Dao Companion Crippled, Coveters Move

Chapter 242 240: Lu Ruoxi: Looks Like I Really Have to Control You~

"Senior Sister Lu, I finally caught up to you."

"Can you give me a chance to explain?"

Pei Yuhang blocked Lu Ruoxi's path to prevent his Senior Sister from running away again.

Lu Ruoxi looked at her anxious Junior Brother Pei, her heart aching for him. But to maintain her current persona and use his kindness and guilt to keep him hooked, she snorted coldly and said sternly, "What is it you want to explain to me, Junior Brother Pei?"

"You haven't done anything wrong. It's only right that you keep your distance from me for Junior Sister Ye's sake. If anyone's done something wrong, it's me.

It seems I'm the one who should be apologizing to you."

After the master manipulator Lu Ruoxi finished, Pei Yuhang fell right into her trap and started trying to defend himself.

"Senior Sister Lu, I never thought that!"

"You never thought that? Then why did you pull away when I wanted to hug you?"

"I..."

Seeing Pei Yuhang falter, Lu Ruoxi sneered. "You were thinking about Junior Sister Ye, weren't you?

You think hugging me would be letting Junior Sister Ye down? Fine. I'll just never see you again, just like those thirty years after you and Junior Sister Ye became Dao Companions.

Let's sever our ties as fellow disciples. That way, you won't have to be responsible for that night anymore. I'll just pretend my Red Pill was broken by a Jade Rod, and that it had nothing to do with you, Pei Yuhang!"

Lu Ruoxi's eyes reddened, and her aggrieved tone made Pei Yuhang's heart twist in agony.

"How could I possibly blame you, Senior Sister? ...That night, I was drunk and ruined your innocence. I'm the one who let you down."

"I've always wanted to make it up to you!"

Hearing this, Lu Ruoxi suddenly moved closer to Pei Yuhang.

"Make it up to me? How could you possibly do that? Can you restore my, Lu Ruoxi's, purity with empty words? Or do you think my chastity can be bought with Spirit Stones and Magical Treasures?"

"..."

Looking at the speechless Pei Yuhang, Lu Ruoxi suddenly reached out and touched his chest. Her finger traced a path downward, and through the thin white robes, she could clearly feel the contours of the muscles beneath.

'The firm yet supple texture, combined with Junior Brother Pei's intoxicating scent... I'm practically drooling!'

She couldn't help but swallow hard.

"Senior Sister, what are you doing? Are you checking my qi meridians?"

When Lu Ruoxi suddenly put her hands on him, Pei Yuhang instinctively wanted to back away. But he remembered how taking just one step back a moment ago had triggered such an extreme reaction from her.

This time, he forced himself to suppress his discomfort and stand still, letting Lu Ruoxi's finger roam.

He forced a smile and tried to make a joke, hoping his Senior Sister would take the hint and stop.

But though the Pei Sword Immortal had offered her an out, Elder Lu saw it and casually dismantled it.

"Checking your qi meridians? Of course not. Surely Junior Brother knows the meridians aren't located on this little nub."

"Senior Sister is, right now, openly violating~ you."

As Lu Ruoxi spoke, her fingertips pinched and then rolled gently, as if polishing a prayer bead.

Pei Yuhang winced in pain and wanted to break free from Lu Ruoxi's bizarre harassment, but when he met her aggressive gaze, he felt an instinctual fear.

"Junior Brother, didn't you say you were sorry?"

"Didn't you say you couldn't make up for my Red Pill?"

"Then how about you betray Junior Sister Ye and give yourself to me as compensation?"

Pei Yuhang's mind went blank. He never imagined his always virtuous and respectable Senior Sister would say something so wanton and domineering, just like Shang Miaoyan.

He was about to refuse decisively, but then he saw Lu Ruoxi's pink lips part slightly, as if she were reciting some kind of Spell.

"Junior Brother Pei, your will is so strong. You still won't submit to me. I'm starting to admire Junior Sister Ye.

What method did she use to make you so devoted to her? It's obvious that in terms of wealth, status, or femininity, Junior Sister Ye can't compare to me. How vexing~"

"It seems I'll have to control you after all~!"

Lu Ruoxi watched as pink, heart-shaped Runes gradually appeared in Pei Yuhang's eyes. A smile she couldn't hide graced her full, red lips.

...

...

Qing Yueqiu and Pei Xiaohan arrived at the underground waterway connecting the outer and inner cities of the Secret Realm. The area was quiet and peaceful, with almost no sign of the Undead, nor any trace of other Cultivators.

Pei Xiaohan was naturally a chatterbox. Bored with the journey, she started trying to make conversation with Qing Yueqiu.

Qing Yueqiu only showed her true self in front of Pei Yuhang; to outsiders, she was as cold and sharp as a sword's edge. So, faced with Pei Xiaohan's attempts at conversation, she couldn't be bothered to give more than a cursory reply.

It wasn't until Pei Xiaohan started talking about her own master that Qing Yueqiu's ears perked up.

Pei Xiaohan proudly told Qing Yueqiu how good her master was to her, what a kind and elegant Fairy she was.

This affectionate master-disciple relationship made Qing Yueqiu feel a pang of envy.

"Yueqiu, what's your master like? Your Swordsmanship is filled with such heavy Killing Intent. Your master must be a very cruel person, right? He must have put you through trials straight from Hell since you were a child..."

"No! My master isn't cruel at all! He's the gentlest person in the world!"

Like a cat with its fur on end, Qing Yueqiu defended her master's image in front of Pei Xiaohan.

"Gentle? How gentle is he?"

Qing Yueqiu certainly wasn't going to tell a stranger the story of how she met her master. She thought for a moment and said, "My master is a true gentleman. He has the benevolence of a Saint and is unwilling to harm anyone around him."

...

"Senior Sister, don't..."

Pei Yuhang's eyes were glazed over. With the last shred of his consciousness, he tried to push away Lu Ruoxi, who was currently undressing him.

Lu Ruoxi licked the tip of her tongue and smiled. "Junior Brother, if you had just stabbed me with your sword a moment ago, you could have broken the Spell. But now, you've lost your last chance."

...

"He is a man truly worthy of entrusting one's life to. He would spend his entire fortune just to save my master's wife."

...

"Junior Brother, forget Ye Liyuan. From now on, call me wifey~"

Lu Ruoxi lifted Pei Yuhang's chin and blew a fragrant breath onto his face.

Hypnotized, Pei Yuhang's eyes were dazed. He murmured to Lu Ruoxi, "Wifey... I love you."

...

"He has a great sense of righteousness in his heart. He would never cross his bottom line, no matter what."

Qing Yueqiu recalled the rainy night she had knelt and begged her master, only to be rejected. The corners of her eyes glistened with tears, but she smiled.

...

"Husband, who do you think is prettier, Junior Sister Ye or me... Hmm? Tell me~"

"It's... It's you, wifey."

"Heehee~ Thank you, husband. Mwah~!!"

Lu Ruoxi brazenly pressed her rouged lips against Pei Yuhang's body, leaving her mark as if stamping her claim on her property.
