Join the ServerAfter seeing off their fathers, Su Liyue suddenly remembered the magic projection play they had agreed on, *The Brave and the Princess*.
She checked the time. The show was about to start.
“Qingqing, uh… Yunxin, let’s go watch *The Brave and the Princess* together?” Su Liyue was still unsure how to address Li Yunxin properly. Calling her ‘Xiaoxin’ would inevitably remind her of Crayon Shin-chan. And ‘Xinxin’ sounded too similar to Ye Xingchen’s ‘Xingxing’…
“Just call me Yunxin…” Li Yunxin smiled knowingly, clearly sensing Su Liyue’s dilemma.
As soon as Mu Wanqing heard about the magic projection play, her interest piqued. She happily slipped between the two, linking arms with each of them.
“Let’s go, let’s go! I’ve been wanting to see *The Brave and the Princess* forever!”
Caught off guard, both Su Liyue and Li Yunxin blushed. But faced with this innocent, enchanting otherworldly beauty, who could possibly refuse?
And so, the three charming girls walked arm in arm down the street, drawing admiring glances from passersby.
They quickly bought tickets and chose a central seat with a perfect view.
As they entered the theater, Su Liyue and Li Yunxin gasped in unison. The magic projection theater was astonishingly similar to a cinema back on Earth! Spacious tiered seating, a curved screen, even couple seats… No wonder the academy students always called it the ultimate date spot.
“I heard the magic images here are projected with high-definition projection magic—much clearer than regular magic images!” Mu Wanqing’s excitement was like a child entering a cinema for the first time.
High-definition uncensored projection? Both Su Liyue and Li Yunxin’s minds instantly loaded their own little theater.
“When it comes to HD uncensored, I only respect Yua Mikami!” Li Yunxin blurted out, then immediately clamped her hand over her mouth, her face turning crimson.
Su Liyue face-palmed beside her. Although similar thoughts had flashed through her own mind, at least she had the decency to keep them to herself. After all, every celestial maiden in the cultivation world possessed jade-like skin and ethereal beauty. When it came to HD uncensored… if the cultivation world’s Joyous Union Sect maidens ranked second, how could those mundane islanders rank first? No, no! She quickly shook her head to dispel that absurd notion.
“Yu… Yua? Is that a famous projection play?” Mu Wanqing tilted her head innocently.
“Yes, yes! It’s… that special HD positional action projection play, which can be very fast or very slow…” Li Yunxin quickly grabbed the lifeline.
Fast or slow? Do you take me for a child? Trying to fool my bestie like that? Su Liyue discreetly pinched Li Yunxin and shot her a warning glare. ‘Tone it down!’
“Sorry, sorry, I spoke without thinking…” Li Yunxin snuck a glance at Su Liyue, thinking: ‘This girl’s skin is too thin. Her eyes were wandering just now, she must have thought of something scandalous too. Maybe she’s also an experienced driver. I’ll have to find a chance to have a deeper exchange of artistic appreciation tips with her…’
As the magic projection play began, the entire theater gradually dimmed.
Mu Wanqing was completely absorbed in the story, her eyes fixed unblinkingly on the screen, occasionally letting out soft exclamations.
But Su Liyue and Li Yunxin, seated on either side, grew increasingly uncomfortable. They were like two slices of bread, with Mu Wanqing as the filling—a perfect teen-girl sandwich.
To make matters worse, looking around, aside from their odd trio, every other audience member was a lovey-dovey couple.
“Th-this seating arrangement…” Su Liyue glanced uneasily at the couples around her. Those clasped hands, those leaning shoulders—their trio stood out like a sore thumb.
Li Yunxin chuckled dryly and pretended to focus intently on the projection, but noticed a couple in front turning back to sneak peeks at them. They looked like some kind of otherworldly love battlefield!
The air seemed to carry a faint scent of lily flowers, making both girls fidget. Su Liyue nervously played with her hair, while Li Yunxin feigned intense interest in the armrest.
Only Mu Wanqing, sandwiched in the middle, remained oblivious. She occasionally leaned to either side: “Look! The brave is about to confess!” Her innocent eyes reflected the shimmering projection, completely unaware that her actions had frozen the girls on either side.
In the rainbow light refracted by the magic crystal, the three shadows on the wall overlapped into ambiguous silhouettes.
From somewhere in the back, a joker whistled, nearly prompting Li Yunxin to slap them.
Meanwhile, Su Liyue had already started silently reciting a Heart-Cleansing Mantra, her face flushed. ‘What the hell is with this awkward romantic atmosphere!’
