As for the spirit stones? Oh, Qian Feixu was so moved by her good deed that she voluntarily offered to donate to this great benefactor. What was wrong with that?
Qian Feixu was shocked by Hua Jian’s shamelessness. She actually used Saintess Linglong to tempt her… It was just too wicked!
Most infuriatingly, when she heard this deal, she didn’t feel she was losing out at all, because she really, really wanted to see Saintess Linglong’s graceful figure.
“Tell me, how many spirit stones do you want?”
Hua Jian held up one finger.
“One hundred? Fine, show me quickly!”
Hua Jian’s finger twitched. Should she say she only wanted ten?
Although one hundred spirit stones and ten spirit stones didn’t make much difference to her now, asking Qian Feixu for money was purely out of mischievousness and not wanting to be taken advantage of.
But upon hearing Qian Feixu so easily accept the offer of one hundred spirit stones, Hua Jian still felt the disparity of this world.
She remembered when she was that age, she had to think carefully before spending even one spirit stone.
And yet this little one just casually threw away a hundred.
It made Hua Jian can’t help but want to take advantage of Qian Feixu.
Originally, she planned to broadcast normally, projecting the images she saw onto her palm using a Spirit Technique. But now, her thoughts changed.
You get what you pay for. Since Qian Feixu gave so many spirit stones, she naturally had to provide the best audio-visual experience.
“Come, hold my hand.”
Hua Jian beckoned to Qian Feixu with her finger.
“Oh.”
Qian Feixu didn’t hesitate at all. She grabbed Hua Jian’s hand and even squeezed hard, wanting to express her dissatisfaction this way.
‘Soft, smooth, as if boneless in my hand.’
‘Tch, no wonder she could be the Saintess of Ten Thousand Flowers Valley—she must have sold her beauty many times.’
While thinking this, she suddenly felt something with a strange texture crawling from her arm onto her body.
Looking down, a nearly transparent thin vine grew from Hua Jian’s hand and had already wrapped around her shoulder.
“Don’t move. I’m going to share my perception with you.” Before she could make an overreaction, Hua Jian anticipated her thoughts and blocked her intended resistance with a single sentence.
For her idol, Qian Feixu gritted her teeth, endured the strange feeling of the foreign object climbing on her, and looked up at the sky with anticipation.
The vine growing from Hua Jian advanced along Qian Feixu’s spine, revealing a somewhat frightening side under the clothes where others couldn’t see.
The tip of the vine turned into a long thin needle and gently pierced above Qian Feixu’s spine.
Hua Jian’s movements were gentle. Qian Feixu didn’t even feel pain before she received the shared image from Hua Jian.
‘So clear…’ She blinked and stared intently at the girl standing on the golden steps, chatting happily with Qian Feixue.
‘Really as beautiful as Hua Jian said… No, even more beautiful than Hua Jian said!’
‘The portraits she had seen before couldn’t compare to Saintess Linglong herself. Those painters, every single one of them, had not fully revealed Saintess Linglong’s beauty!’
Amidst her shock, Qian Feixu also felt some dissatisfaction. ‘Why was this view wobbling? And why did the focus sometimes zoom in and out, and when zooming in, it focused on the lips of the two?’
Thinking of what Hua Jian just said, Qian Feixu half understood. ‘She’s sharing Hua Jian’s perception… so Hua Jian is paying attention to this?’
“Why are you looking at the Saintess’s lips?”
She turned to look at Hua Jian, but everything before her eyes didn’t change at all. Her own vision was now completely blocked.
If seen from outside, one would find that Qian Feixu’s eyes were now vacant, her blue pupils dilated into big circles without focus, like a pitiful person born blind.
After she asked that question, Qian Feixu saw the vision flicker twice, and then she heard Hua Jian’s helpless explanation in her ears.
“I’m reading their lips, listening to what they’re saying.” After saying this half sentence, Hua Jian changed her tone the next moment.
‘Saintess has come from afar%¥#’
This was Qian Feixue’s tone, and what Hua Jian said exactly matched Qian Feixue’s lip movements.
After Qian Feixue finished, Hua Jian changed her tone again and began imitating Linglong.
The two were also saying some formalities, nothing but ‘hello, good, everyone is good’, ‘don’t forget friendship, create future together’.
