Spectating the Angsty Romance of the Master and Disciple from the Sect Next Door Chapter 75

After a long time, their lips parted.
Li Jin’an, her brows and eyes filled with satisfaction, leisurely admired the grand sight before her.
Immortal Venerable Qingxiao had always been the most proper person. The Dao Sect elders’ standard robes appeared even more meticulous on her than on others, with the collar pulled to the very top. She rarely showed drastic emotional fluctuations. But now, her collar was disheveled, revealing a corner of her fair collarbone. Her face was slightly flushed, her eyes sparkling, her lips rosy, and she was lightly panting to calm her breathing.
It was clear that Jijin Sword Sovereign had used her full cultivation to kiss her.
Xie Huaixue raised her eyes, her clear, bright gaze sweeping across Li Jin’an’s face.
Li Jin’an’s throat bobbed. She knew Xie Huaixue was displeased that she had kissed too hard and for too long, but seeing Xie Huaixue look at her like that, she wanted to kiss her again.
What was going on? Was she going to turn into a lustful fiend in the future?
She glanced at the person before her again, and sure enough, gave up on thinking about the problem, slowly leaning her head closer.
The next second, her sneaky head was blocked by Xie Huaixue, whose fingertips pressed against Li Jin’an’s forehead, allowing no further progress.
Xie Huaixue said softly, “Behave yourself.”
Now, Xie Huaixue’s voice carried a slight, husky breath. Though her tone was normally extremely clear and cold, speaking words that sounded like scolding a disciple, this breathy quality inexplicably made her sound more seductive.
Li Jin’an grumbled discontentedly, rubbing her face messily against Xie Huaixue’s cheek, ear, and neck, seizing the opportunity to kiss her repeatedly, assuaging the endless yearning in her heart.
Xie Huaixue’s freshly tidied collar and cuffs were ruffled again by Li Jin’an. Unable to push her away, she could only let Li Jin’an nuzzle her, like a large cat recognizing its owner, sniffing its master’s scent.
A moment later.
“…Don’t bite my ear.” Xie Huaixue’s tone was utterly helpless.
She had known before that Li Jin’an had a habit of not being able to handle praise. When did she pick up a habit of biting people?
Li Jin’an looked at Xie Huaixue with an innocent expression. “Oh, I was just trying to see what it tasted like.”
She now felt as if she had returned to the age when she was losing her baby teeth, full of an immense desire to explore everything in the world, her teeth itching, wanting to bite and gnaw on Xie Huaixue.
“…What could it possibly taste like?”
“Sweet!” Li Jin’an answered without hesitation. She continued, her voice full of lingering delight, “Sweet and soft, like a cloud covered in sugar frosting. No, that description isn’t quite accurate. I need to kiss you again to tell you the true feeling.”
Xie Huaixue didn’t want to lose composure twice in such a short time. She took a few steps back, her eyes warily watching Li Jin’an. Only when she saw the other person standing obediently in place did she feel relieved enough to straighten her wrinkled clothes.
Her bottom line for Li Jin’an was too low; one could even say she had no bottom line or principles. As long as Li Jin’an looked at her with those wet, phoenix-like eyes, she could only soberly and helplessly agree to any of Li Jin’an’s unreasonable requests.
If Li Jin’an were to lean closer at that moment, Xie Huaixue would likely find her clothes disheveled once more.
Li Jin’an’s gaze followed Xie Huaixue closely. The reason she didn’t chase after her was that she was still savoring the moment, secretly giving herself a huge thumbs-up in her heart.
As expected of you, Li Jin’an. You’re simply too good at kissing. Among a group of solitary sword cultivators, you’re truly top-notch.
This finally erased the embarrassing dark history of blowing herself away the last time she kissed Xie Huaixue in the illusion realm.
It was a joke! To avoid embarrassing herself again, she had made ample preparations beforehand, almost wearing out Tan Yanyi’s privately collected storybooks.
