Fortune Across the World

Chapter 143: Modifying the Flaming Whip and Stirring the Beauty's Wrath (Part 2)

"Uh..." Ding Qiyu was at a loss, watching Le Zhuyi's graceful yet intimidating presence, her hand seeming ready to grasp the whip again. The small "Qiyu" within her shivered, unsure how to explain.

Le Mengchun, realizing her mistake, tried to use her charm on her sister, putting down the mechanized horse and gently taking Le Zhuyi's hand. "Sister~"

Le Zhuyi, unable to resist her adorable junior sister, softened her tone, "Starting tomorrow, Mengchun, you won't come here anymore. Let Menglan take over."

Le Mengchun's face fell, pouting pitifully. "Sister~ I won't do it again, please don't change! I promise to watch Xiao... the villain closely!" She didn't want to lose such an enjoyable task so soon.

"No, there's no room for negotiation." Seeing Mengchun's eyes darting around, Le Zhuyi added, "And don't think about sneaking over again!" If this continued, they'd have fun while the Flaming Whip remained unimproved. With a glance at the seemingly innocent Ding Qiyu, she realized both Mengchun and Menglan had been completely won over by the little carpenter in just a few days!

Mengchun, her little scheme exposed, wilted like a frost-bitten plant. "Sister~" she whined, still pleading, but seeing her sister's firm stance, she dragged Menglan down with her, muttering, "Besides, Menglan isn't as good as I am. Yesterday, she had Xiao Yu fix the wooden horse..."

If she couldn't play with Xiao Yu, Menglan shouldn't either! Who told her to always leave Mengchun out of her fun?

Le Zhuyi, taken aback again, was about to ask "What?!" when she heard Menglan's voice from the door, "Chun Chun, Xiao Yu, I'm here!"

In the next moment, Menglan's bouncing figure froze upon seeing the room's occupants.

Le Zhuyi felt her blood pressure rise. In just a few days, both Menglan and Mengchun had been charmed by the little carpenter, playing happily together. What about the Flaming Whip's improvement?! Unconsciously, she reached for the Qianling Flaming Whip at her waist, casting a sharp glare at Ding Qiyu.

Even in anger, Le Zhuyi's glare carried a certain allure. But having experienced her whip firsthand, Ding Qiyu couldn't appreciate it, chills running down her spine. She swallowed hard, not daring to act out.

"Starting tomorrow, neither of you are allowed here!" Le Zhuyi declared through gritted teeth, leaving the bamboo house without a backward glance, her frustration palpable. The little carpenter was too insidious, and the young sisters, easily swayed by novelties, were no match. Tomorrow, she resolved to have Sister Han oversee them, confident she wouldn't be so easily swayed.

The three left behind exchanged awkward glances, the young sisters both looking a mix of obedient and regretful.

With the fierce Yi Girl gone, Ding Qiyu sighed in relief. "Wow, Yi Girl's got quite the presence. Do you two get scolded often?"

Le Mengchun shook her head. "No, Sister Yi's really nice!"

Menglan, anxious for Xiao Yu not to misunderstand their beloved senior sister, quickly added, "It's just that Master left three months ago, and all the sect's affairs fell on Sister Yi, not to mention the trouble with the Taotie Armor bullying our sisters." Realizing their fault, Menglan admitted, "Today's mess was Chun Chun's and my fault for distracting you... Sister Yi doesn't know you yet. She was upset for everyone's sake, so please don't misunderstand her."
