Mo Huaiyu followed An Ruoxi to the mountainside.
He looked around, taking in the beautiful scenery of Hundred Flowers Peak.
After walking for another fifteen minutes, the two reached a flat area.
There was a small courtyard here, surrounded by two trees—one was a peach tree, and the other was also a peach tree.
Mo Huaiyu could clearly sense that the spiritual energy here was much denser than in other places they had passed along the way.
An Ruoxi was the first to push open the courtyard gate, and Mo Huaiyu followed close behind.
As expected of Hundred Flowers Peak, the layout of the courtyard was just like the main hall from before; though not extravagant, it did not lack elegance.
There were two rooms before them—one straight ahead and one on the right.
“Junior Brother Mo, you will stay in the room on the right. Here is the key.”
After saying that, An Ruoxi handed the key to Mo Huaiyu.
Mo Huaiyu looked at the key in his hand and then at the room straight ahead.
He asked, “Senior Sister An, this room is…?”
“It is my room.”
Oh, so it was Senior Sister An’s room.
Wait!!
Senior Sister An’s room!
Mo Huaiyu froze in place, his eyes a bit dazed.
This… does this count as… living together?!
They had skipped the flirting phase entirely—skipped the hand-holding and kissing—and arrived at the final step before marriage: living together!
Even in a Galgame, it doesn’t work like this!
Shouldn’t the two parties chat more to increase favorability, then trigger a special event to open the heroine’s heart, leading to a special scene and a confession, before finally living together?
How did they end up living together right away?!
I don’t understand, but I am deeply shocked!
While Mo Huaiyu was questioning his life choices, An Ruoxi had already opened the door to the right.
“Junior Brother Mo, aren’t you going to come in and take a look?”
Mo Huaiyu snapped out of it and shook his head.
“Coming!”
He walked into the room.
Although the layout was simple, he didn’t dislike it.
If anything, this style suited his tastes quite well.
“Thank you, Senior Sister An. I like this room very much.”
A simple sentence of “I like it” made An Ruoxi freeze in place.
Gazing at the youth who was slightly shorter than her, a faint itching sensation arose in her heart.
An Ruoxi blinked her beautiful eyes and calmed her heart.
She then said, “Junior Brother Mo, you have come from far away today, so you must be tired. It’s best to get some rest. Tomorrow, I will lead you around to familiarize yourself with the sect.”
An Ruoxi stood there quietly as the sunlight streamed in through the window, as if all the radiance was converging upon her body.
Mo Huaiyu studied the Hundred Flowers Fairy, who was his betrothed.
Her black hair cascaded like a waterfall down her back, elegant and pure.
Her off-white dress further accentuated her fair skin.
The bulging at her chest indicated a well-developed figure, and a ribbon was tied around her slender waist.
The hem of her skirt didn’t drag on the floor; the loose fabric faintly revealed the outline of a pair of long legs.
Paired with her subtle mature style, she was truly beautiful.
Or rather, a beauty looks good in anything.
After careful observation, Mo Huaiyu felt that it was no wonder the Hundred Flowers Fairy was famous throughout the cultivation world; she truly lived up to her reputation.
He was stunned for a moment, but only for a moment.
This was because he had grown up by Yu Yun’s side.
Although Yu Yun was somewhat unreliable, her beauty was the greatest he had ever seen.
Therefore, because of Yu Yun, he had very high standards now.
Exactly how high? About three or four stories high.
“Does it look good?”
The youth’s eyes looked extremely clear.
An Ruoxi couldn’t tell if any desire had been born in him, but those bright eyes did reveal a hint of cuteness.
“It looks good.”
Mo Huaiyu spoke the truth.
After all, it was a fact.
If you dared to say the Hundred Flowers Fairy wasn’t beautiful, a crowd of people would likely knock on your door in the middle of the night to “give you a warm welcome.”
Suddenly, after hearing Mo Huaiyu’s words, a thought occurred to An Ruoxi.
She pinched the hem of her skirt with her delicate hand and twirled around once, looking like a blooming flower.
“Then, compared to that Saintess from the Goddess Palace, how do I fare?”
There was a hint of anticipation in her eyes.
Regarding the Saintess of the Goddess Palace—at the Dao-Asking Convention, An Ruoxi wasn’t the only one who had a connection with Mo Huaiyu; there was another person, the Saintess of the Goddess Palace, who was known as a literal ice beauty.
An Ruoxi’s eyes were like a pool of autumn water, glistening with ripples as if affection were blooming within them.
Mo Huaiyu was instantly stumped by this question.
He never expected Senior Sister An to ask something like that.
Before he could even snap back to his senses, An Ruoxi’s pupils shrank.
She also froze the moment she spoke those words.
How could she have asked such a thing?
“Junior Brother Mo, please disregard what I just said. I still have some things to tend to. I’ll see you tomorrow.”
An Ruoxi’s expression was a bit flustered.
She hurriedly left the small room and transformed into a streak of light, flying toward a distant mountain peak.
Mo Huaiyu watched An Ruoxi leave.
Once he confirmed she was gone, he closed the door and set up a small isolation formation.
Then, he took out a letter.
“This is the second letter. I hope Yu Yun can leave me a few more clues.”
After Mo Huaiyu opened the letter, a phantom image emerged.
Although her facial features couldn’t be seen clearly, one could tell she was definitely a peerless beauty just by looking at her silhouette.
As Yu Yun’s phantom appeared, she instructed, “Huaiyu, since you have opened this letter, it means you have successfully completed the task at the Dao-Asking Convention. Congratulations, congratulations! Your sister is very gratified; my Huaiyu has finally grown up. However, the next task at the Yuling Sect is equally difficult. I cannot get away right now, so I can only give you spiritual encouragement. But don’t worry, your sister will definitely support you unconditionally!”
“Huaiyu, you must come and save me quickly! This place is pitch black and without a single living thing. If this goes on for too long, your heavenly-looking sister’s mental state is going to collapse. Ahhh, just thinking about not seeing Huaiyu for so long makes my life feel completely dark.”
“Therefore, Huaiyu, I’ll say the important things three times: Come and save your sister quickly! Come and save your sister quickly! Come and save your sister quickly!”
After saying that, the phantom dissipated.
Seeing this, Mo Huaiyu’s mouth twitched.
He also wanted to save Yu Yun quickly, but given the difficulty of the tasks and his current cultivation base, he couldn’t do it quickly even if he wanted to.
Furthermore—
“Is that it?”
Mo Huaiyu picked up the letter.
It was a blank piece of paper with no other information left behind.
“Sister Yu Yun…”
He really felt like spitting out a mouthful of blood.
It was fine that Yu Yun was usually unreliable, but she was being unreliable even now.
The task at the Yuling Sect… At least tell me what the task is!
If he hadn’t noticed the traces left by Yu Yun at the Dao-Asking Convention, he would still be completely clueless.
Stuck with such an unreliable sister, Mo Huaiyu just wanted to roar at the sky.
This mission is too hard for me!
Yu Yun was not Mo Huaiyu’s biological sister.
He had been picked up by her when he was still an infant, and she had raised him ever since.
It wasn’t until Yu Yun disappeared that Mo Huaiyu found out his sister—who was unreliable in everything—was actually the world-renowned Yaotian Empress of the cultivation world!
This had caused a massive shock to Mo Huaiyu’s young heart, nearly shattering his entire worldview.
You mean that slovenly woman at home, who spent her days in a daze, expected food and clothes to be brought to her, did absolutely nothing, and would subject him to inhuman torture every now and then under the guise of “refilling her Huaiyu energy,” was actually the Empress respected by tens of thousands in the cultivation world?!
