"Little one."
Guangling Douluo's surprised voice rang in Ling Chang'e's ear.
"You're quite early."
"I thought you'd sleep in a bit more."
Guangling Douluo said leisurely, a faint smile on his face. Perhaps he had just woken up, his eyes not fully open, making him appear rather lazy.
"Master."
Ling Chang'e lowered her voice, her sweet, soft voice ringing out, "You said you'd accompany me to Spirit Hall Academy. Don't forget your promise to me."
Ling Chang'e spoke to Guangling Douluo in a serious tone, wanting him to treat the matter seriously.
After these past few days of interaction, Ling Chang'e had come to understand that her Master, Guangling Douluo, was a lawless individual.
If you want him to respect you, you have to go along with his temper. In that sense, he's like a giant cat. To make him obedient, you have to pet him the right way to prevent him from getting agitated and causing subsequent trouble.
This person responds to softness, not hardness!
This was also the reason Ling Chang'e reined in her temper.
There was nothing she could do; who told her she couldn't defeat Guangling Douluo?
If she could beat him, she'd give him two solid punches and see if he'd still be so arrogant!
Hmph!
"Huh?"
Guangling Douluo looked at her hesitantly, saying suspiciously, "This isn't like your style, little one."
"It gives me the feeling that you have ill intentions."
"Usually when I call you 'little one,' you call me 'old one.' Being so obedient today isn't like you. Could it be that you've had a change of heart, realizing how good I am to you, and decided to turn over a new leaf?"
"If that's the case, this old man accepts it."
Guangling Douluo immediately chuckled. He felt that Ling Chang'e was very unusual today, but he didn't care.
After all, she couldn't beat him.
As the saying goes, a weasel paying respects to a chicken has no good intentions.
His adorable disciple certainly had no good intentions either.
"..."
Ling Chang'e's mouth twitched again, then she shook her head, "Master, stop messing around."
"If you keep messing around, I won't be able to handle it."
Looking at his smiling face, Ling Chang'e was truly helpless.
Guangling Douluo was such a character!
"Be good, say something nice, and I, your Master, will take you to Spirit Hall Academy right now."
Guangling Douluo smiled gently at Ling Chang'e. At this moment, he had fully woken up from his sleep, a hint of cunning in his eyes.
Looking at his wicked face, Ling Chang'e really wanted to punch him. But alas, she couldn't!
Circumstances were stronger than her.
Even without considering the circumstances, she didn't have the strength to oppose Guangling Douluo. Damn it, once she became a Titled Douluo, she would definitely pin Guangling Douluo to the ground and beat him.
How could there be such a childish Master!
She was still a child!
"Master!"
Ling Chang'e snorted, "What nice words do you want to hear?! Hurry up and say it, I'll satisfy you!"
"I want you to praise me."
Guangling Douluo looked at her arrogantly, "No repeating."
"How childish!"
This time, Ling Chang'e couldn't help it and looked at him helplessly, "So childish!"
"Stop talking nonsense, hurry up and praise me."
"Can't praise you one bit."
Ling Chang'e was truly exhausted.
She wasn't good at praising people, and she hadn't read many books!
In her previous life, she was a slacker. Asking a slacker to praise someone, wasn't that asking for the impossible?!
Damn it, this Master was even more childish than her.
"Hmm?"
"You are the best Master in the entire World."
"Not enough!"
"Say more."
"..."
Ling Chang'e's mouth twitched. She really wanted to leave on the spot.
She wasn't going to serve this character anymore!
An eighty-year-old man, still acting spoiled with a six-year-old child, couldn't he have some shame?!
Yet, Ling Chang'e had no way to deal with him, nor did she dare to express her true feelings.
Who told her that Guangling Douluo was the most favored person in the Hall of Offerings of Spirit Hall?
Although those Offerings didn't explicitly say it, their attitude towards Guangling Douluo revealed their thoughts.
Sigh, so tired. Being with such a character of a Master, her life was in danger.
