Why Are All the Fairies Trying To Make Me Fall

Chapter 41

Lin Que left the Liuli Pavilion.

He had intended to ask Ao Xinyu if she knew the person who had brought modern clothing, like qipao and stockings, into the world of cultivation.

In Lin Que’s view, that person was likely a traveler, the second one besides himself.

Ao Xinyu, being in charge of the Liuli Pavilion, certainly had access to more information than he did as an ordinary inner disciple who spent most of his time at the Wanjian Sect.

She might even know the person.

However,

Lin Que also sensed that Ao Xinyu might be facing some difficulties, and since she was unwilling to share her troubles with him, he felt it was not appropriate to intervene at the moment.

He decided to ask about the other traveler the next time they met and look for an opportunity to help her.

On his way back, Lin Que searched around Wanxiang City and found that all the shops selling modern clothing were affiliated with the Liuli Pavilion.

“It seems Ao Xinyu might indeed know the other traveler. I’ll ask her for an introduction when the time comes.”

Lin Que bought a set of flowing fairy attire that combined ancient and modern styles, along with a pair of ice silk stockings, as a gift for Qin Wanyuan.

As for Qin Qian’er… a few books would suffice; after all, giving beautiful clothes to a sister-in-law could easily lead to misunderstandings.

By the afternoon, Lin Que had returned home, only to find Qin Wanyuan sitting on a stone bench in the courtyard, looking somewhat anxious as she waited for something.

According to what Qin Wanyuan had said before leaving, she was supposed to visit Jiang Moqing’s home until evening, yet she had returned early.

“Lin Lang!”

Seeing Lin Que return, Qin Wanyuan immediately stood up and approached him, then realized her actions were a bit too eager. She took a deep breath to calm her emotions.

“Did something happen?” Lin Que gently patted Qin Wanyuan’s head and asked.

“No… I just got curious about where you went after I came home and didn’t see you,” Qin Wanyuan replied with a smile.

She couldn’t very well say that while she was at Jiang Moqing’s house in the afternoon, sipping tea and discussing Dao, the system suddenly notified her that a new target for攻略 had been added.

After receiving the system notification, Qin Wanyuan immediately checked the new target, a woman named Ao Xinyu.

Since they had never met, Ao Xinyu only appeared as a black silhouette in the system interface, but the dragon horns on her head were quite striking.

The system had explained that the targets for攻略 were determined based on the women Lin Que had recently interacted with, which meant that Lin Que had met other women without her knowledge.

The sudden change left Qin Wanyuan feeling flustered, and she imagined Lin Que secretly meeting other women behind her back. She lost interest in discussing Dao with Jiang Moqing and hurried back home, where she had been waiting ever since.

“The medicinal herbs in the storage ring are running low, so I went to Wanbao City to restock.”

Lin Que blinked, “I mentioned this to Qin Qian’er before I left. Wan Yuan, didn’t you ask her?”

“Is that so…”

Qin Wanyuan awkwardly brushed a strand of hair behind her ear and turned her head, “Lin Lang, you know, I still don’t know how to talk to Qian’er.”

She did want to ask Qin Qian’er, but because of what happened this morning, she was still a bit embarrassed and didn’t know how to face her sister.

Moreover, if she hurriedly asked her sister about Lin Que’s whereabouts, who knows if she might misunderstand something.

The misunderstanding between Qin Qian’er and Lin Que had just been resolved, and she didn’t want to create new misunderstandings.

“That’s true.”

Lin Que nodded, “But I think you should just act as if nothing happened. Qin Qian’er probably won’t bring up what happened this morning again.”

“Lin Lang, you’re right… Avoiding it forever isn’t a solution.”

Qin Wanyuan finally nodded, “But… Wanbao City? I’ve never been there.”

It was true. Although Wanbao City had a wide variety of cultivation resources, the prices were also quite high. Qin Wanyuan was frugal by nature. In her previous life, Lin Que had mentioned several times about taking her shopping in Wanbao City, but she had always politely declined.

But this life was different. Qin Wanyuan wanted to know if the woman named Ao Xinyu was in Wanbao City, and what kind of person she was.

“That’s true. How about I take you there next time? I can introduce you to a friend.” Lin Que offered.

“What kind of friend?” Qin Wanyuan pretended not to know, but she had a pretty good guess that it was Ao Xinyu.

“Her name is Ao Xinyu. She’s an old friend of mine. I bought today’s herbs from her.”

“Ao Xinyu… I’ve never heard of that name.”

“Well, we haven’t been in touch for a few years. I only saw her today because I went to buy herbs.”

Lin Que was indeed an excellent and devoted partner, explaining his whereabouts to prevent Qin Wanyuan from having unnecessary misunderstandings.

He also briefly mentioned how he met Ao Xinyu.

“I see.”

Qin Wanyuan breathed a sigh of relief, “But if you were such good friends before, why haven’t you been in touch for years?”

