It seemed like catching someone in the act.
Wu Longyue, who was like this, actually said she was afraid of the dark.
Song Cha couldn’t understand how Wu Longyue managed to say such a thing.
However, the most terrifying part wasn’t discovering the truth.
The most terrifying part was that Song Cha already knew Wu Longyue wasn’t afraid of the dark.
If Song Cha hadn’t been pretending to be gentle all this time, she could have easily sent Wu Longyue away, letting the one who pretended to be afraid of the dark find a place to sleep on her own.
But Song Cha was someone who pretended to be gentle.
She simply couldn’t send Wu Longyue away; in fact, not only could she not send her away, but she also had to help Wu Longyue resolve this trouble.
Song Cha furrowed her brows, “Longyue, are you really afraid of the dark?”
Wu Longyue answered without hesitation, “Yes.”
Song Cha: “……”
Song Cha was a green tea girl, a green tea girl with a personality.
The thing she hated the most was being deceived by others and then being unable to lose her temper due to her pretentious nature.
So, when faced with such situations, Song Cha would usually give them a bad answer while appearing kind.
Thinking of this, a sincere expression appeared on Song Cha’s face: “Longyue, my master doesn’t allow anyone else to stay in my cave.”
Wu Longyue: “……”
Hearing Song Cha’s words, Wu Longyue felt a bit unhappy.
Why didn’t Song Cha’s master allow her to stay in Song Cha’s cave?
Was there some other reason?
But no matter how she thought about it, Wu Longyue couldn’t come up with a real reason.
They were the best of friends; wasn’t it a good thing to stay in the cave of her best friend?
Wu Longyue wanted to say something more, but before she could open her mouth, Song Cha continued speaking.
“Sister Longyue, how about I take you to the guest courtyard of the sect? I’ll light a lamp for you before I leave.”
Wu Longyue: “……”
In the small courtyard where the sect receives guests, should she light a lamp and then leave?
This was completely beyond Wu Longyue’s imagination.
Naturally, Wu Longyue wouldn’t let this happen.
Furrowing her brows, Wu Longyue asked, “Sister Song Cha, can I really not go to your cave dwelling?”
Song Cha: “……”
Wu Longyue continued, “But I’m so scared. If I can’t go to Sister Song Cha’s cave dwelling, can you come to my small courtyard to keep me company?”
After saying this, Wu Longyue looked at Song Cha with pleading eyes.
Song Cha: “……”
Wu Longyue’s gaze was so expressive, a mix of fear and worry.
Being looked at like this made it seem as if not accompanying Wu Longyue would be an unforgivable sin.
Under such a gaze, Song Cha began to feel conflicted.
It had been a long time since Wu Longyue had seen her, and now she had come to find her.
If she were cold to Wu Longyue right after their reunion, what would Wu Longyue think of her?
Would Wu Longyue’s feelings for her continue to deepen?
Thinking of this, Song Cha finally remembered her goal.
Her goal was to replace Long Aotian in this world, to seize Long Aotian’s opportunities and harem, and to make them like her.
Among Long Aotian’s harem were Shao Yumiao, Chu Man, Huan Shi, You Ming An, and Wu Longyue.
Of these five, the others seemed to like her very much, but Wu Longyue, having spent too little time with her, only regarded her as a friend.
So… actually, her most important target for he right now was Wu Longyue.
Because given the current situation, Wu Longyue was the most likely person to be won over by Long Aotian.
After all, she hadn’t spent too much time with Wu Longyue.
Thinking of this, Song Cha finally suppressed her frustration at being deceived and decided to seriously pursue Wu Longyue.
“Longyue, I’ll accompany you,” Song Cha replied decisively this time, having thought it through.
Hearing Song Cha’s words, Wu Longyue felt very happy inside.
The awakening of the witch clan’s bloodline is indeed a lengthy process.
Unlike the breakthroughs in cultivation that practitioners experience, the awakening of the witch clan’s bloodline requires a complete transformation from the inside out.
During the awakening, not only the bloodline but also the veins and spiritual roots undergo significant enhancement.
These enhancements take a long time to complete.
In the past, Wu Longyue didn’t pay much attention to this; even during her closed-door training, she wouldn’t miss anyone.
However, everything changed after Wu Longyue met Song Cha.
Wu Longyue felt she had found her best friend, and no matter what she was doing, she would always think of Song Cha.
