Chapter 5 - Performing Arts and Craftsmans.h.i.+p Compet.i.tion?

"Miss Gu, this is Thousand Blossom Gra.s.s, it can save lives when endangered……Oh, this is a Hundred Whirling Leaf, if you ever need me, just blow on it and I'll come as fast as possible……" Mo Bai seemed too worried to leave Gu Qingyu alone, and kept on rambling endlessly. Through great difficulties, Gu Qingyu finally managed to make him leave.

Gu Qingyu went back to the cliff side. She summoned her cat ears and cat tail, and climbed down very carefully along the wall.

It was pitch-black inside the cave, she couldn't even see her fingers when she extended her hand in. However, Gu Qingyu possessed excellent night-vision due to her cat features.

Gu Qingyu felt slightly scared, but continued on inside.

Suddenly, some bats flew towards her, Gu Qingyu immediately flipped her body aside, nimbly avoiding them.

"Keke, it's been quite a while since someone showed up here……" A hoa.r.s.e voice sounded through the cave, Gu Qingyu stayed alert as she watched the man coming out of the shadows.

No! Not a person!

He had a pair of gigantic bat wings, long fangs and loose hair draped over his shoulders.

The bat demon greedily licked his lips, "It's been a long time since I've had such fresh delicacy……I can finally have something delicious today……Your blood, must be really tasty!"

Gu Qingyu shuddered, but she was confident in her escaping skills, "Hihi~ Say that again when you catch me!"

She quickly surges deeper in the cave, her speed was astonis.h.i.+ng.

That demon unfolded his wings and took off, in a split-second, he arrived in front of Gu Qingyu.

Just now, Gu Qingyu managed to collect some Illusion Spirit Gra.s.s and held it tightly to her bosom.

"Ohh~~ So your goal was to get the Illusion Spirit Gra.s.s~" That bat demon had already sealed the entrance and there were no other ways out.

Gu Qingyu took a step back, but she suddenly felt something very stiff under her legs, she lowered her head to have a look……

"AH!" It was a skeleton! Gu Qingyu involuntarily screamed.

"Ahahahaha……" The bat demon laughed, and flew towards her……

Gu Qingyu yelled at him, "This disgustingly perverted laughter! Go away! This lady has mysophobia!"

In the nick of time, a figure suddenly blocked in front of Gu Qingyu, and an overly lackl.u.s.ter voice could be heard, "Idiot, can you not be so desperate?"

It's……Jia Qizhe！！

He's here to save her！！

Gu Qingyu started to get emotional……

"Jia Qizhe, you came!" She excitedly shouted out his personal name loudly, "Aiyo, you really didn't have to~~"

"……" Jia Qizhe silently glanced at Gu Qingyu, "You're really went all out for that Illusion Spirit Gra.s.s, it was just a joke." He looked at her, and shrugged his shoulders helplessly. However, this particular action made Gu Qingyu really angry……

"Jia Qizhe!" Unbelievably, she yelled at him, "How can you act like this! You hypocrite!!"

"Though, I never said I wouldn't bring you with me," Jia Qizhe smiled, "Hypocrite? Alright then, I'll let you know what a real hypocrite is like."

"……" Gu Qingyu became fl.u.s.tered when she heard his words, "Ehehe, I was just messing around…Jia Qizhe~ Don't~~"

While the two of them were either smiling or worrying, they completely forgot about the bat demon, the bat demon became furious, "HEY! Stop treating me like dirt!"

"Hehee!" Gu Qingyu laughed sinisterly at the bat demon.

The bat demon began to sweat profusely, he had scared people innumerable times, but this was the first time someone laughed like this at him.

Gu Qingyu continued laughing, "Hehehe!" The atmosphere around Gu Qingyu was quite unsightly.

"Then," Jia Qizhe dully glanced at Gu Qingyu, "If you beat him, I'll take you with me."

"Ahh?" Gu Qingyu squinted her eyes, "Are you for real?"

"I never go back on my words." Jia Qizhe helplessly laughed.

"But, I got your Illusion Spirit Gra.s.s! You should already take me with you in the first place!" Gu Qingyu stamped her feet, and glared at the grinning bat demon who flew towards her, she grinded her teeth, and brought out her cat features, "Increase Speed!"

She leaped towards the sides, the bat demon naturally knew to not easily provoke Jia Qizhe, and continued chasing after Gu Qingyu.

Gu Qingyu suddenly halted, and extended her hands, "Cat Magic: Seek!"

Instantly, a dusky purple-colored fairy light emerged out of her palm, creating a beautiful arc in the air, and shoot towards the Bat Demon.

Jia Qizhe watched over everything and didn't seem any particularly amazed.

"Whooosh——"

The wings of the bat demon spread out in a flash, he tried to evade it, but the speed of the fairy light was too quick!

"Bang!"

The bat demon was stuck by the fairy light, and fell straight down on the ground.

Jia Qizhe walked up to Gu Qingyu, he strokes her cat ears, "So cute."

Gu Qingyu lost her temper in this moment, "Hey! You promised!"

He helplessly shrugged his shoulders, "Okay then."

That means……He agreed?

Gu Qingyu cheered in joy, "Oh yeah!"

"Let's not celebrate too early." Jia Qizhe stared at the bat demon lying on the ground.

Saying it too late, the bat demon abruptly unfolded his wings and charged against Gu Qingyu. Jia Qizhe immediately took out a golden sword, and swung it in the air, in an instant, a golden light destroyed everything……

Afternoon.

"Ugh…… Gu Qingyu rubbed her eyes, "What……"

"Young miss!" Someone threw themselves on her, "I thought I couldn't see you again! Sob sob……"

Only then did Gu Qingyu notice that she was in her own room, and at her side stood Xiao Qi.

"Right! Jia Qizhe……Where is he?" Gu Qingyu immediately grabbed Xiao Qi.

Once Xiao Qi heard Jia Qizhe's name, her eyes lighted up at once like 'Pa', her eyes glittered as gossiped, "Young miss, it was Hero Jia who brought you back! He even……held you……Ah, no, dragged……That's not correct either, he carried……Yeah! He carried you on his shoulders!" She was extremely happy that she managed to find the proper descriptive word.

Gu Qingyu's face turned more gloomy as she listened, she clenched her teeth, "Did he come up with an explanation to my parents?" Carried back on the shoulders? It would be strange if her parents didn't throw a fit!

"Nonono, Young miss." Xiao Qi seriously said, "Hero Jia secretly sent you back, old master and madame doesn't know that he carried you back on his back. Hero Jia also told them, that you had fainted from practicing dancing too excessively."

"F**k!" Gu Qingyu felt she was. .h.i.t by a hammer, "Can he exaggerate some more?!"

However, in fact, he could.

"Young miss……" Xiao Qi quietly said, "Hero Jia also said that the condition to come with , only if you win first place in tomorrow's compet.i.tion……"
