Chapter 165: The Burrito Stack Game
***
“It’s over…”
“Master, you two…”
Su Wanqing had just pushed open the door when her gaze swept over the scene inside the room. In that instant, she froze completely in place.
Lin Muyu’s cheeks were flushed bright red at this moment, embarrassedly turning her head away.
She herself found it strange. Obviously she had no relationship with Su Wanqing, yet inexplicably a sense of guilt surged up from the bottom of her heart, and her eyes unconsciously wanted to avoid Su Wanqing’s gaze.
“My eldest disciple, it’s been a long time since you last rested with your master, hasn’t it?”
Xinlian’s voice drifted over leisurely, carrying a hint of laziness.
A few days ago, she had been quite conflicted, but ever since she went and thoroughly beat up that Demon General, she had come to terms with it.
Because she knew she didn’t need to worry about anything, nor did she need to explain anything.
This world was still one where strength reigned supreme.
“Master, you’re busy, this disciple will take her leave first!”
Countless thoughts flashed through Su Wanqing’s mind at lightning speed. She quickly gave Lin Muyu an apologetic look, then turned to close the door and retreat.
But before her hand could touch the door frame, her vision suddenly spun.
Lin Muyu only felt a warm body suddenly appear beside her. Xinlian’s embrace, which wasn’t spacious to begin with, instantly became especially crowded.
“You two, just rest here with this venerable one for a while.”
Xinlian reached out and gently wrapped her arms around both their shoulders, her voice full of lazy drowsiness.
“Uh…”
Su Wanqing opened her mouth, her heart full of helplessness.
At this moment, Lin Muyu looked toward Su Wanqing, only to discover that there wasn’t the slightest bit of surprise on her face, as if she had long anticipated this situation.
“You don’t seem surprised at all?”
Lin Muyu asked cautiously, somewhat afraid the other party would notice something wrong.
“Why would I be surprised? What you’re experiencing now, I actually went through when I was little.”
Su Wanqing let out a gentle sigh and slowly recounted her experiences of being used as a pillow by Xinlian when she was young.
Back then, Xinlian wasn’t very practiced at it. One night, she had almost suffocated her to the point she couldn’t breathe. Even now, thinking about it still felt somewhat funny.
No wonder Xinlian was so smooth at holding her, it turned out she had already practiced on someone else?
Lin Muyu suddenly understood.
But the more she listened, the more guilty Lin Muyu felt inside.
This past month, her interactions with Xinlian had been far richer and much more intimate than Su Wanqing’s experiences over more than 10 years.
However, she wasn’t foolish enough to talk about these things.
She had long forgotten about all that… right?
Well, actually she hadn’t forgotten at all. She was just deliberately not thinking about it. Now that Su Wanqing had stirred up the memories, the guilty feeling quietly emerged again.
After Su Wanqing finished talking about the past, she slowly turned her head. Her normally cool and aloof eyes were tinged with a bit of hesitation.
“What’s wrong?”
Lin Muyu noticed her unusual behavior and asked in confusion.
“That… may I hug you…”
Su Wanqing’s voice was very soft, carrying a trace of girlish shyness.
Although the 2 of them were currently squeezed in Xinlian’s embrace, they were only lightly touching side by side, which couldn’t really be considered a proper hug.
“…Hug if you want to.”
Lin Muyu helplessly rolled her eyes at her. In her view, this wasn’t really a request at all, it was clearly advance notice.
Because just as the words fell, Su Wanqing had already begun to turn, and her movements were swift and decisive, without any intention of discussing it with her.
Having no choice, Lin Muyu could only gently close her eyes, pretending she hadn’t seen anything, letting the other party adjust her position.
Seeing she hadn’t refused, Su Wanqing’s face showed a faint smile. She slowly turned around and gently hugged Lin Muyu’s waist.
Thus the 3 of them instantly formed the shape of a burrito, one layer wrapping another, pressed tightly together, the fragrance unique to young women permeating the air.
