Let Me Explain, Fairy

Chapter 423: Chapter 286 Bai Muxi

The words had fallen.

Li Qingyan’s red robes, majestic and dashing, suddenly had their patterns begin to flow, with a few silk-like fungal strands entwining around the Blood Divine Stone Jade Pendant.

It seemed like a check, or perhaps a casual fondling of the jade pendant’s surface.

Bai Muxi, disheveled and half-exposed, was kneeling on the ground, gazing blankly at the blood-glowing Blood Divine Stone at Li Qingyan’s fingertips.

Xu Yuan didn’t make a sound.

In a twisted "Peach Blossom Spring" like the Underground City, to prolong their race, the perverse power structure and values strictly suppressed everyone’s humanity.

The chances of producing a pure little white rabbit, untouched by dirt, might be about the same as winning the jackpot in a lottery in a previous life.

After what had just happened, Xu Yuan could imagine Bai Muxi being untruthful, but he hadn’t expected her to be dishonest to this degree.

This woman actually wanted to become a second Su Meimo?

Dark, really damn dark.

On the surface, a tender little white rabbit, but slice her open, and the inside is all black.

However, before dealing with this matter...

Xu Yuan suddenly looked back at Li Qingyan, asking with an annoyed tone,

"Seriously, what do you think I mean by this?"

The Wrapped Chest Princess wasn’t just scrutinizing Bai Muxi; she also occasionally swept a meaningful glance in his direction.

Li Qingyan chuckled,

"What, can’t I take a look at my Prince Consort?"

She paused,

Li Qingyan then shook her head with a sigh, her voice laced with amusement,

"Changtian, using external objects to control me, do you find that satisfying?"

As she spoke,

Li Qingyan’s slender, jade-like hand spread open, and beneath the wrapping of Origin Qi, the Blood Divine Stone Jade Pendant floated up to face Xu Yuan.

She bent her phoenix eyes and smiled radiantly,

"If so, then go ahead and use it."

"....."

Xu Yuan took a deep breath, grabbed the jade pendant casually, and stood up,

"If I knew the effect of this jade pendant and intended to use it on you, do you think, with my personality, I would leave it with Bai Muxi for you to discover?"

While speaking, Xu Yuan examined the Blood Divine Stone Jade Pendant before his eyes and laughed,

"I would have found a way to have Bai Muxi hand over the pendant before you drew from those Black Death Bacterial Armors and hidden it in the Sumeru Ring, so that you couldn’t detect it at all."

He truly didn’t know the Blood Divine Stone Jade Pendant had that function.

In "Cangyuan Chronicles," Bai Muxi’s plotline was supposed to be castrated; even if he cheated in the plot and forcibly killed her, she wouldn’t drop any equipment.

The reason he wanted the jade pendant was solely because he had seen something similar in the lifeless Underground Palace.

On that slumbering transcended ghost, it seemed like a way out of the deathly silent Underground Palace.

Thinking so,

Xu Yuan stepped forward, lifted his hand to pinch Li Qingyan’s delicate and smooth chin, squinting his eyes as he stared at her radiant, beautiful visage,

"Li Qingyan, I, Xu Yuan, don’t need such despicable items to discipline you."

"Tsk..."

Li Qingyan let out a laugh, casually released his hand, and licked her moist lips with the tip of her tongue,

"Tough talk. I hope, Changtian, you’re not just all talk."

The trust crisis was temporarily averted.

Xu Yuan directly threw the Blood Divine Stone Jade Pendant to Bai Muxi, who was still kneeling on the ground.

At this scene, Li Qingyan frowned slightly.

Xu Yuan immediately said to Li Qingyan:

"I have a friend who is an Enchantress Divine Physique..."

"This palace has noticed that you have quite a lot of friends."

"I’m naturally likable, can’t help it."

"Heh..."

Li Qingyan stared at Xu Yuan for a few breaths, chuckled lightly, and said, "This palace has read ancient records. For men, the Enchantress Divine Physique should be an extremely blissful experience, right?"

"Not just for men, women as well."

Xu Yuan directly retorted with the topic at hand, "If you, Qingyan, would like to experience it, I can call my friend over after we return to the capital."

"....." Li Qingyan narrowed her eyes.

"....." A thought seemed to pass through Bai Muxi’s bright eyes.

"Qingyan."

Xu Yuan cut straight to the point and said, "What I want to say is, this Jade Pendant’s control over the heart must be similar to the methods of the Enchantress Divine Physique. It can only influence one’s emotions, thereby changing another’s behavior. I believe you, Qingyan, shouldn’t be trapped by it."

Li Qingyan’s lips curled into a smile:

"Of course. Even if you used it to make this palace fall in love with Changtian, this palace wouldn’t change anything for you..."

"Alright, alright, I got it."

Xu Yuan didn’t continue with the nonsense with Li Qingyan, and turned his gaze to the purple-robed woman kneeling on the ground, holding the Blood Divine Stone Jade Pendant in her hands, his voice slightly cold:

"Actually, when I saw those high-tier bacterial armors in the secret chamber, this prince was thinking of something. Since you know that the bacterial armors can continuously merge, then you must also know that after all those bacterial armors have merged, Li Qingyan’s combat strength would be something your Underground City couldn’t resist.

"Selling bacterial armors to us is akin to selling the ghost-headed blade that beheads oneself.

"Yet even so, when I proposed to buy your stock of bacterial armors, you agreed without hesitation.

"Looking at it now, you were plotting against us from that moment, weren’t you?"

"Yes."

Unexpectedly to Xu Yuan, Bai Muxi’s answer was very crisp and simple:

"Mu Xi indeed wished to control you and the Princess through this."

"You are quite straightforward."

Xu Yuan was not angry at her directness, looking down at her from his superior position, "It seems you are already prepared to explain, aren’t you?"

Bai Muxi placed the Blood Divine Stone Jade Pendant back into the soft cleavage, while adjusting her opened garment, and said softly with her eyes lowered:

"The Princess’s bacterial armor is too low-grade, the Blood Divine Stone is not powerful enough to affect her, but since you, young master, expressed the desire for bacterial armors, Mu Xi was simply taking advantage of the situation. If successful, not only could we obtain all the resources within the Sumeru Rings of both the young master and the Princess, but we could also add a Second Grade combat power to the Underground City."

"For the Seven City Alliance, which is about to face destruction, it was a gamble worth taking, so Mu Xi placed her bet."

In the midst of her words, Bai Muxi had adjusted her clothes properly. The soft cleavage was covered by a purple scarf, her fair delicate hand resting on her chest as her voice remained gentle:

"But in fact, when you, young master, placed your finger on Mu Xi’s chest, Mu Xi had already abandoned that plan."

Xu Yuan, recalling the finger he had placed on the ample and firm Bai Muxi the day before, laughed and said:

"Is it because you thought I knew the use of the Blood Divine Stone?"

"Yes."

Bai Muxi’s eyes lowered as she nodded, "It seems to be a stroke of luck now, but at that time, Mu Xi thought that if there were precautions, it would be too risky to proceed.

"And you had also asked Mu Xi if she wanted to leave, so that plan was abandoned from that moment on."

"Well said."

Leaning casually against the cold stone wall, Li Qingyan crossed her arms, her slender jade fingers tapping her arm rhythmically as she looked sideways:

"But all this time, why haven’t you taken the initiative to explain the use of the Blood Divine Stone?"

"....."

After a moment of silence,

Bai Muxi lifted her gaze to Li Qingyan, her voice still gentle:

"Your Highness, the Princess, Mu Xi is the young master’s servant, not yours."