Having kissed to her heart’s content, Li Jin’an suddenly remembered something. She furtively glanced around, releasing her divine sense to probe in all directions. Still feeling uneasy, she intensified her search, wishing she could plow the entire mountain range over and over again, just in case some ill-mannered elder was nearby watching juniors kiss.
She had no hobby of performing for elders or making out with her cultivation partner.
If she discovered any elder present, however passionately and enjoyably she had just kissed, she would now be just as distraught. She would go berserk endlessly throughout the Dao Sect.
Xie Huaixue walked over, softly comforting her. “No one came. The Dao Lord’s divine thought followed us out of the Dao Sect, but I discovered it and withdrew it.”
Li Jin’an’s mouth twitched. She wasn’t surprised at all.
“Wait, then why didn’t I notice the Dao Lord’s divine thought?” Without waiting for Xie Huaixue to answer, she replied to herself, “Oh, I was quite nervous at the time. Even if the Dao Lord walked past me openly, I might not have recognized her.”
“Can’t that old Dao Lord be more serious?!”
Xie Huaixue had discovered it. If she hadn’t, wouldn’t the Dao Lord have trailed them all the way to Three Realms Mountain?!
Li Jin’an’s expression was natural as she spoke to herself, “While the Dao Lord isn’t here, let’s kiss a few more times, so we won’t miss it when we go back.”
Xie Huaixue was speechless, truly unable to understand how the topic had turned back to this. “You…”
Before she could finish her words, they were entirely blocked by the person who had stealthily leaned in.
Li Jin’an had developed a kissing method unique to her. First, she would capture Xie Huaixue’s lips, biting and licking them, slowly grinding them. Then, without giving Xie Huaixue time to react, she would fiercely kiss her with lightning speed, going from outside to in, breaking past her lips and completely dominating the kiss. If Xie Huaixue pulled back or looked elsewhere, it would only provoke a more intense counterattack from Li Jin’an.
As smacking sounds filled the air, the tips of both their ears turned redder than the other.
Although Li Jin’an was shy, it didn’t stop her from continuing to kiss. After kissing, she would still cling to Xie Huaixue, showering her with affection and running her sharp teeth back and forth across Xie Huaixue’s collarbone.
After twelve hundred years, Jijin Sword Sovereign had finally entered her teething phase, needing something to soothe her.
It was hard to say if she realized her teeth were itching after kissing Xie Huaixue, or if her teeth were itching first and she then wanted to kiss Xie Huaixue to grind them.
One or two kisses weren’t enough. Even as the sun set, Li Jin’an’s lips remained pressed against Xie Huaixue’s. If she didn’t get to kiss, she would whimper and whine.
During a break for breath, Li Jin’an licked her plump, lustrous lips and said thoughtfully, “I used to love fighting you, and I still do. It’s just ‘mouth fighting’ now.”
It’s all fighting, so what difference does it make how we fight?
These words made Xie Huaixue’s face flush. Her usually indifferent eyes closed and then reopened, filled with utter helplessness. She sighed softly, “You scoundrel.”
The scoundrel immediately claimed the title, the curve of her lips nearly reaching the sky. As she lowered her head, her phoenix eyes narrowed. She took a deep, sharp breath of the cold night mountain air, finally suppressing the surge of exhilaration in her heart.
Excuse me, but to Jijin Sword Sovereign, the three words “you scoundrel” spoken by Immortal Venerable Qingxiao held no deterrent power whatsoever; they were practically an invitation to flirt.
The moon hung above the willow branches.
Li Jin’an sat pressed against Xie Huaixue on the branch of a towering ancient tree, preparing to watch tomorrow’s sunrise. After all, it wasn’t easy to come to Three Realms Mountain; just kissing wasn’t enough.
“Oh, right, you still haven’t told me when you realized your feelings for me?” Li Jin’an sat upright, though it would have been better if she hadn’t occasionally picked up Xie Huaixue’s hand and kissed it with cherished affection.
“The disciple admission ceremony, when my cold poison flared up,” Xie Huaixue stated the time plainly, her clear gaze resting on the tips of Li Jin’an’s hair. Her tone softened, carrying a hint of a smile. “The moment you woke me from unconsciousness by pinching me, and I looked at you.”
