The Cool and Aloof Senior Sister Always Flirts with Me

Chapter 27: Apprenticeship

That night, the wind howled under the dark sky.

Chu Fu held a small box filled with food, and with a gentle exertion of his arm, he grasped the vine and slid down the cliff.

He possessed exceptional talent, being a rare variant Wind Spirit Root within the sect.

Currently, he was a preparatory disciple in the outer sect, and after a few years of experience, he could enter the inner sect.

However, at this moment, his handsome face was clouded with gloom.

As Chu Fu entered the cave, he slightly frowned at the faint smell of blood permeating the air.

The cave was pitch dark and started off quite narrow; after about seven steps, it gradually widened.

He could faintly hear the sound of water.

Chu Fu continued walking forward for a while.

At the end of the cave, there was unexpectedly a fairly large waterfall.

Water cascaded down from the cave wall, making a crashing sound.

He could vaguely see a blurry figure behind the curtain of water.

Chu Fu opened the food box, and to his surprise, two snow-white rabbits sprang out.

Once they hit the ground, they panicked and ran about wildly.

In an instant, a massive suction force suddenly emanated from behind the waterfall!

The two rabbits let out terrified cries, and before Chu Fu could see clearly, they were sucked in by that immense force.

"Crack... Crack... Crack..."

The bloody smell in the cave intensified.

Then, a hoarse voice that sounded like metal scraping against metal echoed, wavering and seeming quite weak: "Thank you, Young Master Chu, for your assistance this past month. Otherwise, with this injured and frail body of mine, I fear I would have perished within three days."

Chu Fu forced a smile and replied, "I stumbled into the cave by accident; it was impolite. Since the Demon Lord is recuperating here, I could not ignore it."

"Just a small effort."

The person behind the water curtain fell silent for a moment before the metallic voice spoke again: "You are indeed a kind-hearted child. It has been a long time since I felt this way. A thousand years ago, before I fell into darkness, I was also a young man with chivalry like yours."

Chu Fu chuckled softly.

His forced smile caught the attention of the figure behind the water curtain.

"What's wrong? Did you encounter something unpleasant on your descent?"

Chu Fu licked his lips and said softly, "To be honest, esteemed one, I ran into some trouble this time."

"Mm?"

In the dead of night, only the sound of flowing water could be heard.

Chu Fu sat down on a rock and recounted the events of his descent.

Upon hearing this, the person behind the waterfall burst into laughter: "So all this time, you were belittled by the woman you adore? Is the treasure I gave you not impressive enough?"

Chu Fu said, "It was indeed impressive at first, but..."

"But what? Is it because that woman kept mocking you, saying the Demon Lord's artifact is worthless trash, that even the Master Sister has looked down on you?"
