433: Chapter 433 Saying no with the mouth, but the body says yes
Ziyi's tone was gentle.
"We're just concerned about you."
"After all, you were lying flat on the ground for half a day without moving, and we thought your eight-thousand-year Dao Heart had just shattered like that."
King Feiyun let out a soft "Mn" from the side and added,
"We originally wanted to wait for you to recover before leaving, but seeing how absorbed you were in lying there, we didn't have the heart to call out to you."
Moli was so angry she felt like her lungs were about to burst.
She took a deep breath and slammed the table with a smack:
"That's not what the two of you were saying just a moment ago!"
"Oh?" King Feiyun raised an eyebrow, "Then what did we say earlier?"
Moli choked slightly on that "Oh" and opened her mouth:
"You guys clearly said... said..."
Moli recalled and realized that King Feiyun and Ziyi hadn't really said anything harsh.
Even when they were talking about her in the bridal chamber.
They used that tone of "Look, now you know you regret it, right?" and questioned her one sentence after another.
Every single sentence followed right after her own words.
She couldn't even find a foothold to refute them.
Moli's little face flushed red, and after holding it in for a long time, she finally squeezed out:
"The two of you are just doing this on purpose!"
Ziyi picked up her teacup, took a sip, and unhurriedly said: "Sister Moli, we're just learning from you."
"Learning what?"
"Learning how to tease people."
Moli was so choked by her words about "teasing people" that she almost spat out all the steamed cake she had just eaten.
King Feiyun put down her wine glass and looked at her puffy, angry appearance.
A faint flash of light that could almost be called "comfort" flickered in her eyes.
Having lived for so many years, she rarely had the opportunity to give someone a taste of their own medicine.
Moli usually loved watching other people's excitement and making fun of others.
Today, it was finally her turn to be teased to her face.
Ziyi obviously thought the same way.
The two of them, one on the left and one on the right, returned the favor sentence by sentence, just like Moli had teased them earlier.
With every sentence spoken, Moli's face puffed up a fraction more.
With every sentence spoken, the roots of Moli's ears turned redder by an inch.
"Sister Moli, don't you love watching the excitement most? How was today's excitement? Are you satisfied?"
"Before, you said the two of us 'definitely wanted to watch but were too embarrassed to say it.' Aren't we just helping you now?"
"That's right, helping you see things more clearly."
"Lest you say next time, 'Oh my, I didn't see anything at all.'"
Sandwiched between the two of them, Moli glared at them indignantly: "I was doing that for your own good!"
"Mm, we're also doing this for your good," King Feiyun replied without changing her expression.
"We were afraid you wouldn't be able to sleep out of curiosity, which is why we brought you inside."
"Haven't you always wanted to know what was special about Lin Yun? Well, now you've seen it."
That mouth of Moli's, which usually ranted against the heavens, the earth, and Xuanyin,
at this moment seemed to be locked by something.
She could only puff out her cheeks and glare with wide eyes.
Looking at the two women in front of her who had proper smiles and composed tones,
yet whose eyes clearly spelled out, "Go ahead, keep talking."
The dining room fell silent for a moment.
Moli's cheeks finally slowly deflated.
She picked up her wine glass, took another sip, put it down, and asked ungraciously:
"Fine, fine, I won't argue with you two."
"You two looked for so long just now, did you actually find anything?"
King Feiyun's expression sank slightly.
Ziyi also reined in the smile at the corner of her mouth and shook her head.
King Feiyun was silent for a moment before speaking: "No."
Ziyi also sighed along: "We can't see anything at all."
Hearing this, Moli clicked her tongue with a "Tsk."
Leaning back, her tone carried undisguised disdain:
"You two really aren't as good as Xuanyin."
King Feiyun and Ziyi looked at her simultaneously.
Moli spread her hands:
"What are you looking at? I'm telling the truth."
"Xuanyin realized something was wrong with herself on the spot, dragged the two of you down with her in turn, and then ran away without any hesitation."
"And what about the two of you?"
"You watched for a whole night... no, two nights, and didn't see a single thing."
"Xuanyin figured it out all by herself; the two of you combined don't even add up to half of her."
The faces of the two darkened slightly by a shade.
But what Moli said was a fact.
They truly hadn't discovered anything.
King Feiyun was silent for a moment, then suddenly asked: "What about you?"
"What?"
"Right now, towards Lin Yun, do you have that kind of... urge to like him?"
Moli was stunned, then sprang up like a kitten whose tail had been stepped on: "No!"
"I certainly don't! I'm just curious!"
Watching her reaction, King Feiyun's tone remained calm: "Your face was completely red in the bridal chamber just now."
Moli: "That was from the heat!"
Ziyi added from the side: "You lay flat on the ground for half a day without getting up."
Moli: "I was just tired!"
The two clearly didn't believe what Moli said.
They both felt that she had also been affected by Lin Yun.
Moli felt completely uncomfortable under their gaze.
She picked up her wine glass and gulped down a large mouthful.
Putting down the cup, she puffed out her cheeks and glared at the two of them:
"It's fine if you two fell for it yourselves, don't drag me into this."
"Anyway, I definitely don't!"
"Stop worrying about me, you two should worry about yourselves first."
"Xuanyin has already run off, yet the two of you are still lingering here."
"One at the Ninth Rank, one at the Eighth Rank, falling into the hands of a Sixth Rank bratβif word gets out, where will you put your faces?"
"Besides, my composure is much stronger than yours."
"I'm not like certain people who say no with their mouths, but whose bodies are very honest."
"Clearly saying they'd just take a look from afar, but in the end running straight into his room to watch."
King Feiyun and Ziyi's faces instantly darkened.
Seeing them like this, Moli finally vented half her frustration.
She leaned back, crossed her legs, and held the wine glass with her small hand.
Her face couldn't be more smug.
The three of them fell silent like this for a moment.
Having drunk enough, Moli spoke up to pull the topic back:
"But seriously, what on earth did Xuanyin discover?"
"She wouldn't even tell me, which shows that thing really can't be explained with words."
"You have to experience it yourself."
"Yet the two of you experienced it for a whole night, and didn't feel a thing."
"Could it be that only a Physique like Xuanyin's can detect it?"
King Feiyun thought for a moment and slowly spoke: "Not necessarily."
"King Xuanyin is a top expert in the Dao of Charm, and her perception method is different from ours."
"What she sees, we might not be able to see at all."
"But that doesn't mean we'll never see it."
Ziyi chimed in from the side:
"But we really can't see it right now."
"Then what should we do?"
"We can't just keep going like this forever, can we?"
Moli scratched her head:
"Then let's just leave it be for now."
"Anyway, there's no rush."
"I'll find a way to contact Xuanyin. If I can ask it out of her, I will; if not, we'll think of other ways."
