Tap, tap. The sound of Blue Ling’er’s footsteps entering the room combined with Yun Qianxue’s heartbeat formed a strange rhythm.
Listening, Blue Ling’er let out a sigh, as if worried about something.
“Ahh…”
From under the bed, Yun Qianxue silently thought:
‘Sister Ling’er seems to be in a bad mood?’
Blue Ling’er stopped in front of the ice sculpture. Her smooth, delicate heels were mere inches from Yun Qianxue, who was almost pressed against the sculpture.
As Blue Ling’er murmured softly, Yun Qianxue saw her take two steps forward.
“Master…”
The next second, something Yun Qianxue never expected happened.
“Master… smack… smack… haaah…”
A series of sounds that invited all sorts of fantasies reached Yun Qianxue’s ears.
Yun Qianxue had grown up.
An innocent girl might not know what Blue Ling’er was doing, but after spending that night serving Yu Yi together with Lü Qi at the Fengqing Sect, it would be strange if Yun Qianxue were still that pure, ignorant little girl.
Even though she couldn’t see, just from the sounds, Yun Qianxue quickly realized:
‘Could Sister Ling’er be kissing Big Sister’s ice sculpture?!’
As Blue Ling’er’s moans grew louder, the chill permeating the room became fiercer, to the point that Yun Qianxue, hiding under the bed, started shivering from the cold.
Yun Qianxue was deeply shocked, her mind unable to calm down for a long time.
‘This… there’s such a thing?!’
She still clearly remembered that when she kissed Yu Yi, her body had turned red and burned hot.
But Blue Ling’er was the complete opposite.
The more passionately she kissed, the heavier the cold she released!
“I can’t… I can’t… I-I can’t hold it anymore…”
Even Yun Qianxue, who had grown up in Cangzhou’s perpetual winter, found it hard to resist the cold Blue Ling’er was emitting.
Finally, she couldn’t help it. Covering her nose and mouth, she let out a cute but muffled sneeze:
Ah-choo!
In that instant, the air fell silent.
Blue Ling’er stopped kissing, silently stepping away from the ice sculpture.
The pair of delicate heels before Yun Qianxue’s eyes quietly turned around, the ten jade-like toes pointing toward her.
Then Blue Ling’er knelt on one knee. Her fair thighs were slender but not skinny, with just the right amount of tempting plumpness. From the slit in her skirt, a hint of water-blue fabric could faintly be seen.
The next moment, Blue Ling’er tilted her head and peered down, her eyes cold as if they could kill, staring intently at Yun Qianxue.
Yun Qianxue’s hair stood on end, a chill running down her spine. She silently thought:
‘I’m done… I’m so done for real this time…’
But what happened next was beyond Yun Qianxue’s expectations.
The Blue Ling’er in front of her—her fair, icy face visibly reddened at a speed noticeable to the naked eye. Then she suddenly covered her face with both hands, staggered back shyly, and thud, hit the wall behind her.
“Huh?”
Yun Qianxue was stunned.
She carefully crawled out from under the bed and saw Blue Ling’er curled up in a corner, covering her face, her ears bright red, looking utterly ashamed to show her face.
“L-Ling’er…”
Yun Qianxue tried to call out.
Blue Ling’er squirmed, seeming to wish Yun Qianxue would just ignore her.
“Don’t look at me, don’t look at me, and don’t talk to me…”
Seeing Blue Ling’er like this, Yun Qianxue felt guilt mixed with a strange emotion.
‘Sister Ling’er… is actually this naive and cute?’ Yun Qianxue silently thought.
Yun Qianxue knew that although Blue Ling’er seemed cold on the outside, she was actually a very gentle and warm-hearted sister.
But what Yun Qianxue hadn’t expected was that Blue Ling’er could be so adorable.
Normally, someone like Yun Qianxue who entered another’s room without permission and hid under the bed would definitely face severe retaliation.
But instead of causing trouble for Yun Qianxue, Blue Ling’er was the one who got shy and almost out of it.
Yun Qianxue decided to do something for Blue Ling’er.
“Sister Ling’er!”
Yun Qianxue suddenly raised her voice, walked up to Blue Ling’er, and placed her hands on her shoulders.
“I’m really sorry for seeing your secret, but…”
“Since you like Big Sister, you have to be brave and confess!”
“Are you willing to just settle for this, Sister Ling’er? Enduring for so long will only make you more and more miserable!”
Blue Ling’er slowly lowered her hands from her face, revealing her blushing cheeks.
“Qianxue…”
“Have you… already gone further with Master?”
Hearing this, Yun Qianxue recalled that wonderful night, so she smiled shyly and nodded.
“Oh? I see…”
Blue Ling’er let out a meaningful sigh.
“Sister Ling’er, I only waited five years before I couldn’t hold back and confessed my feelings to Big Sister. You’ve endured even longer. If this continues, I’m afraid…”
Blue Ling’er smiled bitterly.
“I know.”
“But as a disciple, I should be filial to Master. How can I have any other thoughts?”
“As the disciple Master trusts the most, I can only learn to endure.”
“But both Fourth Sister and Su Cheng, they…”
“I’m different from them.”
Blue Ling’er suddenly became serious, speaking calmly.
“It’s precisely because I understand ‘abstinence’ that Master trusts me the most. If I were as reckless as Su Cheng and the others, wouldn’t Master stop trusting me the most?”
Each of Yu Yi’s disciples wanted to be the “most special one” in her heart.
And Blue Ling’er wanted to be the one Yu Yi trusted and valued the most.
When Blue Ling’er learned that Yu Yi planned to focus on training her and make her a Grandmaster, she was already very happy.
And after receiving the promise of Dual Cultivation from Yu Yi, Blue Ling’er felt an unprecedented happiness.
Because it was enough proof that Yu Yi truly valued Blue Ling’er the most now.
“Uh… then Sister Ling’er, to keep your position as ‘the most trusted and valued,’ you’ve been enduring all this time. Doesn’t it hurt?”
Yun Qianxue carefully delivered the soul-searching question.
“Of course… it hurts.”
Blue Ling’er replied helplessly after a long silence.
“I thought so.”
Yun Qianxue also sighed, her gaze unconsciously drifting to the ice sculpture beside them.
That glance made Blue Ling’er blush again.
“I-I wasn’t just relieving loneliness! I just…”
Blue Ling’er quickly tried to explain, but stopped mid-sentence, unwilling to continue.
“Just what?”
Yun Qianxue was a bit curious.
“Nothing.”
Blue Ling’er replied.
How could she admit that she had no experience in this area and was still a pure virgin?
Kissing the ice sculpture was just her way of practicing her technique before Dual Cultivating with Yu Yi.
Although Blue Ling’er had imagined countless scenes of being “devoured” by Yu Yi, those were all fantasies.
When it came time for the real battle on the battlefield, she was a complete novice with zero practical experience.
If she didn’t practice more and ended up disappointing Yu Yi, that would be awkward.
