Chapter 109: Even if You Were a Little Uglier…

Holding the Bellyband, which was embroidered with Narcissus flowers, Lin Xun felt extremely conflicted, especially since the Bellyband still carried a slight warmth.

Lin Xun felt exactly like Hong Shixian right now, or maybe Cheng-ge?

No, no! Like a hammer! (What the hell!)

I shouldn’t be the problem, right… It must be this girl who’s a bit strange… But this Bellyband feels really comfortable to the touch. What material is it made of? Also, can this Bellyband really block the full-force strike of a Yupu Realm Sword Cultivator?

No, no, I’m getting distracted, I’m getting distracted. Is the issue right now whether it can block the full-force strike of that Yupu Realm Sword Cultivator?

The thing in my hand is really bad news… “Do you like it?” Bai Luoxue asked, blinking her eyes, devoid of joy or sorrow, watching Lin Xun in a daze.

“L-like a hammer!”

Lin Xun deliberately grabbed her wrist through her sleeve and stuffed the Bellyband into her palm.

“Miss, you should keep this yourself. If you try to disrupt my Dao Heart with things like this again, don’t blame this Pure Love Warrior for drawing his saber ruthlessly!”

Bai Luoxue tilted her head: “But… you clearly like it.”

“No! I don’t like it!”

“Then why is your face so red?”

“…The weather is hot!” Lin Xun turned and left, heading out of the courtyard to buy breakfast.

After leaving the courtyard and walking onto the street, Lin Xun finally woke up completely from the morning stupor. After waking up, Lin Xun frowned.

Was I just teased by a three-no girl?

In the courtyard, Bai Luoxue was still standing in the same spot.

The girl stretched out her slender hand, pale and tender as tofu, feeling the late autumn chill. She tilted her head and blinked her eyes: “The weather is clearly not hot.”

Lin Xun returned after buying breakfast, and he specifically brought himself a cup of Herbal Tea.

He had been feeling a bit overheated recently.

Yaya was sitting on the stool, gobbling down Meat Buns. Lin Xun wiped the grease overflowing from the corners of her mouth.

Yaya raised her small head, squinted her eyes, and let Brother Lin wipe the grease from her mouth, looking very content.

Bai Luoxue, sitting on the other side, saw this and tried hard to open her small mouth wide, but no matter how hard she tried, it remained a cherry mouth.

Imitating Yaya, Bai Luoxue bit hard into the bun beneath her veil.

Beneath the veil, speckles of grease stained the corners of her pink lips.

Bai Luoxue looked up at Lin Xun, blinking, and made a move to take off her veil, intending to let Lin Xun wipe her mouth.

“Wipe it yourself.”

Discovering her intention, Lin Xun quickly threw her a few pieces of rough Tissue Paper.

The Tissue Paper was made by Lin Xun himself; after all, life without paper was truly inconvenient.

Bai Luoxue looked at the tissue on the table, then reached out and picked it up, slipping her small hand under the veil to wipe the corner of her mouth.

The girl’s eyes were extremely calm, showing no disappointment from the failed plan, nor sadness from Lin Xun’s indifference.

Or rather, Bai Luoxue simply didn’t know what disappointment or sadness felt like.

After breakfast, Lin Xun wrote a leave request letter stating, “The world is big, I want to travel for a month or two,” and asked a colleague to pass it on.

After putting Yaya’s Small Bundle into his Storage Pouch, Lin Xun picked up Yaya, ready to set off.

“Besides the Bellyband, I have other Magic Treasures. I can give you anything you want,”

Bai Luoxue said lightly, watching Lin Xun at the courtyard entrance.

“Such as?”

“My Foot-socks are a very good flying Magic Treasure, and my lining can also defend against the Heavenly Fire of the Fire Phoenix, and there’s the Virility Mushroom, though that was originally meant for you to eat, and also…”

“Wait!” Lin Xun stopped her. “No need, Miss, you should keep your Magic Treasures. It won’t be too late to give me something else if you get any other normal Magic Treasures later.”

“Don’t you like it?”

“I don’t like it!”

“But you clearly like it.”

“No! I don’t like it! My Windows are normal.”

“Oh.” Bai Luoxue nodded, then lowered her Beautiful Head, seemingly sinking into thoughts on “How to capture Lin Xun.”

In fact, if it were any other man, Bai Luoxue wouldn’t need to capture them at all; they would willingly be controlled by her.

But Lin Xun’s heart not only held a demon slaying saber, but also a stone suppressing it. Lin Xun felt as pure as a Saint!

“Alright, I’m leaving.” Seeing her persistent manner, Lin Xun sighed. “Remember, you can only stay for a month and a half!”

“Mhm, during this month and a half, I will figure out a way to make you fall for me.”

“You’re dreaming.”

Lin Xun rolled his eyes at her, turned around, and gradually disappeared on the horizon.

Standing at the courtyard entrance, watching Lin Xun holding Yaya grow further and further away, Bai Luoxue stood for an unknown amount of time. Only after Lin Xun vanished into a black dot on the horizon, and another Half an Incense Stick of time passed, did she retract her gaze, slowly turn around, and walk back into the courtyard.

Lin Xun’s door was not locked, but Bai Luoxue never thought of entering, because she had promised him she wouldn’t enter his room.

In the courtyard, a breeze swept past. The already bare peach tree stood motionless, with only the cold-resistant Wutong Tree retaining a few leaves, looking exactly like an old professor’s hair.

The girl sat on the Stone Stool with her shapely, long legs pressed together. From the side, her posture looked pure and lovely.

The girl raised her Beautiful Head, blinking her cat-tailed peach blossom eyes as she looked at the sky.

“Luoxue, you were born with the Bewitching Bone. Almost all men won’t be able to resist approaching you, but you must remember: Men! They are not good things!”

“Master, Luoxue understands.”

“No, you don’t understand. Others only know you possess the Bewitching Bone, but who knows that you also possess the Moon Purity Meridian, seen once every ten thousand years? The first child you bear in the future will certainly achieve Ascension! With both combined, everyone will try everything to obtain you… *cough cough cough… cough cough cough*.”

The old woman coughed violently. The girl helped her up and gently patted her back.

“It’s nothing,” the old woman waved her hand. “Luoxue. Do you know why I want you to control Lin Xun?”

The girl nodded: “Senior Sister said that Lin Xun is the strongest person in the current era. If we control Lin Xun, our Sect can remain prosperous for ten thousand years.”

“Silly child,” the old woman affectionately stroked the girl’s long hair. “It is precisely because he is the strongest person in the current era that only he can protect you from becoming someone else’s plaything.”

“Luoxue. You are my Disciple, but you are also my Granddaughter.”

The old woman gently stroked the girl’s cheek, her aged eyes reflecting kindness and heartache.

“Grandmother truly wishes you weren’t born so beautiful… Even if you were a little uglier… just a little uglier… it would be better.”

In the courtyard, a late autumn chill swept through again.

The gentle breeze lightly blew the girl’s veil, lifting a tiny corner of the purple gauze.

The breeze stopped, and the veil dropped again. The bare branches of the peach tree in the courtyard actually sprouted faint tender buds.

It turned out that the peach tree thought late autumn was over, flowers were blooming everywhere, and the season had entered spring.
