Chapter 368: Fulfilling a Ghostly Urge
Xue Bilian, already shocked and angered by Lin Ye’s actions, turned to see Molly and Hong Chen arrive. She then redirected her anger towards Lin Ye, using her delicate fingers to gently pinch his ear. “Husband, I am the leader here. You won’t disrespect me, will you? Come back with me.”
To pacify Xue Bilian, Lin Ye pondered for a moment and decided to go all the way. He then boldly embraced her soft body and kissed her in front of Molly and Hong Chen.
Xue Bilian was taken aback by Lin Ye’s audacity. Her face flushed, and her body went limp as she collapsed into his arms, murmuring, “Little brother, this isn’t the place. Let’s go back, back to our world that belongs only to the two of us.” Molly and Hong Chen were terrified and quickly turned away, unable to bear watching. However, Molly finally couldn’t resist and secretly turned her head back, covering her eyes with her hands. Yet, she couldn’t help but peek through her fingers. Since she couldn’t have Lin Ye, what harm was there in a stolen glance? Molly thought to herself, driven by a strange impulse.
Suddenly, Lin Ye stopped and leaned over to look at Xue Bilian in his arms, a sly smile playing on his lips. “Leader, don’t worry, I won’t betray you. Later, we’ll go back to the room and enjoy ourselves. Okay?” Xue Bilian’s face burned, and her heart pounded. Leaning against Lin Ye, she panted, “You promised, no contact with other women. Even more so, no touching other women. I want you to belong only to me, forever. Can you do that?” As she finished speaking, her gaze flickered towards Molly and Hong Chen. Hong Chen, her face flushed, looked at the peach tree, her head bowed, silent. It seemed she had something on her mind.
Molly, seeing that the performance was over, no longer hesitated. She lowered her hands from her face and said with a smile, “Leader, aren’t we being too casual and disregarding your feelings entirely? If you’re angry, punish us. We promise no complaints.” “This is all due to my usual indulgence. It’s not your fault. What brings you here?” Xue Bilian asked.
Hong Chen replied, “We heard that the Little Fairy was captured by a monster and were very worried, so we came out to look for her. We didn’t expect to encounter the City Leader and Little Brother. Please punish us, Leader.” Xue Bilian smiled beautifully, “Since Little Brother is sure that the Little Fairy was captured by the Dwarf, I don’t think there’s any immediate danger to her life.” “What, the damned Dwarf again? That guy is everywhere, it’s infuriating,” Molly grumbled through gritted teeth.
Xue Bilian sighed and then shared her thoughts. She decided to put the matter aside for now, and everyone should split up and look in other places. They could discuss any findings later. Lin Ye agreed with Xue Bilian’s idea.
Molly and Hong Chen were a little reluctant. They wanted to accompany them. Molly, however, proposed her own view. She had a bad premonition, always feeling that this time the Dwarf capturing the Little Fairy was not as simple as before. The Dwarf must have ulterior motives. During the time she spent with the Dwarf, she noticed that he often peeked at the Little Fairy, and perhaps he had developed impure thoughts about her.
Molly’s words startled Lin Ye. Xue Bilian, however, seemed somewhat pleased, chuckling, “No way, a spirit of heaven and earth, how could he have such an interest in a mortal woman? Molly, I think you’re overthinking it. The Dwarf wouldn’t treat our sister like that, or I won’t let him get away with it.” Despite her words, she felt a little uneasy, knowing that what she said out loud was far from what she truly felt.
Lin Ye seemed to see through Xue Bilian’s intentions but did not expose her. He felt a bit pessimistic. His biggest regret was his inability to feign ignorance. His straightforward nature made him prone to revealing his true feelings when emotions flared. Not only Xue Bilian and Molly, but even Hong Chen could see through his thoughts at a glance. Although he repeatedly claimed he wouldn’t betray Xue Bilian, his facial expression betrayed his lie.
Upon returning to Feng Yue Xuan, Feng Yue had already woken up. She was sitting in the living room, awaiting their return. The maid, Xiao Hui, stood beside her. The moment Xue Bilian and the others walked in, a hint of worry flashed across Xiao Hui’s face. But the worry quickly vanished, replaced by a full smile. Feng Yue asked, “Leader, any news about the Little Fairy?”
Xue Bilian released Lin Ye’s hand and walked up to Feng Yue, gazing affectionately at her pale face. “She was taken by her master to Qingfeng Mountain for training. She’s fine.” “Leader, who is the Little Fairy’s master? I’ve never heard of him,” Xiao Hui asked softly. Feng Yue shot her a look. “A mere maid, why are you interrupting? Stand aside.” “Oh.” Xiao Hui gave a wry smile, pouting reluctantly, and returned to her room.
Xue Bilian said, “Come, let’s discuss our next course of action. Little Brother, you’ll be responsible for taking Molly and Hong Chen through the hellish passage in the palace to meet your mother. See if you can persuade her to meet with me. I want to discuss cooperation with her regarding Fei Bu Fan. I’ve thought it through, and without your mother’s help, it will be very difficult to deal with Fei Bu Fan. This is our last resort, we have to take this risk.” Lin Ye replied, “You’ve mentioned this to me before, and I’ve considered it. The problem is the time constraint. I’m afraid my mother won’t agree.” He then looked at Molly, Hong Chen, and Feng Yue, hoping to hear their opinions. After all, they were all influential figures in the Demon Search.
Molly said, “Leader, Little Brother’s concerns are valid. Only two days have passed, perhaps we should wait a bit longer.” Hong Chen and Feng Yue also agreed with Lin Ye’s statement. This matter was of great importance, and failure would mean the shattering of all hope. Without sufficient certainty, a rash decision couldn’t be made. Xue Bilian knew their concerns were reasonable, but due to her emotional turmoil, she was anxious and couldn’t wait any longer. She said, “I’ve made up my mind. Before the Little Fairy returns, we must resolve this. The three of you go back and prepare. I’ll await your good news.” “Oh, then it’s settled. Sister Molly, Sister Hong Chen, let’s go,” Lin Ye said.
Molly and Hong Chen, seeing Lin Ye’s agreement, didn’t hesitate further and left Feng Yue Xuan with him. Xue Bilian remained to take care of Feng Yue. Feng Yue was her sister, and she had to do this. Moreover, Feng Yue had many loyal sisters under her command, and losing her help would mean losing a significant portion of their strength. The current situation in Ming Du was precarious, and Feng Yue couldn’t afford any mishap. Xue Bilian had always thought this way.
Feng Yue understood Xue Bilian’s intention and said nothing. She had already decided that if Xue Bilian genuinely treated her well, she would break ties with Fei Bu Fan and no longer betray Xue Bilian by helping Fei Bu Fan attack Ming Du.
