no Spiritual Power, so he couldn't use the powerful talismans of the Heavenly Masters.
Regarding this pouchful of talismans, Dong Wentao was overjoyed, thanking his master profusely. Now he called 'Master' more fluently than ever, and even Situ Shuangshuang, who initially felt embarrassed, became very natural in accepting Dong Wentao's addressing her.
Having spent this period in a whirlwind, the start of school finally arrived. Dong Wentao was going to university, and Situ Shuangshuang was heading to high school.
The school, which had been quiet throughout the vacation, became lively and bustling again. Students came and went, talking and laughing, their youthful vitality exuberant and radiant.
However, while walking on campus, Situ Shuangshuang was pondering whether to take the college entrance exam early. She no longer lacked money and didn't need to fixate on scholarships, and wasting time idling at school seemed counterproductive.
Moreover, there was a lurking issue in Situ Shuangshuang's body too. Rather than wasting time at school, she might as well cultivate at home to quickly strengthen herself and eliminate the unstable factor within that always made her inner fire surge unreasonably.
While contemplating how to discuss directly taking the college entrance exam with her teacher, Situ Shuangshuang felt a pitch-black person walking past her!
Startled, Situ Shuangshuang looked up to see a boy with his head down, walking like a wandering soul. His whole body was shrouded in a layer of black mist! This mist was neither Yin Qi nor resentful energy but the misfortune of this person!
Misfortune! Anyone who catches it will have very bad luck. At best, whatever they do fails. At worst, they could trip on flat ground and get seriously injured or even choke just by sipping water!
Many people have minor misfortune, and it's quite easy to overcome, but some suffer from severe misfortune, facing life-threatening situations each time, making it hard to avoid.
The person in front of her was enveloped in black mist from head to toe, obviously very unlucky, but Situ Shuangshuang was still very puzzled. Why hadn't she seen this extremely unlucky person at school before? By rights, such a distinguishably black person should have made an impression on her.
Just as Situ Shuangshuang was wondering, she saw the boy in front of her happen to walk past a football field. The captain, upset at having failed to score, kicked the ball out in anger, and it just flew towards the head of the black-mist-covered boy!
Situ Shuangshuang was startled. This football might just make others dizzy if it hit or might not hit at all! But if it were to hit this boy with his current luck, wouldn't he get a concussion right then and there?
Without thinking further, Situ Shuangshuang promptly stepped forward. As the football almost hit the boy, she reached out to intercept it! Then, with a wave of her hand, she tossed the ball back. The boy playing football was also shocked, apologizing to the black-mist-covered boy and then thanking Situ Shuangshuang. If it hadn't been for her interception, someone could've gotten hurt.
Situ Shuangshuang waved her hand indifferently, responding with a simple "it's okay."
It wasn't until this moment that the boy nearly hit by the ball reacted. He turned around, his face weary, yet his expression showed no surprise as he gave a bitter smile and thanked Situ Shuangshuang! It was obvious he was used to such unexpected incidents.
Seeing the boy's appearance, Situ Shuangshuang was somewhat surprised, as by his facial features, he clearly wasn't someone destined for so many misfortunes! How was he carrying such heavy misfortune on him?
