Chapter 147: The Great Female Protagonist, *Gasp*—
“You, you, you…”
Xiao Yunluo pursed her lips, her gaze flitting back and forth. Seeing Ye Anping, who was now clinging to her shoulder, staring intently at her face, she felt a mix of suspicion and anticipation. Could it be that he liked her? His previous words had certainly sounded flirtatious.
“Why are you staring at my face?”
“…”
Ye Anping was momentarily stunned. He quickly averted his gaze, realizing that his earlier words had been a combination of dopamine and hormones triggered by the scent on Xiao Yunluo, bypassing his conscious thought. Perhaps due to extreme exhaustion, his rational mind was already begging for sleep, leaving only instinct in his consciousness. This instinct, in turn, was the adolescent instinct of his nearly seventeen-year-old body. In other words, Xiao Yunluo’s fragrance had awakened his desires, making him crave her body.
Ye Anping glanced down at the pants of his night clothes and quickly held his breath, tucking his hips back to make the “small tent” less noticeable. “Ah, my body is at that age now.”
“?”
Xiao Yunluo didn’t understand and asked with a confused expression, “What… what age?”
“…”
Ye Anping didn’t reply. He slowly brought his face closer to Xiao Yunluo’s hair, closed his eyes, and took a deep breath. At the same time, he wrapped his arms around her neck, leaning his upper body entirely against her back.
!!!
Xiao Yunluo’s body stiffened instantly, her back becoming ramrod straight and her muscles taut, like a statue. *What do you want to do?! Why are you smelling my hair?! Why are you suddenly hugging me?! This young lady isn’t someone you can just hug…* Several sentences were trapped in her throat, yet she couldn’t utter a single one. After a moment of hesitation, she finally relaxed her body, closed her eyes, and surrendered control to Ye Anping. In her heart, she began to apologize to Pei Lianxue: *I’m sorry, Lianxue! It’s not my fault! This… this is really him making the first move…*
Ye Anping, inhaling the scent of Xiao Yunluo’s hair, felt two consciousnesses battling within him. However, due to fatigue, his normally powerful “reason” was being beaten down by “instinct.”
“Instinct” punched “Reason” in the face: “You know Xiao Yunluo likes you. You can do whatever you want with her, turn her into your servant.”
“Reason” grit its teeth and grabbed “Instinct’s” hand: “…Think about Xiyue Girl!! Didn’t you swear to only be devoted to Xiyue Girl?”
“What’s so good about being devoted? Isn’t it better to have more? Xiao Yunluo has great wealth and beauty, and Si Xuanji entrusted her to you.”
“Then think about Feng Yu Die!! If you reject Xiao Yunluo now, what’s the difference between you and Feng Yu Die, who has his brain in his lower half?!”
At this very moment, a red light suddenly emanated from “Instinct.” The once slender “Instinct” transformed into a muscular strongman in an instant.
Watching the two figures battling in his mind like a wrestling match, Ye Anping frowned slightly. He immediately mobilized his spiritual sense to explore the meridians of his body, only to find that his Yang Energy had already begun to spread. Feeling a sense of dread, he immediately released Xiao Yunluo, using his spiritual energy to forcibly suppress the Yang Energy within him, and sprinted towards the back hall.
“Ah?!”
Xiao Yunluo was stunned. Watching Ye Anping’s retreating figure, she pursed her lips. *Why did it end like this… I was already prepared to be kissed against the wall by Ye Anping, but…* Xiao Yunluo shook her head and quickly followed him.
“Ye Anping! What’s wrong?”
“…”
Ye Anping didn’t reply, gritting his teeth and running with all his might. The situation was dire. His body had just experienced a fierce battle, his meridians were still injured and unhealed, and the spiritual energy in his sea of qi was almost depleted. If he didn’t resolve the Yang Energy quickly, he would likely suffer meridians rupture and explode.
Arriving at the back hall door, Ye Anping impatiently ripped off the doorframe with a punch.
*Boom—*
Liang Zhu, who was meditating and cultivating qi inside the back hall, was startled by the sound. He looked up at Ye Anping with confusion, his heart tightening as he saw the anxiety in his sixth brother’s eyes. It was the first time he had seen such an expression on his face.
“What happened?”
Ye Anping ignored him, sweeping his gaze around. He spotted his junior sister meditating and cultivating qi by the other side and immediately ran to her. Feng Yu Die also looked bewildered, “Young Master Ye, what’s wrong?”
Xiao Tian, sitting on Feng Yu Die’s shoulder, flew up and asked with curiosity, “Young Master Ye, what’s wrong… No, what’s wrong with you? This Yang Energy suddenly…”
“…”
Ye Anping glanced at Feng Yu Die, then directly grabbed Pei Lianxue by the shoulder, pulled her up from the ground, and quickly rushed out of the back hall into the corridor. Pei Lianxue’s delicate eyebrows furrowed. She felt Ye Anping’s grip on her shoulder painfully tight, but she stayed silent, assuming it was a matter of great urgency.
Reaching a pillar in the corridor, Ye Anping turned around and pressed her against it. “Junior Sister, I’m sorry.”
“Mm…”
Pei Lianxue nodded, half-understanding, not knowing why Ye Anping was apologizing. Seeing her nod, Ye Anping removed the bandage from his lips and the bandage from Pei Lianxue’s face.
“Huh?! Woo—”
Their eyes met, and their lips touched. Pei Lianxue’s eyes widened. She felt hot saliva flowing into her mouth, unsure what to do.
“Ye Anping, you…”
At this moment, Xiao Yunluo also caught up and witnessed the scene. Her voice stopped abruptly, and she stood frozen. The mountain wind rustled, and the bright moon shone. Moonlight spilled over the two figures whose lips were connected, like a spotlight on a stage. Xiao Yunluo realized she was now just an observer. She pursed her lips, moved to the side, leaned against another pillar, looked up at the moon, and slowly raised her hand to touch her lips. “Well, I am a latecomer, after all.”
After a long while, Ye Anping pushed himself away from his junior sister’s lips, propping himself up on the pillar. Seeing her dewy orange eyes, he felt an inexplicable sense of guilt. “Junior Sister, Senior Brother, I…”
Before he could finish, Pei Lianxue suddenly lunged forward, stood on her tiptoes, and pressed her lips against his.
*Peck—*
Ye Anping looked surprised. After his junior sister’s heels touched the ground, he asked, “Junior Sister, you are…”
Pei Lianxue didn’t speak. She stood on her tiptoes again.
*Peck—*
“Junior Sister… wait, you…”
*Peck—*
“Let me speak first…”
*Peck—*
“…”
*Peck—*
“Junior Sister, you…”
*Peck—*
“Can you first…”
*Peck—*
“Stop kissing, haven’t I…”
*Peck—*
“Taught you that interrupting someone is rude.”
“…”
Hearing this, Pei Lianxue finally stopped standing on her tiptoes. Her hands rested on Ye Anping’s chest, her head tilted back as she stared directly into his eyes. Her dewy orange eyes trembled with longing, and she finally spoke two words: “Like.”
Ye Anping felt as if his lips were being gnawed off by his junior sister, but looking at her innocent eyes, he couldn’t get angry. “Alright, stop kissing. Senior Brother will explain when we get back.”
“Mm…” (I’ll kiss you again when we get back.)
At this moment, Xiao Yunluo, who had been hiding behind the adjacent pillar, emerged. Her eyes were red from tears, and she clutched her chest before scolding, “Hmph, Ye Anping, you hypocrite! You’re kissing another girl out here, it’s simply immoral and chaotic!” After her outburst, Xiao Yunluo sniffled loudly, “Huuu—”
