After Transmigrating Into a Pirated Novel to Teach Them a Lesson - Chapter 15

Fu Chenxue and Liu Changning stayed at Ye Luofeng’s place for dinner.

Although all three of them had already reached the fasting stage and were not people who indulged in pleasure, Ye Luofeng still received them as honored guests.

Fu Chenxue was afraid of meeting Ye Luofeng’s disciples. If one of them said something they should not say, then even jumping into the Yellow River would not wash her clean. So she prepared to find an excuse to leave that night.

However, Ye Luofeng held her back and said, “Chenxue, there’s still something I want to talk to you about. I went to the Yubing Sect to find you before but didn’t see you. Since we happened to meet today, let’s clear things up.”

Fu Chenxue had just sent Liu Changning off for an afternoon nap. Hearing Ye Luofeng say this, she was immediately confused.

She remembered that the last time she had met Ye Luofeng, Ye Luofeng had also told her there was something she wanted to discuss. Why was there something again today? What kind of matter could she remember for so long and still not forget?

Fu Chenxue could only ask, “Is it something important?”

Ye Luofeng frowned. Unexpectedly, she seemed somewhat hesitant. She looked at Fu Chenxue. “You… don’t remember?”

Fu Chenxue thought, oh no. This must be some messy affair between the original owner and Ye Luofeng. If she said she did not remember, it would definitely seem fake. She might even be mistaken for someone who had taken over the body.

After weighing things over, Fu Chenxue deflected lightly. “I remember, of course I remember. It’s just that so much time has passed… I don’t really care anymore.”

Ye Luofeng clearly did not believe this explanation. She looked deeply at Fu Chenxue, then said, “Let’s eat dinner first. After dinner… I’ll come find you again.”

After saying that, Ye Luofeng left.

Fu Chenxue was left standing there alone, full of question marks.

Liu Changning was resting in the room. On the way back, Fu Chenxue communicated with the system. “System, what exactly is Ye Luofeng talking about? Why don’t I understand?”

[System: Because the character-setting information you gave “Fu Chenxue” was too simple, the system does not know either.]

Fu Chenxue felt that something was wrong. “I keep feeling that there’s some melodramatic plot between Ye Luofeng and the original owner…”

[System: When you were writing the book, did you ever consider arranging a romantic storyline for “Fu Chenxue”?]

Fu Chenxue: “…”

She had only arranged for the original owner to be a cannon-fodder villain, all right? Where would a romantic storyline have come from!

At dinner, Fu Chenxue was still thinking about the original plot, while Ye Luofeng poured wine at the side, seeming as if she wanted to borrow the alcohol to speak her mind.

Liu Changning did not know what Fu Chenxue was thinking. At the dinner table, she held her hand, rubbing it while asking with concern, “Master, your hand is very cold.”

“Maybe it’s a little chilly here,” Fu Chenxue answered.

“Cold? I still have spare magical robes at my place. I’ll get one for your master.” Ye Luofeng had already drunk several cups of wine and was somewhat dizzy.

Seeing her cheeks flushed and her phoenix eyes hazy, Fu Chenxue could not help advising her, “Sigh. You clearly can’t drink, so why are you drinking so much?”

Ye Luofeng was drunk. Fu Chenxue’s words did not enter her ears at all. She lay on the table, looked at the wine cup, and mumbled vaguely, “Speaking of magical robes, I still remember that your master used to make clothes for me. There were new ones every month…”

Fu Chenxue: “???”

Fu Chenxue was stunned by this sudden recollection.

Help! Friend, what nonsense are you saying?!

When Liu Changning heard this, her brows immediately furrowed. “Master, what… clothes? What did Immortal Master Ye just say?”

Fu Chenxue coughed a few times and covered it up. “Nothing. She’s drunk and likes talking nonsense. You don’t need to take it to heart.”

Liu Changning pursed her lips and thought again of the familiar way Master and Ye Luofeng had spoken back and forth at the market.

Liu Changning frowned.

She felt very uncomfortable.

But even if she was unhappy inside, she would absolutely not reveal it in front of Fu Chenxue. She only said gently, “Master, I want to eat fish.”

Hearing this, Fu Chenxue picked up a piece of belly meat from the fish for her. She carefully removed all the bones before placing it into Liu Changning’s bowl. “Be careful. Don’t get a bone stuck in your throat.”

Liu Changning enjoyed the other person’s caring reminders while eating the soft, tender, juicy fish.

Fu Chenxue was used to taking care of Liu Changning. One moment she was picking up food for her, the next she was pouring tea for her. Liu Changning became somewhat embarrassed and said with a red face, “Master, I’m your disciple. This is a little improper…”

“Why fuss over those things between master and disciple?” Fu Chenxue disliked complicated etiquette the most. “You can’t see. It’s only right for your master to take care of you.”

The tail in Liu Changning’s heart was about to rise all the way to the sky, and the discomfort from earlier vanished like smoke.

She loved hearing Master speak to her like this. She even hoped Master would say more. So she lowered her head again and said self-reproachfully, “If I could see, I would be able to pick up food for Master…”

Sure enough, when Fu Chenxue saw the melancholy between her brows, she quickly patted her hand and comforted her, “It’s all right, it’s all right. Your master can do it myself. Changning having that intention is enough.”

Liu Changning said in grievance, “I’m so useless, Master.”

Fu Chenxue could only pretend the drunk Ye Luofeng did not exist. She moved Liu Changning’s chair beside her and coaxed her in a low voice, “You’re not allowed to say that. You’re very good. Once your eyes are cured, you can help your master pick up food, all right?”

Liu Changning’s personality was fragile, and because of her blindness, she had become extremely sensitive. It was only right for Fu Chenxue to coax her more. Fu Chenxue reminded herself inwardly that she did not want to leave any more shadows in Liu Changning’s heart.

Meanwhile, Liu Changning rested her forehead against Fu Chenxue’s shoulder and secretly curled her lips, but her thoughts were entirely different.

Master smells so good. She likes it so much. She wants… to take her for herself.

Liu Changning was startled by the thought that suddenly burst into her mind.

Take her for herself?

Master was not an object. How could she take her for herself…

But when she raised her head, that fair, fragrant neck was right before her eyes, terribly tempting. Liu Changning desperately suppressed the urge to bite it.

A long time ago, she had once bitten the fine, smooth skin there with her teeth. But at that time, it had been because she was afraid and timid. Now… what was this feeling?

At this moment, Ye Luofeng was still lying dizzily on the table. She raised her head and vaguely saw the master and disciple hugging each other. She could not help rubbing her brow.

Was she seeing things? What were these two doing?

The night deepened, and the wind rose. Outside, there was a brief chirping of cicadas.

Fu Chenxue felt that it was about time, so she turned her head and asked Liu Changning, “Are you full?”

Liu Changning answered obediently, “I’m full.”

Fu Chenxue glanced at Ye Luofeng, who was lying on the table, and sighed. “Changning, Immortal Master Ye is drunk. In a moment, your master will send you back first, then come back out to help Immortal Master Ye return to her room.”

Liu Changning froze slightly, then smiled again. “Immortal Master Ye has her own disciples. Master doesn’t need to worry about her. You’ve been tired all day too. You should go back and rest…”

Fu Chenxue waved her hand. “It’s already so late. Calling her disciples out one by one would be quite troublesome. Wait for your master in the room.”

Liu Changning could only agree.

Fu Chenxue brought Liu Changning back to the room, tucked the quilt around her, and stroked her soft hair. “Sleep. Master will be back in a while.”
