Chapter 227: Come Over and Hold Me (Fourth Update)

Long Qingyue’s grip loosened a bit, and the smile on her stunningly beautiful face became even more radiant.

But for some reason, Ye Wenxin had a strange thought.

“Yue’er, are you pretending to be drunk just to ask such a boring question?”

Long Qingyue simply tidied her clothes gently and continued, “Why would I do something so boring?”

Her words, on the contrary, dispelled Ye Wenxin’s worries and even made her feel a bit embarrassed.

“Ahem, a lot of things have happened recently. I suspect I might actually be quite popular.”

Ye Wenxin had to muster the courage to reveal her true feelings, but she wasn’t sure whether she should mention that she had also acquired a special ability.

Compared to Long Qingyue’s mind-reading ability, hers was really quite useless. Besides, she really didn’t want to share with Long Qingyue the fact that she was drifting further and further down the yuri path.

“Popular? You must be delusional.” Long Qingyue still didn’t tell Ye Wenxin about her popularity. She just replied indifferently and started tidying her sleeves again.

“What are you doing since earlier?” Ye Wenxin didn’t understand Long Qingyue’s intentions. She watched Long Qingyue pat off a few black cat hairs that had fallen on her body, then continued, “Alright, come over and hold me.”

Ye Wenxin responded with an “Mm”, and was about to move over when she felt something was off. Although she had been close to Long Qingyue, she had never deliberately hold her.

“What’re you thinking? Carry me to the bedroom; or do you plan on chatting with me here all night?” Long Qingyue pointed to the side, where the bones of the Cave Master who had been eaten, and Su Mei were left.

Ye Wenxin, thinking this made sense, nodded and walked over to lift Long Qingyue from the wheelchair.

“You’re getting lighter and lighter.” Long Qingyue was pitifully light. Ye Wenxin instinctively touched her back, and felt she seemed even slighter.

If it weren’t for the difference between cultivators and ordinary people, Long Qingyue’s physique would probably appear quite unhealthy.

“Do you prefer a bit more substance?” Long Qingyue responded nonchalantly, making Ye Wenxin feel even more uneasy. Long Qingyue’s attitude was very unusual today.

She examined Long Qingyue’s luck. However, apart from the usual murderous aura, there was no peach blossom tinge. So why was Long Qingyue acting so strangely?

Could it be that she was going through a rebellious phase, where she was jealous of her friends?

Ye Wenxin, while ruminating many things, still carried Long Qingyue to the inner room. The black cat followed behind, faithfully guarding its mistress, Long Qingyue.

Long Qingyue glanced at the black cat and said, “You don’t need to follow. Tell Xiao Zhang to clean up the outer room.”

The black cat let out a dissatisfied meow but, seeing Long Qingyue’s expression, gradually quieted down. It then walked back into the outer room and gently closed the door with its tail.

“Big Baby has really become intelligent.” Ye Wenxin was speechless. Somehow, seeing spirit beasts now always reminded her of Hei Tong, the crow in the backwoods.

Ye Wenxin was starting to think that any spirit beast seemed more reliable than Hei Tong.

“It’s still early to say that.” But now, Long Qingyue, thinking with the mindset of someone from this world, naturally assumed that Ye Wenxin was asking about the black cat’s age and answered accordingly.

“No, look at how skilled its movements are.” Ye Wenxin couldn’t help but comment again, only to see Long Qingyue’s puzzled expression. She had to explain, “Actually, I’ve recently been considering raising a spirit beast, but I have some trouble communicating with her.”

“You mean that crow.” Long Qingyue, as if already knowing the extent of Ye Wenxin’s social circle, accurately pinpointed the answer.

Ye Wenxin nodded, thinking that Long Qingyue probably saw her with Hei Tong before, so she didn’t bother to argue further.

Ye Wenxin carefully placed Long Qingyue onto the bed. Her movements were so cautious, as if handling a precious treasure.

Long Qingyue was very satisfied with this and added, “Crows are naturally playful and difficult to tame. However, if you want to learn, I have one word for you.”

Ye Wenxin, overjoyed, hurriedly asked, “What word?”

“Beat!”

“……”

Ye Wenxin suddenly felt regret. She had forgotten that the black cat had also been a troublemaker in the past.

Due to its cat nature and its young age, the black cat often caused trouble outside, leading to a long period where their daily routine was to catch it.

After catching the black cat, Ye Wenxin would beat it first, and when she got tired, Long Qingyue would take over. Sometimes, when the black cat was too naughty, they would team up to discipline it. In short, that was how they trained the black cat.

Thinking back on how they treated the black cat and comparing it to how she treated Hei Tong, Ye Wenxin realized she had truly changed.

She wasn’t thinking about how to tame Hei Tong, but rather wanted Hei Tong to have her own independent thoughts, so that even without a contract master, Hei Tong could live without feeling lonely.

“What’s the matter? Reluctant to hit her because she can transform?”

Seeing Ye Wenxin’s hesitation, Long Qingyue assumed that Ye Wenxin had developed protectiveness towards women.

Ye Wenxin forced out a bitter smile. “How could I bear to hit such a cute crow?”

Long Qingyue quietly added, “Rabbits are so cute, but you still ate one before.” She said this with deep resentment, as if recalling many details from the past.

“……”

Ye Wenxin suddenly didn’t dare to speak. Instead, Long Qingyue reached out and pulled her back in, continuing, “Tell me, if we keep teasing each other like this, do you think one day we might actually break off our friendship?”

Long Qingyue spoke with a serious tone, but Ye Wenxin knew this was yet another trick question.

“It’s possible, but it would never be for such a superficial reason.”

Long Qingyue smiled and curiously asked, “Then what do you think the reason would be?”

Ye Wenxin thought for a moment and said, “Just like in the novels, we fall in love with the same man and start having conflicts over him.” (TL: You serious?)

“But in this world, is there a man who could make either of us fall for him?”

“How about if we both fell in love with the same woman… Wait, no, hold on! Aren’t we both straight?” Ye Wenxin felt like she almost got tricked, and quickly reassured Long Qingyue of her strictly heterosexual orientation. (TL: *Facepalm*)

Long Qingyue continued to laugh, finding Ye Wenxin’s reaction amusing, and then said, “What about Fairy Fengya?”

Ye Wenxin didn’t expect to hear that name from Long Qingyue’s mouth. However, after thinking about it, Long Qingyue had previously shown a keen interest in Fairy Fengya.

Coupled with the fact that Ye Wenxin had left the Wind and Moon Palace to come to the Azure Wings Sect because of Fairy Fengya, she didn’t find this strange at all.
