Immortal Fairies Always Have Designs on Me

"You don't trust me." Xiao Yinruo's smile faintly faded: "I understand your worries, but I hope you don't overthink this matter."

"Fine, even if I don't overthink, what about Jin'an?" Pei Wanyu looked at her: "I can't control his thoughts!"

"That's why I said earlier, just don't forgive me." Xiao Yinruo took a deep breath: "I absolutely don't have the 'humans and demons are different' mindset towards you. What happened tonight was indeed my fault, you just need to pretend not to forgive me.

Then keep this matter a secret from him and Nanzhi, and in the end, there will be no impact."

Listening to her voice, Pei Wanyu rubbed her forehead: "Everything you say implies that if I do this, I won't have to worry about you stealing Jin'an... You really do underestimate me."

Xiao Yinruo's expression froze: "Can you not overthink...?"

Her voice paused, apparently she herself was overthinking tonight...

No wonder they ended up becoming friends, even though they were once rivals on the Immortal Path.

Xiao Yinruo sighed softly, her brows relaxing a bit as she sat back on the chair: "You don't trust Jin'an?"

"Precisely because I trust him, I know his temperament." Pei Wanyu said blandly: "This child's possessiveness is much stronger than you imagine."

"So what do you suggest we do?" Xiao Yinruo slightly bowed her head, a hint of guilt flashing in her eyes. Though her intentions tonight were good, she indeed became closer with Jin'an.

And from previous probing, she indeed understood that this child liked her.

And now she has deepened Wanyu's misunderstanding, what if Nanzhi found out about this, where would she put her face?

She had unintentionally given him hope when she hugged him in Jing'an City before, and tonight she did it again... If the child really pursued her, what should she do?

Xiao Yinruo stopped her wandering thoughts, no, this issue must be resolved.

She took a deep breath, looking at Pei Wanyu seriously and said: "You come up with a solution, I'll follow it."

Pei Wanyu turned her head to the bed, a sly glint in her eyes, temporarily setting the stage for Yinruo's slight possessiveness towards Jin'an.

'Sigh, the good disciple just needs to develop feelings with her, but as her Master, I need to consider more. Though to make her fall for him, it requires reducing the guilt in her heart, but it might not work on Yinruo.'

'Yinruo practices the Forget Love Path, she is conservative in nature, so for her, you should go against this by continuing to increase her guilt, making her constantly think about Jin'an in her remorse, leading to an uncontrollable explosion of emotions...'

Pei Wanyu thought, then sighed softly: "I said in Jing'an City before, if you find he's not given up any thoughts of you, then you handle this yourself!"

Xiao Yinruo's expression changed slightly, and she quickly said: "I didn't agree, besides, you're so concerned about him, are you sure you won't help me?"

After a pause, she threatened: "Be careful, if he does chase after me, you'll have nowhere to cry!"

"But you caused all of this!" Pei Wanyu said expressionlessly: "I said back then, I didn't want a rift to arise between me and Jin'an because of your affairs.

Now you're closer to him than before, and you want me to be the bad guy, why should I?"

"It was unintentional..." Xiao Yinruo opened her mouth, feeling more frustrated and guilty inside.

Her unintentional acts indeed caused 'serious' consequences.

Hugging him in Jing'an City was like this, and so is tonight.

"I know." Pei Wanyu took out a bottle of wine and poured herself a glass: "But now Jin'an is definitely more attentive to you, how can I help you?"

Xiao Yinruo watched as Pei Wanyu downed three glasses in one breath, then took a new glass from the table and said: "Pour one for me too."

"Pour it yourself!" Pei Wanyu pushed the bottle over: "You expect me to serve you?"

Xiao Yinruo drank a glass and leaned back against the chair, looking up at the ceiling, her long hair scattered like a waterfall: "I... let's not talk about this for now, let's drink!"

"Don't evade!" Pei Wanyu frowned at her: "If we don't solve this..."

"Then you won't forgive me?" Xiao Yinruo's eyes brightened: "Isn't this perfect? The matter is directly resolved! Jin'an will surely care about your feelings.

Now his affection for me certainly can't compare to you."

"Heh." Pei Wanyu snorted coldly: "Even so, he would still feel hurt..."

"Better a short pain than a long one!"

"You mean letting him bear the brunt of our mistake?" Pei Wanyu grabbed the bottle: "Not to mention I can't bear it, but as the Palace Master of Qingmiao Palace, how could you do that?"

"But I don't understand." Xiao Yinruo propped her chin with one hand: "I never thought he'd be so fickle, falling for me shortly after our first meeting. Does he have no resistance against older sisters?"

"You? Older sister?" Pei Wanyu gave her a disdainful look: "Where do you get the face?"

"Don't talk about these useless things." Xiao Yinruo drank wine: "I don't understand love either, now that it's like this, I don't know how to handle it..."

She sighed lightly: "This matter can't drag on, the more it drags, the more he'll think..."

As she spoke, she grabbed the wine bottle and drank from it, eventually putting it down with a "Duang": "The more Jin'an thinks, the more likely he'll take action. Should I speak tough words to him?"

"That's one way." Pei Wanyu said blandly: "Surely you can bring yourself to say tough words to him, right?"

"I..." Xiao Yinruo couldn't help but think about her ongoing Empathy with Qingyue.

If she really said tough words to Jin'an, then still empathized... Rejecting him on one hand while enjoying him otherwise?

Just thinking about it made her feel despicable!

No, empathizing was only for enhancing her abilities, not enjoyment.

But harshly rejecting him counts as remotely possessing her little man...

Xiao Yinruo pursed her lips, suddenly tapping the table: "Let's not talk about this for now, wine, let's drink first!

We'll think about the rest tomorrow, I'll definitely put your mind at ease!"

Her eyes lowered slightly, avoiding making eye contact with Pei Wanyu due to inner hesitation.

Escaping is shameful, but let's escape for a while first...
