Chapter 52 First Encounter (Part 2)

  "You monsters, get out of here quickly!" Song Ning's eyes rose, and the pressure of the late foundation-building period pressed down on the group of golden-haired mice, pinning them to the ground. Then he relaxed, and the golden-haired mice took advantage of the momentum to scramble up and flee.

  King Bin and the others, already exhausted, were stunned for a moment. When they came to their senses, even the half-dead golden-haired mouse had escaped without a trace. This made them inwardly lament that a stroke of good fortune had slipped away from under their noses. However, they didn't dare complain to Song Ning, only blaming themselves for being slow. Fortunately, there were dozens of dead golden-haired mice on the ground, which was more than enough to complete their task for the sect.

  "Thank you, Master Song!" The crowd, covered in wounds, thanked Song Ning one after another. Upon learning that the other person was Huang Luoxue, the legendary number one beauty of Tianxuan, everyone's eyes lit up with excitement and they stepped forward to introduce themselves, also paying their respects.

  But amidst the joy of everyone, only Huang Luo Yi was out of place. She had multiple injuries on her body, her clothes were tattered, and there was still fresh blood dripping from her face, but she didn't care at all, her mind was a mess.

  Why? Why did she work so hard on all of this, yet nothing changed? No, something did change - the relationship between the female lead and the male supporting character Song Ning became closer!

  Huang Luo Yi remembered what was written in the article:

  The female lead, Luo Xue, was ordered by Qingxuan Laozu to move out of the back mountain and followed the sect leader Liu Changqing to cultivate on the main peak. Liu Changqing settled her in the main peak and introduced her to the disciples under his door, except for the eldest disciple Song Ning who had not yet become acquainted with her as he was still in the trial forest.

  It was night, and Luo Xue took her pet Xiao Shui (water spirit snake) to the main peak's Qingxuan Pool to play in the water. Unexpectedly, she got splashed by the mischievous Xiao Shui, getting her clothes wet. Luo Xue suddenly felt playful, took off her outer garments, and stepped into the pool with Xiao Shui to frolic together.

  At this time, Song Ning had just returned to the main peak and habitually walked towards Qingxuan Pond, preparing to wash away the dust and fatigue accumulated in the Cloud Sky Trial Forest for half a month.

  Under the bright moonlight, her absolutely beautiful face reflected a faint lunar glow. Her smiling expression was so captivating that even the fish in the water sank to the bottom of the pool. With her entire body wet and her curves fully exposed, the beauty of this young woman was subtly revealed under her thin white clothes.

  Song Ning was attracted by the woman in the Moonlit Pool, all his attention was drawn to her, his heart beating rapidly, and for a moment he was infatuated and forgot everything.

  "Who is it!" Luo Xue's voice was low and husky, her entire body sinking into the water. She hadn't expected anyone to come here in the middle of the night.

  Startled awake, he was at a loss, and conditioned reflexively replied: "I am Song Ning, a disciple under Liu Zhangmen."

  As soon as the words came out, Song Ning realized that he had made a fatal mistake. He should have flown away immediately or turned around to apologize, but at this time, he actually answered the girl's question in a polite and courteous manner, obediently reporting his name.

  Song Ning, extremely anxious, hastily turned his back, and in a moment of haste, was tripped by a small stone on the ground and fell to the ground with a thud. He had already forgotten that he was a monk, and scrambled to get up, but before he could speak, he heard a splash of water and saw Luo Xue take advantage of the opportunity to roll up her outer garment and flee far away.

  Song Ning turned her head and saw a figure in white clothes disappear instantly. The words "I'm sorry" were left on the tip of her tongue, feeling extremely awkward.

  At this time, Luo Xue was filled with shame and anger. This person had been secretly peeking at her like a thief, and after being discovered, not only did he not apologize, but instead proudly reported his name and background. Was she supposed to let him off just because he was the sect leader's disciple?

