Daily Intelligence System: Don't Kill Me, Honey! Chapter 1579 - 363: Hey, Hey, Where Are You Touching?
Previously on Daily Intelligence System: Don't Kill Me, Honey!...
No solution!
These two words left Chen Jiusi feeling rather annoyed. After all, what's the use of informing me about something impossible to resolve? Are you just trying to watch me make a fool of myself?
Chen Jie gazed at Liu Caidie with widened eyes, astonished as the young girl swallowed a large bun whole and remarked, 'Otherwise?'
Chen Jie knitted his brows, and Liu Caidie met his gaze before adding, 'Have you forgotten the way you tormented me? You sealed my acupoints, shoved me into a sack, fooled me into fleeing during the night, then sealed my acupoints once more, forcing me to stand through the entire night...'
Liu Caidie brimmed with resentment. Didn't you realize how harshly you treated me?
I'm not taking advantage of your vulnerability; refraining from punishing you right now already demonstrates my kindness. Teasing you a bit is hardly unjust—you brought it on yourself!
'Hey, hey, what do you think you're doing with that hand?'
Liu Caidie was focusing on channeling her energy when she abruptly noticed Chen Jie's hand dipping into the paper bag containing the buns, prompting her to shout immediately.
Yet Chen Jie had swiftly snatched two buns from the bag and began devouring them with gusto. Liu Caidie, witnessing this, flared up in anger, 'Chen, who gave you permission to take my buns? I paid for them with my own money.'
Chen Jie replied, 'They're delicious; which shop sells these? I'll purchase some later.'
'Ah, Chen Jiusi, did you catch what I said earlier?'
Liu Caidie grew somewhat desperate, but Chen Jie eyed her disheveled appearance and chuckled, 'I'm paying attention, I am.'
Liu Caidie shot back, 'You're paying attention, yet you're still munching away!'
Chen Jie warned, 'Keep it down, or you'll draw the wolves.'
'You...'
The young girl seethed with rage, her large eyes locking onto Chen Jie as if he were her fiercest foe.
Chen Jie shot her a glance and asked, 'Didn't I instruct you to flee? What made you turn back?'
'If I hadn't come back, wouldn't you be left helpless on the path?'
The girl answered with a playful glint, and Chen Jiusi let out a laugh at her words, 'Not entirely; if I locate a secure spot to evade the searches from King Qi Residence and Kunlun Tang Sect before collapsing, I'll recover on my own, much like I have just now.'
Upon hearing this, Liu Caidie cast another glance at Chen Jie and commented, 'So, you possess your own methods to slip away from King Qi Residence's chase?'
Chen Jie regarded Liu Caidie and stated, 'Should I choose to, there are still paths open for my escape.'
Liu Caidie rose to her feet and declared, 'Fine then, I'll stop aiding you; figure out your own getaway.'
Chen Jie jumped up hastily at her words and pleaded, 'Hey, hold on, don't dash off—these youngsters can't handle a few words.'
Liu Caidie countered, 'Quit pretending to be some wise elder; you're merely four years my senior.'
Chen Jie queried, 'You even know how old I am?'
Liu Caidie tilted her head smugly and boasted, 'Hmph, I know far more about you than you realize.'
Chen Jie offered no denial but instead eyed Liu Caidie and proposed, 'What if we strike a bargain?'
Liu Caidie turned to him and inquired, 'What sort of bargain?'
Chen Jie fixed his gaze on Liu Caidie and explained, 'Assist me in locating someone versed in Heaven and Earth Transposition to purge the Blood Devouring Poison from my system, and in return, I'll grant you one request—sound fair?'
'A request? Any at all?'
Chen Jie assured her, 'As long as it doesn't demand too much from me and won't endanger myself, my kin, or my companions, yes, any request.'
Liu Caidie furrowed her brow, and Chen Jie added, 'A promise from a Molten Furnace Realm practitioner is valuable—consider it carefully.'
Liu Caidie pondered briefly after hearing this and responded, 'Well, your offer is appealing, but sadly...'
Chen Jie paused in surprise and pressed, 'Sadly, what?'
Liu Caidie explained, 'Sadly, no one in the Zoroastrian Sect masters the Qiankun Great Method, so I can't assist you. You'll need to handle it alone—I'm off.'
With that, Liu Caidie stood and began departing, leaving Chen Jie to frown deeply. Was there truly no alternative?
No, he needed to devise a plan to enlist Yuan Sanjia's aid. With his prowess and Divine Calculation Power, if willing, Yuan Sanjia could surely aid him.
Along these thoughts, Chen Jie weighed altering his route—not proceeding to Bright Peak yet, but seeking Yuan Sanjia first.
Yet as Chen Jie mulled over his options, Liu Caidie's voice rang out from behind, 'Hehe, starting to feel hopeless?'
Chen Jie whirled around to find Liu Caidie had reappeared, her face alight with a teasing, gleeful smile.
Chen Jie's features shifted subtly as he regarded her, which only widened her grin.
After some time, she finally revealed, 'Truth is, I just reconsidered. No one knows the Qiankun Great Method, but surely you could master it yourself, couldn't you?'
Hmm?
Chen Jie stared at Liu Caidie in astonishment, and she continued, 'Techniques from others remain external; only those you acquire become genuinely your own.'
'So why beg from elsewhere when you could pursue the Qiankun Great Method on your own?'
Chen Jie regarded Liu Caidie with wonder and asked, 'Do you possess the manual for Heaven and Earth Transposition?'
Liu Caidie admitted, 'No.'
'Then what's the point of mentioning it?'
Chen Jie eyed Liu Caidie skeptically, but she replied, 'I lack it, yet Bright Peak holds it.'
'Bright Peak?'
Chen Jie looked at Liu Caidie in shock, and she confirmed, 'Exactly, Bright Peak houses the entire Qiankun Great Method.'
Chen Jie creased his forehead, appearing confused, 'If it's located there, why hasn't anyone cultivated it?'
Liu Caidie elaborated, 'Ah, there's a catch, of course. The Qiankun Great Method was Grandpa Han's famed skill, but following his demise in the Wending Mountain clash, the lineage of the Qiankun Great Method from Grandpa Han ended abruptly.'
Chen Jie responded to this, 'So, you're implying that the Qiankun Great Method's transmission perished with Han Sect Leader, though he left some legacy behind?'
Liu Caidie nodded and said, 'Chen Jiusi, it's no surprise you often prevail—you grasp things swiftly. Indeed, Grandpa Han did bequeath something. He stowed the full Qiankun Great Method within the Ruins, but regrettably, none have managed to claim it. Should you succeed, you could cultivate it, couldn't you?'
