The last month of my pregnancy, I still couldn't contact Qing Ye, but there was an unexpected visitor.
Ye Qingxian seemed to have been standing at my Cave Mansion's entrance for a long time without knocking to announce herself. It wasn't until I walked out of my room that I noticed a figure standing beneath the tree.
Ginkgo leaves rustled in the wind.
The maiden clasped her hands behind her back, her pure white dress and silhouette still ethereal.
There was also a Ginkgo Tree in front of the Cave Mansion, which I transplanted over a decade ago.
Frowning, I opened the Restriction.
Ye Qingxian saw through the illusion at a glance and looked at her Junior Sister's somewhat haggard face. "Junior Sister, are you planning to give birth by yourself?"
"Mhm." My gaze flickered a few times.
It's just that my cultivation is too low. When other Fairies give birth, someone with a slightly higher realm can easily help. Why is cultivation becoming more and more inconvenient?
For cultivators above the fortieth realm, they can fight with their hands completely untied. Once they leave the stable Supreme Heaven, a single sword energy can cause Galaxy destruction, and billions of stars can shatter.
In Supreme Heaven, you can call me a miscellaneous cultivator, and I won't pick a fight with you.
In the Lower Realm, what should you call me?
A cultivator of this level, and you tell me they'll have a difficult labor?
Don't make me laugh.
My realm is indeed very low; I'm only stronger than an ordinary person because I can use a little Spell.
Even if I normally wanted to join Supreme Heaven, I would still need to ascend a full four times.
Even so.
Once my Qi Refining Third Layer is converted to the combat power of a Wuxia world, its offensive power can be comparable to a Xiantian master who can project internal energy externally.
The latter could even be ambushed and killed by me if caught off guard.
If you ask, then go ask my divine sense and Talisman.
Never underestimate a Qi Refining Third Layer cultivator.
I, Ye Xiaoyao, am also very powerful.
Those cultivators who say I can't even beat a crab are simply talking nonsense.
Seeing my gaze flicker, Ye Qingxian immediately knew I was spacing out, possibly imagining all sorts of random things. She quickly picked up the conversation. "Giving birth shouldn't be easy for you, do you need me to help?"
My thoughts paused for a second. I stared at the maiden's stunningly beautiful face, my eyes curving slightly.
The little loli looks so cute, but she's full of bad ideas, a complete schemer, and incredibly cunning. "No, I'm afraid Cub's father will get jealous."
I said with utmost seriousness, my lips parting as I spouted nonsense, "Sorry, Senior Sister, but Junior Sister also upholds female virtue."
This cultivation statement, comparable to a brain-damaging exercise, left Ye Qingxian's expression frozen for a long time.
I kept staring at Ye Qingxian, seeing her face stiffen, and I was already laughing hysterically inside.
Serves you right for always provoking me. You must be furious now.
Lately, I've been seriously suspecting Ye Qingxian's true intentions.
She's always hanging around me; she can't possibly like me, can she!?
Although it's basically impossible for the Female Protagonist to like me.
However, I must foresee this and guard against it in advance.
After all, I absolutely don't want to become an obstacle in the relationship between the Male and Female Leads.
Ye Qingxian quickly regained her composure. "You're almost giving birth, and he's still not showing up to be by your side? I completely can't understand why such a cultivation scumbag is worth your concern."
I looked at her, puffing up indignantly. "You're not allowed to talk about him like that."
Ye Qingxian fell silent instantly, her gaze fixed on her Junior Sister's soft, plump little face, which was puffed up like a steamed bun...
However, that little mouth was becoming more and more alluring.
She could be absolutely sure that her Junior Sister hadn't contacted the scumbag in a long time.
Yet, her Junior Sister still hadn't forgotten him.
In fact, she was more "devoted" than ever.
At this moment, Ye Qingxian felt inexplicably uncomfortable.
Countless complex thoughts battled within her, leading to the psychological activities that followed.
This can't go on...
She muttered to herself.
She couldn't continue to neglect her Junior Sister, couldn't just stand by and watch her be so deeply in love with a scumbag, still unable to forget him even now.
Ye Qingxian convinced herself in less than a second.
The reason her Junior Sister was still clinging to him was most likely because she had never encountered any quality resources in the Cultivation World, which was why she was still obsessed with the scumbag who had tricked her into giving him her body.
Once her Junior Sister encountered truly high-quality resources, she would likely immediately realize the truth.
