Chapter 177

Teacher Bai, what has happened? Teacher Bai has no idea. But looking at Mu Xing He, whose condition was obviously not right in front of her, Bai Lian's sense of crisis, which had been trying to save her since she was a child, finally burst out at this moment. She turned and ran. Unfortunately, she was now short-armed and short-legged, and still within the formation set up by Mu Xing He. Every move of hers couldn't escape Mu Xing He's eyes, let alone escape. At the moment she turned around, Mu Xing He grabbed her wrist directly, then backed her against the wall with his elbow, pressing her hard against it. Caught off guard, she seemed to be slammed against the wall and couldn't help but let out a painful groan. "Xing..." However, Mu Xing He did not let her go because of her painful groan. Her wrist was firmly gripped by Mu Xing He and lifted above her. Mu Xing He's other hand was not idle either. The unique skill of the Tian Shu Shen Que was displayed to the extreme at this moment. With just a few presses, it completely sealed off her meridians, making her spiritual power unable to operate in a short time, completely losing the ability to resist. This whole process took less than a moment, so smooth that even Bai Lian herself did not react smoothly, and it was maddeningly seamless. And because Mu Xing He's almost coercive grip did not consider her feelings at all, she had to spread her legs and bend her waist just to barely keep from slipping down. But because of this, her current posture seemed particularly lewd and shameful, and the huge sense of shame it produced instantly shattered her defenses. Under the dual effect of pain and shame, a mist clouded her eyes involuntarily. She gritted her teeth, endured the grievances in her heart, and desperately twisted her body, trying to break free from Mu Xing He's restraint. "Sister Mu, what are you doing?" "What's wrong with you? Can't you explain clearly if something is bothering you?" "We are both disciples of a reputable sect. Our behavior outside represents the honor of our sect. Aren't you afraid of disgracing the sect by doing something like this in this place?" "And aren't we friends?" "Friends?" Mu Xing He's low voice came from beside her. "Heh, indeed, I am just a friend of Teacher Bai, no different from other friends of Teacher Bai." Perhaps because the two were too close, Bai Lian could clearly feel the warm breath that Mu Xing He kept brushing against her ears and neck, creating a strong tingling feeling throughout her body, making her tremble and her legs weak. Her current posture was already awkward, and if this continued, she might not even have the strength to stand. "How...how could you think like that? You are my special friend, I will never leave you no matter what!" she hurriedly explained. "Then why did Teacher Bai just run away?" "Teacher Bai is clearly afraid of me. Are you so unwilling to stay by my side?" Mu Xing He's questioning at Bai Lian's ear made her want to cry. My dear sister, can I not be afraid of you? Your expression just now felt like you were about to eat me! But she dared not say so, alas! "Sister Mu, calm down." She struggled, and said in a difficult tone, "Would you let go of me first, and we can discuss this at home?" At this moment, Mu Xing He was holding Bai Lian tightly, so when Bai Lian struggled, she could clearly feel the amazing softness. This inadvertent teasing was evidently more tempting. Her breathing gradually became heavier, her eyes even deeper, and even her thoughts in her mind became confused. Sensing the desire in her heart, her eyelids drooped, staring at Bai Lian's delicate back, and said softly. "Sister Bai, do you know, sometimes I feel that you are a very wanton person." "Others think you are an unapproachable beauty, but I know that you are not the high mountain flower in their mouths, but a warm jade in the room." "Anyone who enters your room can get your warmth." What kind of weird analogy is this? A fantasy version of central heating system? Bai Lian retorted through gritted teeth, "I'm not, I'm not like that!" "Not like that?" Mu Xing He's voice suddenly raised, "Why not?" "You clearly treat everyone so gently; Gu Qing Qing, Mu Jianli, Jiang Miao, Xiao Wei Yang." "I am just one of those you are gentle to, no different at all, so I can be the object of your gentleness and can be discarded by you at will!" "Did I say something wrong?!” Mu Xing He's words made Bai Lian's pupils shrink, and even her struggling stopped. Why did Mu Xing He mention Teacher Bai and Jianli? Obviously, she