Chapter 30: Rather Be a Pair of Lovebirds Than an Immortal
Su Lingxi waited in her courtyard for another day, but Luo Chuxue still didn’t come. Now, she was even more determined to go to the Immaculate Pool and find out what was going on.
That day, Su Lingxi woke up an hour earlier than Xiao Yun to get ready. It was less Su Lingxi getting herself ready and more Xiao Bai doing it for her.
It couldn’t be helped. Back in school, if she woke up too late, sometimes she wouldn’t even wash her face.
Back then, she would often see the girls in her class beautifully dressed up, their makeup exquisite even for an 8 AM class.
Back then, when she saw a girl she liked, she would only dare to watch from a distance. Now, she had become the kind of girl she liked.
“All done. I’m telling you, you should learn to do this yourself. Next time, I’m going to charge you.”
“Bad Xiao Bai, you’ve got money on the brain,” Su Lingxi made a face.
Having a white-haired loli do her makeup in the morning was a wonderful thing, and she wasn’t about to waste it.
Just as the sky was brightening, Su Lingxi put on the modified inner court long dress.
This time, she was going to transform into the Fourth Elder’s granddaughter to ensure everything went smoothly.
Who knew that as soon as she stepped out, she would see Xiao Yun washing up.
Su Lingxi: “!”
“Wait, why is he up an hour early?”
“I’m going to die!”
Hearing the noise, Xiao Yun subconsciously turned his head. A beautiful woman dressed in an inner court long dress stood charmingly at Su Lingxi’s door. Her skin was fairer than snow, her brows like distant mountains, and her lively eyes were currently filled with panic, making her even more pitiable.
Xiao Yun rubbed his eyes in disbelief. Just yesterday, he had dreamed that the heavens had sent him a wife. He hadn’t expected his dream to come true so quickly.
Su Lingxi was extremely embarrassed. Running into Xiao Yun right after setting out was a major oversight. Her mind raced, trying to think of a way to fool him.
“You are…” Xiao Yun asked, a little shy.
“I… I am Brother Su Lingxi’s dao companion…” The girl lowered her head timidly, her expression full of shyness.
Instantly, a bolt from the blue exploded in Xiao Yun’s chest.
“Su Lingxi’s… dao companion…”
The words almost made him unable to breathe. What was worse, this girl had come out of Su Lingxi’s room.
This meant that Su Lingxi was hiding a beauty in his golden house!
“You must be Big Brother Xiao… Please, can you keep this a secret for me?”
The young woman’s pitiful gaze pleaded with Xiao Yun. Xiao Yun couldn’t bear it. “You know me?”
The young woman nodded. “I’ve often heard Brother Su Lingxi mention you.”
Xiao Yun carefully examined the young woman. She was wearing the robes of the inner court, had a great figure, and was beautiful.
An unbearable sourness spread from the bottom of Xiao Yun’s heart. “Wuwu, I can’t take it anymore. Even young Su has a dao companion.”
And she was from the inner court.
In the Snowfall Sect, it wasn’t uncommon for people to become dao companions, but most were outer court disciples.
But for an inner court disciple and an outer court disciple to develop feelings for each other was rare.
“Then Su Lingxi…?”
“Brother Su Lingxi is still sleeping inside. Yesterday, he… um… was too tired.”
Su Lingxi couldn’t help but laugh as she said this. She could use her current identity to regain her masculine pride.
“What!?” Xiao Yun was instantly agitated.
The young woman nodded shyly, her voice as soft as a mosquito’s buzz. “I… almost couldn’t get up…”
Xiao Yun: “Holy crap!”
“You two already did that, and he’s still sleeping? He didn’t even come to see you off.”
“Big Brother will stand up for you in this matter. Big Brother will go and wake him up right now!”
Su Lingxi was shocked. She hadn’t expected Xiao Yun’s sense of justice to be so strong. She instantly felt that she had gone too far.
“Don’t, Big Brother Xiao. I’m begging you, please let Brother Su rest a little longer…”
Seeing the young woman blocking the door, Xiao Yun was in a difficult position, but he was more angry than anything.
“Good kid, I’m really envious of you, finding such a deeply devoted girl.”
What Su Lingxi didn’t know was that the more she acted like this, the more Xiao Yun wanted to go in and beat her up.
Seeing that Xiao Yun was unmoved, Su Lingxi had no choice but to use her ultimate move.
She intimately grabbed Xiao Yun’s forearm, and her left hand also grabbed his right hand, which was about to open the door.
“Big Brother Xiao, I’m begging you, please don’t disturb him… okay?”
The moment Xiao Yun’s hand was grabbed by Su Lingxi, he felt a little light-headed. The young woman’s hand was as delicate and smooth as soft jade.
This feeling went straight to his heart. What was worse, the young woman was only a few centimeters away from him at this moment.
Xiao Yun thought to himself, “It’s been a long time since I’ve touched a woman’s hand~”
And he could clearly smell the fragrance of the young woman’s hair. A soft and glutinous touch came from Xiao Yun’s chest, and a certain part of his body instantly stiffened.
Then, a sense of guilt welled up, and he instantly released the young woman’s hand and moved a few steps away from her.
“Ahem!” Xiao Yun coughed lightly to hide his blush.
Xiao Yun silently recited in his heart, “One must not covet a friend’s wife.”
“Since you insist, then I’ll let it go for today. Next time, I must have a good talk with him.”
Seeing Xiao Yun pretending to be calm, Su Lingxi was about to burst out laughing. She hadn’t even realized that Xiao Yun had taken some advantage of her.
A man knows a man best. Handling a Xiao Yun was a piece of cake.
But the act had to be completed. The young woman gracefully bowed to Big Brother Xiao. “Thank you so much, Big Brother Xiao~”
“Hey, you’re an inner court disciple. You shouldn’t be bowing to an outer court disciple like me,” Xiao Yun said, about to help Su Lingxi up.
But the young woman shook her head and smiled sweetly. “Brother Su Lingxi’s big brother is my big brother!”
“It’s getting late. I have to go. I’ll come and see Big Brother Xiao next time.”
The young woman smiled sweetly and was about to leave. Xiao Yun quickly stepped forward. “I still don’t know the young lady’s name?”
“My name is Su Yuebai!”
“Su Yuebai…” Xiao Yun silently recited the name in his heart. Then, he looked at Su Lingxi’s room with some envy.
“What a good kid. He just entered the Snowfall Sect, and he’s already found such a gentle woman as a dao companion.”
“Sigh, I’m so envious.”
“No, wait. Next time Yuebai comes, I’ll ask her to introduce me to someone.”
Xiao Yun thought about it from a different perspective, and most of the gloom in his heart dissipated.
“Aiya, it’s better to be a pair of lovebirds than an immortal~”
Xiao Yun shouldered his luggage and prepared to start another day of hard work.
