Chapter 318: “Her vermilion lips gradually became delicate; she gently turned with cloud-like steps.”¹

“Your gaze is quite terrifying, Senior Sister Qing’er.”

“Stay away from my master, Wenxin,” Long Qing’er warned, her eyes brimming with strong possessiveness for Fairy Fengya.

Ye Wenxin merely smiled and explained that she had just gone to relieve herself, brushing off the suspicion as usual.

However, she couldn’t help but glance at the hand she had used to touch Fairy Fengya. It still carried a faint scent, unique to Fairy Fengya.

Unaware of this, Long Qing’er watched as Ye Wenxin retreated back into her down quilt. Moments later, she saw Fairy Fengya approaching.

Fairy Fengya glanced at the awake Long Qing’er, then at Ye Wenxin, and finally moved towards the latter’s down quilt with deliberate ease, shocking them both with her natural actions.

“I’m a bit cold,” said Fairy Fengya, seemingly oblivious to their emotions, as she pointed to Ye Wenxin’s large, soft quilt.

“Then come in.” Ye Wenxin didn’t quite understand what strange new idea Fairy Fengya had learned from Great Grandma, but she accepted Fairy Fengya’s entry with reluctance.

The fragrance came again, sweet and somewhat mesmerizing. Ye Wenxin, a bit dazed for a moment, sensed Fairy Fengya gently drawing close. She shut her eyes.

Long Qing’er stared at them for a long time, sending various warning signals to Ye Wenxin with her eyes. Resigned, Ye Wenxin brushed off Long Qing’er’s warnings. She leaned against the wall, gradually drifting into a sleepy haze.

The room fell quiet again, but Ye Wenxin was too disturbed by the fragrance beside her to sleep. She glanced over and saw that Fairy Fengya wasn’t asleep either. Fairy Fengya was staring at her, as if trying to ascertain something.

“Xiao Feng-feng, aren’t you going to sleep?”

“Nascent Soul stage, don’t need sleep,” Fairy Fengya casually remarked, and for some reason, Ye Wenxin could sense her pride in saying so.

Ye Wenxin glanced at Long Qing’er, peacefully asleep in the distance, and smirked slightly. Then she looked at Fairy Fengya’s lips, thinking how long it had been since she had tasted her.

She knew Fairy Fengya wouldn’t refuse, so Ye Wenxin pulled the quilt up slightly and softly said, “I can’t sleep either. Shall we do something naughty?”

Fairy Fengya maintained her usual self, seeming quite confused as to what this ‘something naughty’ was until she felt Ye Wenxin’s lips coming closer, before gently covering her own.

Ye Wenxin originally wanted to tease her a bit, but as soon as she touched those lips, her control slipped.

Once again, she pressed down on Fairy Fengya, her hunger fully displayed. Fairy Fengya responded calmly, only to hear Ye Wenxin’s disgruntled complaint: “Master, you can’t always be this stiff. At least stick out your tongue and interact with me.”

Fairy Fengya’s face finally showed a shift. She stuck out her tongue a little rigidly, and immediately felt Ye Wenxin’s movements growing increasingly unrestrained. She was even more skilled than before.

Despite herself, the kiss completely stunned Fairy Fengya, while Great Grandma kept shouting warnings in her head.

Zhu Ling: Mistress, you can’t play along!

Zhu Ling: Mistress, refuse her quickly. This servant can’t hold out much longer!

……

Fairy Fengya’s gaze turned cold again, and in the next moment, her fingers lightly pressed on Ye Wenxin’s acupoint. Ye Wenxin’s hands instantly lost control, causing her to fall limply.

Ye Wenxin was a little frustrated, but she also regained some composure. She glanced over and, seeing that her movements seemed to have awakened Long Qing’er, quickly pretended to sleep. Fairy Fengya also closed her eyes.

Long Qing’er ran over to check on them, making sure Ye Wenxin hadn’t done anything inappropriate.

All of this happened in just a few seconds. Ye Wenxin’s heart was still racing wildly, unable to calm down. She didn’t even know when she had lost her resistance against Fairy Fengya.

Long Qing’er eventually returned to her own bedroll. Ye Wenxin opened her eyes to find Fairy Fengya looking at her once more.

“Ahem, can we continue?” Ye Wenxin glanced at her hands, where the acupoint had been pressed. Fairy Fengya touched her own lips and continued, “Promise me, and I’m yours.”

Her movements were so subtle, but Ye Wenxin, in her current excited state, felt Fairy Fengya’s actions too dangerous. As poor Jin Xiaoqin came to mind, however, she simply closed her eyes, decisively refusing Fairy Fengya’s honey trap.

Fairy Fengya didn’t seem affected at all, but Great Grandma inside the necklace was still endlessly scolding her.

Zhu Ling: Girls must learn to protect themselves and not always be so submissive!

Fairy Fengya: She is the only one I accept.

Zhu Ling: Bah, she’s the biggest scoundrel. I’ve met so many scum women, but none worse than her! See that master of hers? I bet in ten years—no, ten days—she’ll end up in that scum woman’s bed!

Fairy Fengya: Won’t things be fine if I just give in?

Zhu Ling: If you do that, she will dump you, and make you feel what it’s like to be abandoned! She’ll have you face the world’s scorn, make you—

Great Grandma’s tone became more and more intense, as if halfway through, the topic had turned into Great Grandma venting her frustrations.

Fairy Fengya: Zhu Ling, you’re getting emotional.

Zhu Ling: Forget it. In short, you must not be sweet on her! If I hadn’t been watching, your hand would’ve reached in already.

Great Grandma felt helpless, especially when she considered she would be killing Fairy Fengya later on to possess her body. She was unwilling to let some strange person grope what would become her future vessel.

But Fairy Fengya was becoming harder and harder to control, making Great Grandma even more worried about the changes occurring in Fairy Fengya.

Zhu Ling: Do you understand, Mistress!?

Fairy Fengya: I know.

Fairy Fengya fell into deeper silence, staring at Ye Wenxin in front of her, and ultimately, she slightly leaned into her shoulder.

“Xiao Feng-feng, can you get off!”

“Xiao Feng-feng, are you going to be like this all night!?”

Ye Wenxin could only sigh inwardly, ultimately resigning herself to her fate. Little did she know, Fairy Fengya was undergoing some changes, albeit subtle ones. These changes, however slight, would make their journey ahead even longer.

……

As dawn approached, their third day in the secret realm began. Jin Xiaoqin looked at Ye Wenxin with an even more complicated expression. Especially when she saw Fairy Fengya lying next to her, her subtle feelings were difficult to put into words.

Ye Wenxin could only comfort Jin Xiaoqin on one side, and then went to reassure Long Qing’er. However, since last night, Fairy Fengya had suddenly become attached to Ye Wenxin.

Whenever she approached, Ye Wenxin’s non-stop talking was no match against a single word or action from Fairy Fengya.
