Chapter 46

As Xu Nian’s words faded away, Ji Yuebai’s mind was involuntarily filled with an image of Mu Yanyu and Xu Nian entangled together. Would Xu Nian sleep with Mu Yanyu as closely as she did with her?

Xu Nian was obviously teasing her, deliberately moving very slowly. Inside, she was scrambling for an escape plan, considering the inappropriateness of actually going to Mu Yanyu’s place so late at night. However, after making such a bold declaration, backing down now would be too embarrassing.

In just a fleeting moment, a whirlwind of thoughts raced through her mind.

The thought of Xu Nian cuddling obediently against Mu Yanyu brought an indescribable turmoil to Ji Yuebai’s heart. Finally, she compromised, “Don’t go, come back.”

Xu Nian, seizing the opportunity, coyly asked, “Then, will you let me stay close to you?”

After a brief pause, Ji Yuebai spoke in her cool voice, with a slight hint of reluctance, “You can stay close to me.”

Xu Nian, eager to push her luck further, quickly returned to the bed in a few strides, cheekily inquiring, “Then, should I skip wearing my nightgown?”

Ji Yuebai, however, did not immediately agree this time, responding firmly, “No, you can’t.”

So, Xu Nian pretended to leave, saying, “Then I’ll go sleep with Mu Yanyu.”

She stood up, pretending to leave, and looked back to find Ji Yuebai showing no reaction. Then, Xu Nian stood up again, pretending to put on her shoes, yet still receiving no reaction from Ji Yuebai.

Realizing her bluff had been called, Ji Yuebai chose to ignore her antics.

Seeing this, Xu Nian had to find her own way out. She hummed, “Ah, the chilly autumn wind makes it colder. I’ve think it’s warmer to sleep in my nightgown.”

Without waiting for Ji Yuebai to react, she swiftly returned to the bed, nestling comfortably into Ji Yuebai’s arms, closed her eyes, and feigned sleep.

Initially, Xu Nian only pretended to sleep, secretly observing Ji Yuebai’s reactions. But whether due to exhaustion from the day’s cultivation or the evening’s antics, she soon fell into a deep, genuine sleep.

Ji Yuebai remained the only one awake, watching Xu Nian for a long while. Finally, with a sigh, she carefully tucked Xu Nian in with the blanket and then gradually drifted off to sleep.

…

The grand competition among disciples from the Eight Great Sects was about to begin. Tian Yuan Sect had already finalized the selection of several Nascent Soul stage Elders to lead the team, along with the official and reserve participants for the competition.

As the top disciple of her sect, Ji Yuebai was heavily relied upon by the sect leader and was undoubtedly expected to participate in the grand competition.

As for Mu Yanyu, being a new disciple, she was ineligible to participate in the competition. Despite having cultivation tasks and courses, her abundance of spirit stones and some strategic networking had enabled her to sneak into the logistics team for the competition.

Curious, Xu Nian asked Mu Yanyu, “Won’t this delay your cultivation?”

Since joining Xinglin Peak, Mu Yanyu, with her adaptable nature, had won the favor of her masters and Elders, receiving many cultivation pills She hadn’t put much effort into cultivation yet but had already reached the peak of the Qi-Training stage with the help of these pills.

Hearing Xu Nian’s question, Mu Yanyu waved her hands, explaining, “Master said one shouldn’t cultivate too quickly. I’m using this time to solidify my foundation, laying a firm groundwork for future core formation.”