For Junior Sister's lifelong happiness, Ye Qingxian felt she had to do something.
In this world, who could be more outstanding than Ye Qingxian when it came to top-tier resources?
Ye Qingxian, without any psychological burden, set her sights on herself as the target.
She--didn't like Junior Sister.
She wasn't planning to flirt either, she just wanted Junior Sister to wake up.
This was not contradictory to her being a Straight Woman.
Ye Qingxian completely convinced herself.
She just wanted to help Junior Sister. Once Junior Sister realized what a truly superior cultivator was and completely forgot about that scumbag, she could then retreat with her mission accomplished.
She believed that Junior Sister would understand her well-intentioned efforts by then.
Ye Qingxian spoke with great conviction, even recalling her past words: "Someone who can even lay hands on a little loli like Junior Sister, what's the difference between them and an animal?"
Her reasoning was solid, so solid that Ye Qingxian remained calm.
This was her resolve--she just wanted to help Junior Sister.
Seeing the harmonious relationship between Yue Wuhua and Shuang Yue, Ye Qingxian tossed and turned many times after returning, finally reaching a conclusion.
She believed that as long as she could make Junior Sister completely forget about the scumbag, she could then establish a normal senior-junior sister relationship with her.
Could the only heartwarming ending finally be achieved?
Thinking this, Ye Qingxian, under the little loli's constant scrutinizing gaze, suddenly made a decision that defied her ancestors. Abandoning her previous approach of constant questioning that only led to rejection, she took a step forward under the gaze of the stunned little loli and completely pinned the yet-to-react cute creature against the wall.
"Junior Sister, what you said doesn't count."
"When giving birth, how can no one be there to help?"
"I am your Senior Sister, and I absolutely disagree with this."
"I must make proper arrangements for you."
Ye Qingxian's gaze was calm, her words firm, "This is my responsibility."
This was a lesson she learned from Yue Wuhua.
A direct approach could solve everything.
Ye Qingxian's sudden "assault" caused my brain to freeze for a few seconds. Trapped by her arms, my little head was still trying to process what was happening.
"Ye Qingxian!" I screamed, "You--"
You scoundrel!!
The rest of my words were bitten off.
Under my Good-for-nothing temper, I was forced to swallow them.
Ye Qingxian was much taller than me. From my perspective, I couldn't see any sunlight, and my nostrils were filled with the scent of a young girl.
When had I ever been this close to someone? My entire face turned bright red, followed by an unimaginable anger.
I was furious.
My teeth were grinding.
The Female Protagonist was fine, why was she acting out?
If you have something to say, say it. Why are you pinning me against the wall?
Is it because you can't talk properly, or are you afraid I'll run away?
"I have my own plans." I pretended not to see what the Female Protagonist was doing, my small face stiffening slightly in a final struggle.
Ye Qingxian remained calm, "This is Senior Sister's order."
The subtext was that there would be no more discussion.
Why was the Female Protagonist starting to be unreasonable? My small face froze.
Hey, you're not playing fair!
Who did Ye Qingxian learn from? Why was she suddenly so difficult to deal with?
I hated it, my teeth itching, but I didn't dare to scold the Female Protagonist like I used to.
Fine, order me.
I--will endure.
So you're Ye Qingxian, huh.
"Whatever you say." I threw this sentence out and nearly fled in disarray.
Ye Qingxian stood in place, watching the little loli's somewhat unsteady steps, and a satisfied smile spread across her face.
As expected, a direct approach was necessary.
Junior Sister's way of speaking was quite effective. Sometimes, being unreasonable could solve countless problems.
This is how you should deal with a stubborn and disobedient Junior Sister.
It's just that...
It's temporarily unclear why Junior Sister stopped scolding her.
With her as a shining example, Junior Sister should soon realize the shamelessness of that scumbag brother.
For the past two months, ever since Qing Ye's problem erupted, Ye Qingxian hadn't had a single day this happy. She even felt a breeze with her steps as she walked.
She once suspected she liked Junior Sister, but was troubled by her own persona as a Straight Woman.
At this moment, it was like clouds parting to reveal the sun, a great enlightenment.
She knew it, how could she possibly like Junior Sister?
Now it seemed, she—Ye Qingxian—was still a Straight Woman.
Being able to come up with the latest method to save Junior Sister was simply perfect, a strategy that could preserve both.
