Chapter 11: Let that kid reveal his beastly nature

Description

Mo Huaiyu watched An Ruojun’s departing figure, a faint sense of foreboding blooming in his heart.

The final glare she had shot him was incredibly fierce; he couldn’t help but wonder if she had already developed a deep-seated grudge against him.

“You don’t need to pay any mind to my sister’s words,” An Ruoxi said, her beautiful eyes turning toward Mo Huaiyu.

“Understood.”

Mo Huaiyu nodded.

He was curious, but he didn’t press for details.

After all, this seemed to be Senior Sister An’s private family matter.

Moreover, if he wasn’t mistaken, An Ruojun likely had some sort of connection to him as well.

An Ruoxi turned her delicate frame and, with her long legs stepping gracefully, walked into the courtyard.

Seeing this, Mo Huaiyu hurried to follow.

Before entering the small courtyard, he took a deliberate look back to confirm that An Ruojun had truly left before stepping inside.

“Senior Sister An, has Biluo Fairy broken through to the Cave-Heaven Realm?”

“Not yet, though given her talent, it won’t be long.”

“Is that so? Biluo Fairy looks like she really despises me. Do you know why, Senior Sister An? If I recall correctly, I’ve never met her before today.”

He could understand a sister protecting her sibling from being “stolen” by an outsider, but that gaze of hers didn’t look like protection at all—it was downright murderous.

“She… hates men. In the future, if Junior Brother Mo sees my sister, it would be best to stay far away.”

“I see. Thank you for the warning, Senior Sister An.”

As Mo Huaiyu reached the house where he was temporarily staying, he noticed that Senior Sister An showed no intention of leaving.

Just then, An Ruoxi extended a fair, jade-like hand toward him.

???

For a moment, Mo Huaiyu didn’t understand what she was trying to convey.

“Junior Brother Mo, your Communication Token,” An Ruoxi added.

“Oh, right. That’s what you meant.”

Realization dawned on Mo Huaiyu.

He quickly took out the token and placed it into her delicate palm.

After using her spiritual power to imprint her contact information onto it, An Ruoxi returned the Communication Token to Mo Huaiyu.

“My contact information is inside. If Junior Brother Mo encounters any trouble, simply activate it, and I will arrive immediately.”

Mo Huaiyu took the Communication Token and offered his thanks.

“Thank you, Senior Sister An.”

“Mhm. Rest well, Junior Brother Mo.”

As An Ruoxi turned to leave, a gentle breeze happened to blow by, lightly lifting the hem of her skirt.

For a fleeting moment, the perfect, pinkish-fair curves of her long legs were visible, a sight that could make one unable to look away.

Mo Huaiyu caught the scene by accident.

Though it lasted only an instant, the image was exceptionally clear in his mind.

Suddenly gaining a fiancée as beautiful as a fairy—he wasn’t sure if this was a blessing or a sign of trouble to come.

***

Mo Huaiyu’s performance today undoubtedly caused waves within the Yuling Sect, especially among the Core Disciples.

After all, fighting to a draw with Senior Sister An was a feat of strength sufficient to look down upon many of the sect’s disciples.

Naturally, everyone wanted to know this young boy’s identity.

To become a Core Disciple of the Yuling Sect at such an age and with such strength, he certainly couldn’t be a nobody.

However, the investigation yielded nothing.

There was no record of such a person existing prior to Mo Huaiyu’s various displays at the Dao-Asking Convention.

While Mo Huaiyu was bidding farewell to An Ruoxi and returning to his room, on the other side—

Biluo Fairy, An Ruojun, returned to her cave-dwelling feeling somewhat despondent.

Today, not only had she failed to make that brat stay away from her sister, but she had even caused her sister to dislike her.

“Darned brat! If it weren’t for him, how could Ruoxi have said those things!”

In an instant, An Ruojun shifted all the blame for her internal frustration onto Mo Huaiyu.