"You..."
Ling Chang'e looked hesitant and slowly said, "You are one who makes fish sink and wild geese fall, with the grace of orchids and the heart of an orchid, with bright eyes and white teeth..."
"A great beauty as beautiful as a celestial being, with captivating beauty, natural charm, and peerless looks."
"My Master is as beautiful as a flower!"
Ling Chang'e thought of those auspicious phrases from her previous life and blurted them all out.
If Guangling Douluo was still not satisfied, she had no other options.
This was all a slacker could do.
"..."
"This old man is a man!"
Guangling Douluo gritted his teeth and looked at her, "These words are all used to describe women! Where did you hear them from?!"
To Guangling Douluo, these words were an insult.
How could a man be described as having captivating beauty?!
That was used to describe women, and he, Guangling Douluo, was a true, upright man!
Also, when did Ling Chang'e learn such profound words?
Someone must have led his adorable disciple astray.
"Who told you?"
"..."
Facing his questioning, Ling Chang'e said, "Qian Junlin taught me."
The cunning Ling Chang'e intended to drag Qian Junlin into this.
When old acquaintances meet, tears well up in their eyes. When old acquaintances scheme against each other, they stab each other in the back.
This was simply too wonderful.
When facing trouble, don't worry; just scheme against whoever you can.
Ling Chang'e, who had deeply inherited Guangling Douluo's true teachings, declared that these were all minor matters!
"What?"
Guangling Douluo's anger instantly vanished, and he looked at Ling Chang'e with suspicious eyes, "You shouldn't know him."
"Yesterday, he was at the Spirit Awakening Ceremony the whole time, and you were sleeping..."
"That's because you didn't see."
"Before the Spirit Awakening Ceremony, he and I became good friends. He taught me these words, saying they would definitely work to coax you."
"..."
This time, it was Guangling Douluo's turn to be silent.
He began to doubt his own reputation.
There must be something wrong with this!
Angel Village was not close to Spirit Hall.
It was unlikely for a six-year-old child to know him.
Guangling Douluo remained suspicious of Ling Chang'e's words.
"You didn't secretly learn these words from a book yourself and then frame someone else, did you?"
"Guess."
As soon as she finished speaking, Ling Chang'e directly ran out, disappearing like a cannonball.
She realized that if she didn't run, she would be beaten.
Between being beaten and escaping, she chose the latter.
When he saw Ling Chang'e flee, Guangling Douluo instantly understood. This little fellow was quite interesting!
She dared to play mind games in front of him!
"Ling Chang'e!"
Guangling Douluo's gritted voice clearly pierced through the palace and reached Ling Chang'e's ears.
"Master, I'll be waiting for you at Spirit Hall Academy!"
"Your disciple misses you so much!"
Ling Chang'e even provocatively stopped, shouting loudly towards the palace.
Hehe, this was all learned from Guangling Douluo.
"Master, hurry up and come."
Ling Chang'e was still gloating, thinking that Guangling Douluo couldn't control her. But before she could be happy for more than three seconds, Guangling Douluo grabbed her by the collar and smiled gently at her.
This smile sent shivers down Ling Chang'e's spine.
Indeed, one shouldn't be too smug.
Being smug really leads to trouble!

To kick off the new year, I'm excited to announce that Chapter Bundle is now live on my Ko-fi!
Bundle Details: Chapters: 41 through 50. Price: $7.
I want to be fully transparent about this bundle's contents. Since chapters 41-43 were previously published, this bundle contains 7 new, unreleased chapters (44-50) for the price of 7. I sincerely apologize for this poor planning.
I promise that from now on, all future bundles will follow a clear and better value: 10 brand-new chapters for the price of 7. This current bundle is an exception as I transition to this new, more organized system. ( because I was too lazy to upload it one by one)
Thank you for your understanding and for your unwavering support. Wishing you a year filled with wonderful stories, joy, and prosperity!
