149 - Stealing the Yuri Protagonist Harem

Author: Liang Liang Miao Miao Xiam "What are you laughing about?" "Ahem... It's nothing, just some amusing thoughts." The little girl adjusted her expression in response to the Demon Consort's question. "As expected, you've had quite a few interactions with him since that night..." The Demon Consort's gaze subtly darkened as she switched to telepathy: "With your level of celestial insight, you must have long seen many complexities on him. You were involved in the events at the inn yesterday... No, you orchestrated it, didn't you?" Yue Xuanji smiled without replying. "Forget it, I don't want to guess what you're thinking... However..." "The words you just spoke are somewhat contradictory to what you were doing inside." A dangerous smile appeared on the Demon Consort's face, and nine red silk ribbons floated behind her. The surrounding space began to crackle under the pressure, forming black fissures. "...At your age, shouldn't you act more mature?" Hearing this, the white-haired girl twitched her delicate features but maintained her smile: "Ah, speaking of age, if I remember correctly, isn't that stupid fox quite a bit older than the person inside? And at her age, she's harboring such feelings for a human boy..." Yue Xuanji's words were cut short this time. She had to dodge quickly, as two red ribbons lashed out. It couldn't be helped. As the Master of the Celestial Tower, she had few means for direct combat. Against the Demon Consort, who was slightly more powerful and skilled in fighting, she was certainly at a disadvantage. Fortunately, her teleportation skills were decent, though casting time was a bit tight, and given that the opponent was her "good sister," she was too familiar with Yue Xuanji's tactics... But this familiarity went both ways. As the little fox failed to strike Yue Xuanji once again, she didn't recall the red ribbons. Instead, the nine ribbons reached into the void, aiming to entangle the Celestial Tower Master. Her face darkened slightly. "I'm not like you... In the demon clan, the maturation period is long, and you know my special lineage..." "So, after all this time, you're still just a silly fox pretending to be mature!" Yue Xuanji maneuvered through the void, dodging the encroaching ribbons, her mouth never stopping. "...At least I'm better than you! Immature, pretending to be young, you old woman!" "Hmph!" "Hmph hmph!" If it weren't for the devastating power in their actions, it would be hard to believe it was a transformational battle they were witnessing. Thankfully, neither had completely lost their senses, remembering to shield their conversations from the demon crowd below... Just then, Yue Xuanji's eyes gleamed amidst her evasion. Her voice echoed again. "Hmph! What Demon Consort or leader of the demon clan, your supposed maturity is just an act... In reality, you're just a stupid fox too scared to even peck the lips of the one you like!" "Who... Who said I dare not? If you, that old woman, hadn't suddenly appeared, I would have long since..." "Long since what? Could you have done more than just peck lips?" "Of course... You!" Due to momentary agitation, the Demon Consort gave Yue Xuanji enough space to escape the ribbons. The white-haired girl's face revealed an amused smile, and her figure became illusory. She hadn't come unprepared to face her "good sister." "Mm~ 'Of course,' indeed~" In Yue Xuanji's playful voice, the nine red ribbons instantly reacted, wrapping toward the spot where the white-haired girl had been, but they grasped only emptiness. The petite figure completely vanished. Those skilled in the knowledge of celestial phenomena are never short of preparation. "Tsk, that old woman had prepared her Xuanji Art all along... She recked that I wouldn't chase her in my current state?" The Demon Consort clicked her tongue, and the nine red ribbons disappeared. Reflecting on her sister's mocking expression before she left, and her final cryptic words still echoing, a hint of discomfort flashed across the Demon Consort's face. What was that woman's intention? Did she come all this way just to provoke her, then depart after claiming the first kiss? It was hard not to believe she came specifically to rile her up... Yet, this was not the first time the old woman had attempted to unsettle her, but the previous incidents never went to such lengths... (She's become more unpredictable than before...) Especially those last words, so ambiguous! And yet, she was spot-on... If it weren't for her minor apprehensions, she wouldn't have positioned herself differently when facing her young lord, nor would she have asked him to close his eyes. Nor would she have been one step behind due to hesitation! Realizing this, the Demon Consort breathed a bit faster, her chest slightly heaving, a faint blush appearing on her charming face. What she intended to do in the cave was precisely what Yue Xuanji had just done. She even went so far as to find numerous reasons to steady her mind. But now... Ha, it's all futile. Not only had the boy in the cave fully