Qi Yu saw Si Qing not answering and started to tear up, "Si Qing, do you still resent me? Otherwise, why won't you agree to be in the same study as me."
She looked heartbroken and pitifully squatted in a corner, drawing circles.
Si Qing's forehead veins bulged, and after a long while, he gritted his teeth and nodded, "Fine, alright, let's put the studies together!"
He figured that even if the studies were arranged together, he could choose to work when Qi Yu wasn't around.
This way, his sister couldn't frame him into helping her with tasks.
Si Qing's little plan was working out perfectly in his mind.
But he never expected Qi Yu to be so shameless.
When it was time to work, seeing that Si Qing hadn't come, she eagerly trotted over to find him.
This forced Si Qing to enter the study.
Once inside the study, Qi Yu wasn't much calmer. While listening to the prayers and thoughts of beings from all three realms, she complained:
"It's good that this person is praying sincerely, but the content of the prayer is really strange. They're hoping their little dog can give birth to a purebred wolfdog. What is this? Can I even do that?"
"And this person, their prayer content is also a bit odd. They actually wish to have a wife who is young, beautiful, cute, charming, and possesses immense wealth, yet still remains devoted to them? If there's such a good woman, get me one too."
"This person's prayer content is truly disgusting. They want the old nobleman who is demanding payment from them to die early and be reborn. Tsk, debt must be repaid, it's only natural."
Qi Yu listened as if she were watching gossip, pulling snacks from her storage pouch, placing them on the table, eating, and occasionally commenting.
Initially, Si Qing had been sitting cross-legged in meditation, but he couldn't stand Qi Yu's prayers, each one more bizarre than the last.
Finally, through Qi Yu's deliberate actions, Si Qing also became curious about the content of the prayers. The siblings sat together, food by their sides, and began to listen intently to the prayers.
At first, Si Qing listened out of curiosity.
But at some point, Qi Yu stopped listening to prayers and sat aside reading a storybook.
He listened to the prayers of beings from all three realms, and the more he listened, the more annoyed he became, and he couldn't help but start handling them.
Seeing this, Qi Yu immediately moved, clearing a space, and took her food and storybook to a small soft couch nearby to read.
By the time Si Qing was busy, sweating profusely, and came to his senses, he saw himself working frantically while Qi Yu, having eaten her fill, had fallen asleep from reading her storybook.
Si Qing: "..."
He wanted to run away from home!
Perhaps Si Qing's gaze was too intense, and Qi Yu, while sleeping, was finally woken by his stare.
"Sister, I think we need to have a good talk," Si Qing took a deep breath.
Qi Yu looked at him with pleading eyes.
Si Qing met her pitiful gaze, paused, and his words got stuck.
Qi Yu seized the opportunity and said tearfully, "Oh, I feel like my body hasn't recovered yet, I'm so tired and uncomfortable."
"But it's okay, I can do the Heavenly Dao's work."
"Si Qing, if you don't want to accompany me, then forget it. You can go back to your room. I can do it alone."
She said this, but her actions were those of a classic Lin Daiyu.
Si Qing had seen through her.
He had originally intended to harden his heart and pretend not to understand her hidden meaning.
But seeing Qi Yu's teary eyes, he ultimately... couldn't bear it and finally said against his will:
"Alright, alright. If you're like this, then I'll help you with some of it, only some. Once you've adapted to the Heavenly Dao's work, you must do it properly."
Qi Yu nodded vigorously.
Afterward, she completely let loose, using the convenience of her clone to descend to the mortal realm and play.
By the time Si Qing discovered it, Qi Yu's primordial spirit had already gone far away.
"Sister!" Si Qing looked in the direction Qi Yu had fled, absolutely furious.
He summoned a clone to descend to the mortal realm, intending to capture her.
Qi Yu had been prepared for this. The first thing she did upon descending to the mortal realm was to go to the South Sea and bring back a large amount of seafood, then head straight to the Nine Heavens.
Nine Heavens.
Shao Feng was muttering curses, sitting there reviewing official documents.
An Nuo was by his side, eating fruit with her feet up.
Sensing Qi Yu's presence, An Nuo was the first to jump up and give Qi Yu a full embrace, "Baby, how do you have time to come down and see your mother?"
While asking, An Nuo pulled Qi Yu to sit down and eat fruit.
Qi Yu placed the seafood she brought from the South Sea on the table. Just as she was about to snuggle into An Nuo's arms and act spoiled, Si Qing, who had followed behind, beat her to it:
"Mother, what do you mean 'have time to come down'? Sister doesn't have time at all. She sneaked down and left all the work to me. You tell us, is there anyone like her?"
Si Qing, full of grievances, said, "I came down using a clone spell. My true body is still in the 13th Heaven diligently working."
An Nuo looked at Si Qing's miserable face and rushed to hug him, offering him some comfort.
Shao Feng sat at his desk, looking coldly at Si Qing, and sneered, "Is it very hard? Serves you right. Your father isn't having an easy time either."
As he spoke, he threw official documents from his desk to Si Qing one by one, "Look, look, what kind of nonsense are these? Is this what the Heavenly Emperor should be doing?"
"These documents contain everything."
"Greetings, even trivial matters from the mortal realm, and even when they need to undergo trials of love, they tell me."
"I, a dignified Heavenly Emperor, am managing not important matters, but all sorts of trivial, insignificant things, just like a village chief in the human world."
"And there are always hundreds of these messy documents."
"Neither of you does a single bit of work."
Qi Yu, hugging An Nuo, declared her innocence, "Father, it's not my fault. Why didn't you immediately push this burden onto someone else back then? If I were you, the moment I took on this burden, I would have immediately said that the merits of the West Sea Dragon King are higher than mine, and this matter should rightfully be handled by him."
"You didn't say that then, you were completely stunned. The arrow was already on the string, and I had no choice."
Shao Feng felt wronged, but Shao Feng said nothing.
After watching the commotion for a while, Si Qing slowly asked, "So, Sister, when do you plan to go back to work? You're not planning to just loaf around forever, are you? Please tell me you're not!"
Qi Yu felt like she understood why the Law was a chain.
Si Qing was precisely that chain.
His sole purpose every day was to bind her back to the 13th Heaven to work!
Qi Yu threw a pleading look at An Nuo.
An Nuo understood immediately and quickly said to Qi Yu and Si Qing, "Since you're both here, there's actually one more thing that needs your help. The Evil Cold Purgatory, do you remember it?"
