Chapter 216: Renewed Confession (Sixth Update)

As for Ling Jue, Ye Wenxin showed a bitter smile, hoping she could keep it brief with Baili Mu, so that she would have time to find Ling Jue later.

Thinking this way, Ye Wenxin quickly found the dormitory. Baili Mu was sitting upright, not only that, she was wearing a decent set of clothes, which made Ye Wenxin feel very puzzled.

Could it be that Fairy Fengya had finally changed her way of doing things and didn’t knock Baili Mu out, appearing directly in the dormitory instead? Ye Wenxin found this very funny and continued to walk towards the room.

As soon as she stepped through the door, Baili Mu excitedly rushed over.

“You’re finally back!”

“Why are you making such a fuss? You see Fairy Fengya or something?” Ye Wenxin joked with a smile.

No surprise, Baili Mu should also be aware of Fairy Fengya and Jin Xiaoqin competing for a disciple today.

“If Fairy Fengya had come, I would’ve fainted from joy already. It’s your Big Brother Ling who’s here.” Baili Mu said, perplexed.

Then she quickly turned, grabbed the quilt and pillow she had prepared in advance, and dashed out of the dormitory.

“Don’t be scared, I’ll be right—” But before Ye Wenxin could finish, Baili Mu had already disappeared, making Ye Wenxin deeply realize what it meant to be scared stiff.

She indeed needed a quiet environment to talk with Ling Jue, so she didn’t chase after Baili Mu. She locked the door and immediately felt someone embracing her from behind.

Ye Wenxin gently turned around and saw Ling Jue, who had already returned to her original form, urgently kissing her. Ye Wenxin did not resist, precisely because she understood Ling Jue’s fear and anxiety.

She needed an outlet, needed Ye Wenxin to give her a sense of security, even if everything Ye Wenxin said was a lie.

Her kisses were impatient. It was hard to imagine that a gentle woman like Ling Jue could be so domineering. Ye Wenxin, overwhelmed by the intensity of the kiss, could only pat her back, continuing to soothe her, “Hey, it’s alright, she’s gone. The night is still long.”

Such perfunctory comfort, however, didn’t give Ling Jue any sense of security. She became even more desperate, as if fearing that her own departure would mean losing Ye Wenxin forever.

Ye Wenxin didn’t know how to respond. She couldn’t give Ling Jue any promises or a future where they could support each other through thick and thin.

She didn’t belong to this world, and she didn’t want Ling Jue’s affection to be based on her own peach blossom luck or her Iceborn Constitution.

After thinking for a moment, Ye Wenxin gently patted Ling Jue’s back, signaling her to stop kissing.

“What’s wrong, Little Sister Wenxin?” Ling Jue asked in confusion, but her gentle nature made her prioritize Ye Wenxin’s feelings, so she didn’t continue.

However, she licked her lips, still seeming unsatisfied. Her increasingly beautiful features shimmered with an unusual glow of desire, but Ye Wenxin shook her head. “That’s enough for now.”

Although reluctant, Ling Jue gave Ye Wenxin a light kiss on the forehead before stepping back, helping her straighten the clothes she had just messed up.

Ye Wenxin remained steadfast throughout, while Ling Jue was already so flustered. Ye Wenxin refocused her attention, only to see the peach blossom luck around her blooming again.

The golden aura intertwined with the pink peach blossoms, creating an indescribably pretty and flirtatious effect.

“Big Sister Ling, do you really love me?” Ye Wenxin doubted this love, as well as her own allure.

It all felt too smooth, too natural, and she hadn’t done anything to warrant such affection. How could Ling Jue have fallen for her so deeply?

“Hm? Have I not expressed it enough?” Ling Jue didn’t understand why Ye Wenxin was asking such a strange question. She worriedly checked Ye Wenxin’s condition, taking her pulse and feeling her forehead, making sure that Ye Wenxin wasn’t feeling sick in any way.

“It’s just that, I’ve recently read some books about the Iceborn Constitution, it was stated to have a seductive effect. If someone gets too close or has skin-to-skin contact, it creates a spellbinding effect, causing the person to fall hopelessly in love with the one who has this constitution.”

Of course, Ye Wenxin made this up on the spot, but she had indeed seen the pink aura around Ling Jue, and confirmed that it was her peach blossom luck.

Ling Jue, however, didn’t stop her actions. She continued to help Ye Wenxin tidy her hair, her gaze as gentle as ever, but she also said, “I don’t know if this seduction effect is real or not, but what I do know is that my love for you is definitely not because of your Iceborn Constitution.”

Her words were earnest, and she showed no sign of wavering in her affection for Ye Wenxin.

As she spoke, the pink aura around her grew stronger, enveloping her golden luck with even more beauty. Perhaps her emotional fluctuations caused the aura to resonate. Ye Wenxin watched in surprise, then Ling Jue cupped her face with both hands.

“What are you looking at? I’m confessing so seriously, and you’re still spacing out.” Ling Jue’s face turned slightly red. She hadn’t expected that after so long, she would still blush while confessing again.

But seeing Ye Wenxin’s expression, swayed by her words, she felt that there might really be hope.

If she tried a bit harder and reached the agreed goal, she could truly be with Ye Wenxin.

“Ahem, you’re too serious, I don’t even know how to respond.”

“Little Sister Wenxin, you’re really too mean. Here I am, already like this, and you’re still so frivolous.” Ling Jue was somewhat exasperated, her expression even showing a hint of grievance.

“There’s nothing I can do. I’ve never been so well-liked, and then you suddenly tell me you like me so directly. How am I supposed to handle it?”

Ye Wenxin spoke frankly, recalling her time as the Demon Lord when everyone feared her. Even those fearless few who dared to confess, were blocked by Liu Churan.

In fact, Ling Jue was the first person to confess to her, and Ye Wenxin took it very seriously.

“Hm, there are only two outcomes to a confession: acceptance or rejection, no?” Ling Jue patiently guided Ye Wenxin.

Honestly, she had planned to force a kiss and then leave the Azure Wings Sect with the disciples of Medicine King Valley the next day. However, she couldn’t help softening at the sight of Ye Wenxin.

“Isn’t there a third possibility?”

“Yes, there is, like what we’re doing now; having a common goal in mind, considering our future.” Ling Jue smiled, understanding that even if Ye Wenxin agreed now, she couldn’t offer her anything yet.

Not only that, but at this point, she could only bring Ye Wenxin suffering.

“Then let’s stick to the agreement. Actually, I’m not sure whom I really like.” Ye Wenxin thought for a moment and decided to remain as she was.

Worried that Ling Jue might misunderstand, Ye Wenxin added, “I do have feelings for you, Big Sister Ling, but they’re not strong enough to be love. Perhaps one day, I’ll understand. For now, though, I hope we both take some time to consider things carefully.”
