Chapter 19: The Perplexed Saintess and the Encroaching Elders

At this moment, Luo Bingli found herself utterly bewildered. She held a beautiful, alluring maiden in her arms.

She had clearly done what a ‘badass’ was supposed to do, yet why hadn’t the mission been completed? Was she truly expected to strip Bai Rusui’s skirt off in front of everyone, showcasing her own large, powerful hand, and then make Bai Rusui experience ecstasy publicly?

Was that even possible?

Not only was Luo Bingli fundamentally not a pervert, but even a true pervert wouldn’t want their woman performing a striptease and being exposed in front of everyone!

‘What? You’re saying there really are such perverts? Please, that’s not perversion; that’s a cuckold fetish, alright? I, Luo Bingli, am no cuckold.’

What was she to do? What was she to do? Was she genuinely supposed to strip Bai Rusui naked right here and engage in *that* in public?

No, absolutely not. Though Luo Bingli was forced to ‘conquer’ others, she herself had no desire to wear a cuckold’s hat or be ogled.

Could she use a spell to ensure only those few youngsters on the opposite side could see? That wouldn’t work either. Besides Ye Xiaozi, there were other people. Most importantly, Luo Bingli herself felt uneasy; she was disgusted by the idea.

Moreover, Luo Bingli had a distinct feeling that even if she truly did engage in a public debauchery with Bai Rusui, the system’s mission still wouldn’t be completed.

If this was the case, there could only be two possibilities. The first was a problem with the system itself—either it failed its judgment, or this damn system simply didn’t want her to complete the mission.

[Ding-dong, after a self-diagnostic check, the system has detected no issues. If the host continues to slander the system, the system will mutate into a Furball System, dedicated to cultivating the host into the best possible furball.]

Perhaps it was due to Luo Bingli’s constant questioning, but the system finally performed a self-check. However, it found no problems and instead threatened Luo Bingli.

Upon hearing this, Luo Bingli’s face darkened, but her thoughts shifted. If this situation arose, there could only be one possibility (the system truly had no problems): the issue lay with Ye Xiaozi. But what exactly was the problem?

Unfortunately, to this point, Luo Bingli had no idea who Ye Xiaozi was. After all, the previous Luo Bingli had thought that reaching this stage was enough and there was no need to know Ye Xiaozi’s identity.

However, she now realized her preparations had been insufficient.

‘Damn it, what should I do?’

Luo Bingli had not even considered that her target, Ye Xiaozi, was on the opposite side, enthusiastically shipping her and Bai Rusui. Ye Xiaozi had no thought of being ‘conquered,’ instead feeling incredibly excited.

Just at this crucial moment, as the music faded on stage, the dancer Su Mei concluded her performance.

Immediately, she flew over to Luo Bingli, using her cultivation to squeeze between the two women. She settled to Luo Bingli’s left, forming a famous pincer attack with Bai Rusui, who sat on the right.

As soon as she sat down, this renowned elder of the Hundred Flowers Palace nestled into Luo Bingli’s embrace. She wrapped her arm around Luo Bingli’s slender waist, pressed her cheek against Luo Bingli’s left cheek, and said playfully, “Oh, isn’t this Sister Bingli? Did you come here today to watch your elder sister dance? How was it? Did I dance beautifully?”

“Uh… well…” Luo Bingli blinked her beautiful eyes. To be honest, due to the system’s issues, she hadn’t watched the elder dance at all; her mind was entirely preoccupied with how to complete the system’s mission. However, this didn’t prevent Luo Bingli from offering praise. After a brief pause, Luo Bingli began to compliment her profusely, “Sister Su’s dance moves are truly like a spring breeze caressing willows, light and graceful; and like a babbling brook, nimble and natural. Every turn exudes endless elegance and charm; every leap embodies the power and passion of the dancer’s soul. *Cough, cough*… In short, the beauty of Sister Su’s dance is so captivating that…”

However, before Luo Bingli could finish her exaggerated praise, Bai Rusui immediately wrapped her arm around Luo Bingli’s neck and, with a forceful tug, pulled Luo Bingli into her own embrace. Luo Bingli’s face even made intimate contact with Bai Rusui’s chest. Then, Bai Rusui glared angrily at Su Mei, her tone filled with indignation. “Elder Su, the sect rules state that cultivators in the Soul Transformation stage are elders. For an elder like you to be so intimate with the Saintess, are you trying to seduce our Saintess? That’s against sect rules! Besides, how old are you already, yet you still want Sister Luo to call you ‘sister’? Aren’t you ashamed?”

Evidently, Bai Rusui, relying on her status, completely looked down on this Soul Transformation stage elder. Moreover, today was her date with Luo Bingli; what was an elder doing interfering?

“I don’t appreciate that, little sister. Although I’m already in the late Soul Transformation stage and a High God, I’m only ninety-eight years old this year—not yet a hundred. The cultivation world rules state that anyone under a hundred, even if they’ve reached the Soul Transformation stage, is still considered part of the younger generation. Your rejection wounds my heart, especially since I even held you when you were a child.”

As she spoke, Su Mei once again draped her delicate hand around Luo Bingli’s neck, pulling her directly into her embrace, causing Luo Bingli to experience what felt like a ‘facial wash’ for the second time that day. Su Mei smiled slightly at this, then continued, “Each generation’s Saintess of the Hundred Flowers Palace bears an important mission. You see, no Saintess hangs herself on a single tree. This is merely advanced training for the Saintess, so she can navigate the garden of flowers with ease in the future, just like the previous Saintess, Lady Ruyan. So, what are you getting jealous for, little girl? If all you do is get jealous, the Saintess might abandon you later on!”

“You… Su Mei, you damned hussy, let go of Sister Luo right now!” Seeing that she couldn’t win with words, Bai Rusui finally resorted to trying to snatch Luo Bingli away. As the daughter of the Hundred Flowers Palace Master, Bai Rusui naturally knew what the Hundred Flowers Palace Saintess truly entailed, but it was precisely because she knew that she couldn’t refute it. After all, this… was also a way of survival for the Hundred Flowers Palace.

“Wuwuwu… wuwuwu…” At this moment, Luo Bingli’s mind was a mess. The scent of milk frequently filled her nostrils—one familiar, one unfamiliar. Regardless, Luo Bingli genuinely admired them. Indeed, they were products of the Hundred Flowers Palace; their ‘scale’ was grander, and their ‘fragrance’ more captivating than the last. The phrase ‘a myriad of flowers gradually beguile the eye’ must have been coined for Luo Bingli’s current state.

For a time, Luo Bingli forgot about the system, forgot about being a ‘badass.’ She only felt that this ‘facial wash’ was truly exhilarating. She finally understood why, in the previous world, ‘facial wash’ was more expensive than soap, yet its sales were so much better.

It was simply because it was skin-friendly and soft.
