Chapter 172: My Junior Brother Wen Always Keeps His Composure_2
"My divine soul isn't stronger than Yun Xinyue's, but if we were to truly clash, I'd still win." Wen Zhixing was very clear about this.
Yun Xinyue's divine soul was indeed powerful, and the Fortune Divine Devil Skill was truly unparalleled. Even though Wen Zhixing's divine soul was formed from the essence of the Nine Heavens Mysterious Thunder, it might not necessarily be stronger than hers. But the Nine Heavens Mysterious Thunder naturally possessed a restraining power over most divine souls. That was why he had been able to suppress Yun Xinyue the moment he appeared.
As for that Devil Qi, I deliberately conjured it just for show. In reality, it's utterly useless.
"Wen, who has come?" Just then, a charming voice slowly came from inside the house.
Instantly, everyone's attention was drawn to this voice.
Bai Luqiu had come out.
"Eh..." Liu Qingdai paused, slightly taken aback. This voice was extremely familiar, as if it was... Senior Sister Luqiu! Great! Luqiu is here too! Liu Qingdai was pleased. With Wen Zhixing and now Bai Luqiu, she finally had some support.
"Hmph!" Because of this voice's appearance, Yun Xinyue's thoughts stirred, and she took the opportunity to gracefully retreat by retracting her divine soul.
Wen Zhixing, who had no intention of fighting Yun Xinyue to the end to begin with, also retracted his divine soul upon seeing this.
"Wait a minute..." However, Wen Zhixing immediately felt that something was amiss. Mainly because he had just finished "sparring" with Bai Luqiu. Now, with Liu Qingdai here, he felt an inexplicable discomfort. Of the three women present, I've 'vigorously sparred' with two of them. As for Liu Qingdai, we've also had some ambiguous moments. Right now, I just hope Bai Luqiu doesn't act unnaturally.
The next moment, under the gazes of all three, Bai Luqiu, draped only in a light gauze, sauntered out from the house, her slender waist twisting. The flimsy undergarment she wore underneath was clearly visible. Bai Luqiu seemed a bit awkward; clearly, she was also a little embarrassed. The flush on her face had not yet completely faded.
"Luqiu... Luqiu, you...!" At the sight of Bai Luqiu, Liu Qingdai's smile stiffened, and she was instantly dumbfounded. Bai... Luqiu... how could she... how could she be wearing... so little?
Wen Zhixing's heart also skipped a beat. Damn it... What's with Bai Luqiu? What's she thinking, dressing like that... especially with Qingdai here? Oh, right! During our earlier 'sparring,' Bai Luqiu's clothes accidentally got torn. And her Storage Spiritual Tool was taken from her before, meaning she genuinely doesn't have suitable clothes to wear right now. But I never expected Bai Luqiu to actually come out dressed like this.
"Wang..." Bai Luqiu was about to greet him with a smile when she caught sight of a familiar figure not far away.
Qing... Qingdai... Her mind instantly went into turmoil. Seriously. I had no idea Liu Qingdai was here. Just now, while I was inside the house, I sensed some conflict involving Wen Zhixing. Unable to completely ignore it, I thought it over and decided to step outside. But I only heard Yun Xinyue's voice and didn't use my Divine Consciousness Power to sense the situation outside, so I wasn't aware there was a third person. As for this outfit... One, I genuinely had no other clothes. Two, I wanted to provoke Yun Xinyue a bit. Women, just like men, have possessive desires. I just wanted to show off my 'conquest.' Yes, Bai Luqiu was indeed being somewhat deliberate. But what she hadn't expected was for Liu Qingdai to actually appear.
Now, all three of them wore stiff expressions. Bai Luqiu's face suddenly turned crimson, a different shade than the earlier pink. Now her face was flushed red, a sudden sense of guilt overwhelming her. As her senior sister, how could I not know what Liu Qingdai is thinking?
"Tsk tsk, Wang, you really know how to enjoy yourself." Luckily, Yun Xinyue didn't notice the state of the other three, instead speaking with a hint of teasing in her voice. Such matters were all too normal in the Wonderous Palace.
