After a moment of silence, Dong Yuner spoke. “Let’s go outside to talk. Disturbing the young lady’s rest here would not be good.”
“Fine.”
Ye Jinxiu agreed readily. The two walked out of the room, gently closing the door behind them. When they reached the open space outside, the atmosphere immediately turned tense again.
“Hmph.”
Dong Yuner snorted and launched the first attack.
“Junior Sister Ye, shouldn’t you explain why you appeared here?”
“This is the young lady’s residence. Inside is her room. Yet you were there, naked with her, and she was unconscious.”
“Should I assume you used some method to trick the young lady into letting you in, then drugged her and did something worse than a beast would do?”
“Now answer me.”
She gave Ye Jinxiu no time to prepare. One question followed another, each sharper and more lethal than the last. A single careless step would mean falling straight into a trap and paying a painful price.
Dong Yuner thought to herself, ‘This Ye woman is truly hateful. She actually did something this outrageous. Even if it looks like they did not really go that far, I must bite down on this point and drive Ye Jinxiu away. Only then will things be safe.’
‘Otherwise, if this continues, the situation will eventually spiral completely out of control. When that happens, it will be real trouble.’
Hearing this, Ye Jinxiu narrowed her eyes. She clearly felt how tricky the situation was.
After everything she had been through, she had grown a lot. She was no longer the same person who would panic and rush to explain herself the moment trouble appeared.
Instead of answering immediately, Ye Jinxiu touched her chin and pondered.
‘Senior Sister Dong’s hostility toward me is pretty strong. Those few sentences were full of traps. Stepping into any one of them would cost me dearly.’
‘Honestly, all I did was plan to steal your young lady away and send you packing. Is it really necessary to react this strongly? What a narrow mind. When you captured me back then, I did not complain at all.’
‘No. I cannot follow Senior Sister Dong’s rhythm. If I do, I definitely will not win this argument. I need to take the initiative myself.’
After weighing it carefully, Ye Jinxiu revealed a bright smile.
“Senior Sister Dong asked so many questions at once that I am a little confused. Let me answer them one by one.”
Without the slightest blush or hesitation, Ye Jinxiu began lying smoothly.
“First, the reason I was here is of course because your young lady invited me. Otherwise how could I possibly get inside? Right?”
She deliberately paused.
Dong Yuner frowned slightly and thought, ‘That actually makes sense. But I happened to be in closed cultivation at the time. Otherwise I would know the details. Even if she is lying now, it would be hard for me to verify.’
Seeing Dong Yuner deep in thought, the smile on Ye Jinxiu’s face grew wider.
“Second, based on what I just said, what your young lady and I were doing is also easy to explain.”
“You guessed correctly. We did do it.”
As if recalling the moment, Ye Jinxiu’s face filled with intoxicated delight. It was as though she could still see that body that had stirred her heart, and still taste its sweetness.
“You probably do not know this, but your young lady’s lips are incredibly sweet. Just a touch of those crimson lips is enough to make anyone linger and never want to leave.”
“And that body, warm and smooth like fine jade, is even more enchanting. The feeling of touching it is impossible to describe. Especially when I explored her from head to toe and saw your young lady acting shy while stubbornly pretending otherwise. It made me very happy.”
“At that moment I was thinking, how could something so wonderful exist in this world? If your young lady had not been unable to endure it, I would have continued without stopping. Unfortunately, after the water in the bath rose a little too much, she could not handle it and fainted. Such a pity. Truly a pity.”
Buzz.
At that moment, Dong Yuner’s mind rang loudly. It was as though all color had drained from the world. She nearly collapsed to the ground, her face twisted in pain.
‘H how is this possible? What I said casually just now turned out to be true? How could this happen? How could this happen?’
‘According to her words, the young lady really did it with her. And now she is even bragging about it in front of me. How dare she? Where does she get the courage?’
In an instant, Dong Yuner’s eyes widened to the point of splitting. The anger in her chest reached its peak.
Across from her, Ye Jinxiu quietly watched, the corner of her lips lifting slightly. Her heart was full of satisfaction.
‘Just as I thought. She is furious. But anger will not help her. I already said it, so what can you do about it?’
‘Even though it is a lie, it is half true and half false. That kind of lie is the hardest to detect. Under normal circumstances Senior Sister Dong would definitely see through it, but things are different now.’
‘What you saw earlier already disturbed your mind. Then you rushed over to confront me and even said those things yourself. No matter what, you would already be shaken about that matter. Once I brought it up first, you would automatically believe it was real.’
‘Very good. This plan works perfectly.’
Thinking this, Ye Jinxiu felt as if even the air around her had become sweeter.
‘Senior Sister Dong, do not blame me. When it comes to love, it is not just about who arrived first. Otherwise no one else would ever have a chance. Whoever met first would win, right?’
‘As long as it stays within reasonable limits, even using a few unpleasant tricks is acceptable. In the end, as long as the person she belongs to is me, what does it have to do with you?’
“You…” Dong Yuner opened her mouth slightly. Her voice was hoarse, and her eyes were bloodshot as though she had not slept for two days and nights.
“Is everything you just said true? You are not lying to me?”
Ye Jinxiu nodded with a smile.
“Of course I am not lying. Why would I lie about something like that? There is no benefit.”
“Hahahahahaha!”
Dong Yuner covered her eyes with one hand and laughed toward the sky. Then she straightened her body. Her gaze shot toward Ye Jinxiu like a sword.
A slender sword appeared in her hand, wrapped in pale golden sword light.
“If that is the case, then you will die today. I will kill you.”
The calmest tone carried the purest killing intent. There was no emotion in it at all. Only the will to kill.
Ye Jinxiu’s expression turned serious, but she did not panic.
“Senior Sister Dong, before you make a move, you should think carefully about where we are. And what the consequences would be.”
Hearing this, Dong Yuner froze. After hesitating for a moment, though extremely unwilling, she finally put the sword away.
Her fists clenched tightly. Killing intent surged in her chest, yet she could do nothing.
Ye Jinxiu smiled faintly. Without violence, the situation was like sinking into a swamp.
‘Senior Sister Dong, in this state you are far too easy to deal with. Actually, I would not dare make a move either. If Huanhuan wakes up, everything I just said will fall apart.’
‘So I gambled that you would not dare to act. Looks like I won.’