  However, as the sect leader's disciple, she couldn't really do anything to him. After all, her master would be going into seclusion soon and didn't want to leave her alone in the back mountain, becoming even more reclusive. Her master had instructed her to get along with the sect leader's disciple, and she truly couldn't afford to offend this nominal senior brother of hers. Besides, such matters couldn't be spoken aloud, so she could only avoid him from afar in the future!

  On the second day, early in the morning, Liu Zhuangmen asked Song Ning to take Luo Xue to try out the Lin trial, but was refused by Luo Xue without hesitation, saying that she wanted to get familiar with the sect for a few more days before doing so.

  Afterwards, Luo Xue remained cold and distant towards Song Ning, who wanted to apologize but couldn't find an opportunity to be alone with her.

  Ten days later, Luo Xue came alone to the Cloud Sky Trial Forest and gained the Treasure Hunting Mouse and the Five-Colored Golden Lotus.

  After Luo Xue found her destined male lead Du Xuan, Song Ning had even less chance.

  Huang Luo Yi's fingertips cracked open his palm, fresh blood dripping down and staining the white fur of the Jin Mao mouse at his feet red.

  She can't understand why things have become like this!

  Recently, she had a lot of contact with Song Ning. Although he didn't seem to have feelings for her, compared to other female cultivators, Song Ning was quite good to her. He even took her to visit the main peak. When they passed by Qingxuan Pool, she jokingly asked him if beautiful women would appear bathing at night. At that time, his face stiffened, and it seemed he had thought of something.

  She secretly rejoiced and became vigilant, thinking that Song Ning might not have the chance to see Luo Xue, the female lead who was bathing here, and naturally would not fall in love at first sight. Hmph, men are all animals that think with their lower body, seeing a half-naked woman and getting infatuated. Otherwise, there were many female cultivators in Tianxuan Sect who were as beautiful as Huang Luoxue, but Song Ning didn't even give them a second glance, so why did he fall deeply in love with Huang Luoxue? It was clear that on the day they first met, Song Ning, who knew nothing about romance, was captivated by her beauty under the moonlight and fell deeply into it, unable to extricate himself.

  Did you ask her if Huang Luo Yi ever thought of having a bathing scene too?

  She had thought about it, of course! But did you think that Song Ning, who could become the Great Master of Tian Xuan Sect, was a fool? If not for the right timing and circumstances, how could she have fooled the normally calm and wise Song Ning? She could let go and take off her clothes without caring, but this would only make Song Ning disgusted. So, she thought of a plan to make Song Ning miss that night under the moonlight.

  You asked her why she was so resentful of Song Ning's love for the female lead Luo Xue, it's because in the book, Song Ning is an important accomplice to Huang Luo Yi's death. If not for his and male lead Du Xuan's help, the female lead Luo Xue would never have been able to defeat Huang Luo Yi, and the ending might have had to be rewritten.

  At this time, looking at Song Ning's expression, it is clear that he still has feelings for Huang Luoxue; while Huang Luoxue does not have the same feelings for Song Ning, but there is no trace of disgust on her face, it can be seen that nothing awkward happened between them.

  It seems she was right at the beginning but wrong in the end; all her calculations were for nothing!

  She didn't know that the leader, Liu Changqing, for some reason, did not recall Song Ning yesterday, so Song Ning naturally couldn't meet the female lead at night. At today's early encounter, Song Ning had been polite throughout, and the female lead wouldn't unreasonably dislike him, instead she went with Song Ning to the Cloud Sky Trial Forest, where they ran into the female supporting character Huang Luo Yi, who wanted to seize the opportunity ahead of time.

  Huang Luo regretted not being more careful from the start, secretly blaming himself for making an unnecessary move earlier, which had actually led Huang Luosnow to arrive at the Strange Rock Forest ahead of time. It was truly a case of lifting a rock only to drop it on one's own foot, utterly foolish!
