Ling Yuan silently cursed her bad luck, released Lin Feng's arm, and turned to look into the shop in fits and starts.
Ye Wanqing was walking excitedly toward them, holding a cyan dress.
When she spotted Lin Feng beside Ling Yuan, her eyes lit up. She gradually slowed down, and the smile on her face became unexpectedly deep.
"It's you, Wanqing. What a coincidence, haha."
Ling Yuan laughed twice awkwardly.
"Yes, of course it's me~"
Ye Wanqing walked up beside Ling Yuan.
She looked left, and Ling Yuan glanced right.
She looked right, and Ling Yuan glanced left.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk. Didn't you say you couldn't stay in Heaven Dou City for long?
Didn't you say you'd come find me next time you came?
And who might this young man be~?"
Lin Feng was still marveling at the exceptional talent of the woman before him.
Hearing that, Lin Feng discreetly glanced at the stormy waves before him and said,
"I'm her boyfriend."
"Oh~"
Ye Wanqing walked around Ling Yuan and began sizing Lin Feng up, stroking her chin.
"He really does look young. I never thought Ling Yuan would win you over so quickly."
A captivating blush spread across Ling Yuan's face.
She pulled Ye Wanqing over.
"What? I can't even take a look? Are you that possessive?"
Ling Yuan's face darkened as she glared at Ye Wanqing irritably.
"What business is it of yours? If you want one, go find one yourself."
"Ahem."
Ye Wanqing pressed a hand to her ample chest and stepped back several paces, her eyes full of disbelief.
One slender hand pointed at Ling Yuan.
"Ling Yuan, you... you're choosing a man over your friend!"
Lin Feng raised a brow. So this woman was just an entertainer, huh?
"When did I?!"
Ling Yuan snapped and covered Ye Wanqing's mouth.
Ye Wanqing made muffled noises, her almond eyes blinking continuously.
At that moment, the other customers nearby were drawn over by the commotion and cast curious looks at Ye Wanqing and Ling Yuan.
"Why haven't they started fighting yet? Pick up the pace."
"What do you know? These two good friends are probably fighting over that handsome guy. They won't fight.
I think they'll be leaving together later."
Hearing the whispers around them, Ling Yuan's ear roots turned even redder.
She grabbed Lin Feng and Ye Wanqing and ran outside.
"Ooh~ Leaving now? It hasn't even started yet."
So everyone was an entertainer?
The three of them arrived at a restaurant.
The atmosphere suddenly became somewhat awkward.
Ye Wanqing had originally come with the intention of watching the fun and teasing Ling Yuan.
But as she looked at the two leaning together across the dining table, then glanced beside herself,
she suddenly felt a little irritated.
Pretending not to care, she looked at Ling Yuan's delicate hand, which Lin Feng was holding in his palm.
Her breath stalled. It seemed that, in the past, only she had been able to play with that slender hand.
Though she was very happy to see her good sister finally get what she wanted, once she realized that she now seemed to be an outsider,
a sudden sense of loss filled her heart.
She pouted.
Her arms naturally crossed beneath her chest, holding up her pride.
"What are you spacing out for? Hurry up and give me an explanation."
What, were you also a Great Ascension Stage cultivator, demanding explanations from people every day?
"Ahem."
Ling Yuan gave a light cough and tucked a strand of black hair behind her ear.
"Well, it was my fault for not coming to find you right away. I'll come visit you often from now on."
Ye Wanqing curled her lips.
"I'm afraid you won't have the time~ You'll be too busy keeping your little lover company.
Sigh~ From now on, I'll be all alone."
Ye Wanqing shook her head, looking utterly despondent.
Ling Yuan helplessly pressed a hand to her forehead and looked at Lin Feng.
"This is Ye Wanqing, the one I mentioned to you."
"The one who steals lollipops from children?"
Lin Feng blurted out instinctively.
"Wha—"
Ye Wanqing's lips parted slightly, her eyes widening as she stared at Ling Yuan in disbelief.
"You, you, you! What else did you tell him?!"
