Chapter 236: The Fox Spirit (49)

She is not human.

Wen Yan: "???"

She has a big appetite.

[His cultivation level is very low.]

[Prone to getting into trouble.]

[Far away, yet so close at hand.]

Wen Wan's mouth dropped open. "Impossible! What nonsense are you talking about?"

The system saw that its host seemed to have guessed the answer, and its face turned bright red, looking even more drunk than it had been the night before.

[It seems the host guessed it?]

Wen Yan: "..."

With so many keywords, if she still couldn't guess, she would be a fool, but how could she?

[You don't like Gu Xuefeng? People say that all drunken behaviors are actually driven by desires rooted in one's heart, so what you did last night might have been what you truly wanted to do.]

Wen Wan: "Impossible, absolutely impossible."

I don't believe it.

Wen Yan: "???"

Why wouldn't she believe it? Her relationship with Gu Xuefeng was purely that of master and disciple, friends; she had absolutely no evil intentions whatsoever.

Furthermore, you have already tainted the male lead's innocence; you must take responsibility.

Wen Wan: "I didn't."

You kissed him; it was his first kiss, his first kiss in thousands of years. Do you know what that means? It means that if you don't take responsibility, he will suffer immense emotional trauma.

Wen Yan: "..."

Is it really that serious? It was just a small bite.

Just then, there was a knock on the door, and Gu Xuefeng's voice rang out, "A-Yuan, are you awake?"

Wen Yan: "..."

Silently shrinking under the covers, pretending not to be awake, the door was pushed open. "Since you're awake, drink the hangover soup first."

Wen Wan covered herself with the blanket, not moving at all. "Looks like she hasn't lost her memory. She still knows how to avoid me."

Wen Yan: "..."

I'm numb.

Unable to keep up the act any longer, she revealed her fawning face, "Master, I was wrong. Please forgive my foolishness and don't hold it against a drunkard like me."

Gu Xuefeng handed the hangover soup to Wen Wan, who drank it all in two gulps. "I'm sober now. I really reflect on myself and will never drink again."

"that's all?"

Wen Wan: "I shouldn't have spat on you, I was really wrong, and I shouldn't have been disrespectful. Lock me up in the disciplinary hall, I will have absolutely no complaints."

"Then go to the Disciplinary Hall for two days to wake up."

Gu Xuefeng is gone.

Wen Wan was surprised. She thought she wouldn't be able to easily understand this matter this time. She had thought of countless ways and was even prepared to take responsibility, but the person just left so easily.

For some reason, Wen Wan should have been relaxed, since she wasn't in charge. Spending two days in the disciplinary hall wasn't even a punishment, but she just felt uncomfortable. She felt awkward and even had a vague sense of dissatisfaction.

...

Wen Wan went to the disciplinary hall, and Elder Qin asked her why she was punished again.

Wen Wan dared not tell the truth and just made up a story. She stayed in the punishment hall for two days, and then stayed for a few more days before returning to Qianxue Palace.

Upon seeing Gu Xuefeng, Gu Xuefeng remained the same as before, cultivating daily and handling the matters concerning the Snow Sect sent by the Seventh Elder. The events of that day seemed to have never happened, becoming a taboo subject.

He didn't bring it up, nor did he do anything about it, and Wen Wan herself didn't mention it either.

But I just felt awkward, extremely awkward.

This would be worse than beating her up. What exactly does this "neither alive nor dead" state mean? Besides, Gu Xuefeng doesn't care about her anymore. When she went to find Si Xun, he used to say a few words to her, telling her not to disturb the disciple's cultivation, but now he doesn't even ask anymore.

She slept at Qingshui's place that night, and nothing happened the next day.

After some time, Wen Wan was heartbroken and an indescribable sense of grievance spread through her.

They've already kissed, how can they pretend nothing happened?

"No way." Wen Wan rolled around on the bed in frustration, finally sitting up. "If this continues, I'm going crazy."

System: [I told you you'd take responsibility! You scumbag.]

Wen Yan: "..."

System, if you can't speak, then don't speak. It's fine to be a mute system.

"I have no idea."

She had never been in love with anyone, but even so, this restless state of mind still made Wen Wan sense something was amiss. She had to confirm it, otherwise, if things continued like this, Gu Xuefeng would be fine, but she would go crazy.

So Wen Wan went to Gu Xuefeng's house.

Gu Xuefeng was talking to the Seventh Elder.

Seventh Elder: "The invitations for the Immortal Cultivation Conference have all been sent out. Will it be handled with the same standard as usual this time?"

Gu Xuefeng: "Mm."

The Immortal Cultivation Conference? Wen Wan knew about it; it was a grand event in the cultivation world held once every ten years, and the venue was the Snow Sect, after all, the Snow Sect was the number one sect in the cultivation world.

Afterwards, the Seventh Elder discussed some details and left after reaching a conclusion. Before leaving, he saw her hiding in the corner, glared at her, and told her to behave herself. Wen Wan shrugged.

Then he walked over to Gu Xuefeng and said, "Gu Xuefeng, I have something to tell you."

"We can talk about unimportant things later. I have other things to take care of." Gu Xuefeng didn't even look at her and continued to deal with the matters at hand. Wen Wan slammed the book shut. "It's very important. We have to talk about it right away, otherwise I won't be able to eat or sleep. I'll be so annoyed."

Gu Xuefeng looked at her. "What is it?"

Wen Wan: "I want to be sure of one thing, this is very important to me."

Before Gu Xuefeng could react, she pounced on him. Seeing Gu Xuefeng's shocked expression, she kissed him. This time, Wen Wan wasn't drunk, but she felt her heart pounding wildly and intensely, as if all the blood in her body was about to burst out.

At that moment, Wen Wan made a decision, but Gu Xuefeng pushed her away, asking, "What are you doing?"

"I like you."

Gu Xuefeng: "What???"

Wen Wan tried to run away after she finished speaking, but Gu Xuefeng grabbed her wrist immediately. Gu Xuefeng's expression was frightening. Wen Wan was a little scared. Her overheated mind slowly regained its rationality, and then she felt a sense of lingering fear.

She knew what she was thinking, but what about Gu Xuefeng?

Say it again.

Wen Wan dared not speak again, keeping her head down and remaining silent. She even considered her punishment, wondering if she would have to be stationed in the Discipline Hall permanently this time. However, deep down, there was still a sliver of hope, just a sliver, and she dared not have any more.

Tears streamed down her face uncontrollably. Gu Xuefeng, watching her, sighed and reached out to wipe away the tears from Wen Wan's face.

"Why are you crying? If you like it, then keep liking it."

Wen Yan: "???"

She looked up at Gu Xuefeng in surprise. Gu Xuefeng wasn't angry; she looked at her gently.

"What do you mean?"

Gu Xuefeng pulled her into his arms and said, "When you encounter a mistake, you should cut your losses, otherwise you'll only compound your mistakes."

"But I can't do it."

"Gu Xuefeng, you like me too, right? Otherwise, why are you so good to me? I really can't get used to you suddenly being so cold to me." Recalling the cold treatment she had received recently, Wen Wan's eyes welled up with tears of grievance, and she rubbed against Gu Xuefeng's clothes.

"yes."

Wen Wan instantly felt a surge of heat flow into her heart, and every cell in her body trembled. "You like me."

"Um."
