The Ancestor of our Sect Isn't Acting like an Elder Chapter 107

Chapter 107: 107

107 – Cosmetics

“Hey… are you still angry?”

In the room of Merak Temple’s Temple Master, Xue Qilin who was able to enter after a period of cajoling leaned forward, popped her head out from behind Qi Qiqi sitting at the table, and turned her head to face the other party .

Qi Qiqi who has already changed into a new set of clothes is sitting the expressionlessly, showing that she is still angry .

After glancing at Xue Qilin, she looked away and faced the la.s.s with the back of her pretty head .

Nothing, not even a snort? Xue Qilin leaned back awkwardly, feeling a headache .

Sticking her head out, she observed Qi Qiqi for a while and found that the anger on the other party’s face had subsided .

She’s probably just being difficult! Hopeful, Xue Qilin decided to persist and repeat the action from before, but from the other side .

“Don’t be angry!”

Xue Qilin shook Qi Qiqi’s arm, acting like a spoiled child .

“…”

Qi Qiqi still just shot her a glance and looked away .

Cheeky, Xue Qilin moved her head along with Qi Qiqi’s gaze and stuck her delicate face before the other’s eyes .

“Look, I’m about to cry!”

She blinked her eyes sadly and pretended to wipe away nonexistent tears from the corners of her eyes .

Unable to bear it any longer, White Dragon in Qi Qiqi’s arms released a “meow” and pushed her hand with its furry paws .

Beautiful a.s.sistance! Xue Qilin cast a grateful glance at White Dragon from an angle that Qi Qiqi could not see .

“Meow?”

Apparently not understanding what she meant, the white cat tilted its head . cute .

However, Xue Qilin no longer paid it attention . She shook her sorrowful face before Qi Qiqi .

Qi Qiqi pushed the unbudging small face that is both adorable and detestable, and then wrinkled her eyebrows and uttered: “I’m warning you, stop shaking your face in front of me! It’s really irksome!”

“How can it be irksome? Look at how cute I am!”

Xue Qilin wrinkled her nose, and then suddenly made a grimace and showed her exquisite little tongue .

“Bwa!”

Seeing that weird expression, Qi Qiqi couldn’t help but laugh out loud .

“Oh, you laughed!”

Xue Qilin revealed an expression like that of a child who found that someone else has made a mistake and pointed at Qi Qiqi .

“So what?”

Qi Qiqi used an unkind tone .

“Nothing…”

Xue Qilin removed her pitiable expression and sat opposite Qi Qiqi .

“If you laughed, it means that you aren’t angry anymore . ”

“Ah?”

Perhaps unable to adapt to Xue Qilin’s change of att.i.tude momentarily, Qi Qiqi is stunned .

“Who said I’m not angry!”

Qi Qiqi who finally reacted puffed up her cheeks . No longer looking away, she began to prattle on .

“Really annoying . What logic is that… It’s just sophistry . I have never seen such a thick-skinned person . I didn’t let you in, yet you still pestered me and forced your way in . I don’t want to talk to you, yet you are still hara.s.sing me!”

Xue Qilin propped her face up with her hands, looked at Qi Qiqi with a grin on her face, and listened to her in silence .

“Ah! How vexing . ”

Qi Qiqi stared at Xue Qilin . Taking exception with it, Xue Qilin hummed a tune – “la la la” .

“Now leave . Seeing you upsets me . ”

I won’t leave! Xue Qilin doesn’t care that Qi Qiqi is driving her away . She even picked up a tea cup and poured herself tea .

“Really, the reason why you’re upset…”

Xue Qilin put down the tea cup and said with an ambivalent smile: “Is because you are torn inside – I have clearly forgiven her, so why can’t I be frank and tell her the truth . ”

“Go away!”

“I won’t . ”

“You…”

“If I don’t leave, what will you do about it?! I will follow you until you forgive me . I will follow you wherever you go – when you go to the latrine, I will squat down outside the door; when you take a bath, I will watch you wash yourself; when you go to bed, I will sleep next to you . ”

“You hoodlum!”

“Since you don’t take pity on me begging forgiveness, then I have no choice but to be a hoodlum . ”

Xue Qilin grinned and revealed a neat row of delicate, pearl-white teeth . At the same time, she spread her arms .

“Unbelievable! I misjudged you! How can you be so shameless!”

