I'm About to Die, Can't I Buff My Junior Sister's Strength?

439: What are you waiting for, silly girl!This time, Shen Nian took the initiative to propose taking a Junior Sister from the bottom of his heart, not for the sake of that bit of preaching value.

Now, the amount he needed to elevate his Realm was terrifying, and the reward for taking a Junior Sister was nothing more than a drop in the bucket.

It was purely out of consideration for the current miserable state of the Qingqiu Clan.

The hatred accumulated between humans and the Yao Race had lasted too long.

Even if the Qing Qiu Old Ancestor was an undercover agent sent by the Human Race, it would be difficult to resolve.

Even if it were explained, who would believe it?

Where was the proof?

The Qing Qiu Old Ancestor was dead, and the Heavenly Demon Realm was destroyed by Shen Nian.

Why would anyone act as an undercover agent?

Even if Shen Nian spoke up, it would be useless if everyone believed it.

It would still be difficult for the Qingqiu Clan to coexist with the Human Race.

At first, the Human Race might hold back because of Shen Nian, but as time passed, the Qingqiu Clan would inevitably face all kinds of difficulties, framing, and humiliation... using every means to exterminate them.

Some among them were driven by hatred, others by greed for the abilities of the Qingqiu Fox Clan.

Having lived two lifetimes, Shen Nian understood human nature too well.

This was something Shen Nian did not want to see.

After all, Tu Shan Yu had rendered meritorious service to the Human Race.

If not for Shen Nian’s appearance, which disrupted the plot, the Qingqiu Clan should have been a clan of heroes for the Human Race.

In the original plot, they had sacrificed their entire clan...

At this moment, only by taking Tu Shan Youyou under his command, with Shen Nian’s status in the hearts of the entire Human Race, could their clan truly be preserved...

Tu Shan Youyou, who was kneeling on the ground, was stunned, an expression of disbelief on her small face.

”Entering his sect...”

Just then, an old voice rang in her mind, carrying urgency.

”What are you still waiting for, you silly girl!!”

”Quickly call him Senior Brother!”

”Do you have any idea how many people are racking their brains just to get a connection with Emperor Shen right now!”

”If you become Emperor Shen’s Junior Sister, then our Qingqiu Clan won’t be destroyed, but instead will head towards glory!!”

An old woman with gray hair walked out, leaning on a dragon-headed cane.

Her steps were slow, her ancient robe was tattered, and her aura was unstable.

Throughout this journey, she had led the Qingqiu Clan to hide in these turbulent currents, not only having to guard against the remnants of the Yao Race that hadn’t been wiped out but also constantly worrying about being hunted down by the Human Race.

It could be said that the Qingqiu Clan no longer had a place to stand.

”Grandma Ling...” Tu Shan Youyou exclaimed in surprise upon seeing the person.

The old woman reached them and, with the highest etiquette, respectfully knelt and bowed deeply.

”Tu Shan Ling of the Qingqiu lineage pays respects to Emperor Shen!”

”Thank you, Emperor Shen, for accepting our Qingqiu Clan’s Clan Chief, Tu Shan Youyou, as your Junior Sister!”

She didn’t even dare to breathe loudly, her body trembling slightly.

Facing such a supreme existence who had forcefully exterminated the Heavenly Demon Realm, and considering she had harbored some ulterior motives, how could she not be nervous?

”Me?” Tu Shan Youyou looked bewildered.

”When did I become the Clan Chief?”

”Hasn’t Grandma Ling been managing Qingqiu on my behalf all this time? Currently, she has the highest cultivation in the clan...”

Shen Nian looked down at the old woman kneeling beside him and said softly: ”You need not be like this. Since I am willing to accept her as my Junior Sister, I am willing to protect your Qingqiu Clan. However, you are a smart person; I do not want to hear about any more fox demons harming humans...”

He could tell that this old woman was worried that Shen Nian would only care about Tu Shan Youyou and ignore the entire Qingqiu Clan, so she had temporarily bestowed the status of Clan Chief upon Tu Shan Youyou...

Actually, this was somewhat redundant.

