Volume 2, Chapter 113 – I’m Giving Her a Chance

Lu Zhuxin noticed her gaze.

The corners of her mouth lifted slightly as she raised her foot and kicked at the water’s surface.

The clear stream water splashed everywhere with the girl’s bare, fair feet.

The splashing water slightly dampened her light dress.

Lu Zhuxin didn’t deliberately use demonic power to dry these water stains, letting the wet hem cling to her calves.

The girl lightly stepped through the stream. The sparkling water surface reflected the fragmented morning light, the gentle water glow enveloping the girl’s delicate body, gracefully outlining her slender waist, creating a painting reflected in the water.

What a devastatingly beautiful, pure fox beauty.

It was hard to imagine that this pure, charming, and lovely fox beauty had previously been a man.

Qu Qingtang heard the girl’s sweet, light laughter.

“Does it look good, Immortal Venerable?” Lu Zhuxin said teasingly.

Qu Qingtang gazed at the fox clan beauty slowly approaching with a charming expression on her face, her own expression dark and uncertain.

“It looks good,” she said.

The incarnation of a divine being, how could it not look good?

It was just that the divine lord probably didn’t know the origin of this body.

Ming Zhaoxi couldn’t possibly let her know either.

Qu Qingtang looked up. “The Fox Monarch is absolutely beautiful, as beautiful as a divine being.”

Lu Zhuxin felt goosebumps rising on her skin.

How could this woman say such nauseating words?

“The Immortal Venerable’s mouth is as sweet as ever,” Lu Zhuxin said with a strange tone.

“Pale words are unable to describe even one ten-thousandth of the Fox Monarch’s beauty.” Qu Qingtang smiled.

Lu Zhuxin wanted to shut this woman’s mouth.

She walked ashore, her tender feet stepping on the path paved with bluestone.

Seeing this, Qu Qingtang said, “Little fox, put on your shoes. The ground is full of gravel that will cut your feet.”

Lu Zhuxin glanced at her.

This person was really humorous. Would an eighth realm cultivator’s feet be cut by gravel on the road?

“I threw away my shoes. Will you find shoes for me to wear, Immortal Venerable?” Lu Zhuxin smiled.

“Sure.” As Qu Qingtang spoke, she walked forward.

She even conveniently took out a pair of pink and white little flowered shoes from her storage space.

Lu Zhuxin was stunned watching this.

How was this woman this well prepared? Just how long had she been planning this?

Qu Qingtang crouched down in front of Lu Zhuxin and reached out to grab Lu Zhuxin’s foot. “Little fox, I’ll help you change shoes.”

Lu Zhuxin really wanted to kick this dangerous woman away.

But in the end, she held back.

She lifted her foot, allowing Qu Qingtang to put the new shoes on her.

During the process of putting on the new shoes, she even felt Qu Qingtang touch her calf.

Hey! Sister!

You’re pushing your luck a bit!

Are you afraid I won’t see that your intentions aren’t pure?

Lu Zhuxin shivered and stepped back two paces, distancing herself from this female pervert.

The shoes fit perfectly, as if they had been custom-made for Lu Zhuxin’s feet.

The shoes were beautiful, with pink orchids elegantly embroidered on the white surface.

This woman had indeed come prepared.

The corners of Lu Zhuxin’s mouth twitched. “The Immortal Venerable’s shoes are very pretty, but the Immortal Venerable’s hands are somewhat unclean.”

“Do you like them?” Qu Qingtang asked.

Was this woman really asking about the shoes?

Lu Zhuxin couldn’t help but roll her eyes. “Immortal Venerable Qu, do you really like women?”

[Host, why are you asking so directly?]

“Isn’t being direct good?” Lu Zhuxin said to the system. “Since we both know it well, why hide it?”

Qu Qingtang looked at Lu Zhuxin’s face but shook her head slightly. “Qingtang doesn’t prefer women. It’s just that the person Qingtang likes happens to be a girl right now.”

Lu Zhuxin couldn’t help but complain to the system again. “Look! Isn’t she even more direct than me?!”

[Then do you want to be even more direct than her?]

“She won’t be able to pursue a girl like this,” Lu Zhuxin said to the system.

[Host, you’re so knowledgeable. Have you pursued many girls?]

Lu Zhuxin was instantly choked up.

She decided to temporarily ignore this dog system.

“When the Immortal Venerable pursues the girl she likes, does she use such lines?” Lu Zhuxin said.

“This isn’t any random line,” Qu Qingtang said. “These are Qingtang’s sincere words.”

Lu Zhuxin felt that this Immortal Venerable in front of her who kept spouting nonsense must be a transmigrator.

She wouldn’t be able to say such greasy words if she hadn’t watched a few cheesy romance dramas before transmigrating.

