The Moonlight Is Beautiful, and So Are the Shooting Stars

Yelan compared her own conditions with Fu Hua's.

Ha... an immortal? Just a concubine!

While eating, Fu Hua inexplicably felt a malice that sent chills down her spine.

I have a feeling that someone is targeting her.

Liu Bai looked at Yelan with a puzzled expression.

What's wrong with this woman? One minute she's throwing a tantrum and pinching him, the next she's rubbing him.

Surely one's mind shouldn't change so quickly? They haven't even finished those two bowls of rice yet.

It seems like this person isn't thinking about anything important...

"Are you going back to the pot to sleep tonight?" Yelan asked softly.

"If there are no special arrangements, probably... What's wrong?" Bai looked at Yelan.

Why are you asking this all of a sudden?

"I'd also like to visit your pot; it's been a long time since I've been there."

Yelan smiled.

She suddenly wanted to see how many people were in Liu Bai's pot now.

I think I remember at least seven or eight of them.

Not to mention that Liu Bai's trip to the far north might have brought even more people to the pot.

It feels like Liu Bai is flirting with everyone.

"... Isn't that a bit inappropriate?"

Yelan must have something to hide if she suddenly brings this up.

"What's wrong?" Yelan raised an eyebrow, her aggressive intent evident.

"Things aren't going well in any aspect."

Liu Bai rolled her eyes and put the last bite of rice into her mouth.

"I'm full... Miss Qin Suyi, would you like to leave it here?"

Liu Bai glanced at Qin Suyi.

Then, he successfully achieved a time of 0 seconds in the "No Looking at the Abyss Challenge".

"At once..."

"If it's not too much trouble for Liu Bai, please take Su Yi back to her room."

Su Mei interrupted Fu Hua.

"The computer is on in the room. The room with the largest computer screen is the one with the plain clothes. Thank you for your help."

Although Qin Suyi hadn't eaten, she was still a cultivator, so she wouldn't starve to death from missing a meal.

These words made Yelan glance at Su Mei —just like when the two first started working together.

The first half of the sentence says it's no trouble at all, but the second half says "thank you for your trouble." Is this moral blackmail?

How could I, Yelan, sit idly by and watch you morally blackmail others?

"Is this a good idea?" Yelan pointed at Liu Bai. "Fu Hua, you think so too, right?"

"No, Ling has no bad dreams." Su Mei (chuckled), "Eight, could it be that you don't believe Mr. Liu Bai, Master Chess Master?"

Yelan: "..."

Fu Hua: "..."

Needless to say, Yelan couldn't deny it either, Fu Hua really couldn't deny it either.

In short, he put the two of them on the hot seat of the fire.

Listening to their conversation, Liu Bai silently picked up Qin Suyi.

Well, it's big where it should be big and slim where it should be slim. It's not heavy at all when you pick it up, probably about the same weight as Acheron —after all, Acheron likes to ride on Liu Bai humiliate him.

"I'm full too, I'll go with you." Yelan put down her chopsticks and glared at Su Mei.

"... Is it really necessary?"

After Liu Bai left, he made a comment.

"As for, I'm afraid you'll get pulled into bed by someone."

Yelan rolled her eyes at Liu Bai.

"I now regret stopping at Mount Taixu."

Stepping outside, the bright moon and stars above the mountain temple added a touch of romance to the two strolling under the moon.

"Oh."

"Oh... if you say 'oh' again, don't blame me for hitting you. Don't tell me you didn't sense what Su Mei was going to do."

Chapter 214 The moonlight is beautiful, and the shooting stars are beautiful too.

"Hmm... I'm not unaware of what Su Mei is planning to do; I'm quite perceptive enough to know that much."

Yelan's words made Liu Bai nod.

"But objectively speaking, I have no reason to refuse, do I?"

After all, no matter what, the people of Taixu were a great help to Liu Bai.

With high talent and due to his background, the Taixu Sword Qi has become "cultivation of immortality," and its strength has also increased slightly.

Moreover, the known systems in this world— Valkyries, Vision, and this cultivation—are basically not in conflict with each other and can be mutually reinforcing.

"You believe that Su Mei?"

"Hmm... I believe you."

Liu Bai thought for a moment and nodded.

"Although I couldn't find a reason why Su Mei helped me for free, I also couldn't find a reason why Su Mei helped me and is now planning to harm me."

