Chapter: 62. Going Out? (4000-word Chapter)
On this night, the big fish in the lake swam freely at the bottom, particularly carefree.
Ah… the big fish were truly sentimental.
On this starry night…
There was actually no witch blowing up fish!
There’s nothing that can be done; witches aren’t always so leisurely~
The lake breeze fluttered, causing the two rose bushes growing beside the lake to sway unsteadily.
The blue rose seemed to want to fly away with the wind towards the lake’s surface, while the red rose tightly wrapped its petals around the blue rose, pressing it down to the point of gasping for air.
Even if the blue rose wanted to struggle, it was powerless to change its fate.
Before long, when the wind calmed, the two differently colored roses had entangled together, their vines wrapping around each other, leaves enfolding petals, and petals bending the vines.
Inextricably intertwined, they nestled together and fought, as if in competition, yet lacking any actual comparability.
Perhaps the wind was too strong, stirring up the water that mirrored the starry sky, the sound of waves crashing against the rocks was so loud that the two rose bushes ultimately grew tired, falling silent as they intertwined.
Even when the wind resumed, they would no longer sway; it was as if they had fallen asleep, dreaming sweet dreams, fragrant with each other’s scent.
Well… this is probably why the big fish in the lake were enjoying a rare night of leisure!
Congratulations to the big fish, congratulations to the waves—most of all, congratulations to the roses.
………………………………….
The next morning, the Milky Way drifted away, and sunlight broke through.
When the first rays of morning sunshine landed on Princess Xue Fei’s snow-white skin, a pure beauty illuminated the scene.
She turned over…
Suddenly, a sharp pain in her waist and legs struck her like lightning!
“Ouch…! It hurts, it hurts…!!”
“Xue Fei?!”
The golden-haired girl, completely unclothed, was startled awake from her dream, sitting up abruptly and gazing warily at the side.
No danger.
Just a small cutie.
Xiya saw the naked Xue Fei next to her, clutching her delicate waist and moaning.
—Making a noise that was no less distorted than that of a little pig awaiting slaughter!
Could the proud Xue Fei endure such humiliation?!
She hastily grabbed the blanket that the two of them had shared, covering her beautiful figure, even burying her head under the blanket, leaving Xiya with an irritated exclamation.
“I’m talking in my sleep! I’m going back to sleep! Good night!”
“B-but it’s already noon, Xue Fei… still saying good night… I thought a little pig had run into the house with that sound just now…”
“Good night!”
“Alright then…”
Even if Xue Fei had crawled under the blanket, it was impossible for her to fall back asleep.
Because once awake, she naturally recalled her embarrassing state from last night.
And the more she remembered, the hotter her cheeks became; the hotter they felt, the more awake she became—a vicious cycle!
Under the blanket, Xue Fei unconsciously emitted a soft “muuhhh” sound, perhaps due to the lingering effects of last night.
That wicked Xiya… actually mentioned a little pig.
My waist, my legs! How did they end up being so sore? Can’t you have some awareness? You’re the culprit!
—Wasn’t it all because of you?!
Sigh, actually, Xue Fei could use healing magic to alleviate her sore waist and legs, but she chose not to.
Once she thought about the reason behind it… the girl curled up under the blanket couldn’t help but snuggle deeper into it, her cheeks burning, turning into a silver-haired ball, as adorable as a shy little kitten curled up in a cardboard box.
Because… only by temporarily preserving this soreness could she assure herself that everything that had happened last night was indeed real…
Xue Fei wasn’t idle under the blanket.
She kept her ears perked up, keenly listening to any noises outside the blanket.
Hmm… silly Xiya, why is there still no sound…
Hurry up and get dressed while I’m hiding under the blanket, cover that extravagant figure of yours!
Xiya had no intention of getting dressed just yet~
She was leaning on her palm, smiling, admiring the “wonderful blanket” that had curled into an irregular oval shape.
