Shao Yumiao’s words left Song Cha somewhat puzzled; she didn’t understand why Shao Yumiao would express a desire to share a room with her.
However, Song Cha wasn’t opposed to the idea of sleeping in the same room as Shao Yumiao. Her only concern was whether her master would agree.
Thus, Song Cha turned to Chu Man and asked, “Master, can I sleep in the same room as the beautiful sister?”
Chu Man: “……”
Chu Man, who was initially pleased knowing Song Cha had decided to share a room with her, now saw her good mood completely vanish.
She couldn’t fathom why Song Cha would make such a request. Hadn’t Song Cha promised to pay a price? Was she unclear about her future role as a partner? To suggest sharing a room with Shao Yumiao.
“No!” Chu Man flatly refused.
Song Cha: “……”
Song Cha, faced with Chu Man’s refusal, was at a loss for what to do.
Could it be that Chu Man’s craving for physical contact was so severe? So severe that not sharing a room with her would make her uncomfortable?
But… Shao Yumiao also wanted to share a room with her!
Faced with this complex situation, Song Cha was at a loss for words.
The only solution Song Cha could think of was for the three of them to discuss the matter together.
“Beautiful sister, the master won’t let me share a room with you,” Song Cha said, seeking Shao Yumiao’s opinion, hoping she could offer a good solution.
Of course, being a green tea, after looking at Shao Yumiao, Song Cha didn’t forget to glance at Chu Man, hoping the two could come up with a satisfactory solution.
Shao Yumiao: “……”
Chu Man: “……”
Shao Yumiao and Chu Man fell silent.
Because neither could think of a better solution, both were unable to accept Song Cha sharing a room with the other.
Or perhaps it could be said, just the thought of Song Cha living in the same room with someone else was enough to nearly shatter their composure.
Among Shao Yumiao and Chu Man, especially Chu Man, the mental state was even worse.
In Shao Yumiao’s heart, Song Cha was her best friend. Although she didn’t understand why she felt unhappy about her friend living with someone else… in her heart, Song Cha was her good friend.
But Chu Man was different. In Chu Man’s heart, Song Cha was her future partner. How could she tolerate her future partner being with someone else?
If it were possible to use force, Chu Man, who was now at the Transformation Stage, could naturally defeat Shao Yumiao and then live in the same room as Song Cha.
But… this development was not what Chu Man hoped for.
Chu Man was quite proud. Back when she was in the cultivation world, she often traveled to various places for training. Naturally, she had seen quite a bit of the world.
Chu Man had once seen a drama of two women fighting over a man. What left a deep impression on her was a scene where one of the women had a better family background and stronger martial prowess. But because she was too domineering, she fell into the trap of another “damsel in distress.”
The “damsel in distress” was beaten by the domineering woman, and then the man they were fighting over started to stand up for the “damsel,” even eventually feeling pity for her and ending up with her.
Chu Man didn’t care about this story before, but after meeting Song Cha’s “good friend” Shao Yumiao, this memory kept surfacing in Chu Man’s mind.
Especially when Chu Man wanted to hit Shao Yumiao, this memory appeared even more frequently.
Endure a moment of calm, retreat a step to see the vast sky.
Chu Man told herself, she couldn’t hit Shao Yumiao, especially not in front of Song Cha.
Even if Shao Yumiao might not cry miserably like that “damsel in distress,” she still couldn’t.
Otherwise, what if Song Cha saw Shao Yumiao being hit and felt pity for her, thus developing sympathy and starting to dislike her?
“Shao Yumiao,” Chu Man put on an elder’s demeanor, “You should live in a room by yourself. The person Cha’er originally wanted to live with was me.”
Shao Yumiao: “……”
Shao Yumiao gave Chu Man a cold look: “No.”
Chu Man: “……If Cha’er doesn’t live with me, do you have any other solutions?”
“I’ll be sharing a room with Chacha,” Shao Yumiao said coldly and without hesitation.
Chu Man: “…”
Shao Yumiao really lacks emotional intelligence, but even with her limited EQ, she could tell that Chu Man didn’t want Song Cha to share a room with her.
If… Song Cha doesn’t share a room with her, then she would have to share one with Chu Man.
Shao Yumiao knew she wasn’t good at arguing, and Chu Man seemed to have a way with words. If she kept talking, what if she convinced Song Cha to share a room with her?
Just thinking about that possibility made Shao Yumiao unable to accept it.
She must change this!
But… how?
