Feng Feiyun you liar, didnt you say your cultivation was gone and didnt have much time left. Well, you look perfectly fine right now. Nalan Xuejian appeared in the village, wearing a green Buddhist dress that was quite elegant just like a flower. She was furious, having nearly cried her eyes out from being tricked.

Feiyun thought that he had successfully made her give up. Who would have thought that she remained so stubborn and kept on searching for him?

Looks like I have underestimated her. Feiyun thought.

He smiled and said: I met an incredible doctor who restored my cultivation. Xuejian, arent you cultivating Buddhism with Monk Jiu Rou? Why did you run off to this place?

The monk got something important to do at the capital so I snuck out. She actually believed the whole doctor saving him. Her eyes rolled around and noticed Yuer standing next to Feiyun and they started glaring like an angry little hen.

She angrily said with animosity: Feiyun, get over here.

Coming. Feiyun strolled over leisurely with both hands behind his back.

Who is that? Xuejian hugged his arm with both hands before looking at Yuer, seemingly declaring her ownership over Feiyun.

Luo Yuer also stared at Xuejian in surprise, thinking that the girl was too beautiful.

The two looked like a match made in heaven. However, she couldnt help touching her face in comparison, thinking that she wasnt inferior in any way.

Feiyun ignored the girl grabbing his arm and smiled: Let me introduce you two, this is the lord of WItch God Temple, Heavenly Witchcraft Goddess, Luo Yuer. And over there, Yuer, is Master Formless. And... this here is Nalan Xuejian, my younger sister...

Not blood-related. Nalan Xuejian emphasized since she was cautious of Yuer. The girl was very beautiful on top of having high status so she felt pressured. [1]

Meanwhile, Formless sat by the creek and showed no emotion, seemingly meditating.

Nice to meet you, Master Nalan. Yuer politely performed a courteous gesture.

Feiyuns brows slightly furrowed. It was fine for Yuer to call Xuejian Master because the latter was wearing a Buddhist robe. However, it sounded as if Yuer had some playful animosity behind her words too, as if reminding Xuejian that she was a Buddhist and shouldnt be too close with Feiyun.

But why? This was their first meeting and Yuer always had a friendly temper and should get along with Xuejian. Maybe Xuejian gave her a bad impression earlier?

Xuejian was a carefree girl but womanly intuition told her that Yuer definitely had some ideas towards Feng Feiyun or Feiyun had some feelings for Yuer. She specifically searched for Feiyun in order to stop him from mingling with other girls, so how could she be happy right now?

I heard the Heavenly Witchcraft Goddess is extremely pure and will never like men, isnt that true? Xuejian smiled deviously.

Yes. Yuer nodded and responded quietly while gritting her teeth.

I feel familiarity at first sight and want to be your friend. Can we talk in private? Xuejian heaved a sigh of relief but her hostility didnt stop there.

Feng Feiyun knew that this girl was up to no good and wanted to say something but Yuer had already agreed.

This surprised him. He started thinking that Yuer isnt that timid either and is taking Nalan Xuejian on, albeit in a low-key manner.

Nalan Xuejian and Luo Yuer walked to the other side of the village and disappeared from sight. Feng Feiyun and Formless found a stone table and sat down.

Formless told him the current situation right now. It turned out that everyone knows about the match between him and the young lord. Thats the reason why he and Xuejian came here to find him.

The girl must be giving you quite a headache and halting your cultivation. Feng Feiyun said.

Formless, pure as a lotus, smiled and said: Miss Nalan is vivacious, innocent, kind-hearted, on top of being deeply in love with you. Do you know what she kept repeating along the way?

Feiyun smiled and didnt answer.

Formless copied Xuejians tone: Feng Feiyun must be flirting everywhere, that guy wont change even if someone puts a blade on his neck, leaving romantic debts everywhere, and thats why I need to put a leash on him.

Feiyun laughed loudly at her cute naiveness.

