Why Are All the Fairies Trying To Make Me Fall

Chapter 43

The next day, Lin Que, as usual, got up early to prepare a nutritious breakfast for Qin Wanyuan, who sat on the bed, staring blankly at the torn white stockings in her hands.

“Do I really have to wear these stockings to visit my senior sister…?”

Though she had no choice but to do so, she still felt a bit uneasy inside.

“Forget it, no pain, no gain. For the sake of the task reward, I’ll go all out!”

Systematic task rewards are often linked to difficulty. For instance, the previous task that required Lin Que and Jiang Moqing to gaze at each other only yielded a bottle of patience potion.

But this time, not only could it enhance Lin Que’s charm and his own physique, but there was also a set of shared dream talismans.

As long as he could complete it, he would be able to once again enter Lin Que and Jiang Moqing’s memories tonight, uncovering how they came together and how they ultimately parted.

The last dream had ended in a strange place, leaving Qin Wanyuan quite curious about how the story would unfold next, itching with anticipation.

This gave her a subtle sense of déjà vu, as if she were daily waiting in a teahouse, eager for the storyteller to continue.

Shaking her head, Qin Wanyuan finally put on the pair of torn white stockings.

Looking down, the holes in the stockings seemed like embellishments of a certain allure, with one particularly exaggerated tear revealing a large expanse of smooth, snowy skin.

Although the stockings had been washed and dried with magic, leaving no trace behind, the sight of the holes always reminded Qin Wanyuan of how Lin Que had torn them last night and how he had held her leg…

“Ugh… it’s still so embarrassing.”

Taking a deep breath, Qin Wanyuan stood up and retrieved the light blue flowing fairy dress from the wardrobe, which Lin Que had washed and hung back this morning.

Dressed neatly, she stood in front of the vanity, carefully checking for any flaws, then pulled down the hem of her dress to hide the torn stockings even deeper.

Fortunately, she and Jiang Moqing both resided at Drunken Jade Peak, which housed only five people in total, and aside from Lin Que, all were women. Otherwise, she would never have dared to step out in such an embarrassing outfit.

After breakfast, Qin Wanyuan headed out, while Lin Que stayed at home with Qin Qian’er.

Lin Que was quite mindful of the distance between him and his sister-in-law. When Qin Qian’er was in his room studying the Phoenix egg, he sat in the pavilion reading, not sharing a room with her.

“The location of the second fragment’s acupoint is in the arm.”

Lin Que looked at the contents of the fragment, raising his right hand into the air, slowly furrowing his brow.

At first glance, Lin Que’s right hand seemed normal, but upon closer inspection, one could see it was faintly trembling.

This was a remnant of the aftermath of the Evil Cultivation City incident from years ago. Even after using various rare materials and regaining his Golden Core cultivation, this old injury had yet to heal.

The meridians in his arm were nearly a fatal wound. Daily life posed no problem, but wielding a sword to fight was quite challenging.

Fortunately, during his period of being incapacitated, Lin Que did not slack off but instead diligently trained his left-hand swordsmanship, which he had now mastered.

Even so, it still fell short compared to his accustomed right hand.

Now, as he read the fragment and confirmed that it contained methods to heal his right hand’s old injury, even Lin Que couldn’t help but show a hint of joy in his eyes.

“Reconnecting the meridians and reopening the acupoints, huh…”

A smile appeared at the corner of Lin Que’s mouth.

Just as he was about to study the fragment seriously, the little demon, who had been absent for a while, suddenly appeared on his shoulder.

As always, she wore a black Gothic midgetta outfit, but if there was any difference, it was that her originally black stockings had been replaced with one black and one white suspender.

“I didn’t expect you to be this happy over such a trivial matter.”

“Can reconnecting the meridians be considered trivial? Moreover, the subsequent fragments also contain methods to repair the remaining meridians. I think it’s quite worth celebrating.”

Lin Que placed his hand on his chest, responding in a calm tone.

Such injuries that could ruin a cultivator were not so easily healed. Back when his senior sister went missing during a mission, Lin Que’s cultivation was crippled, leaving him powerless to rescue her, and he was even knocked out and confined by An Xiaoyao in the cave.

In this seemingly desperate situation, the little demon appeared.

