“Che—” Yun Fei opened the door huffily and then stepped aside to make a way.
A victorious smile appeared on the corner of Mu Lingxi’s mouth, making Yun Fei feel a surge of panic in her heart.
What trick was this woman going to play now?
While thinking this, Yun Fei saw Mu Lingxi enter the room, close the door behind her, and apply a spiritual energy identification lock—a lock that could only be opened by her own spiritual energy.
Noticing her actions, alarm bells immediately rang in Yun Fei’s mind.
“You… what do you want to do?”
Without even noticing it herself, Yun Fei took a small step back, which was caught by Mu Lingxi, who was watching her closely.
“Oh my… the famous Young Master of the Demon Realm… why, am I really that scary to you?”
A playful smile curved on Mu Lingxi’s cheeks as she approached Yun Fei step by step.
Hearing the provocation, Yun Fei suddenly snapped out of it.
What was with that subconscious retreat just now?
Something was wrong! Very wrong!
“Scared? How is that possible! Even if you punch me like you did that day, I wouldn’t be afraid!”
Yun Fei swallowed hard, her mind quickly constructing a scene of being punched in the stomach by Mu Lingxi.
Although it would hurt, she wasn’t afraid!
Her mother’s strength was much greater than hers!
After comparing Mu Lingxi with her own mother, Yun Fei suddenly felt the pressure on her body decrease significantly, and the last bit of fear in her heart finally vanished.
“Is that true?” Mu Lingxi’s eyes lit up. She looked directly into Yun Fei’s eyes, and Yun Fei actually saw a glimmer of hope in them?
No… wait! That’s not the point!
“Wait… you’re serious! I was joking! I haven’t agreed yet!”
Seeing the fist growing larger in front of her eyes, Yun Fei hurriedly dodged.
The punch missed, but it left a slight sonic boom in the air.
No!
It shouldn’t be like this!
Your reaction to my stubbornness shouldn’t be like this!
You should have a wicked smile on your face, approach me step by step, then pinch my cheeks and say something like
“The Princess’s mouth is the most stubborn part of her whole body” or something!
But it was too late to say anything. Seeing that her first strike missed, Mu Lingxi’s subsequent attacks came like raindrops.
Yun Fei could only keep jumping around the room to avoid them.
“Can the Princess only hide?” Mu Lingxi was like a vengeful spirit crawling out of the ground, refusing to let go.
“Damn it… don’t get cocky!”
Yun Fei bit her teeth, dodged a punch head-on, and then her eyes narrowed.
Her moment to counterattack had come!
Yun Fei quickly covered her hands with magic power.
At the moment before Mu Lingxi could retract her hand, she firmly grabbed her arm.
Good chance!
A hidden flash of joy appeared in Yun Fei’s eyes.
Just as she was about to use force to throw her out, she found that her hands could not move.
Yun Fei looked in surprise and saw that her hands had been covered in frost at some point.
The frost was like a highly infectious germ, spreading rapidly up her arms without any sign of stopping.
Yun Fei’s eyes widened. Her whole body was now unable to move.
“Hee hee~ Now is the Princess willing to calm down and listen to me?”
Mu Lingxi giggled as she pulled her arm out.
Her annoying little face leaned in close, and her slightly cool breath hit Yun Fei’s face, quickly condensing into a thin layer of frost.
“The one who should calm down is you! Attacking me without a word and making that excited expression…”
Yun Fei felt very wronged now.
Ever since she had a brain fart and went up against Mu Lingxi, she never had a good ending.
She had really had enough.
Their strength was clearly similar, and they were both rising stars of the same generation.
Why was she the only one suffering?
Let her win once!
The consequences of every past attempt against Mu Lingxi flashed through Yun Fei’s mind, and her face suddenly slumped.
At this moment, she felt all the grievances of years welling up at once, and crystal tears gathered at the corners of her eyes.
Seeing Yun Fei’s silent crying, the smile on Mu Lingxi’s face faded, replaced by panic.
“Eh? Why are you crying? Don’t cry, I’ll defrost you right away!”
Mu Lingxi hurriedly reached out her fingers to wipe away the tears from the corners of Yun Fei’s eyes.