Thank you for escorting her through the long journey so I must show my gratitude. However, giving you spirit stones or things of that nature is too vulgar. If only we have wine here... Feiyun smiled.

Formless expression actually changed after hearing this due to his low alcohol tolerance. He placed his palms together and chanted: Amitabha.

A young boy nearby heard Feiyun and came over, whispering mysteriously: Big Bro, if you want to drink, you can go to the chiefs cellar, its really big and has been around even before our tribe. I went in there with my two friends, so dark inside but it was huge with a bunch of fruit wines. We didnt get that far though because its too cold and scary. Matches wouldnt even light.

Feiyun and Formless exchanged glances before following the boy.

***

Nalan Xuejian walked towards a remote spot in the forest with Yuer behind her. This place was filled with tall trees filled with luxuriant leaves. Vines as thick as water bucket coiled around them, looking just like flood dragons.

Xuejian stopped and turned back to look at Yuer. This was an extremely beautiful girl dressed in a silver robe. Tall and slender with two towering peaks. She had a good aura too but most importantly, she was half-a-head taller than Xuejian.

Yuer stared at her too. This girl was very close to Feiyun. She had a great figure and a style straight out of a painting. Her eyes were especially bright but most importantly, the girl had whiter and seemingly softer skin.

The two carefully compared each other.

Whats your relation with Feiyun? Xuejian was the first to break the silence.

Mmm... hes very kind towards me, protecting me and even wanting to avenge my grandpa. Yuer didnt know why she was telling Xuejian this. However, speaking these words made her feel quite good and happy.

Hes lying to you, thats who he is, a swindler specializing in tricking innocent girls like you. You dont know his past, hes a spoiled young master who harassed girls in broad daylight, so dont fall for his lies. Hes only nice to you because youre pretty and gullible. Xuejians fire intensified after hearing this.

Why are you so rude? You are beautiful but very hypocritical. How can you talk behind his back like this? Hell be so sad if he were to find out. Yuer slightly grimaced.

... Xuejian had no response and almost fainted from anger.

And as for his past, I know him even more than you. He did bad things back then but hes different now, having done plenty of good deeds and helping me several times. Hell definitely stay true to his words and help me get revenge. Yuer went on.

She knows more about Feiyun? Xuejian wanted to pull her own hair out while thinking: Its over for this girl, Feiyun got her good now so its useless trying to persuade her. I must save her from the tigers den, I cant allow that liar to destroy her purity.

Nalan Xuejian didnt know that she herself had fallen for Feiyun the most out of anyone. She wanted to save others from the tiger while wanting to be eaten by it.

Fine! I have a different method since youre so stubborn. Xuejian held her buddhist beads and emitted a pure Buddhist aura.

A bright lotus appeared beneath her; chants could faintly be heard. Behind her was a bright expanse of Buddhist light. She challenged: Youre the Heavenly Witchcraft Goddess, right?! Im sure youre strong then, why dont we have a match?

I see no reason to. Yuer had a strong cultivation along while being skilled in witchcraft. Alas, she has never been in a fight before.

The winner will get Feiyun and get to make rice with him, the loser will leave and never show up again! Nalan Xuejians hair fluttered as she stood on the lotus with her chest arched forward while staring straight at Yuer. [2]

... Yuer blushed after hearing that phrase.

Do you dare? Xuejian didnt really know the meaning of the phrase. However, she had a general idea - after she finished cooking the rice, Feng Feiyun will be hers. She must win this match at all cost to chase Luo Yuer away. [3]

1. Feiyun said mei mei, which is younger sister but can also be any younger girl, its ambiguous

2. Its an idiom. Literal: the raw rice is now cooked. It means that once a couple has sex, its too late for anyone - such as their parents - to stop them now. Might as well let them get married. So Xuejian is using it here to say that the winner will get Feiyun completely

3. Okay, so Nalan Xuejian herself doesnt know the actual sexual implication behind the phrase, she thinks it is just cooking the rice? I dont know, well see where the author goes with this
