Chapter 73 - Is It Funny That the Reincarnated Senior Sister Is Also Being Pursued?

Ji Le Ming Fei grumbled as she frantically fled back to her hiding place. She had spent two years planning, thinking everything was ready, only to end up with this kind of outcome. Not only did she fail to win Bai Lian over, she didn't even get a chance to get close to her! Reflecting on the past, it felt like the heavens were against her. Everything was going wrong, leaving her feeling frustrated. She pushed the door open with anger and was greeted with the sight of Chun Hua, a celestial maiden she had placed by Tang Chu Huan's side half a year ago, dressed rather scantily and fawning at the bedside. "Up mistress... you've finally returned. This lady has suffered so much waiting for you." Chun Hua swayed her plump backside, her face filled with longing, her intentions clear. This was the pose she had learned to please her mistress during her years of service. Upon hearing that Tang Chu Huan was returning, she hastily put on more seductive attire and rushed to her mistress's bedroom to seek pleasure. However, Ji Le Ming Fei was thinking of something else as she watched Chun Hua's coquettish display. Chun Hua was supposed to be by Tang Chu Huan's side, so why was she here? Could it be that Tang Chu Huan had also come? She had never paid much attention to Tang Chu Huan, as she was just a lowly mortal. If it weren't for the last remnants of use in her plan, she'd have killed Tang Chu Huan long ago. But now that she was at a disadvantage, with both the Tai Xu Villa and the Temple of Joyful Delights destroyed, all she had left was Tang Chu Huan. However much she detested men, she had to bear with it. At least Tang Chu Huan didn't seem to be fond of women and had never paid her any attention. She didn't mind, as she was left in peace. However, why was Tang Chu Huan coming here? Perhaps seeing Ji Le Ming Fei's lack of reaction, Chun Hua seemed anxious. She wriggled her slender waist as she approached, leaning against Ji Le Ming Fei's chest and gently caressing her shoulder. "Mistress~ What are you thinking? Chun Hua wants it. Please, give it to me~" Ji Le Ming Fei frowned slightly, finding Chun Hua rather noisy. Among the celestial maidens, Chun Hua was one who suited her, obedient, intelligent, observant, and flirtatious. Under normal circumstances, she might have taken advantage and pinned Chun Hua to the bed. However, her mind was full of Bai Lian's otherworldly face and her... flat, fair abdomen. Unintentionally, she swallowed. To Chun Hua, her reaction seemed effective, inferring it as her own seduction. She became even more delighted and put in more effort. But her coquettish display, in front of Ji Le Ming Fei who had witnessed Bai Lian's beauty, only seemed repulsive. Ji Le Ming Fei knew that although Bai Lian seemed pure on the surface, she had a seductive charm deep down. The collision of these two contrasting qualities produced an unparalleled impact, making one unable to resist wanting to dominate her and see the usually aloof her tenderly seeking pleasure beneath oneself. In comparison to Bai Lian, Chun Hua, who once had a special place in her heart, was like a roadside weed, without even the qualification for her attention. Even the expression of seeking pleasure seemed contrived and greasy. The harder Chun Hua tried, the more Ji Le Ming Fei thought of Bai Lian, and the more frustrated she felt at her own failure. Gradually, impatience showed in her eyes and brow. But by then, Chun Hua was already lost in the throes of desire and couldn't perceive Ji Le Ming Fei's impatience. Wriggling in Ji Le Ming Fei's arms, she accidentally touched the wound on her shoulder. Ji Le Ming Fei winced, and her latent impatience erupted completely. "Tramp, get away from me!" She angrily exclaimed, landing a slap across Chun Hua's face. She was in a rage, and her strike was anything but gentle. A full-force strike from a Cloud-Soaring Realm practitioner was beyond what the Phoenix Realm cultivator Chun Hua could endure. Her body flew away like a spinning top, her joints shattering instantly. Yet even in death, she remained immersed in the anticipation of gaining her mistress's favor, a beguiling smile playing on her lips. After killing Chun Hua, Ji Le Ming Fei's pent-up resentment was finally vented. She indifferently wiped her hands and couldn't be bothered to even glance at the corpse, as if she had merely squashed an ant on the roadside. "Chun Hua was just seeking a moment of favor, if my mistress wasn't interested, she could have simply sent her away. Why resort to killing her?" Tang Chu Huan's voice suddenly came from outside the door. Ji Le Ming Fei narrowed her eyes slightly and said coldly, "She's a worthless wench. What use is there in finding a reason to kill her?" "Speaking of you, have you developed feelings after her long service by your side?" "I must congratulate you, after all, she has served many men, one more won't make a difference." ".." Tang Chu Huan sneered, "Truly befitting of a mistress, treating lives as if they were nothing. I admire that, Chu Huan bows." Ji Le Ming Fei's expression turned cold, "Tang Chu Huan, did you come here just to mock me?" "If you useless people hadn't been so incompetent, I wouldn't have had to go through all this trouble and still not be able to catch Bai Lian!" "Or do you think that you're safe now that those two have died, and I won't have the heart to kill you?" "You better understand your place, you're nothing more than a lowly mortal, not even worthy of a mere ant in my eyes!" Perhaps finding Ji Le Ming Fei's threat somewhat ridiculous, Tang Chu Huan laughed lightly. She seemed utterly unconcerned that Ji Le Ming Fei could easily crush her with a flick of a finger and said indifferently, "I have done what I needed to do, leading Bai Lian and Mu Jian Li into your trap. But you missed every opportunity, leading to this kind of ending. Do you even have the face to blame others?" "How dare you!" Ji Le Ming Fei turned around in anger, only to see Tang Chu Huan in a light blue dress. She was holding a pale pink booklet—none other than the Great Canon of Ji Le that Bai Lian had burned! She looked up at Ji Le Ming Fei, her face displaying shock and incomprehension, and disdainfully said, "Speaking of which... I should thank you, mistress." "If you hadn't stolen the Great Canon of Ji Le from the Esoteric Sect to win over Bai Lian, I wouldn't have gotten it that easily." "You..how could you.." Ji Le Ming Fei looked at the Great Canon of Ji Le in Tang Chu Huan's hands, her shock beyond words. "You're just a mortal." Suddenly, she seemed to realize something, and her face changed drastically, her pupils shrinking as she looked at Tang Chu Huan with a murderous intent. "No wonder. No wonder nothing has gone my way. No wonder my plans always went awry in inexplicable ways." "You, you dared to use me?!"
