Knock, knock, knock—
Suddenly, the door was knocked on.
Ling Ningzhi’s voice ca from outside: "Zhixia, are you inside?"
The two of them froze, exchanging glances.
"Daoist Qingxuan? Why is she here?"
Just as Chen Mo was about to get up and get dressed, Shen Zhixia held him down, cleared her throat, and said aloud, "Daoist, you can co in."
?!
Chen Mo’s eyes widened, "Zhixia, what are you..."
Shen Zhixia looked resentful, humming softly, "Brother, how long were you planning to keep it from ? That ti we were kissing in the room, Daoist Qingxuan was hiding in the cabinet, wasn’t she?"
"Bad brother, you didn’t even spare my good friend..."
"..."
Chen Mo looked slightly embarrassed.
So this girl knew everything, she was just holding back and hadn’t ntioned it.
Creak—
The door opened, and Ling Ningzhi walked in.
Gazing at the bed shrouded by curtains, she approached and softly said, "It’s so late, and you’re still sleeping in? Get up, you little lazybones..."
Her words abruptly stopped.
She saw two vague silhouettes behind the gauzy curtain.
Soone sharing a bed with Shen Zhixia, with their breath so concealed that even divine sense couldn’t detect them... She couldn’t think of anyone else besides Chen Mo!
"What are they doing in bed in broad daylight?"
"What’s with Zhixia, letting in when Mr. Chen is here..."
Ling Ningzhi moved to turn away.
Suddenly, a fair hand reached out from behind the curtain, grabbing her arm.
With a pull—
?!
Caught off guard, Ling Ningzhi fell backward onto the soft bedding.
Imdiately, a soft body dove into her embrace.
Shen Zhixia smiled like a flower, saying, "Daoist, long ti no see~"
Seeing her barely dressed state, Ling Ningzhi’s expression stiffened slightly. She slowly turned her head, only to see Chen Mo entirely nude, shrugging helplessly.
"Zhixia, what are you doing? Let go of ," Ling Ningzhi stamred.
Holding her slim waist, Shen Zhixia softly said, "This ti when we went to the Southern Border and the Daoist saved Brother Chen Mo’s life, I’m really grateful."
Ling Ningzhi, feeling embarrassed and angry, said, "And this is how you thank ?"
Shen Zhixia tilted her head and asked back, "Doesn’t the Daoist like it?"
"..."
Ling Ningzhi was stunned, then flustered, "I-I don’t know what you’re talking about."
"Alright then, no need to hide anymore," Shen Zhixia said, straddling her, with arms resting on either side of her neck, "Actually, I felt sothing was off since we left the Secret Realm, but I couldn’t be sure until later..."
"Since then, the Daoist has been acting stranger and stranger."
"Whenever the Daoist looks at , there’s always a flash of guilt. Whenever Chen Mo is ntioned, the Daoist becos a little dazed, and when seeing Chen Mo, the Daoist’s eyes hold emotions similar to General Li’s."
Staring into her eyes as clear as water, Shen Zhixia said seriously, "Daoist, you actually like Brother Chen Mo too, don’t you?"
"I..."
Ling Ningzhi’s heart skipped a beat.
Does she like Chen Mo?
This question, she had never really thought about.
Or rather, she had always avoided it, not wanting to confront it.
Chen Mo is Shen Zhixia’s fiancé, and she’s best friends with Shen Zhixia. Snatching a friend’s man, what a shaless act!
Bound by a strong sense of morality, Ling Ningzhi found it hard to face her own feelings openly.
So back on the Flying Boat, she didn’t agree to break the contract; this was one reason—she could comfort herself that she was entangled with Chen Mo to obtain Immortal Materials for her grandpa...
Though it was self-deception, at least it made her feel a little better.
Now, Shen Zhixia had brought everything to light, leaving her unsure of how to respond.
Shen Zhixia shook her head and said, "At first, I was a bit unhappy, but I’ve co to understand, even without the Daoist, other won would appear..."
"Besides, I trust the Daoist’s character. In terms of strength and background, you can help Brother."
"As the saying goes, don’t let an outsider reap the harvest. Instead of letting other won take advantage, it’s better for the Daoist."
Ling Ningzhi lowered her head, her ears burning.
The words might sound crude, but thinking it over, they seem to make so sense.
"If the Daoist is worried this will affect our relationship, there’s no need to fret."
Shen Zhixia placed her hands on her hips, puffed out her chest, and said, "The virtuous won of old were known for their tolerance and integrity... As long as I have firm assurance of Brother’s feelings, it won’t matter to have one more Daoist."
"..."
Ling Ningzhi was speechless.
Seeing her still hesitating, Shen Zhixia giggled, "Anyway, I’m only giving the Daoist this one chance. If you miss it, there won’t be another, so don’t bla for being heartless then."
With that, she got up from Ling Ningzhi’s arms and walked over to Chen Mo.
"Brother, let’s continue~"
?
Before Chen Mo could react, Shen Zhixia held his cheeks and leaned in—
∑(O_O;)
Ling Ningzhi was stunned.
A touch of blush spread rapidly across her face, turning it crimson, as she watched in disbelief.
This girl is so daring?!
She actually...
So embarrassing!
She wished she could get up and leave imdiately, but rembering what Shen Zhixia had just said, she hesitated.
If she missed this chance, it might be hard to express her feelings again...
But given the current scene, she can’t possibly join in, can she?
Caught in a dilemma, she didn’t know what to do.
Although Shen Zhixia seed so bold, inside she was just as nervous, her face as red as an apple, unable to lift her head.
