Chapter 24 - Demon repellent pill

What? Tomorrow? How come I didn't know about that?" I asked, looking confused.

"You don't? Were you not told?" asked Mimi with a worried expression.

Did Zhang Han do this on purpose? No wonder he wants me to wash all his clothes, as he knows I'm becoming a disciple tomorrow, I thought, fuming with anger.

"It's okay though, let's hurry up and finish this laundry," said Muyang, as he had already started washing some.

We're soon done with the laundry, all thanks to Fei Fei, Mimi, and Muyang.

"You're done?" said Master Xiao Yan, who appeared in front of us.

"Yes! All thanks to them, or your senior disciple would have killed me," I said scornfully.

"Let's go back now, the senior disciple is waiting for you," said Master Xiao Yan, leaving us confused.

"I'll see you all later. Congratulations to us on our victory tomorrow," I whispered into Fei Fei's ear, while she gave a cute smile with Mimi and Muyang.

I was escorted by Master Xiao Yan back to the Zhang Han quarters, straight to Zhang Han's room, after having spread all the clothes on the drying line.

"Here's your name plate. Make sure to keep it safe," he said as soon as he spotted me, handing over the name plate to me, which I collected with a slight bow.

Fei Fei was right after all. This idiot really didn't tell me about the trial end. Such a bastard, I thought with anger.

"Make sure this room is sparkling clean. I love seeing my room clean. Xiao Yan, get her a bucket of water and a cloth," he commanded.

"Who's cleaning?" I asked, confused and angry.

"Who else is under trial? Do we have someone else?" he asked, directly facing Xiao Yan, who replied to him with a nod.

"You must be kidding me, senior disciple. I just finished your laundry, and now you're telling me to clean again? How can you be so heartless!" I yelled angrily.

"It's your duty. You can give up and walk out of the Mount Hua sect. I promise you that nobody is going to stop you. Or you might as well stay. It's your choice, though," he said, rolling his eyes at me.

He is punishing me so as to make me give up and leave on my own. He didn't tell me about the trial end on purpose. He is giving me hard chores so as to make me leave willingly. Such an asshole, I thought.

"I'll clean it. Master Xiao Yan should get the bucket of water and cloth here. I'll make sure everything is sparkling clean," I said, forcing out a smile.

His expression confirms that I'm right after all. I'm never going to give up. The fact that I'm dealing with him, I won't give up. I'll definitely make life unbearable for him, as he has made mine, I thought with a heavy sigh.

Master Xiao Yan was soon back with a pail of water and clothes, after which I was soon excused to resume my cleaning duty.

Cleaning is quite fun after all. I wonder why I'm so good at this, I thought with a broad smile.

I was soon done with cleaning, as everywhere was sparkling clean, leaving Zhang Han and Xiao Yan in awe.

"How is it, senior disciple? I hope I performed well," I asked, with my brows raised at him.

"Excellent, you did excellent, junior sister," exclaimed Xiao Yan, who was soon hit on his lower abdomen by Zhang Han.

"That's it. Be gone now. I have to practice," he commanded with a serious tone and expression, after which I took my leave.

I was finally settled in my room after eating an abundance of delicious meals served by the chef.

I'm becoming a disciple tomorrow. Luli would be so happy. I wonder how she is doing too, I thought, with sadness written all over my face.

"Darn it!.. Only if there's a phone or television to watch some Netflix and chill, accompanied with popcorn," I yelled while tossing in bed angrily.

Demon realm

"The pill is finally done for Her Highness. I have to think of a way to give it to her," said Luli, holding a red pill in her hands carefully.

"Are you sure you got all the medicinal ingredients in it? You mustn't make any mistakes," said Gang, seated on a chair with a worried expression.

"I did. I really miss Her Highness. I wonder if she eats and sleeps well," said Luli sadly.

"It's okay. She's the Demon Queen. She'll be fine no matter what. The important thing is to get the demon repellent pill to her, so as to get rid of her dark scent of demon blood," said Gang.

"I know. The pill is made of the Queen's blood herself, with other magical herbs in the demon realm and medicinal herbs in the human world," said Luli, as she stared at the pill proudly.

"The day to defeat the Mount Hua sect is finally going to come to pass. I'll kill lots of people on that day. Blood will flow, to avenge the Queen's mother's death and for the demon realm to regain undefeatable powers," said Gang with a broad smile.

"Be careful of what you say. Her Highness must never hear you say that. She mustn't know. No matter what, the secret follows us to our grave," said Luli, as she stretched out her hand to take a vow with Gang.

"I promise! Send one of the demon visibility birds. Hide its scent, and it will deliver the pill to Her Highness," said Gang.

"With the Mount Hua sect's spiritual barriers, the birds wouldn't even be able to get past the gate. They're sure to die, arousing the Mount Hua leaders' suspicion, who will then interrogate all new sect disciples, and the Queen would be discovered," said Luli with a worried expression.

"Her Highness has to get the pill sooner, as the Mount Hua trial is coming to an end soon. Until we are able to give her the pill, she mustn't get into any physical fight with anyone, where she would spill blood, or her demon blood scent would be discovered," said Gang, his hand placed on his chin, with a face full of worries.
