"Cough, cough, cough!"
An Yi nearly choked on his own saliva. Somewhat embarrassed, he argued, "What do you mean, 'a lecherous aura'? I'm clearly handsome, dashing, and free-spirited, okay? How am I a lecher?"
Xiao Xun'er gave a cold snort. Her gaze finally moved away from An Yi and landed on Little Fairy, who sat across from them, quietly observing the situation.
She sized up Little Fairy's equally eye-catching white robes, white hair, and ethereal beauty. Her tone carried a strong sourness that even she herself had not noticed.
"It's only been a year, and there wasn't a single word from you. Yet the moment you came back to Wutan City, you were already parading around with such a beautiful girl by your side. And you dare say you're not a lecher?"
A woman's intuition was often the most terrifying weapon in the world.
While Xiao Xun'er was sizing up Little Fairy, Little Fairy keenly caught the fleeting hostility in the purple-clad girl's eyes, as well as the intense jealousy practically overflowing from her words.
After just one glance, Little Fairy understood.
This girl named Xun'er definitely had feelings for An Yi!
And judging by how familiar they were, they had probably known each other for a long time!
So this was a formidable childhood-sweetheart rival!
Caught between them, An Yi felt as though he were sitting on pins and needles. He hurriedly tried to smooth things over and put out the fire.
"Ahem, Xun'er, let me introduce her. This is Little Fairy. We met in the Magic Beast Mountain Range. Besides, I'm her lifesaver. How does that make me a lecher?"
"Oh? Her lifesaver?"
Xiao Xun'er raised her delicate brows, a seemingly gentle but actually murderous fake smile curling across her lips. She turned to Little Fairy, her tone carrying both probing and provocation.
"Then according to the cliché plot in storybooks, An Yi played the hero and saved this damsel in distress. Don't tell me Miss Little Fairy is planning to offer herself to him in return?"
Little Fairy met Xiao Xun'er's gaze without yielding. She raised her chin slightly, and an unusual domineering edge entered her cool voice.
"No need for you to guess, miss. That is precisely my intention!"
The moment those words fell, the air in the private room seemed to freeze solid.
Xiao Xun'er narrowed her eyes slightly, and a dangerous golden glimmer flashed deep within them.
She turned toward An Yi with a smiling face, but that smile sent a chill down his spine.
"Oh? Is that so? Then, Brother An Yi, what do you think? Could it be... that you intend to repay kindness with exploitation and take advantage of her vulnerable state?"
"Cough, cough, cough!" An Yi's eye twitched wildly. "How could I possibly exploit her because I saved her? I didn't say anything at all. This is all a misunderstanding!"
"Mm, I believe you."
Xiao Xun'er nodded in satisfaction, then looked at Little Fairy again. "Miss Little Fairy, did you hear that? Brother An Yi is an honorable gentleman. He has no intention of accepting your offer to give yourself to him."
Seeing Xiao Xun'er acting as if she were declaring ownership, Little Fairy felt a surge of irritation for no apparent reason.
She suddenly gave a soft laugh and retorted blandly, "Whether he accepts is his business. Whether I insist on offering myself is mine. What happens between us has nothing to do with Miss Xun'er, does it?"
The smile on Xiao Xun'er's face gradually faded, and her gaze became somewhat dangerous. "So... Miss Little Fairy intends to force a sale and make him accept?"
An Yi listened from the side with a baffled expression.
What? What did she mean, she was forcing me? Was I the kind of man who could be forced?
Before An Yi could sort out this chaotic logic.
Xiao Xun'er suddenly reached out and naturally grabbed An Yi's arm. In an earnest tone, she warned, "Brother An Yi, you have little experience in the world and don't know how treacherous people can be. There are many ill-intentioned bad women out there. You must stay vigilant and never let some woman of unknown origin fool you with a pure and pitiful facade."
How could Little Fairy fail to understand the hidden jab behind those words?
