Woman, You Have Successfully Aroused My Interest

The Bluestone Plaza was silent as a graveyard.

The morning mist had dispersed, and drifting snow pellets hung suspended in midair.

The vast plaza seemed to have entered bullet time.

Xiao Bai could not move at all.

For a moment, he felt as though even his heartbeat and breathing had stopped...

That damned tsundere loli did not even show Martial Granduncle any respect!

She was basically Eiri from the Cultivation World.

Come to think of it, this was the second time Xiao Bai had been thoroughly handled by a woman since crossing over to the True Origin Continent.

He still remembered that the last time he had been handled by a woman... had been last night.

It had been a night of romance beneath the wind and moon.

But now, things did not look good...

It was not just Xiao Bai. Aside from the Onmyoji, the other disciples of Hundred Herbs Garden could not move either.

Ordinary disciples of the Snow Flame Sect were generally only at Qi Condensation.

Those who could reach Foundation Establishment were qualified to apply to become instructors.

Only among the Core Disciples could there be Golden Core Realm experts like the Onmyoji... in other sects, a Golden Core expert would absolutely be an elder.

Of course, since the Onmyoji managed the Pill Pavilion, she could be considered half an elder anyway.

Senior Sister Mu Yun was at Peak Foundation Establishment.

In truth, with her talent, she could easily break through to the Golden Core Realm as long as she entered seclusion to cultivate.

But she could not bear to leave her little patch of land. Every day, she cleared fields, planted herbs, and tended the Medicine Garden, neglecting her cultivation... which was why she had yet to advance even now.

In Xiao Bai's impression, Senior Sister Mu Yun was merely tsundere, not violent. Most of the time, she was only a king with her mouth.

From the spiritual pressure enveloping Hundred Herbs Garden and Senior Sister's voice, thick with suppressed fury, Xiao Bai could almost conclude that she already knew about Xiao Bai.

The elder was not here either. No one was going to uphold justice for him...

This was bad!

"Fine. Your Martial Granduncle has not even reached Qi Condensation yet, so right now I am at everyone's mercy. If you want to kill or carve me up, make it quick."

After all, he had eaten her rabbit. Xiao Bai had no face to put on airs, so he raised his hands in surrender.

Yet as he spoke, he deliberately dragged out the four words, "your Martial Granduncle."

Hopefully, she would go a little easier on him and leave this Martial Granduncle some dignity.

"Not even Qi Condensation yet?"

Suppressing her emotions, the white-stockinged girl floating in the air lowered her eyes and glanced at Xiao Bai, finding it a little strange.

"You make it sound like you can cultivate Qi."

Seeing Senior Sister Mu Yun's tone soften slightly, Xiao Bai felt that there might be room for a turnabout and hurriedly said:

"Do you think I became your Martial Granduncle just by being handsome?"

Mu Yun's delicate brows knit slightly as she withdrew her spiritual pressure.

Her petite figure, lightly wrapped in a Water-Green Mist Robe, drifted down before Xiao Ran like fine snow fluttering to the ground.

In fact, the girl did not touch the ground.

When she descended until her eyes were level with Xiao Bai's, she stopped and hovered there.

She did not like looking up at people.

She stared straight at Xiao Bai's face...

Mu Yun frowned. She felt that she had seen him a few times before, but had never thought much of him.

Now that she looked closely, this man truly was handsome. At the very least, his appearance was worthy of her master.

Unfortunately, his talent was far too lacking...

Weren't you made Martial Granduncle precisely because of your looks?

"Yes, that is exactly what I thought!"

Mu Yun was so angry she could not contain it.

Xiao Bai froze.

The women who call me handsome are usually not good women.

Could it be that you are a villain too?

Woman, you have successfully aroused my interest.

Having regained his freedom, Xiao Bai began sizing up Senior Sister Mu Yun, who hovered before him, all over again.

The most eye-catching thing was her figure.

She was only a little over five feet tall.

Short, yet remarkably well-proportioned, with a petite body, slender straight legs, and even a few graceful curves.

She wore a Water-Green Mist Robe, White Silk Stockings, and Bamboo Clogs and Embroidered Shoes.

The mist robe lightly hugged her body, the white stockings clung snugly to her legs, and her bamboo shoes even gave her a bit of extra height.

Her hair was tied into twin buns with a flower hairpin laid across them. Her bangs cascaded straight down like a clear waterfall, and she was dressed like a maidservant-like Daoist attendant.

Her heart-shaped face was pale as jade, her features exquisitely sculpted. Her sharp almond eyes held a hint of spring, while her cherry lips and pert nose tilted faintly upward.

She was the very picture of a tsundere girl's romance and pride.

She was equally youthful and pure, with a delicate maiden's face, but Elder Yuhu had a rounder face. Her features gave off an otherworldly, cold, and understated air, carrying traces of restraint and the weathered years of returning to simplicity.

Senior Sister Mu Yun was not very old. Her features were proud yet sharp, while her conduct was innocent and lively, with a touch of princess syndrome, making her radiate girlishness.

Especially those slender, straight legs, wrapped in white gauze as thin as bamboo membrane. The texture where it blended with her skin reflected a faint, holy gleam.

Alas, what a pity she is one of the good ones...

Xiao Bai sighed inwardly, but politely said aloud:

"Since the clothes have already been made, I can only accept them without further ceremony... Thank you, Senior Sister."

With that, Xiao Bai reached out to take the clothes.

But his hand froze in front of the girl's chest!

Mu Yun patted the dark-cyan Daoist robe in her hands, lifted her pretty face, and teased Xiao Bai.

"The clothes this young lady wove are not for just anyone to take."

Xiao Bai did not want the approval of some righteous young girl at all. He only wanted this little miss not to make trouble for him over the rabbit, so he waved his hand.

"Then I do not want them. Just let me go, all right?"

"No."

An exceedingly subtle strand of divine sense swept over Xiao Bai from top to bottom seven or eight times...

The girl in the mist robe narrowed her eyes and said proudly:

"Since you had the ability to win over my master, you must also be able to obtain your clothes."

Hearing this, Xiao Bai thought that perhaps Senior Sister Mu Yun had become so furious because she felt he was not worthy of the elder?

Yet the anger on her face had now vanished, replaced by a faint expression that suggested she wanted to test him.

That was normal too. When someone's master had been rooted by a cabbage, they would want to know what strengths that cabbage had...

Could it be... she still did not know that Xiao Bai had been eaten?

If that was really the case, he might still have a chance to turn things around.

Xiao Bai simply asked tentatively.

"How can I get the clothes?"

There was a show to watch!

The watching disciples held their breath, wishing they could immediately set out melon seeds, peanuts, and little benches.

Because right now, Senior Sister Mu Yun was doing something they wanted to do but did not dare to do.

The girl put the Daoist robe into her storage ring, lifted her pert nose, and spoke with a tongue that blossomed into flowers.

"Cultivation and combat, Seal Talismans, beast taming and farming, sword forging and pill refining, even music, chess, calligraphy, painting, blades, spears, swords, and halberds... pick any one you like. As long as you can beat me, that will do."

Clearly, Senior Sister Mu Yun wanted to test both his strength and the elder's motives.

Xiao Bai thought, since music, chess, calligraphy, and painting were all allowed, could drawing comics count?

Forget it. Senior Sister Mu Yun could not do that, but neither could he.

Why was producing glass and soap not included?

Or they could compete to see who could pee farther against the wind!

Thinking back over every skill Senior Sister Mu Yun had listed, he truly could not find a single one he could win at.

He could only choose the one he was closest to.

"I choose swordsmanship."

That was what Xiao Bai said.