She healed Lin Que to a state where he had enough strength to rescue Jiang Moqing, but the price was that the two of them had to be bound together from then on, sharing life and death.

To save Jiang Moqing, Lin Que accepted the little demon’s condition.

Even so, the little demon couldn’t heal all of Lin Que’s injuries. His right hand, heart meridian, and dantian were the most severe injuries, and they still ached faintly to this day.

Therefore, he couldn’t break through the bottleneck of the Golden Core stage and reach the Nascent Soul stage.

As for whether the little demon really couldn’t heal him or just didn’t want to, only she knew in her heart.

Listening to Lin Que’s explanation, the little demon’s delicate face was full of disdain, “Hmph, are you really stupid or just pretending? If you really wanted to, healing your old injuries would be a matter of one night.”

“I’m not a god, how could I possibly do that?” Lin Que shrugged, pretending not to understand the meaning behind the little demon’s words.

“Stop it, I can smell the dragon scent on you. You went to see that white-haired dragon girl yesterday, didn’t you? Do I need to teach you how to heal?”

The little demon put on a smiling face, “The dragon clan’s secret body refining technique, those who master it can reshape their bones and muscles, with immense dragon power. Minor meridian issues would naturally be resolved along the way. And you are just one step away from mastering it.”

Lin Que didn’t answer, the little demon was used to it and continued talking to herself.

“I guess that little dragon girl is afraid of hardship and has never practiced that body refining technique. She only knows it’s powerful, so she gave you the secret technique without even seeing the content on the first page. If I remember correctly, it says, ‘Those without dragon blood cannot practice this secret technique.'”

“But who would have thought that a human without dragon blood would go and practice that secret technique, and actually make something of it. It’s a pity that without dragon blood, the technique can never be fully mastered. Isn’t that right, Lin Que~”

Listening to the little demon’s words, Lin Que finally spoke, “So what are you trying to say?”

“Hmph, are you really stupid or just pretending? With your physique, as long as you take that white-haired dragon girl’s first night, you can obtain dragon blood. Then, the body refining technique will be mastered, your bones and muscles reshaped, and the meridian issues resolved. Wouldn’t that be killing two birds with one stone?”

“…..” Lin Que frowned.

“Are you worried she’ll cling to you? Don’t worry, with that white-haired dragon girl’s admiration for you, even if you only ask for one night of pleasure, she wouldn’t refuse. She might even be quite willing.”

At this point, the little demon suddenly leaned close to Lin Que’s ear and whispered, “Now, do I need to teach you what to do?”

“Yes, I know what to do.”

Lin Que nodded seriously.

The little demon looked delighted, thinking Lin Que had finally come to his senses.

However,

In the next second, Lin Que flicked his finger and hit the little demon’s forehead with lightning speed.

“Ah!”

The little demon cried out in pain. Last time she dodged Lin Que’s flick, but this time she was caught off guard and squatted down, holding her forehead.

“I should have done this a long time ago.”

Lin Que sighed helplessly, “By the way, is there anything else in your brain besides lewd thoughts?”

“What do you know? Without indulgence, life is boring! Carpe diem is what we should pursue!”

Although her forehead hurt, the little demon still pretended to be calm and answered righteously.

“….Forget it, I can’t argue with you.”

Lin Que had never intended to engage in a debate with the little devil, so he decided to end the conversation and continue studying the ancient scrolls.

The little devil, on the other hand, left in a huff, either because of another failed attempt at temptation or because Lin Que had tapped him on the forehead.

………

Meanwhile, Qin WanYing, dressed in a light blue Flowing Immortal dress, arrived at Jiang Moqing’s cave.

As they met, Qin WanYing could feel Jiang Moqing’s gaze wandering over her dress.

“Practicing swordsmanship?” Jiang Moqing asked, as usual, getting straight to the point.

Upon hearing Jiang Moqing’s words, Qin WanYing took a deep breath and recited the lines she had prepared earlier.

“Let’s not practice swordsmanship today. If I accidentally damage this Flowing Immortal dress made by the Luli Pavilion, which Lin Lang gave me, it would be a shame.”

As soon as she finished speaking, Qin WanYing noticed that Jiang Moqing’s eyebrows had visibly twitched.
