“I can’t take it anymore, Disciple. I order you to quickly find a way to chase this woman away!”
Xiu Qingcheng was truly furious this time.
She had originally intended to use this Spring Market to once again showcase her knowledgeable side as a master, making Meng Yingxing admire her endlessly again.
But now it was great; a lingering spirit like Nan Feixue had appeared, playing some unknown game and snatching up all the good things to shove in Meng Yingxing’s face before she could!
Even though Xiu Qingcheng knew Meng Yingxing wouldn’t be swayed by this, she inevitably felt that her limelight had been stolen by this improper woman!
If not for Nan Feixue following too closely, fearing she would see her transform from sword to human, Xiu Qingcheng would have already prepared to transform and pull Nan Feixue’s hair.
“How about it, Brother Meng? Big Sister still has quite the sharp eye, right?”
Nan Feixue looked at Meng Yingxing with a beaming smile, raising her eyebrows and unreservedly claiming credit from him.
“But these are all just small trinkets I don’t really care for. If Brother Meng willingly returns to the Ultimate Desire Sect with Big Sister, Big Sister has many more magical treasures for you to use.”
“At that time, Big Sister will also teach you some comfortable and useful dual cultivation techniques, guaranteeing your cultivation realm will shoot up with a ‘whoosh’!”
Nan Feixue not only wanted to soften the tough nut but also offered a good temptation.
Meng Yingxing glanced at Nan Feixue, put all the bought items into his Qiankun Bag, and then walked silently towards the exit of the Spring Market.
Nan Feixue didn’t think much of it and immediately followed in Meng Yingxing’s footsteps.
She was now fully committed to sticking to him like plaster; wherever Meng Yingxing went, she would go.
After following Meng Yingxing for a few miles, Nan Feixue realized they were getting farther and farther away from human habitation, and the trees on both sides of the road were gradually increasing.
“Hehehehe”
Nan Feixue suddenly laughed charmingly, pretending to be coy as she said:
“Brother Meng, could it be you like doing it outdoors? It’s not like Big Sister can’t accept that~”
“Why haven’t I seen that person from the Qingling Sect chasing you today?”
Meng Yingxing didn’t entertain Nan Feixue’s fantasies, but he rarely took the initiative to chat with her.
Seeing that Meng Yingxing was actually willing to initiate conversation with her, Nan Feixue thought her temptation was working.
“That little girl? I also cast ‘Dream of a Spring Night’ on her. Who knows where she’s hiding right now, enjoying a wonderful dream?”
Mentioning “Dream of a Spring Night,” Nan Feixue couldn’t help but take an extra glance at Meng Yingxing.
So… had Meng Yingxing fallen for her “Dream of a Spring Night” or not?
Hearing the words “wonderful dream,” in a place Nan Feixue couldn’t see, Meng Yingxing’s eyebrows twitched forcefully.
That unspeakable dream… perhaps it really was wonderful.
Meng Yingxing suddenly stopped in his tracks.
A cold light flashed abruptly in Nan Feixue’s eyes.
Startled in her heart, she bent backward with extremely exaggerated flexibility, letting the cold light fly dangerously past, grazing her skin.
That incredibly cold light came from the edge of the Ting Tian Sword thrown by Meng Yingxing. If not for Nan Feixue’s quick reaction, it would likely have left a bloody mark on her snow-white skin.
“You!?”
Nan Feixue straightened up, her expression changing, but she could no longer see Meng Yingxing’s shadow in front of her.
He actually took advantage of that split second to escape?
How interesting!
Nan Feixue’s eyes flickered.
She had never let a man she set her sights on slip away from her hands!
“Brother Meng… it seems you don’t know yet. Big Sister, ah, is best at chasing people.”
“You chase, I chase… If I catch you, you’ll let me…”
Nan Feixue narrowed her eyes, gazing into the distance in the direction Meng Yingxing had fled.
“Master, is she chasing us?”
Meng Yingxing’s escape this time could be said to have used all his skills.
Since Nan Feixue wouldn’t leave, if she wouldn’t go, couldn’t they just run?
“No!”
Xiu Qingcheng sensed the distance she could perceive and didn’t feel any spiritual power feedback from Nan Feixue.
“Very good! We shook her off!”
“The most dangerous place is the safest place. Next, let’s return to the Spring Market and browse a bit longer!”