‘Have you ever heard Saintess Linglong speak? Yet you imitate?’
‘Although it did sound like the impression Saintess Linglong gave, Qian Feixu felt that Hua Jian was disrespecting Linglong and deliberately causing trouble!’
“You are not allowed to imitate Saintess Linglong!”
“Hey, I let you hear your favorite idol’s voice, and you’re not happy?”
“The Saintess wouldn’t speak like that! Don’t think you can fool me!”
Hua Jian rolled her eyes. ‘Doesn’t she know what Linglong’s tone is like? As if! I even know the taste of Linglong’s lips, how could I not know this?’
But she couldn’t tell Qian Feixu about it, so she let the girl misunderstand for now.
Later, she would know if what she said was true.
“Fine, fine, then I won’t relay it for you. You can continue watching the silent show.”
“…Keep talking, but don’t use that voice!” Qian Feixu stomped her feet in anger. After experiencing Hua Jian’s audio-visual service, watching a silent show was too uncomfortable.
She could only very aggrievedly ask Hua Jian to continue translating the lip reading for her, to hear what Qian Feixue and Linglong were actually saying.
“It’s all old-fashioned talk… Oh, she mentioned you. Said she has a younger sister who really likes the Saintess.”
Hearing this, Qian Feixu’s breath stopped. Her heart started thumping loudly.
She didn’t know if it was an illusion, but she thought she saw her cousin point in her direction.
Then, she saw Saintess Linglong look in this direction and meet her eyes.
‘Was it an illusion?’
‘No, definitely not an illusion!’
She felt it. The Saintess’s gaze lingered on her for a full five or six breaths. First it was a bit surprised, then the smile on the Saintess’s face suddenly became even brighter!
Not only that, the Saintess even smiled at her! Her smile was so beautiful!
‘Boohoo, Lady Saintess, my Lady Saintess, for this smile alone, I would be a lifelong fan of Saintess Linglong!’
“Did you see that? Saintess Linglong smiled at me! She saw me!”
The next moment, the image before Qian Feixu went black. Then, her vision returned.
This time she couldn’t see Linglong, only Hua Jian beside her, who was holding back laughter.
“Hey! What are you doing? The Saintess is still there, let me see!”
“She’s already gone back into the flying ship. Your sister Feixue even mentioned you, meaning the official business is almost done. Look, the tower ship is about to take off.”
Hua Jian pointed at the sky to explain. It wasn’t that she didn’t want to continue the live broadcast for Qian Feixu, but the broadcast had ended.
Qian Feixue and Linglong had both gone inside the tower ship.
Nothing could be seen anymore, so she had to end the broadcast.
Qian Feixu looked up, and sure enough, as Hua Jian said, the auspicious signs in the sky were fading.
The Jade Pool’s tower ship slowly departed, rising into the clouds and disappearing from sight.
Indeed, the Jade Pool’s tower ship was parked outside Frozen Winter City and would not enter the city.
After all, this big ship was not small compared to the city. If it really floated into the city, a large area of residents would have to live under the shadow of the tower ship.
“By the way, let me remind you—Linglong did not smile at you.”
“What nonsense are you talking about? I saw with my own eyes that Saintess Linglong saw me and smiled at me. How could that be false?” Qian Feixu retorted confidently.
Then, under Hua Jian’s gaze that seemed to look at a little fool, Qian Feixu became less and less confident. ‘Did I really see wrong?’
Seeing that Qian Feixu still hadn’t realized, Hua Jian pointed at her own eyes with a speechless expression, reminding Qian Feixu that she had just been sharing her own vision.
At that time you were a little blind person, looking in the wrong direction. How could you have met Linglong’s eyes?
The one who met Linglong’s eyes was me, and the object of Linglong’s smile was also me! What does that have to do with you, silly girl.
“You silly girl, it’s fine to just smell the meat from the side, but how dare you dream of having the swan’s meat?”
“You…” Qian Feixu’s mood seemed to fall from heaven to hell in an instant.
She wanted to convince herself not to believe Hua Jian’s words, but she had to admit that Hua Jian was right.
Just now she was indeed sharing Hua Jian’s vision. ‘In other words, what I saw was what Hua Jian saw!’
