043 Night Seven’s Twisted Madness

Jun Shaomo tilted her small head, blinking her large black eyes as she gazed at Yun Feiyue. “Miss Yun, have you ever seen the Seven Absolute Flower?”

Yun Feiyue finally came to herself, offering a gentle smile. “Ah, no, no! How could I have seen the Seven Absolute Flower? I only came across it in an ancient book not long ago, and was just curious.”

Little Mumu looked up at Yun Feiyue with an adorably bewildered expression. “Mother, do you really know how to read?”

“……”

“Slap—” Yun Feiyue landed a perfectly aimed punch on Little Mumu’s head, then pointed disdainfully to the corner of the wall. “Go plant mushrooms!”

Obediently, Little Mumu shuffled away, climbed onto a beautiful maid’s chest, and lay there crying while kneading the soft spot.

A string of black lines appeared across Yun Feiyue’s forehead. Out of sight, out of mind—she turned away, pretending not to see.

Jun Shaomo gave an awkward chuckle. “This child really is… quite sensible.”

Yun Feiyue ignored the remark and promptly changed the topic. “Actually, there’s something else. I heard you’re going to participate in the Tianwu Ranking competition?”

Jun Shaomo wasn’t sure why Yun Feiyue asked, but after thinking for a moment, she nodded slightly. She was the youngest person to ever compete in the Tianwu Ranking, her talent extraordinary.

It was Yun Feiyue’s first time interacting with Jun Shaomo, but she’d heard that Jun Shaomo also had a sister with remarkable talent, formidable in every way. The Southern Kingdom, long the weakest of the four nations, had begun to inspire hope thanks to the rise of these two prodigious girls.

“Why don’t we work together?” Yun Feiyue needed a partner.

Jun Shaomo looked at her in confusion. “Why cooperate? It should be easy for Miss Yun to make it into the top ten.”

Yun Feiyue smiled slightly. The top ten wasn’t her goal. “I want to be among the top five.” Only the top five could enter the Phoenix Forest.

“I heard the first round of the Tianwu Ranking is a melee. Fifty winners are chosen from the chaos, who then face off in duels. In the end, only five advance. So, we can team up in the first round, eliminate potential threats quickly, and the subsequent matches will be much easier. What do you think?”

Jun Shaomo was considering the idea. It was shameless, but practical. Her sister, Jun Qianyue, would be competing too, and she wanted to protect her until the very end.

Yun Feng, who had remained silent, finally spoke. “Yue’er, as a warrior, I refuse!”

“I agree,” Jun Shaomo said, extending her hand to shake Yun Feiyue's.

Yun Feiyue shook her head and taught Jun Shaomo to raise her hand. “Slap!” The two struck palms. “Alright, that’s settled.”

Jun Shaomo smiled faintly, finding this Miss Yun rather amusing. She wasn’t as cold as the rumors claimed—actually quite lively. It was a personality she liked.

As for Yun Feng, “You really won’t agree?”

Yun Feng glanced at the soft, pink-faced Jun Shaomo, then at Yun Feiyue, who didn’t care about him at all, and replied quietly, “I agree.”

Hm, Yun Feiyue had known Yun Feng would give in. She cast him a thoughtful glance.

Yun Feng felt uneasy under her gaze, awkwardly stood up, and said, “I’m leaving. I promised a friend I’d practice swordplay.”

Yun Feiyue waved her hand. “Take care.”

Yun Feng, as if released from prison, quickly left the Scarlet Blossom Pavilion.

Jun Shaomo and Yun Feiyue chatted a while longer before departing. Yun Feiyue didn’t get any useful information from Jun Shaomo, but their relationship improved considerably.

Night fell, and a shadow flashed outside the window.

Yun Feiyue rubbed her eyes. “Whoever’s outside, either get lost or come in. Don’t play at peeping.”

The person outside happily kicked open the door and struck a seductive pose. “I can’t sleep tonight, so I’m borrowing your bed.”

Yun Feiyue shivered. Women shouldn’t act so affected. “Enough! Don’t think I don’t know the old man had someone make you a new bed today, the same style as mine!”

Ye Qi snorted with dissatisfaction. “Don’t mention it! One kick and I smashed it. I’m rather troubled myself!”

Damn! A bed worth thousands of taels destroyed in a single kick!

“You weren’t this extravagant back in Jing Kingdom! Breaking my things again! Get out, you big-footed brute!” For some reason, Yun Feiyue’s temper always flared around Princess Ye Qi.

Princess Ye Qi’s brows knit. “That’s why I want to sleep in your bed! We’re both women, so why not just share?”

Yun Feiyue slapped at her. “Get out! Who wants to share with you, tomboy!”

Princess Ye Qi easily dodged, turned seductively, her long fingers gently tracing her face as she smiled at Yun Feiyue. “Jealous of my beauty, so you resort to personal attacks? I’m not afraid. Come here, let me hug you.”

Pervert!

Yun Feiyue retreated swiftly, Ye Qi chased fast. Naturally, Ye Qi’s speed far surpassed Yun Feiyue’s.

Very soon, Yun Feiyue was cornered.

“Come on! Sleep with your sister.”

Unable to bear the sickly sweet tone, Yun Feiyue shivered, feeling nauseous. “Ugh… Can’t you not be so disgusting, you pervert? I won’t sleep with you! You’re not even a handsome man.”

Princess Ye Qi slowly approached, grabbing Yun Feiyue, who was pressed against the wall. “If I were a handsome man, would you be interested?”

Yun Feiyue didn’t dare answer, as if Ye Qi could magically transform.

She looked him over carefully—no Adam’s apple, skin smooth and fair, eyes seductive, everything about her screamed “flirtatious woman.”

“I’m asking you!” Her index finger traced Yun Feiyue’s cheek, the corners of her eyes lifted in a smile.

Yun Feiyue’s facial muscles twitched involuntarily. “If you could become a handsome man, you’d still be just as flirtatious, wouldn’t you?”

Princess Ye Qi’s expression changed instantly. She slapped the wall next to Yun Feiyue, shattering the jade panel. Yun Feiyue watched the wall in distress. “Violent woman! Does your mother know how outrageous you are?”

“I only want to beat you now! Or, become a handsome man and take you!” Ye Qi reached to grab Yun Feiyue’s neck. Yun Feiyue dodged quickly, true fire surging within. Damn, she really thought Yun Feiyue was a pushover.

“Don’t blame me for being rude!” Yun Feiyue summoned fire in her right hand, flames wrapping around it like serpents, striking toward Ye Qi.

Little Mumu hopped over and tugged Yun Feiyue’s sleeve. “Mother, don’t be angry. This demon sister has no Adam’s apple, weak kidneys, runs hot—if she became a man, he’d still be impotent. So we just need to persuade her to give up on forcibly taking you.”

“……”

Both women turned to stare at the innocent Little Mumu.
