120: Senior sister, you are full of moral ethics, but you are one step ahead of me

"Sister Qiuyue, why do you smell like Lu Ming?"

As soon as she spoke, the air at the city gate instantly solidified.

Bai Qiuyue's body stiffened abruptly, as if she had been subjected to a petrifying spell.

"The late emperor started his great enterprise but collapsed midway..."

The first line of "Chu Shi Biao" echoed repeatedly in her mind.

She had clearly tidied herself up thoroughly before entering the city, and she believed her concealment was perfect.

She didn't expect Luo Keke's nose to be so keen.

However, Director Bai still had some composure.

She nonchalantly raised her hand to smooth her sleeve, as if that could cover the faint scent on her body.

Then, she extended a fair, delicate finger and gently poked Luo Keke's forehead, her voice carrying a hint of reproach.

"You... you little girl, I've been missing for days, and you don't even care about me when I return!"

Bai Qiuyue composed herself, adopting the authority of an elder, and explained:

"We encountered many dangers in the Black Abyss, so it's normal to have to stay close to each other and pick up some scent, isn't it?"

But even she felt guilty saying this.

Because the two of them were indeed too close, the distance had once broken through... Luo Keke shrank her neck back from the poke, her pink twin pigtails swaying.

"Why wouldn't I care about Sister Qiuyue! For the past three days, I've been waiting for you to come back with Sister Qingge every day, and I even specially saved you some osmanthus cakes!"

Seeing that she had indeed diverted Luo Keke's attention, Bai Qiuyue immediately felt relieved.

As expected of me!

However, her heart quickly tightened again.

Luo Keke blinked her big blue eyes, still a bit unconvinced, and tilted her head, seriously saying:

"That's not right, Sister Qiuyue, you were close to Lu Ming before too, but I didn't smell him on you then!

This time the smell is so obvious, it's like... it's like you two have been together the whole time!"

As she spoke, she leaned closer to Bai Qiuyue and sniffed lightly, her small face full of confusion: "There really is some! Sister Qingge, you smell it too!"

Zhao Qingge was originally immersed in the joy of reunion, but hearing Luo Keke's words, her heart tightened.

Her little rascal and her senior sister got mixed up?

Her brows furrowed slightly, and she looked at Bai Qiuyue's gentle and poised face with some suspicion.

Seeing that her expression showed no trace of panic, she couldn't help but inwardly sneer.

I actually want something to happen between them so that my plan can proceed smoothly.

But this is simply not realistic!

She understood Bai Qiuyue too well; her senior sister looked soft and weak, like a widow-to-be.

But she always had a clear sense of right and wrong, always composed and dignified, acting according to rules.

If someone said she was involved with Lu Ming, Zhao Qingge wouldn't believe it for a second.

Perhaps something unexpected happened in the Black Abyss.

Zhao Qingge's gaze towards Bai Qiuyue held a hint of inquiry: "Senior sister, you've been delayed for so long... did something happen?"

Hearing this, Bai Qiuyue's heart beat even faster, as if it was about to jump out of her throat.

"The delay is all because this little scoundrel kept dragging his feet!"

Bai Qiuyue subtly shot a glance at Lu Ming, who was pretending to be uninvolved.

Of course, she wouldn't dare say this to her junior sister.

Bai Qiuyue gently shook her head, her voice tinged with fatigue: "I got a little injured, but it's fine now."

"Senior sister, you're injured!"

Zhao Qingge's voice was clearly worried. She stepped forward a few paces, grabbed Bai Qiuyue's arm, and said urgently: "Where? Let me see!"

Luo Keke also stopped pursuing the scent issue, her small face anxiously leaning in: "Sister Qiuyue, where are you hurt? Is it serious? Did that big monster hurt you?"

"It's nothing, I encountered a clone of an Evil God and accidentally got a little... curse."

Bai Qiuyue thought for a moment and decided it would be wise to reveal some information to them.

There was an advantage to doing this.

If her and Lu Ming's matter couldn't be kept secret in the future, she could use this curse as an excuse.

As for the curse... with Lu Ming around, it was naturally not an issue; what she felt more was... guilt.

"Junior sister, junior sister, I'm truly sorry, but I borrowed your niece's man to detoxify..."

The air at the city gate solidified again, but this time it was with tension and dread.

"Evil God clone?!"

Zhao Qingge's voice suddenly rose, and the strength in her hands increased a bit. She grabbed Bai Qiuyue's arms, her expression instantly becoming extremely solemn.

"Senior sister, I'll take you back to see Master right now!"

Zhao Qingge's reaction was even more intense than Bai Qiuyue had anticipated.

Upon hearing that Bai Qiuyue had been cursed by an Evil God, she could no longer entertain wild thoughts.

As the local head of the Night Watch Division and a direct disciple of Luo Yuheng, Zhao Qingge also knew some secrets.

Although she didn't know what type of curse her senior sister was afflicted with, she was already very lucky to be alive and back.

If the curse couldn't be suppressed and removed in time, her life would probably be in grave danger!

"See Master?"

"No, I'll be expelled from the sect!"

Bai Qiuyue's heart tightened. If Master was alarmed, then her affair with Lu Ming would be completely exposed.

"Wait! Qingge, calm down!"

Bai Qiuyue quickly grabbed Zhao Qingge's arm in return: "Master is currently suppressing the restricted area of the Demon Capital; now is absolutely not the time to alarm Master!"

"Besides, regarding the curse, I have my own way to resolve it."

Zhao Qingge's steps halted, and she looked at Bai Qiuyue suspiciously: "Senior sister, you have a way to resolve the curse?"

She was aware of her senior sister's abilities, but how terrifying was an Evil God's curse?

It was by no means something that ordinary elixirs or spells could easily resolve.

Bai Qiuyue met Zhao Qingge's suspicious gaze, feeling extremely guilty.

She certainly had a method.

It was just that the treatment period was a bit long.

A hundred times was the minimum.

But she couldn't say any of this.

So, she could only force herself to appear composed, squeezing out a reassuring faint smile.

"Yes, this method is a bit special. You'll know when you have the chance in the future."

Bai Qiuyue spoke mysteriously, leaving Zhao Qingge completely bewildered.

However, she suddenly remembered Lu Ming's peculiar physique.

She subconsciously looked at her senior sister's face.

Seeing that her complexion was radiant, although slightly tired, it subtly revealed an inner glow, and her eyes were brighter than usual.

Zhao Qingge's confusion was suddenly replaced by a bold thought.

Could it be... that her senior sister's curse needed Lu Ming to resolve it?

It shouldn't be that extreme, right?

But what if it was true?

Damn it!

Senior sister, you talk about morals and ethics, but you got ahead of me!

As soon as this thought surfaced, Zhao Qingge couldn't stop it.

I was first, clearly.

Her mind immediately became a mess.

Zhao Qingge wanted to drag her senior sister into trouble, but the problem was that she was still standing on the shore.

So, who was dragging whom into trouble?

However, the matter had not yet been confirmed, so she could only observe it slowly later.

"That's good then, Senior sister, let's go into the city first."

Zhao Qingge shook her head, discarding those jumbled thoughts.

Then, she turned to look at Lu Ming, her gaze meaningful.

"Let's go, Lu Ming, you've worked hard too."
