Free Web NovelChapter 868: Chapter 27: The Eldest Miss of Sky City
"Go check out! Stop thinking about useless things," Kong Hou’s blunt voice suddenly interrupted Cui Wei’s sorrowful thoughts.
Cui Wei let out a sound, came back to her senses, and hurriedly got up to pay. She completely forgot about the sorrowful matters from a moment ago.
Then Tianmiao took the three to go shopping and buy stuff.
Fenglan Sect’s specialties were quite numerous. Especially medicinal herbs, wild mushrooms, and so on.
Tianmiao bought quite a lot, planning to take them back as gifts for the four elders.
Cui Wei carried the items at the back. She carried some on her back and held many in her arms. Kong Hou wouldn’t let her put them in the storage space; she had to carry them by hand. Meanwhile, Kong Hou and Dong Xiao followed leisurely behind Tianmiao, both empty-handed. Kong Hou really didn’t hold back when bullying the little doggie.
When Cui Wei had delivered the items to Tianmiao’s courtyard and was about to leave, Kong Hou called out to her.
"Little doggie, we’re leaving tomorrow. You better behave and sweep the floor here. You lost the bet, so you have to accept the consequences, that person won’t come to save you," Kong Hou said with a toothy grin.
"You’re leaving? Where to?" Cui Wei felt a pang of panic and asked urgently. Hearing this, she didn’t even think of He Ling; her first reaction was that Kong Hou was leaving, and she wondered if she’d never see him again.
"I don’t know, depends on the master," Kong Hou shook his head.
"Then, then... can I still see you, sir?" Cui Wei hesitated before carefully asking.
Kong Hou scratched his head, "What’s with you, little doggie? Shouldn’t you be eager for me to leave? Haven’t you had enough of me bullying you?"
What kind of bullying is this... Cui Wei smiled bitterly in her heart. She had already understood that that person would never come to save her, not ever.
From the start, it was a mistake, and she realized it too late.
"It’s not too late, you finally know now," Kong Hou laughed heartily, "I thought you were hopeless, but you’re not, you’re not. Don’t look so sad; your Divine Sense was crying so loudly, of course I heard it."
Cui Wei was stunned, was her Divine Sense crying?
"Alright, stop crying," Kong Hou carried on, "Actually, the master and the sect leader had decided long ago, if you wake up, you should stay at Fenglan Sect and atone for fifty years. Once the time’s up, you can go wherever you like." Kong Hou suddenly grabbed Cui Wei and pressed down hard on her forehead, "Let me help you awaken the power of your bloodline. Maybe it’s because you haven’t awakened your power that you’re this foolish."
Cui Wei only felt a sharp pain in her head, followed by a great clarity. A strange force was flowing inside her body.
Kong Hou released her, waving his hand in front of her face, looking at the still dazed Cui Wei, he said regretfully, "Sigh, still so foolish."
Cui Wei: "..."
Cui Wei remained silent for a moment, then asked, "Sir, after fifty years, can I come find you?"
"You don’t think you have to stay here every day for fifty years, do you? During this time, you can apply for leave and go out. If you miss me, apply for leave and come to Sky City to find me." Kong Hou laughed, trying to emulate his master by patting Cui Wei’s head, but he wasn’t skilled enough and ended up turning Cui Wei’s hair into a bird’s nest.
But Cui Wei laughed, her smile bright as flowers, and she nodded vigorously, "Yes, sir."
"Alright, you can go back now. Here, take this." Kong Hou handed Cui Wei a box, "Considering you finally woke up, I’ll give you a gift. Just something I bought casually just now."
Cui Wei happily accepted it, respectfully performed a formal salute to Kong Hou, and then retreated.
Tianmiao and Fenglan Sect Master stood under the eaves, watching Cui Wei’s departing figure.
Wei Yunshu absentmindedly asked, "She awakened, but still seems quite weak."
"When did I ever say that her awakening would increase combat effectiveness? Her bloodline’s powers are wonderfully something else," Tianmiao smiled.
"What is it?" Wei Yunshu asked curiously.
(Where are those little angels always reporting on the first Chapter, did school start? I miss you, ahhhh)