‘Saintess Linglong was not smiling at me, but at Hua Jian.’
“Why? Why would she smile at you? I’m the one who…”
Hua Jian reached out and gently tapped Qian Feixu on the forehead. “You’re just her little fan, but I’m her good friend. I told you yesterday, but you didn’t believe me.”
The welcome ceremony had ended. The main characters had all exited.
The people on the city walls and towers had almost all dispersed, and Hua Jian and Qian Feixu’s voices gradually grew louder.
Those still here were all Qian Family guards. Hua Jian’s words stirred no ripples in their ears.
After all, this guest was someone the young lady had specially instructed to be treated well.
It was normal for two distinguished guests to know each other, wasn’t it?
“How could she possibly have a good friend like you? I don’t accept it!”
“Oh, the Saintess and I are a perfect match. How could a demon like you oppose us?” Hua Jian chuckled.
She was in a particularly good mood, full of energy teasing Linglong’s little fan.
It was just too satisfying. This kind of flirtatious exchange with the fan’s idol right in front of the fan felt as satisfying as cucking the fan!
Stretching with satisfaction, Hua Jian was very pleased with today’s welcome ceremony. Next, she just had to wait for Linglong to come to her.
If she thought about it seriously, she thought Linglong would contact her through Qian Feixue in a day or two, and then they would arrange a place to meet, which would best hide their actions.
She also needed to prepare well for the upcoming reunion. Thinking this, Hua Jian pushed the aggrieved Qian Feixu, who was about to cry.
“Alright, alright. You’ve seen who you wanted to see. Now you should go home and accept your punishment.”
“Punishment?!” Qian Feixu forcefully sniffed, momentarily stunned.
‘Why should I be punished?’
“Did you forget you sneaked out? If it weren’t for your sister Feixue being kind to you, you would have been locked in the Qian Family today and couldn’t even get out the door.”
Hua Jian sighed and pointed at the few guards nearby. “If you don’t believe me, ask them.”
The several Qian Family guards whom Hua Jian pointed at smiled awkwardly and nodded under Qian Feixu’s sorrowful gaze.
“Miss Feixu, Miss Feixue used great effort to allow you to play outside for one more day.”
Qian Feixu completely lost it. Her idol had been cucked. The bad woman who cucked her idol was flaunting it in front of her.
Not only that, but she also had to go home and be punished because of this bad woman.
Her life was simply a tragedy!
“I can’t live anymore! I might as well jump down and die!”
She pressed on the wooden railing in front of her and made a motion to jump.
But half over, she turned back to look at Hua Jian and the guards. “Aren’t you going to stop me?”
“If a Spirit Master like you can fall to death from this height, then you deserve it.” Hua Jian continued to roll her eyes.
“Don’t really think of yourself as an ordinary person. A Spirit Master’s body isn’t that fragile. This building is only so high, a Spirit Master falling would probably just hurt for a while. That’s right. So Qian Feixu’s action was no different from a child throwing a tantrum. It had no threat at all.”
“Go home and accept your punishment obediently, little sister.” Hua Jian beckoned to Qian Feixu with a finger, and the girl flew from the balcony back into the circle of guards.
Qian Feixu struggled to hold back the tears falling, and bared her teeth fiercely at Hua Jian.
“You wait. I will make you, bad woman, know your mistake!”
“Okay, I’ll be waiting~”
Hua Jian was very amused. This kind of threat had no intimidation at all.
“Alright, I’ll head back first too…”
She waved her hand, and was about to leave when a snow-white figure suddenly rushed in from outside, diving straight at Hua Jian.
Hua Jian was first startled, instinctively about to use her Spiritual Power to counter, but after seeing the true face of the white figure, she forcefully suppressed the restless energy inside her.
Her outstretched hands turned into a hug, catching the little white cat that flew towards her and holding it in her arms.
“Meow meow meow!”
The little spirit cat affectionately rubbed against Hua Jian’s cheek, continuously meowing.
This scene stunned everyone present. This little cat was a Shuanghua Lingmao! How could it be so friendly to people?
And the person who walked in afterwards made them show expressions of disbelief.
“Little Sister Hua, look who I brought~”
