Chapter 78 Forgive Me
As a system, and something outside of this world, 111 certainly cannot be exposed.
Otherwise, Long Aotian would find out about her transmigration into the book and all the missions, so Su Yunyu remained stubborn:
"I've already made it very clear that he's a childhood friend of mine. How can you refute everything I've said based solely on what you've investigated?"
"Master," Xiao Shuying's eyes pierced through, her tone calm and unhurried, pressing forward step by step:
"I set up a barrier here, and only those with cultivation levels above mine can enter. But this person can't even withstand my pressure, so how did he get in?"
Now that things have come to this, a confrontation is impossible, so Su Yunyu resorted to sophistry and unreasonable arguments:
"This means there's a problem with your barrier."
At this moment, 111, who was unable to move due to the oppressive aura, chuckled carelessly upon hearing this explanation, causing an eerie silence to fall for a second. Xiao Shuying glanced over, a slow smile playing on her lips:
"Since Master refuses to tell the truth, I have no choice but to resort to coercion and bribery."
Su Yunyu wasn't afraid at all. What was the point of threats or inducements? If you're so capable, just kill 111 directly. Anyway, 111 won't die. Even if she killed herself, it wouldn't matter. So she might as well get what she wanted.
Determined to infuriate Long Aotian to death, Su Yunyu became even more brazen:
"To be honest, he and I have already expressed our feelings for each other, and we have done everything we should and shouldn't have done."
They even ignored 111's crazy question marks and boldly provoked them:
"I'm not afraid of you no matter what you do, whether you threaten or bribe me."
"Master, it would be best if you didn't be so stubborn."
Instead of the expected outburst of anger, Xiao Shuying smiled faintly.
He was already tall and slender, and now, standing against the light at the edge of the bed, his shadow enveloped Su Yunyu completely.
His expression darkened further, causing Su Yunyu's heart to sink slightly as she anxiously wondered what he was planning to do.
The next second, Xiao Shuying leaned over and raised her hand to tear open Su Yunyu's collar. The force was so strong that Su Yunyu immediately retreated, shrinking back while tightly covering her collar, her face filled with terror.
But with each step he retreated, Xiao Shuying would bend her knees and press herself onto the bed, pressing closer step by step with her knees. The originally smooth embroidered gold bed surface rippled, leaving the already cramped space almost empty.
When Su Yunyu had nowhere left to retreat and her back slammed against the hard wall, looking at the man who exuded a ferocious aura like a beast, she felt her scalp tingle and asked with difficulty:
"Didn't you intend to use coercion and bribery?"
Xiao Shuying paused her movements, her gaze fixed intently on him, her lips conveying an ambiguous meaning:
"Since Master is talking nonsense, I have no choice but to accept it."
He cupped Su Yunyu's beautiful face in his hands, a hint of coldness in his smile:
"I'll show that slut how my master and I consummate our relationship right in front of her."
Although he was smiling, his eyes, devoid of any light, clearly suppressed a raging storm. Though he cherished the precious items in his hands, there was still a lingering, suppressed tremor.
Like a ferocious beast about to break free of its cage at any moment.
[Holy crap!] 111 in a fit of impotent rage:
[Who are you calling a bastard, host? Kill him already!]
Listening to the incessant complaints of 111 in his mind, Su Yunyu swallowed hard, thinking that the issue now was not whether he wanted to kill Long Aotian, but whether he wanted to preserve his integrity.
After all, Long Aotian's gaze was still too terrifying, mixed with a strong possessiveness and unfathomable obsession. Su Yunyu was quite confident that he was someone who dared to say and do.
So Su Yunyu stopped being stubborn, afraid of angering Long Aotian and causing her to suffer terribly, and simply softened her tone and became more peaceful:
"You're so eager to know who he is?"
This is a delaying tactic; let him buy some time while we think about what to do.
Xiao Shuying stared at his suddenly softened expression, catching the lingering fear in his eyes that he couldn't hide, and couldn't help but feel pleased. Even though she saw through Su Yunyu's stalling tactics, she still cooperated:
"That's for sure. To be able to enter and exit places as if they were empty is a supernatural ability that I've never heard of before."
Nonsense, a system that transcends the entire world is truly unheard of.
Su Yunyu gritted her teeth. Her original plan was to anger Long Aotian to death so that he would kill her. However, although she did manage to anger him, Long Aotian's anger turned into rage.
It's bizarre, so very bizarre.
Fearing that Xiao Shuying would take away her chastity, Su Yunyu could only make up a reason to appease her:
"Actually, I was just talking nonsense, I just wanted to annoy you. He is my... sword spirit."
Although the world's setting is that 99.99% of swords cannot take human form, Su Yunyu thought that as long as she made it up in a serious manner, it would still be believable.
"Blade & Soul"
Fearing that Long Aotian wouldn't believe her, Su Yunyu quickly summoned the Xuehua Sword from her spatial storage and used her spiritual energy to make it fly to 111. At the same time, she tried to communicate her thoughts to the Xuehua Sword and ask it to cooperate with her.
After the Snow Blossom Sword flew past, Xiao Shuying watched coldly, not stopping Su Yunyu's blatant fabrication. She simply withdrew her pressure on 111 and coldly ordered:
"Since it's a sword spirit, then let's use the Frost Moon Shining Together move."
