After I Abandoned the Protagonist [Quick Transmigration] 38p2

Chapter 38: The Destined-to-be-Abandoned Good-for-Nothing (18)p2

Peace returned to the mountains for a while.

Until Su Mingxiu, having stared at the meditating Gui Mian long enough to somewhat alleviate her longing, decided to approach her disciple again. She reached out to embrace her.

Gui Mian, who had always rejected her before, whether out of confidence in her own strength or simply because she couldn’t be bothered with Su Mingxiu anymore, let her embrace her. But then, her ear was caught by a warm, moist breath, and a chuckling voice whispered into her ear: “I said I was hungry, and you didn’t even think of feeding me.”

“Gui Mian, when did you become so heartless?”

When calling her disciple, her voice was filled with endless affection.

Now, calling her Gui Mian, her tone was playful, as if Su Mingxiu, with her deliberate choice of words, had infused the world with love and desire.

Was this really the emotionless and detached great cultivator of the Sword Sect?

She must have been possessed by a fox demon!

Gui Mian opened her eyes angrily and looked at Su Mingxiu. After a moment, just as Su Mingxiu thought she was angry and about to attack, she saw the grey mist enveloping them.

When the mist dispersed, they were no longer surrounded by menacing demon soldiers, but a bustling and lively market.

Their cultivation levels were too high for mortals to see them easily. Su Mingxiu casually cast a concealment spell, and only then did the people passing by seem to notice them, turning their heads to look.

Su Mingxiu didn’t deliberately make herself look ugly, but even so, their beauty still stood out among the mortals.

Especially Gui Mian in her red attire. She had a naturally beautiful face, yet she chose to wear such a flamboyant color. For a moment, the entire street, even the lanterns hanging from the trees, couldn’t compete with her radiance.

Someone’s eyes lit up, wanting to approach them, but before they could get close, they felt a blur before their eyes. When they rubbed their eyes and looked again, the two beauties were gone.

A certain restaurant.

Inside a private room on the second floor.

Su Mingxiu directly handed the menu to the waiter, asking him to bring all the signature dishes. When the table was filled with delicacies, she set up a barrier and looked at her little disciple, who was sitting across from her with her eyes closed, unmoved.

“Not trying any?”

She asked with a smile, a hint of nostalgia in her eyes. “I remember you praising the food in mortal restaurants, saying you could eat it forever and never get tired of it.”

Gui Mian opened her eyes and met her gaze calmly. “Did I?”

She wanted to say she didn’t remember, or use the line “Your disciple is long dead” to respond to Su Mingxiu. But perhaps guessing that this woman was currently troubled by her heart demon and had strange thoughts, she suddenly felt it was pointless.

The next moment, chopsticks holding a piece of meat with a spicy aroma were placed before her lips.

Her pale lips were instantly stained with oil.

Looking even more tempting than the meat.

Gui Mian swatted Su Mingxiu’s chopsticks away in annoyance. Seeing that the meat was about to fall onto the table, Su Mingxiu pointed a finger, and the meat magically returned to the plate.

“You don’t have to eat,” she said, “but don’t waste food.”

Instinctively, Gui Mian felt a pang of guilt at her master’s words.

But in the next second, she realized that she should have already abandoned this respect for Su Mingxiu. She sneered. “Food?”

Her eyes darted around, the pupils turning a golden color, an alluring light swirling within them. Fortunately, a barrier had been set up around them, so no one could notice this strange scene.

“My food… isn’t on this table.”

“If you want to feed me, you’re using the wrong method.”

Oh?

Su Mingxiu rested her chin on her hand, her long, ink-stained sleeve falling down, revealing her jade-white wrist. Hearing those suggestive words, her expression didn’t change. She only looked at her little disciple with a probing gaze, as if trying to judge the truth in her words.

After a while, she picked up her chopsticks and put the piece of meat that Gui Mian had refused into her own mouth.

The Jade Elder seemed to have a carefree attitude of taking things as they came. Even after being rejected several times, she didn’t show any frustration at her failed attempts. She seemed to have a good appetite as she reached for the dishes on the table.

Just when Gui Mian thought that Su Mingxiu wouldn’t bother her with these meaningless nostalgic acts anymore and closed her eyes to feign sleep, she heard a reply from across the table: “Alright.”

“After I finish eating, I’ll feed you.”

Gui Mian: “!”
