Chapter 181.1 - Feverish Li Wanting
181.1 – Feverish Li Wanting
‘Greetings,
Qilin, Qiqi. Ten days have passed already, how are you doing? I’m fine, and my tails are gradually recovering, so there is no need to worry.
I don’t really know how to express myself. Besides, this the first time I write a letter, so I don’t really know what to write. Therefore, I will write whatever comes to mind…
After you left the Martial Demon Town, I have been running around in the Martial Demon Realm to inform the martial demons that the Martial Demon Realm Trial by Fire has been cancelled. Therefore, I couldn’t find the time to write you until now.
Everyone is rather surprised at the sudden cancellation of the Martial Demon Realm Trial by Fire. As a result, many different opinions and views were generated. Some think that the Four Great Sects are either scheming something or glossing things over.
Although there are disagreements. But all in all, everyone is actually relieved. After all, in terms of outcome, it can be regarded as hopeful.
Finally able to lead a steady life — they must all be thinking this.
Thus, I can’t help but give you my thanks once more. If it weren’t for you guys, things would not have gone so smoothly. Finally… I can give a satisfactory explanation to the comrades waiting for me on the road to the Yellow Springs [1].
Also, did you guys spread the news that the Martial Demon Realm Trial by Fire was cancelled? Recently, many martial demons, who have wandered off to other places, came back to the Martial Demon Realm. According to them, they came back after receiving the news.
I know that the Martial Demon Realm Trial by Fire was cancelled largely due to the changes in the Imperial Court…
I don’t know whether the Five Great Sects will restart the trial by fire once everything is stable… Although it is a bit selfish on my part, but when the time comes, I believe you guys will extend a helping hand to me — to the martial demons — once more. I am deeply convinced of this.
There is one more thing I should mention. The Imperial Court seems to be transferring their elite troops stationed at the frontiers to the capital recently. The Western Guard Fort, which was originally stationed near the Martial Demon Realm, was replaced by other troops earlier…
Big Sister Beiming said that the matter from five years ago is not over yet, but is just lurking underneath the surface for the time being. Therefore, I think that these transfers may be aimed at the Martial World, which has been gradually recuperating. You must be more careful.
If you need help, write me, and I will help as much as I can.
One last thing, if you guys ever intend to come to the Martial Demon Realm for a visit, please contact me beforehand, so that I can prepare first-rate local specialty products for you. I’m looking forward to our next meeting.
Regards
Xihe’

“Oh, Xihe seems to be living the life!”
Xue Qilin uttered in a strange tone, then folded the letter and stuffed it back into the envelope.
“What’s with that wording? It’s really unpleasant to hear.”
“Young Teacher, you’re being naughty again.”
Whether it is Shui Yun’er, who joined the reading of the letter halfway through and is currently smiling while covering her mouth with a hand, or Qi Qiqi, who is frowning dissatisfiedly, Xue Qilin ignored them both.
She stuffed the letter into her sleeve, then jumped out of bed with a “heave-ho” and walked towards the door.
Qi Qiqi and Shui Yun’er, bewildered by her behavior, exchanged a look. Finally, Qi Qiqi asked, “Hey, Qilin, where are you going?”
“I’m going to write a reply.”
“Ah, really? But don’t you not know how to use a brush? Moreover, why don’t you write in your room?”
When Xue Qilin heard that, she froze mid movement at once, but quickly recovered.
“When writing a letter, I pay attention to the time, the place, and the people. I have to find a place that can heighten my focus and give me inspiration.”
“Bullshit!” Qi Qiqi raised her eyebrows, “Say, are you afraid of being found out? What bad things have you done this time?”
“I, I didn’t do anything!”
What else could it be? I’m afraid that you will find the bite mark on your lower leg… Xue Qilin grumbled in her heart.
“I have to nurse Little Phecda, let’s talk later!”
Xue Qilin sped up her pace. Consequently–
“Stop!”
Qi Qiqi only used a word to make Xue Qilin stop in her tracks.
“Turn around!”
I am doomed! Xue Qilin, who feels like weeping, turned around.
“Come here, take a seat!”
Qi Qiqi pointed to the floor in front of her, while Xue Qilin can only comply like a wilted eggplant.
“Say, what did you do? Leniency to those who confess, severity to those who resist. If I learn of it later — humph humph.”
Qi Qiqi waved her fist, scaring Xue Qilin straight.
Under this threat, Xue Qilin confessed to biting the other party’s lower leg while sleeping.
As a result, she welcomed another extremely long lecture.
But different from before, this time’s lecture is accompanied by Shui Yun’er’s snickering, making Xue Qilin feel even more embarrassed.
