Chapter 998: The Fear of Being Dominated by Long Qingyue

Ye Wenxin didn’t know how to describe this feeling. If she had known Long Qingyue could do so much in a day, she would’ve examined every inch of her body. Then, she’d at least have something to fight back with.

Remembering Long Qingyue’s 10x sensitivity, Ye Wenxin reached out, intending to exact some revenge.

Long Qingyue easily dodged, still smiling. “Why so eager, Miss Ye? It’s not even dark yet.”

Ye Wenxin felt like an innuendo just flew overhead, but she wasn’t too sure. She gritted her teeth. “If I’d known, I would’ve stared longer that day.”

“Hehe, it’s not too late now.” Long Qingyue twirled a lock of Ye Wenxin’s hair. “But do you dare to look, Qingcheng?”

Her voice and expression both oozed seduction. Elegant as ever, but now with an added touch that made Ye Wenxin’s heart beat faster.

There was no denying it. Long Qingyue’s teasing was downright intoxicating.

“That’s all it takes? I truly wonder how you ever tricked those girls.” Seeing no resistance from Ye Wenxin, Long Qingyue lost interest. She looked around, trying to spot anyone else she recognized.

“I didn’t expect so many talented folks to show up this time.” Her eyes landed on three promising young cultivators, a slight smile tugging at her lips.

She stood beside Ye Wenxin. The aura they exuded felt leagues different from those around them.

“You think those three are good, too? I believe they’re the most talented among these blue-blooded disciples.” Ye Wenxin searched for Han Shanxue and the others as she spoke, wondering where they had gone.

She worried they might return soon and walk into this scene. However, spending too much time alone with Long Qingyue might lead to more teasing.

“Your master, Han Shanxue, also seems impressive. I’m curious about something, though. Why do you like accepting masters so much, and why are they all women?” Long Qingyue’s breath brushed Ye Wenxin’s ear again, making it itch. But if they weren’t so close, others could have overheard.

“Female masters are just better. You don’t know how great my current master is.” Ye Wenxin grew a little excited at the thought of Han Shanxue. However, she quickly reminded herself it was better to keep Han Shanxue’s manuals library a secret.

Despite her close relationship with Long Qingyue, they were quite different, especially in how they acted. If Long Qingyue ever found out, she’d no doubt use the fastest and most extreme methods to snatch everything from Han Shanxue.

Ye Wenxin, however, would take her time. Cultivators had long life spans, after all. Time was the only thing she truly had.

“Oh? Better during the day or at night?” Seeing Ye Wenxin’s hesitance and awkward expression, Long Qingyue assumed she had done something sinful again.

“Of course, during the day— Hold on. How did you know I accepted her as my master? I never told you.” Ye Wenxin quickly shifted the topic. But she knew Long Qingyue had countless ways to investigate her if she wanted to.

“I heard Han Shanxue’s thoughts. I’ve been watching your group for a while. I only came over after the others left.” Long Qingyue smiled, still scanning the surroundings for something interesting.

“After the others left? You don’t want to join us later?” Ye Wenxin roughly understood what Long Qingyue meant. She wasn’t much for group activities.

“I did plan to walk with you and reminisce about our time roaming the Martial World. But I saw something interesting just now, so I want to check that out first.” Long Qingyue smiled meaningfully.

Ye Wenxin wondered if she had some mischievous idea again.

“Alright,” answered Ye Wenxin. She didn’t mind much. Not like it was anything new. Besides, Long Qingyue would be more effective against Liu Churan and the peach blossom demon by staying hidden.

“Aren’t you going to stop me?”

“Based on my decades of experience, nothing I say will ever change your mind,” Ye Wenxin answered bluntly.

Long Qingyue didn’t deny it.

“Hehehe, Qingcheng, you truly understand me best. No wonder I like you so much.” Long Qingyue teased Ye Wenxin, her breath brushing against Ye Wenxin’s ear again. “But honestly, I’ve said many things I regretted.”

Her sudden honesty struck Ye Wenxin as odd. “Like what?” she asked.

Long Qingyue gave no direct answer. She pulled Ye Wenxin toward a nearby corner.

Ye Wenxin expected an earth-shattering secret, not Long Qingyue’s lips.

The kiss started gently and deepened with their tongues modestly touching. Knowing Long Qingyue’s current condition, Ye Wenxin let her take the lead.

Anyway, it was like getting touched by a kitten, completely harmless.

“I regret using the forbidden technique. I could be much happier without it, wouldn’t you agree?”

Long Qingyue stared straight at Ye Wenxin. She rarely voiced her thoughts so openly.

“I suspect your ‘happiness’ isn’t the kind I’m imagining.”

“Imagine whatever you want. I won’t answer anyway.” Long Qingyue pulled back slightly. “I won’t be by your side these next few days. Remember to miss me.”

Ye Wenxin felt exasperated. “Don’t worry. I’ve never once missed you.”

“Such a cold-hearted person you are.” Long Qingyue didn’t seem bothered. Her tone even carried a hint of teasing. “But I’m sure you’ll think of me every day.”

The underlying meaning in her words gave Ye Wenxin an ominous feeling. She wanted to grab Long Qingyue and demand an explanation, but the woman had already vanished.

Scanning her surroundings, Ye Wenxin spotted a figure resembling Long Qingyue approaching the three Nascent Soul-stage cultivators from earlier. It seemed she intended to team up with them.

Why wouldn’t Long Qingyue just stay with her?

Ye Wenxin became uneasy. Long Qingyue never did anything without purpose. Her every action had its reason, and a mere foreshadowing could set off a massive butterfly effect years later.

Yet, Long Qingyue reveled in it all. Ye Wenxin even began to suspect that the kiss had some hidden motive.

Her unease grew. She wiped her lips several times, worried Long Qingyue had left something on them
