Inside the room, on the wooden bed.
Chong Chong sat at the head of the bed, playing with her hair, her face full of unhappiness.
As soon as she heard that Chen Xiaoyan was going to Tianxin Pavilion to see Shen Qingqing again, she felt a pang in her heart.
‘After all, the person I love often goes to see another woman and even sets up a barrier to prevent a third person from joining. Anyone would be anxious and suspicious.’
‘Even if it’s some kind of medicinal bath, the entire Tianxiang Sect is made up of women. What’s there to hide?’
‘And that woman, Shen Qingqing—whether she’s a game NPC or a real person, I still haven’t figured it out.’
‘If she’s an NPC, then where do her little feelings for Sister Xiaoyan come from?’
‘If she’s a real person, then is this Xianjie really just a game?’
‘Anyway, no matter what, Sister Xiaoyan’s power came from her, so I’ll put up with it for now.’
‘When we reach the later stages and our levels are high, if Shen Qingqing has no designs on Sister Xiaoyan, that’s fine.’
‘But if she does?’
‘Hmph!’
‘I’ll make her pay!’
‘But the premise is that Sister Xiaoyan hasn’t developed feelings. If she does, then it won’t be a three-way split, but a four-kingdom hegemony.’
‘Fortunately, compared to the three of us, Shen Qingqing has one disadvantage: she can’t return to the real world.’
“Sister Chong Chong, you’re not angry, are you?”
Just as Chong Chong was lost in thought, A Curtain of Dreams suddenly walked in.
“What do I have to be angry about?” Chong Chong tilted her head, glanced behind her, and asked, “Did Sister Xiaoyan leave?”
“Mm.”
“Then let her go. I’m going to start my daily cultivation quests. Don’t disturb me unless it’s important.” With that, she sat cross-legged on the bed, putting on an air of “do not disturb.”
A Curtain of Dreams saw her pretending to be aloof and couldn’t help but secretly smile. She shook her head and left.
Listening to the footsteps fade away, Chong Chong slowly opened her eyes a slit. When she was sure she was gone, she quickly opened her eyes and pulled up the private chat interface, sending a message to both Mu Qingxue and Liu Yue.
Chong Chong: Hey, we’re about to be homewrecked!!! Log off quickly, let’s chat on Penguin.
Mu Qingxue: ?
Dao Ji Shi Kong: ?
Ignoring their confusion, Chong Chong immediately logged off.
She believed that regarding Chen Xiaoyan, these two would be just as restless as she was.
Sure enough, within thirty seconds of logging off, Penguin received messages from both of them. It seemed they were also frantic.
Then, Chong Chong pulled Mu Qingxue and Liu Yue into a discussion group.
Chong Chong: Shen Qingqing—I guarantee that woman is definitely up to something. She harbors impure intentions toward Sister Xiaoyan.
Liu Yue: Shen Qingqing? Isn’t she an NPC?
Chong Chong: Liu Yue, haven’t you noticed any changes in your real life?
Liu Yue: I have.
Chong Chong: Exactly. Sister Xiaoyan and I have them too, and they’re huge. We Tianxiang players heal from injuries in the real world incredibly fast—unlike normal people. So we’ve discussed it. This Xianjie is not a game. Even if it is, it’s not an ordinary game.
Dao Ji Shi Kong: You mean we’ve traveled to another world?
Chong Chong: Possibly. No, no, we digressed. I’m talking about Shen Qingqing.
Chong Chong recounted the two times she was blocked by the barrier. She brought up the old matter again, embellishing the story of the Soul Returning Necklace in detail.
She basically painted Shen Qingqing as a treacherous woman who lusted after Chen Xiaoyan’s body.
Mu Qingxue: That sounds a bit off. Are you sure it’s the truth?
Chong Chong: More or less. Believe it or not, but if Shen Qingqing steals Sister Xiaoyan away, I won’t be the only one panicking.
Liu Yue: That can’t be right. An NPC…
Chong Chong: Oh, I already told you, she might be a real person.
Mu Qingxue: Little Internet Celebrity, Shen Qingqing is not someone we can deal with right now. If she gets angry, even ten Xueyan Pavilions couldn’t beat her.
Chong Chong: So, you plan to stand idly by and watch Sister Xiaoyan get taken away?
Liu Yue: So what’s your idea?
Chong Chong: I mean, let’s form an alliance of three. Together we’ll deal with Shen Qingqing, and the others too. You know what Sister Xiaoyan is like. Also, those two little vixens from Wushuang Lou recently came to ask Sister Xiaoyan for help again, putting on a pitiful act. Ugh! If you weren’t there to see it—such a fragile young lady that even I wanted to step up and protect her. That’s why I suggested we three form an alliance to never let those other little bitches have a chance.
Mu Qingxue: I know about those sisters. Yan Bao discussed it with me, and I’ve already sent someone to fetch them and send them to Qingzhou.
Chong Chong, Liu Yue: Qingzhou?
Mu Qingxue: Yes.
Chong Chong: Mmp, otaku girl, you damn mole! Are you not satisfied with the number of love rivals you have? Sending them to Qingzhou—is there no room in Zhongzhou?
Mu Qingxue: Little Internet Celebrity, speak to this young lady more politely. What can I do? This was Yan Bao’s plan. I only agreed to what she decided.
Liu Yue: You really handled this improperly.
Mu Qingxue: If you’re so capable, you do it. Besides, Yan Bao said she won’t have feelings for them.
Chong Chong: And do you think that’s believable?
Mu Qingxue: No.
Chong Chong, Liu Yue: …
Liu Yue: @Mu Qingxue, let me ask, where in Qingzhou are you arranging them?
Mu Qingxue: Yan Bao said to arrange them by her side.
[Group Owner Chong Chong has disbanded this discussion group]
“Ah!!! Otaku girl, you’re a damn moron!” In a fit of rage, Chong Chong threw her phone onto the pillow.
The anger in her heart spread and burned like wildfire meeting dry grass.
She was about to explode.
‘I nearly died from anger at Mu Qingxue’s fucking move.’
‘What kind of emotional intelligence does this otaku girl have? Doesn’t she know what “first come, first served” means, or that “familiarity breeds affection”?’
‘No, I need to go to Qingzhou right now and find a place near her neighborhood.’
‘Wait, nearby?’
At this moment, a spark of inspiration hit Chong Chong. She remembered that Chen Xiaoyan lived in an apartment building. Could there be houses for sale or rent there?
But as soon as the thought came, she dismissed it, because the entire complex had been bought by Mu Qingxue. That otaku girl definitely wouldn’t let her live there.
‘What to do?’
She could only entrust someone to go to Qingzhou, hoping for a good outcome.
‘If that doesn’t work, I’ll wander at the entrance of the complex, set up a tent, and guard my Sister Xiaoyan.’
‘The only downside is, if someone who knows me sees me, this will definitely make the headlines.’
‘Headline news?’
Chong Chong sneered disdainfully.
‘Compared to my Sister Xiaoyan, I’d dare to do it even for ten headlines, let alone one.’
Then, with a grim expression, she acted on it immediately, frantically finding someone to go to Qingzhou.
After that, she returned to the game.
Meanwhile, on the other side.
Mu Qingxue looked at the disbanded discussion group and asked herself, ‘Was I being a bit brainless?’
But since the matter was already decided, if she rashly changed it, would Yan Bao be angry?
‘Forget it, I already agreed. Might as well proceed with the plan. At worst, I’ll have Yaoyao keep an eye out, arrange those sisters in another apartment block, and supervise them carefully.’
