Why Are All the Fairies Trying To Make Me Fall

Chapter 42

Showing off the dress’s origin to Senior Sister Jiang… how is this any different from mocking her?! This is simply playing with fire!

Just reading the description of the main quest, Qin Wanyuan felt a sense of foreboding. After all, Jiang Moqing was a woman with a strong sense of possessiveness ingrained in her character. It was fine when she was using her ruthless skills, but if she were to be provoked further… who knows what would happen.

‘System, are you trying to make a fool of me with this task?’

【This system is fair and just. The main quest is crucial for helping the host’s partner pursue their target. If not completed, the plot cannot progress.】

【The host has also noticed, right? Since the last task, Lin Que and Jiang Moqing’s progress has stagnated. To advance, a catalyst is necessary.】

‘…Fine.’

Although this task seemed quite ominous, Qin Wanyuan had to admit that the system was right.

It had been almost a month since the system awakened, and Jiang Moqing’s affection for Lin Que was steadily increasing, yet Lin Que remained lukewarm. It would be a lie to say Qin Wanyuan wasn’t anxious.

The calamity of the evil cultivators destroying their sect was only two years away. Currently, she couldn’t find any traitors within the sect, so she had to find a way to improve her and Lin Que’s cultivation to protect their little home.

Qin Wanyuan took a deep breath and made up her mind.

It’s just mocking her, right? I can handle this!

But before that, Qin Wanyuan still picked a few protective talismans from her storage ring, as it’s better to be safe than sorry.

Lin Que, unaware of her thoughts, was already in the kitchen preparing dinner.

Cooking actually has its intricacies; the menu must be tailored to each person’s preferences. In this little home, everyone had different tastes. Qin Wanyuan liked sweet flavors, Qin Qian’er preferred sour and spicy, while Lin Que himself leaned towards savory but had no particular dislikes.

By the way, Jiang Moqing liked sweet flavors just like Qin Wanyuan. When Lin Que first saw that icy senior sister savoring a candied hawthorn, his expression was quite something.

In the past, since Qin Qian’er and Lin Que didn’t get along well, he didn’t have to specially prepare for her tastes; everything was based on Qin Wanyuan’s preferences.

A table full of various flavors, satisfying the appetites of the Qin sisters, was soon ready. The three of them sat around the dining table, with Qin Qian’er focused on her meal. Qin Wanyuan blinked and looked at her sister.

“Qian’er, how did your research on that phoenix egg go this afternoon? Did you make any progress?” She initiated a conversation, breaking the silence.

Lin Que was right; after all, the sisters couldn’t remain awkward over such trivial matters. As the older sister, she had to take the lead in breaking the silence.

“Mm, as expected of the egg of a divine beast, just observing it for an afternoon, I can already feel signs of breaking through my cultivation bottleneck. I should be able to start preparing for the breakthrough tomorrow,” Qin Qian’er replied with a smile.

Watching her sister pick up the topic and not mention what happened at noon, Qin Wanyuan let out a sigh of relief.

‘Just as Lin Lang said, Qian’er will act as if that incident never happened. That’s great…’

Thus, the two sisters tacitly chatted about their daily lives, no longer bringing up the noon incident.

After the meal, Lin Que took out a few books from his storage ring and handed them to Qin Qian’er. “These books on supernatural tales are ones I brought back from Wanbao City. They might be helpful to you.”

Looking at the few brand-new books, Qin Qian’er did not take them immediately but glanced at her sister. Seeing her nod, she then accepted them.

“… Thank you.”

“You’re welcome.”

The two of them were as polite as if they had just met, but Qin Wanyuan didn’t push for anything. As long as Lin Que and Qin Qian’er’s relationship improved gradually, that was enough.

As the saying goes, harmony in the family leads to prosperity!

At night, Qin Qian’er took on the task of washing the dishes, while Lin Que and Qin Wanyuan went back to their rooms to rest after bathing.

Qin Wanyuan loved this flowing fairy dress so much that she was reluctant to take it off. She stood in front of the dressing table, admiring herself in the glass mirror, occasionally waving her sleeves, looking very happy.