During the long process of awakening her bloodline, the number of times Wu Longyue thought of Song Cha was countless.
Many times, Wu Longyue wanted to see Song Cha first before returning to her bloodline awakening.
But once the awakening of the witch clan’s bloodline began, it couldn’t be stopped.
So even though Wu Longyue missed Song Cha immensely, longing for her best friend, she still couldn’t see Song Cha.
After completing the bloodline awakening, the first thing Wu Longyue did was to find Song Cha.
Before leaving the witch clan, Wu Longyue imagined that when she saw Song Cha, they would be close and never part again.
However, she never expected that after arriving at Qingfeng Sect, it was already dark.
In such darkness, wouldn’t she have to part ways with Song Cha?
Nevertheless, thinking that Song Cha had finally agreed to accompany her, Wu Longyue couldn’t help but smile.
Now her wish had come true.
“Song Cha, your cultivation has broken through to the mid-Golden Core stage,” Wu Longyue, feeling happy that Song Cha agreed to accompany her, couldn’t help but chat with her, “That’s amazing!”
Song Cha: “……”
If someone else were to compliment her like this, Song Cha would definitely feel very pleased.
But the person praising her now is Wu Longyue, who has rapidly advanced from Qi Refining stage to the peak of Golden Core.
Song Cha is not happy at all.
However, even though she feels unhappy inside, Song Cha still puts on a facade: “Thank you, Longyue sister.”
Wu Longyue’s face turns a bit red.
The two continue towards the steward, preparing to ask him to arrange a small courtyard for Wu Longyue.
……
In front of Shao Yumiao’s door stood a woman of above-average appearance.
This woman was Hu Yue, whom Song Cha encountered at the clothing store during the day.
Hu Yue looked at the elegant small courtyard, bites her lip, and finally knocks on the courtyard door.
After a few knocks, the door opened from the inside.
Shao Yumiao stepped out from within.
Upon seeing that the person knocking is Hu Yue, her entire demeanor turns icy and cold, and she didn’t say a word.
Seeing the cold Shao Yumiao, Hu Yue felt a bit panicked.
During the day, she had seen Shao Yumiao from a distance in the store, and even then, she felt that Shao Yumiao exuded an intimidating presence.
Now, seeing Shao Yumiao up close, she felt that Shao Yumiao was extremely dangerous.
Under normal circumstances, she would avoid encountering Shao Yumiao.
But thinking of Song Cha, of the admirers who were taken away, and of the two attempts to harm Song Cha that ended in failure and punishment after being reported, Hu Yue was filled with anger.
If she wasn’t living well, then Song Cha cannot live well either.
With this thought, Hu Yue finally ignored the danger emanating from Shao Yumiao.
“F-fairy Shao Yumiao.”
Hu Yue’s voice trembled slightly, “I, I came to talk to you about Song Cha.”
Song Cha?
Upon hearing Hu Yue mention Song Cha, the previously impatient Shao Yumiao finally showed some interest.
The chill surrounding her lessened a bit: “Go on.”
Feeling that Shao Yumiao was no longer so cold, Hu Yue let out a sigh of relief in her heart and began to speak: “Shao Yumiao, I want to tell you that Song Cha is not as good as she seems on the surface.”
Shao Yumiao: “……”
Shao Yumiao quietly looked at Hu Yue, not saying a word.
Noticing Shao Yumiao’s silence, Hu Yue felt a bit more relaxed inside.
It seemed that Shao Yumiao didn’t mind her speaking ill of Song Cha.
Thinking of this, Hu Yue became bolder in her speech.
“Shao Yumiao, Song Cha is actually very vain; she loves to spend other people’s money. She also enjoys flirting around, being coy and elusive,” Hu Yue said.
Shao Yumiao: “……”
Shao Yumiao’s brows furrowed.
Seeing Shao Yumiao’s frown, Hu Yue felt a slight joy in her heart.
However, it was clear that Hu Yue’s thoughts were misguided.
Shao Yumiao did not doubt Song Cha in the slightest because of Hu Yue’s words.
How could someone as pure and kind as Song Cha be vain?
And the idea of her spending other people’s money, flirting around, and being coy was even more absurd.
Song Cha didn’t like spending other people’s money at all; even when she did spend her own, it was out of necessity.
As for flirting and being coy, the first person that came to Shao Yumiao’s mind was Chu Man.
But Chu Man was not someone Song Cha had flirted with; she was the one pursuing Song Cha, and Song Cha couldn’t shake her off even if she wanted to.
