Chapter 145: Yuri Effect Bonus

“I indeed don’t like women, but if it’s Junior Sister Wenxin, I might make an exception.” Seeing Ye Wenxin’s distraction, Huang Hanyan added, leaning closer into Ye Wenxin’s embrace.

Ye Wenxin froze in place. She could not help feeling there was something wrong with the plot.

Logically speaking, this group of people were members of Gu Aotian’s harem, and no one could pry them away. But now, Huang Hanyan’s words seemed to have set up a flag, making it seem like something extraordinary might happen between her and Ye Wenxin in the future.

“Senior Sister Hanyan, please don’t say such things lightly. I might take it seriously.” Ye Wenxin felt even more embarrassed. She began to suspect that her Iceborn Constitution might be at play here. Perhaps that cursed constitution had some Yuri Effect Bonus, making the storyline more and more offbeat.

“Then let’s take it seriously; after all, Junior Sister Wenxin is already the person who treats me the best in the world.” Huang Hanyan smiled, and for a moment, Ye Wenxin could not tell if it was genuine or fake.

“No, Senior Sister Hanyan, you can’t hastily give away your happiness. Liking someone is a lifelong commitment.” Regardless of whether it was true or false, Ye Wenxin was not going to just lie back and enjoy it. She had to nip Huang Hanyan’s little scheme in the bud.

“Alright, I’ll think about it seriously. It’s just a shame.” Huang Hanyan’s smile became even brighter, indicating that everything just now was a joke.

“What is?”

“You’re a woman, Little Sister Wenxin. If you were a man, I’d probably be head over heels in love with you already.” Huang Hanyan lightly touched Ye Wenxin’s lips with her fingers. Ye Wenxin shuddered, feeling like she was being flirted with again.

She blushed, feeling a bit sullen with her recent behavior.

“You’ll understand when you’re older, Junior Sister Wenxin.” Noticing Ye Wenxin’s embarrassment, Huang Hanyan stopped teasing her and left Ye Wenxin’s embrace, adding a meaningful last sentence.

Ye Wenxin remained motionless, lamenting that she had lived over fifty years in vain.

She did not see the image of the beauty kissing her fingers from afar, nor did she hear Huang Hanyan’s regretful words, “What a pity, struggling for so long, yet still too late.”

If Ye Wenxin knew that Huang Hanyan had been struggling for so long over whether to kiss her, it would probably infuriate her to the point of Qi Deviation.

However, Ye Wenxin would probably never know about this, and only the audience holding their phones could not help but start to comment…

The night continued, and Ye Wenxin felt a slight chill as she walked unsteadily towards her room.

Baili Mu had not slept yet; she was engrossed in reading a xianxia novel. Naturally, there were various kinds of reading materials in this world. Baili Mu had mysteriously managed to find a pile of strange books from somewhere, and she insisted on reading one every day without fail.

Seeing Ye Wenxin return, Baili Mu put down her book as she greeted her, “You’re back.”

“Mm.”

Ye Wenxin did not feel like talking either. There was something she wanted to say, but she was not sure if she should.

“What’s wrong? You look strange.” Baili Mu noticed Ye Wenxin’s unusual expression and could not help but ask.

“I have a question for you. Do you think I’m more sought-after with men or with women?” Ye Wenxin could not bear it; she realized something was off.

Since she started running away, it seemed like all the people she was getting involved with were women. As for the two male leads she knew, one, Zhao Teddy, she crippled, and the other, Gu Aotian, seemed to be drifting further and further away from being a conventional male lead.

“Let me see… Men probably wouldn’t like you,” answered Baili Mu after staring for quite a long time.

“Why?!” roared Ye Wenxin, not understanding why this was the result.

“Because you’re flat-chested,” answered Baili Mu with a chuckle. What was scary was that Ye Wenxin actually accepted it.

After all, to reduce the burden on her body and fabric, Ye Wenxin purposely made herself look a bit smaller, but she had not expected that because of this, she would end up being liked by women.

“It seems like I need to grow some breasts,” muttered Ye Wenxin to herself, and Baili Mu glanced at her before returning to her book with even more relish. Little did she know that overnight, Ye Wenxin’s chest had grown…

But it only lasted for a day. Ye Wenxin found her breasts were too useless and quietly made them shrink back. She quickly forgot about the idea that men would like her more with bigger breasts.

This was just a small episode. Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, Ye Wenxin had returned to the Azure Wings Sect for three days. People’s curiosity about Ye Wenxin becoming a Beginner Achemist had shifted to other matters.

For example, the senior brothers and sisters who were in closed-door training had started to come out, and the talented youths from the other Ten Great Immortal Sects were also topics of enthusiastic discussion.

Ye Wenxin was squatting with Fatty, watching the passing crowd.

Except for the Azure Wings Sect, the event’s host, each immortal sect would send fifty disciples and ten elders or similar high-ranking seniors to witness the prosperity of this Immortal Sect Grand Tournament.

