Yinyun Spring.
Aililan suddenly panicked.
She swore that she liked girls, but she would never fall for a scumbag, let alone a bad woman like Fina Nisi, who toyed with people’s feelings and would turn around to fall into the arms of another woman in the blink of an eye.
“Fina Nisi!” Aililan bit down lightly on her pearly teeth, as if she wanted to bite this yellow-haired fiend to death.
“Mhm, my adorable Saintess, what’s wrong?” Fina Nisi breathed in the fragrance of Aililan’s hair, her expression intoxicated.
“Why are you here?” Aililan questioned.
“Why am I here? That’s what I wanted to ask you, Saintess! I just happened to stumble upon this hot spring, and to think you’d be here as well, what a coincidence!”
“Stumbled upon it? Coincidence? Heh.”
“My dear Saintess, I swear this is pure coincidence. In your eyes, am I really such a despicable person?”
“Who knows?” Aililan took a step forward, trying to escape their dangerous position.
In the next instant.
She suddenly felt as if something tripped her feet, and her whole body plunged into the water again.
And falling in with her, was that terrifying Feng Aotian yellow-haired woman.
“Mm~”
‘Glug, glug~’
Aililan choked on water.
She felt like she was about to suffocate, a fear of drowning spreading within her.
She even saw that Feng Aotian yellow-hair, holding her tightly, eyes gleaming with a teasing look as she stared at Aililan.
So suffocating.
So uncomfortable.
So… frightening.
Fina Nisi had already moved close to Aililan’s lips, seemingly wanting to breathe air into her to keep her alive.
“Bastard!”
“Even if I die today, I’ll never let this Feng Aotian yellow-hair have her way.”
At the same time, she was gambling.
Gambling that Fina Nisi wouldn’t dare let her die here, or else she wouldn’t be able to bear the responsibility.
Also betting that Fina Nisi wouldn’t let her prey just die like this.
Aililan clenched her teeth, causing Fina Nisi to pause in confusion. Even though she had gotten close to Aililan’s lips, she couldn’t succeed.
One second, two seconds.
Fina Nisi’s expression gradually turned awkward. Why? Why would this Saintess rather die than accept her goodwill?
She genuinely just wanted to ‘save her’, but Aililan resisted her so much.
A moment later.
Fina Nisi pulled Aililan out of the water.
“Cough, cough~”
“Cough—”
Aililan gasped for air, pressing her chest for a while before she could finally breathe, then immediately backed several steps away from Fina Nisi.
“Aililan Saintess, are you all right?” Fina Nisi asked, showing a face full of concern.
“I’m—of course—fine!” Aililan gritted her teeth.
If there were a game interface right now, then because of Fina Nisi’s actions, Aililan’s favorability toward her would have dropped by a huge margin.
The atmosphere seemed… tense?
Aililan was wary, while Fina Nisi was regretful that all her meticulous plans had come to nothing.
In the end, it was Fina Nisi who broke the silence: “Aililan Saintess, you really are careless!”
Aililan took a deep breath and forced a smile: “Yes, I was really careless today. I must ‘thank’ you, Grandmaster.”
After a while.
Fina Nisi suddenly rose from the spring.
Under the moonlight, her impressive figure was on full display. Her wet blue hair draped over her chest, yet could not hide her generous bosom. Above the tear-shaped mole, her wild golden eyes, filled with an invasive allure, seemed to be deep in thought.
Fina Nisi’s crimson lips curled in a faint smile as she suddenly asked, “Aililan, do you think I’m beautiful?”
Aililan: ?
A second ago, she’d almost died.
Now you’re asking if you’re beautiful?
Aililan took a deep breath and replied, “Of course, Grandmaster Fina Nisi, you are beautiful.”
“Then, Saintess, you…”
“Fina Nisi, I still have things to do. Let’s end things here for today!”
Aililan directly cut off Fina Nisi’s attempt at seduction; right now, she only wanted to leave as quickly as possible—every extra second was an act of betrayal against herself.
Fina Nisi couldn’t help but frown. She had painstakingly arranged this hot spring encounter, even changed the route for it.
She didn’t expect to win over Aililan right away, but the ‘result’ she wanted was still far from reached.
But she couldn’t find any more excuses to make Aililan stay, and could only softly ask, “Your Highness Saintess, are you really not going to stay a bit longer? If it was my rudeness earlier that bothered you, I can keep my distance. What do you think?”
Aililan simply replied, “The reason I’m leaving has nothing to do with you.”
Fina Nisi’s eyes suddenly turned sharp. Who could explain, just what the hell did “nothing to do with you” mean?
She’d rather Aililan curse at her, or even show disgust, than see Aililan act as if Fina Nisi was nothing more than an insignificant passerby.
As Aililan was about to get up from the spring, as if recalling something, she suddenly chanted softly, “Holy Light, appear!”
A curtain of light enveloped Aililan, covering her chest and all the unspeakable, unseen, unutterably sacred places.
Only then did she stand up, unhurried.
Holy Light was truly so useful!
From behind, an agitated voice rang out: “Aililan Saintess, are you guarding yourself against me? What do you take me for? I know your body is noble and sacred, perhaps no one in this world is allowed to see it, right?”
Aililan stood by the shore, holding her clothes in front of her chest to block her graceful curves. She quickly got dressed and said, “Grandmaster Fina Nisi, you’re mistaken. My body is indeed sacred and noble, but I don’t agree with your words.”
“Because.”
“The gods can see.”
“My Seven Virtues Saints sisters can see too.”
“……”
So, who exactly can’t see? That’s a tough one to guess!
Honestly, Aililan felt she was dangerously close to courting death, but seeing Fina Nisi’s expression as if she’d swallowed a fly, she knew her words had hit the mark.
Aililan soon left.
Leaving behind Fina Nisi, her expression shifting between gloom and fury, fists clenched tight as she pounded the water’s surface. Her overwhelming power made the entire spring tremble violently.
“Damn it!”
“Damn it!”
“Damn Holy Light, and damn Aililan! One day, I’ll pull you, that girl on the clouds, down.”
“The purer and more sacred you are, the more I want to see you writhing beneath me, sobbing and begging for mercy.”
Fina Nisi’s mood was utterly ruined, especially by that line of Aililan’s: her pure, noble body could be seen by the gods, could be seen by her Seven Virtues Saints sisters, but Fina Nisi alone was not allowed to see it.
That really broke her defenses!