“Tonight, let’s not go back to the inn; she’s definitely waiting there like a hunter guarding a tree stump for a rabbit! We’ll go to Fengyu City overnight to find your Eldest Senior Brother! Even if she chases us then, your Eldest Senior Brother will help you settle it!”
“Master is wise!”
Xiu Qingcheng’s thinking was very idealistic.
However, reality gave Xiu Qingcheng a harsh slap in the face.
Just as she and Meng Yingxing returned to the Spring Market in Zhongyang Town, they immediately saw Nan Feixue, who had been waiting there for who knows how long.
Xiu Qingcheng was greatly shocked; this woman had actually anticipated her anticipation!?
Nan Feixue also saw them immediately, waving nonchalantly at Meng Yingxing and mouthing words to him from a distance.
“Found you, hmm?”
Xiu Qingcheng’s face turned completely cold.
She really didn’t know why this woman, Nan Feixue, was so persistent.
She wasn’t as good-looking as her, nor as strong as her. Where did she get the nerve to covet her disciple?
Seeing Meng Yingxing stand there for a while and then uncharacteristically walk towards her, Nan Feixue couldn’t help but feel a bit surprised.
Nan Feixue had thought Meng Yingxing would turn and run immediately; she quite enjoyed playing cat and mouse.
Halfway there, Meng Yingxing suddenly turned into an alley entrance.
Caught off guard, Nan Feixue quickened her steps to follow and also entered the alley.
Nan Feixue saw Meng Yingxing standing alone in the alley, facing her.
Nan Feixue thought Meng Yingxing had thought it through and was giving up resistance.
After all, she was so beautiful, and dual cultivating with her was easy to handle; Meng Yingxing had no reason to refuse.
Looking at Meng Yingxing, Nan Feixue propped up her fragrant cheek for a moment, slowing her steps as she approached him.
Meng Yingxing’s crimson-gold eyes reflected a glaze-like brilliance in the dimly lit place, making Nan Feixue unconsciously entranced.
“Brother Meng, Big Sister had such a hard time chasing you~”
“But it’s fine now. Are you willing… to play with Big Sister?”
Nan Feixue stood before Meng Yingxing, her waist twisting slightly, like a snake choosing its prey.
Meng Yingxing stared tightly at Nan Feixue, pursing his lips.
Suddenly, a red and white figure descended from the sky, landing between Nan Feixue and Meng Yingxing.
Nan Feixue was startled, thinking it was some hidden move of Meng Yingxing’s, and retreated repeatedly.
Meng Yingxing, however, hurriedly extended his arms, catching the red and white figure in his embrace as if catching a precious treasure.
Even Meng Yingxing hadn’t expected that his Master, who had just hidden in sword form to transform into a human, was actually on the wall.
Now that Master had made her entrance in such an exaggerated manner, didn’t she consider that if he hadn’t caught her when she fell, the scene would have become very awkward?
Xiu Qingcheng landed in Meng Yingxing’s arms, feeling no shame and not getting down. Instead, she wrapped one arm around Meng Yingxing’s neck.
“Who is it?!”
Nan Feixue realized belatedly that a person had fallen down and asked with a frown.
“Oh my, Miss Nan Feixue, really thank you for taking care of our family’s Yingxing at the Spring Market just now. Unfortunately, our family’s Yingxing cannot accept your favor.”
Xiu Qingcheng let Meng Yingxing hold her just like that, lifting her face towards Nan Feixue, emphasizing the words “our family’s Yingxing” in her speech.
Xiu Qingcheng’s face bore a proud sharpness.
Scaring Nan Feixue away with threats was too boring.
She wanted to defeat Nan Feixue using what Nan Feixue was most proud of, letting her know that there are always people beyond people!
Coveting her, Xiu Qingcheng’s, disciple? Nan Feixue was not worthy!
Nan Feixue saw Xiu Qingcheng’s aggressively beautiful face, and even though she had always considered her own beauty unparalleled under heaven, she couldn’t suppress the look of awe that surfaced in her eyes.
And it was in that instant of seeing Xiu Qingcheng that Nan Feixue finally figured something out.
Meng Yingxing had indeed fallen for her “Dream of a Spring Night.”
But the object of the “Dream of a Spring Night” wasn’t her.
It was this young woman before her, who was more beautiful than her, beautiful enough to make heaven and earth topple.
