"A dirty mouth is not enough? You even want your voice to be loud and clear? Do you want to grow up to be a lady or a bear?"
Ye Mo's mouth kept twitching when he heard Little Yin mutter some words under her breath.
He had completely lost all face today. Thinking about it, it seemed like ever since this little brat appeared in the forest on the outskirts of Leaf City, nothing good had ever happened whenever she's around.
He picked her up from a massacre ground which already spelled a bad omen.
His residence was literally raided out of desserts and snacks in a single night.
The front yard of his manor was half-destroyed by the black-robed intruder and the Patriarch's fight.
He had to suffer traveling from one part of the city to another in his fastest speed while carrying a giant block of millennial ice.
He had to beg the Ming Yue Sect higher-ups to cure her in his nightwear.
He also had to impose on the said sect and shamelessly stay in one of their courtyards, lest they went back on their words and fail to keep their agreement, not returning this little girl with a Spirit Body.
When Ye Hua visited earlier, he mentioned that Patriarch Ye Wuqing and the other elders are unimpressed by Ye Mo's absence despite him, as the city's defense elder, knowing that an important guest is coming from the capital.
Then, this little ancestor, the third princess of the Ming Yue Sect, just had to join in the mayhem.
Now, Little Yin was starting another riot. Marriage! Robbery! Who was she trying to con?!
Dear Ye ancestors, this unfilial descendant will worship you all more sincerely from now on, just give me back my peace of mind!
From his periphery, he caught sight of the little brat rolling her large eyes at him. In her childish mumble, she started criticizing him.
"Old fogey, there are still plenty of herbs left. Slack off and we'll only be delayed. Don't you want your share of wealth? Where is your spatial storage container? I will allow you to keep a part for cultivation use. Am I not overly nice? This generosity is rarely seen, you know? Hurry and help me get the rest. You go east and I go west."
Seemingly unaffected by his glare, Little Yin continued like she was a merchant boss giving instructions to her workers. "Phoenix sister, if you have one too, you should help out. You can go north of here."
Ye Mo wished that he could just commit suicide by banging his head on a piece of tofu.
What is embarrassment?
What is face?
Little Yin's cultivation on the Dao of Shamelessness had obviously reached the pinnacle!
Before Ye Mo could erupt into another fit of rage, Zhi Ruo laughed and gave a small gesture with her soft, fair hands. "Miss Xiao Yin, Ruo'er is afraid Elder Ye is not much help. If I am not mistaken, among those in the Ye Sect, only Patriarch Ye Wuqing has a spatial pouch, as this is a precious and rare artifact normally only the heads of the great clans and big sects could get their hands on."
Little Yin seemed to chew on these words. Her expression was obviously that of the suffering kind, hating that iron did not become steel. "In short, you have one?"
"Ruo'er indeed has one."
"Great. You go east, I go west."
The little girl then smiled a cheeky smile towards Ye Mo, as if she was gloating. Or scheming. Or something else equally bad.
Her dark eyes seemed to glitter with ill intent. "Old fogey, you can go guard Phoenix sister in case something happens. Do not worry about me."
"What can happen to her? And you! Are you giving orders now? Really?"
He couldn't believe that she has the audacity to say that! And why was it that the third princess was humoring this little brat?
Could it be... Does Zhi Ruo have an inkling about Little Yin's mysterious background? Could this brat hail from a very formidable force?
"No. You are not leaving my sight. In fact, you troublemaker can no longer stay here," he said firmly and picked up the little girl, carrying her small body in his arms. "Come on, little brat. I am tired, and I wanna go home. I bet you are hungry too. Xuan'er will prepare a delicious meal for your recuperation. I heard she even bought more pudding to stock what you ate nights ago."
Little Yin sneered. "You think I can be baited with the mention of food? Well... you are right! I can be baited by food! Come on, let's go home!"
Then, she turned and casually waved at the patiently smiling Zhi Ruo. "Phoenix sister, take good care of yourself. The patriarch and great elders, even their disciples, are simply frozen and can be thawed in half a day's time. You can just tell them that a senior of mine went on rampage after learning their plot of keeping me here without my consent. The things you call spatial pouches, my senior took them too!"
Ye Mo was dizzy with disbelief. "Brat, you're even making her tell a lie for you?!"
"Just because you did not see something doesn't mean it is not real," Little Yin taunted him. "Besides, aren't you my senior?"
"Are you giving me those spatial pouches?"
Suddenly finding that Zhi Ruo was really pleasant to the eyes, Little Yin ignored Ye Mo's question and turned to her. She pumped her fists in the air and did a victory sign. "I am sure this will be quite a headache, Phoenix sister, so visit us for dinner tonight once you are done, okay? Cheering you on!"
