Ji Xueruo noticed the anomaly in the skill, regretting her mistake in panic, and imdiately prepared to salvage the situation. However, there was no skill faster than the white snake.
Just as the two sisters were about to be struck by the white snake, several white snakes were sliced in half, and the water droplets in mid-air were also cut apart, turning into a mist.
Ji Xueruo looked incredulously at You Su, lightly biting her lip speechless. She only wanted to vent at You Su, not to attack the twins just like her.
As for Yo ng and Yu Long, protected, they gazed at You Su’s bare backside with shining eyes, realizing that despite his cold remarks earlier, he was the one who saved them, giving them an imnse sense of relief.
"Miss Ji, you have gone too far."
You Su coldly stared at Ji Xueruo, while Mo Song Sword exquisitely blocked the vital points.
Angered by his words, Ji Xueruo said:
"No one has touched you, but you’re rushing to protect them? Mr. You is truly a romantic!"
You Su exhaled and sighed, "Miss Ji, please calm down and let explain."
"You wanted to impose yourself upon the two maids, and they refused and cursed you as not being a man. I’ve seen this with my own eyes, what more is there to explain?!"
Yo ng and Yu Long glanced at the tense pair, the cold and fierce maiden’s words seeming as if she’s capturing a cheating partner, suddenly understanding why You Su was unmoved by their advances.
"Fairy Ji!"
Yo ng stood up, shyly covering the exposed skin with her hands, and said:
"Fairy misunderstood, it wasn’t Mr. You trying to impose on us, we...we wanted to impose on him, but he refused... My sister got angry and said that..."
As per Yo ng’s words, in the twins’ view, a man should not refuse beauty, hence she cursed him; whereas, in Ji Xueruo’s eyes, You Su should keep himself pure for her sister, which is why she cursed him like that.
Ji Xueruo furrowed her brows, wondering if "you’re not a man" had two anings?
"You two shouldn’t try to defend him. As long as I’m here, he won’t dare to do anything to you."
Ji Xueruo calmly advised, naturally having an affinity for Yo ng and Yu Long.
Yu Long also stood up, glancing at the naked You Su with a heart pounding like a deer, and defended You Su:
"Fairy Ji truly misunderstood, Mr. You is truly a gentleman despite temptation, and it was my mistake... If Fairy Ji wants to criticize or punish, let it all be on Yu Long."
With that, she cautiously stepped forward, shielding You Su and her sister.
Yo ng also stepped forward, shoulder to shoulder with her sister.
"Yo ng did it too, Fairy may as well punish together!"
Ji Xueruo raised her fine eyebrows, leaning back, and saw that the sisters seed ready to confront her as if she was the one being unreasonable and stealing love.
She looked again at You Su, whose body, ward by the recent bath, was muscular and glistening with droplets, resembling a perfect man erging from the bath.
Her gaze shifted downward, and upon seeing You Su’s uncovered second sword, Ji Xueruo imdiately blushed, turned her head away, and angrily said:
"Shaless! Hurry and dress!"
Ji Xueruo turned her back and marched outside the screen. You Su was also embarrassed, covering himself with sha.
Yo Long’s tears turned to laughter. By now, most water splashed out, no longer possible to continue the soak. She hurried to fetch a towel for You Su, while Yo ng brought a luxurious black-gold robe, hanging it on the nearby clothes rack.
"Mr. You, the towel is on your left, and the Patriarch has prepared new clothes for you on your right. Your old clothes are here too."
You Su was about to nod for them to leave, when a fierce voice ca from outside:
"You two co out! Let him do it himself!"
The sisters exchanged a glance and reluctantly retreated, they originally had no intention to assist You Su with dressing, and it was not fearing the fierce voice outside, but avoiding discontenting You Su further.
You Su shook his head helplessly, lanting what a ss this is?
He tidied himself briefly, intending to wear his old robes, but they were thoroughly soaked by the splashed water, he had to wear the new robe and walk out.
Clothes make the man. Wearing the luxurious black-gold robes, You Su’s appearance and deanor seed elevated.
Yo ng and Yu Long watched him intently, their hearts elated.
Ji Xueruo huffed disdainfully, pondering how she had seen the entire body of her sister’s beloved, with mixed feelings. Only relieved that You Su is not a woman, else having seen his whole body, wouldn’t she have to take responsibility?
"You two go out." Ji Xueruo lightly tapped the table, waking the infatuated sisters, "And rember to change your clothes! It’s hardly fitting for noble female cultivators to dress like this!"
Yo ng heard, humbly replied:
"Fairy forgives, my sister and I have lived in this empty hall, used to freedom and convenience, usually unseen by anyone. Mr. You is the first guest in decades, but Mr. You is blind, so it doesn’t matter."
"Who knows if he’s really blind or pretending."
"Fairy Ji, please do not speak ill of Mr. You." Yu Long mustered her courage.
"Are the maids of the Jade Ring Pool so ignorant of etiquette?"
Ji Xueruo gazed at the delicate Yu Long, unexpectedly a re maid daring to instruct her for You Su’s sake.
"Each palace in Jade Ring Pool has dedicated servants, loyal only to the palace master, even if temporary. Your hall’s four male servants are the sa."
Yo ng was submissive in posture but unapologetic in tone. This is her upbringing; even if Miss Ji blas her, The Patriarch will protect her.
She turned and bowed to You Su, saying:
"Mr. You, Yo ng and Yu Long take their leave."
Saying so, she led her sister out of the hall proudly.
After walking a while, Yu Long whispered:
"Sis, with that Miss Ji present, don’t we stand no chance?"
"Our sisterly unity might not be inferior to her alone; n in the world don’t only hold one woman in their hearts..."
Yo ng turned her head, gazing through the windows at a standalone pavilion in the middle of the lake, calmly said:
"Moreover, with Miss around, no one can resist Miss’s charm..."
