With her beautiful face and quiet, graceful presence, the white silk dress lightly floating in the breeze, and her long black hair dancing like a sprite's, she looked like a snow fairy stepping straight out of a painting. Everyone was montarily stunned.
"The Xiaolongnü! She's here!"
"That's her?"
"She's gorgeous—like, beyond words!"
The whole square froze for a second before a wave of gasps and praise erupted from the crowd.
Skirt-Flipping Maniac: "Wow, Mochou's sister-disciple is insanely pretty too!"
Doujin Artist: "No kidding. So of those guys are drooling already, I swear."
Curly-haired Guy: "Tch, have so self-control. (expression: drooling)"
Machete Girl: "Your face already gave you away, Gintoki."
Curly-haired Guy: "I was just eating ran, okay?"
On screen.
Xiao Longnv slowly looked around, her face calm and emotionless. Her voice was cold and clear as she said, "There has never been any martial arts contest for marriage at the Ancient Tomb. You've all been tricked. Please leave." With that, she turned to go back inside.
"Wait!" Huo Du snapped out of it and hurried after her, shouting, "Xiaolongnü! I am Huo Du, Prince of Mongolia. May I..."
Clang.
Before he could finish, a flash of silver light shot past his face and stabbed into a giant rock right in front of him.
Crack.
The stone shattered instantly, exploding into countless shards.
Only then did people realize that the silver flash was actually a long sword still in its sheath. The handle, stuck into the rock, was still trembling slightly.
Silence.
Huo Du stood frozen for a mont. He reached up to touch his right cheek without thinking—only to sar blood all over his hand.
"This isn't a place where you can ss around."
A cold voice rang out. Her light yellow robe fluttered as the stunning Daoist woman suddenly appeared before everyone's eyes.
"It's her... it's really her?"
"Li Mochou! Why is she here?"
Another wave of gasps swept through the square. Earlier it was awe—this ti, it was fear.
A na carries power, just like a tree casts a shadow.
The ruthless ways of the Scarlet Lotus Fairy were known throughout the martial world. Her reputation was so fearso that even children would stop crying when her na was ntioned. Now that she was standing right in front of them, how could this ragtag group not panic?
"Senior sister?"a gentle voice broke the mont. Even the usually calm Xiaolongnü showed a flicker of emotion in her eyes.
"It's been a while, little sister." Li Mochou looked at her with a gaze full of mixed feelings.
She had once been blinded by hatred, her heart consud by obsession. All she could think about was revenge.
Because of that, she had done many terrible things.
The innocent people who suffered because of her anger...
The loyal little apprentice who looked up to her...
Even this pure-hearted junior standing before her...
She had hurt them all deeply.
This was a burden Li Mochou could never truly let go of. The only thing she could do now was try to make up for it.
After a mont of silence, Xiaolongnü's gaze cald again. Her voice was cool: "Senior sister, why are you here?"
"If I said I missed you, would you believe ?" Li Mochou looked straight at her and asked softly.
You... missed ?
Xiaolongnü finally couldn't keep her calm face. Her lips parted slightly, eyes filled with surprise.
Curly-haired Guy: Whoa whoa whoa, this scene! Is this the legendary wild lily about to bloom? Go for it, Mochou-chan!
Skirt-Flipping Maniac: What the heck is "wild lily"?
Doujin Artist: She's stunned! Dragon Lady is totally frozen in shock!
This is an Actor: No way she expected Mochou to say sothing like that.
Even Xiaolongnü wasn't the only one caught off guard—Aizen didn't see it coming either.
But that made sense. After spending so much ti in this chat group, Li Mochou had long since moved past the original story. Her personality and way of thinking had changed completely. She was now her own person—a brand-new Li Mochou.
"Yeah... now you're starting to look like the junior sister I rember."
Li Mochou gently tapped Xiaolongnü's nose, then turned around.
"But let's save our talk for later. For now, I've got a scene to finish."
Senior sister...
That small gesture brought back old mories for Xiaolongnü. For a second, she felt like the warm, gentle senior sister she once knew had returned.
"Ten seconds... ten breaths."
Facing the crowd, Li Mochou's voice was calm as ever. "You've got ten breaths to leave. If you stay—don't even think about walking away."
Skirt-Flipping Maniac: Pretty sure she ant "ten seconds," right? She was about to say seconds and switched halfway!
Doujin Artist: Yeah, she couldn't just say seconds—these ancient folks wouldn't get it. So she had to switch it up mid-sentence.
Curly-haired Guy: Hmph. Don't be fooled by her cold face. I bet Mochou-chan is super embarrassed inside. Don't blush now—if you blush, you lose!
Machete Girl: Gin-san, you're doing this on purpose, aren't you?
Shark-Faced Guy: Obviously. Totally doing it on purpose.
Agakure Village's Angel: Gin, quit ssing with her head! If Mochou really blushes here, how's she gonna keep her scary rep in the martial world?
This is an Actor: Right? The Scarlet Lotus Fairy would turn into the Blushing Fairy!
Skirt-Flipping Maniac: Pfft!
Doujin Artist: B-blushing fairy... I can't...
Curly-haired Guy: Only Lord Aizen could co up with sothing that evil. I give up. No one sses with people better than him!
This group is seriously cursed.
Watching the barrage of flying comnts, Li Mochou's mouth twitched ever so slightly.
Blushing Fairy, seriously? This Anzen guy's a demon. Who cos up with sothing that embarrassing?
Crap, I'm about to lose it...
Just as Li Mochou's ears started turning red, Huo Du finally stepped up with a twisted grin, unintentionally saving her.
"Hah! So you're the big, bad Scarlet Lotus Fairy? You think we martial world fighters are scared of you?"