Tu Shan Ling immediately kowtowed in excitement and gratitude, her voice resounding with conviction: ”Our Qingqiu Fox Clan will only ever maintain friendly relations with the Human Race for generations to come, and we will absolutely never commit acts of eating humans. If such a thing happens, there will be no need for Emperor Shen to act; I myself will wipe out that lineage!”

”There is no need to be too deliberate. If anyone bullies you, then handle it as you see fit...” Shen Nian spoke indifferently, then turned his gaze to the still dazed little loli, Tu Shan Youyou.

After kowtowing in gratitude, Tu Shan Ling also looked at Tu Shan Youyou and kept signaling with her eyes.

This girl, where did her usual cleverness go!

Why did she act like a fool at the critical moment!

She couldn’t help but want to call him Senior Brother herself; if it were possible, she would have done it in a heartbeat!

For a moment, the atmosphere quieted down.

”Why is everyone looking at me...” Tu Shan Youyou felt somewhat at a loss, and after hearing Tu Shan Ling’s telepathic message, she looked up again at the White-robed Figure and said weakly: ”Youyou pays respects to Senior Brother...”

[Ding, accepted destined Junior Sister Tu Shan Youyou, reward: 1000 points of preaching value]

[Extra reward: Nine-Tailed demon soul jade]

Upon hearing the System’s reward, an exquisite jade emitting boundless Demonic Qi appeared in Shen Nian’s hand.

He then said softly: ”Take my decree to the Imperial Pass...”

”Consider this jade a gift for joining my sect...”

”Also, one more thing. Those Senior Sisters of yours have all had tasks, and you are no exception. Cultivate to the Dao-Merging Realm within a year. After you merge with the Dao, you may come to the Great Xia to see me...”

As he spoke, Shen Nian’s figure gradually dissipated, as if he had never been to this place.

”Merge with the Dao within a year???”

Tu Shan Youyou was stunned for a long time before she reacted, then muttered: ”Grandma Ling, my Senior Brother isn’t joking, is he!”

”This is...!!” After seeing the two items floating in front of Tu Shan Youyou, Tu Shan Ling burst into tears of joy and bowed to the sky again.

”Emperor Shen’s kindness, our Qingqiu lineage will swear by the Heavenly Dao to never forget it for generations!”

Of these two items, what shocked Tu Shan Ling the most was the jade emitting the aura of the nine tails; it contained the true Legacy of the Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox!!

The other item was the decree written lightly by Shen Nian, which not only contained orders but also everything the Qing Qiu Old Ancestor had done for the Human Race over the years...

Not long after, the Qingqiu Clan took Shen Nian’s decree and left the turbulent area, going to the Imperial Pass.

The Human Emperor Hall allocated a no-man’s land of the Human Race to the Qingqiu Clan, allowing them to live there.

With Shen Nian’s decree, plus Tu Shan Youyou’s status and the truth, no one made things difficult for them.

As for Tu Shan Youyou, under the cold supervision of Grandma Ling, she began a demonic-like training...

Many years later, many more stories were born.

Among the Human Race, there were Nine-Tailed Fox Immortals who formed good bonds with humans, and there were also tales of them marrying humans...

Confucianism.

Lushan Academy was like a brilliant pearl, quietly situated between green mountains and clear waters.

The academy’s architectural style was ancient and elegant, with flying eaves and arched brackets, red walls and dark tiles.

Under the sunlight, it exuded a solemn and dignified atmosphere.

In the courtyard, several towering ancient trees were lush and green, their branches and leaves flourishing like huge green umbrellas, adding a touch of tranquility and seclusion to the academy.

At this moment, the clear sound of reading echoed from every corner of the academy.

The sound was uniform and rhythmic, like a melodious piece of music echoing in the air.

Suddenly, a refreshing breeze blew quietly.

This wind was gentle and comfortable, carrying a faint scent of flowers and the smell of books.

In the classroom.

”Today, Mr. Qi will personally give you a lesson, called ’Respect the Teacher and Value the Dao’!”

”Why is ’Respect the Teacher’ placed before ’Value the Dao’?”

”It is because you must always keep the teacher’s kindness in mind. Do not forget the teacher; it is even more important than the Dao you are Cultivating yourself.”

”Otherwise, the teacher spent so much effort teaching you, and in the end, once you have ability, you haven’t even visited the teacher once, not even once! Isn’t that very bad!”
