Chapter 1211: Eating Melon Ends Up Hitting Oneself

Yu Yanluo: “…”She looked utterly bewildered. Had Yan Xuehen hit her head?Yan Xuehen was also on the verge of fainting. How could she come up with such an idiotic excuse?

Behind the screen, Yun Jianyue almost burst out laughing. Usually, this ‘Ice Woman’ appeared so calm and composed, but she was surprisingly clumsy, and quite endearing.

Yu Yanluo looked at Zu An expressionlessly, needing an explanation from him.

Who knew Zu An would exclaim, “Oh, Daoist Master Yan, why are you here?”

Yan Xuehen: “…”He had just called her ‘Elder Sister’, but now she was ‘Daoist Master’?

Suddenly, she noticed Zu An desperately winking at her. She secretly chuckled, thinking he looked like his face was spasming, utterly hideous.

Still, she finally understood: “I just felt my injuries had recovered a bit, so I tried flying using my cultivation. I accidentally fell into the house. My apologies for disturbing you.”

Yu Yanluo remained expressionless, thinking, “Do you take me for a fool? If you accidentally fell here, how would Little White know you were hiding behind there?” However, given the current situation, she couldn’t expose the other party and simply remained silent.

Yan Xuehen naturally knew her spur-of-the-moment excuse wouldn’t fool the other person. She was so embarrassed she almost dug through the floor.

“Since it’s getting late, I won’t disturb your rest.”

Yan Xuehen was also annoyed. Just a few days ago, she had been so domineering, threatening Yu Yanluo. Now, she couldn't even lift her head in front of her and had to be careful. It was all Zu An’s fault, that scoundrel!

Zu An was also frustrated. “I’m trying to make excuses for you, so why are you still angry at me?” He wondered why only Yan Xuehen had come out.

“Daoist Master Yan, please take good care of your injuries as well.” Yu Yanluo composed herself. After all, the other person was a guest of noble status, and as the host, she shouldn’t overdo it.

Meeting her gaze, Yan Xuehen inexplicably felt guilty and avoided eye contact. She forced a smile, nodded, and then hurried away.

Behind the screen, Yun Jianyue breathed a sigh of relief. As expected, the ‘Ice Woman’ was too flustered; all her energy was focused on dealing with Yu Yanluo, and she completely forgot about getting revenge on me. This ‘Ice Woman’ was still too thin-skinned. If she had been born into our Sacred Cult, such a personality would have been easily exploited.

After Yan Xuehen left, Yu Yanluo’s expression turned completely cold: “I can’t believe it, you even managed to hook up with Daoist Master Yan?”

Zu An gave a wry smile: “Yanluo, you’ve misunderstood. She just came to visit me. She hid inside because she was afraid you’d misunderstand.”

“Oh, if you were truly innocent, why would you be afraid of a misunderstanding?” Yu Yanluo sneered.

“In the middle of the night, things can easily be misinterpreted. You know her status is special; she probably thought it was better to avoid trouble, but it still ended up being exposed,” Zu An explained. “By the way, do you have a video mirror here?”

Yu Yanluo’s beautiful brows furrowed: “What do you need that for?”

Zu An replied: “You know I left Yunzhong Commandery in a hurry to save you. I didn’t expect to be trapped beneath the ore veins afterward, and now I’ve even come to the demon race territory. I need to explain the situation to the envoy delegation, otherwise, I might be declared a wanted criminal when I return.”

Thinking that he had ended up in this situation because of her, Yu Yanluo’s heart softened. She took out a mirror from a storage pouch beside her and handed it to him: “I do have a video mirror, but if you activate it for a long time, the elemental stones it comes with might not be enough. Tomorrow, I’ll get a batch from the clan for you.”

Behind the screen, Yun Jianyue thought, ‘Yu Yanluo truly lives up to her reputation as the richest person; she’s incredibly wealthy. And Zu An’s ability to live off women is truly admirable.’