This battle signified the glory of the immortal sects and would also determine the candidates for the opening of the secret realm in a few months. No matter what, every disciple should give their all for this Immortal Sect Grand Tournament.

“I can play with those legs for hundreds of years, and that waist… oh my, oh my…” This was Fatty’s most frequent remark lately as he trailed beside Ye Wenxin. Ye Wenxin showed an expression like a smile, but not a smile. Although she knew Fatty’s character inside and out, hearing him praise other women in front of her always made her feel a little uncomfortable.

“Big Sister, don’t get me wrong. In a few years, you’ll definitely be no worse than any of them.” Fatty would comfort Ye Wenxin every time, then continue to stare at the passing women and sigh.

“When you go to chat up someone later, tone down your vulgar gaze. How can I do business if you keep acting like this?” Ye Wenxin could not stand it anymore and interrupted Fatty’s fantasies.

“Big Sister, you know I’ve only seen a few women in my life.” Fatty finally felt a bit embarrassed and scratched his head.

“Don’t just stand there. You’ve seen enough; go advertise with the others.” Ye Wenxin did not dwell on the small issue anymore. After some thought, she took out several bottles of fifth-grade pills from her bag of holding and asked Fatty to strike up conversations with people from other immortal sects, selling the pills for the maximum profit.

Fatty quickly stood up, and it was hard to believe that someone so fat could have such agility. Because he was born into a merchant family, Fatty also had the most business acumen, which was why Ye Wenxin entrusted him with the most important task.

“Remember to steer clear if you encounter people from Medicine King Valley,” added Ye Wenxin as Fatty was about to leave. Fatty smiled confidently and quickly stopped a disciple from another sect to enthusiastically start selling.

Ye Wenxin’s entourage consisted of nearly fifty people, and the prices they offered were cheaper than Medicine King Valley’s. All the products were refined by Ye Wenxin herself, and with their good quality, she believed she could quickly accumulate a large amount of funds.

She did not have much need for money herself, but herbal medicines required financial support before they could be recycled.

Ye Wenxin continued to watch the passing disciples, searching for those who could afford precious pills.

However, these few days’ anticipation left her very disappointed.

Obviously, the scouts sent by the immortal sects were not the pillars of their respective sects, and their cultivation levels could only be considered above average but not elite.

Although there were many wealthy heirs among the disciples, Ye Wenxin did not want to waste these pills on them and diminish the event’s entertainment.

Ye Wenxin was able to do these things because she had decided to give up on becoming the champion, so she wanted to stir up some trouble.

She was interested in making requests of Fairy Fengya, but not to the extent of being willing to play along and risk her own well-being. She also did not want to attract too much attention too early, risking her alternate life to suffer.

Secondly, while Ye Wenxin was somewhat interested in the so-called secret realm, she planned to sneak into it directly.

So, what Ye Wenxin was doing now was causing trouble.

“Sir, do you need some fifth-grade Qi Refining Pills? Only ten thousand spirit stones, very cheap.”

“Miss, do you need some Beauty Pills? Only a hundred thousand spirit stones.”

Seeing her little brothers busy and discreetly spreading advertisements, Ye Wenxin felt increasingly gratified. She sat there, and instead of the young talents she had hoped for, she saw Ling Jue, whom she had not seen for a few days.

Dressed in green, she was reluctantly introducing everything about the Azure Wings Sect to the Medicine King Valley female disciples surrounding her. Although there was still a smile on her face, Ye Wenxin felt that Ling Jue seemed weary.

Seeming to notice Ye Wenxin’s presence, Ling Jue simply gave a gentle smile in her direction, but did not come over.

These past few days had indeed been as busy as Ye Wenxin had initially anticipated, with neither of them even having time to talk.

Ye Wenxin wanted to wave at Ling Jue, but she had already walked away. Feeling somewhat awkward, she put her hand down and moved to a more conspicuous spot, waiting for the appearance of potential buyers.

Ye Wenxin could only be considered a small beauty now, not stunning enough to attract attention. Her presence was not strong, but she gave off a friendly vibe.

Passersby occasionally glanced at Ye Wenxin but did not disturb her.

The Azure Wings Sect appeared peaceful, but it felt like the calm before the storm. In light of the behavior of the demon sect members, Ye Wenxin felt certain that they would come over and cause trouble.

If this Immortal Sect Grand Tournament passed without a hitch, Ye Wenxin would find it abnormal.

As if in response to Ye Wenxin’s thoughts, not even fifteen minutes had passed before the sound of a fight erupted in the distance. Looking over, she saw two disciples from different immortal sects engaged in a brawl.

It seemed that these two had previous conflicts, and upon seeing each other, they exchanged a few words before starting to fight.

Others just watched as if it were a joke, without any intention of stopping the situation. It was like a tacit understanding, where self-preservation outweighed altruism.
