Alone, Beautifully – Chapter 157
by Little PandaA Story About Happiness (4)
Ears secretly turned red.
Xia Jingzhe understood the preciousness in Xu Jiao’s words.
Her ears secretly turned red.
She understood exactly what the word “gently” meant.
She felt emotion with Xu Jiao’s movements. The other person’s kisses and fingertips ignited small flames all over her body, and the heat gradually consumed her rationality. So much so that, at the moment she was about to fall into danger, Xia Jingzhe suddenly came to her senses—
Raising her hand, she grasped Xu Jiao’s fingertip. The person lying on the jade bed struggled to regain clarity in her eyes. She bit her lower lip hard, leaving a tooth mark on her full, red lips. Xu Jiao watched her and smiled, lowering her head to kiss it gently, rubbing her nose against the other’s. Then, in the soft tone of lovers, she asked:
“What’s wrong?”
“Why did you bite so hard? You’re going to bleed.”
Xu Jiao wanted Xia Jingzhe to release her grip, but Xia Jingzhe just stared at her, her dark eyes deep and unfathomable, as if already fallen into an abyss, looking up at the sky from that dark, lightless bottom.
She suddenly remembered—
That she had already fallen into the demonic path.
How would Xu Jiao see her now?
Would all the previous fondness and joy turn into scorn and disappointment when she found out the truth?
Xia Jingzhe had seen all kinds of darkness in her first half of life. Her birth and childhood were marked by ostracism from villagers because of her “demon” identity. Later, at the Kunlun Sect, things weren’t much better. She knew too well how those righteous people couldn’t tolerate even a speck of dirt.
So-called love and affection couldn’t overcome the fear of darkness and demons.
Thinking about this, the previous happiness and moving emotions caused by Xu Jiao’s reciprocal feelings instantly turned into a three-foot-thick winter ice, plunging her into an icy abyss. She turned her head, secretly clenching her fist at her side. When Xu Jiao was about to ask further, Xia Jingzhe did something she never imagined—
She pushed Xu Jiao away.
Not only that, she instantly moved her body, appearing at the doorway of the wooden house from under Xu Jiao. Before leaving, with her back to Xu Jiao, she said softly:
“Senior Sister, actually…”
“Actually, you being here was my idea. I had people bring you to the Demon Realm.”
As if afraid that if she spoke any slower, she would hear hurtful words from Xu Jiao, Xia Jingzhe gave Xu Jiao almost no chance to interrupt, her breath quick as she continued: “I’m very different from what Senior Sister imagined, and I’ve done some irreversible things. If Senior Sister knew, she would be very disappointed in me.”
“I’ll have someone send you back to Kunlun. Thank you, Senior Sister, for everything you did just now, whether it was real or fake…”
Her voice gradually trailed off.
Even though her tone was so soft that her emotions were hard to discern, Xu Jiao could still sense a deep sadness, as if Xia Jingzhe saw her earlier affection as self-deception. Xu Jiao couldn’t bear to see Xia Jingzhe like this, so she blurted out:
“I—”
Xia Jingzhe was brought back to reality by her voice and spilled out the rest of what she hesitated to say: “If we meet again… Senior Sister shouldn’t, and doesn’t need to, show me any mercy.”
After saying this, she vanished like a gust of wind, leaving behind only a faint trace of demonic energy.
Xu Jiao, left alone on the jade bed, her feelings ignited but now extinguished: “……?!”
She stared dumbfounded at the doorway of the wooden house.
“Hey!”
“Xia Jingzhe!”
“Come back here!”
Even though she couldn’t use her cultivation techniques right now, her voice was still strong and full of anger that could be heard for miles. But that anger hid a deep helplessness.
Xu Jiao reached out in vain, trying to grab something, but the only answer was the clinking sound of the iron chain on her wrist.
It was like a silent slap in the face and mockery.
Before, when she wasn’t interested in intimacy, if she was in this kind of position, in a dangerous place like a bed, she would inevitably have sex. But now she took the initiative, even with gentle actions and words, and what happened?
The person ran away!
What’s going on?
Does she, Xu Jiao, not care about her dignity?!
“Clink.”
A little witch squatted beside the jade bed. She used a key to unlock the icy-pure and immaculate Daoist nun in front of her, secretly glancing at the person on the bed with her eyes. This righteous person had been personally captured by the newly appointed Demon Lord but was unharmed and about to be sent back.
Seeing how delicate and seemingly abstinent the Kunlun disciple was, the little witch felt disdain for the righteous sect’s pretentiousness, but she had to admit that this person was indeed quite pretty.
If she were the Demon Lord, she’d also want to try her.
Anyway, those in the Demon Realm were never picky about what they did.
