CHAPTER 375: CHAPTER 373: SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST

"Jiaojiao, how’s it going?"

"You really scared your sister Qiqi just now!"

"I’m telling you, I’ve never seen your sister Qiqi cry so hard!"

Seeing Yuan Bao, Mrs. Wei Shen spoke up with a smile.

"Mom, what are you saying? I wasn’t nearly as pitiful as you made it sound!"

With her mom teasing her like this, Wei Qiqi felt a bit embarrassed.

"Jiaojiao, let me tell you, I wasn’t crying that hard!"

"..."

Witnessing the interactions between his godmother and god sister, Yuan Bao couldn’t help but want to laugh.

"Sister Qiqi, you’re lying!"

Yuan Bao looked at Wei Qiqi with a grin, "If you had wiped the tears off your face first, maybe I would believe you!"

"Ah...?!"

Upon hearing Yuan Bao’s words, Wei Qiqi quickly reached up to wipe her face.

Seeing her reaction, Mrs. Wei Shen couldn’t help but laugh too; her silly daughter, such a grown-up, yet not as clever as her goddaughter.

Noticing the way her mom was laughing, Wei Qiqi finally realized she was tricked by Yuan Bao.

"Oh, naughty Jiaojiao, I was so worried about you, and you played a prank on me; just wait till I get you!"

Saying this, Wei Qiqi reached out to tickle Yuan Bao.

"Sister Qiqi, I was wrong, I really know I was wrong, I won’t dare do it again!"

Yuan Bao quickly surrendered.

Even though she had the soul of an adult, the problem was, when it came to tickling, it didn’t matter if you were an adult or a child. As long as it tickled, you couldn’t help but laugh.

"Alright, you two, stop messing around!"

After Yuan Bao and Wei Qiqi had played around for a while, Mrs. Wei Shen stepped in to separate them, then carefully asked about Yuan Bao’s physical condition.

Faced with her godmother’s concern, Yuan Bao could only tell a little white lie.

After all, both the transmigration and the space were secrets she couldn’t reveal to anyone.

"Maybe it’s because of the cultivation technique I’m practicing!"

The reason for her fainting couldn’t be told to anyone. The only explanation Yuan Bao could think of was her martial arts training.

After all, her martial arts training was different from others’.

In Yuan Bao’s view, her cultivation seemed more like cultivating immortality.

Upon hearing the situation Yuan Bao described and knowing that her master was the highly skilled person by the Eldest Princess’ side, Mrs. Wei Shen didn’t ask further. She just instructed Yuan Bao to recount the fainting incident to her master when she saw him next.

Yuan Bao naturally agreed wholeheartedly.

In fact, she would soon meet her enigmatic master again.

As for whether she could truly become her master’s disciple, Yuan Bao wasn’t too sure. However, she was now quite proficient in the Basic Body Technique.

Logically, her chances of passing her master’s test were high.

Of course, one should remain humble.

Before achieving the final goal, one mustn’t have too high expectations. After all, the ancestors have said that the greater the expectation, the greater the disappointment.

As an adult, uh, not yet fully grown adult, Yuan Bao felt she should have a mature mindset.

That night, lying in bed, Yuan Bao appeared to be asleep but was actually letting her mind enter the space once more.

For the already deceased Sheng Xueyi, Yuan Bao felt no guilt.

Though they were fellow transmigrators, they were also rivals in the same trade.

Moreover, despite Yuan Bao’s dislike for Sheng Xueyi, she had never thought of actively targeting her. On the contrary, Sheng Xueyi even developed a murderous intent towards her, which was simply outrageous!

Reading Sheng Xueyi’s journal, Yuan Bao gained a rough understanding of future events.

After finishing the journal, Yuan Bao suddenly felt as if she were reading a book.

But, who was the protagonist in this book?

Sheng Xueyi?

According to the theory that protagonists don’t die, the already deceased Sheng Xueyi was unlikely the protagonist.

"Could it be that I’m the protagonist?"

Such a thought suddenly popped into Yuan Bao’s head.

She was also a transmigrator, and now she also had a space.

Wait, no, I shouldn’t think like that!

Sheng Xueyi was a transmigrator, had a space, and reincarnated; with such a collection of miraculous experiences, she couldn’t be the protagonist either. What made me, a little Douding, feel so confident?

Stay low-key!

Survive!

Don’t jump!

Considering Sheng Xueyi’s downfall, the slight joy that had just arisen in Yuan Bao’s heart instantly vanished without a trace.

The lesson was right before her eyes; if she couldn’t learn from others, who knows when she’d meet her end too.

"Survive, develop slowly, and eventually claim victory!"

Having put Sheng Xueyi’s journal away, Yuan Bao returned her consciousness to her body and obediently went to sleep.

She had made up her mind, from now on, to be a well-behaved and sensible little girl.

Even if she knew some future events, she would absolutely not get involved.

And also, she would diligently practice her martial arts.

If she could become a master like her teacher one day, then there’d be nowhere in the world she couldn’t go.

...

Waking up to someone calling her, Yuan Bao continued to be taken out of the city by Mei Jiu to practice the Breathing Technique her master had taught her. Until she became strong, practicing couldn’t stop.

In addition to practicing, she also had to study hard and aspire to be a diligent little child.

After finishing the Breathing Technique training, she went down the mountain to practice the Basic Body Technique.

When Yuan Bao returned to the city with Mei Jiu, she saw her master, whom she hadn’t seen for many days, standing outside the Wei family gate.

"Master, Master, you’ve come to see me!"

Seeing Yuan Bao rushing towards him, Ying Li shook his body and stepped aside.

But Yuan Bao was relentless, using the Basic Body Technique to continue pursuing her master.

Ying Li dodged again, using the same Basic Body Technique.

Thus, the two of them, one big and one small, played a game of tag outside the Wei family’s gate.

Naturally, Yuan Bao was the poor little chick!

"Not bad!"

Although Yuan Bao ultimately couldn’t catch Ying Li, her effort earned his approval.

"Master, does this mean I’m your disciple now?"

Although she called him Master every time they met, Ying Li had never officially acknowledged Yuan Bao as his disciple.

"Not even close!"

Even though Ying Li was pleased with Yuan Bao’s progress, becoming her disciple wasn’t so simple.

Yuan Bao wasn’t discouraged by Ying Li’s words. After all, she still had plenty of time.

Previously, Ying Li had said that as long as she could defeat Mei Jiu by the time she was ten, she could officially become her disciple. Until then, Yuan Bao would continue to work hard but wouldn’t set overly high expectations.

In any case, it’s just something to say every time they meet, it’s very much like a little child!

"Starting tomorrow, you will practice this!"

Ying Li handed another small booklet to Yuan Bao.

As Yuan Bao opened the booklet to see what it was, Ying Li leaped into the air, "I’ll come back to check after some time!"

"If I find out you’ve been slacking, then our ties will end here!"
