Chapter 218: Ling Jue’s Character Collapse? (Eighth Update)

“Your first kiss is no longer mine, and I feel that when I come back in a few years, you won’t be mine either. Instead of not knowing when you’ll be taken away by someone else, I’d rather make sure you remember my existence deeply.”

Ling Jue’s words carried a profound meaning. She began to recite numerous names as one would a sutra, causing Ye Wenxin’s back to break out in a cold sweat.

Ye Wenxin had thought Ling Jue was unaware of the existence of those people, but Ling Jue even knew about her connection with Fairy Fengya.

“Don’t worry, I’ve said it before: no matter who you are or what you’ve done, as long as you don’t hurt me, I’ll always be by your side. And besides, I believe you will, come to love me.”

Ling Jue’s smile grew even more tender, but Ye Wenxin suddenly realized that Ling Jue’s tenderness seemed somewhat off.

She had planned this all along. This was essentially her way of offering herself to Ye Wenxin, ensuring that she would remember her for a lifetime.

“Big Sister Ling, you’re quite two-faced(uses modern Chinese slang here).” Ye Wenxin realized that she had completely misjudged Ling Jue’s character. She wasn’t the gentle and kind Ling Jue she had imagined.

“Hmm? Although I don’t know what ‘two-faced’ means, I don’t think I’m that kind of person,” Ling Jue smiled again, then got up to tuck Ye Wenxin in, leaving one final kiss on her forehead.

“If nothing unexpected happens, the next time we meet will be the day we’re together forever,” Ling Jue’s smile became even brighter.

Ye Wenxin tried to focus her mind, but she noticed that the pink peach blossoms on Ling Jue’s body started to grow branches, entwining and enclosing her golden aura.

It seemed that Ling Jue had been completely tainted by Ye Wenxin’s pink aura, unable to escape from it.

Ye Wenxin fell silent, but remembering Ling Jue’s various reactions and behaviors from last night, she didn’t regret it either.

She sighed again, lying back on the bed, but she couldn’t fall asleep no matter what……

Meanwhile, Ling Jue had transformed into her male form and walked out of Ye Wenxin’s dorm. Despite feeling some pain, her mood was exceptionally good, and it didn’t dampen her spirits.

After taking a few steps, she noticed a white figure in the distance.

“Well, if it isn’t Fairy Fengya? What brings you here? Are you here to spy or have you been lurking around here all night?” Ling Jue didn’t bother hiding her hostility.

Since yesterday, she had begun to suspect that something was amiss with Fairy Fengya’s relationship with Ye Wenxin.

She recalled Ye Wenxin mentioning that Fairy Fengya had taken her first kiss. She didn’t believe it at first, but that changed after yesterday.

Fairy Fengya remained silent, observing Ling Jue, this so-called Peerless Gentleman she had only met briefly. She couldn’t understand the hostility Ling Jue emanated.

“I don’t know what intentions you have towards Ye Wenxin, but she’s mine. I got her last night, too. Whatever plans you have, don’t drag her into them.”

Ling Jue also spoke frankly. If she hadn’t realized that Fairy Fengya was the most dangerous and powerful enemy, Ling Jue wouldn’t have taken this step.

Unlike others, she had more to do, yet she wasn’t willing to give up on Ye Wenxin. So, she gave herself to Ye Wenxin. Even if Ye Wenxin didn’t choose her in the end, she wouldn’t regret it.

Fairy Fengya remained silent, staring at Ling Jue. The gentleness on Ling Jue’s face vanished, replaced by a chilling smile. “However, Little Sister Wenxin would never like someone like you.”

“Ling Jue takes her leave; perhaps we’ll meet again.” With that, she briskly walked away, leaving Fairy Fengya alone.

Fairy Fengya seemed to have not fully processed the situation yet. The wind tousled her hair, highlighting her beauty, yet her silhouette exuded a sense as if she had weathered so much.

Fairy Fengya: What did she mean by that?

Zhu Ling: You don’t understand, Mistress?

Fairy Fengya: No.

Zhu Ling: Then maybe you don’t want to understand.

Fairy Fengya: Why?

Zhu Ling: If you do, you play into her hands. You must make Ye Wenxin like you, but you cannot fall for Ye Wenxin.

Fairy Fengya: Why?

Zhu Ling: Love may be one’s salvation, but it can also be one’s ruin.

Fairy Fengya: But I’m, really not comfortable with this.

Zhu Ling: Then go and kill her, before you fall.

Fairy Fengya: ……

Fairy Fengya remained silent, but this time, when she heard Zhu Ling suggesting she kill Ye Wenxin, she hesitated.

It seemed her feelings had changed, but she couldn’t describe it. She only felt anger and dissatisfaction, as if she needed to vent her pent-up rage.

Yet, there was nothing she could do. She maintained her usual cold expression, watching as the door to Ye Wenxin’s dorm room opened and Ye Wenxin stepped out.

The hickeys on Ye Wenxin’s neck were particularly glaring, and Great-Grandma’s voice echoed madly in her mind.

Zhu Ling: Kill her, Mistress!

Zhu Ling: Mistress, if you don’t kill her, I fear she won’t just be your Tribulation of Emotions, she’ll even be your Internal Demon!

Fairy Fengya remained motionless, staring absentmindedly at the distant dormitory, lost in thought.

“So diligent, huh? Could it be that she was eavesdropping on me and Ling Jue last night?” Ye Wenxin noticed Fairy Fengya, who hadn’t bothered to hide.

Recalling the commotion she and Ling Jue had caused the previous night, she felt certain Fairy Fengya had heard everything.

But what did it matter? What she did had nothing to do with Fairy Fengya. As Ye Wenxin re-entered her room, she noticed the hickeys on her neck and remembered she was about to meet her new friend, little sister Qiao Ni. She let out a bitter smile.

Despite her best efforts, there was no way to erase the hickeys. She changed into a high-collared outfit, managing to barely conceal the marks.

Yet, she couldn’t shake the feeling that her peach blossom luck had become even more vibrant. Perhaps due to the lingering effects from the previous, lustful night, her aura had enhanced significantly.

Ye Wenxin wondered what would happen due to the influence of her peach blossom luck and could only hope it wouldn’t bring harm to Ling Jue……

She casually changed into a new outfit and quickly left her room, heading to the Twelve Gates to wait for Qiao Ni.

Qiao Ni showed up not long after, but to Ye Wenxin’s surprise, she was accompanied by Madam Yu.

Madam Yu was dressed in a light purple outfit, and carried an oil-paper umbrella, looking like a beauty straight out of a painting. Her every gesture and smile captivated those around her.

“Good morning, Miss Wenxin.”

Ye Wenxin wondered why such a beautiful woman hadn’t been ranked on the Unparalleled Beauties List. She smiled back at Madam Yu and asked, “Madam, what brings you here?”

“I’m still a bit worried,” Madam Yu replied, her face looking even paler, as if she hadn’t slept well.

Ye Wenxin focused her attention and saw the black aura around Madam Yu becoming more intense, making her feel that Madam Yu might faint at any moment.

“I can protect Nini.” After thinking for a moment, Ye Wenxin decided to persuade Madam Yu to rest. Madam Yu smiled and said, “It’s fine. I may look weak, but—cough, cough, cough…”