Li Jin’an instantly recalled the scene from that day. She had been furious because of the accursed Heavenly Tome, rushing to verify if Xie Huaixue was truly afflicted with cold poison. Indeed, she found Xie Huaixue unconscious in the cold pond behind Qingxiao Peak, reluctantly picking her up…
Recalling it now, in such a short time, she could no longer empathize with her past self.
Didn’t she know how hard it was for sword cultivators outside to find a compatible cultivation partner? How could she bear to be so harsh to such a soft Xie Huaixue?!
“I was harsh and bullied you, yet you still liked me. You’re so good to me.” Li Jin’an leaned on Xie Huaixue’s shoulder, her brows and eyes taking on a radiant expression. She looked up and said earnestly, “To repay you, why don’t you kiss me?”
To reward herself, the dignified Jijin Sword Sovereign was clearly resorting to any means necessary.
Xie Huaixue chuckled, lowering her gaze to place a kiss on Li Jin’an’s forehead.
Li Jin’an hadn’t even begun to blush or feel shy when she was completely stunned by Xie Huaixue’s next words.
“You didn’t really bully or treat me harshly. For a very long time, I often looked forward to you coming to find me. You weren’t wrong when you said I was reclusive and closed off; I truly was too cold and distant. So, the moment I woke up from the cold poison and saw your smiling face, my heart was truly filled with joy. In that instant, I clearly understood that I had developed feelings of love for you.”
“As for you making me peel spirit fruits, monopolizing my master, roasting and eating spiritual plants, and seeking me out for fights…” Xie Huaixue smiled faintly and said softly, “None of those counted as bullying to me, because your eyes always showed that if I refused you, you would never be friends with me again, and I couldn’t bear that.”
“However, there’s no need to regret why we only now understand each other’s feelings. All those past times count. No matter what kind of Li Jin’an you were, I… cherished you.”
Even while dissecting her heart and confessing her feelings, Xie Huaixue’s tone was unhurried and calm, gently offering her true feelings to Li Jin’an.
Unbeknownst to Li Jin’an, warm tears streamed down her face. Her heart ached fiercely. Through the watery blur, she looked at Xie Huaixue hazily.
She didn’t know if she was crying because she pitied Xie Huaixue, or because of Xie Huaixue’s long and profound love. She only knew her heart ached terribly.
Xie Huaixue raised a hand to gently wipe away her tears, smiling sweetly and sighing, “All the tears you shed in this life are because of me. Qingxiao Immortal Venerable has no way to repay you, so I can only offer myself to you.”
Li Jin’an’s first tears were shed when Chixin Sword Lord wouldn’t let her gnaw on the milky-sweet Xie Huaixue, the tiny infant crying loudly before even opening her eyes. In her youth, she would get so frustrated crying when she couldn’t defeat Xie Huaixue, walking sideways like a little crab while wiping away her tears. Now, tears streamed down relentlessly, impossible to stop.
Despite being a fire spiritual root cultivator, she now seemed to be made of water, her eyes brimming with tears. She wished she could cry out all the pain Xie Huaixue had hidden away in the long river of time, showing no hint of the dominating cultivation partner she had been on the mountain peak earlier that day.
The more Xie Huaixue spoke, the more Li Jin’an cried. She simply couldn’t be consoled. Having no other choice, Xie Huaixue pulled her into a hug and gently helped her calm her breathing.
“Don’t cry, don’t cry. Sister will kiss you.”
Xie Huaixue meticulously kissed away the tears on her face.
“Kiss me again.”
Li Jin’an whimpered, not forgetting to demand benefits even while crying. Thankfully, she now finally remembered to mind her image, afraid of getting snot bubbles in front of her cultivation partner. She slowly stemmed her tears, her beautiful red eyes looking at Xie Huaixue with a wronged expression.
She looked even more like a large cat that had been wronged.
Xie Huaixue kissed the corner of Li Jin’an’s eye.