111 stood frozen, feeling as if his brain had shut down. Now that the oppressive force was gone, all he wanted to do was escape into Su Yunyu's sea of consciousness, but...
It glanced at Su Yunyu, its eyes filled with resentment. As a system, how would it know any sword techniques? It couldn't even come up with a plausible excuse. Wasn't it deliberately making things difficult for the system?
Su Yunyu let it fool her in her sea of consciousness, it could just dance around a bit, but 111 couldn't stand the humiliation, especially being stared at by Xiao Shuying's sharp gaze, it didn't even want to pretend anymore, and the next second it directly entered Su Yunyu's sea of consciousness.
"..."
"..."
And so all that could be seen was that the living person had simply vanished, leaving only Xuehua Sword floating in the air, utterly bewildered.
Xiao Shuying chuckled coldly twice, then turned to look at Su Yunyu with a mocking expression:
"Sword Spirit, hmm."
At this moment, Su Yunyu couldn't care less about condemning 111 for being irresponsible. Hearing this, she could only continue making things up without batting an eye:
"It has now returned to the Snow Flower Sword."
"Enough!" Xiao Shuying couldn't contain her anger. Although she had anticipated that the man was closely related to Su Yunyu, she still wondered who he really was.
What did that person say to Su Yunyu without her knowledge, and what did they do that allowed them to help Su Yunyu today? And what about before?
Recalling what the remnant soul of that powerful being had said, and the seemingly other voice within Su Yunyu's sea of consciousness, Xiao Shuying found Su Yunyu increasingly unfathomable. What secrets did he possess that he couldn't reveal?
"Master," Xiao Shuying sneered, his eyes filled with a deep, dark gloom. He stared intently at Su Yunyu, not missing a single emotion in his eyes, his tone somber:
"Tell me, who exactly is this person, and what is your relationship with them?"
Seeing that Xiao Shuying was not fooled at all, and seemed even angrier, Su Yunyu's brain went blank at this moment, and she couldn't find a better reason to make up.
Seeing that Su Yunyu remained silent, seemingly trying to bluff his way out, Xiao Shuying's desire grew stronger. She pulled him tightly into her arms, lowered her head and nibbled wildly at his neck, her voice indistinct:
"If you don't tell, Master won't have a good time tonight."
Su Yunyu was terrified. He tried to push her away but couldn't. He could only feel a series of bites on his neck. He gasped for breath and racked his brains, finally coming up with a solution.
So Su Yunyu coldly rebuked:
"Stop, I'll tell you the truth."
Xiao Shuying then seemed to have been calmed down and slowly stopped, her dark eyes looking up at Su Yunyu, her tone slightly mocking:
"If Master is trying to deceive me again, he should give up the idea."
Seeing that a crisis of trust had arisen, Su Yunyu decided to first offer an attractive temptation:
"Don't you want to know why I killed you, and why I've been reborn into this life?"
This was the biggest conflict between the two. As expected, Xiao Shuying frowned slightly, temporarily easing her grip on Su Yunyu. Her expression hardened, and she asked:
"You've finally decided to talk."
"Of course, but I have one condition before I tell you everything."
Seeing the slight probing look in Xiao Shuying's eyes, Su Yunyu calmly said:
"You go out first, I'll tell you when I'm ready."
"Is Master planning to do something again?"
Su Yunyu appeared very resolute:
"Give me this chance, or I'll never tell you my secret again."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Shuying lowered her gaze, seemingly considering her options. Seeing this, Su Yunyu decided to intensify her efforts, taking the initiative to kiss Xiao Shuying's cheek and coaxing her softly:
"Don't worry, I won't do anything."
"..."
When Su Yunyu took the initiative to kiss him, Xiao Shuying's pupils dilated, and his heart skipped a beat. Looking up, he saw Su Yunyu's parting, water-red lips, and his heart pounded wildly. He didn't even hear what she said; he simply kissed her.
Su Yunyu was startled, her eyelids twitched with anger, and she immediately pursed her lips tightly, not daring to let Xiao Shuying invade her in the slightest.
Xiao Shuying gently bit his lower lip with her sharp teeth. When he felt the pain, he subconsciously opened his lips, and the next second his tongue probed in, filling his lips completely.
"Hmm..."
Su Yunyu was about to bite down hard, but when he thought of how he needed her help, he held back. He could only endure the kisses until his cheeks turned slightly red. Only when his tongue felt sore, his cheeks were weak, and his brows furrowed did Xiao Shuying let him go.
It was impossible to tell whose heartbeat it was, mixed with weak breaths. Su Yunyu raised her thin, red eyelids, her watery eyes staring at Xiao Shuying, utterly unthreatening, only breathtakingly beautiful, her voice slightly short:
Are you satisfied now?
This sight warmed Xiao Shuying's heart, and she couldn't resist kissing him deeply before smiling, her voice husky:
"Alright, I trust Master this time."
After finally persuading Xiao Shuying to give her a chance to be alone, Su Yunyu first caught her breath, which had made her breathless from being kissed, and then summoned the Xuehua Sword from her spatial storage again.
Xuehua Sword was unaware of what was about to happen; it merely trembled, seemingly expressing its obedience to its master.
As Su Yunyu thought about what she was about to do, the blush faded from her face, her lips lowered, and she stroked the Xuehua Sword, saying apologetically:
"Forgive me..."
