Chapter 165 The Cold and Aloof Immortal's Darkened Daoist Partner 14
Du Caicai muttered in a strong voice, "Nonsense."
Then take out a piece of clothing and put it on in a few quick movements.
Yun Qing reached out and tried to pry Zong Yunze's hand away, "Senior Brother..."
You covered me up completely!
Although Zong Yunze only loosely covered her and left her some space, it still felt like being locked in a cage, which wasn't a pleasant feeling.
Upon hearing the sound, Du Caicai couldn't help but look at Zong Yunze. She hadn't noticed before, but now that Zong Yunze had let go, she realized that he was actually holding a little person in his arms, and it was a little girl!
No wonder they made him wear clothes.
However, something is very wrong with Zong Yunze!
When has Immortal Venerable Yunze ever been so disheveled? He's even holding a little girl in his arms, showing absolutely no manners!
He glanced at the docile black snake beside him. Had he actually started keeping pets?
What triggered Zong Yunze?
He looked at Yun Qing and asked, "And who is this...?"
This little guy just called Zong Yunze "Senior Brother"!
Seeing that Yunqing was craning her neck to look at people and was having some trouble, Zong Yunze pulled her out of his clothes and put her on his shoulder before saying, "My Daoist partner, Chu Yunqing."
Yun Qing glanced at him sideways, pondering, "System, is he serious?"
She couldn't think of anything she had to offer that would make Zong Yunze go to such lengths.
Even if he really did have something in mind, she's in such a vulnerable state that she's completely at the mercy of others. Why would he have to make such a huge sacrifice to achieve that?
Not only will he have to betray himself, but it could also affect his relationship with the female lead.
Although Zong Yunze has character flaws, he's not stupid!
If you want to control a remnant of her soul, there are much better ways.
Yun Qing couldn't help but think about it seriously.
Since the plot is different from the beginning, the male lead Zong Yunze should also be affected, right?
According to the original plot, she should still be asleep, while Zong Yunze should be doting on his little disciple at the Liuyun Immortal Sect.
However, the plot has now gone astray. For some unknown reason, Zong Yunze took her remnant soul and left the Liuyun Immortal Sect.
In this way, he and the female lead probably haven't had a chance to develop any romantic feelings for each other yet.
That's very likely, he still really does consider Chu Yunqing his Daoist partner!
But what happened to his image being ruined?
This isn't how he and Chu Yunqing interact!
Don't say that he cherishes his partner even more because she was resurrected. If he really cherished her that much, he wouldn't have fallen for someone else.
Moreover, she really felt that Zong Yunze was using his good looks to seduce her.
Yun Qing frowned, still somewhat puzzled.
The system was incredibly excited. Had the host's half-hearted affection finally stopped slacking off?
However, it didn't dare to speak up for Zong Yunze too obviously. It had already tried before, but the effect was not good. It was worried that if it made it too obvious, the host would suspect that it was in cahoots with Zong Yunze.
It hadn't forgotten that its real mission was to ensure the safety of its host, while the host's purpose was to appease its master and prevent him from becoming too agitated.
It would be best if we could be together sweetly and happily, but it's not a must.
As long as the host is here, it is enough to calm the master's soul and prevent him from becoming violent and destroying the small world together.
So it simply echoed her words: "[They do seem quite serious.]"
Then, it waits expectantly for the host's reaction.
Yun Qing, however, said: "Forget it, I don't want to think about it anymore. In the end, he'll still fall for someone else anyway."
She couldn't be bothered with this nonsensical plot anymore; she just needed to maintain her established persona.
System: ...I really shouldn't have had any expectations of you.
Du Caicai looked at Yun Qing with some surprise. She didn't expect that Zong Yunze would actually wake up his Daoist partner and even reshape his physical body.
However, this physical body...
Du Caicai looked at Yun Qing, who was so small with chubby cheeks, yet still maintained a cool and aloof expression. She was just too cute.
He couldn't help but glance at it a few more times, and then he was met with Zong Yunze's chilling gaze.
Du Caicai: ...
He couldn't help but feel a little doubtful. He had clearly heard Zong Yunze mention this Daoist partner before, and his attitude was somewhat cold. He had thought that their feelings had faded.
But what's going on now? Why do you get jealous and resentful if someone just glances at you?
Could it be that his Daoist partner was too adorable after being reconstructed into a physical body, and he fell for her again?
Du Caicai muttered to herself for a moment, then greeted Yun Qing warmly and solemnly, "Hello, sister-in-law, I am Du Caicai, the 'Cai' in 'cooking,' and I love cooking."
Yun Qing: ? ? ?
All she could think about was food.
Du Caicai was warm, generous, and unpretentious. She invited Zong Yunze to sit at the stone table in the courtyard, had tea and pastries served, and then rushed off to cook herself.
Yun Qing couldn't help but feel a little expectant. After taking the pastry that Zong Yunze had broken into pieces for her, she couldn't help but say, "Sect Leader Du's name is quite unique. It sounds like he has a connection with the kitchen."
Zong Yunze explained, "Du Caicai was brought back from the mortal world by his master. She was a child from a poor family who never had enough to eat. Her name was given by her parents with good wishes, hoping that she would never lack food in the future."
"It is said that he has two older brothers, one named Du Rou Rou and the other named Du Fan Fan."
"Although many people think his name doesn't sound good, he is quite satisfied with it and has never thought about changing it."
Yun Qing nodded, completely understanding his parents' wishes. Being well-fed and watered was such a wonderful thing!
Mmm...this pastry is really delicious!
Yun Qing ate without looking up, and didn't even realize that her body had suddenly grown larger. She almost rolled off the edge of the table, but luckily Zong Yunze caught her in his arms in time.
Yun Qing sat on his lap, paused for a moment, then picked up a pastry with a haughty expression, took a bite, then another, and then yet another.
This is much more enjoyable to eat than when she was a tiny little one.
Zong Yunze picked up the teacup and held it to her lips, his cool voice tinged with helplessness, "Don't rush, have some tea. When we leave, we can take some more pastries back with us."
Yun Qing took a sip of tea from his hand, her eyes brightened, and she said lightly, "This tea is good."
"Then bring some tea leaves too."
Du Caicai was busy in the kitchen, wielding a spatula and working enthusiastically, completely unaware that the aloof and ethereal Immortal Venerable Yunze was planning to pack up the leftovers.
Yun Qing ate two pieces of pastry before realizing that she was still being held in Zong Yunze's arms.
She quickly got off him and sat down on the stone bench next to him.
Zong Yunze didn't stop her, but simply reached out and wiped the crumbs of pastry from the corner of her lips, asking, "Qingqing, do you want to grow up really fast?"
Yun Qing looked up at him, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "No rush."
Zong Yunze tapped her forehead with his finger, then patted her head. "Don't worry about it, I'm in a hurry too."
Yun Qing: ? ? ?
Why are you in such a hurry! I have a feeling you have ulterior motives!
Because of Zong Yunze's actions, Yun Qing was able to maintain her figure for a longer time this time, and she ate the pastries to her heart's content.
Du Caicai quickly prepared a large table of sumptuous dishes. When she returned, she saw a stunningly beautiful woman sitting next to Zong Yunze.
Hmm...this looks familiar.
Before he could react, the cold and beautiful woman shrank in an instant.
Zong Yunze reached out and skillfully scooped the person up.
Du Caicai looked closely and exclaimed, "Huh? Isn't that my adorable sister-in-law?!"
