Chapter 505: Xiao Fengfeng’s Thoughts

As she reached this conclusion, Fairy Fengya intended to jump out the window to escape the torment of wearing colorful clothes.

However, Ye Wenxin was already prepared. Sword Ghost stood guard at the door, while the furballs blocked all directions. They gave Fairy Fengya no chance to flee.

“If you want to leave, you’ll have to step over my dead body,” Ye Wenxin declared righteously. A bright smile adorned her face as she imagined dressing up Fairy Fengya in all those outfits.

Fairy Fengya’s expression remained unchanged. She pulled out her Cold Soul Sword from her bag of holding. Ye Wenxin’s face paled, thinking Fairy Fengya had taken her joke seriously.

But Fairy Fengya simply said, “Then kill me.”

Ye Wenxin was left with no choice. She resorted to bribing with spirit wine and they struck a deal. Fairy Fengya would get two bottles in exchange for transforming into a child.

The deal was done, yet Ye Wenxin suffered a blow. These hundred bottles of spirit wine would have sustained her for the next hundred years. So she wouldn’t need to seek out Liu Churan during that time. And now, two years’ worth was gone in an instant.

But in truth, given Liu Churan’s nature and abilities, it wouldn’t take more than ten years before they crossed paths again. The thought made her feel a little better. Ye Wenxin turned, only to see Fairy Fengya already drinking the wine.

Fairy Fengya seemed to favor the drink very much, which struck Ye Wenxin as peculiar. She casually grabbed Fairy Fengya’s free hand to take her pulse. Ye Wenxin was surprised to discover many currents of unfamiliar energy in the woman’s body. She even sensed a trace of electricity.

Ye Wenxin first thought it was a new kind of power. But a closer inspection revealed that the shape was somewhat off. When she probed Fairy Fengya’s pulse again, that force reacted by lightly shocking her.

Ye Wenxin immediately withdrew her examination. With a bitter smile, she said, “You even dare to suppress a Heavenly Tribulation?”

Fairy Fengya sipped her wine quietly. Her craving for spirit wine likely stemmed from suppressing her ascension, along with the final and most powerful Heavenly Tribulation. In that state, an emotional breakdown might erase her from existence.

Ye Wenxin’s eyes flashed with killing intent but it quickly faded. She recalled moments she’d shared with Fairy Fengya. Although she no longer resented her, Ye Wenxin couldn’t quite describe how she felt about her. She was sure, however, that it wasn’t love.

Fairy Fengya was a person without emotions. So, as someone with emotions, Ye Wenxin found her difficult to understand.

This time, Fairy Fengya didn’t drink much. She only had a few sips before putting the wine away. The wine’s aroma, mixed with her scent, formed a sweet-smelling combination. Ye Wenxin couldn’t help but swallow and then lowered her gaze to the colorful clothes in front of her.

She picked out the most vivid pink one.

Fairy Fengya took a slight step back, seemingly resistant.

“Think about it. Children love these bright colors. If you only wear black and white, anyone would know immediately that you’re not a child.” Ye Wenxin tried to coax her. She hoped that Fairy Fengya could use her appearance to attract the kitsune, allowing Ye Wenxin to perform her mission in Liu City. Since Fairy Fengya was the female lead, she was perfect for this daunting task.

Fairy Fengya still seemed doubtful, so Ye Wenxin asked her to try shrinking her body. To her surprise, it required no lengthy explanation. With just a subtle shift, Fairy Fengya quickly shrank in size. Her body transformed into that of a 12- or 13-year-old. The youthful appearance seemed to soften her features significantly.

Her facial features were still beautiful beyond compare. But now, her childlike form would only attract lolicons. With the essential preparations in place, Ye Wenxin handed over the pink outfit. This time, Fairy Fengya didn’t resist and quietly put it on.

In an instant, Fairy Fengya’s usual cold and distant aura faded. She looked like a delicate porcelain doll, with an added touch of adorableness that made her approachable. A surge of maternal affection overcame Ye Wenxin. She couldn’t resist picking up the smaller Fairy Fengya and planting a kiss on her cheek.

Fairy Fengya’s expression didn’t change. She paid no mind to Ye Wenxin’s affectionate torture. But Ye Wenxin, feeling it wasn’t enough, gave her another peck.

Suddenly, she asked, “So, how have things been going between you and Long Qing’er lately?”

Long Qing’er was Fairy Fengya’s official disciple and the niece of Eldest Princess Long Qingyue. Known for her passionate and radical nature, she always had ardent feelings toward Fairy Fengya.

Ye Wenxin remembered their brief encounter outside Yangzhou City. She wondered whether there was any progress between the master and her disciple.

Fairy Fengya noticed she was changing the subject, but still replied, “She is very diligent.”

Her voice had taken on a soft, childlike tone. She sounded like a little girl who invited affection. Ye Wenxin couldn’t help but think Fairy Fengya should maintain this form. It would prevent the occasional attraction she felt towards the woman.

But what she wanted to know was something else. “I’m not talking about cultivation. Long Qing’er wants to be your Dao companion. Don’t you know that?”

“So what if I do?”

“Then is there any other progress between you two? Like, has she kissed you or anything?”

Ye Wenxin thought her tone was strange, but she couldn’t help feeling a little jealous. She didn’t know if she was Fairy Fengya’s number one. Or if Fairy Fengya’s emotionless nature would cost her even more later on.

“I’ve only done that with you.”

Although puzzled, Fairy Fengya gave an honest answer. She then felt a tightening grip around her waist.

Encouraged by her current advantage and those words, Ye Wenxin seemed ready to do something crazy.

Fairy Fengya tilted her head slightly, putting up no resistance. In her mind, Great Grandma warned her to be careful of Ye Wenxin’s flowery words.

Meanwhile, Ye Wenxin was determined to take action when the phoenix suddenly glared at her. Deterred, Ye Wenxin retracted her hand awkwardly. “That’s fine. But you can refuse me, you know.”

Fairy Fengya said nothing. Great Grandma’s voice echoed in her mind, reminding her that the scum was playing her. And, that she must not go along with anything Ye Wenxin said. If she did, it would only give Ye Wenxin an easy advantage.

In truth, Fairy Fengya didn’t mind, as long as it was Ye Wenxin. But she was also too lazy to voice such sentiments. Instead, she stared at Ye Wenxin while the other woman styled her hair and dressed her up.

For some reason, because Ye Wenxin wasn’t doing anything, Fairy Fengya felt a bit disappointed.

Great Grandma: Mistress, why are you suddenly feeling emotional?

Fairy Fengya: You’re imagining it.

Fairy Fengya lied to Great Grandma’s probing question.

Ever since that day, she had developed a mortal’s heart due to the Tribulation of Emotions. Now, because of this newfound sentiment, she was gradually falling apart.

But she never confided this to anyone, not even Great Grandma.