had been in contact with Wei Yang, Bao Qin, and Xiao Cheng Yin more recently. Even if Mu Xing He wanted to question her, she should have mentioned them instead. Obviously, Mu Xing He's questioning target was not only "Bai Lian"! Thinking of this, her breathing became erratic, and a frightening thought emerged in her mind. Could it be that Mu Xing He already knew that she was Bai Lian? No, that's not right... If Mu Xing He knew she was Bai Lian, he wouldn't have just pinned her against the wall. Damn, what should I do now... Perhaps feeling the helplessness of being suppressed in the corner or the frustration and embarrassment after being exposed by Mu Xing He, a sudden restlessness surfaced in her heart. So she gritted her teeth and said sternly, "Mu Xing He, calm down!" "My temper is relatively mild, but that's not a reason for you to tarnish me recklessly!" "Moreover, what does it have to do with you if I'm a warm jade?" "We are not a couple and even less than lovers. Please restrain yourself.... Ugh!" Before Bai Lian could finish her harsh words, she was stunned to see Mu Xing He forcefully grab her chin and kiss her. Mu Xing He's lips were a bit thin, with a cool touch that made people feel comfortable. But at this moment, her mind felt like it had been bombed. The bomb exploded, completely destroying all her emotions and thoughts, leaving her mind completely blank. She looked blankly at Mu Xing He's face, which was so close. She had thought that Mu Xing He might question her, tease her, or even alienate her out of jealousy, but she had not expected Mu Xing He to kiss her directly. Because this was not something typical of "Mu Xing He." In the game, Mu Xing He was indeed very sly and enjoyed teasing her for entertainment. But ultimately, Mu Xing He was a proper disciple of the Tian Shu Shen Que, accepting the most orthodox Taoist ideological education, and was incapable of taking advantage of someone in crisis. So when Mu Xing He sealed off her charm and made her take off her clothes without doing anything extra, although she was a little stunned, she didn't find it too surprising. Because Mu Xing He was someone like that, even though she had been hurt by her in the past, no matter how much she had experienced in her past life, she adhered to her principles and never changed. During the time she got along with the reborn Mu Xing He, she became even more certain of her thoughts. Even until just now, she did not think that Mu Xing He would do anything excessive to her. But she was wrong, her dear sister had indeed changed... It shouldn't be like this, why...has it come to this? Her thoughts were abruptly interrupted by the rough kiss, and Bai Lian had completely lost the strength to support her body, slipping down involuntarily. Seeing this, Mu Xing He immediately let go of Bai Lian's wrist which she was watching and instead hugged her waist, preventing her from slipping. Then, she briefly left Bai Lian's lips, turned her over by pressing against her waist, and then pressed her against the wall again. Forced to flip like a salted fish, Bai Lian raised her head in bewilderment. But Mu Xing He bent down, and whispered in her ear, "Now, does Sister Bai know what she means to me?" "If you still don't know, it's okay, I will...teach you until you understand." Hearing this, Bai Lian was shocked, quickly raising her hand to cover Mu Xing He's chest, like a frightened fawn. "No, I know...! Ugh!" Unfortunately, her meridians were sealed off and she couldn't use her spiritual power. Naturally, she couldn't push Mu Xing He away, so she could only watch Mu Xing He seal her lips again without giving her a chance to answer. What the hell... If you want to kiss me, just say so, why bother asking questions? What kind of questioner are you? You clearly had no intention of letting me answer! If a teacher asked like that, they would be reported, you know! Bai Lian was kissed into a daze, her mind already a mess, unaware of what she was thinking. At this moment, the sound of Xiao Cheng Yin and Tang Muli's conversation suddenly came from outside the corner. They happened to wander over here, ready to stop and take a look at the magic treasures here. "Uh uh uh uh uh." Seeing Xiao Cheng Yin and Tang Muli coming to a place just a cabinet away from them, Bai Lian struggled more intensely. Although the soundproof formation could cut off sound, it couldn't cut off sight. In other words, Xiao Cheng Yin and Tang Muli could see them at any time. If she and Mu Xing He were seen in their current state, she might as well escape to the