But her way of not even being able to hold a brush properly is truly irresistibly cute. The latest_epɪ_sodes are on_the n͟o͟v͟e͟l͟f͟i͟r͟e͟.net
Feeling like Nie Jiuque across from her was laughing, she glanced up and glared at him, then lowered her head to continue copying.
"You better not talk to me, otherwise..."
"..." She didn’t speak, probably couldn’t think of how to deal with him.
Nie Jiuque also stayed silent, sitting quietly across from her, resting his chin on one hand, watching her with interest, occasionally picking up things she had painstakingly copied to take a look.
Seeing her struggling to write, occasionally shaking her sore little hands, Nie Jiuque said:
"Why so serious? Just move your fingers and let the brush write on its own, isn’t that easier?"
"You think you’re the only clever one? My dad would notice at a glance."
"That’s because your Immortal Technique isn’t skilled enough. If it were me, I guarantee your dad wouldn’t notice."
Hearing him say that, she couldn’t help but look up at him, seemingly tempted.
"Do you want me to help you?" he said with a smile.
She pursed her lips, her eyes fluttered for a moment as if considering, but in the end, she shook her head and continued lowering her head to copy.
Nie Jiuque slightly frowned, unable to understand why she didn’t want his help when it was so obviously difficult for her.
"Are you sure you don’t want my help?"
"You hurry up and leave, nothing good happens when I’m with you."
The next moment, a fragrant scent reached her nose, and she wrinkled her little nose, then looked up.
When she saw several exquisite pastries suddenly appearing on the table, her eyes couldn’t look away. Being under house arrest meant she only got two meals a day.
Seeing her face full of craving, Nie Jiuque laughed so hard his eyes curved.
She couldn’t help but swallow her saliva, and after waiting a while without hearing Nie Jiuque tell her to eat, she couldn’t help but ask.
"You... what does this mean?"
Nie Jiuque reached out and pushed a plate of pastries in front of her: "Brought these for you."
"Hmph, don’t think just because you give me something delicious, I’ll forgive you. I’m under house arrest and copying because of you."
"Alright, alright, it was my fault, my mistake." Nie Jiuque admitted generously.
"That’s more like it." Only then did she drop the pretense, reaching out to take a piece of pastry and started eating.
"Eat slowly, there’s no one fighting you for it." Nie Jiuque said, reaching out to wipe the corner of her mouth.
Seeing the two ink marks on her face, he couldn’t help but laugh again.
"Did you come here just to bring me food?" She took a moment to ask him.
Nie Jiuque poured her a cup of water, handed it to her, and then said.
"Came to see if you got punished, didn’t expect you actually didn’t let me down."
He had actually come looking for her once before, but the Immortal Realm is so vast, and she was grounded, so he didn’t find her the first time.
"You’re so annoying, you can’t say more than three good words."
If it weren’t for the food, she definitely would have chased him away again.
Nie Jiuque chuckled, said nothing.
"By the way, how did you find me? The Immortal Realm is so vast, and there are so many Heavenly Soldiers guarding it."
"You better not come again, if you’re discovered, the Immortal Lord will definitely punish you, and I’ll suffer with you."
"The Immortal Lord? Punish me? Would he dare?" Nie Jiuque’s tone was contemptuous.
Hearing his words, she began to scrutinize him seriously.
Seeing her curious eyes scanning his face back and forth, Nie Jiuque asked, "Did you discover anything?"
"What did you discover?"
