Zhu Yao studied in the extreme north for an entire month, and gradually, she understood why Shao Bai sent her here. The mystic arts and seals of every type were different. She thought that the godly energy she received during the inheritance back then, was already the entirety of the God race's inheritance.
Only later did she find out that the godly energy had always been in her body, and as her mystic arts improved, the energy in her body was released bit by bit. This was a completely different concept from when she was cultivating in the past, absorbing divine energy and spiritual energy.
One was to absorb external energy for one's own use, while the God race was the complete opposite. They themselves already had sufficient energy, they only needed to guide it out. Just like a locked treasury, the inheritance ceremony on the Terrace of Revelations merely gave her a key to open it, while the mystic arts told her how to use the key to open the lock?
And all the Protoss were most proficient in the art of sealing. Sealing was somewhat similar to array formations, except that array formations generally did not distinguish between targets, and the art of sealing seemed to be a technique that worked on a specific type of energy. Needless to say, sealing arts were a special mystic arts used to deal with Devils.
Zhu Yao was secretly a little happy. With this, she would no longer have to be afraid of being helpless if she encountered a Devil in the future. Hence, she studied harder than ever before. Adding that back in Jade Forest Mountain, she had once specially researched formations, and her master was most skilled in this as well, she learned very quickly. Right now, she could cast a simple sealing art with her own strength as well.
Today, she purposely woke up early, to wait for Yue Gu to come for lessons. Ever since her house was snatched away by this unreliable Highgod, she could only build another straw cottage on the mountain peak. And the entire mountain only had this single piece of flat land, hence, for every lesson, he would come all the way here to teach, while she waited at the mountain peak. She felt as though she had found a tutor to tutor her. Her tuition fee just happened to be a straw cottage.
The moment she stepped out of the door, Yue Gu had already walked towards her from afar. His white robe was spotless, and every single step he took was calm and composed, as though he was independent of the world. His eyes were looking straight ahead, and his face was expressionless. This familiar look, made her think that she was seeing her master every single time, and she had the urge to rush forward to acknowledge him, if only … his hair wasn't tangled by weeds.
Yue Gu's footsteps came to a halt. Turning back to look at his tangled hair, he frowned. Then, he continued to walk forward, attempting to pull his hair out with brute force.
He took two steps forward, but there was no result.
With a sigh, he could only reach out and tug at the end of his hair.
However, the hair seemed to have a grudge against him. It clung to the weeds and branches and refused to come out. His brows furrowed even more as he turned around and stared at the pile of withered grass. He wanted to kill the other party with his gaze and make him let go.
Just as Zhu Yao was hesitating if she should step forward to help, a white light flashed in his hand, and with a wave of his hand, his long hair and withered leaves fluttered in the air. In an instant, his long hair that reached the ground was shortened by two centimeters. He was finally able to free himself, and he continued to calmly walk towards her. It was as if nothing had happened.
If he hadn't been pestered a second time …
Zhu Yao deeply … deeply sighed.
# Why are all my masters so funny #
Unable to watch on any longer, she walked forward and helped him to save his hair. Otherwise, if he were to walk over, he would definitely shave his head flat.
"Done!" Zhu Yao threw the black silk she rescued back to his feet.
Yue Gu's eyes instantly widened a little. Turning around, he glanced at the pile of weeds, and then glanced at his undamaged hair. The gaze he was looking at her with was instantly filled with a few hints of praise. "Not bad!"
Not bad my ass!
I don't want to be praised by you because of this.
"Can't you just tie your hair up?" In the past month, his long hair had always reached the ground like this, though his hair was so smooth that it looked as though it had been straightened. However, this matter of his hair getting tangled had already happened many times, you know? Would it kill you to tie it up!?
"Tie it up?" Yue Gu was startled for a moment, and his brows began to furrow again. A moment later, he said. "This method is really inconvenient."
"Impossible!" At the very least, it's better than him getting tangled every now and then. You're just lazy, right?
Yue Gu sighed, and cast an art with his hands. A light breeze blew, and the black silk on his head instantly shrunk and swirled, forming a simple bun on top of his head. However, not even a second later, Yue Gu's hand fell, and that bun that was fixed by a mystic art collapsed like a deflated balloon. Strands of hair scattered down as well, and in the end, it turned into a "bird's nest".
Yue Gu retracted his mystic art, and turned to look at his own disciple. His face was filled with: See, as expected, you can't tie it up, right?
Who asked you to use a mystic art to comb your hair!? Zhu Yao held her forehead. "Is this how you handled your hair in the past? Once you get tangled, you cut it off? "
"That's not it. Usually, I would … "Yue Gu calmly looked at his surroundings, and confidently said." First, I'll get rid of the weeds. "
"…" She finally understood why he was an Ancient God that did not appear in the world. Because, the God race was no longer able to stop him from continuing to be a clown.
"Follow me." Zhu Yao felt that if she were to continue discussing, she would be angered to death by this idiot. Pulling him into the house, she pondered for a moment, and then turned around to grab his long hair to prevent it from getting tangled again.
Only when she returned to the house, did she press him onto the chair. She then helped him tie up all of his black hair on top of his head. Unable to find a hairpin, she casually picked up a pair of chopsticks at the side, folded it into two sections, and fixed his hairstyle.
"It's done!" She finally managed to handle this hair that was not pleasing to the eye.
Yue Gu blanked for a moment, and shook his head a little unaccustomed to it. However, he realized that his hair was still on top, and did not fall off. His eyes instantly widened by a few degrees. Raising his head, he glanced at her, and immediately stood up. Then, he doubtfully shook his head. His hair was still as stable as Mount Tai.
