Ye Luoli: The Charismatic Girl Leads the World to Darkness

"Master, why are you sighing?"

Jasmine, holding Shu Yan's arm, was worried about the safety of Wang Mo and the others, as well as her own safety. She was extremely nervous. When she saw Shu Yan sigh, she asked a question in an attempt to distract herself.

"Sigh," Shu Yan sighed again, then turned to Jasmine and whispered, "Sisi is angry."

"Oh, how could that be? Sisi has such a good temper, how could she give birth..."

Jasmine was startled and instinctively wanted to retort, but halfway through her sentence, she suddenly remembered Chen Sisi's polite thanks at her home. She hadn't thought much of it before, but now that she thought about it, she realized that the politeness was mixed with indifference and aloofness.

For a moment, the rest of her words caught in her throat. After a long while, Jasmine managed to find her voice and asked dryly, "W-why?"

Shu Yan raised his head, watching the slender blue figure slowly disappear into the teleportation tunnel above him. Without turning around, he spoke softly, asking Jasmine, but it was more like he was asking himself:

"We were supposed to come and rescue people, so we went to the village to gather information first, but... we didn't—Jianpeng and Liangcai were playing on the vines, and we were waiting on the rooftop to eat cake. Ha, what kind of information gathering is this? Why... why did we do this?"

Why, why is he acting like he's lost his mind, putting aside important matters and only thinking about playing? He's not usually like that!

Shu Yan clenched his fists tightly at his sides. He sometimes felt like a puppet on a stage, its body wrapped in strings, being manipulated and swayed at will by an invisible hand for the audience to watch and judge.

Just like when he first met Jasmine—he wasn't curious or excited at all; in fact, his first reaction was to back away and be on guard.

But he just couldn't take a step until he heard himself say "okay"—he only realized this the next day when he reviewed the situation. He felt a pang of unease, but somehow forgot about it after a while.

After hearing Shu Yan's words, Jasmine clearly realized something. She pursed her lips and lowered her head, remaining silent.

The two remained silent, each lost in their own thoughts, until they passed through the teleportation tunnel and arrived at the huge circular plaza surrounded by cliffs on all sides. Shu Yan took a few steps forward and stood in front of Chen Sisi before finally speaking.

He said, "Sisi, I'm sorry for my previous behavior, but please believe me, it wasn't an action driven by my own will."

"Why are you here again?" Bing Lixue said with some disdain.

Yan Xi tilted her head as well, rubbing the goosebumps on her arms through the light gauze shawl, and asked with a hint of resentment, "Why are you here?"

"I'm here to see my older sister, is that not allowed?" Having been disliked so many times, Yan Jue didn't care about Bing Lixue's disdain. He stood there lazily, tapping his left hand with his fan, his resentful gaze fixed on Yan Xi, making her feel uncomfortable.

"If I hadn't sensed my elder sister's fluctuations of immortal power and rushed over to check on things, I wouldn't have known that my elder sister and Ah Bing were so close. She returned to the Immortal Realm and neglected her younger brother, and was the first to come to this Ice Crystal Palace. Is my Emerald Bamboo Pavilion not beautiful enough?"

The faint sound echoed in the hall, swirling around a few times before slowly settling down and dissipating, like a bottle of vinegar that shattered with a snap.

"Ugh~ So sour! Who's been jealous?!" Mo Ran, a bystander, raised her hand and fanned her nose twice, looking extremely disgusted.

"Tsk, that explains why we didn't have vinegar when we made dumplings." The idiot rubbed his nose, then pulled out a handful of sunflower seeds from his sleeve, looking on with anticipation.

Mo Ran's gaze lingered on the fool's hand for a second before she turned her head away slowly. She also wanted to eat some sunflower seeds, but considering the image she had just cultivated in front of others, she could only give up "with tears in her eyes."

Mo Ran: Ugh, I want to eat this! (?i_i?)

Idiot: Click click click...tui~

Yan Xi shuddered at Yan Jue's words, silently taking two steps back, her eyes filled with shock as she looked at Yan Jue.

Good heavens, it's the old Daiyu sister! If I had known she was coming, I wouldn't have come.

My god, this guy really knows how to be sarcastic and weird; it's seriously creepy!

Bing Lixue seemed to be used to Yan Jue's tone. After hearing it, she merely glanced at him with disdain and snorted. Everyone present, except Yan Xi, could detect a hint of hidden pride in her calm voice.

"How can your bamboo hut, Cuizhu Pavilion, compare to my Ice Crystal Palace? Besides, isn't my Ice Crystal Forest far more beautiful than your monotonous bamboo?"