If there's anything about Su Mei that's worrying, it's that from the first meeting until now, no matter how enthusiastic Su Mei is, there's still no indication of her favorability rating.

Can this situation be interpreted as someone who is outwardly warm but inwardly cold?

However, Liu Bai couldn't find any reason why Su Mei was warm to his face but cold to him, or why she had any designs on him, or why she had no chance to make a move against him.

If someone wants to cooperate with me and use my strength... where would it be?

Since there's no reason to kill one's master, it can't be an act of insubordination within the merchant guild, right?

"You really have a knack for simplifying complex problems," Yelan sighed.

Well, there aren't really many problems with this answer.

Even though Yelan didn't actually realize Su Mei's malice—although such a wise person wouldn't openly display malice.

"The scenery here is so beautiful," Yelan said, looking up at the sky.

Liu Bai also looked up and saw the bright moon and countless stars...

"... Is the moonlight beautiful?"

"--scare!?"

Liu Bai's sudden remark startled Yelan.

"What... what are you saying?!"

By the moonlight, Liu Bai could clearly see the blush on Yelan's cheeks.

"... It was just a spontaneous expression of feeling."

Yelan quickly tried to make amends for Liu Bai.

Although she was from Shenzhou, she still knew the meaning of the phrase "the moonlight is beautiful".

In a sense, this is a very famous metaphor.

"... That's one way to understand it."

Although it was indeed a subconscious expression of feeling,... you were given the chance but you didn't use it.

Well, even if it's useful, now I'm the one in a passive position.

"Kujou teach you that?"

Why did you immediately think of Kujou?

"Who told her to get so close to you?"

Yelan's tone carried a hint of jealousy.

Qin Suyi, whom Liu Bai was holding, also shifted her body slightly.

Liu Bai glanced down and confirmed that the person was still fast asleep, and not pretending to be asleep.

It would be a bit awkward if there were an onlooker watching this "romance".

"Couldn't I have learned it from a book?"

"Then you should read less of those useless books..."

Yelan rolled her eyes at Liu Bai, and the two of them walked into the side room together.

"I guessed that the second room next door was Qin Su's room," Bai Shi glanced at the room and then spotted a brightly lit room in the dark corridor.

"I guessed so."

Is there even a need to look at this?

Liu Bai carried Qin Suyi into the room, and it had to be said that the place was even more luxurious than Liu Bai had imagined.

The live stream was still playing on the large 4K screen, but since I was wearing headphones, the sound wasn't coming out.

And the content of the live stream...

[The live stream of the absolutely gorgeous and beautiful angel, Eden]

"What the heck? It's Eden!" Yelan exclaimed, looking at the two-dimensional virtual avatar of Eden on the computer screen. "Eden has become a celebrity now."

"Don't ask, the answer is that she has the potential to be a queen of pop."

No matter what, he's a rising star in the live streaming world, a singer who quickly gained a million followers, so it's not surprising that he could be seen in the room of Qin Suyi, a homebody.

Speaking of which, Eden still owes him and Little Gui a barbecue.

Liu Bai suppressed the urge to put on his headphones and carefully placed Qin Suyi, the unsuspecting, plump, homebody, on the bed, then covered her with a blanket.

"Master... Father..."

Seemingly realizing that she had been put down, Qin Suyi subconsciously grabbed Liu Bai's hand, which was about to pull away.

Her slender fingers gripped Liu Bai's arm like eagle claws, then pulled Liu Bai towards her.

Yelan, standing next to him, gave a "hehe" look.

She knew this kind of plot would happen. Ha, Liu Bai.

This trip was definitely worthwhile.

If he hadn't come along, Liu Bai would definitely have been dragged onto the bed.

No matter how delicate she may seem, she has been practicing martial arts and cultivating immortality for a long time.

However, after Qin Suyi uttered the two syllables "Master," her mouth opened and closed as she mumbled an indistinct, coquettish murmur.

Of course, he hadn't let go of her arm yet; he was still pulling Liu Bai.

Seeing this, Yelan took out a small bottle from her clothes, uncorked it, and put it under Qin Suyi's nose.

As Qin Suyi's nostrils flared and she let out a soft moan, the hand that had been gripping Liu Bai's arm quickly went limp and slipped down.

"... What is that thing?" Bai looked at the small bottle in Yelan's hand in surprise.

"Ten-Fragrance Tendon-Weakening Powder." Yelan shook the bottle, revealing a somewhat dangerous smile.
