232: Xiao Qingyue's regret

A few minutes later.

Xiao Qingyue's sanity was on the verge of collapse.

Her small hands became restless, starting to grope blindly at the youth.

In the darkness, Su Quan frowned.

In his eyes, it was far from time for a showdown.

So he leaned his lips close to the girl's translucent earlobe and murmured, "Sister Qingyue, don't be like this, I'm a bit... scared!"

The youth's voice was like a morning bell and evening drum, jolting the dazed Xiao Qingyue awake.

Regaining her senses, her delicate body broke out in a cold sweat, and she abruptly pulled away from Su Quan's masculine, hot body.

The girl, who was usually aloof and cold like a green lotus above the Nine Heavens, was now like a child caught red-handed. Her eyelids lowered, her beautiful face flushed with shame, and she whispered, "Xiao Quan, I'm sorry, I... I didn't mean to just now, I was just... a bit too moved!"

Moved?

If you're moved, why are you touching me?

Su Quan grumbled to himself.

Of course, he wouldn't say such things out loud. Instead, he gave a warm smile and said, "Sister Qingyue, there is nothing between us and we have a clear conscience. A hug is no big deal, but if word got out, it would ultimately be bad."

Xiao Qingyue didn't dare look directly into the youth's honest and clear eyes. She gripped her robe tightly and changed the subject, "I'll try on the Immortal robe first, Xiao Quan, you..."

"Don't worry, I won't peek!"

Su Quan covered his eyes with both hands and said, "My mother taught me when I was little that looking at a woman's body will give me sties!"

Hearing this, Xiao Qingyue couldn't help but smile faintly.

True, she had been conservative for so many years.

Xiao Quan was a boy; even if he accidentally saw something, he would be the one at a disadvantage. What did she, a woman, have to worry about?

Then, her jade-like feet stepped onto the moonlit floor, and the green robe draped over her body slowly slid off.

Unlike Xiao Ziyue's petite and thin frame, the girl's figure was extremely beautiful—curvy and plump, slender where it should be and full where it should be, like a ripe peach bursting with juice.

"Alright, Xiao Quan, you can open your eyes now!"

Xiao Qingyue said softly.

Su Quan opened his eyes and looked.

Under the moonlight, a tall and beautiful girl stood proudly. The pure white Rainbow Immortal Robe draped over her body was elegant and grand, adding a lot of ethereal Immortal charm to her.

Her smooth green hair hung down to her waist, and her skin was fair and tender, shrouded in the aura unique to an Immortal. Her long, straight, and shapely legs peeked out from under the Immortal skirt, sparking one's imagination.

Combined with the coldness and arrogance etched into her bones, it was truly hard to look away.

"The Immortal Qi flow in the robe is very smooth. Xiao Quan, your craftsmanship is truly amazing. Even the Great Masters of the Myriad Treasures Pavilion are only at this level."

Xiao Qingyue nodded in satisfaction.

"Of course, I'm an experienced craftsman!" Su Quan smiled shyly.

Seeing the look of amazement on Su Quan's face, a playful curve appeared at the corner of Xiao Qingyue's lips, and her body closed in on the youth like a ghost.

"Xiao Quan, does your Sister Qingyue look good?"

"Of course you do. Sister Qingyue's appearance is one of the most outstanding in the entire Immortal Realm." Su Quan spoke very frankly.

After all, she was an "SSS-grade" Daughter of the Heavenly Dao recognized by the System!

Xiao Qingyue was secretly delighted, and her playful smile deepened. As her beautiful eyes flickered, she suddenly asked, "Then Xiao Quan, tell me, am I better looking, or is Ziyue?"

"Ah!"

Su Quan immediately acted stunned by the sudden question, and then his tone became a bit annoyed as he said unnaturally, "Sister Qingyue, what are you doing!"

"Nothing, I just wanted to ask!" Xiao Qingyue laughed.

"In my heart, of course Sister Ziyue... is the best looking!" Su Quan's voice sounded very unconfident.

The smile on Xiao Qingyue's face didn't fade.

In fact, she already knew the correct answer from Su Quan's eyes.

Then, she turned and walked to the Immortal mirror. The mirror reflected a proud and cold girl with long, narrow, and enchanting phoenix eyes, and features so exquisite that no flaw could be found.

To be fair, she was still very confident in her appearance.

Although she and her sister Xiao Ziyue were twins, and their faces were almost identical except for their hair and pupil color, their figures and temperaments were two completely different styles.

Her sister's figure was thin; how could it compare to her own fullness?

In the eyes of most Immortal men in the Immortal Realm, the fair, thin, and youthful look didn't fit their aesthetic; a plump woman like her was their favorite.

It was just a pity... back then, she had been blinded by the Divine Thought Daoist, allowing her sister to beat her to the punch.

Thinking of this, her mood dampened again.

Su Quan, sitting not far away, glanced at the moonlight outside the window, stood up, and said, "Sister Qingyue, it's almost dawn. I should go back and rest now!"

"Okay!"

Xiao Qingyue nodded slightly, hiding her reluctance deep in her eyes.

"If you're ever in a bad mood again, you can call me anytime. I don't have much ability and can't help with other things, but I can at least keep you company to relieve your boredom." Su Quan's smile was gentle.

Ever since the Divine Thought Daoist and Xiao Qingyue had a complete falling out, he had taken many opportunities to step in, frequently sneaking in at night while the girl was feeling low.

Under the guise of helping her talk things through, the relationship between the two had quickly warmed up.

The hostility from when they first met was long gone.

Instead, they were more like close male confidants.

"Goodbye!"

Su Quan waved his hand, his figure disappearing outside the hall, and he even thoughtfully closed the door behind him.

Xiao Qingyue stood under the moonlight, her beautiful eyes blurred, silent for a long time, her thoughts seemingly leaving with the youth.

Suddenly, her gaze fell on the tabletop, where a ring lay quietly.

Xiao Qingyue walked forward quickly, took the ring in her palm, and used her Divine Sense to investigate. About two thousand hunyuan immortal crystals lay quietly inside, along with an image transmission from Su Quan.

"Sister Qingyue, I saved up these Immortal crystals before. You're short on resources now, so take them to Cultivate. Don't be polite with Xiao Quan. Raise your Realm as quickly as possible so you can rescue your Revered Master!"

"Xiao Quan!"

Xiao Qingyue murmured softly.

Because she was gripping so hard, her fingers sank deep into her flesh.

It felt as if a warm current was surging through her body, and her beautiful eyes unknowingly became sore and moist.

Since the day of her Immortal Ascension, she had never thought she would one day be moved to tears by a man.

The ugly face of the Divine Thought Daoist appeared in her mind; he only ever wanted to take resources and treasures from her.

But Su Quan had proactively given her the hunyuan immortal crystals he had saved up by being frugal.

In her eyes, these weren't just Immortal crystals; they were Xiao Quan's pure, flawless, and incredibly precious heart!

Why?

Why was the person who chose Xiao Quan to be a Dao-Protecting Cauldron her sister and not herself?

A trace of regret began to surface in her mind.

At the same time, the System's notification sounded in Su Quan's ear.

"regret value from Xiao Qingyue, 336 points!"
