My brother is so cunning

Chapter 953 Being a Fairy is Hard
“My aunts clearly said that the Creator God’s methods are all just tricks and gimmicks, and that he is a thief of heavenly secrets who will be punished by heaven sooner or later.”

Fairy Yunxiu frowned and said, "His creation secrets can even allow mortals without any spiritual roots to cultivate supreme supernatural powers such as flying, escaping, moving mountains and filling seas. How can this be allowed? The Taoist books clearly say, 'Heaven creates all things to nourish man, but man has nothing to repay Heaven.' If mortals all obtain great power, they will surely despise gods and Buddhas, and rebel against the heavenly order. The Three Realms will definitely be in great chaos."

Fairy Yue Li shook her head with a wry smile, not arguing with her, and said softly, "My aunts also told us to find learning materials for the Creation Secret Technique on the tablet and to study it on our own. Have you listened to your aunts and studied the Creation Secret Technique properly?"

"This..." Fairy Yunxiu blushed and said guiltily, "I...I've watched some popular science videos, it's nothing special."

"Those short videos are for early childhood education..."

Fairy Yue Li shook her head helplessly: "You should at least watch the open class videos, those are for... middle school students."

This little fairy was actually a poor student, with academic ability only reaching the level of a high school student in the Demon Alliance's education system. But even at the high school level, she could already see the whole picture from a small part and distinguish whether the new knowledge of the Jie Sect spread by Wen Rui was good or bad.

Although Fairy Yue Li has worked very hard, it is not something that ordinary people can achieve by simply using instructional videos on a tablet. Among mortals, those with such talent and perseverance are one in a thousand.

Those academic talents who can enter the Demon Alliance Academy of Sciences and engage in research at the forefront of science and technology are so exceptional that describing them as one in ten thousand is too conservative; each and every one of them is a peerless genius.

This is even rarer than a cultivation genius born with top-grade spiritual roots.

If she had received a formal education from the Demon Alliance from a young age, Fairy Yue Li could at least have earned a doctorate. Unfortunately, she didn't have that opportunity. Even though she was very interested in the new knowledge of the Jie Sect, she could only be a waitress in Yaochi. Her long immortal life would be wasted on this boring waitressing job, and she would never leave any mark on the history of the development of civilization.

"If the secrets of creation are truly so worthless, why would Your Majesty encourage us to use tablets to secretly learn them?"

Fairy Yue Li calmly countered, "If you hate the Creator so much, why do you love everything he created so much?"

Fairy Yunxiu was stunned by the question, her clear eyes filled with contradiction and confusion.

"But...but he's clearly a spoiled second-generation immortal. He was only made a god because he had a Heavenly Venerable father. It's also a fact that he's a womanizer and kept a mountain of demonesses in the mortal realm. Many sisters who have been to the Heavenly Realm say so...How can you admire such a person?"

The unwilling fairy stubbornly argued, refusing to accept the fact that the villain she had always thought of was actually her best friend's idol.

"What are you two whispering about?"

Before Fairy Yue Li could reply, a sharp shout rang out behind them, and a graceful fairy in colorful clothes, who looked like a lady, had appeared beside them at some point.

"No...nothing..."

"Zhang Xiangu, we...we were just discussing how to serve dishes with an elegant gait if distinguished guests arrive..."

Fairy Yunxiu was nearly scared out of her wits by the shout, stammering and unsure how to explain. Fairy Yue Li, on the other hand, was much calmer. She quickly regained her composure and tried to explain with an excuse. "Hmph, do you think I'm deaf?"

Zhang Xiangu's face was as cold as frost as she said in a chilling voice, "To speak ill of an immortal in private is to violate the Heavenly Laws, and to talk about Your Majesty's distinguished guests is quite audacious!"

Seeing her lie exposed, Fairy Yue Li turned deathly pale, and Fairy Yun Xiu was so frightened that her legs went weak and she knelt down in front of the fairy, trembling as she said, "Aunt, Yun Xiu knows she was wrong. Please don't tell the Empress. Yun Xiu will never dare to do it again."

Fairy Yue Li stood there stubbornly. She sighed softly and murmured, "It's no use. Heaven's might is as firm as iron, and its rules are as imposing as a mountain. Of all the female immortals who have been punished in the past, which one has ever been able to beg for forgiveness?"

"You lowly servant, you defied Heaven's will and brought this upon yourself, yet you still dare to be defiant!"

Zhang Xiangu flew into a rage, raised her arm, and slapped Yue Li Fairy across the face. The slap contained immense force, sending her flying backward like a rag doll. She crashed into a magnificent ancient pine tree in the fairy palace courtyard before falling to the ground.

"Aunt, I was the one who started this conversation. I will take full responsibility. Please forgive Sister Yue Li."

With a single palm strike, Fairy Yue Li was sent flying. Still not satisfied, Fairy Zhang took out a foot-long golden needle from her pouch, seemingly about to use a weapon or magic treasure to severely punish Fairy Yue Li on the spot.

Seeing her closest sister suffer a terrible calamity because of her momentary loneliness, Fairy Yunxiu quickly flew to Zhang Xiangu's side and tried to take the blame herself to try to get some leniency for her dear friend.

"You think you're worthy of taking responsibility for others' sins?"

Zhang Xiangu's eyes were fierce. The golden needle she took out was right beside her. With a casual thrust, she pierced Yunxiu Fairy's shoulder, and a spurt of blood shot out. The little fairy dropped the jade plate she was holding in pain, and the bowl of thousand-year-old stone milk in the plate spilled out, splashing and flowing wildly on the ground.

Stone stalactites are precious earth-elemental items. They solidify upon contact with soil, quickly solidifying into a lump of white jade-like crystals on the ground, completely dissipating their immortal power.

"Spilling the delicacies at the banquet is an even greater offense! You reckless girl, how dare you cause such a disturbance on such an important occasion! If the Empress punishes you, I will have to take the blame for you! You're dead! The last person who spilled the glass cup is still hanging on the execution platform, getting stabbed in the ribs by flying swords every day!"

Zhang Xiangu was the head fairy of this group of fairies. She lost her temper and punished two fairies who had made mistakes on the spot, which caused a commotion.

She suddenly realized that in the Jade Pool Wonderland, if a maid made a mistake, the head fairy would also be punished. Her hatred intensified, and she kicked Fairy Yunxiu in the abdomen, sending her flying like a ball, landing right next to Fairy Yueli.

The fairies and celestial maidens of Yaochi Wonderland, who are on duty in top-tier blessed lands year-round, even without much cultivation, absorb the incredibly dense immortal energy in their workplaces, making their cultivation levels a cut above those of the fairies in other areas of Heaven.

The head fairy maiden was already at the late stage of True Immortal, while the two little fairies had both reached the initial stage of True Immortal.

A true immortal's physical strength, even a casual slap or a kick, is like a superhuman brawl, easily sending people flying like cannonballs.