With the sound of the lock opening, she immediately jumped back a good distance. Although Xu Jiao’s cultivation hadn’t recovered, for the sake of her life, she didn’t want to become the target of Xu Jiao’s anger at all.
So she rolled her eyes, and in a low voice said: “The demonic energy is thick in the Demon Realm now, not suitable for the operation of righteous cultivation techniques and spiritual energy. The Demon Lord said to unseal you after leaving Wanmo Valley.”
Xu Jiao heard this, or perhaps she didn’t. She held her left wrist with her right hand, gently rotating it, then reversed it, rotating again. She was moving her joints.
A long time after the little witch’s voice faded, she lazily lifted her eyes and asked:
“Where is Xia Jingzhe?”
The little witch blinked, unsure what Xu Jiao meant by that question, but still answered honestly: “The Demon Lord’s whereabouts can’t be revealed to us lowly servants.”
Xu Jiao nodded indifferently.
She thought back to another place Xia Jingzhe had taken her to in the Demon Realm besides this little wooden hut—
“Then take me to your Demon Palace.”
That palace where the petrified body of the ancestral dragon of the Demon Realm and all the previous Demon Lords resided.
The little witch’s face froze: “That… I’m afraid that’s not possible.”
Xu Jiao then looked up and smiled at her, a spring-like warmth spreading through her eyes, transforming the whole room from winter to spring. The light in the wooden hut seemed to brighten because of this smile:
“Little girl.”
She said, “Either you take me there, or I’ll ask someone else.”
Her smile was especially beautiful, but the little witch couldn’t smile back—because a slender sword had appeared on her neck at some point. The blade was long and thin, but the sword energy was immense. Nobody knew when Xu Jiao had drawn it.
Her spiritual power hadn’t returned yet!
But Xu Jiao wasn’t going to explain that to the girl in front of her. After all, the reason she was locked up and unable to act was twofold: one, Xia Jingzhe never unchained her; two, she was mostly asleep from exhaustion. By the time she was able to move, Xia Jingzhe was already gone.
Thinking about that person who ran away and left her here to cool off, Xu Jiao couldn’t help but grind her back teeth.
If she were still her old self, she’d be really puzzled. Why was Xia Jingzhe so intense and desperate when she wasn’t interested, but now that she was interested, Xia Jingzhe backed off?
Love is just such a strange thing.
It can leave you hopeless, and then give you hope.
When Xia Jingzhe went all in, she blinded herself, not thinking, not feeling, just pulling Xu Jiao down with her. But when she realized Xu Jiao’s love was just as strong, she suddenly felt ashamed of herself.
Everything could have been so good, but what had she done?
Xu Jiao could guess Xia Jingzhe’s emotional rollercoaster just by using her knee.
But she wasn’t going to play it slow.
With some people, just talking doesn’t work. You need to…
…work on another kind of mouth.
(LP: Xu Jiao calm down, you’re too horny!)
The little witch, trembling, led Xu Jiao to the outside of the Demon Palace.
She closed her eyes in despair, resigned to being killed.
Unexpectedly, Xu Jiao used the flat of her sword to gently pat her shoulder: “Let’s go. I’ll explain this to your Demon Lord.”
Looking at the imposing palace before her—a bizarre structure of black and white, awe-inspiring and frightening—and glancing at the leafless trees around them, their grayish-white trunks like cold, glowing stones, she thought to herself:
This is no place for humans to live.
Seeing that Xu Jiao wasn’t going to attack, the little witch, seizing the chance to live another moment, quickly fled, disappearing into the nearby area.
Xu Jiao was left alone.
She had just taken a step forward when she heard a voice from inside:
“I’ve already decided to let Senior Sister go—”
“Senior Sister, why are you back?”
Xu Jiao sheathed her sword, took another step forward, and said to the unseen person: “Jingzhe, isn’t basic politeness in conversation to look at the other person face-to-face?”
The palace was silent for a moment.
But Xia Jingzhe didn’t appear. After a long silence, she said, “Senior Sister, if you want to kill me yourself, I’m afraid you won’t get your wish this time.”
Xu Jiao: “…”
She looked around, unable to see anyone openly present. However, she could only access a very limited amount of her spiritual energy, making it impossible for her to use her spiritual sense to investigate.
After a moment’s thought, she gave up, and simply walked forward. After putting away her sword, she calmly started rolling up her sleeves, saying to the inside of the palace:
“Who said I was going to kill you?”
“Xia Jingzhe, listen carefully…”
She calmly announced: “I. Am. Going. To. F*ck. You.”
The author has something to say:
Xia Jingzhe: ???
Xia Jingzhe: What? Is this really happening?!
I’ll cut off my head if I don’t update tomorrow. So, are you going to leave another comment to trick me again?
