All The Female Disciples Want To Kill Me-Chapter 90 - 89: Are You Comfortable? _1
Su Bei stepped back and extended his hand to ward off Yu Hongxiu, who still tried to lean on him.
But perhaps because the movement was too hurried, or maybe due to Su Bei’s instincts running amok, he felt that for a moment his entire palm was... enveloped.
Yu Hongxiu stopped in her tracks, blinked her eyes, and lowered her head to look at Su Bei’s hand.
The corners of her eyes curved, her lips followed, curving up into a chuckle. Then she took another step forward, leaned toward Su Bei’s ear, and lightly touched his earlobe with her little tongue, her eyes conveying a seductive charm as she asked, "Does that feel good?"
"..."
Gazing at the woman before him, who could bewitch almost all living beings, feeling the tickle in his ear and the tingling that spread from his feet to his head in an instant, Su Bei’s scalp tingled, and fear sent a cold sweat through him.
Truly worthy of being the enchantress of Star Moon Sect; every frown and smile is filled with the utmost allure. If it weren’t for that bug, the "Sage’s Time," I possess, I’d probably have been devoured whole by now...
Su Bei cleared his throat, straining to control his turbulent mind, and barely opened his mouth to say, "Not bad."
Then Su Bei glanced at Yu Hongxiu. He noticed her eyes still gazed unwaveringly at him. Gentle waves flickered within them, yet they bewitched all living beings. A rich fragrance filled his nostrils, and a trace of suspicion flashed in Su Bei’s eyes.
He was unsure if it was an illusion, but Su Bei felt there was some change in the way Yu Hongxiu looked at him. What exactly had changed, he couldn’t quite say.
As Su Bei puzzled over this, Yu Hongxiu laughed merrily, her voice crisp and pleasant, her eyes curving into an arc, hiding a deep meaning that even carried a sense of danger.
"So, when does little brother plan to let go?"
Pretending as though nothing had happened, Su Bei nonchalantly took his hand away and placed it behind his back as he casually began, "Hmm, sister, you’re... quite well-maintained..."
Yu Hongxiu: "?? "
...
「Inside the Red Pavilion’s council hall.」
Soft sunlight spilled through the pavilion’s windows.
Yu Hongxiu sat on a chair, lazily leaning against the window, tilting her head to watch the snowflakes outside. A beam of light reflected off her enchanting side profile, her mind wandering, lost in thought.
A small stove on the table gently heated a teapot, with porcelain teacups, saucers, small tea bowls, and a tray arranged nearby. The subtle fragrance of the tea wafted from the teapot, filling the entire council hall.
Su Bei sat next to the table, while a white-clothed maid gently lifted the teapot and poured the steaming tea into the cups.
Inhaling the tea’s fragrance, carried by the steam, Su Bei felt a wave of refreshment wash over him, clearing his mind a great deal.
He moved the brush in his hand quickly, doodling and scribbling on the Xuan paper.
The white-clothed maid watched Su Bei’s flamboyant brushstrokes with curiosity, covering her mouth to stifle a giggle as she said, "Elder Su must be from South Wind Ancient Country; your calligraphy is so excellent!
"Worthy of someone who could stand up to those South Wind scholars!"
"..."
Su Bei raised his head, his gaze briefly sweeping over the maid’s generous bosom. He arched an eyebrow and said with a hint of mischief, "So, you’re quite knowledgeable, huh?"
The white-clothed maid blinked, tilted her head, and replied, "There’s nothing I don’t understand about that.
"Everyone in the Twenty-One Provinces knows Dongfeng Ancient Country venerates the spirit of Daoism, while South Wind Ancient Country reveres the elegance of the Confucian School.
"Especially their State Preceptor, the Confucian Sage Li Zi, and Li Qiu, with their three thousand Confucian School disciples, each capable of composing poetry and prose..."
"..."
Li Qiu? Su Bei narrowed his eyes slightly. This name seemed somewhat familiar. Another sage of Confucianism... Instantly, the image of a hunched old man with a kindly face surfaced in Su Bei’s mind. Probably that kind of image, a short, frail-looking schoolteacher.
"Li Zi single-handedly promoted Confucian culture throughout the entire South Wind Ancient Country, but over there, well, I just really don’t like the Star Moon Sect..."
"..."
No sooner had the words of the white-garbed maiden fallen than Yu Hongxiu, who had been quietly gazing at the drifting snowflakes outside the window, turned her head. Her ruby lips curled up in a smirk, a trace of mockery on her face as she scoffed, "Confucian School?
"Nothing but a bunch of hypocritical gentlemen who harbor biased views towards women!
"They irrationally push for male dominance, only demanding what a woman should do.
"It’s precisely because I despise their double standards that I allowed the Star Moon Sect to take root in the Dongfeng Ancient Country.
"Preserve natural law, extinguish human desires? PAH!"
"..."
Su Bei looked up and was slightly taken aback by Yu Hongxiu’s expression. This was the first time he’d seen Yu Hongxiu with such an expression. Although they hadn’t interacted much, she had always been all smiles, even if her eyes sometimes held a dangerous glint that made him wary.
Seeming to realize she had spoken too much, Yu Hongxiu stopped talking and turned her head away, continuing to watch the world outside the window.
Su Bei thoughtfully observed Yu Hongxiu, and a bold idea suddenly sprouted in his mind. Could Yu Hongxiu be a feminist?! Although he didn’t know much about the term, he had a general understanding of two types. One was simply about women’s empowerment, and the other... well, mentioning it would likely draw flak. Yeah, the former was probably more common.
Su Bei’s lips curled into a slight smile. He had finally gotten a clue on how to raise Yu Hongxiu’s affection level.
Then he set down the brush in his hand, blew the ink dry on the paper, and spoke, "Headmistress Yu, I’ve roughly completed the content for the first edition of the newspaper!
"Please take a look."
"..."
...
「Dongfeng Ancient Country, Mo City, Mo Family.」
Mo Zhan looked at the letter in front of him, his face full of shock as he gasped in astonishment.
Then, with trembling hands, he put down the letter and said to the Mo Family disciple before him, "You... you mean Elder Su appeared in Mo City?
"And punctured a hole in the sky with his sword?
"Using the Qingping Sword?"
The Mo Family disciple nodded, his eyes filled with certainty as he said, "It’s true. I was there at the scene.
"At that time, Elder Su drew out the Qingping Sword, soared into the sky, and stabbed towards the heavens. That terrifying oppressive force made the elder from Wuhua Palace too frightened to even move!
"I felt like Elder Su was a Sword Immortal descended! It would be hard to find anyone in the entire Twenty-One Provinces to match Elder Su!
"At the time of enrollment, Sword Sect grants special permission!
"What he said was so exhilarating; I too wish to enroll in the Sword Sect."
"..."
Watching the disciple chatter non-stop like a machine gun, Mo Zhan quickly stretched out his hand to stop him. Then, his eyes shifted, and he asked with a puzzled look, "You say Li Er and Qiang Er were also at the scene? And they were dining with Elder Su?"
"Yes! I saw it with my own eyes; it’s absolutely true. In the end, for some reason, Elder Su carried off the young lady..."
"Carried off? Where to?"
"..."
