Chapter 117 Part 2: Knee Pillow, Kiss, Invitation to Fight (2)
The girl touched her reddened and damp earlobe, her delicate face flushing as misty vapor formed in her eyes. She looked down at the disobedient puppy with a hint of distress.
After analyzing the situation, Chu Yuanqing had figured out the reason behind it.
Xie Qingxuan’s condition wasn’t a normal physiological reaction, but rather stemmed from the amplification of magic after supplementation, causing an overflow that penetrated and spread into the soul at any moment, heightening the senses and magnifying the desired effects.
In simple terms, the person she was supplementing with magic possessed a magical quality that was too advanced.
This was inevitable. Chu Yuanqing was a magical girl created with a savior-like purpose, a saintly soul, and a pure heart.
If not for the pressure from the Sea of Truth, her lantern would have been of the highest quality pure white, far above the level of an average magical girl.
Even though the Sea of Truth had made the lantern tattered, the magical power it produced still far exceeded that of a reserve witch like Xie Qingxuan.
In short, the golden retriever was beyond help now.
The situation was akin to a novice in the cultivation world encountering a natural immortal beauty with supreme abilities. Even if the latter were willing to cultivate together, the former might unintentionally explode.
Chu Yuanqing had to admit that this mess was still her fault, and she needed to take full responsibility without question.
But allowing the golden retriever to continue like this was unacceptable. The other person was surely only interested in girls because of the pleasure enhancement from magical emanation, and their interest had been forced by unethical means.
If during this time, she engaged in any extreme intimate behavior with the person, even after the enhancement wore off, her orientation would remain distorted.
The mere thought of this outcome made Chu Yuanqing feel terribly guilty.
No, they must return it to its proper state.
At the very least, they couldn’t let the golden retriever remain in this abnormal condition.
So, even if it meant being harsh, scolding this child was inevitable!
“Little Qing?”
Xie Qingxuan tilted her head, blinking in confusion, and tugged at the person’s sleeve with her fingers, like a dog gently pulling its owner’s pant leg with its claws, seeking attention.
Chu Yuanqing resisted the urge to pat the girl’s head, carefully removed her slender fingers, and whispered:
“Qingxuan, do you remember our agreement?”
“Don’t cross this line when you sleep.”
“You used to be so well-behaved, but today you seem rather disobedient.”
When Chu Yuanqing was present, her eyes resembled a pool of gently rippling spring water; even with a serious expression, she managed to convey softness through her gaze.
But now, the smile faded from her lips, her delicate features grew cold, and a subtle sense of detachment settled in. It created a visible barrier around her heart, establishing a distance that pushed others away. Her glances were light as clouds, dissolving even disappointment into a more unsettling strangeness.
Chu Yuanqing simply mimicked a period from her past, embodying a detached persona. She stated, word by word:
“Perhaps I should reconsider the distance between us.”
Confusion set in.
The inner heat in Xie Qingxuan’s soul was suddenly extinguished by the surge of coldness from within. She felt like a stranded ship, sinking into the deep sea of stalled thoughts, unable to surface despite her attempts.
Only then did she begin to ponder a question she had never considered before.
What role did Chu Yuanqing truly play in her heart?
Xie Qingxuan was slow and prone to overthinking. She craved affection, sometimes envying and even resenting her sister, yet she refused to seek emotional support from her parents in a vulnerable way.
Because it felt like begging for charity.
Love received through charity seemed superficial and hollow, emanating insincere indifference, only highlighting one’s own absurdity and foolishness.
Xie Qingxuan possessed strong self-esteem, so much so that despite disliking the stage and having no interest in idols, she could immerse herself completely and elevate her skills to the industry’s top level.
How could such a person bow down?
But Chu Yuanqing was different. The love and care she offered were selfless, genuine emotions without flaws.
It wasn’t a lofty gift or divine charity, just simple and casual, feeling natural like a gentle mountain breeze or warm afternoon sunshine – precious yet ordinary offerings.