“Why… why have I been losing ever since I met you? I clearly have talent and work hard, so why do you always suppress me? As the designated Young Master of the Demon Realm, I haven’t gained a single advantage at the hands of a minor Saintess from the Profound Realm. Do you know how much pressure I’m under?”
As she spoke, Yun Fei cried even more miserably.
“Eh? But…”
Mu Lingxi also realized at this time that her behavior just now was indeed a bit over the top.
But looking at Yun Fei’s face, she really couldn’t help but want to tease her.
Who knew that Yun Fei, having turned into a girl, would actually cry?
She had never comforted anyone in her life.
Mu Lingxi didn’t know how to comfort her, so she decided to get the ice off her first.
After the ice was thawed by Mu Lingxi, Yun Fei’s body could finally move.
Her eyes, soaked in tears, rolled around.
Taking advantage of Mu Lingxi’s confusion, a smile secretly appeared on the corner of Yun Fei’s mouth under her messy long hair.
Hee hee—
“Hah!”
With Mu Lingxi looking bewildered, Yun Fei attached magic power to her hands to form demon claws.
She pressed one hand on Mu Lingxi’s shoulder and the other against her neck, pinning her to the floor.
“You…”
“Hehe~ I won~”
Mu Lingxi’s eyes widened in shock as she looked at the triumphant Yun Fei.
Where were the tear stains on her face now?
“Are your tears free? They just flow whenever you want?”
After reacting, Mu Lingxi carefully recalled what happened, and the expression on her face was quite spectacular.
“Humph! This is the brilliance of this Young Master. Mu Lingxi, you are still too green.”
“Yes, yes, yes. I’m too green, so can you let me go now?”
“No!”
Yun Fei shook her head firmly.
“It wasn’t easy to get the upper hand on you, I have to enjoy this!”
After saying that, Yun Fei raised her eyebrows and gave a provocative look to the girl lying on the ground with slightly messy clothes, then sat directly on her.
“You… what are you doing! Get off!”
Feeling the weight on her body, Mu Lingxi’s face flushed.
She turned her head to the side, not looking at Yun Fei’s face.
“Oh! I didn’t think the Lady Saintess would blush too. This shy look is quite rare.”
“You, you, you… you are shameless!”
The red on Mu Lingxi’s face deepened a lot, and her mind was clearly becoming a bit muddled.
Look, Yun Fei, a girl, was sitting on her and was actually being accused of being shameless?
If Yun Fei were still a man, she would accept the charge, but now she was a girl, so how was it shameless?
While the two were trading words, the window of Yun Fei’s room was suddenly opened, and then a voice came from outside.
“Lingxi, you’ve been in there for a long time. Are you done yet? Do you want me to help…”
Jiang Qing’s voice stopped abruptly.
The reason was that she had just poked her head in through the window and saw a scene that made her brain stall.
“You… you guys… keep it up. The cafeteria food is here, it’ll get cold if you don’t eat it soon.”
After saying that, Jiang Qing immediately closed the window and fled.
The sound of her hurried footsteps echoed in the ears of the two in the room.
Yun Fei quickly got off Mu Lingxi.
At this moment, no matter how thick-skinned she was, after being accidentally caught in such a misleading scene, a flush appeared on her face.
The Saintess was even worse.
When no one was around, her face was already red beyond belief.
Now that she had been caught by her senior, her face was so red it looked like it was about to bleed.
“Uh… that…”
Seeing Mu Lingxi like this, a sense of guilt arose in Yun Fei’s heart.
If she had gotten off Mu Lingxi earlier, this wouldn’t have happened.
“I’m sorry! Today was my fault, I’m leaving first.”
Yun Fei wanted to apologize, but Mu Lingxi beat her to it.
The door slammed shut.
Yun Fei stood blankly on the spot, the air filled with a citrus scent.
“Phew— I finally let out some steam today. She saw me looking miserable that day, and today I made her suffer a big loss. Now both she and I have leverage the other doesn’t want to mention. I suppose she’s no longer a threat to me.”
Yun Fei let out a breath and suddenly felt refreshed.
“Cleansing Spell!”
She casually cast a spell to clean the water stains on the floor.
Yun Fei looked out the window.
It was getting dark.
Today was the first day of her long stay in the Profound Realm.
Half of her goal for this trip had been achieved, but the remaining half would be a bit difficult.