Lu Zhuxin chuckled softly. She extended her hand and gently poked Qu Qingtang’s chest with her finger.

“Don’t tell me the Immortal Venerable thinks she can pursue a girl like this?”

Qu Qingtang’s eyes showed slight surprise as she raised her hand to grab Lu Zhuxin’s hand.

But Lu Zhuxin stepped back and nimbly dodged.

Her face carried a smile. “Has the Immortal Venerable not reflected on her behavior at all?”

Qu Qingtang’s raised hand stiffened slightly.

She looked at Lu Zhuxin’s smiling face.

That beautiful face seemed to be hinting at something in its expression.

“Qingtang doesn’t understand what the Fox Monarch means,” Qu Qingtang said.

Lu Zhuxin’s expression didn’t change, still smiling.

“Immortal Venerable, is this your first time pursuing a girl?”

“Has the Immortal Venerable not considered at all what the girl you like actually likes, what she actually wants?”

Lu Zhuxin spread her hands.

“Think again about what the Immortal Venerable has been doing recently.”

“Has the Immortal Venerable thought about how all her various actions will make the girl you like think?”

“Will it make her willing to get close to the Immortal Venerable, or will the Immortal Venerable push her further and further away?”

“After the Immortal Venerable thinks everything through clearly, then think carefully about how to interact with that girl.”

Qu Qingtang furrowed her brows.

She was about to open her mouth to ask, but Lu Zhuxin pressed her finger against Qu Qingtang’s lips first, making a “shh” gesture.

“I’ve already said this much. Don’t tell me I still have to teach the Immortal Venerable how to pursue a girl?”

“And…”

Lu Zhuxin smiled lightly. Her other hand traced along Qu Qingtang’s profile and gently pinched her cheek.

“The Immortal Venerable’s face is so beautiful. You should be good at pleasing girls, right?”

Lu Zhuxin released Qu Qingtang and, like a gracefully dancing butterfly, turned and left with light, cheerful steps.

[Host… what did you mean by all that just now?]

The system’s uncertain voice came through.

“Are you stupid?” Lu Zhuxin said irritably. “You can’t even see that?”

“I’m giving her a chance to be my girlfriend.”

[Eh? Why is the host suddenly willing to accept Qu Qingtang? Didn’t the host dislike Qu Qingtang before?]

Lu Zhuxin’s expression became dejected as she sighed. “I said it before, right? I’m tired.”

“I’m really tired.”

“I want someone who will treat me sincerely to help me.”

“Qu Qingtang likes me. I can see that.”

It was so obvious that it would be hard not to see it.

“She’s an Immortal Venerable of the Lingxiao Sword Sect with terrifyingly strong power. If I can get her help, it will reduce a lot of trouble in the days to come.”

“Compared to relying on powerful people drawn in through unstable interest relationships, a supremely powerful person who truly likes me is safer and more reliable.”

Lu Zhuxin sighed again. “But the prerequisite is that the Immortal Venerable changes those self-righteous bad habits of hers.”

“Otherwise, accepting her pursuit isn’t impossible.”

At the end, Lu Zhuxin quietly added in a small voice.

“Moreover, she really is quite pretty.”

Lu Zhuxin was a looks enthusiast.

The system heard Lu Zhuxin’s muttering.

[Ha! It’s good that the host has come around!]

[And host, don’t worry. Qu Qingtang isn’t stupid. She’ll definitely understand what you mean.]

The system’s tone was light and cheerful. On her invisible face, she seemed to already be wearing an auntie smile.

Lu Zhuxin lightly scoffed in her heart.

You actually believed it?

Accept Qu Qingtang? As if!

Lu Zhuxin had already reflected last night on the reason why everything had been going wrong during this time.

It was because she had easily given up the initiative in the matter of Qu Qingtang.

Yes, Qu Qingtang, this Venerable Saint, put too much pressure on Lu Zhuxin, causing Lu Zhuxin to instinctively choose to retreat in confrontations with Qu Qingtang.

It was precisely this retreat that brought the initiative into Qu Qingtang’s hands.

Facts proved that letting others have the opportunity to attack unscrupulously and take initiative was not a good thing, nor was it Lu Zhuxin’s style.

Therefore, in dealing with the matter of Qu Qingtang, Lu Zhuxin needed to regain the initiative.

Pretending to give Qu Qingtang an opportunity to pursue her was such a lead-in.

Constraining Qu Qingtang’s behavior back into Lu Zhuxin’s own rhythm.

Otherwise, Lu Zhuxin was somewhat worried whether, if she continued to resist Qu Qingtang’s approach, Qu Qingtang would launch a few more night raids.

“In a romantic relationship, the one who strings the other along can firmly hold the initiative.”

“Simps should be strung along.”

“And I’m not a simp.”

Lu Zhuxin muttered to herself.
