Chapter 405: Seems Like I Came at the Wrong Time
Luo Wusheng quickly realized that undoing their current predicament wasn't actually that difficult.
He had already noticed earlier: after the strange situation had been triggered, the jade stone that had suddenly released some mysterious power had fallen to the floor of the room, now coated in a layer of gray-white.
Having handled countless rare stones and treasures before, the Demon Sect Holy Saint was able to judge the situation at a glance.
The power within that jade was unique, and at this moment, it was already acting on him and the Sword Fairy… He didn't know exactly what that power was, but logically speaking, as long as they touched the jade that had released it, they should be able to feed the energy back little by little.
"As long as we reseal the power into the jade, this situation should be resolved," Luo Wusheng said with certainty.
But his gaze flickered evasively, not quite daring to look straight at the beautiful girl on top of him.
"…Mm."
With her face still flushed, Lu Yuliu suppressed her thoughts while nodding with serious focus.
Seriousness was necessary—otherwise, she wouldn't be able to use this new topic as a way to divert her attention… and if she failed to distract herself, she'd only remember the hard, foreign "object" she had just felt pressing against her.
Thankfully, when she had first noticed that particular thing, her thoughts had spiraled into such chaos that even the mind-reading only came across as garbled nonsense.
Meanwhile, Luo Wusheng's awkward attempt at changing the subject felt a little stiff.
But really—he couldn't be blamed!
Being pressed this close against a soft, fragrant, beautiful girl, rolling around together on the ground, stimulation piling on again and again—any normal man would have a reaction, wouldn't they?
Fortunately, Little Yuli herself clearly had secrets she absolutely did not want him to know. Even though she wasn't in one of her "episodes," she relied on immense willpower to endure the current situation, and went along with his attempt to steer the conversation elsewhere.
Changing the subject really was the correct way to avoid dangerous mind-reading.
'Next step, we just need to return to the other room and pick up that jade from the floor…'
"How do we get back? We didn't smash through the whole wall just now—we flew into it. The opening's up above… are we supposed to crash back through again?"
Hearing his thoughts, the Sword Fairy looked at the broken wall, still surrounded by dust and splintered wood, and asked with natural confusion.
"Why crash through again? What, you really think my rooms aren't 'open' enough?"
Luo Wusheng rolled his eyes. "We can just teleport."
Right, he thought—he really would need to buy Little Yuli some walnuts later to help with her brain, instead of her only knowing how to 'broaden her heart.'
Only then did Lu Yuliu recall that, although this Demon Sect Holy Saint rarely used his teleportation ability, he did have it as one of his skills… even though he wasn't a Nascent Soul cultivator.
She immediately glared at him fiercely.
Even if she didn't understand the exact words in his heart, she could easily pick up the general idea—that he was saying she wasn't very smart.
'So what if you can teleport? You think having teleportation means you can do whatever you want?'
'Sorry, but yes. Being able to teleport does mean I can do whatever I want.'
The thing about heart-voices was that they were brutally direct. If you wanted to avoid saying the wrong thing, you had to cut yourself off instantly… but clearly, neither of them had any intention of stopping here.
"Anyway, Little Yuli—what exactly did you come here for this time? Was there something you couldn't just say through a short sword message?"
Since their last topic had reached a natural end, Luo Wusheng figured it was best to switch again, to keep himself from spiraling back into dangerous, wandering thoughts.
It just so happened that this was indeed the question Luo Wusheng wanted to ask.
'And this jade's sudden change of power… no matter how I think about it, this has to be the fault of the protagonist's halo…'
?
This time, the Sword Fairy didn't quite understand what the Demon Sect's Holy Saint was thinking.
She felt a little cheated—why did his inner voice always contain so many words she didn't recognize?
Still, she did catch his intention: he was trying to change the subject.
'Of course I couldn't just use the short sword. After all, before I came, I hadn't really sorted out my own thoughts… it was all because of Master—ahhhhhh! I'm so cute, I really am so cute, I'm the cutest girl in the whole world—'
Too many things had happened, and the little girl who had half-forgotten her original purpose in coming thought he had thrown out another random discussion topic. For a moment she dropped her guard, and her thoughts slipped out as clear inner voice.
Thankfully, she realized in time, and buried it under a flood of garbage information.
But she too heard the thoughts on the other side.
'Because of "Master"? Eh—that would be my wi– wif—no, the creator of the Returning Sword Technique! Right, Returning Sword Technique! That's really a great technique. Not only powerful, but it looks so damn cool too…'
Completely unprepared to have his wife mentioned at such a time, Luo Wusheng also failed to slam on the brakes in time.
Fortunately, it was something he could still cover up.
He knew he couldn't use the garbage-thought tactic here. If he did, even Little Yuli would notice something fishy.
The two of them, each flustered for different reasons, met each other's gaze. Yet with tacit understanding, they both forcibly suppressed their thoughts, doing their utmost to prevent anything else from forming clear words that could be overheard.
"…Let's just not talk about it for now. We should focus on fixing this situation."
"That's fine."
Luo Wusheng agreed, spiritual energy he had been holding ready wrapping around their closely pressed bodies, stirring the changes in the essence of heaven and earth.
Because of the jade's strange influence, his spiritual energy had been difficult to control, and it had taken him a long time just to gather enough to teleport.
The next moment, space shifted.
. . . . . . .
Luo Wusheng's guess was correct.
The instant the jade fell into their hands, the sticky bond between their bodies weakened slightly.
He could feel some kind of force flowing out from where his and Little Yuli's bodies touched, seeping into the jade and washing away the gray-white layer upon it.
Now, the two of them had collapsed together onto the room's bed. Their palms pressed against one another, holding the jade between them, as they felt the strange abnormality gradually fade.
That said, both of their clothes were in a bit of a mess.
It's the result of all their earlier struggles, their clothes were wrinkled, shifted, disheveled. Fortunately, though at first some skin had accidentally been exposed, all the rolling and rubbing had somehow covered everything back up.
Even so—if anyone were to see this scene now, with a man and woman lying so close together in rumpled clothes—they would certainly think something had just happened.
Thankfully, no one would see this. Only the two of them were in the room, and in just a little while they would be able to separate fully. Then, of course, they could fix their clothes. …That was what both Luo Wusheng and Lu Yuliu were thinking as they glanced at each other.
Until a voice sounded in their ears.
"Demon Sect Holy Saint, We have come—eh? It seems We came at the wrong time?"
The two on the bed instantly froze.
The Sword Fairy was panicked simply because of the sudden voice—but Luo Wusheng was even more frantic.
He recognized it. That was the voice of that blasted Immortal Spirit!
And just at that moment, a knock came at the door.
"Holy Saint, the Holy Maiden has arrived!"