Of course, the one suffering most in this was Lin Muyu.
Su Wanqing had clearly been the one to actively seek a hug, but after embracing her, her body was shockingly hot, like she was carrying a small furnace, especially heated.
In contrast, Xinlian looked completely content.
The flame poison within her body was different from ordinary heat. Su Wanqing’s heat only counted as warmth to her.
But at this moment, under the suppression of Su Wanqing’s spirit root and Lin Muyu’s physique, that burning pain that had tormented her for so long was finally suppressed, allowing her to enjoy, after so long, peaceful times without being plagued by illness.
Although it was only temporary, this was what true comfort felt like.
……
“This is how you enjoy yourselves?!”
Xiao Bai had just stepped into Spirit Beast Peak when she immediately saw a group of foxes lazily sprawled on the grass sunbathing.
Some were curled up in balls, some were splayed out on their backs, they looked undisciplined beyond words.
Anger immediately surged in her heart, and her voice rose several notches.
Especially that gray fox, who had actually occupied the withered branch she used to lie on, its tail gently swaying, sleeping with a carefree expression.
Startled awake by Xiao Bai’s roar, the gray fox drowsily opened its eyes. Its gaze scattered as it swept around in a circle, its tone carrying the irritation of being just woken up:
“Yeah, who dares disturb this king’s sleep?”
“This king?”
Xiao Bai stared at the gray fox, her gaze falling on its cultivation level that had always remained at early Foundation Establishment without the slightest progress. The fire in her heart burned even hotter.
A Foundation Establishment fox dared to call itself king? It could only do that here with all these Qi Refining foxes.
In the Qiuqing fox clan, there had never been such lazy kin. Every single fox desperately cultivated. How could they be like these guys who only knew how to slack off all day?
“Eh? Sister Xiao Bai, you’re back!”
The gray fox finally became completely awake. After clearly seeing the figure before it, it was immediately frightened. Its previous arrogance vanished without a trace, and its tone became fawning as it wagged its tail ingratiatingly.
“Go right now and call all the fox clan members to assemble!”
Xiao Bai couldn’t be bothered to waste words with it. A snow-white tail behind her instantly extended, lightly coiling around and lifting up the gray fox. Her face wore a smile, but her tone was as cold as ice.
But in the gray fox’s eyes, this smile was even more frightening than the Grim Reaper’s cold laugh. All its fur stood on end, and it didn’t even dare to breathe heavily.
“That, that… can I ask, Sister, gathering everyone… what is it for?”
The gray fox’s body trembled as it asked in a stuttering voice, full of caution, its heart full of unease.
“What for?”
Xiao Bai chuckled lightly, but there wasn’t half a trace of warmth in her laugh.
“Extra training, of course~”
She absolutely would not allow any fox to desecrate the dignity of their clan!
This group of foxes had clearly forgotten that they were members of the demon race who survived on their own strength, not pets that could only rely on humans to feed them!
Xiao Bai wanted them to remember again that the pride of the fox clan had always been in cultivation and battle, not in these moments of comfort.
“Nooo… my leisurely days…”
The gray fox went limp on Xiao Bai’s tail, its voice full of despair.
The other foxes sunbathing in the surroundings all wanted to run when they saw this scene, but they were all swept back by Xiao Bai’s tail.
“Don’t even think about slacking off either.”
Just as Xiao Bai was triumphantly placing the despairing foxes in front of her, an unfamiliar voice startled Xiao Bai so badly that her fur bristled.
“Fellow daoist, we meet again.”
The voice was ethereal, coming from who knows where.
“Who is it?!”
Xiao Bai instantly entered an alert state.
“Peak Master, save us!”
The gray fox immediately shouted loudly upon hearing this voice, as if encountering a savior.
“Peak Master?”
Xiao Bai’s heart skipped a beat. Could it be someone as formidable as Xinlian?
Why hadn’t she encountered them when she came before?
