My Daily Cultivation Life with a Clumsy Female Disciple

Chapter 42

Li Shiyin made a “wu wu” sound and groped around with her paws to find her face. It looked like she was about to wake up. Qin Ran hurriedly closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep.

Although he did not know what he was feeling guilty about, he instinctively did this.

Soon after, Li Shiyin woke up and suddenly realized that she had actually fallen asleep in someone's arms. Her heart skipped a beat. She hurriedly sat up...

Then her head bumped into the top of the tree hollow.

"Ouch!" she cried out in pain and turned around to see who the man under her was. Oh, it was Master. She immediately relaxed.

Then she rubbed her head and looked around at her surroundings - the tree hollow, the forest...

The memories of yesterday came flooding back into her mind.

"The tree hollow. So Master and I spent the night safely in the primitive forest."

Wait a minute?! She and Master spent the night together in this small tree hollow??

Li Shiyin still had a young maiden's shyness at heart. Her heart suddenly became chaotic. She hurriedly glanced at Qin Ran and found that Qin Ran was still asleep. Only then did she breathe a sigh of relief.

"Master, Master?" she called out tentatively.

At this time, Qin Ran finally pretended to wake up groggily.

"Is it morning?" he asked with a yawn.

"Yes," Li Shiyin replied.

Okay, it’s not a big deal. She twisted her waist and lazily stretched.

"Since it's morning, let's go back," Qin Ran said, raising his hand to collect the water membrane that sealed the hollow. He was eager to leave this place.

When collecting the water membrane, Qin Ran found some strange things on it...

That seemed to be willow catkins? Strands of them were stuck to the water membrane.

He frowned, blew the willow catkins away, and did not dare to get contaminated.

Qin Ran jumped out of the tree hollow first. He maneuvered his body skills and floated without directly stepping on the ground.

He looked around and saw Li Shiyin was also coming out, so he took out the Qingxing Sword and threw it to her, saying, "Don't step on the ground."

Li Shiyin took the sword and clumsily established a connection with the Qingxing Sword. Then she stepped on the Qingxing Sword and swayed unsteadily out of the tree hollow.

"Is your injury not healed yet?" Seeing her like this, Qin Ran asked.

Li Shiyin stopped to feel it carefully and shook her head, "It's healed. Master, your elixir is really effective."

"Then you haven't mastered the sword controlling technique yet?" Qin Ran asked again.

"Well..." Li Shiyin circled Qin Ran on the flying sword. She was already very agile.

Okay, he didn’t understand the world of geniuses as an ordinary person. Something that would be unimaginable for ordinary people like mastering the sword controlling technique in one day now seemed matter of fact to him. He had started to doubt why others were not proficient.

"Master..." Li Shiyin called out.

"Hmm?" Qin Ran looked at her and saw that she was staring at his face. He frowned and asked, "Is there a problem?"

"Didn't Master sleep well last night?" Li Shiyin asked. "Such dark eye circles!"

Qin Ran rolled his eyes at her. Of course he couldn't sleep well!

He shook his head and ignored Li Shiyin, focusing on observing the surroundings. The marshy land beneath their feet had become a mess after being ravaged by the beast horde last night. All kinds of footprints were faintly visible in it.

And floating above these beast footprints were strands of white willow catkins, which looked very out of place.

"Willow catkins again?" Qin Ran thought, looking up. Some wispy white willow catkins were floating in the air, and under the trees on the opposite side, there were no willow catkins at all. "Fox demon, willow catkins?"

"Come closer," he said to Li Shiyin.

Li Shiyin stopped flying randomly and came to Qin Ran's side on the flying sword, asking, "What's wrong?"

"Something's not right..." Qin Ran waved his hand to bring out a transparent bubble to envelop them. He pointed to the willow catkins in the air and said, "Look at those willow catkins."

Li Shiyin looked over but did not notice anything unusual.

"This is the primitive forest. Willow trees should not be the native plants here," Qin Ran explained. "And there are no willow trees around here...

"Forget it," he sighed. "Let's hurry up and leave."

After being reminded by Qin Ran, Li Shiyin vaguely sensed the danger. She asked, "How do we leave?"

"Fly back!" Qin Ran glared at her impatiently.

"But Master, aren't you..." Li Shiyin said. "Afraid of... heights?"

Qin Ran paused. He coughed drily and pretended to be calm. He took out a strip of cloth from the Universe Bag and said, "It's fine if I close my eyes. You can carry me and fly later."

"Oh!" Li Shiyin responded with a pout, blinking her big eyes.

That scene looked so strange. Just thinking about it made her want to laugh.

Qin Ran also didn't look at Li Shiyin, who was pouting and holding back her laugh. He took an empty porcelain bottle from the Universe Bag on his own, operated his spiritual power, and drew in a few strands of willow catkins into the bottle. He was going to take them back for research.

"Okay..." After collecting the willow catkins, he threw one end of the cloth strip to Li Shiyin and said, "Let's go back now."

Li Shiyin caught the cloth strip, flew to the front, and puffed up her cheeks with her big eyes smiling into crescents.

The two of them flew out of the primitive forest and came to midair. Qin Ran determined the direction, raised his hand, and pointed to Li Shiyin, "Fly that way."

Then he closed his eyes and let Li Shiyin carry him to fly.

With his eyes closed, Qin Ran didn't know how far they flew. He just felt like they flew for a long time but still hadn't arrived. So he began to doubt whether Li Shiyin was reliable and whether she could be trusted.

The longer the time, the more he doubted Li Shiyin had malicious intent, and the more he doubted, the longer the time felt.

Time became extremely long, and every second was hard to endure. He didn't know how long they flew. Just as Qin Ran was about to lose patience and open his eyes, Li Shiyin's voice finally came: "Master, we're home!"

Qin Ran opened his eyes. In front was the tall Sword Peak piercing the clouds, and below was Dan Peak.

This was indeed Dan Peak, but...

They were still in midair!

Qin Ran only felt dizzy and hurriedly closed his eyes again.

Seeing his appearance, Li Shiyin let out her maiden-like, smug laughter.

Qin Ran strongly suspected she did it on purpose... She did harbor malicious intent!

After a while more, his feet touched the ground and Qin Ran was sure they were really home now. He opened his eyes. In front of him was the familiar one acre and three fen field.

The riverside hut, the old locust tree in front of the house, the grass under the tree, the mud pit in the middle of the grass... It really felt intimate!

"Master, we're home..." Li Shiyin called out again. "I didn't lie to you!"

Qin Ran gave her a sidelong glance. He collected the protective water bubble and didn't really want to respond to her.

"Hehehe..." Li Shiyin giggled foolishly as she held the Qingxing Sword and hopped forward.

The clouds cleared and a few wisps of white clouds were in the blue sky after the dark clouds.

The sword-holding maiden ran on the grassland along the river back home. A big white cat leapt out of the door by the riverside hut and ran to meet her.

"Chasing the Wind..." the maiden called out happily, her clear and pleasant voice carried very far.

Qin Ran followed slowly behind Li Shiyin, looking at the girl then the cat. It really was tranquil...

Wait a minute!

The aura in Chasing the Wind was no longer chaotic!
