Chapter 117 Part 2: Knee Pillow, Kiss, Invitation to Fight (2)

The girl touched her reddened and wet earlobe, her delicate face blushing, and misting up with confusing water vapor in her eyes. She looked down at the disobedient puppy with some distress.

After sorting out some logic, Chu Yuanqing already figured out the reason behind it.

Xie Qingxuan’s situation was not a normal physiological reaction, but based on the amplification of magic after supplementing it, causing an overflow of magic at any time, penetrating and spreading into the soul, making the senses sharp and magnifying the desired results.

In simple terms, the person she was supplementing with magic had a magic quality that was too advanced.

This was the way it had to be. Chu Yuanqing was a magical girl created by a savior-like purpose, a saintly soul, and a pure heart.

If it weren’t for the pressure from the Sea of Truth, her lantern would be the highest quality pure white, way above the level of an average magical girl.

Even if the Sea of Truth made the lantern tattered, the magical power it produced was still far superior to that of a reserve witch like Xie Qingxuan.

In short, the golden retriever is beyond help now.

This situation is like a novice in the cultivation world meeting a natural immortal beauty with supreme abilities. Even if the latter is willing to cultivate together, the former might explode unintentionally.

Chu Yuanqing had to admit, this mess was still her fault, and she had to take full responsibility without a doubt.

But letting the golden retriever continue like this was not acceptable. The other person was surely only interested in girls because of the pleasure buff from magical emanation, and their interest in girls was forced by some unethical means.

If during this time, she engaged in any extreme lesbian behavior with the person, even after the buff wore off, her sexual orientation would be distorted towards lesbianism.

Just thinking about this outcome made Chu Yuanqing feel terribly guilty.

No, we must turn it back to the right position.

At least we can’t let the golden retriever stay abnormal.

So, even if it sounds like scolding, being a bit harsh on this child is inevitable!

“Little Qing?”

Xie Qingxuan tilted her head, blinked in confusion, and tugged at the person’s sleeve with her fingers, as if a dog pulling gently on its owner’s pant leg with its claws, trying to see if she could get some attention.

Chu Yuanqing resisted the urge to pat the girl’s head, gently removed her slender fingers, and whispered:

“Qingxuan, do you still remember our agreement?”

“Don’t cross this line when you go to sleep.”

“You used to be very well-behaved, but today you seem a bit disobedient.”

When Chu Yuanqing was around, her eyes were like a pool of gently rippling spring water, even with a serious expression, she still managed to convey a sense of softness through her gaze.

But now, the smile faded from her lips, her delicate features turned cold, and a hidden sense of detachment settled in. It was like a visible barrier around her heart, creating a distance that pushed people away. Her glances were light like clouds, slowly dissolving even disappointment into a more terrifying strangeness.

Chu Yuanqing did nothing but mimic a period of her past, embodying a detached persona. She stated, word by word:

“Perhaps, I should reconsider the distance between us.”

Confused.

The inner heat in Xie Qingxuan’s soul was suddenly extinguished by the coldness surging from within. She felt like a stranded cruise ship, sinking into the deep sea of stalled thoughts, unable to reach anything even when trying to rise up.

It was only at this moment that she began 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 paranoia. She craved affection, envying and sometimes even resenting her sister, yet she was unwilling to ask her parents for this emotional support in a vulnerable way.

Because this felt like begging for charity.

The love received through charity seemed superficial and hollow, emanating insincere indifference, only highlighting one’s own absurdity and foolishness.

Xie Qingxuan had strong self-esteem, so much so that even though she didn’t like the stage and wasn’t interested in idols, she could self-destructively immerse herself completely and elevate her relevant skills to the top level in the industry.

How could such a person bow down?

But Chu Yuanqing was different. The love and care she gave were selfless, genuine, pure feelings without flaws.

It wasn’t a lofty gift or charity like from a god, just plain and casual, feeling nothing special, like a gentle breeze through the mountains, like warm afternoon sunshine, precious yet ordinary offerings.

Therefore, individuals like Tang Liuli who curled up in their own worlds like hedgehogs could easily be pulled out of their social circles, their psychological defenses collapsing layer by layer.

So, Xie Qingxuan could playfully and affectionately interact with Chu Yuanqing without barriers, like a friendly dog without spikes or biases, even showing signs of attachment.

It wasn’t that they lacked love or were easy targets.

But people like Chu Yuanqing are too rule-abiding. She never asks for more from you, just uses her natural radiance to soften and heal your heart.

No one would dislike such a person.

No one would not like such a person.

Xie Qingxuan is no exception either.

But she never thought about what Chu Yuanqing really is to her – just a roommate, a precious friend, a passing stranger, or a future competitor. She never thought about her own position in Chu Yuanqing’s eyes.

Sometimes, when you enjoy certain benefits for too long, you can easily forget the reasons behind it, thinking it’s just the way things should be.

It’s the same now.

Only when Chu Yuanqing shows this kind of distance for the first time, she realizes belatedly that she actually has no right to act spoiled and demand things from the other person. All the intimacy before was just relying on the other’s gentleness.

Xie Qingxuan doesn’t feel sad, because the overwhelming emptiness of feeling left out swallows up all emotions. The swirling darkness in her eyes engulfs her, sinking into confusion like a abandoned street dog, not knowing which way to turn.

How should I apologize?

The girl looked sad, feeling lost strongly that even her blonde hair dimmed. She was upset about her clumsy words, looking very pitiful.

Chu Yuanqing felt a bit sorry, as she had intended to create some distance between them.

The golden retriever’s sickly appearance made it hard to scold him, especially since it was her fault. Her guilty conscience was almost overflowing.

Chu Yuanqing felt a bit guilty. She cleared her throat a few times, and when Xie Qingxuan still didn’t react, she gently rubbed her head, smoothed her silky platinum blonde hair, and comforted her, saying:

“Okay, I’m just not used to being so close to people. If you behave better next time, I won’t get upset.”

The darkness in Xie Qingxuan’s eyes shattered. She looked up straightly, observed Chu Yuanqing’s expression seriously for a while, confirmed that she showed no signs of reluctance or lying, and honestly apologized:

“It’s my fault for making Little Qing feel uncomfortable. I’m sorry.”

“Can Little Qing forgive me? I’ll do anything.”

Chu Yuanqing stayed silent, feeling like she had just said the same thing a while ago.

Oh no, why did she feel like she was tricking a fool 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 lie on her soft thighs. Seeing Xie Qingxuan obediently follow, Chu Yuanqing stroked her hair softly and whispered:

“I forgive you, but as a punishment, I owe you a six-minute kiss. The initiative now belongs to me.”

This was not about turning the tables on Xie Qingxuan as a magic tool.

It was simply considering Xie Qingxuan’s feelings, as if Xie Qingxuan accidentally kissed her and took the initiative in magic replenishment, it could cause major problems.

Xie Qingxuan nodded without any objections, being both obedient and gentle.

Chu Yuanqing rewarded her with some 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 and pink lips together with someone, swiftly breaking down barriers to touch the mucous membranes, becoming moist.

The whole action was done smoothly, the lantern swayed as she absorbed Xie Qingxuan’s excess magic like a succubus, taking it all in for herself, fulfilling her desires.

At last, the night ambush 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, there was a sudden knocking on the practice room door, signaling the arrival of an unexpected guest.

The visitor behind the door was the smiling Kirimi Miyuki.