At that moment, Zu An’s voice rang out: “No need, I shouldn’t need it for long, and I have enough elemental stones here. You’ve just returned to the Snake Clan; it would be better to keep those for winning over people’s support.”

Hearing him consider her at every turn, Yu Yanluo’s expression softened even more. Yet, she couldn’t help but say, “I almost fell for your trick. Don’t change the subject. Tell me what exactly you and Yan Xuehen were doing in the room?”

Zu An felt a sharp pang of discomfort. Why was she still clinging to this? However, Yan Xuehen wasn’t Xiao Qing, and they hadn’t actually done anything, so he had a clear conscience: “Nothing really. She just helped me apply some medicine.”

“She helped you apply medicine?” Yu Yanluo’s eyes widened. In her mind, she pictured Yan Xuehen’s cold and haughty demeanor, radiating a chill that could be felt from a distance.Would a woman like that apply medicine for a man? And with his clothes off?

Behind the screen, Yun Jianyue nodded in profound agreement. When she first saw Yan Xuehen hiding there, she had already mostly figured it out and had been equally shocked.‘Hmph, Ice Woman, your image is completely ruined, isn’t it? Let’s see how you can keep up that pretense now.’

“Is there a problem?” Zu An asked, looking puzzled.

“Problem? Of course there’s a problem,” Yu Yanluo said expressionlessly. “I came at the wrong time.”

Thinking she was angry, Zu An quickly said, “No, no, no, you came at exactly the right time.”

“What ‘exactly the right time’? I interrupted your good fun,” Yu Yanluo seemed to say, almost stamping her feet.

Zu An couldn’t help but swallow: “Yanluo, don’t scare me. You can hit me or scold me, but don’t act like this.”

“I’m not kidding,” Yu Yanluo seemed a little surprised by his reaction. “If I had arrived later, in the middle of the night, with just the two of you, a man and a woman, you might have gone a step further.”

Zu An: “???”

Behind the screen, Yun Jianyue cast a sidelong glance, thinking, ‘Is there something seriously wrong with this woman?’

Seeing Zu An’s bewildered expression, Yu Yanluo quickly said, “Other women might be one thing, but with Yan Xuehen, I fully support you in conquering her. Think about it, she’s a Grandmaster and the Sect Master of White Jade Capital, the leader of the righteous path. If she becomes your woman, wouldn’t you be able to walk sideways across the world?”

Of course, there was something she didn't say: she still remembered being chased by Yan Xuehen a few days ago. Now that they had become friends from foes, it wasn’t convenient to exact revenge. But if Zu An also conquered Yan Xuehen, then as the one who entered first, she would be senior. Yan Xuehen would have to respectfully call her ‘Elder Sister’ in the future. The thought of that scene made her eyes light up with a smile.

Behind the screen, Yun Jianyue’s eyes also lit up. This was indeed a good idea. If Yan Xuehen was also taken by Zu An, and Yun Jianyue was Zu An’s elder, wouldn’t Yan Xuehen have to serve her tea and water? More importantly, with master and disciple sharing one man, if Yun Jianyue spread this news throughout the martial world, how could Yan Xuehen still be so arrogant? For years, everyone in the world had revered her like a fairy, and White Jade Capital had successfully deceived the world. If her image crumbled, wouldn’t their Sacred Cult rise to power and completely crush White Jade Capital underfoot? Thinking of this exciting prospect, she almost laughed out loud.

“Uh, I’m afraid that’s not quite appropriate,” Zu An said, sweating profusely. He had never imagined Yu Yanluo would have such an idea.

“What’s inappropriate about it?” Yu Yanluo snorted. “I don’t think just Yan Xuehen is enough. That Yun Jianyue also seems to have quite a good impression of you. Now, both of them are severely injured and rarely weak. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that no man would ever encounter. You should seize it well, marry both of them, and then the leaders of both the righteous and demonic paths will be your women. Then you can truly walk sideways across the world!”

Originally, Yun Jianyue was still gleefully enjoying Yan Xuehen’s misfortune, but upon hearing this, the smile instantly froze on her face.
