Why Aren’t You Cultivating Immortality? (GL) Chapter 47

The image of Bai Moqing being pressed down on the bed and bullied by Xiao Xing kept replaying in Feiyue’s mind. Feiyue was certain that if she did not sleep with them tonight, her Qingqing would be slept with by Xiao Xing.
Clutching Bai Moqing’s hand, Feiyue promised her, “Qingqing, I sleep very well. I won’t bother you.”
The bedroom door was half open, and the sound of water came from the bathroom. Bai Moqing turned and glanced over. Xiao Xing was showering. Her skin was smooth and flawless, and hot water slid over her body, making her fair skin look pink and tender. Bai Moqing swallowed, her body growing hot.
This was not the first time she had watched Xiao Xing shower. Her body had reacted before, but now that feeling was stronger and clearer. Bai Moqing knew exactly what she wanted to do. She wanted to be intimate with Xiao Xing without any distance between them.
But with the little orange cat here, they definitely could not get intimate.
Bai Moqing turned back and sternly refused Feiyue on the grounds that the bed could not fit three people.
“I can turn into a cat.” Feiyue still refused to give up. She changed back into a little orange cat and hooked Bai Moqing’s pant leg. “Look, I’m only tiny. I won’t take up much space.”
Bai Moqing bent down, picked up the little orange cat, and flashed into the cat’s bedroom. With a plop, she tossed the little orange cat onto the bed. Before the little orange cat had time to feel happy or sad, Bai Moqing instantly returned to her own bedroom, giving her no chance to cling to her.
“Aowu, Bai Moqing!” The little orange cat was so angry she scratched at the bed. Rip, rip. The new bedsheet had only just been changed, and in the blink of an eye, she had torn it open.
She was still not satisfied!
Bai Moqing stood outside the bathroom door, looking at the faint figure inside. Her heart struggled. Should she go in, or not?
Going in was too frivolous. Not going in would be unfair to her own heart.
While she hesitated, the person inside made the decision for her. Xiao Xing brushed her wet hair behind her head and called gently, “Xiao Mo.”
Her body reacted before her mind. Bai Moqing entered the bathroom. Seeing Xiao Xing looking at her with smiling eyes, her heart skipped a beat. Her feet no longer seemed to belong to her as she walked toward Xiao Xing step by step.
As she drew closer, the clothes on her body vanished piece by piece.
Steam filled the air. Xiao Xing pulled Bai Moqing into her arms, turned, and pressed her against the wall.
Cold tile, burning kisses. Bai Moqing’s body trembled. She murmured Xiao Xing’s name in a blurred voice and sank into Xiao Xing’s gentleness.
From the bathroom to the bed, Xiao Xing took Bai Moqing again and again. No matter how Bai Moqing whimpered and begged for mercy, Xiao Xing did not let her go.
Only after Bai Moqing fell asleep from exhaustion did Xiao Xing finally leave her body. The soft orange light from the wall lamp made Bai Moqing look gentle and peaceful. Xiao Xing gazed at her, stroking her lightly inch by inch, from her brows to her lips.
Xiao Mo, in the end, we are still together.
There was worry in her eyes, but more than that, there was love. She held Bai Moqing and said, “Whether in the open or in the dark, I will protect you.”
Bai Moqing, unconscious and sleeping deeply, gave her no response.
When Bai Moqing woke, it was already the next day.
She opened her eyes blearily and looked out the window. Beyond the open curtains, the sun hung high. Bai Moqing turned her head and looked around. She was the only one in bed, as if everything last night had only been a dream.
She lifted the quilt and glanced down. Under the quilt, her bare body was covered in tiny kiss marks, telling her that everything last night had truly happened. She closed her eyes, and scene after scene from last night rose before her eyes…
Wait. Today did not seem to be the weekend.
Bai Moqing stopped remembering and grabbed the phone from the nightstand. Friday!