Qi Qiqi’s eyebrows wrinkled more and more as she spoke .

“As our Young Ancestor, if word of your shameless behavior leaks outside, how do you think other people will view our Merak Temple?!”

There is a tray of candied fruit on the table . Looking pleased with herself, Xue Qilin took a piece and threw it into her mouth . It was a piece of candied peach .

“If you stop being angry at me, then won’t this be over?”

“Who apologizes the way you do!”

Qi Qiqi is so angry that she raised her hand and wanted to slap the table . But probably because she remembered the accident from a long time ago, she ultimately withdrew her hand .

But this way she has no way to vent .

Qi Qiqi fidgeted with her hair for a while, and then shed the expression on her face like a balloon deflating and released a long sigh .

“You’re really repulsive…”

Sounding helpless, Qi Qiqi rubbed her temples, tired .

Almost there! Xue Qilin mused .

“Okay, I was in the wrong… Don’t be angry! Come, have something to eat!”

“Hmm?”

Xue Qilin picked up a piece of candied fruit and placed it before the girl’s mouth, trying to feed her .

“I don’t want to!”

Qi Qiqi flinched back, refusing the la.s.s’s kindness .

“Yo yo yo, this is a rare treat! You really don’t want it?”

Qi Qiqi frowned, hesitated for a while, and then finally opened her mouth to accept Xue Qilin’s so-called treat .

However, she bit empty air . The hand holding the candied fruit withdrew suddenly .

Realizing that she is being teased, Qi Qiqi’s cheeks turned bright red at once – both from embarra.s.sment and indignation .

“You…! Make me so…”

Before the word “mad” could escape her lips, Xue Qilin threw an orange thing into Qi Qiqi’s mouth .

Qi Qiqi glared while chewing the piece of candied fruit .

Her cheeks bulged as she chewed, looking quite cute . Xue Qilin couldn’t help but poke .

Very elastic and smooth .

“What are you doing?”

Qi Qiqi swallowed the piece of candied fruit and looked at Xue Qilin, displeased .

“I still haven’t forgive you for the obscene words from before . Don’t think that by feeding me my candied fruit, it will make me forgive you, I’m not that cheap!”

“Yes yes yes, I’m at fault! Temple Master Seven is a magnanimous personage, she will forgive me . ”

Xue Qilin swung her small fist back and forth and spoke fawningly .

Qi Qiqi’s eyes suddenly dimmed, as if the red in her eyes lost its original dazzling brilliance, and the dignified look on her face faded quickly .

“Before you came out of seclusion, White Dragon has been with me for 5 years…”

She stroked White Dragon lying on her lap .

“So I am really angry . ”

Not expecting the girl to suddenly speak about her inner feelings, Xue Qilin blinked her eyes dully .

Qi Qiqi must have been only 11 years old when she lost her parents .

Loneliness is a kind of freezing substance that will freeze a person’s heart and ultimately push them into a dark abyss .

Losing your beloved parents is probably the most lonesome thing in the world .

How did she spend the cold nights when she was only 11 years old? Who gave her warmth? Xue Qilin doesn’t think it was Ye Zhen, nor does she think it was Xia Xue .

Was it Luo Qing then? Or was it White Dragon? Xue Qilin isn’t sure . She isn’t Qi Qiqi, and so doesn’t know the answer .

But anyway, during those 5 years, White Dragon must have been Qi Qiqi’s source of warmth – at least one of them .

A deep bond will be born when you depend on one another .

From this, it is no surprise that Qi Qiqi loves White Dragon so much .

“I see ah…”

Xue Qilin’s voice is a little weak .

Then silence ensued .

She wants to say something, but she doesn’t know what to say .

… “Before you came out of seclusion…”

While struggling to find something to say, Xue Qilin suddenly recalled Qi Qiqi’s words .

Does this mean that I already have a place in her heart? Xue Qilin feels a little happy .

She doesn’t know the answer .

But she hopes, she hopes that she does have a place in Qi Qiqi’s heart .

Everyone wants to be viewed as important by the people they like, and Xue Qilin is no exception .

In particular when it’s someone she cares about more than anyone else .

… The reason why people are willing to love is because they hope, hope to be loved in return .

Although it’s just a guess, and perhaps that’s not the answer, but Xue Qilin still chose to believe this wishful guess .

