Chapter 18: Unexpected Confessions

“Luo… Luo Sister?”

“As Snow? Do you know? From the moment I first saw you, I had already decided in my heart that you were my woman.” Luo Bingli gazed deeply into Bai Rusui’s eyes, speaking with profound emotion.

“Eh!” Bai Rusui was taken aback, her eyes welling up with a hint of doubt. Her gaze wandered uncertainly: “Re… really?” After all, Luo Bingli had always been incredibly aloof, as if no one mattered to her. Her very name, Luo Bingli, signified this—like a piece of jade, hard and cold, freezing to the touch.

Was Luo Sister truly thinking this way?

“Of course it’s true. Your alluring charm has been captivating and teasing me, making me want to press you down on the bed at any moment. But… at that time, my cultivation was a whole realm lower than yours, so it was just a fantasy! Now, that fantasy has become a reality.” Luo Bingli took Bai Rusui’s hand and gently kissed it.

In an instant, Bai Rusui’s cheeks flushed red: “Luo… Luo Sister. What are you saying in public!”

Luo Bingli rolled her eyes internally, thinking, “It’s precisely because we’re in public that I need to do this; otherwise, how can I report it to the system?”

However, after waiting for a while, Luo Bingli realized that the system had not sent a notification that the task was complete. She hurriedly inquired: “System, system, I’ve completed the task! Where’s my reward! Where’s my reward!”

“Ding dong, system detecting. Ding dong, after detection, Ye Xiaozi has no feeling of being ‘cowed,’ please host persist.”

“What? She doesn’t feel it?”

“Luo Sister, what doesn’t feel it?”

Luo Bingli quickly closed her mouth, having been so frustrated by the system that she yelled it out. She waved her hand dismissively: “N… nothing. I meant, you never felt my possessiveness.”

“You’re so mean!” Bai Rusui blushed again.

Seeing this, Luo Bingli pondered. According to the system, holding hands seemed to have no effect on Ye Xiaozi.

Suddenly, Luo Bingli understood. She had been so careless. In the Hundred Flowers Palace, everyone was a girl. Holding hands or going out together was so common that it meant nothing.

Even in my previous life, if two guys held hands, people might think they were gay. But if two girls held hands, everyone would just assume they were close friends, not lovers. It’s the same in this world. Ye Xiaozi probably thinks we’re just good friends and doesn’t realize I’m ‘cowing’ her.” Luo Bingli finally had an epiphany.

Now, since holding hands and hugging weren’t effective, there was only one option left—kissing.

Thinking this, Luo Bingli reached out with her right hand, cupping Bai Rusui’s cheek, and slowly lifted her face. Gazing at Bai Rusui’s rosy cheeks and fiery red lips, Luo Bingli took a deep breath, prepared herself, and leaned in for a kiss.

“Mmm… Luo Sister…” Bai Rusui’s eyes misted over, and she instinctively responded to Luo Bingli.

Luo Bingli, encouraged by Bai Rusui’s response, kissed her even more passionately.

For a moment, they were lost in their own world, oblivious to everything else.

…

Since Luo Bingli chose the highest seat, and the performance on stage was by the renowned elder of the Hundred Flowers Palace, no one noticed them except for the table reminded by Wang Qiu’er.

At that moment, the girls watching the intensely kissing couple, especially those who had received gifts from Bai Rusui, let out heartbroken sighs: “Waaah… White Senior Sister, even though Saint Lady is beautiful, why did you fall so quickly! I still wanted spiritual stones, and I planned to marry you in the future!”

“Waaah, White Senior Sister is no longer pure.”

“It’s okay, if one day White Senior Sister is abandoned by Saint Lady, even if White Senior Sister is no longer pure, I won’t mind.”

“Now that I think about it, that’s true. I… I’m not good enough to compare with Saint Lady, damn it! Ever since I saw Saint Lady, I feel my heart drifting away from White Senior Sister towards Saint Lady.”

“Hmph! It’s just that White Senior Sister gave you things! She’s generous, not because she likes you! You’re thinking too highly of yourselves.”

“Exactly, exactly.”

“But I really want to kiss them, whoever it is, I’m willing to offer my first kiss.”

“You’re dreaming! If there was a chance, couldn’t you enjoy both Saint Lady and White Senior Sister? You’re so shameless. Normal people wouldn’t even dare to dream of that.”

“Exactly, exactly!”

The girls watched enviously, imagining themselves replacing Saint Lady or White Senior Sister.

Alas, such thoughts were just dreams and could never come true.

Looking at Ye Xiaozi, she had both hands over her face, but her fingers were spread wide, offering no obstruction. As she watched, her cheeks reddened, and her mind seemed to wander. She even drooled a bit.

“Hehehe…” Suddenly, Ye Xiaozi laughed foolishly. Those around her moved away, thinking she was overwhelmed and had lost her mind. No one wanted to be infected.

Ye Xiaozi didn’t notice that Wang Qiu’er was watching her intently, her eyes filled with a strange expression. After a moment, Wang Qiu’er’s gaze became thoughtful!

…

After a long time, their lips finally parted.

Perhaps because of the intensity and depth of their emotions, Bai Rusui’s cheeks were flushed, and she leaned her face against Luo Bingli’s chest, feeling the softness and whiteness of her skin. For a moment, she didn’t want to let go.

This caused some of her drool to wet Luo Bingli’s chest.

At that moment, Luo Bingli didn’t care. She hurriedly asked the system: “System, system, I kissed her! Is the task complete? Where’s my reward! Where’s my reward!”

“Ding dong, system detecting. Ding dong, after detection, Ye Xiaozi has no feeling of being ‘cowed,’ please host persist.”

“What’s going on?” Luo Bingli’s once-flushed cheeks turned icy. The other person still didn’t feel it. What did this mean?

Could it be that in her eyes, even girls kissing and using their tongues was just a friendly gesture? That’s impossible, right?
