Volume 3, Chapter 438 – Chi Xiyan Is a Lecher

“Mm mm…”

The girl in her arms let out broken, sobbing sounds.

Her tensed body gradually went soft.

She gave up resisting, letting Chi Xiyan take whatever she wanted.

Chi Xiyan felt her surrender.

Like a fish slipping past the gate of her teeth, lingering in the sweet nectar.

She held the girl’s delicate body tightly, their two bodies pressed together without a gap between them.

Her nose and mouth filled with the fragrance she had longed for.

Chi Xiyan knew she had wanted to do this for a very long time.

Through all these years together, every careless touch from the other side had been an invisible kind of provocation.

Yet this girl had never been aware of it herself, always testing the dangerous edge without realizing it.

After holding herself back for so many years, Chi Xiyan had finally broken the chains binding her.

She had once imagined what she would do, if she truly made up her mind.

Test the waters slowly, bit by bit? Approach carefully at first, take a cautious taste and stop there? Wait until the moment was right, then find a chance to go deeper?

No.

At this moment, she realized her earlier thinking had been far too naive.

Restraint was like a dam.

When a dam could no longer bear the pressure built up over time, and finally broke completely.

The accumulated flood would sweep away everything in its path, crushing all reason.

She had overestimated her own self control.

She had also underestimated her own desire.

In the midst of her greedy taking, her hand instinctively drifted downward.

A light flick of her fingertips undid the girl’s skirt sash.

The girl felt her movement, and her body could not help but tremble lightly.

“Mm mm…”

The girl squirmed uneasily.

But she was immediately pinned down again by Chi Xiyan.

Her palm had already crossed past the fabric, reaching toward a place rarely touched at ordinary times.

So soft.

So supple.

So warm too.

Chi Xiyan found herself somewhat addicted to this sensation.

Though it was no longer the first time, it still left her unable to stop.

Smack, smack, smack!

The girl slapped Chi Xiyan’s back in protest.

Sobbing sounds spilled continuously from her mouth.

After the girl had struggled for a long while, Chi Xiyan finally let go of her, reluctant to do so.

“Chi Xiyan!”

The girl covered her chest, breathing in heavy, ragged gasps.

A thin mist of tears welled in her eyes, the corners tinged with a flush of red, and she glared at Chi Xiyan furiously.

“You lecher!”

Chi Xiyan pressed her lips together, savoring the taste from a moment ago. Her gaze drifted back to the girl’s lips.

Those lips still carried a moist sheen, red and full enough that they seemed as though they might drip water.

She lowered her eyes slightly and pulled her gaze away.

If she kept looking, she worried she would lose control of herself again.

Besides, now was not the time to continue with such things.

She composed herself for a moment, then spoke.

“Muxue, I know what you are worried about.”

“You are afraid of dragging me down.”

“You think that because of you, I have been pulled into trouble.”

“……” Hearing this, Chi Muxue’s angry retort died in her throat.

She pressed her lips together and lowered her head. “Is that not true… If it were not for me, you would never have caught the attention of those bad people.”

Chi Xiyan shook her head. “I do not think so.”

In truth, even without Chi Muxue’s sword dao sacred body, the Lingxiao Sword Sect would have set its sights on the Chi family regardless.

And the Chi family had far more than just the Lingxiao Sword Sect eyeing it with hungry eyes.

“Little Xue’er.” Chi Xiyan let out a soft sigh. “Have you forgotten what you said before?”

“You were the one who invited me first, that you and I would join hands and rule the Chi family together. So why is it that now, you want to shut me out?”

Chi Muxue was stunned for a moment. “Can that really be compared to this?”

“Why not.” Chi Xiyan cut her off. “Do you think I am the kind of person who can share the good times, but not the hard times?”

“I…” Chi Muxue bit her lip. “That is not what I meant, I only…”

Chi Xiyan let out a light laugh. “So now you think I am a burden to you?”

Chi Muxue quickly shook her head. “I have never thought that…”

“Then what exactly are you afraid of?” Chi Xiyan said. “I do not have your talent, nor the background of the Chi family’s eldest daughter. Aside from you, I have nothing at all.”

“For your sake, I am willing to risk everything I have.”

“So…” Chi Xiyan’s gaze burned as she stared into the girl’s eyes. “I do not think you have dragged me down. For your sake, I do this willingly.”

“Or is it that you do not believe I can beat Song Shixuan, and you cannot even give me that much trust?”

Chi Muxue lowered her head, her voice thin as a mosquito’s hum. “No, I have never thought that. I am the one who is afraid…”

Chi Xiyan pressed a hand on her shoulder. “A sword dao sacred body is destined to weather all manner of storms, and I have long since made my peace with that.”

“So do not be afraid anymore. No matter what happens, I will stay by your side.”

“I have already gathered the courage to take that step forward. Now, I want your answer. Will you let me face all of this together with you?”

Chi Muxue hesitated, her head lowered, the tip of her shoe restlessly scuffing at the ground.

Chi Xiyan said nothing, only waiting quietly for her answer.

“Three years.” Chi Muxue said in a low voice. “By the end of the three year pact, no matter the outcome, I will tell everyone.”

The girl raised her head, her gaze steady as she looked at Chi Xiyan. “The person I love is Chi Xiyan.”

Chi Xiyan felt as though her chest had been struck heavily.

Warmth surged and burst within her.

She had gotten her answer.

The girl she loved with all her heart loved her too.

Even now, deep in the midst of crisis, her girl had answered her steadfastly.

“Little Xue’er… I am truly so happy.”

Chi Xiyan said hoarsely.

She had never experienced a feeling like this before.

Both body and mind felt light, as though floating on clouds.

Like a walking corpse whose body and heart had been numbed by reality, feeling the joy of being alive for the very first time.

Could a single word, love, really bring someone this much joy?

Chi Xiyan thought to herself.

An indescribable emotion stirred within her heart.

It felt as though a realization was rising within her.

The Illusory Heart Formation, questioning one’s own heart, seeing one’s true nature through the heart.

Could this be what it meant?

Chi Xiyan felt as though she had found a way to break through her realm.

“Eldest Miss!” A voice called out from a distance, and a steward walked in, hesitation written across his face. “The family head is looking for you.”

“Looking for me?” Chi Muxue was surprised. “What does he want with me? Is it about the Lingxiao Sword Sect?”

Chi Xiyan frowned slightly beside her.

Chi Muxue continued, “If he has come to persuade me to submit to the Lingxiao Sword Sect, then go back and tell him to give up on that idea.”

The steward gave a bitter smile. “It is indeed related to the Lingxiao Sword Sect, but the matter concerns the Lingbao Commerce Association.”

“Several families that have long worked closely with us are planning to end their cooperation with us.”

“What?” Chi Muxue’s face showed shock. “Has the Lingbao Commerce Association not always been doing well? Why has it suddenly come to this?”

Beside her, a thoughtful look crossed Chi Xiyan’s face.

She could roughly guess the reason.

It must be the Lingxiao Sword Sect acting behind the scenes.

Using this method to put pressure on the Chi family.

For the head of the so called Seven Sword Sects to resort to such a underhanded method, it was truly laughable.
