Chapter 47
47. Xian Yun and Fei Xing
"Here, this is for you."
After Zi Yan left, Xian Yun handed Meng Lian a black eyemask.
What was this?
Meng Lian took it and felt it. It was very silky, with faint blue flowing light flickering across its surface.
"I heard from Junior Sister that you were looking for ways to freely enter and exit Nordlin. This is a little gadget I made. If you wear it when you sleep at night, it will mask your presence and prevent Nordlin from sensing you, so you won't be pulled in."
Hearing this, Meng Lian's eyes immediately lit up.
It was like getting a pillow just when she was feeling sleepy. She suspected today was her lucky day. First, she learned she had the Sky Mirage True Demon Pupils, giving her an advantage in learning illusion arts. Then she received the complete Sky Mirage True Demon Technique, so she wouldn't have to worry about her cultivation all the way to becoming a Great Witch. And now she got this eyemask that solved her Nordlin problem. She was both surprised and delighted.
"Junior Sister told me all of this. She cares deeply about everything concerning you."
Xian Yun watched Meng Lian's reaction and began putting in good words for Modu.
In truth, she and Modu had the closest relationship within the Illusion Academy. Although she constantly complained about Modu's outrageous behavior, Xian Yun still worried endlessly about Modu's lifelong happiness.
She was about to graduate and wouldn't be able to keep watching over Modu, who would soon become the Senior Sister of the Illusion Academy. Xian Yun hoped Modu would rein in her wandering heart and find a proper girlfriend.
Coincidentally, Modu was actually trying to become a pure love warrior for Meng Lian's sake. Although Xian Yun felt somewhat guilty toward Meng Lian, she still wanted Modu to successfully win her over. That way, Modu would have someone to keep her in check and wouldn't be so outrageous anymore.
Sigh. As the eldest Senior Sister, she had worried herself sick over her Junior Sisters. So she seized every opportunity to build up Modu's reputation in front of Meng Lian.
Senior Sister was that good?
Modu's ice queen beauty appeared in Meng Lian's mind, and a warm current flowed through her heart.
Senior Sister was truly beautiful inside and out, cold on the outside but warm on the inside. Love it, love it.
Meng Lian put away the eyemask and smiled sweetly at Xian Yun.
"Thank you, Eldest Senior Sister. Also, could you pass a message to Second Senior Sister for me? I really appreciate her remembering my affairs."
"Haha, it's only right. This is what we Senior Sisters should do."
For some reason, Xian Yun felt a bit guilty. She couldn't help wondering if giving such a nice little Junior Sister to someone like Modu was too cruel?
Meng Lian didn't know about Modu's checkered past. Right now, Modu appeared in her eyes as a gentle and reliable Senior Sister figure.
Having received so many benefits, Meng Lian was in high spirits and became quite chatty, discussing many interesting topics with Xian Yun and Fei Xing.
Eventually, mealtime arrived, and it was time for the three to part ways.
"Does your conscience not hurt?"
After Meng Lian's figure disappeared from view, Fei Xing, still in Xian Yun's arms, pouted with a look of disdain.
She knew exactly what kind of person Modu was and all the outrageous things she had done.
"Well... Junior Sister has changed now. She shouldn't do those things anymore in the future..."
Xian Yun wasn't so confident either.
"Sigh, even rabbits don't eat the grass by their own burrow."
Fei Xing sighed and began to sympathize with Meng Lian.
"Then... why did you eat me?"
Xian Yun smiled mischievously, lowered her head, and leaned close to Fei Xing's ear, breathing out warm air that made Fei Xing's face turn completely red.
"That's completely different! What happened between us was in Nordlin. In reality, we're just Senior and Junior Sisters... Right, just Senior and Junior Sisters!"
"Is that so?"
Xian Yun's eyes were full of smiles. She turned Fei Xing around to face her, then gazed tenderly at those thin lips, her expression becoming somewhat dazed. She leaned down and slowly approached Fei Xing's face.
Xian Yun's warm breath fell on her face. Fei Xing's heart pounded wildly. She wanted to turn her head away but found her body stiff and completely strengthless. She resigned herself and closed her eyes, feeling even a trace of anticipation rising within her.
However, the soft sensation she imagined never came. Fei Xing opened her eyes and saw Xian Yun looking at her with a teasing smile.
"You, you!"
Realizing she had been tricked, Fei Xing felt both embarrassed and angry. She pushed Xian Yun away and tried to storm off in a huff. Xian Yun knew she might have gone too far. She chuckled softly, then grabbed Fei Xing's wrist and, under the other's shocked gaze, gave her a deep kiss.
"Delicious~"
When they separated, Xian Yun savored the feeling. Sure enough, it felt completely different from in Nordlin.
Fei Xing stood frozen in place, her small face bright red, her eyes spinning in dazed circles.
"Ahhhhh, my first kiss that I've preserved for so many years!"
"Oh my, wasn't Little Star's first kiss already taken by me long ago?"
"That was in Nordlin, it doesn't count!"
"Is that so? What a pity... Oh well, Little Star's first kiss in reality is mine too~"
"You! I! Ahhhh, I said we're just Senior and Junior Sisters! Whatever we did in Nordlin was in an illusion, you, you..."
Steam rose from Fei Xing's head, and she was so embarrassed she couldn't even speak properly.
Seeing this, Xian Yun smiled gently. She hugged Fei Xing and leaned close to her ear.
"Then why don't you just be my girlfriend in reality?"
"I..."
"What, you don't agree? Boo hoo hoo, I knew Little Star only saw me as a toy. Now that you've had your fun, you won't take responsibility. Boo hoo hoo, I'm so heartbroken."
"Stop saying things that cause misunderstandings! I, I agree, alright!"
Fei Xing symbolically struggled a few times, then agreed with a flushed face.
"Yay! So, do you want to stay at my place tonight?"
"Huh? Isn't that too fast?"
"We've done it so many times already, what are you shy about?"
"I said that was in Nordlin!"
Fei Xing thought back to their history together in Nordlin, and a smile appeared on her face.
"Those were still things that happened between the two of us. Hehe, Little Star better not deny it~"
"Hmph!"
Fei Xing gave a cute little huff, but the smile on her face couldn't hide the excitement in her heart.
Xian Yun was right. The things that happened between them, whether in Nordlin or in reality, their hearts had long been together. It was just that in reality, both had tacitly kept this feeling hidden. Who would have thought that on this ordinary morning, at this ordinary gathering, Xian Yun would suddenly confess? Everything seemed so absurd yet so natural.
"Speaking of Nordlin, how about it? Want to enter Nordlin again tonight? My goodness, doing it in reality and in Nordlin, I can't even imagine how amazing that would feel."
"You've got lust on the brain! In Nordlin, we're still trapped in the Sky City right now. Is that a place for doing that kind of thing? Didn't we already agree to wait until we're stronger before entering Nordlin again? If you go in now, you're just going there to die!"
Fei Xing rolled her eyes.
In Nordlin, they were currently trapped in the Sky City, facing an unprecedented crisis. To keep their Nordlin selves from dying, they had decided to take a break from entering Nordlin and lay low in reality for a year or so, waiting until they grew stronger before going back.
But thinking about it, it was rather funny. Other people laid low in Nordlin to grow stronger, then showed off and slapped faces in reality. But the two of them were doing the opposite, using reality to save their Nordlin selves.
Fei Xing and Xian Yun went through all this trouble for two reasons. One, they didn't want to miss out on Nordlin. But more importantly, Nordlin held too many precious memories between them, beautiful memories that neither could bear to let go.
"Hehe, isn't it even more exciting in that kind of environment?"