She shot to her feet.
Thinking about the embarrassing things she had done in the past, as well as the ones she still did now, Ye Wanqing felt like she was falling apart.
How could this be?
"Hey, you. Actually, when Ling Yuan was little—"
"Hey!"
Ling Yuan hurriedly cut in.
Eh? It seemed there was nothing to say about Ling Yuan when she was young?
She had exceptional talent, crushed her peers, and beat those stinking men until they no longer dared provoke her. Did that count?
That sounded more like praise, didn't it?
A confused look appeared in Ye Wanqing's eyes.
Unable to think of any black spots on Ling Yuan, Ye Wanqing sat back down awkwardly.
"Damn it. I'll definitely remember something."
Seeing that she was no longer pursuing the subject, Ling Yuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
She then began introducing Lin Feng.
"His name is Lin Feng. He's the one I mentioned last time, um.
I like him very much.
"
Ling Yuan's pretty face was slightly flushed. Introducing Lin Feng in front of her good sister always made her feel a little embarrassed.
Ye Wanqing picked up a piece of crab meat and put it into her mouth, giving a soft hum.
"Looks like that guide you took last time was pretty effective. It hasn't even been that long."
"A guide?"
Lin Feng looked teasingly at Ling Yuan, undisguised amusement in his eyes.
Ling Yuan glared at him, then pinched him with the delicate hand held in his palm.
Her beautiful eyes seemed both annoyed and reproachful.
Ye Wanqing:
She silently put down the other piece of crab meat she had just picked up again.
She suddenly felt full, and even the lavish feast before her seemed dull and tasteless.
She casually tossed down her chopsticks.
After pondering for a moment,
"Alright, alright. Tell me how you two met instead.
Lin Feng, right? Tell me, what do you like about my Ling Yuan?"
Lin Feng smiled.
"Everything."
Ye Wanqing frowned, clearly dissatisfied with such a perfunctory answer.
"Be specific."
"Her carefree spirit that defies convention, her sincere and devoted affection, her meticulous care, and her beauty like autumn waters."
Ling Yuan listened carefully, her almond eyes narrowing slightly as unconcealed delight filled them.
The corners of her lips lifted a little, and she cast Ye Wanqing a smug glance.
"Heh, I think that last part is the main point."
Ye Wanqing curled her lips.
Seeing Ye Wanqing resume eating, Ling Yuan was somewhat puzzled.
"Why aren't you asking me, Wanqing?"
Ye Wanqing rolled her eyes at Ling Yuan.
"Why would I ask you? I don't want to. Boring."
"Hehe."
"Come to think of it, how old exactly is this Lin Feng? I've never heard you explain it properly."
Ye Wanqing asked casually.
Ling Yuan's true age could not be seen from her appearance. Even saying she looked twenty-five or twenty-six would be doing her an injustice.
Spirit Masters also grew rapidly after awakening, and with the effects of immortal herbs, precious orbs, and other items, Lin Feng now looked somewhat mature as well.
Judging from appearances alone, it was impossible to tell the precise age difference between them.
Ling Yuan, who had been relaxed and smiling freely, bared her teeth when she heard the question.
"He's in his teens. Didn't I already tell you?"
Ye Wanqing carelessly put food into her mouth.
"Nineteen is still in his teens."
"I told you already. You're not allowed to ask again!"
Ling Yuan glared.
Ling Yuan's reaction only made Ye Wanqing more concerned.
No way...
If that was true, then her sister really was fierce. She shot Lin Feng a strange look.
"Fine, fine. When are you planning to leave this time?"
Ling Yuan looked at Lin Feng.
Lin Feng thought for a moment.
"We'll probably stay in Heaven Dou City for a few more months, then head to Spirit City."
Ye Wanqing was somewhat surprised. Even the answer had to come from Lin Feng?
Her sister's standing in the household was a little low, wasn't it? How could that do?
Not knowing the full situation, Ye Wanqing began mulling it over on her own.
"Then how about coming over to our house? My home is quite big, and my sister misses you too—"
