“So you are Junior Sister You Yuelan. I’ve heard of your reputation in the sect. Seeing you today, you really are impressive. Since you are Miss’s friend, you are my friend. If you need any help, feel free to ask.”
Dong Yuner said with a smile.
For some reason, Lin Huanhuan felt that smile was not simple, as if hiding a knife. She guessed inwardly:
‘Could it be that she sees You Yuelan is beautiful and worries I might do something with her, so she’s jealous?’
‘Her worry is not wrong, but I’m forced too. I have to sleep with You Yuelan tonight. I need to think of some way to fool Yuner.’
Lin Huanhuan was racking her brains for a strategy.
‘Already met? And she threatened me before? Now she’s pretending not to know? What the hell?’
‘She came without telling your Miss? Hmm, forget it. If I tell the truth, I feel like I’ll completely offend Dong Yuner. I’ll just go along with her act. I hope she keeps this matter hidden and stops threatening and making things difficult for me. It’s too troublesome.’
You Yuelan nodded, forcing a smile onto her face, and said:
“I’m very happy to meet you. I’ve also heard of your reputation in the sect. You really are very beautiful.”
Dong Yuner frowned slightly. She felt that the person in front of her was imitating her, but she had no evidence. Was this a provocation or what?
It was now dusk, and night was about to fall.
Dong Yuner looked at the sky and said:
“Miss and Junior Sister You Yuelan must be a bit hungry. I’ll go prepare some food now. Although it won’t be great, please don’t disdain it, Junior Sister You.”
“I won’t disdain it.” You Yuelan nodded, simple and concise.
Saying that, Dong Yuner pulled out a chair:
“Sit here for a while. I’ll go out and come back. Don’t wander around, or it’ll be hard to find you later.”
Watching Dong Yuner walk out, Lin Huanhuan casually pointed at the chair:
“Just sit and wait for now.”
She directly chased after her.
You Yuelan scratched her head, came to the oddly shaped chair, and sat down. Her face immediately showed a comfortable expression:
“This chair is so comfortable to sit on. It’s almost like lying down. I wonder how Lin Huanhuan made it. Looks like I can come here often to sit. If there’s still an ‘often’…”
“Yuner, wait, wait.”
Hearing the call from behind, Dong Yuner couldn’t help but stop and look back.
“Miss, why did you come? Is there something you need from me?”
“You Yuelan is here as a guest. Shouldn’t you be accompanying Junior Sister You? I’m about to cook now.”
Although Dong Yuner’s tone was calm and gentle, Lin Huanhuan still smelled a strong vinegar. She couldn’t help but smile wryly and said:
“No rush, no rush. She can stay there alone. Let me accompany you first. These days I’ve been cultivating nonstop and haven’t spent much time alone with you.”
“As for cooking, we can do it later. After all, we are both Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators. We don’t even need to eat; it’s just a habit.”
Hearing this, Dong Yuner’s calm face immediately showed joy:
“Since this is Miss’s request, I will naturally obey unconditionally.”
Walking through the bamboo grove, they chatted about many things, all interesting anecdotes from daily life. Lin Huanhuan even had time to crack many jokes, making Dong Yuner giggle nonstop.
Dong Yuner’s somewhat jealous mood finally improved a lot. She said half-jokingly:
“Miss, you specially came to please me today. Could there be some ulterior motive?”
Hearing this, Lin Huanhuan’s heart skipped a beat, and her expression stiffened for a moment.
‘Has Yuner discovered something?’
‘No, probably not. Forget it, I shouldn’t hide it anymore. Just tell the truth.’
Although her expression was subtle, how could Dong Yuner, who had all her attention on her, not notice? The mood that had just calmed down immediately plummeted to rock bottom, even worse than before, as if a vat of Shanxi mature vinegar had been poured into it.
Lin Huanhuan said:
“My main purpose is to accompany you. That small matter is just incidental. Even without it, I planned to accompany you. Don’t overthink it.”
Dong Yuner couldn’t help but lightly bite her thin lips, her cheeks slightly puffed, and her big watery eyes showed a honey-like grievance.
Seeing this, Lin Huanhuan also felt bad, feeling like she was becoming a heartless woman, but she had to steel herself and say:
“It’s just that I have something with You Yuelan. Actually, it’s not a big deal. Tonight I plan to study some new spells with her in the room. I won’t do anything extra.”
‘Indeed, no extra things. Just sleeping together in bed. That You Yuelan doesn’t have the ability to do anything to me. Except for some minor differences, everything else is the same. I shouldn’t be considered lying, right?’
Lin Huanhuan silently thought.
‘Study spells? What spells can she study with that lazy-to-death fox spirit? Could it be they’re going to study water magic together in the room? What is there that can’t be done in broad daylight that has to be hidden in a room?!’
Dong Yuner couldn’t help but smile bitterly in her heart:
‘Is Miss treating me like a fool? Or does she really have no other good way, so she can only hope I won’t notice?’
‘Damn it. If I expose it now, I’ll reveal that I know Miss’s secret actions, and I still don’t know her true purpose… Forget it, I’ve endured so much before. What’s one more time?’
After a fierce inner struggle, Dong Yuner finally forced a smile:
“Of course I trust Miss, but Miss should also understand that even if I trust you, I can’t help feeling jealous.”
“I understand.”
Lin Huanhuan gently hugged Dong Yuner, finally relieved.
“I understand. Jealousy is normal.”
After some effort, Lin Huanhuan finally coaxed Dong Yuner and then went back. But as soon as she entered, she was stunned by the white figure inside.
“The prize pool is still accumulating?”