“Hmph! Don’t think that just because you have a harmless-looking face you can make me lower my guard. Impossible!”

An Ruojun entered the cave-dwelling in a huff, only to find someone already there.

The visitor wore a pink-and-white gown with wide sleeves, embroidered with floral patterns that made her look like a blooming orchid.

The dress clung perfectly to her delicate frame, tracing the curves of her well-proportioned body.

Since they were inside An Ruojun’s private cave-dwelling, she was even more relaxed, revealing a pair of rounded, long legs and exquisitely delicate, flawless bare feet.

“You’re back.”

Seeing An Ruojun enter, she broke into a smile, her elegance carrying a hint of charm.

Xia Qingluan—in terms of talent, she was only slightly inferior to An Ruojun.

Furthermore, she was a genius alchemist.

“What’s wrong? You look like you’re ready to eat someone.”

Xia Qingluan flicked her slender finger, and a nearby teapot flew up automatically to pour a cup of tea.

An Ruojun grabbed the cup and drained it in one gulp before looking at Xia Qingluan.

“What are you doing here?”

“What? Can’t I come visit my good friend Biluo Fairy for a chat?”

Xia Qingluan blinked her beautiful eyes and gave a soft smile.

“Rather, who provoked our Biluo Fairy to be in such a foul mood today?”

At the mention of this, An Ruojun furrowed her brows, looking displeased.

“A little brat whose hair hasn’t even grown in yet actually wants to take Ruoxi as his wife. I absolutely refuse to allow it!”

“Is it that… the Marriage Contract between the Yuling Sect and the Yaotian Empress you mentioned before?”

“Precisely!”

An Ruojun was facing away from Xia Qingluan, but from her puffed-out cheeks, it was clear that her best friend was genuinely fuming.

Despite An Ruojun’s usual unreasonable and aggressive persona, in reality, she occasionally showed the side of a young girl.

“But I recall that after you ruined the reputation of the ‘Hundred Flowers Fairy,’ the sect revoked your title, and only then did the Cultivation World begin calling you Biluo Fairy.”

Xia Qingluan looked at her friend helplessly.

The title of Hundred Flowers Fairy was tied to the reputation of the Yuling Sect since it was a sect-certified title.

After An Ruojun tarnished it, the Yuling Sect had stripped her of the status.

“That may be true, but the current Hundred Flowers Fairy is my sister, Ruoxi. In other words, Ruoxi has to take my place and marry that brat. This won’t do!”

Xia Qingluan rolled her eyes beautifully.

“Back then, you ruined the reputation of the Hundred Flowers Fairy just to escape this Marriage Contract. Do you want your sister to ruin the title’s reputation now too? Would the sect even allow it?”

Hearing this, An Ruojun fell silent, though her puffed cheeks indicated her deep dissatisfaction.

Xia Qingluan felt somewhat speechless, but after a moment of thought, she spoke up.

“How about this? We can’t ruin the reputation of the Hundred Flowers Fairy, but we can ruin that kid’s reputation. As long as the sect realizes his character is lacking, they’ll see that marrying the Hundred Flowers Fairy to him would cause the entire sect to lose face. That should solve it.”

Upon hearing this, An Ruojun’s eyes lit up.

“I knew you’d have a way, Qingluan! Tell me, quickly!”

“Think about it. In those books I showed you, what do men love most?”

“Beautiful women.”

“Exactly!”

Xia Qingluan pointed her slender finger at An Ruojun and said:

“You were the former Hundred Flowers Fairy! Your looks and figure are among the best in the entire Cultivation World. If you just seduce that brat a little, you’ll surely force him to reveal his beastly heart. With a little maneuvering, you can make it so your sister just happens to walk in on the scene. She’ll lose all hope in men, and then you report it to the sect. Won’t that do the trick?”

Hearing her best friend’s plan, An Ruojun’s confidence was instantly reignited.