Yan Jue knew all too well the fox's obsession with good looks, gritted his teeth, and in the blink of an eye saw Yan Xi, who seemed to have lost all emotional intelligence, nodding off incessantly.

Yan Jue: ...

Yan Jue pressed the tip of his tongue against the roof of his mouth, which made Yan Xi laugh out of anger.

He stopped tapping his fan, took a step toward Yan Xi, and disappeared.

The next second, Yan Jue appeared in front of Yan Xi.

"Sister."

Yan Jue leaned closer to Yan Xi's ear, picked up a strand of her hair with one hand, and lowered his voice to say:

"Sister, your blunt agreement is truly disheartening to me!"

[Holy crap, holy crap, holy crap, he's so good!] The idiot's eyes widened, he stopped eating his melon seeds, and his other free hand frantically patted Mo Ran's shoulder.

Mo Ran: ...You've gone too far!

Mo Ran rolled her eyes at the idiot speechlessly, then, seeing Yan Xi and the other person about to come into close contact, her eyes darkened slightly, and she turned her head away with a sour feeling.

I'll kick over this bowl of dog food. As long as I can't see it, it's as if it doesn't exist!

To his surprise, when he turned his head, he saw Bing Lixue on the other side. Although she still didn't show any change in expression, Mo Ran could feel displeasure from her.

In Zhang Qiling's acting style, it's like using your face to insult someone.

Sensing Mo Ran's gaze, Bing Lixue also turned to look at her, and the two of them had a passionate (not really) eye contact.

Ink stain: ...

Bing Lixue: ...

Perhaps it was their perfect understanding stemming from their shared personality; the two had only known each other for less than five minutes without saying a word, but they understood each other's meaning and successfully reached a consensus simply by exchanging a glance.

Mo Ran smiled, raised her hand and made a grasping motion in Yan Jue's direction. Instantly, a thick vine appeared in the air, darting behind Yan Jue with a "whoosh." One end rooted itself in the ice, while the other wrapped around Yan Jue's waist and swung him backward. Yan Jue was sent flying backward.

At the same time, Bing Lixue slightly curled the corners of her lips and raised her hand to form a seal: "Frosty ice floats, like snow crystals."

The next second, Yan Jue, who was flying backward, was frozen in the center by a huge block of ice, still in that folded shape, and one of his slippers was even lost.

With a loud "bang," the ice block hit the ground, shaking the Ice Crystal Palace.

Yan Xi:!!!∑(°Д°ノ)ノ

Having witnessed everything, Yan Xi's gaze swept back and forth between Mo Ran and Bing Lixue, her eyes almost overflowing with shock and bewilderment.

Frozen...frozen fox?!

This scare not only failed to cure Yan Xi's zero emotional intelligence, but also gave her a zero IQ...

So, instead of thinking about why the two did this, the fox felt a sense of dread, like a rabbit mourning the death of its sister... oops, a brother freezing his sister, and he felt like he was about to be frozen into ice, which scared him so much that his ears and tail popped out.

Curled up in a corner, Yan Xi trembled, clutching her weak, pitiful, and helpless self. Her eyes were filled with resistance as she looked at Mo Ran and Bing Lixue, her face clearly displaying the words:

Don't come over here! ! !

Ink stain: ...

Bing Lixue: ...

Seeing Yan Xi's worthless, silly look, Mo Ran's expression management system was about to go out of control. His facial muscles twisted slightly, and the veins on his forehead throbbed.

Gritting his teeth, Mo Ran couldn't hold back any longer. He took two steps forward and gave Yan Xi a sharp rap on the back of the head, then grabbed Yan Xi by the back of the neck and dragged her out of the Ice Crystal Palace. Halfway there, he even stopped to greet Bing Lixue.

"It was a small accident, please excuse me."

After saying that, she pulled Yan Xi and walked outside.

Yan Xi: (*?????)

Yan Xi had a tearful expression on her face and remained motionless as Mo Ran dragged her across the ice.

Idiot: Hahahahahahahahaha!

------

small theater.

Yan Xi: Waaaaaah! Ouch! (????????????) Ouch! Bullying the fox! (*?????)

Mo Ran, you're not human! Mo Ran, you have no heart! Waaaaah!

Mo Ran: Shut up! [Fist hardening.jpg]

Idiot: Hahahaha [slaps table and laughs wildly.jpg]

Mo Ran: Shut up! You're fucking blocking my eyes!

Idiot: Okay, I'll mute.

Lemon: Enough said, just laugh!
