Chapter 266: Lin Xiao carelessly loses three bloods at number 140! It's her! If I had known boys could also be......_4
Gazing at the tall figure in front of him that he had yearned for day and night, Lin Xiao spoke from the heart. Of course, the second sentence was spoken in his heart.
「The Sacred Beast Garden.」
"Yingying, that's what Eldest Senior Brother wanted to say," Lin Xiao began, his voice tinged with guilt as he held the young maiden's soft, smooth abdomen and habitually inhaled the fragrance of her twin ponytails. "Eldest Senior Brother truly likes you. However, my engagement to Sister Yurong has already been announced to the entire sect. Furthermore, the Master's command cannot be disobeyed. Alas, this is an unchangeable fact."
However, to his surprise, the little girl was unexpectedly optimistic this time! Her adorable, makeup-free face, as fair and exquisite as carved jade, broke into a radiant smile. She even extended her small hand to pat his shoulder, comfortingly saying, "It's okay, Eldest Senior Brother! As long as it's Sister Yurong, everything will be fine! In the end... you're still Yingying's~"
"Huh?"
Lin Xiao was slightly stunned, partly understanding and partly puzzled.
Seeing the young maiden let out a coquettish giggle and move as if to lift her skirt again, Lin Xiao quickly reached out to stop her, "Don't! Resist the urge! Eldest Senior Brother is getting married tomorrow. Let's... do it another day... Ack, no! I mean, let's discuss it another day!"
Lu Yingying's white pantyhose had undergone her special tailoring! He could only imagine the spectacle that would unfold if she lifted her skirt! With such a major event imminent, he absolutely had to control himself!
"Alright, alright, Eldest Senior Brother, go prepare for your wedding tomorrow."
Lu Yingying turned around, planted a kiss on his lips, then made a playful face and said, "Yingying has to get busy too~"
"Wait a minute!"
Lin Xiao suddenly realized something was amiss. "You... you rascal, why didn't you return to the mountain after stabling Queen Ye's royal Spirit Steed in the Sacred Beast Garden today? What on earth are you scheming in the Sacred Beast Garden?"
"Heh heh, Eldest Senior Brother will find out tomorrow~"
Lu Yingying winked mischievously. "At Eldest Senior Brother and Sister Yurong's wedding tomorrow, Yingying will definitely present a gift that will stun everyone~" She added another playful wink.
Although her tone was endearingly naive and cute, for some reason, it sent shivers down Lin Xiao's spine! He wanted to ask more, but the young maiden had already mounted the Lion Hawk Beast named "Meow" and flown off into the distance.
Wait, the direction she's heading... That's the Hidden Dragon Pool! The burial ground of the Eight-clawed White Hornless Dragon, the sect-protecting sacred beast left behind by the Founding Ancestor!
Sigh, these are tumultuous times. I really hope that girl doesn't stir up any trouble, Lin Xiao mused.
「Deep into the night.」
「Phoenix Caw Peak, the Chairman's great hall, the back garden.」
A woman with her hair in a noblewoman's coiffure and possessing a stunning, voluptuous figure was clad in a sheer nightgown. She reclined elegantly on a jade couch, her full yet beautifully curved legs gracefully crossed. At this moment, she held a wine jug in one hand, drinking from it incessantly.
"Master, I beg you, please stop drinking! This is already your tenth jug of Immortal Brew! If you continue, even your Nine Heavens Divine Phoenix Body won't be able to withstand it!" the elegant young woman standing attentively by her side urgently pleaded.
"What? If your Uncle Master Xiao can drink, why can't I, your Master?" Su Mei let out a cold snort, a trace of jealousy flashing through her sultry, passionate eyes. "Wanning, don't bother trying to persuade me today. Your Master is feeling dreadful! I absolutely won't stop until I've drunk my fill!"
"Master..." Zhu Wanning's eyes instantly reddened. She asked timidly, "Is Master upset because of me, Wanning?"
"What else could it be?" Su Mei said coldly. "You child, ever since you were little, you've always been so competitive, striving to be first in everything. Now, that Guo Yourong has snatched away your beloved! Why didn't you make your position clear today?"
"Not only that, but you... you're acting as if nothing is wrong! Sigh! I truly don't understand you." The more Su Mei thought about it, the angrier she became, and she gulped down another mouthful of strong liquor. However, as she drank too forcefully, she couldn't help but start coughing uncontrollably.
Zhu Wanning shook her head and said, "Master, you only see the surface. But I, Wanning, see into a person's heart."
"Senior Brother Lin... he has me in his heart!"
"I believe that before the wedding, he will personally come and give me, Wanning, an explanation!"
Her beautiful eyes gazed with determination towards Divine Phoenix Peak in the distance.
"Nonsense." Su Mei snorted contemptuously. "You silly girl. If that man truly had you in his heart, would he agree to marry another woman?"
"This..." Zhu Wanning hesitated for a moment, then said resolutely, "Senior Brother Lin... he must have his unavoidable difficulties! Besides, Master, you saw the situation today. If Senior Brother Lin had refused, what would Sister Yurong have done? Moreover, Uncle Master Xiao himself stepped forward to act as matchmaker. If Senior Brother Lin had rejected it then, how would you, as his master's contemporary and my Master, have maintained your dignity?"
"You..." Su Mei sighed softly and said, "You silly girl... so naive. Have you ever considered that everything he has shown you, everything he has done in your presence, might just be a lie to deceive you!"
Zhu Wanning gave a noncommittal smile, cupped her chin in her hands, and said, "If he's deceiving me, then so be it. It's like a moth; even knowing it will get burned, it still flies into the flame. Moths are just that foolish."
"You..." Su Mei was rendered completely speechless. She drained the remaining wine from the jug. After a long pause, she said softly, "Do you know what infuriates your Master the most?
"What infuriates me the most is that while I was contending with your Uncle Master Xiao, you, silly girl... you were still thinking of others!
"Are you truly my most beloved disciple?"