Thus, individuals like Tang Liuli, who curled up in their own worlds like hedgehogs, could easily be drawn out of their social circles, their psychological defenses falling away layer by layer.
Consequently, Xie Qingxuan could interact with Chu Yuanqing playfully and affectionately without barriers, like a friendly dog without defenses or prejudices, even showing signs of attachment.
It wasn’t that they lacked love or were easy targets.
But people like Chu Yuanqing are too principled. She never demands more from you, simply using her natural radiance to heal and soften your heart.
No one would dislike such a person.
No one could help but like such a person.
Xie Qingxuan was no exception.
Yet she had never considered what Chu Yuanqing truly meant to her – merely a roommate, a precious friend, a passing stranger, or a future rival. She had never contemplated her own position in Chu Yuanqing’s eyes.
Sometimes, when you enjoy certain benefits for too long, you easily forget the reasons behind them, assuming that’s just how things should be.
It was the same now.
Only when Chu Yuanqing showed this distance for the first time did she belatedly realize she had no right to act spoiled or make demands. All the previous intimacy had relied solely on the other’s kindness.
Xie Qingxuan felt no sadness, as the overwhelming emptiness of exclusion consumed all emotions. The darkness swirling in her eyes engulfed her, leaving her lost like an abandoned street dog, unsure which way to turn.
How should she apologize?
The girl appeared dejected, her confusion so strong that even her blonde hair seemed to dim. She was distressed about her clumsy words, looking quite pitiful.
Chu Yuanqing felt somewhat sorry, having intended to create distance between them.
The golden retriever’s sickly appearance made scolding difficult, especially since it was her fault. Her guilty conscience was nearly overwhelming.
Chu Yuanqing cleared her throat several times, and when Xie Qingxuan still didn’t respond, she gently stroked her head, smoothed her silky platinum blonde hair, and comforted her:
“It’s alright, I’m just not used to such close proximity. If you behave better next time, I won’t be upset.”
The darkness in Xie Qingxuan’s eyes shattered. She looked up directly, studied Chu Yuanqing’s expression intently for a moment, confirmed there were no signs of reluctance or deception, and sincerely apologized:
“It’s my fault for making Little Qing uncomfortable. I’m sorry.”
“Can Little Qing forgive me? I’ll do anything.”
Chu Yuanqing remained silent, feeling as though she had just said something similar.
Oh no, why did she feel like she was manipulating someone through the CPU?
Chu Yuanqing sighed, gently pinched Xie Qingxuan’s collagen-filled cheeks. She knelt on the bed, patted her knees, signaling for Xie Qingxuan to rest on her soft thighs. Seeing Xie Qingxuan comply obediently, Chu Yuanqing stroked her hair softly and whispered:
“I forgive you, but as punishment, I owe you a six-minute kiss. The initiative now belongs to me.”
This wasn’t about turning the tables on Xie Qingxuan as a magical tool.
It was simply considering Xie Qingxuan’s feelings, as if she accidentally kissed her and took the initiative in magic replenishment, it could cause significant problems.
Xie Qingxuan nodded without objection, being both compliant and gentle.
Chu Yuanqing rewarded her with affection, patting the child’s head.
Then, she took a deep breath, feeling embarrassed as she pursed her lips, mentally preparing herself before gently closing her eyes, lowering her head to press her soft pink lips against the other’s, swiftly breaking down barriers to touch the sensitive membranes, becoming moist.
The entire action was executed smoothly, the lantern swaying as she absorbed Xie Qingxuan’s excess magic like a succubus, taking it all for herself, fulfilling her desires.
At last, the night’s encounter came to an end.
The next day, training continued as usual, with Ji Shuzhu teaching the dancers a new routine called “ACUTE.”
But in the afternoon, an unexpected knock on the practice room door announced the arrival of a surprise visitor.
The visitor behind the door was the smiling Kirimi Miyuki.
