Miss Fairy, Please Hear Me Out

Xu Yuan was struck by a sudden wave of dizziness.

Just like Su Jinxuan, Lou Ji had a remarkably generous bosom. Although which of the two was more blessed remained an open question. The tip of his nose brushed against something soft as he breathed in her floral fragrance.

Ah, that damned sense of security... But the moment the thought arose, Xu Yuan’s eyes snapped open. Wait. This dizziness...

He remembered Lou Ji’s fragrance was poisonous. Its poison-rose scent was wonderfully refreshing, yet it could rob a person of their ability to resist without them even noticing. It directly paralyzed the meridians. Still, someone as meticulous her would never make such an amateur mistake.

Xu Yuan instinctively began circulating his cultivation art, then stopped. Well, it was already inside him. That wicked auntie had done it on purpose after all.

A strand of milky-white source qi had entered the meridians suffused with his faint blood qi.

Source qi was colorless by nature, though a cultivation art could alter it. If all she wanted was to examine his meridians, it would never have taken on any color.

Realizing this, Xu Yuan promptly abandoned all thoughts of resistance and carefully savored the overwhelming sense of security before him.

After all, Lou Ji had once damaged her own cultivation foundation for the sake of his meridians.

Now that he could cultivate, it was only natural that she would want to give them a thorough examination.

A moment later, the warm sense of security pressed against his face disappeared.

He suddenly felt rather empty inside. Then a pair of jade-soft hands cupped his cheeks. Two exquisite eyes stared unblinkingly into his from mere inches away.

Raven-dark tresses were piled high in an elegant coiffure, while her emerald eyes shimmered like autumn waters. A pair of clear, watery green eyes. It really was that wicked auntie of his. And she was sitting sideways on his lap.

They stared at each other for two seconds.

Xu Yuan opened his mouth to speak, but Lou Ji’s phoenix eyes suddenly curved into crescents. Her seductive laughter carried a hint of excitement. “Mhm, not bad. Our Changtian has gotten even more handsome~”

With that, she went to town rubbing his head.

Xu Yuan was struck speechless. He tried to resist. He could not.

Lou Ji enthusiastically kneaded his cheeks for quite some time before Xu Yuan suddenly felt the weight on his body disappear. He looked up at her retreating figure, seemingly in quite a good mood, and the corner of his eye twitched uncontrollably.

As for her outfit, it could only be described as perfectly faithful to the source material. She wore a flowing, backless gown that exposed her smooth jade back and lustrous fair skin. High-heeled lotus boots adorned her dainty feet, while a phoenix coronet rested atop her elaborate coiffure.

When she slowly turned around, Xu Yuan instinctively wanted to avert his gaze. But he restrained himself. This is way too fucking faithful to the original.

Lou Ji’s beautiful eyes curved when she saw Xu Yuan’s expression. She leaned closer, bent at the waist, and rubbed his head with a delighted smile.

“Aww~ Our Changtian is so adorable when he’s shy. If you want to look, then just look~”

SMACK! Xu Yuan slapped her hand away. After several bloody lessons, the Third Young Master in his memories had hardly dared to look this wicked woman in the eye. But how could a real man spend his life beneath a woman? He straightened his clothes, then looked at her calmly and spoke without the slightest emotion in his voice. “Auntie Lou... Ahem. Big Sister, what brings you here?”

Lou JI’s icy gaze instantly softened again. She did not hold the slap against him. She slowly straightened and plopped herself down beside Xu Yuan. She crossed her long, slender legs, rested an elbow on his shoulder, and propped her temple against her fist. Every inch a queen.

Looking at the two old men outside the window, Lou Ji casually said, “The demonic beast tide from the Myriad Ascents Mountain Range has arrived. Your brother used you as an excuse to visit the Ancient Abyss and kill one of their serpent princesses, but the Ancient Abyss was hardly going to take that lying down. That’s why Big Sister has been staying here to handle matters. We’ve already captured two demonic beasts capable of assuming human form.”