Zhu Yao felt as though his entire body had instantly lit up, as though he had suddenly discovered a new world. His eyes widened even wider, and when he turned his head, as though he wanted to say something to her, he suddenly recalled his dignity as a master. He faked a few coughs, and then tried his best to calm himself down. "Mn, disciple, your master feels that this mystic art of yours is very good!"
The corner of Zhu Yao's lips twitched. Mystic art? You're still acting cool at a time like this? I have long seen through the nature of your zero life skill points.
Recalling that person who was currently in the Divine Realm, with all his life skills fully lit up, she instantly gave Yue Gu another cross in her heart!
Yue Gu, who had opened up a new world of hair tying, felt that he was awesome for the entire day, and his mood was unexpectedly high. Other than teaching even more diligently, he could not help but reach out to touch his new hairstyle a few times the entire day. Although his expression was still as calm as ever. However, that careful hand gesture, and the fact that he had raised his head by two centimeters higher than usual, all proved that he was feeling so comfortable that he could not stop his excitement.
Regarding a situation like this, please do not ask Zhu Yao about her feelings. She did not wish to talk about it.
Ever since that day, Zhu Yao had an additional alarm clock every day. Every day, when the sun had just risen, Yue Gu would punctually appear at the entrance, and request her to activate the hair tying mode. Initially, tying his hair up wasn't a big deal, but what the hell were those stupid excuses he came up with every single time?
"Disciple, let your master examine your mystic arts. Let's start with the hair tying mystic art."
"Vietnam, as the saying goes, one can learn new things by revising the past. First, let's revise the hair tying mystic art."
"Disciple, do you remember the hair tying mystic art? Your master is afraid that you will forget about it."
"Little Seventh, you have already been in the extreme south for quite some time, how's your learning? How's the hair tying mystic art? "
Every time she heard these, Zhu Yao would want to change the comb in her hands into scissors, and cut off his three thousand strands of worry. And, he would come earlier and earlier. Sometimes, before the sky had even brightened, he would already be knocking loudly outside.
She wanted to ignore him as well, and allow him to knock as he pleased. However, after knocking for a while, he would actually barge in by himself. Even if she laid down formations and isolation mystic arts, in front of this Ancient God whose martial prowess was off the charts, they were all ineffective.
In the end, he even moved the straw cottage that he snatched over to the mountain peak, and stayed next to her, so that it would be convenient for him to do his hair whenever he wanted.
Zhu Yao, the cutting-edge stylist, expressed that she only wanted to ask one thing. Could she scold him?
— — — —
Zhu Yao really couldn't understand. How could a person live such a useless life? Without a place to stay, and not knowing how to comb his hair, just how in the world did he survive for so many years? If he wasn't a God, he would have probably starved to death a long time ago, right?
As Zhu Yao roasted the fish, she madly cursed a certain master in her heart. At the back of the mountain peak, there was a pond. This was something Zhu Yao only discovered three months after she came here. And, there was actually a pond filled with fish of various colors, red, white, and gold. Every single one of them weighed several dozen kilograms, and they looked extremely beautiful. This made her recall the sheep carp she had seen in the past.
Because the sheep carp was a fish that symbolized auspiciousness, when she was in the modern era, she would often see people raising them, but she had never eaten them before. And, they were frighteningly expensive. Now that she saw them here, she could not help but have thoughts of eating them.
Scooping up two of them, she removed the scales and washed them clean. After cleaning them, she roasted them on a rack. Just as the fish's body was beginning to take on a charred yellow color, the fragrance began to spread. In the beginning, she did not have much of an appetite, but now, she could not help but salivate.
Just as she was about to retract her hand and start eating, suddenly, a light breeze swept past her. A white figure instantly appeared next to her, and she suddenly had a bad premonition.
The person who came stared at the roasted fish on the rack, and said with a solemn expression. "Disciple, why are you burnt?" A water-type mystic art was poured onto it. "Haah, I must have used a fire-type mystic art carelessly. How is it? "
Zhu Yao, who had failed at the last moment: "…"
She silently pulled him to a different direction, and once again repeated the words she said the most in the past few days. "I'm here!" Momma's egg, just how in the world did you recognize a roasted fish as mine!? Also, have you ever seen a phoenix that can be burnt? "That's the fish I roasted."
Zhu Yao let out a long sigh, and continued to light the fire. Hopefully, that fish, could still be salvaged.
Yue Gu was startled for a moment, and only then did he focus his line of sight on her face. His expression did not have the slightest bit of awkwardness from mistaking his disciple. "Fish? What's the point of roasting it? "
"Of course, to eat it." Zhu Yao casually replied.
Yue Gu no longer spoke, and once again turned to stare at that fish, the kind that stared straight at it. As though he was studying a profound topic like # this plaything can actually be eaten #.
Zhu Yao flipped the fish over …
He stared at it.
Zhu Yao sprinkled seasoning on the fish …
He stared at it.
After Zhu Yao finished roasting it, she took out a plate to store it …
He stared at it.
Zhu Yao picked up her chopsticks, and picked it up …
He stared at it.
Zhu Yao …
Alright, she couldn't eat it anymore. Sighing, she passed the plate over. "Teacher, do you want to eat?" She even placed two chopsticks that she had already peeled on it. Pick it up, she was generous after all.
And then, Yue Gu received the plate along with the fish …
Zhu Yao: "…"
"Are you planning to roast the other fish as well?" Yue Gu finished the entire fish in a few bites. Glancing at the other fish that had yet to be processed, his eyes shone.
