Why Are All the Fairies Trying To Make Me Fall

Chapter 18

Following the fragrant aroma, Lin Que saw Qin Wanyuan soaking her feet.

Her delicate feet were bathed in a medicinal soak, the water rippling gently, and he could faintly see her dainty toes slightly tensing.

“Lin Lang, are you done with your work?” Upon seeing Lin Que turn around, Qin Wanyuan greeted him with a smile.

“Mm.” Lin Que nodded, “But what are you doing…?”

“Oh, this is a recipe recommended by a friend. They say it’s good for blood circulation.” Qin Wanyuan tucked a strand of hair behind her ear.

She felt too embarrassed to mention that the effect of the foot soak was to make her feet softer and fragrant.

‘If Lin Lang finds out, will he think I’m some kind of strange woman…?’

“Is that so?” Lin Que didn’t doubt her words. He first went to wash up before returning to the room.

Qin Wanyuan had just finished soaking her feet and was now wiping them with a cotton cloth.

After being immersed in the medicinal liquid, her feet indeed looked more alluring, with wisps of white steam rising alongside the delicate fragrance. The tops of her feet were pale with a hint of pink, the skin so tender it seemed almost fragile, and one could even vaguely see the fine blue veins.

“Lin Lang?” Qin Wanyuan tilted her head, looking at Lin Que, who seemed slightly lost in thought.

Hearing his partner’s voice, Lin Que finally came back to his senses. He cleared his throat a couple of times, no longer looking at Qin Wanyuan’s delicate feet, and directly turned to get into bed.

In truth, Lin Que occasionally thought about having Qin Wanyuan help him in other ways, but unfortunately, she was quite the conservative type.

So far, the two had only unlocked two positions: one was the conservative missionary position, and the other was the surprisingly proactive one from that previous night.

If he suddenly asked the conservative Qin Wanyuan to help him in a way that challenged her understanding, like with her feet, lips, or something like a big white rabbit, she might think he had some strange quirks.

Better not to think about it.

After all, cultivators have their own methods.

Clear Heart Technique, activate!

Lin Que was always unguarded around Qin Wanyuan, so naturally, he wouldn’t notice that she was quietly using her divine sense to perceive the flow of his spiritual energy.

Noticing that Lin Que was operating the Clear Heart Technique, Qin Wanyuan lowered her head in guilt.

‘It’s the Clear Heart Technique again… I’m sorry, Lin Lang, I can’t satisfy you.’

She wanted to help Lin Que, but she also understood that with her level, she would only make things worse, causing Lin Que to endure even more pain.

[Host, don’t feel inferior. As long as you complete the tasks, your stats will correspondingly improve.]

Although it was just an emotionless female voice, Qin Wanyuan actually heard a hint of comfort in it.

‘Oh…’

Although the system’s words were quite positive, she still couldn’t feel happy, after all, the system’s task was to send Lin Que into the arms of other women… sigh.

[Host, there’s no need to be so pessimistic. No matter what, the person Lin Que loves the most right now is undoubtedly you. As long as you maintain his high favorability, it’s fine.]

Hearing the system’s words, Qin Wanyuan’s eyebrows drooped, and she suddenly muttered in her heart:

‘System, I have something to ask you.’

[Please speak, Host.]

‘Will Lin Lang’s favorability towards me also decrease?’

Ever since Jiang Moqing mocked her that day, and Lin Que’s favorability towards Jiang Moqing immediately dropped, Qin Wanyuan had been worried.

She was sentimental. She was happy that Lin Que was angry because she was mocked, but she was also afraid that one day Lin Que’s favorability towards her would decrease.

After all, Jiang Moqing was Lin Que’s former Dao companion, but the two eventually separated, and Lin Que’s favorability towards Jiang Moqing was quite low.

Qin Wanyuan was afraid that one day she would become like that too, afraid that Lin Que would leave in disappointment because she could never satisfy him…

[No, once the favorability reaches your level, unless you do something outrageous, it won’t decrease.]

The system reminded her at this moment.

Hearing this, Qin Wanyuan was silent for a moment, then asked faintly:

‘Then… what is Lin Lang’s favorability towards Senior Sister Jiang, and what did Senior Sister Jiang do to cause their relationship to break?’

[This involves spoilers, the host needs to explore on her own.]

‘…’

Qin Wanyuan was speechless.

Although she was very curious, she couldn’t directly ask Lin Que, after all, he had just had a dream about the past two days ago, and she suddenly asked him about related matters.

With Lin Que’s vigilance, he would likely suspect her.

‘It seems I can only wait until I get the two Dream Sharing Talismans later.’

Qin Wanyuan sighed softly, pointed at the candlestick on the table, and the candle flame went out.

The night passed.

The next day, Qin Wanyuan, as usual, took Lin Que to Jiang Moqing’s cave for sparring. Jiang Moqing still ignored Lin Que throughout, but his favorability was gradually increasing, only to drop back a bit.

It was truly like a frog jumping against the well wall.

However, Jiang Moqing’s attitude towards Qin Wanyuan had improved slightly. Although he still appeared cold as a big ice block on the surface, at least he no longer rejected her.

For the next half month, Qin Wanyuan went to Jiang Moqing’s cave every day for sparring. Her cultivation and swordsmanship were steadily improving.

Lin Que only accompanied her for the first few days. Later, as Qin Wanyuan and Jiang Moqing’s relationship gradually became familiar and they knew their limits, he stopped going.

From noble mtl dot com

Qin Wanyuan also tacitly did not force Lin Que to accompany her all the time. She noticed that Lin Que had other important matters to attend to.

Indeed, that was the case.

For the past half month, Lin Que had been studying the remnants of the technique given by the little demon every day. It could only be said that it was worthy of being a technique passed down from ancient times, with a very high threshold.

To fully master it took Lin Que a lot of time and effort.

Because this technique not only required proficiency in ancient characters but also a sufficiently strong soul to support its operation.

Fortunately, Lin Que was patient and tried day after day, finally fully understanding the first part of the remnants.

“If you just agreed to let me instill it in you, you could master it in an instant. Why waste half a month? Just watching is boring~” the little demon complained.

“Only what you learn yourself is truly yours,” Lin Que responded lightly.

“Tch, hypocrite.” The little demon snorted and then disappeared.

Lin Que put the remnants of the technique into his storage ring, rubbed his sore eyebrows, then got up and stretched, preparing to sit on the bed and meditate.

At this moment, he noticed a cup of slightly cool tea on the bedside table, with a note underneath it. The handwriting was delicate, belonging to a young girl.

[Tea for nourishing the spirit, remember to drink it.]

It wasn’t Qin Wanyuan’s handwriting.

“Qin Qian’er?”

Lin Que thought for a moment. There were only three people in the cave. Qin Wanyuan went out to spar with Jiang Moqing, so it could only be Qin Qian’er who left it.

She probably came to deliver the calming tea, saw him busy studying the technique, left the tea, and didn’t forget to leave a note to remind him.

“Since she has taken the initiative to improve the relationship, it would be petty of me to hold grudges over past matters.”

Lin Que smiled, picked up the calming tea left by Qin Qian’er, and drank it all in one go.

“Mm… it’s indeed a bit bitter when it cools down.”
