Chapter 404: Demon Sect Holy Saint: Does Little Yuli Want to Die?
It had to be said—Luo Wusheng really felt that this room he was in was cursed with misfortune.
The last time, on the day when the Wandering Immortal Inn incident occurred, Little Yuli had had one of her "episodes" and used a Returning Sword Technique, piercing straight through the entire floor. Later, it was only fixed when the Immortal Nation's investigators came by.
And now, this time, a whole wall had been blown wide open.
Was Little Yuli the natural bane of this room?
Luo Wusheng looked at the little girl before him and complained inwardly, but then he seemed to hear something.
'Tch! How could you say that? I've only come here twice. Last time, I stayed so long and nothing happened—but the moment you arrived, everything went wrong… This time too, if not for you saying those kinds of things, then…'
Eh? When she put it that way, it almost made sense?
Could it be that this curse was some sort of "combination skill" between him and Little Yuli?
No—that wasn't right!
The Demon Sect's Holy Saint suddenly realized something was off.
He looked at the delicate face before him, still tinted with crimson shyness and anger, those beautiful eyes still glaring fiercely at him.
But within her gaze, there was now something strange as well, as though she too had realized something.
"…Mind reading?"
As if synchronized, the two of them spoke at the same time.
But before their conversation could go further, a series of knocks came from the door.
"Uh, Holy Saint, is that you in there? Just now, with all that noise—did something happen?"
It was the voice of Li Xing, one of the officers of the Demon Artifact Pavilion.
Normally he acted sly and shameless, but he was good at smooth talking, making him well-suited for greeting guests and running events. Since he himself wanted to observe more Foundation Establishment battles, Luo Wusheng had brought him along today.
Luo Wusheng exchanged a glance with Lu Yuliu.
After that crash, both of them had calmed down somewhat.
'Well, that said, I'm the only one who really slammed into the wall just now… Damn, come to think of it, with this Golden Body of mine, I might not just be fit for tanking—I might also make a great weapon?'
'What are you even talking about? I don't understand… N-no, that's not important. What matters is that no one can come in right now…'
'Exactly. If anyone saw us like this, it would be a disaster. If Little Li blabbed, who knows how far the rumors would spread… If Shuang—Aaaahhh! Little Yuli is so cute, Little Yuli is freaking adorable, Little Yuli is the number one cutest in the world…'
'??? Shuang? Me? Cute?'
Their mental exchange suddenly took a turn into someone's incoherent rambling.
Confusion and strangeness flickered in the little girl's eyes, as though she had momentarily forgotten their rather compromising situation. The chaotic tension eased a little.
Meanwhile, Luo Wusheng stopped paying attention to the Sword Fairy inner voice. After silently reciting the names of all the characters in Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf, he relied on his cultivator's powerful self-control to finally steer away from the dangerous thoughts that had nearly gotten out of hand.
Just then, the voice outside called again in puzzlement.
"Holy Saint?"
Luo Wusheng bit his tongue, forcing himself calm, and answered quickly:
"Nothing's wrong. I just thought the room wasn't ventilated enough, so I took down a wall. …Anyway, I'm busy now. Don't let anyone come into these two rooms for the time being. If there's something urgent, just report it to me."
Outside, Li Xing scratched his head.
He thought the room wasn't ventilated enough, so he tore down a wall?
As expected, the Holy Saint always acted in ways completely beyond common sense.
"Holy Saint is mighty! Please don't worry, I'll take care of such trivial matters for you!"
'Honestly, I really don't see what's so 'mighty' about this…'
Inside, Little Yuli was watching the face before her, muttering in her heart.
Feeling the soft sensation of her huge breasts pressing against him, Luo Wusheng's mouth twitched as he spoke directly.
"Little Yuli, I shouldn't remind you that I can still hear you right now, shouldn't I?"
From the way that Lu Yuliu's face flushed even redder, it's safe to assume that she has indeed forgotten about that.
Still, she forced a nonchalant expression, lifted her chin slightly, and rolled her eyes.
"So what if you can hear me? It's not like I said anything wrong."
After saying that, her expression shifted slightly again. "R-right now… can you still hear my thoughts?"
'The way she asked that… Looks like Little Yuli is also trying to control her thoughts. Which means only clear, structured words get picked up. Messy, jumbled emotions can't be read…'
So earlier, when he had distracted himself with tons of garbage thoughts, she must have only caught the very beginning.
'So, as long as I pay a little more attention, this "mind reading" won't actually be that terrifying.'
Luo Wusheng thought to himself—only to immediately realize that even this line of thought had been overheard by the girl across from him.
'Ah, so that's how it works. That's a relief, I thought…'
The Sword Fairy's train of thought came to an abrupt halt—then was quickly drowned out by a flood of mental "garbage."
After what had just happened, and finding herself in such a compromising position with this annoying bully, her chaotic thoughts were countless. If all of those were picked up by him, wouldn't that mean even things like that she didn't actually mind being in this position, or that there was even a part of her that… enjoyed pressing down the person she liked—would all be exposed to him?
In that case, she really would want to die.
Luo Wusheng's gaze grew a little strange.
Did Little Yuli… want to die?
It felt like the jumble of thoughts she hadn't put into words—buried beneath all that "garbage"—were extremely complicated.
And then he saw the face across from him, burning red with shame, trying her best to clear away the confusion, forcing herself to stay calm and collected.
The Sword Fairy knew that at this moment, she had no choice but to smile her way through adversity. If she didn't calm herself and suppress her thoughts, who knew what kind of incriminating notions might slip through as words in her heart?
Thump, thump. Thump, thump. Thump, thump.
Even without reading each other's minds, it was as if the two of them had thought the same thing at once. No words, only the sound of their pounding heartbeats.
But very quickly, they realized they had made the wrong choice.
Humans—at their quietest—were the most prone to wandering thoughts.
And right now, their situation was clearly far from proper.
'Little Yuli really does smell nice… Come to think of it, with her face this close—if it weren't for the sword hilt between us…'
'He's just lying there under me like this—doesn't he think I'm heavy? And my chest is…'
Their locked gazes froze in place.
A beat later, they both frantically flooded their minds with nonsense to cover up, before instinctively trying to wriggle free from the entanglement—terrified that any more dangerous thoughts might slip out. They rolled across the floor several times in the struggle…
But even so, they couldn't separate from each other. In the end, they could only turn their faces aside, trying to steady their racing hearts and chaotic breathing.
At least they had the presence of mind to be careful—not letting the parts of them that were already stuck together get any more entangled.
Yet barely moments after turning her head away, Little Yuli's gaze slid right back.
The blush on her face hadn't faded at all. In fact, it was deepening, her eyes filled with a strange light as she stared at the boy in front of her.
Meanwhile, the Demon Sect's Holy Saint was turning his head harder and harder to the side, as though he wouldn't stop until he snapped his own neck.
He coughed a few times, his voice trembling slightly as he forced words out.
"Cough, cough… S-so, um… how about we first think of a way to get out of this situation?"
