Quick Transmigration: I'm so angry I could cry! The male lead has gone off-topic again!

Chapter 156 The Cold and Aloof Immortal's Darkened Daoist Partner 5

Yun Qing quickly looked down and examined herself, secretly comparing her hand to Zong Yunze's. She realized that she was now small enough that Zong Yunze could easily hold her in his hand.

She was wearing a small, pale yellow dress.

This little garment is actually a magical artifact.

The magical artifact can not only protect the body from dust, but also change size at will.

She had thought she was lying on the ground, but she wasn't; she was actually lying on a stone table.

Seeing that she was staring at his body, Zong Yunze explained, "We don't have enough materials, so this is the only way for now. However, these materials are quite special, and with the help of suitable rare and precious herbs, it can continue to grow."

As he spoke, he raised his hand and wiped it, and a water mirror immediately appeared in front of Yun Qing, clearly showing her current appearance in the water mirror.

Yun Qing carefully examined her appearance.

Zong Yunze seems to have sculpted the character based on the original owner's appearance, rather than sculpting it arbitrarily, which shows he was quite respectful of people.

However, isn't this baby fat a bit too much?

She doesn't look like a miniature version of the adult Chu Yunqing now, but rather like a miniature version of the child Chu Yunqing.

Yun Qing maintained her aloof persona, pinching her chubby cheeks expressionlessly. She really wanted to ask Zong Yunze why he had made her so fat, but her aloofness kept her mouth shut.

As if guessing what she was thinking, Zong Yunze said in a cool and aloof tone, "It would be a waste if we didn't use all the materials."

Yun Qing: ? ? ?

Why didn't you pinch me to make me taller? Instead, you pinched me to make me fatter!

She mentally complained, but Yun Qing didn't really care too much. She was already quite satisfied that she had woken up early and had a body.

Because that way we can eat!

She was secretly pleased for a while, but then she suddenly remembered the scene when the original owner woke up.

No matter how aloof a person is, after experiencing life and death and finally waking up, they will inevitably reveal their emotions upon seeing their Daoist partner.

Chu Yunqing hugged the male lead and cried tears of joy, which made the female lead, who happened to see this, jealous and ran away crying.

Although the female lead's whereabouts are currently unknown, this moment of tears of joy is still necessary.

But the problem is, she can't hold onto Zong Yunze now!

Yun Qing thought for a moment, then looked at Zong Yunze and waved with a haughty expression, "Senior Brother..."

Seeing Zong Yunze take a step forward, getting closer to the stone table, Yun Qing walked to the edge of the table, rushed towards his hand that was hanging over the edge, grabbed his index finger, and cried tears of joy, "Senior brother, it's so good to see you again."

Zong Yunze looked down at the little person lying on his hand, crying so hard that his shoulders trembled, and his cold eyes softened a little.

He lifted her into his palm and made her sit down, then took out a pill and handed it to her, saying, "Soul Nourishing Pill, sweet."

Yun Qing wiped away her tears and realized that Zong Yunze was trying to comfort her. Although his tone, which was devoid of emotion and somewhat icy, didn't sound like he was trying to comfort her at all.

She glanced at the pill in front of her, hugged it tightly, and licked it expressionlessly.

Waaah...it's so sweet!

Yun Qing was truly overjoyed and wanted to cry tears of joy. This was the first time she had ever eaten anything since she came into this world.

I'm so touched!

However, just as she was about to take a second lick, suddenly there was a "crack," and the pill shattered...shattered?!

The pills were originally as big as her head, but now they've shattered into tiny pieces, big enough for her to eat in one bite.

Huh? One bite at a time?!

She glanced at the dregs of the pill in Zong Yunze's palm, then looked up at him again.

He took out a jade plate and placed the broken pill inside.

Then she was put in too.

"This little secret realm is relatively safe. Take your time eating, and I'll make you another storage bag."

Yun Qing nodded. "Thank you, Senior Brother."

With a stern face, she sat cross-legged in the jade dish, feeding herself the dregs of the pills while surveying her surroundings.

If Zong Yunze hadn't told her, she wouldn't have known that they were in a small secret realm.

It looks like a simple cave, but it's quite spacious. Inside, there's only a stone bed, a stone table, and a stone bench.

[System, what is Zong Yunze doing in this little secret realm? Isn't he going back to his sect? Is the female lead still at the Flowing Cloud Immortal Sect?]

How can he date if he doesn't go back?

She remembered that in the story, after Zong Yunze took on a disciple, he rarely left the Liuyun Immortal Sect and always doted on his little disciple!

Surely you haven't taken on any apprentices yet?

Then he should go back even more, otherwise his little apprentice might not be his little apprentice anymore.

[You don't need to worry about the development of the male and female leads' relationship. The responsibility for these plot changes doesn't lie with you. If you interfere in their relationship now, it will only ruin your character.]

Yun Qing nodded. [You still haven't said what Zong Yunze is here for?]

[Of course, it's to find the rare and precious materials you'll need later.]

Yun Qing paused for a moment, then asked with some concern, "Is he suddenly becoming so dedicated because he has something big up his sleeve?"

System: ...What you're saying doesn't seem wrong. You really do have grand ambitions!

Before the system could offer any comfort, Yun Qing completely dismissed her worries.

Because she realized there was nothing to worry about. What did Zong Yunze want anyway? In the end, she would just die at his hands.

Instead of thinking so much now, you might as well eat a few more pill scraps.

This elixir is for nourishing the soul and will benefit her. It was given to her by Zong Yunze, and she cannot let him down.

Therefore, even if Chu Yunqing isn't a foodie, she can still eat as much as she wants without worrying about ruining her image.

Yun Qing enjoyed the pill very much. It was sweet but not cloying, even better than candy.

However, she was also a little puzzled: when did the Soul Nourishing Pill become so delicious?

Although the original owner had never eaten it in his memories, he knew about it. Shouldn't the Soul Nourishing Pill have a bitter medicinal taste?

Could it be that Zong Yunze used a different pill formula?

*

By the time Zong Yunze finished refining the storage bag, Yun Qing had already consumed almost all of the pill.

He handed her a tiny storage bag and said, "The rest of the Soul Nourishing Pills are in here. Your soul hasn't fully recovered yet, so you can eat them when you have nothing to do."

Yun Qing's expression shifted slightly. As she took the storage bag, she restrained herself and briefly touched his fingers before letting go. "Thank you, Senior Brother."

Zong Yunze withdrew his hand, unconsciously rubbing his fingers, and quietly looked down at her as she hung the storage bag on her waist.

Then he thought for a moment, picked the person up, and put him on his shoulder.

"Let's go see if there's anything else we can find in this little secret place, and then we'll go to other places."

Yun Qing sat on his shoulder and nodded, then coldly took out a dreg of a pill from her storage bag and put it in her mouth.

It seems that Zong Yunze has no plans to return to the sect anytime soon.

[Host, you don't have to be so aloof all the time. This is your beloved Daoist partner!]

You've already died once, and you've finally come back to life. You should cherish this relationship even more. He's treating you so well now, so naturally you'll become more dependent on and closer to him.

[You can show more of your true emotions in front of him, without being too restrained. Like when you were holding his finger, it's okay to hold it for a little longer.]

Yun Qing seemed thoughtful. [Understood.]

Then she reached out and grabbed a strand of Zong Yunze's hair. "I'm so worried that if he flies away, I'll be blown away."

System: ...So you're planning to swing on his hair like a swing?
