Chapter 6 The Allure of Magical Artifacts with Nowhere to Be Placed
Ling Yuanyuan knew she was incredibly charming, so she gave up trying to persuade them.
Seeing that the woman's fairy robes were about to be torn off, Immortal Lord Dugu Hanbing was the first to react. He released his grip and took two steps back. Immortal Lord Xuanyue was equally quick, draping his own outer robe over Ling Yuanyuan's shoulders.
To cover up those bare shoulders that were already exposed to the air.
Ling Yuanyuan herself doesn't care.
She used to wear tank tops for walks all the time, this is nothing compared to what she's doing now.
Although the male protagonist reacted quickly, he still inadvertently caught a glimpse of that fair skin.
Under the moonlight, it was pure and flawless.
Jing Xuan Yue's expression changed slightly, and she covered her lips with her well-defined fingers.
My heart skipped a beat.
Even Jing Xuan Yue herself didn't notice that the tips of her ears were flushed red.
Immortal Lord Xuan Yue lowered his eyes, composed himself, and spoke.
"I will take responsibility once I have seen it."
Upon hearing Xuan Yue Xianjun's words, Dugu Hanbing Xianjun frowned.
He retorted, "You shouldn't say such things. A young lady's reputation is most important; if word gets out—"
Ling Yuanyuan: "..."
Are you guys living in the prehistoric era? You're so conservative.
It was just a glimpse of her right shoulder.
Her aunt wears even less when she goes clubbing.
Immortal Lord Xuan Yue stood in front of Ling Yuanyuan, blocking her view.
He spoke in a cold voice.
"Brother Dugu, you saw it just now, didn't you? Are you going to take responsibility for my people?"
The man's cold, sharp voice rang out in the air, and Immortal Lord Dugu Hanbing was taken aback.
He immediately burst into laughter.
"That's fine, but we should still follow the young lady's opinion."
"You're wronged! Who do you think should be held responsible?"
Hearing Dugu Hanbing address Ling Yuanyuan, Jing Xuan Yue frowned almost imperceptibly. Were they really that close? Without making a sound, she pulled Ling Yuanyuan behind her. Jing Xuan Yue's gaze darkened as she stood between the two.
Ling Yuanyuan clicked her tongue twice.
They were being sized up.
Jing Xuan Yue is a male protagonist in a fantasy novel.
His character is terrible.
What?
Dugu Hanbing is a male supporting character in a fantasy novel.
There's no way to protect her.
In the face of the absolute protagonist's halo, the male supporting character usually suffers a lot.
These days, Ling Yuanyuan has come to regard Dugu Hanbing as a friend.
To avoid Jing Xuan Yue attacking him, Ling Yuan Yuan changed the subject.
"It's up to you two, Aunt Hua Jing is still waiting for me. Could you please move aside? She'll yell at me if I'm late."
Ignore their burning gaze.
The woman lifted her foot to leave.
Before they could even push open the door to Xueyiting's house, thunder roared in their ears.
Ling Yuanyuan was so shocked that her eyes widened.
A strong wind and a downpour seemed imminent.
The next second, Immortal Lord Dugu Hanbing's flowing black hair was chopped off.
Immortal Lord Dugu Hanbing's expression turned even worse. Immediately afterward, water spheres formed from ice slammed into Immortal Lord Xuanyue's face.
Jing Xuanyue and Dugu Hanbing started fighting in front of everyone.
During this time, no matter how much Ling Yuanyuan shouted for them to stop, they did not stop.
Immortal Lord Xuan Yue was already filled with rage because Ling Yuanyuan and Immortal Lord Dugu Hanbing had appeared together.
Moreover, everyone in the immortal realm knows that Ling Yuanyuan is his woman.
Ling Yuanyuan glanced at them, stomped her foot, gritted her teeth, and ran to Xuan Yue Xianjun's side.
Dugu Hanbing, who was just about to stab Jing Xuanyue to death with an ice pick, froze.
She staggered, a fleeting sadness flashing in her eyes.
He thought that he had established a very deep friendship with Ling Yuanyuan by taking her on a tour of the Heavenly Realm these past few days.
But Ling Yuanyuan, like Fairy Yuan'er, still chose Immortal Lord Xuanyue.
Ling Yuanyuan had just stood up steadily.
Seeing that Immortal Lord Dugu Hanbing lowered his head, his face looked like a pitiful dog that had been abandoned.
Jing Xuan Yue curled her lips smugly and pulled Ling Yuan Yuan back.
There were probably still ice shards on his palms from a fight.
He looked at Immortal Lord Dugu Hanbing, about to assert his dominance. Suddenly, he saw the woman drape the outer robe that was covering her shoulders over her head.
Jing Xuan Yue: "?"
Ling Yuanyuan shook a handful of wet melon seeds out of her sleeve.
"I came here to tell you, Immortal Lord, that you should pause for a while."
Ling Yuanyuan popped a melon seed into her mouth.
He continued, "The rain is too heavy and blurs my vision, which is affecting my view of the action scenes. You all wait while I go to sit in the pavilion over there, and then I'll start making it rain again."
Immortal Lord Xuanyue: "..."
*
This disturbance eventually reached the Queen.
The Queen already disliked Ling Yuanyuan, and when she learned that the two brothers had fought over a woman...
His face looked even worse, as if he had swallowed feces.
The arrogant and domineering Immortal Lord Dugu Hanbing just moments ago now seemed to have been poisoned and rendered mute.
He didn't speak again.
The Empress rebuked Immortal Lord Dugu Hanbing for a full hour.
Immortal Lord Xuan Yue was like a nobody.
Standing in the main hall.
He stood tall and straight, meeting Ling Yuanyuan's furtive glances.
She's a stepmother after all.