“Her Liuli Pavilion was still in its early stages back then, and I was busy with my own affairs. Naturally, we lost touch.”

Lin Que scratched his nose.

This explanation sounded reasonable at first, but Qin Wanyuan sensed a hint of a lie.

Something fishy…

Since Lin Lang didn’t want to say, she would investigate herself. Dream Sharing Talisman, prepare to activate!

However, there was only one Dream Sharing Talisman left, and it couldn’t construct a dream between Lin Que and Ao Xinyu. Besides, she was already at a loss on how to approach Jiang Moqing. If she used the Dream Sharing Talisman on someone she hadn’t started to approach yet, wouldn’t it be a waste?

After thinking it over, she decided to put aside the matter of Ao Xinyu for now and focus on figuring out how to win over her first target.

While chatting with Lin Que about what to eat tonight, Qin Wanyuan was also thinking about how to approach Jiang Moqing.

In fact, helping Jiang Moqing win over Lin Que was more accurate. Jiang Moqing’s affection for Lin Que had already reached a romantic level, but Lin Que remained indifferent.

He was really devoted, and Qin Wanyuan also liked Lin Que’s devotion.

But the current situation is… if Lin Que continues to be devoted, he will die.

Qin Wanyuan remembered a sentence from the system that once stung her.

[Host, do you prefer a living Lin Que, or a corpse that only loves you?]

No matter what, Qin Wanyuan hoped that Lin Que could live, even if by then, his love… was not only for her.

She was still thinking when a set of clothes suddenly appeared in front of her.

“Wanyuan, this is a gift I brought you when I came back today. See if it fits.” Lin Que held up the clothes and smiled at Qin Wanyuan.

It was a uniquely styled Liuxian dress, light blue with white cloud patterns on the sleeves, light and airy, rippling in the wind.

Qin Wanyuan’s eyes lit up. It was the first time she had seen such a beautiful dress, and… it was personally given to her by Lin Que.

“But, this dress must be very expensive… I have the sect’s Taoist robe, Lin Lang, you don’t have to spend so much…”

Although she liked the dress very much, Qin Wanyuan still didn’t want Lin Que to spend too much.

However,

Before she could finish her words, Lin Que patted her head, “Because it’s you, no matter how expensive it is, it’s worth it.”

With just a short sentence, Qin Wanyuan’s pretty face turned red, and she no longer mentioned any refusal, but obediently accepted the Liuxian dress.

“I’ll go change and show you.” She carefully held the dress, reluctant to let go, and worried about wrinkling it.

“Okay.”

After a pause, Lin Que suddenly said, “By the way, Wanyuan, these are white ice silkworm socks that go with the dress. You should wear them too.”

As he spoke, he took out the white silk from the storage ring and handed it to Qin Wanyuan.

“Okay.” Qin Wanyuan nodded, then went into the guest room to change.

Not long after, Qin Wanyuan, dressed in a light blue Liuxian dress, appeared in front of Lin Que again. She had pinned her hair, raised her hand, and danced with the cloud sleeves. The dress fluttered lightly, and the pearl flowers on the hem reflected a bright white light in the sunlight, looking like a dream, making Lin Que a little dazed.

“Lin Lang… how do you think?” Qin Wanyuan blinked and asked Lin Que.

“Beautiful!”

Lin Que did not hesitate to praise, but then paused and said, “However, now I can only see the Liuxian dress, but not the white ice silkworm socks, which is a bit regrettable.”

“These silkworm socks are…”

Hidden under the hem of the dress! To show them, wouldn’t she have to lift the hem of the dress to see clearly?

Qin Wanyuan’s pretty face turned red. She understood what Lin Que meant.

Anyway, it was at home, and only Lin Que could see this scene, so she agreed…

She quietly glanced back at the room and used her divine sense to check. Qin Qian’er was still focused on observing the phoenix egg and didn’t notice the movement in the yard.

At this point, Qin Wanyuan directly held the hem of the dress, her pretty face blushing slightly, hesitated for a moment, then gently lifted it, revealing her slender legs tightly wrapped in white silk under the hem.

“Lin Lang… how about this?”

“Is it still not clear enough? Can you raise it a bit higher?”

“Um… okay.”

Qin Wanyuan suppressed her shame, her heart racing, and lifted her skirt a little more. Now, not only her thighs but even the area on her white stockings was clearly visible.

“Is it good now?” Qin Wanyuan’s face was so red it seemed like it could drip water, looking as if she was about to cry.

“Mm, thank you, Wanyuan.” Lin Que smiled, stepping forward to embrace Qin Wanyuan and kissed her cheek.

“As long as you like it…” Qin Wanyuan took off her hairpin, covering most of her flushed face, too shy to look directly at Lin Que.

Just then, the system’s voice suddenly echoed in her mind.
