After Transmigrating, the Female Lead Went Dark (GL) - Chapter 19
With the Cult Leader acting spoiled like this, Xiao Xinyue’s taut nerves relaxed again. Although she still kept a stern face, her gaze softened somewhat.
The Cult Leader discovered that the female lead seemed very susceptible to this tactic.
She remembered a saying that physical contact could quickly bring people closer and shorten the emotional distance between them. So as long as the female lead did not dislike her, clinging to the female lead like this was also a way of bringing their relationship closer!
Perhaps because Zhou Zhuying’s hair brushed against her neck and made it itch, Xiao Xinyue raised her hand, pressed down on her head, and pushed her away a little. “Be careful someone hears you and says you are using demonic words to mislead the masses.”
“How can this be called demonic words to mislead the masses? This is called genuine feelings from the heart!”
“You are the Demon Sect Leader. In their eyes, your every word and action carries a purpose and ill intent.”
The Cult Leader muttered unhappily, “So being born from the Demon Sect is the original sin, huh!”
She suddenly noticed something. “They? Sister Saintess, you don’t think that way?”
How rare. Wasn’t the female lead the one who hated her the most? Or could it be that the massacre of the female lead’s family had nothing to do with her, the Cult Leader? Or perhaps she really was not the Cult Leader?
Thinking this, she seemed to become even more fearless. She was not the Cult Leader, only a tool the female lead was using to subdue the Demon Sect remnants. What was there for her to fear?!
Xiao Xinyue did not answer. She only nudged Zhou Zhuying’s body away a bit more. “If you are fine now, then come back with me. Although this place is quiet, people may still come here.”
Zhou Zhuying readily let go of her, but she still lightly tugged at the clothes at Xiao Xinyue’s waist. Like a shy young maiden waiting to be married, she asked curiously, “Sister Saintess, how are we going to get married? Will there be the three letters and six rites? Who will act as matchmaker? How many banquet tables will there be? Will you wear the phoenix crown, or will I wear the phoenix crown?”
After all, in all her life, this was her first time getting married, and it was also a same-sex marriage. This kind of wedding experience was very novel, so once she started asking about it, she chattered endlessly.
Xiao Xinyue asked in return, “I am the one marrying you. Who do you think wears the phoenix crown?”
Zhou Zhuying compromised. “Fine, I’ll wear it. But will there be an eight-bearer sedan chair?”
Xiao Xinyue glanced at her. “You want an eight-bearer sedan chair?”
“Of course. Sister Saintess promised me before. On the first day we met. Sister Saintess had better not go back on your word.”
Xiao Xinyue’s lips curved with a smile, and she gave her a sidelong glance. “So the Cult Leader had already decided she wanted to marry me from that time?”
Zhou Zhuying clicked her tongue. What was the female lead being narcissistic about?
The first time they met, who was the one who came up and princess-carried someone first?
But who made her the female lead? Zhou Zhuying would let her be narcissistic for a moment!
As they discussed wedding matters, they returned to the courtyard. They did not run into anyone on the way. Without realizing it, Zhou Zhuying’s hand moved from tugging Xiao Xinyue’s sleeve to holding her hand.
Only when Zhou Zhuying was about to return to her room did she realize that she and the female lead had their fingers interlocked. Her heart lifted slightly. Could it be that she was too thirsty and had unknowingly stretched out her wolf claws toward the female lead like a hungry wolf?!
This kind of thing was absolutely not her style. She was very reserved!
“Sister Saintess, is my hand soft?” Zhou Zhuying asked.
Xiao Xinyue chuckled and let go of her hand. “Not soft.”
Zhou Zhuying was displeased and pouted. “Yours isn’t soft either. There are calluses.”
The smile on Xiao Xinyue’s lips drooped slightly.
Seeing that she had stirred up trouble again, Zhou “Firefighter” Cult Leader, as an expert at putting out fires, hurriedly tried to make up for it. “But it gives people a great sense of security. Because you have calluses, it means Sister Saintess diligently practices martial arts, has powerful skills, and can protect people.”
Xiao Xinyue looked at her with a faint smile. “The Cult Leader’s ability to flatter is becoming better and better.”
“If Sister Saintess thinks I am flattering you, then you must not yet have seen clearly this sincere heart of mine.”
Xiao Xinyue’s gaze fell on her chest. A moment later, the tip of her index finger pressed against Zhou Zhuying’s heart, and she asked ambiguously, “How does the Cult Leader plan to let me see clearly that sincere heart of yours?”
Zhou Zhuying howled inwardly: “Awooo, is the female lead teasing me? Sob sob sob, straight women really know how to flirt!”
“All right. I know your heart is not completely prepared yet, and you need some time to digest it. Take your time and think.”
After Xiao Xinyue finished speaking, she went straight back to her room, leaving Zhou Zhuying alone, clinging to the doorframe and gnashing her teeth. Every time the female lead teased her, she ran away afterward. As expected, did a tool person not deserve love?
Next time the female lead teased her like this again, she would not be the Demon Sect Leader if she did not make a move!