The blanket didn’t fully cover Xue Fei’s radiant silver hair, which flowed smoothly across the velvet pillow like a river of stars.
At the very bottom, one little foot was also sticking out from the blanket.
Occasionally curling and stretching her delicate toes, to Xiya, that was undoubtedly one of the most exquisite pieces of art in the world.
Actually, there was another “art piece” as well?
But Xiya certainly wouldn’t notice.
Because this “art piece” was her own stunning beauty, basking in the sunlight, patiently spoiling, smiling while waiting for her beloved Xue Fei to wake up.
Not far from the door on the floor, under the clock, two gowns, a wine red and a dark blue one, lay spread out like two grand, blooming roses, with more soft materials scattered on the floor leading to the big soft bed, forming a stunning scenic line.
It is worth mentioning that the condition of those materials was quite strange.
Specifically, they looked as if they had been drenched in a downpour, even though there had been no rain last night; it was a starry, moonlit night.
Still no movement…
Is there no movement…?!
Xue Fei really couldn’t hold it in anymore, ahhh!!
Even a dead person would sit up in their coffin! Isn’t it acceptable for me to throw off the blanket in extreme frustration?!
“Xiya! I’m giving you a chance to get dressed and you still won’t?! You…! Ouch! My waist…!”
“Are you okay…? Hmm…? But Xue Fei, didn’t you just say ‘good night’?”
“I meant…! Ugh! So shameless!”
Xue Fei covered her face with her hands, which had gaps in her fingers, unable to bear to look at the beauty wobbling as Xiya leaned closer.
Xiya was certainly shy too, but more than that, she hoped to give Xue Fei some reassurance.
After all, it was her courageous decision… some morning comfort was necessary, right…?
Xiya leaned forward, clumsily kissing Xue Fei’s cheek.
Feeling the jelly-like sensation again brushing against her cheek, Xue Fei’s body stiffened.
It seemed warmth was radiating from her head!
“Umm…!”
“Hehe… big sister feels like she has discovered another side of Xue Fei.”
“Don’t push your luck… I’m telling you, last night I let you have it; if I wanted to retaliate, you wouldn’t have stood a chance!”
“Yes, yes, yes~ If Xue Fei says so, then it is.”
“Wretched…”
Xue Fei secretly used healing magic to ease her sore waist and legs; she couldn’t believe that Xiya had gotten away without even needing to use [Healing] and still managed to handle everything so easily.
After all, some things, especially those that happen in bed, are unrelated to strength; it’s all about courage.
Xiya didn’t mind being watched by Xue Fei.
But her shyness surely had a limit, right? Adding to that, with Xue Fei’s half-hearted push, Xiya had no choice but to grab her own nightgown to put on, while also handing Xue Fei her pure white new nightgown.
Xue Fei hurriedly put on her clothes, draping a layer of soft fabric over the vast expanse of the plain.
Thus, the two blushing girls, their rosy cheeks still flushed, sat facing each other in a duck position.
Xiya gazed lovingly at Xue Fei for a while, and before Xue Fei could show her little tiger teeth and began to bite in indignation, she finally spoke with a bitter smile.
“Sorry… Xue Fei, you were right, I was indeed… a bit too forceful last night; it happened to be my birthday, and emotions got the better of me… I really couldn’t control it. How about this… let’s go out today, take you out to play, and relax properly. What do you say?”
“Eh… I’m so tired, I don’t want to go.”
“Two tickets for the Kingdom Capital Arena, VIP seats, with two limited edition donut supply vouchers included.”
“Let’s go! Right now!”
“Wait for me?!”
Xiya grabbed Xue Fei by the back of her collar as she tried to dart away, pointing a finger at her forehead and admonishing, “Before going out, you have to take a bath. After all that tussling last night, how can you go out without a bath? Plus, you need to change into new clothes.”
“Umm… limited edition donuts! If we go late, won’t there be none left?!”
“Then let’s take a bath together, we can save half the time that way.”
“!”
You’re quite the clever little one!
