Why Are All the Fairies Trying To Make Me Fall

Chapter 31

“Chief Lin?”

Hearing this title, Qin Qian’er was somewhat puzzled.

If she remembered correctly, Lin Que should only be an inner disciple. Although she guessed he had some hidden identity, “chief”… this term in the world of immortality describes the strongest among the hundred sects.

Did he have such an identity hidden?

Compared to Qin Qian’er’s confusion, Qin Wanyuan was calm. After all, she had seen Lin Que’s spirited appearance in her dreams.

The chief of the Eastern Region, this already proved that Lin Que stood at the pinnacle of the new generation of immortals in the Eastern Region, or rather, he once did.

Lin Que’s expression was indifferent as he got straight to the point: “Eighth elder, we are here to transfer Qian’er to another elder for her studies.”

“Oh? Why is that?” The eighth elder’s brows slowly furrowed, his eyes showing a hint of worry, as if recalling where he might have offended this troublesome star.

Seeing this, Qin Wanyuan wanted to use the prepared excuse, but Lin Que spoke first.

“This is a family matter, no need for the elder to worry.”

“…Very well, very well.” The eighth elder seemed relieved and readily agreed to handle the transfer procedures.

Normally, transferring without reason would be questioning the eighth elder’s teaching ability, almost like slapping his face. Qin Wanyuan thought it would take more effort to succeed, but Lin Que managed it with just a few words.

If it weren’t for witnessing Lin Que’s past through the memory dream last night, Qin Wanyuan would have been shocked again today.

Looking at the sharp profile of the young man beside her, Qin Wanyuan felt he was like a celestial fruit wrapped in layers of disguise. The more she peeled away the layers, the sweeter and more enticing the revealed parts became, making her uncontrollably want to delve deeper.

In her previous life, Qin Wanyuan did not actively explore Lin Que’s past because she was afraid of uncovering scars he did not want to mention. But now, this layer of shackles was gradually being lifted.

‘I really want to understand Lin Lang more~’ She looked at Lin Que’s profile, and a slight smile appeared on her cherry-red lips.

With the matter settled, the three returned to the cave dwelling. Qin Qian’er went inside to cultivate, while Lin Que and Qin Wanyuan went to their room to be alone.

Qin Wanyuan slowly took off her outer garment, revealing her graceful figure. Her body was still wrapped in many bandages, covering most of her skin. This faintly visible and tight appearance added a bit of allure.

Lin Que took out the healing medicine from his storage ring, unwrapped the bandage, revealing Qin Wanyuan’s delicate, fair skin. She had her back to Lin Que, arms crossed over her chest, covering her snowy peaks, her complexion slightly flushed.

“The injury is healing well. If you avoid strenuous activities for the next few days, you should recover completely,” Lin Que advised while applying the medicine.

“Strenuous activities…” For some reason, Qin Wanyuan recalled the uninhibited release from that night, and her face turned even redder. “I won’t be doing that for the next few days…”

Lin Que was caught off guard by Qin Wanyuan’s sudden remark. He truly hadn’t expected this conservative girl’s mind to jump directly to such matters. “I didn’t mention that.”

After a pause, he continued, “But it is indeed best to avoid such activities for the next few days.”

“…..Hmm.”

Upon hearing Lin Que’s explanation, Qin Wanyuan realized how terrible her previous comment had been. She immediately lowered her head, wishing she could bury herself in the ground.

Lin Que, understanding her embarrassment, chose not to say anything further.

After a moment of silence, Qin Wanyuan spoke again.

“Lin Lang, why did Elder Eight just call you the leader?”

Although she knew from her memories that Lin Que was the leader in the Eastern Region’s competition among the hundred sects, she seized the opportunity to hear more about his past.

She genuinely wanted to understand Lin Que’s history and accept all of him.

“Well, back then, I had some talent and was a bit reckless in my youth, so I participated in the Eastern Region’s competition among the hundred sects and, by chance, secured the position of leader.”

Lin Que smiled, his words humble. “But that was many years ago. I haven’t made any progress since then; I fear my opponents from back then have long surpassed me.”

Since Qin Wanyuan was interested, Lin Que elaborated on the past events of the Eastern Region’s competition, mostly recalling formidable opponents who left a deep impression on him.

There was the Holy Son of the Divine Sword Sect, the Gu Doctor Fairy from the Ten Thousand Flower Valley, and the Divine Sword Sect’s Holy Maiden, known for her pure sword heart and obsession with the sword.

Qin Wanyuan turned to look at Lin Que, observing the nostalgia on his handsome face, and couldn’t help but feel a twinge of heartache.

She knew well how spirited Lin Que had been as a young sword immortal. If it weren’t for his desire to protect the citizens of that city, he wouldn’t have ended up with his cultivation crippled and meridians severed.

Considering this, it was likely that Lin Que’s current inability to break through was also due to the roots of his past injuries.

Qin Wanyuan didn’t understand Lin Que’s mindset when he sacrificed himself to save the citizens, but she would never mock his actions. Instead, she would try to understand him and, one day, stand by his side, looking at the same scenery together.

‘System, do you have a way to heal Lin Lang’s old injuries?’

【Of course, there is. Among the target of one hundred thousand points set for the host, there is a method to help the host’s partner eliminate the root of the illness.】 The system explained.

‘I understand.’

Qin Wanyuan took a deep breath, choosing not to continue the conversation with the system. She simply opened her eyes and looked at Lin Que, who was applying medicine for her.

The medicine was soon applied and rewrapped. Qin Wanyuan felt the warmth of the medicine seep into her heart and gently held Lin Que’s hand.

“By the way, Lin Lang, do you know how Senior Sister’s injuries are?”

“I’m not sure, but it should be similar to yours.”

Lin Que had indeed delivered medicine yesterday, but he hadn’t checked her pulse or confirmed Jiang Moqing’s injuries in detail. He only roughly confirmed that it wasn’t serious before heading to the Beast Mountain Forest.

“Then… Lin Lang, can you accompany me to visit Senior Sister Jiang’s cave later? I want to personally prepare some meals to thank her,” Qin Wanyuan said.

“Well, okay.” Lin Que nodded, not refusing.

Qin Wanyuan smiled slightly, holding Lin Que’s hand, and asked him to accompany her to the kitchen to prepare the spiritual meal.

The spiritual meal took some time to prepare, and it was all done by Qin Wanyuan herself, with Lin Que providing guidance.

In any case, Qin Wanyuan was somewhat grateful to Senior Sister Jiang Moqing, as she had not only saved her life in the demon beast forest but also extended a helping hand to Lin Que when he was at his lowest.

Emotionally and logically, she should express her gratitude.

However,

Just as Qin Wanyuan finished preparing the spiritual meal and was about to leave, the system’s voice rang in her mind.

[Main Task: Help Jiang Moqing and Lin Que complete an intimate contact (at least six breaths).]

[Reward: Slight increase in host’s partner charm, slight increase in host’s physique, stamina potion x1.]