Some people may say that she is foolish .

But fortune favors fools, doesn’t it?

“You now have me as well!”

Feeling a trace of happiness from the bottom of her heart, Xue Qilin grinned foolishly .

“I I I… I, I am not…”

The voice gradually became low, and in the end became indistinct .

Qi Qiqi’s face and ears are both red .

With her lips quivering and eyes wandering about, she looks embarra.s.sed and timid .

She probably doesn’t know how to hide her shyness .

Xue Qilin just looks at her awkward appearance with a beaming smile .

“You’re really annoying!”

Humph . Qi Qiqi crossed her arms, turned her head away, and glanced at Xue Qilin askance . There is still a flush on her face .

“It’s not impossible to forgive you… but I have a condition!”

“What’s the condition?”

Qi Qiqi pressed her index finger against her lips, made an “um…” sound, and tilted her head in contemplation .

It seems that she came up with the condition idea in the spur of the moment .

“My rouge is running out . Go to the town and buy me a box . ”

Appearing satisfied with her request, Qi Qiqi crossed her arms and nodded her head, not realizing that it is actually a very easy request .

“Then don’t put on makeup anymore . ”

To be honest, Xue Qilin doesn’t really like how Qi Qiqi looks after putting on makeup .

This is not to say that Qi Qiqi’s beauty will be spoiled, nor is it to say that her beauty will be sublimated after putting on makeup .

It’s just that women are a kind of mystical creature that may change into someone else after putting on makeup .

When she has makeup on, Qi Qiqi’s looks gorgeous and eye-catching, making it so that people don’t dare to look straight at her .

Even Xue Qilin needs to gather her courage to face the girl when she wears makeup .

“I don’t like it either, but I have to put it on on some occasions . ”

“That’s true…”

Xue Qilin expressed understanding .

Although Qi Qiqi spends most of the time without wearing makeup, but as the Temple Master, she has to wear it on some special occasions as a show of respect in order to look more dignified .

“In other words, it isn’t Internal Affairs Department that prepares it for you?”

Internal Affairs Department is responsible for procuring the necessary items for the entire Merak Temple, which includes daily necessities and cosmetics .

“The color they prepared is too garish… I don’t like it very much . ”

“Yeah, then tell them to procure a lighter color! For example, sakura color!”

Xue Qilin couldn’t help but glance at Qi Qiqi’s lips .

The sakura-colored lips are very beautiful and nicely-shaped, plump but not too thick . The thickness of the lips maintains a delicate and fragile balance .

“It is said that brighter colors are more dignified…”

“Dignified? You mean coquettish!”

Xue Qilin recalled Qi Qiqi’s appearance after she put on makeup and shivered .

It was really flirtatious .

“I think so too, but I can’t dissuade them, so I was thinking about getting some myself…”

Qi Qiqi spoke sulkily: “But I haven’t gone to that kind of place before…”

“What kind of place…”

Xue Qilin rolled her eyes, and then pointed at herself and asked: “Having said that, do you think I’ve ever been to a cosmetics shop before?”

Xue Qilin doesn’t use makeup, she finds it c.u.mbersome .

Her long hair alone makes her head spin, let alone makeup .

“This is precisely why I want you to go! After all, what’s the point if it’s too simple?”

Is it difficult to buy things at a cosmetics shop? Xue Qilin’s forehead broke out in a cold sweat . She can’t make fun of the other party even if she wanted to .

“Don’t look at me with those eyes!”

Qi Qiqi tried to cover Xue Qilin’s eyes hastily .

“I didn’t say that I haven’t gone before!”

“Then you should go again!”

Xue Qilin dodged left and right, not letting Qi Qiqi have her way .

“Then will you go?”

Qi Qiqi withdrew her hands, irritated .

Xue Qilin feels a bit embarra.s.sed . After all, she has never been to a cosmetics shop before . But then she remembered that Shui Yuner seems to have something like rouge paste, and she immediately had an idea – she decided to take Shui Yuner with her .

“Fine, I’ll go . ”

Staring straight at Qi Qiqi’s well proportioned bare feet, Xue Qilin pulled the corners of her mouth .

“Your socks are damaged, I’ll get you another pair . ”

Blinking her eyes, Qi Qiqi responded with an “Okay” .

White Dragon released another meow at this time, appearing to be happy about the reconciliation of the two .