recovered, but he also regained his mental clarity, while her own emotions were thrown off balance by Yue Xuanji's emergence and verbal onslaught. To return now, the meaning would be worlds apart from the outset. The Demon Consort looked towards the cave, biting her red lips, her body involuntarily retreating half a step, but before that step landed, she shifted forward instead. A mischievous image of the white-haired girl appeared in her mind. Biting down in determination, the little fox vanished as well. Throughout this process, she didn't glance at her demon subordinates below but left them with a lingering message. "...Wait a little longer!" ………… The demon crowd witnessing the transformational battle appeared dazed. Just now, the one flying out from the cave... was she also transformational? But wasn't the only one who entered that cave the Demon Consort and the Demonic Sect's Holy Son? Who was that white-haired human transformational, and where did she come from? Their thoughts were a jumble, but a voice cleared their confusion. "The one you saw... She's the Tower Master of the Celestial Tower, Yue Xuanji." Little Gui wore an odd expression: "Sister Consort mentioned she was an old friend... perhaps..." The demons paused, and several elders displayed expressions of sudden realization. Yue Xuanji's reputation was significant. Although few have seen her face, as the Celestial Tower Master, her celestial techniques are widely known, even among demons. When she assisted in subduing their Demon Consort, many were surprised by her involvement... Initially thinking it was a negotiated deal with the Consort, but now they wondered if the two might share a long-standing friendship? Yet, recalling their Consort's ruthless attack, the elders fell into contemplation. Should they assume the friendship was genuine? "Did you and Elder Ape know long ago, Little Gui? No wonder Elder Ape merely watched and didn't intervene... It turns out it wasn't because he feared the repercussions of an ailment." Covered in yellow dust, a demon elder rose from the ground, contemplating. Elder Ape glanced at his hands, then at the demon whose mouth should be sealed. Hmm, if he slapped the freshly risen guy back down, he'd be buried for good. Elsewhere, a question arose. "But why did Master Yue come from there? And why did she clash with the Consort? Plus, before she blocked us out, what were those exchanges..." It was the first time they witnessed the Consort lose composure like that, usually so dignified and managing the clan meticulously. Old woman, stupid fox, and the mention of 'him'... The demons grasped at key phrases. Then Little Tree Demon softly interjected, "Perhaps the Celestial Tower's Master Yue shares an interest in the Demonic Sect's Holy Son." Little Gui remembered Yue Xuanji's unexpected appearance at the inn yesterday. As the words spread, a loud clang resonated in the heads of the elder demons, and they turned towards the cave's barrier entrance, expressions filled with disbelief. Because Little Tree Demon's implication was that the contention between the Consort and Yue Xuanji... might involve the Demonic Sect's Holy Son who hadn't emerged from the cave! "He... he's just a minor Golden Core human, what merits..." "If that's truly the case, and the Consort also has feelings... Ha, haha, two transformationals... two transformationals... hahahahaha..." "I want to learn this too! If I could capture the attention of a female transformational demon here in the land of demons, I'd never have to work hard again!" Amid the chaotic chatter, a sigh imbued with complex emotions was heard. "The Consort has returned to the cave once more..." The breath of the surrounding demons caught. Just wait a little while longer... what will happen in that short time? ………… Inside the cave. Luo Wusheng was still in a bit of a daze, his two fingers resting on his lips. He hadn’t figured out the situation entirely. What was the Demon Consort planning to do, and what was Yue Xuanji's sudden appearance about... Just as the white-haired girl was flying out of the cave, she had discreetly left him a few whispered messages. [How does it feel? You got lucky again this time~ It's strange because I’m supposed to be the creditor here...] [Forget it... I know after what happened yesterday, you must have many questions for me... but it's not yet the right time. I’ll tell you someday.] [As for now... I doubt you'd want to discuss these matters at a time like this, right?] Recalling those words, Luo Wusheng's expression grew complex. Something felt off. Even though the girl had offered her lips for the recent act, Luo Wusheng struggled to fathom her intentions. Saying that the white-haired girl approached him out of affection seemed implausible, given their scarce interactions... As he pondered, a voice suddenly pierced his thoughts. “...Still thinking about that woman's taste?” Luo Wusheng shuddered, slowly lifting his gaze. The Demon Consort was staring at him with those inscrutable demon eyes, calmly observing him as he pressed his fingers to his lips in contemplation.