Did someone like that need Song Cha to flirt with her?
Song Cha was a straight woman, striving to accept the purity of women as a straight woman herself.
Thinking of this, Shao Yumiao’s gaze towards Hu Yue turned icy.
She despised those who slandered Song Cha the most.
This level of disdain was truly intense.
So intense that even during the Golden Core competition, where she had never drawn her sword and could defeat numerous opponents with just her sword intent, Shao Yumiao unsheathed her sword, the tip pointed straight at Hu Yue: “Slander her, and we shall duel.”
Hu Yue: “……”
Hu Yue, who was being threatened by the sword tip, was momentarily stunned.
She never expected that after saying so much, it would lead to such a result.
It seemed that Shao Yumiao was deeply infatuated with Song Cha.
Hu Yue felt a surge of jealousy.
Even at her peak, there had never been someone who trusted her like that.
Or rather, no matter how much someone had trusted her in the past, after encountering Song Cha, they would all turn against her.
Shao Yumiao’s trust in Song Cha made Hu Yue even more eager to expose Song Cha’s true nature in front of her.
She was incredibly curious to see what expression Shao Yumiao would have at that moment, and how she would retaliate against Song Cha when faced with her duplicity!
But how could she make Shao Yumiao realize Song Cha’s true nature?
Just as Hu Yue was deep in thought, familiar voices drifted from a distance.
“Longyue, you are of course my best friend.”
Song Cha’s voice came from afar, gentle and soft.
Hu Yue: “……”
Hu Yue didn’t take Song Cha’s words to heart upon hearing them from a distance.
Just best friends, it was merely the most common phrase.
But just when Hu Yue wasn’t paying much attention, she noticed that Shao Yumiao’s sword tip trembled slightly as it pointed at her.
Hu Yue: “……”
Feeling this change, Hu Yue focused all her attention.
It was important to note that for such a long time prior, Shao Yumiao’s sword tip had never moved an inch, but now it was shaking.
There was a problem.
Hu Yue wanted to say something, but then she saw Shao Yumiao’s sword tip again.
As Hu Yue was conflicted about whether she should mock Song Cha a bit, fearing that Shao Yumiao might strike her down with a single blow, she realized that Shao Yumiao’s sword was no longer aimed at her.
Or rather, Shao Yumiao had already walked away with her sword.
Hu Yue felt that this situation was even more problematic.
She followed closely behind Shao Yumiao, heading in the direction where Song Cha was speaking.
Cultivators have extremely sharp senses, and if they wanted to listen closely, they could hear clearly even from a distance.
Hu Yue extended a part of her spiritual sense, and the sounds became much clearer.
“Sister Song Cha, I’ve really missed you these past few days. Ever since my bloodline awakened, I’ve been thinking about you. Now that I can see you, I’m so happy.”
A girl’s voice, somewhat coy, was sweetly speaking to Song Cha.
“Silly Longyue, sister is at Qingfeng Sect, there’s no need to be so anxious.”
“Sister Song Cha, it’s so dark on this road, I’m scared. Can Longyue hold your hand?”
“Of course Longyue can hold my hand.”
Song Cha’s voice was filled with affection.
Hu Yue: “……”
Listening clearly to Song Cha’s voice, Hu Yue felt somewhat speechless.
The person named Longyue spoke in an overly clingy manner, as if she were sweet-talking a lover.
And then there was Song Cha, with such a doting tone, it was simply strange.
Just as she was thinking this, Hu Yue looked up and saw Shao Yumiao’s icy cold face.
Hu Yue felt even more puzzled.
Shao Yumiao’s cold expression seemed as if she was about to catch someone cheating.
Hu Yue shook her head, dismissing this completely impossible thought.
Meanwhile, Shao Yumiao maintained her frosty demeanor and continued walking towards Song Cha.
This time, Shao Yumiao walked quickly and soon spotted Song Cha’s figure.
As soon as she saw Song Cha, the chill around Shao Yumiao intensified.
At that moment, Song Cha was walking ahead, and beside her stood a beautiful woman in green.
The woman in green had her arms wrapped around Song Cha’s arm, looking at her while playfully shaking her arm.
“Song Cha, sister, it’s getting darker and darker, I’m really scared. Can you hold me?”
Wu Longyue said playfully to Song Cha.
Shao Yumiao’s expression darkened.