And now, it was already ten o’clock.
This was the first time Bai Moqing had been late since starting work. Under the security guard’s shocked gaze, she entered the elevator in embarrassment.
When she passed Secretary Wen and Secretary Wang’s office, Bai Moqing felt their curious, gossiping gazes.
A barely audible voice came from inside the office. Secretary Wen quietly asked Secretary Wang, “Old Wang, do you think they slept together last night? One is late, and the other still hasn’t come in.”
The one who was late should be her. As for the other one…
Bai Moqing glanced at Secretary Wen from the corner of her eye. Could President Xiao not have come to the company yet?
Fortunately, the two secretaries were not close with her, so they would not directly ask why she was late. But Sister An was different. Sister An would definitely dig until she reached the bottom.
Looking at the office so close in front of her, Bai Moqing felt uneasy. She reached the door and was surprised to find it locked. Sister An was not there.
She sent her divine sense into the office next door. Xiao Xing was frowning at her computer, right hand on the mouse, left hand on the desk, busy with work.
Thinking back to what Secretary Wen had said, thunder exploded in Bai Moqing’s mind. So the “they” had meant her and Sister An!
There had already been rumors in the company. Although the last matter had been investigated clearly, first impressions were hard to erase. The people in the company still believed she and Sister An had some unspeakable relationship. Now this would be impossible to explain again.
She turned to look at the office across the way. Tang Yue had been looking at her since she arrived. Their gazes met, and Tang Yue smiled in greeting. Bai Moqing felt a little guilty, called out, “Assistant Tang,” then turned, opened the door, and entered the office.
She had just sat down when her phone rang. Bai Moqing looked. It was Sister An.
Calling at this moment was really too much of a coincidence.
“Xiao Bai, take the materials in the red folder on my desk to President Xiao.”
As soon as the call connected, before Bai Moqing could speak, An Huaigu’s voice came through. It was lazy and hoarse, as if she had not fully woken up. Bai Moqing glanced across the hall and asked in a voice neither loud nor soft, “Sister An, why didn’t you come to work today?”
As soon as the words “Sister An” came out, Tang Yue looked up.
After several seconds of silence, An Huaigu did not answer. Instead, she asked Bai Moqing, “Is Tang Yue at the company?”
“Mm, she is.” Why had she suddenly brought up Assistant Tang?
Bai Moqing thought Sister An had something she wanted passed on to Assistant Tang, but An Huaigu only made a soft sound of acknowledgment and hung up.
Bai Moqing brought the materials into Xiao Xing’s office. Xiao Xing raised her eyes and glanced at her. “Why did you come to work?” She opened the file. Sticky notes had been placed wherever revisions were needed, with suggested changes written on them.
“Does President Xiao mean I could have stayed away?” Bai Moqing’s sharp eyes noticed a bite mark on Xiao Xing’s neck. Judging from the shape of the teeth marks, she had bitten it herself.
Noticing Bai Moqing’s gaze on her neck, Xiao Xing remembered last night. When Bai Moqing had been overwhelmed by desire, she had bitten Xiao Xing’s neck. A sweet, bloody taste had seeped out. Bai Moqing had bitten her hard enough to draw blood.
Xiao Xing raised her eyes to Bai Moqing, covered her neck, and said, “HR does not track attendance on this floor. If I do not say anything, no one cares whether you come to the company or not.” She moved her hand away, and the bite mark on her neck was gone.
Only today did Bai Moqing learn that they did not need to clock in. She returned to the office. Looking at the empty seat, Bai Moqing felt she needed to show some concern about why Sister An had not come.
The phone rang for a long time before An Huaigu answered. When she spoke, her voice was still hoarse. It was impossible not to think in the direction of overindulgence.
As for the partner in that overindulgence, Bai Moqing glanced at Tang Yue. Eight or nine times out of ten, it was Assistant Tang. Otherwise, why would Sister An care whether Assistant Tang was at the company?