moon overnight! (Note: The translation has been done while preserving the character-specific pronouns as per the given preferences. The translated text represents the essence, tone, and style of the original narrative in English.) However, while she struggled, Mu Xing He seemed to be annoyed by her. With a wave of her arm, even the soundproof formation that prevented sound from leaking out gradually dissipated. Bai Lian's movements instantly froze. She was on the verge of tears. But without the soundproof formation, she didn't dare to make even the slightest noise, for fear of being heard by Xiao Cheng Yin and his companions. Mu Xing He continued to kiss her, seemingly not caring about being found by outsiders. To avoid exposure, she could only endure tearfully as Mu Xing He invaded her lips, silently praying that Mu Xing He wouldn't do anything rash. However, Mu Xing He was much taller than her, and she had to stand on tiptoes to perfectly accommodate Mu Xing He. But at this point, Mu Xing He still playfully released her grip around her waist, forcing her to tightly grab Mu Xing He's collar, barely preventing herself from slipping out of her embrace. It was at this time that Xiao Cheng Yin and Tang Muli started talking about her. Xiao Cheng Yin said, "I wonder where Miss Bai has gone. I found a piece of jewelry I wanted to gift her as a welcoming present." "A woman as knowledgeable as Miss Bai will be hard to find again." "If I could marry her as the princess of my empire...” Mu Xing He's actions became even more excessive, constantly prying at Bai Lian's teeth. Subtle sounds also began to fill the air, as though responding to Xiao Cheng Yin's words. At this moment, Bai Lian finally realized that Mu Xing He's emotions earlier didn't come from Xiao Cheng Yin. Mu Xing He's jealousy towards her and Xiao Cheng Yin was only completely revealed now... She endured Mu Xing He's rough actions that were almost consuming her, with a face full of tears, but unable to take a breath. She could only silently pray in her heart. Brother Cheng, you're my true brother. Please stop, or I fear I won't be able to leave this sword-forging tower today... Seemingly feeling her plea, Xiao Cheng Yin did not further investigate this topic. Instead, he changed the subject. "That morning star chain, wasn't that something Miss Bai bought for Mu Xing He?" At this, both Bai Lian and Mu Xing He froze. Bai Lian tightly clasped her hand. The morning star chain was still in her palm. Despite being played with by Mu Xing He, she had never let go of it. It was the first gift she, as "Bai Lian," had given to Mu Xing He. Tang Muli added, "The primary function of the morning star chain is to harness the power of the celestial stars to aid in setting up formations. According to my knowledge, Miss Bai doesn't set up formations." "It seems that the morning star chain was indeed intentionally bought by Miss Bai for Miss Mu." "I never expected that their relationship would be so close," Xiao Cheng Yin sighed. "Why do you say so, Your Highness?" Tang Muli cooperatively displayed a puzzled expression. Xiao Cheng Yin lightly laughed, "When Miss Bai ascended the third floor, she was more concerned about the inconspicuous morning star chain than Qing Yun's sword." "She even asked me to help her search the third floor with her." "I could feel that to Miss Bai, the bracelet given to Mu Xing He was even more important than the sword she adored." "Perhaps Mu Xing He holds a significant position in her heart." "I never expected Your Highness to be so observant. I am impressed," Tang Muli bowed. "Haha, since I've decided to seek Miss Bai's hand in marriage, I have to be more thorough," Xiao Cheng Yin smiled. "If I can please Mu Xing He, she might be able to help me and Miss Bai." "Tang Muli, I hope you can provide me with more advice on this." "Of course." The two drifted away in their conversation. Bai Lian looked up at Mu Xing He, only to find her looking down, lost in thought. Obviously, Mu Xing He had heard the conversation between Xiao Cheng Yin and Tang Muli. Her eyes brightened involuntarily. Perhaps this was a perfect opportunity to strike while the iron was hot. At this juncture, she could no longer care about any sense of male ego! With a gentle tug at Mu Xing He's clothes and a trembling hand, she revealed the morning star chain in her palm. Then, in a soft and tender voice, she said, "Sister Mu..." It's a unique experience for a half-elf. I have exhausted my spirit after just 4,000 words, from midnight to 8:00 in the morning_(:3」 )_ View 13 comments
