Chapter 75: Senior Sister, I Am Your Junior Sister
Huang Qi reached out a claw, and the expression on his face relaxed.
“Fortunately… fortunately, it wasn’t over-feminized.”
Huang Qi let out a long sigh of relief. That was his most important spiritual sustenance, and he absolutely couldn’t lose it easily.
Of course, for Huang Qi, it was good that it wasn’t over-feminized, but if there was no trace of feminization at all, then it wouldn’t necessarily be the case. There were still four or five fairies waiting for him, this imposter, outside.
Huang Qi didn’t forget his purpose for lying here. He quickly got up, then lifted his skirt and looked down. However, due to the stubborn obstruction of his chest, his line of sight could never reach his waist and abdomen.
Huang Qi was extremely anxious. He hastily got up, picked up the bronze mirror on the table, and aimed it at his lower abdomen. Upon seeing it, he was dumbfounded. It wasn’t that he hadn’t been feminized, but rather that he had been feminized too much.
At this time, Huang Qi’s waist was no longer stiff and thick as before. It looked slender enough to be held in one’s hand, and his skin was as smooth as congealed fat. Even when he lowered his head, his smooth skin showed no folds caused by excess flesh. With the slightest movement, it was as soft as a snake’s. Furthermore, his navel had become small and exquisite due to feminization, like a winter plum blossom falling in the snow.
Below his navel, however, it was still the same as before. The contrast between the two was unbearable.
Huang Qi’s face turned a little red as he put down his skirt. It took a long time for his brain to regain its thinking ability, and he immediately began to complain, “If you’re going to feminize me, just do it. Why make it so thin? What if my chest crushes it?”
Indeed, Huang Qi’s waist was now like a slender branch with flourishing fruits compared to the two burdens above, swaying precariously, which made him unable to help but worry.
“Fortunately, I am a cultivator now, and my physique is relatively strong. Otherwise, if I made any sudden movements, my waist might actually break.”
Huang Qi thought with lingering fear.
After his emotions calmed down slightly, Huang Qi began to consider his next move. Now that his waist had also become thinner, he no longer had to fear being exposed by those fairies. Therefore, it was time to leave the county town.
What about after that?
In fact, Huang Qi had already made up his mind. That was to rush to the HongHua Sect as soon as possible and get the things he wanted. The first was the Tooth Token, and the second was the Tongming Comb, assuming such a thing actually existed.
“I’ve been dreaming for so long, I don’t know how much time has passed in reality?”
Huang Qi was a little worried. After all, being unconscious was not like sleeping, which could replenish one’s energy. Therefore, the time left for him would not be recalculated because of this.
Huang Qi quickly got up and washed his face. While tidying his clothes, he subconsciously tightened his belt a little more, fearing that his waist would not be as thin as Hong Ling Fairy’s, and he would get into trouble again.
Huang Qi then walked out of the room. The moment he stepped over the threshold, his gaze was attracted by his shoes.
“No, my feet have not been feminized. They are so big. If those fairies see them, I’ll definitely be exposed.”
Huang Qi was shocked again.
“But why did Miao Xiang notice yesterday?”
Huang Qi was a little confused, but he quickly reacted. Yesterday, he was walking on flat ground and took smaller steps, so his feet were covered by his long skirt and not fully exposed. That’s why Miao Xiang didn’t notice. Similarly, it should have been the same when he met Ruan Lingyu that day.
Huang Qi gasped. He didn’t expect that he had actually gone through the gates of hell, so he quickly took smaller steps.
Huang Qi went downstairs and asked the shopkeeper about the time. He learned that it was only the second day, and he felt a little relieved. So he hurriedly went out and headed towards the north gate, because the HongHua Sect was in the north.
Huang Qi quickened his pace as he reached the street. Firstly, he didn’t have much time left, and secondly, his current appearance still had flaws. Although his unfeminized feet were concealed by the long skirt, they were not seamless. Therefore, he absolutely could not get into any more trouble.
Unfortunately, things didn’t go as planned. To avoid being caught, Huang Qi deliberately walked through quiet places. However, as he passed through a quiet alley, a tall figure blocked his way.
Huang Qi, already guilty of his actions, was directly startled. When he looked closely, he felt like crying, for the person blocking his way was none other than Fairy Ruan Lingyu, whom he hadn’t seen for several days.
Huang Qi didn’t forget that he not only took twenty taels of silver from her for free but also took advantage of her, although it was all passive.
“If she recognizes me, I’ll definitely be dismembered.”
Huang Qi didn’t doubt this at all, and his heart began to beat wildly.
“Take off your veil!”
Ruan Lingyu’s tone was calm, but her beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, revealing killing intent.
Huang Qi didn’t dare to be reckless at all. He slowly took off his veil, and the sound of his heart beating grew louder and louder, to the point where he suffered from tinnitus.
“As expected, it’s you, you imposter! How dare you impersonate our Junior Sister? Not only did you cheat me out of twenty taels of silver, but you also took advantage of…”
Ruan Lingyu became enraged as she spoke, and one of her jade-like hands had already reached for the hilt of her sword.
