The General's Genius Daughter Chapter 17

Chapter 17 – Handsome Master

Soon, Lv Xin arranged for someone to send lunch over and there were snacks, fruits, fish, congee as well as a wide variety of food.

Tianci’s eyes lit up when he saw the impressive spread laid out in front of him. He had been fed dog food over the past four days and sometimes, he would even be fed food that was worse than dog food.

Nonetheless, he still carefully looked up at Hua Qiyue, as though he was waiting for her command.

Hua Qiyue stroked his head tenderly and said, “Son, go ahead. I’ll let you eat but you mustn’t be too anxious… you must eat slowly; do you understand?”

Tianci was delighted. He had not known Hua Qiyue for a long time but the tenderness in her eyes made him feel safe. Then, he started to gulp the food down.

Hua Qiyue’s heart squeezed when she looked at him and Lv Xin and Youshui both couldn’t help but wipe at their eyes.

The most important thing right now was for Tianci’s throat to be cured and Tianpi of the Mysterious World was undoubtedly the best person to do that.

Hua Qiyue quietly stared at Tianci’s face that was covered in injuries and felt her heart squeeze in pain. The hatred in her heart grew stronger. It was so strong that it was as though darkness had sunk deep into her heart, so thick that it could not be erased.

Tianci had only just arrived but it only took him an afternoon to get acquainted with Hua Qiyue. He ate until he was full, and then he good-naturedly rubbed his face against her arm. This was what her child used to do in the past.

Hua Qiyue looked into her son’s clear eyes and felt her heart clench. “Tianci, off you go to play with Sister Lv Xin. I’d like some time to rest, is that alright?”

Tianci nodded and there was a flicker of confusion and trepidation in his eyes.

Not long later, he was enjoying himself playing hide-and-seek with Lv Xin outside.

Hua Qiyue lay in bed and clutched that green jade gourd. Then, she entered that desolate world.

Tianpi sat idly on the ground, his back resting against a large rock. He looked at her, a faint smile dancing across his lips.

“My disciple was truly clever. The moment she appeared, she really taught those wretched people a good lesson. Tsk tsk!”

Hua Qiyue smiled and said, “Thanks for the compliment. I’ve come today to ask for a favor…”

“This is regarding your adopted son, right? Tsk. I just can’t understand it. You’re the eldest daughter of the family at your prime, so why would you spend so much effort to rescue that invalid…”

“Master, please be more respectful! He is not an outsider. This boy is my son.” Hua Qixue interjected coldly. Tianpi was stunned. He didn’t think that she would dare to contradict him.

Hua Qiyue bent down to plant the Long Red seed into the ground and watched as the seed sprouted, and then it grew quickly.

This world was truly magical and it took less than an hour for the seed to blossom into a flower. The speed at which it bloomed was much faster than the world outside.

“Master, this might be the only favor I’ll ever ask for you. If you could make Tianci speak again, I’ll pay whatever price it takes.”

Hua Qiyue said softly and the red glow of the arid place splashed across her face, tinting her black eyes a faint red. Her gaze was soft and her brows were like willows. Tianpi could not hold back a frown when he noticed the gentle curve of her bowed head.

“Tsk, what if I ask for you to give yourself to me?” Tianpi said with a cynical laugh.

“Sure.” Her reply was flat and resolute.

The corners of his mouth twitched and he put his hand over his forehead in resignation. “Alright, alright. I give up! I’ll do it since you’re my disciple. However, I’m not a doctor, so how would I be able to cure your son? Nonetheless… I would be able to give you the seeds for some herbs. These are the seeds I’ve collected for more than a thousand years! Humph.”

Hua Qiyue was a little dejected at his words. “Master, won’t you be able to treat his throat?”

“I’m not a doctor and there is no cauldron for brewing potions here either. Kid, don’t you know that my strengths are in Qi Art and summoning the dead? My strength does not lie in medical skills.” 666

Tianpi said exasperatedly as he passed the bag of seeds to her.

Hua Qiyue accepted the bag of seeds and said, “Thanks, Master.”

She did not waste any more time speaking but sat on the floor to cultivate her Qi Art earnestly in accordance with how Tianpi had shown her a few nights earlier.

Tianpi studied her silently from where he sat.

He had lived in this jade gourd for 500 years, and he had such a long lifespan that he was not even sure how old he was.

When Hua Qiyue wore this jade gourd, he tried his best to get her to sense him but the original Hua Qiyue was extremely cowardly and she was as good as useless.

Thus, he was surprised to see her sitting quietly here, cultivating her Qi Art. He could not help but clap when a circle of light blue Qi appeared from the top of her head and did not dissipate.

“You’ve unblocked your Qi meridians and become a genius. Hua Qiyue, I took a few months to attain Grand Completion Assimilation Stage but you’ve managed to achieve the same feat in a few nights. This is great! I think I’ve found myself a genius disciple!” Tianpi laughed happily, which accentuated his gorgeous features.

Hua Qiyue looked at her lousy teacher curiously. “Why was a man as strikingly handsome as him trapped in such a place?”