After a long silence, Shao Yumiao finally spoke again: “I’ll share a room with you, and Chacha can have her own room.”
Chu Man: “…”
Hearing Shao Yumiao’s words, Chu Man almost thought she was hallucinating. What kind of malicious intent did Shao Yumiao have to say something like that?
Should she commend her for being as ruthless as a demonic swordsman?
No.
If the demonic swordsman is ruthless, she can be ruthless too.
After mentally berating Shao Yumiao a hundred times, Chu Man finally managed to force a fake smile: “Great, I’m happy to share a room with Chacha’s friend.”
Though she said she was happy, Chu Man’s body language screamed the opposite.
Shao Yumiao couldn’t help but take another look at Chu Man, seemingly puzzled as to how Chu Man could say she was happy while clearly not being so.
But Shao Yumiao didn’t call her out, only coldly saying, “As long as you’re happy.”
Chu Man: “…”
Hearing Shao Yumiao speak in such a cold tone, Chu Man felt like she was being subtly insulted.
Unexpectedly, Shao Yumiao, who seemed to have low emotional intelligence, could actually insult someone in such a cold manner, truly an eye-opener for Chu Man.
Song Cha: “……”
Because Shao Yumiao and Chu Man had been talking, Song Cha had been silently watching from the side.
This silent observation left Song Cha speechless.
Chu Man and Shao Yumiao, truly worthy of being in the male lead’s harem, are natural enemies. Their words might seem normal, but their tone was filled with sarcasm.
Song Cha even wanted to ask how they could look at each other with such displeasure and still agree to live in the same room.
However… remembering that this topic had led to a long argument among the three of them, Song Cha still didn’t speak up.
No, it’s not just that she didn’t speak up, Song Cha naively looked at them: “Master, beautiful sister, I didn’t expect you to get along so well, deciding to live together after just meeting. If you spend more time together, won’t you forget about me?”
Shao Yumiao: “……”
Chu Man: “……”
Both of them looked at Song Cha, who had spoken, feeling that Song Cha was too naive to even sense the simple atmosphere.
But the naive Song Cha also looked very cute.
Thinking of the naive Song Cha, and recalling how Chu Man touched Song Cha’s hand, Shao Yumiao always felt that Chu Man had ill intentions towards Song Cha.
But if asked to specify what those ill intentions were, she couldn’t say.
However, even if she couldn’t figure it out, Shao Yumiao felt she had to tell Song Cha about it.
Only now, with Chu Man still here, if she spoke up and alerted Chu Man, that would be bad.
With that thought, Shao Yumiao coldly glanced at Chu Man before shifting her gaze away.
During the time the three of them were discussing at the door, night had already fallen.
The three of them didn’t stay long and each returned to their rooms.
Song Cha was the first to enter her room, while Shao Yumiao and Chu Man went into the room next to Song Cha’s.
It was fine for Song Cha to have a room to herself, but it was different for Shao Yumiao and Chu Man.
The two of them couldn’t stand each other and couldn’t stay together peacefully.
As soon as Shao Yumiao opened the door and entered the room, she stepped back out after just a second.
She couldn’t accept living in an environment with Chu Man.
Coincidentally, she had just been thinking about warning Song Cha to be wary of Chu Man, and now she had the chance to do so.
After making up her mind, Shao Yumiao went to Song Cha’s door and knocked.
Song Cha’s door opened quickly.
Upon opening the door, Song Cha saw Shao Yumiao.
Shao Yumiao looked at her with a particularly serious expression and said, “Cha Cha, I have something to tell you.”
“Pretty sister, is it something important?”
“Very important.” Shao Yumiao looked at Song Cha. “I want to tell you to be careful around your master. She has ill intentions.”
Song Cha was taken aback.
She never expected Shao Yumiao to say such a thing to her.
Shao Yumiao and Chu Man had just met and took an instant dislike to each other. If it were about Chu Man harboring ill will towards Shao Yumiao, Song Cha might have believed it.
But Chu Man had been very kind to her, taking her as a disciple and giving her many elixirs. Her attitude towards her was also very good, so how could she harbor ill will?
“Master has been very good to me.” Song Cha earnestly corrected Shao Yumiao. “Pretty sister, could you be mistaken?”
“Cha Cha, you’ve been deceived by your master.” Shao Yumiao didn’t believe Song Cha’s words at all.
Song Cha was too naive and couldn’t distinguish between good and bad people.
At this moment, Shao Yumiao, who was speaking, completely failed to notice that the person she was talking about had coincidentally come out through the door and had heard what she said.