The Empress reprimanded Immortal Lord Dugu Hanbing, but didn't say a single bad word about Immortal Lord Xuanyue. Ling Yuanyuan rolled her eyes and patted her legs, which were almost numb from standing.
"In the end, this whole thing is because of her."
Finally, the Queen concluded.
Ling Yuanyuan: "??"
The diva stood up and her gaze fell on Ling Yuanyuan.
"If in the future the gods of the heavens disregard my heavenly rules because of a woman, wouldn't that cause chaos? Therefore, I will only punish Miss Ling."
The Empress said.
Listen to this, is he even speaking human language?
Ling Yuanyuan looked up and retorted, "Empress, you can't blame innocent people just because of my irresistible charm."
The diva sneered.
If it weren't for her son's sake, she would have already sent Ling Yuanyuan to heaven with a cup of poison.
Hearing that the Queen was going to punish Ling Yuanyuan.
Immortal Lord Xuan Yue also looked up instantly.
He stepped forward and pleaded for Ling's innocence.
The Heavenly Queen said, "My son, do not plead for her. Miss Ling has probably forgotten all the Heavenly Rules she has recently learned. This is to help her adapt to the Heavenly Realm better. If everyone followed her example, having ambiguous relationships with other men in the dead of night—"
Ling Yuanyuan: "..."
Adapt to your sister.
The swear words I've been holding back for eight hundred years are about to burst out.
Upon hearing the last half of the Empress's words, Jing Xuan Yue's expression changed.
No longer plead for Ling Yuanyuan.
Perhaps, he thought so subconsciously as well.
"The Celestial Pig Farm is in dire need of a caretaker, so you may go there for a month or so."
The diva spoke.
Ling Yuanyuan originally intended to refuse.
A glint flashed in his eyes.
Let her raise pigs?
Pigs are valuable from head to toe.
There's no need to report to Aunt Hua Jing yet.
Ling Yuanyuan smiled and agreed, her attitude changing drastically.
Jing Xuan Yue frowned, wondering why the woman in front of her didn't refuse.
The three of them left the main hall together.
It seems that Immortal Lord Dugu Hanbing suffered a setback with the Empress and stopped paying attention to Ling Yuanyuan.
They moved away as fast as they could, as if their feet were on fire.
Ling Yuanyuan sighed as she looked at his back.
He's definitely not cut out to be the male lead.
For a moment, only Immortal Lord Xuan Yue and she remained.
"It was truly inappropriate for Mother to punish you by sending you to the Spirit Pig Courtyard. If you don't want to go, you can beg me. I will then speak with Mother privately..."
Xuan Yue Immortal Lord looked at Ling Yuanyuan and asked.
We're still waiting for her to back down.
Hearing Xuan Yue Xianjun's words, Ling Yuanyuan almost burst out laughing. It took her a long time to suppress the urge to slap the man's face with a slipper.
Beg him.
What a big face.
Ling Yuanyuan stepped back, putting to use the etiquette she had learned from Aunt Hua Jing a few days ago.
"Thank you for your care, Immortal Lord. I am willing to accept the punishment."
Ling Yuanyuan answered.
Jing Xuan Yue could naturally hear the coldness in Ling Yuan Yuan's tone.
He was stunned for a moment.
When did Ling Yuanyuan start speaking to him in this manner?
“I have been injured for some time, why haven’t you come to see me?” Immortal Lord Xuan Yue held Ling Yuanyuan’s hand.
Ling Yuanyuan shook off his hand: "Immortal Lord is joking. I'm not a magic pill, do you think seeing you will cure me?"
Ling Yuanyuan retorted with every word, leaving Jing Xuanyue speechless.
The woman's words were barbed.
She probably still resents him for not being able to accompany her on his many military campaigns.
A hint of sorrow flashed in Xuan Yue Xianjun's eyes. Ever since he brought Ling Yuanyuan back to the Heavenly Realm, he had longed to be with her naturally. But every time he met Ling Yuanyuan's clear eyes, he would think of another woman.
Another woman who has haunted his heart for a thousand years, a woman he has never put down once he picked her up.
“My dear child, why haven’t you written to me these past few days?”
Jing Xuan Yue spoke gently.
He gazed longingly at Ling Yuanyuan's face.
Those who don't know might think he's shouting "Ling Yuanyuan!" Ironically, his beloved Xia Yuan'er, the fairy, is also named Yuan'er.
Homophones.
Ling Yuanyuan smiled slightly and instantly moved eight hundred meters away from him: "It's getting late, Immortal Lord, you should go back and rest."
[A reminder to the host: Avoid deviating too obviously from your character's established persona.]
Ling Yuanyuan: "?"
[Your indifference towards the male lead exceeds 50, which will negatively impact your luck.]
[Current Luck Value: 0.]
Ling Yuanyuan took a deep breath and took two steps forward.
She feigned tenderness and pressed her head against the man's chest.
She said in a high-pitched voice, "I also want to write, but the Xuan Yue side hall is too remote. The few brushes and ink I have will soon be insufficient, and the Immortal Lord doesn't provide any more."
Jing Xuan Yue was initially worried that Ling Yuan Yuan had changed.
Hearing her sweet voice, his mood improved. He put his arm around Ling Yuanyuan and waved his hand.
The pen that was swirling in mid-air fell into Ling Yuanyuan's hands.
[Congratulations, host, you have received 1 drawing paper-to-life pen]
The system's voice rang out, and Ling Yuanyuan's eyes widened.
"This is a magic brush that my mother gave me for my birthday two years ago. It will never run out of ink. And whatever you draw will come true. Take it." The man's voice became exceptionally pleasant, and Ling Yuanyuan covered her mouth with a smile as she accepted it.
If she draws a villa, wouldn't that be...?