"Yun, you must be joking. I don't know what brought you to me, but please feel free to speak." Upon hearing this, Wen Zhixing, in an attempt to change the subject, actually took the initiative to smile and speak first. Now I'm somewhat relieved that Yun Xinyue is present. Thank goodness you're here. Otherwise, I'd have no idea how to explain that situation just now. Regardless, he had to defuse the atmosphere first.
Even though Yun Xinyue found it strange how Wang Shouzhen's demeanor had changed so suddenly, she didn't want to waste time here and said, "Wang, by the Master's orders, Liu Qingdai will be acting as your furnace for the time being, and you may make use of her as you please. As for the subsequent plan, Qingdai will tell you about it."
"As a furnace?" Wen Zhixing couldn't help but glance at Liu Qingdai, who was standing nearby, her face expressionless. But upon close observation, one could see that her eyes were full of shock and bewilderment.
The girl was utterly baffled. Why would Luqiu be dressed like this? Liu Qingdai still couldn't comprehend. And why would Luqiu's face look like that…? Even if she was inexperienced, she had some notion of what such a situation implied.
"Qingdai is the daughter of the Righteous Sun Sect Leader, extremely important, you must understand," Yun Xinyue's eyes narrowed slightly as she cautioned.
"The daughter of the Righteous Sun Sect Leader... Okay, I understand." Seriousness spread across Wang Shouzhen's face as he nodded.
"Qingdai." Yun Xinyue turned her head to look at Liu Qingdai and said, "Stay put here for now and don't wander off."
"Yun, I understand." Liu Qingdai nodded, then took a deep breath and stepped forward. Gazing at the two, she said with an expressionless face, "Greetings, Wang. And... this senior sister."
"Greetings, Qingdai." Wen Zhixing and Bai Luqiu exchanged glances and greeted her, albeit reluctantly.
"Alright, I've delivered the person, so I shall take my leave now." Yun Xinyue had no intention of staying any longer. She had been curious to spar with Wang Shouzhen to test his strength, but considering the power Wang Shouzhen had just shown, she knew it wasn't wise to insist on such a thing. Most importantly, Wang Shouzhen's terrifying Constitution was somewhat alarming. Anyway, these are special times. Let's take it slow.
Wen Zhixing felt Liu Qingdai's gaze lingering on him, causing his scalp to tingle. Thus, he stepped forward, addressing Yun Xinyue, "Yun, let me walk you out."
"Hmph, there's no need." Yun Xinyue, however, was not appreciative and responded coldly. "Besides, something big is going to happen in the sect soon. Wang, the Master has ordered that you too should stay put here and not act alone." Now you're feigning politeness? You were quite arrogant just a moment ago!
With a flick of her sleeve, she transformed into a streak of light and departed.
Wen Zhixing froze, rooted to the spot. I was planning to slip away! If I'd known, I would've been a bit more polite to Yun Xinyue earlier. Great, now I have no excuse to leave.
After Yun Xinyue left, the atmosphere at the scene slowly began to change. All three of them remained silent. The quiet was unsettling.
Liu Qingdai's gaze was still fixed on the other two, filled with confusion and incomprehension. She still hadn't figured it out, just feeling an inexplicable sense of betrayal. But, if I really think about it, it's not like anyone actually betrayed me… Yet, upon seeing Bai Luqiu and Wen Zhixing together like this, her heart still grew restless.
Bai Luqiu slowly turned her head away, avoiding Liu Qingdai's gaze. She cursed herself inwardly, I must have been possessed to come out wearing so little! Now, how am I supposed to explain this?
Wen Zhixing also sighed internally. Sigh, why did she have to show up right now?
"Cough..." After a long silence, Wen Zhixing finally couldn't bear it any longer. It's up to me. Anyway, my relationship with Liu Qingdai is just that of an ordinary senior brother to a junior sister. It's only a little awkward that she caught me with Bai Luqiu.
However, before he could speak, Liu Qingdai inhaled deeply and took the initiative, "Luqiu, this house... am I not even allowed to enter?" Her voice was faint, carrying a touch of resentment.
"Of course, you can! Of course, Qingdai! What are you talking about?" Bai Luqiu's heart skipped a beat, and she hurriedly spoke, "Come on, let's go inside."
"Yes, let's go inside, quickly. Just now, we only wanted to keep Yun Xinyue out," Wen Zhixing added.
"That's a relief." Liu Qingdai seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, a smile appearing on her face as she walked towards the house.