“Two?” Xu Yuan raised an eyebrow.

A demonic beast could awaken its intelligence as its cultivation increased, but assuming human form was not something it could accomplish through cultivation alone. It also required the right bloodline and a cultivation art designed specifically for transformation.

The Ancient Abyss was ruled through bloodlines, and those bloodlines were kept under a near-total monopoly. Among the demon race, only the various royal clans generally possessed methods for assuming human form. Of course, not every demonic beast chose to transform.

Once a demonic beast fully assumed human form, it could imitate the cultivation speed of a human, but its lifespan would also plummet until it was no different from a human’s.

Xu Yuan remembered that around this point in Azure Point, a young dragoness had transformed and slipped into the Great Flame Empire.

Back when he played the game, that young dragoness had been his favorite. After all, who didn’t dream of becoming a dragon rider? Even on the other story branches where she appeared as a boss and he had no choice but to slaughter her, he had found himself feeling strangely excited.

At the thought, Xu Yuan lowered his voice and asked, “What species are they?”

“A little tiger and an old thieving eagle.” Lou Ji had no intention of hiding it from him. She spoke in a soft, gentle voice, resting her chin on her fair forearm. Her red lips drifted toward Xu Yuan’s ear, her warm breath teasing his earlobe.

“Why? Are you interested, Little Changtian? Big Sister can let you interrogate them yourself~”

Now this is a fucking succubus! Xu Yuan’s eyebrows twitched.He had weathered his fair share of storms by now. He did not pull away, though he kept his hands dutifully to himself. “Not interested. I was only asking. After all, I nearly died at the hands of the Ancient Abyss back then.”

At the mention of that, Lou Ji raised an eyebrow and asked as if it were nothing, “I heard from your father that the girl surnamed Ran stayed by your side the entire time?”

“What are you planning?” Xu Yuan asked, immediately wary of her tone. If that iceberg of a woman met this old auntie, she would probably be bullied until she looked positively pitiful.

Lou Ji burst into laughter. Barely containing her amusement, she sat up straight and gave him several hearty slaps on the back. “Why are you so nervous? Big Sister only wants to help vet her for you~”

Xu Yuan smiled as well. “You’re a very busy woman, Big Sister. There’s no need to trouble yourself over this.”

“No.” Lou Ji cut him off without hesitation and smiled. “Big Sister insists on meeting Changtian’s little sweetheart~”

After a brief pause, she leaned over him once more, her breath as fragrant as orchids. “Of course, if you can defeat me, Changtian, then Big Sister will have no choice but to place herself entirely at your mercy~”

Xu Yuan fell silent. Su Jinxuan, you’re an embarrassment to succubi everywhere!

Lou Ji leaned even closer. “Well? Want to give it a try? Big Sister will do anything you say~”

Xu Yuan’s earlobes gradually turned red. Unable to withstand the assault any longer, he shifted slightly away from her. Who the hell could defeat you?

She was a first rank Transcendent with unrivaled poison arts and extraordinary medical skills. That was not even mentioning the Blackscale Guards under her command. This was a woman who dared beat Xu Changge inside the Chancellor’s Manor.

Seeing that the Third Young Master’s ears had finally turned red, Lou Ji nodded in satisfaction. She rose and sank into the soft cushions, watching his profile as she returned to the matter at hand. “Changtian, do you really intend to keep ignoring them?”

Xu Yuan glanced sideways at the two old men who had been standing in midair outside the window for quite some time. A cold gleam flashed through his narrow eyes. “An opening show of force is important.”

“Will it accomplish anything?”

“Of course. At the very least, it will make them understand their place.”

“And if they continue refusing to speak?” Lou Ji tilted her head.

Xu Yuan grinned and glanced at the wicked woman. “Then we take Myriad first and discuss the finer details afterward.”