“Senior Sister, it’s me! I’m your Junior Sister!”
Seeing that something was wrong, Huang Qi quickly stated his identity. He knew that his only way to survive was to impersonate Hong Ling Fairy and pass it off as the real thing.
“Ju… Junior Sister?”
Ruan Lingyu was stunned when she heard Huang Qi’s voice. The hand that was about to draw her sword froze in mid-air. Second Junior Sister had analyzed that the imposter was most likely a man. Although she had refuted it verbally, it was only for face. In fact, she agreed with it in her heart. The reason was simple: besides his physical characteristics resembling a man’s, he also pretended to be mute, wasn’t this to hide his gender? Therefore, it was absolutely impossible for him to make a sound like Junior Sister.
“It’s me, who were you just talking about impersonating me?”
Huang Qi asked, pretending to be unaware.
“You… aren’t you in seclusion? How did you appear here?”
Ruan Lingyu’s mouth was slightly agape, and her expression was exactly the same as Miao Xiang’s.
“I just finished my seclusion, and Master assigned me to complete a secret mission here.”
Huang Qi lied, trying to remain calm.
“Is that so?”
Ruan Lingyu was noncommittal, then requested, “Raise your hands and let me see.”
Huang Qi knew that he was the fish and she was the knife, so he obediently complied. His white and tender hands were revealed from his sleeves. His index fingers were like shallot segments, his skin was like milk, and his pink fingernails were naturally enchanting, as if flowing smoothly in the dim alley.
“Huh? It really is you! Junior Sister!”
Ruan Lingyu had no choice but to believe him now. She put away her guard and walked up.
Huang Qi didn’t dare to relax at all, because he knew that the closer she got, the more likely he was to be exposed.
Ruan Lingyu walked up close, then leaned her jade-like nose to sniff him like a puppy, and then narrowed her beautiful eyes, revealing an infatuated expression, “As expected, it’s the scent of the Golden Life Flower.”
“Golden Life Flower?”
Huang Qi’s heart stirred. This was the second time he had heard someone mention the Golden Life Flower in reality.
“If what happened in the dream is true, then it means Hong Ling Fairy has already drunk the Pink Bamboo Water.”
Huang Qi speculated, but at this moment, he suddenly thought of something very strange.
“That’s not right. I’m an imposter. I haven’t eaten the seeds of the Golden Life Flower, nor have I taken the Pink Bamboo Water, so why do I still have the scent of the Golden Life Flower on me?”
Huang Qi’s brain stopped working for a moment.
“Junior Sister, you don’t know, but there’s a guy in this county town impersonating you. Master doesn’t know his intentions, so he sent us to capture him.”
Ruan Lingyu was completely defenseless now. She affectionately held Huang Qi’s hand and complained.
Huang Qi felt the slipperiness in his hand and immediately snapped out of his daze. As a gentleman, he wanted to struggle, but he was afraid of arousing suspicion, so he could only say helplessly, “Oh, Heavens, please see clearly, she initiated this, and I didn’t want to take advantage.”
“Is that so? Then what do you plan to do with him after you catch him?”
Huang Qi seized the opportunity to inquire.
“Kill him, what else?”
Ruan Lingyu replied casually, her beautiful, watery eyes greedily fixed on Huang Qi, as if looking at a treasure.
“What?”
Huang Qi shivered, almost wetting himself from fear.
“Although our HongHua Sect is not strong, it is a Celestial Sect after all. How can we tolerate others impersonating our disciples? Moreover, your identity is so special, so Master wants us to kill the chicken to warn the monkeys.”
Ruan Lingyu explained, her jade-like hand still affectionately caressing Huang Qi’s palm.
“Then… then I’ll trouble all the Senior Sisters.”
Huang Qi said, steadying himself.
“It’s nothing.”
Ruan Lingyu smiled charmingly and suggested, “Let’s not just stand here. Let’s find a tea house to sit down.”
“No, the mission Master assigned is very urgent, and I need to complete it immediately.”
Huang Qi didn’t dare to linger anywhere and made an excuse to escape.
“Ah? So urgent! Then forget it. Let’s get together again after we sisters go back.”
Ruan Lingyu said with some regret. Then she took out a silver ingot from her embrace and stuffed it into Huang Qi’s hand, saying, “This is the twenty taels of silver that Senior Sister owes you!”
Huang Qi was stunned. He knew that he had just taken twenty taels from her for free a few days ago, and now he had no shame in taking it again, so he hurriedly refused, “No, no, no.”
“You must accept it. Although we have a good relationship, as the saying goes, even brothers need to settle accounts clearly. If you refuse, how can I have the face to borrow money from you in the future when I encounter difficulties?”
Ruan Lingyu insisted on giving the silver to Huang Qi. Although she had already returned it before, that was given to the “imposter.”
Huang Qi’s identity was sensitive, and he didn’t dare to linger, so he could only accept it passively, intending to return it to her with interest later.
“Goodbye, Senior Sister!”
Huang Qi quickly said goodbye, but after walking a few steps, he was truly unwilling, so he turned around and tentatively asked, “By the way, Senior Sister, have you seen my Tongming Comb?”