Lin Que was originally reading the second chapter of the scroll given by the little demon, but he couldn’t help but be drawn to Qin Wanyuan’s fluttering skirt and the glimpses of her white silk-clad legs.

“Ahem.”

He cleared his throat a couple of times, stood up, and pretended to be nonchalant as he approached Qin Wanyuan. Then, from behind, he gently wrapped his arms around her slender waist and leaned down to whisper in her ear.

“Wanyuan, it’s getting late. Don’t you think we should…”

I must say, after putting on this flowing fairy dress, the already graceful Qin Wanyuan looked even more alluring.

In any case, Lin Que couldn’t hold back.

Feeling the warm breath he exhaled against her ear and the firm object pressing against her waist, Qin Wanyuan felt herself go soft all over.

“But Lin Lang, I…”

I’ve already finished all my potions.

That day, just making Lin Que surrender once caused Qin Wanyuan to drink up the two bottles of potions she had been saving. Even so, it was only a barely successful effort.

If I have to face the desire-ridden Lin Que now without having taken any potions…

Just thinking about it makes my legs weak!

“If it’s inconvenient, then let’s forget it.”

Lin Que said softly, and the large hand that had been resting on Qin Wanyuan’s lower abdomen withdrew.

He still respected Qin Wanyuan’s wishes.

“It’s not that it’s inconvenient.”

Noticing Lin Que’s hand leaving, Qin Wanyuan grasped his hand back, biting her lip lightly, and slowly spoke, “I just want to take off my clothes first.”

After all, it was a new outfit, and if it got dirty, she would feel heartbroken.

Moreover, Qin Wanyuan truly didn’t want to refuse Lin Que’s invitation.

The system has a saying that isn’t wrong; she is both inexperienced and playful. Even knowing she wouldn’t win without the potion, she still wanted to give it a try.

On the other side, noticing that Qin Wanyuan was only worried about getting her clothes dirty, Lin Que smiled.

“No need, this is fine. I’ll clean it up later.”

As he spoke, those large hands began to wander restlessly downward, quickly reaching the delicate thighs wrapped in white silk.

“Ying~”

Qin Wanyuan let out a soft cry, setting up a layer of soundproofing formation, and allowed Lin Que to proceed.

Outside the window, the moonlight was serene, with no wind or rain, but the candlelight inside the room flickered rhythmically, accompanied by soft moans.

As the flickering candlelight trembled, everything returned to calm.

And all of this lasted merely a quarter of an hour.

“Hu… hu…”

Qin Wanyuan lay weakly in Lin Que’s arms, gasping for breath, her calves faintly trembling, her expression one of indescribable disappointment. “I’m sorry, Lin Lang… I still can’t…”

To this, Lin Que merely smiled gently, stroking her little head in comfort. “It’s okay, I’m already very happy that you could reach this level.”

After saying this, Lin Que silently began to run the Heart-Calming Technique again.

Noticing this, Qin Wanyuan buried her head in his embrace, feeling an indescribable guilt in her heart.

‘Sorry, Lin Lang, just bear with it a little longer. Once I complete the task tomorrow and my physique improves again, I’ll definitely be able to satisfy you…’

Suddenly, Qin Wanyuan stopped. She realized something quite significant.

The system’s main task was to show off the flowing fairy dress that Lin Que had bought in front of Jiang Moqing.

However…

She lowered her head to check the condition of the flowing fairy dress.

Fortunately, the dress itself was mostly unharmed; the water stains could be washed away without a trace. As long as she could endure her embarrassment, she could still wear it out. But the problem was… during their earlier encounter, Lin Que had casually torn the white ice silkworm stockings, leaving several holes in them.

‘System, can I not wear these white ice silkworm stockings?’ Qin Wanyuan asked the system in her mind, seeking a way out.

After all, visiting her senior sister in torn stockings was far too embarrassing! And to specifically show off to Jiang Shijie… wouldn’t she immediately guess what Qin Wanyuan had done with Lin Que last night just by looking at the holes in the stockings?!

But the system’s next words shattered her last glimmer of hope.

【No, the white silk and the flowing fairy dress are a set. They cannot be worn separately to complete the task.】

Qin Wanyuan: …Oh no, I’m doomed.