But she could not ask that directly. Bai Moqing asked tactfully, “Sister An, are you sick?”
An Huaigu fell silent again. After a long while, she admitted, “Mm. I have a fever. Xiao Bai, can you help me buy some fever medicine and anti-inflammatory medicine and bring them over?”
So it was not overindulgence. She really was sick.
Bai Moqing quickly agreed, asked for An Huaigu’s address, told Xiao Xing, and left.
Bai Moqing had been to the residential complex where An Huaigu lived once before. She remembered there was a pharmacy on the street outside the complex.
The pharmacist got the medicine for her and was ringing it up when a soft, gentle voice sounded behind Bai Moqing.
“What a coincidence. We meet again.”
Sikou Yan was wrapped in a scarf and wearing a warm mask. Her long hair fell over her shoulders, and her clothes were so ordinary they could not be more ordinary. Only a pair of eyes filled with a gentle smile were visible as she looked steadily at Bai Moqing.
Bai Moqing recognized Sikou Yan. Her heart rose and fell, but her face showed nothing. Acting as if she did not know her, she paid, took the medicine, and left. Sikou Yan followed behind her.
“You don’t recognize me anymore?”
Bai Moqing stopped and turned to look at Sikou Yan. “I do. Best Actress.” Her gaze swept around. There were no reporters and no one secretly filming. “Why are you here?”
“I live nearby.” Sikou Yan walked up to Bai Moqing and studied her eyes. Those dark eyes looked back at her calmly. She really did not recognize her.
“You don’t get excited when you see a celebrity?” Sikou Yan pulled down her mask, revealing her whole face.
Bai Moqing shook her head. “I don’t chase stars.” Thinking of Sikou Yan’s sword moves from last night, Bai Moqing was more curious about that familiar swordsmanship than about Sikou Yan herself. “Your swordsmanship last night was impressive. May I ask where you learned it?”
Sikou Yan answered, “An old friend taught me.”
Bai Moqing wanted to ask more, but Sikou Yan smiled and put her mask back on. “I should go. If I stay any longer, someone will probably recognize me.”
She left as soon as she said it. Sikou Yan crossed the road and entered the residential complex. Bai Moqing watched her back, then saw the name of the complex clearly and froze. Wasn’t this the complex where Sister An lived?
If Sister An knew she lived in the same complex as the Best Actress, who knew how excited she would get?
“What! Sikou Yan lives here!” An Huaigu’s hoarse voice cracked in surprise. She grabbed Bai Moqing’s arm. “Where does she live? I want to go hit on her!” She was so lively that she did not look like someone with a fever at all.
Bai Moqing pulled her hand back and pressed An Huaigu back onto the bed. “Sister An, rest properly. At your age, you shouldn’t chase stars anymore.”
“At my age?” An Huaigu’s face darkened. “Bai Moqing, do you not want to walk out of here alive?”
Bai Moqing smiled, poured An Huaigu a cup of hot water, and told her to rest well.
Seeing that Bai Moqing was about to leave, An Huaigu called out to her. “Xiao Bai, my younger sister isn’t here. Do you want to stay and take care of me?” She clutched the corner of the quilt, looking weak and in need of love and care.
“I can call Assistant Tang over for you.” Bai Moqing closed the bedroom door and left.
An Huaigu thought Bai Moqing had only been joking. When the doorbell rang and she opened the door to see Tang Yue, she almost wanted to rush into the kitchen and grab a cleaver.
“Assistant An, do you need a little nanny?” Tang Yue held groceries in one hand and fruit in the other. She smiled with a gentle face and lifted the groceries. “I can cook all the dishes you like.”
“I don’t have money to pay a nanny fee.” An Huaigu turned sideways and let Tang Yue enter.
Tang Yue turned her head. “No money needed.” Her gaze swept over An Huaigu nakedly, and the corner of her mouth curved up.
