Chapter 1588: Chapter 1568: Monkey Cultivates Buddha
After finishing, Qhianqhian flipped through it briefly and then handed it to He Wenyu, who found sturdy kraft paper and bound it into a book...
"Thank goodness this is the revised edition, otherwise wouldn’t we have to translate the entire thing into plain speech?" He Wenyu shook his hand discontentedly: "I strongly advocate hiring someone to do this!"
Qhianqhian: "..." She turned to He Wenyu with a bewildered face, opened her mouth but couldn’t speak for a moment, her face full of reluctance.
"Uh, what’s wrong? Did I say something wrong?" He Wenyu noticed something was off with Qhianqhian’s expression, thought back over what she said but couldn’t pinpoint anything wrong, so she could only look at Qhianqhian in confusion.
"...You said it right on point. Why are we here stupidly copying? We have money, don’t we? Brother Zhuzi, later take these books to Forget Worries Tea House to the shopkeeper, ask him to find people to help copy them, distribute a few pages per person, don’t give them all to one person, and then pay according to the word count." Qhianqhian gritted her teeth angrily, glaring at He Wenyu.
He Wenyu looked at Qhianqhian uneasily. Why was she looking at her with that expression even though she hadn’t said anything wrong?
Then she heard Qhianqhian speak fiercely: "Why didn’t you think of this sooner? We’ve already written so much, haven’t we? Since leaving school, I haven’t written so many words!"
He Wenyu: "..." Is this my fault?
"So frustrating, after sending the manuscript, get some pastries from the Eldest Princess for Xiao Yu to try and make new pastries for me." Qhianqhian pouted, after all, she couldn’t let the Eldest Princess feel too apologetic, though she has no title, she’s Brother Jiayou’s woman, and could be considered a sister-in-law.
Bai Yinshu looked at Qhianqhian eagerly, not making a fuss, just showing clear excitement in his gaze.
Qhianqhian rolled her eyes and took out a small bottle of perfume: "Don’t spray it everywhere, this stuff evaporates fast. If you want to smell it, go back to your room and spray some on your wrist..."
Before Qhianqhian finished speaking, Bai Yinshu was already running into the room with the item, leaving her speechless.
"Relatively speaking, isn’t he more suited to being a woman than us?" Qhianqhian turned her head to He Wenyu, questioning casually.
He Wenyu instinctively lowered her head, looking at her dress—yes, she was wearing a skirt and had a chest. Why say he was more suited to being a woman? Did she not have any feminine air? She puzzled over it while proudly sticking out her chest towards Qhianqhian.
"Uh..." Qhianqhian was immediately dumbfounded; she never expected He Wenyu to react like that...
Instinctively, she also looked down, thinking despite stopping at her early development level, it wasn’t a reason to truly consider her a man, right?
Seeing the two’s actions, the men in the yard tacitly went about their business as usual.
Men and women are different; for questions like these, they really can’t have a reaction, even making expressions is inappropriate.
Looking at her own chest’s slight movement, then at the waves on He Wenyu, Qhianqhian clenched her fist tightly and lunged at He Wenyu, grabbing fiercely and exclaimed viciously: "You’re showing off to me!!!"
He Wenyu was startled by Qhianqhian’s action, and by the time she realized what Qhianqhian did, Qhianqhian had quickly moved away.
Knowing there was no chance of returning the grab, He Wenyu gritted her teeth, and proudly stuck her chest out at Qhianqhian: "You have no chest, what are you fussing about!"
???
The men in the yard quietly opened the room door, leaving the place of trouble.
Women are terrifying, simply terrifying, indeed the saying ’only women and petty men are hard to maintain’, there’s a reason...
Petty men can betray at any moment, catching one off guard.
And women, with their endless peculiar thoughts, leaving everyone overwhelmed...
Qhianqhian sat at the edge of the roof at this time, her eyes wide open, helplessly.
...In the days that followed, Qhianqhian and He Wenyu maintained an extremely subtle relationship, constantly seizing opportunities to ambush each other.
Seemingly training their vigilance, leaving the others in the yard helpless.
But soon, the Eldest Princess came knocking.
Bringing along a carriage full of rare treasures, naturally not forgetting the delicious pastries, all freshly baked and steaming hot.
"Uh?" Qhianqhian was a bit stunned to find someone coming, seeing the Eldest Princess dressed in men’s attire, with a carriage behind her appearing rather plain, unmatching her status.
"Please come in." Although she disdained the status behind the Eldest Princess, out of respect for Lin Jiayou, and her belly, Qhianqhian wouldn’t treat her too poorly.
"Ah?" He Wenyu was stunned seeing a face highly similar to Huangfu Ning.
"Miss Shiliu." The Eldest Princess smiled, greeting elegantly: "Thank you for usually taking care of my younger sister."
Looking after?
Faced with Qhianqhian’s suspicious gaze, He Wenyu quickly waved: "Nothing of the sort." Then realizing the Eldest Princess’s identity, she hesitated, unsure if she should pay respects.
"What brings the Eldest Princess here adventurously?" Qhianqhian looked at the carriage behind her, sensing the aroma of food inside.
"For the monkey." The Eldest Princess appeared eager: "How’s the monkey coming? After it snatched the Seagod Needle, then what?" She swiftly pulled out the copy they had bound and handwritten.
Qhianqhian pointed at the book in the Eldest Princess’s hand, incredulous: "So, the Eldest Princess came for that?"
"Yes... uh, no, I, um, thinking your brother isn’t here, I should take more care of you..."
Cut the politeness, huh?
Clearly she only came for the storybook, right?
Qhianqhian sighed speechlessly: "Still not finished, Eldest Princess will have to wait patiently."
Then? Isn’t it supposed to be copied to the Dragon Palace for weapons, but aren’t priorities wrong? Came all the way just for that reason?
"What? How can it be like this?" The Eldest Princess appeared incredulous: "Who’s writing it? I’ll go find them." Saying so, she looked anxious.
Qhianqhian was momentarily speechless, did she intend to find them?
"You won’t find them, they’re reclusive sages." Qhianqhian looked at the Eldest Princess, hesitating for a long time before saying so.
He Wenyu looked at Qhianqhian in shock—reclusive sage? Clearly it’s a dead person, isn’t it? Obviously already turned to dust, submerged in the long river of history.
Most importantly, it’s not even this world’s history.
"Is that so."
To He Wenyu’s incredulity, the Eldest Princess believed it.
For a moment, the two found themselves speechless.