Furious, she laughed instead. "What Miss Xun'er means is... that I'm the ill-intentioned bad woman?"
Xiao Xun'er smiled sweetly at her, her tone utterly innocent. "Oh my, I never said that. If Miss Little Fairy wants to apply it to herself, then please don't misunderstand my good intentions."
Little Fairy narrowed her eyes, and the air around her seemed to take on a faint chill.
Xiao Xun'er was equally fearless. Her once gentle eyes had turned sharp, and faint golden flames danced deep in her pupils.
One purple gaze and one white gaze clashed fiercely in midair. One could almost hear the crackling of electricity!
Seeing how tense things had become, as though they might flip the table and start fighting at any moment.
Cold sweat poured down An Yi's forehead. His mind raced as he considered whether to play dead and flee or quickly find an excuse to take Little Fairy and run.
After all, if these two women really started fighting in this private room over him...
Just as An Yi nervously prepared to step in and mediate.
An earth-shattering, suffocatingly outrageous move appeared!
Little Fairy suddenly pulled off the white veil covering her face!
Then she abruptly leaned halfway across the table, grabbed An Yi by the collar, and pulled him toward her.
"Smack!"
Little Fairy's soft, rosy lips planted a forceful, resounding kiss right on An Yi's cheek!
After kissing him, Little Fairy returned to her seat with a radiant smile, like a proud peacock that had won a battle. She even shot Xiao Xun'er a provocative glance.
The entire private room fell deathly silent.
Xiao Xun'er's expression froze completely. Her originally lively, profound eyes widened round as she stared at Little Fairy in utter disbelief. Even her voice trembled.
"Miss Little Fairy, in broad daylight, as a young woman... isn't such shameless behavior a little too improper?!"
"Improper? What's improper about it?"
Little Fairy rested her cheek on one hand, smiling brightly. "We've kissed in private countless times already. It's not the first time. What, Miss Xun'er can't stand the sight of it?"
Xiao Xun'er stiffened, then abruptly turned her head and glared at An Yi as if she wanted to devour him. "Brother An Yi! You... you actually?!"
An Yi's scalp went numb beneath that stare. His survival instincts instantly surged to the maximum, and he hurriedly coughed twice, trying to salvage his nearly ruined reputation.
"Ahem! Well... Xun'er, don't listen to her nonsense. We've only... only kissed two or three times, that's all. Definitely not countless times! Really!"
"Yes, only a few times."
Little Fairy said leisurely, "Anyway, we've slept in the same bed several times already. What's the big deal about a few kisses?"
"Crack!"
A crisp sound rang out.
The sturdy blue-and-white porcelain teacup in Xiao Xun'er's hand was instantly crushed into powder by the battle qi she unconsciously released!
"Y-you slept... together?!"
Feeling the terrifying killing intent around Xiao Xun'er, so intense that it even distorted the air slightly.
An Yi panicked badly. Cold sweat instantly soaked the clothes on his back as he hurriedly explained.
"No, no, no! Xun'er, listen to my explanation! It's not that kind of sleeping together! We just slept in the same bed to rest, nothing happened at all! It was like before, when we often lay back-to-back on the grass in the Xiao Household's rear mountain to watch the stars. It was more or less the same!"
Little Fairy sat beside him, leisurely playing with a strand of silver-white hair identical to An Yi's. "Oh my, An Yi, how could you put it that way?"
"We shared a bed at the inn, our ears and temples brushing together. How could that possibly be the same as you two little brats lying on the grass and catching a cold wind?"
"Boom!"
The air around Xiao Xun'er completely erupted. A terrifying wisp of Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame flickered wildly deep within her pupils, as if she would explode at any moment!
An Yi's eye twitched violently. Looking at Little Fairy, who was still relentlessly fanning the flames, he let out a despairing wail in his heart.
Damn it! Ancestor, can you please say a little less?!
If you really piss this young lady off, forget you—we'll both be dead here today!!!