Carrying this resentment, Zhou Zhuying discovered that after she fell asleep, she really did dream of Xiao Xinyue. Moreover, as if taking revenge on Xiao Xinyue for always teasing and running away, in the dream, Zhou Zhuying bullied Xiao Xinyue with all her might.
The scene in the dream was once extremely erotic, making it so that even after she woke up, she still felt somewhat unsatisfied.
However, after distinguishing between dream and reality, her sense of disappointment doubled. She could not help hugging her pillow, clamping the quilt between her legs, and rolling around on the bed.
What a sin. Xiao Xinyue had previously told her to think about someone day and night, and perhaps that person would come into her dreams to keep her company so she would not have nightmares. Unexpectedly, she had not deliberately thought of Xiao Xinyue, yet Xiao Xinyue still entered her dream to accompany her—and in this kind of way!
The female lead was such a good person. How could Zhou Zhuying bear to blaspheme the female lead like that in a dream?
“Sinful, sinful.” The Cult Leader repented, reflected, then lay back down on the bed and pulled the quilt over her head, hoping she could dream of a little continuation. Otherwise, that dream would have been wasted.
Unfortunately, when she went back to sleep, she slept all the way until broad daylight and dreamed of nothing. Not only that, even the previous spring dream showed signs of leaving no trace. Everything had become hazy and indistinct, leaving behind only the feeling that “she had had an erotic dream.”
A female disciple of Moshan Sect came to deliver breakfast to her again. Zhou Zhuying looked outside for a while, somewhat disappointed. “Where is Sister Saintess?”
Although the female disciple had already gotten used to her asking about the Saintess’s whereabouts every day, after thinking of some rumors she had recently heard, her attitude toward the Cult Leader became much colder. She said, “The Saintess is busy!”
“Oh.” Zhou Zhuying did not mind and heartlessly began eating breakfast.
Seeing this, the female disciple felt somewhat uncomfortable and asked, “The Saintess is busy all day because of your matters. Why don’t you show some concern for the Saintess?”
Zhou Zhuying found her baffling. “Didn’t I just show concern for her?”
“You only asked where the Saintess went. You didn’t ask whether she ate breakfast. Asking casually like that counts as concern?”
“She is your Moshan Sect’s Saintess. Are you telling me you people would stop her from eating breakfast?” Zhou Zhuying felt the female disciple’s logic was moving in its absurdity.
The female disciple choked and muttered, “The Saintess is truly unfortunate to have to marry someone like this! There are so many young talents in the martial world and within the sect, and many people care about her too, yet for the sake of the greater good, she can only choose a Demon Sect Leader who does not care about her at all!”
Cult Leader: “…”
This was only one step away from holding a loudspeaker to her ear and shouting. Was she speaking so loudly because she was afraid Zhou Zhuying could not hear?
Moreover, the female disciple herself had said that the female lead was marrying her for the sake of the greater good. Since they were already talking about benefits, still wanting Zhou Zhuying to put in feelings and care about the female lead was somewhat pushing one’s luck and not knowing what was good for them.
Besides, if she wanted to care about the female lead, that care had to come from the heart. If others forced and demanded it of her, she would develop a rebellious mentality and deliberately do the opposite instead!
“So what you mean is that your Sister Saintess marrying me is like sticking a fresh flower into cow dung. But why don’t you think about it? It is because you all hope that the fresh flower will grow strong and become an unparalleled famous flower praised by all, so you need cow dung to fertilize it. When you forced the fresh flower to be stuck into cow dung, did you ask for the opinions of the fresh flower and the cow dung? The fresh flower and the cow dung are both willing, yet now you start despising the cow dung. You haven’t even crossed the river yet, and you already want to tear down the bridge?”
The female disciple was so angry that her fury surged upward. Her expression was ashamed and indignant. If not for still knowing proper limits, she would probably have drawn her saber and made the Cult Leader’s blood splash three feet high.
She lowered her head and explained, “That was not what I meant.”
“I understand too. After all, the Saintess is sacred and inviolable to you all.”
Learning that the goddess in their hearts was suddenly going to marry a Demon Sect Leader was unbearable for any fan. This was just like when a currently popular young actor suddenly announced marriage news, saying he was going to marry a notorious female celebrity. If that popular actor’s fans did not blow up the female celebrity’s house, that could already be considered rational.
The female disciple was slightly surprised. She felt that the Cult Leader was rather magnanimous and had not held a grudge against her.
Zhou Zhuying indeed did not take the female disciple’s words to heart. After all, she was about to marry the female lead. In the future, she would be able to openly take advantage of the female lead, display affection in front of these people, and make them envious and jealous. Would that not be delightful?
On the Cult Leader’s side, she made up her mind that once Xiao Xinyue returned, she would discuss with her how the two of them should become a “model wife-wife couple” in the martial world.
On the other side, Xiao Xinyue had also truthfully informed the sect masters of the various sects about her plan. Then, as expected, she met unanimous opposition.
