“Wenxin Shimei, you’ve kept me waiting so long…” Long Qing’er’s voice was full of grievance, with a hint of menace. Ye Wenxin panicked, wanting to flee, but a surge of true energy sealed the door, trapping her inside.
“Ah, Senior Sister Qing’er, I’m sorry! I shouldn’t have ditched you!”
Ye Wenxin was genuinely frightened. Despite her cultivation being higher than Long Qing’er’s and having killed more enemies, the sheer presence of Long Qing’er left her unable to resist.
In any world, guilt is more terrifying than strength.
To avoid trouble, she had escaped to the back mountain, immersing herself in alchemy. She thought time would heal the anger of the two people she had wronged, but she underestimated their vengeful nature.
“Wenxin Shimei, do you know why people outside say I’m ruthless?" Long Qing’er wore a brilliant smile, but the killing intent in her eyes was unmistakable.
"N-no... I don’t know."
Ye Wenxin swallowed hard, fully aware of Long Qing’er’s true nature. Previously, an ignorant senior brother had teased her, only for Long Qing’er to chop off his third leg and send him home. That family had considerable power and sought retribution from Long Qing’er, who, feeling slightly guilty, wiped out the entire family single-handedly.
Yet, Ye Wenxin dared not speak about it. She feared that if she did, her own fate tonight would be even worse.
"I despise men. If I see someone I don’t like, I’ll definitely break their third leg."
Ye Wenxin forced out a strained smile, sensing that Long Qing’er was hinting at Ling Jue. But upon further thought, even if Ling Jue practiced transformation techniques, she didn’t possess a third leg anyway, so there was no need for Long Qing’er to pose a threat to her.
“Oh, I see, Senior Sister Long dislikes men.”
Seeing Ye Wenxin’s seemingly calm response, Long Qing’er grew a bit bored..
“Is that strange to you?” Long Qing’er inquired, unconcerned about others’ opinions but seeking some agreement.
“Not really, as long as it doesn’t involve me. Whether it’s male or female, or girl and girl, or guy and guy, I’m not too concerned.” Her survival instinct kicked in, and after a few seconds of thought, Ye Wenxin offered a tactful response.
Noticing the panic in Ye Wenxin’s eyes, Long Qing’er smiled gently, the killing intent fading as she continued, "You really are broad-minded, but don’t be so frightened. I’m good to you simply because I like you, but I have no intention of becoming your Dao partner."
Ye Wenxin showed a knowing expression, “I understand. You like Feng Ya Xianzi.”
One reason she didn’t mind interacting with Long Qing’er was that she was her friend’s niece. If Long Qing’er ever faced trouble, Ye Wenxin would protect her no matter what.
The second reason was Long Qing’er’s love for Feng Ya Xianzi, who, in Ye Wenxin’s eyes, was one of the few truly worthy of pursuing Feng Ya Xianzi.
If Long Qing’er could become Feng Ya Xianzi’s true disciple, Ye Wenxin planned to leverage her to get close to and eventually kill Feng Ya Xianzi.
