Quick Transmigration: Irresistible Beauty
Chapter 345 - 345: Blackened Junior Sister (50)

Hai Bing Tu appeared to be one with the birds, the beasts, the insects, and the flowing springs in the mountains. Every step of the dance depicted the nature of life: sorrow and joy, dark and light, black and white, yin and yang. Everything is in equilibrium. Everything is kept in balance.

…

"Damn, this Yue Ran," Qing Xi yelled frustratedly inside her head. "Where has she run off to?!"

Qing Xi had been following Jiang Wen Xiu, Cheng Mo, and the others to search around the Central Plains for two days. Following the most recent information regarding Yue Ran, Qing Xi and the sizable group rushed straight to the gambling house, the Diamond Dreams Casino, in order to arrest Yue Ran, but, once again, they were unsuccessful. As of now, Qing Xi and the group had been chasing after Long Yuan for a whole night, but there were signs that they were about to lose his trail any moment now.

Qing Xi was angry—so, so angry—yet she had to continue to chase after Long Yuan and hopefully apprehend Yue Ran on the way too. Not to mention that Qing Xi had to swallow her rage and must refrain from exhibiting it out, or else the gentle and heart-warming character would amount to nothing. Since the young woman was not able to express her frustrations, she could only vent them to the system in her heart.

The system: "The plot had advanced. The female lead, Yue Ran, has already met Shu Yue."

Qing Xi was taken aback at the notification, and her bottom lips unknowingly dropped open.

Qing Xi: "What did you say?!"

The system: "I said that the plot had advanced. The female lead, Yue Ran, has already met Shu Yue."

The system calmly repeated its words. If its data had permitted it to roll its eyes, it would have done so without a doubt. Sadly, it was only made out of data and had no physical body.

Qing Xi: "How is that possible?! Do you know what you are talking about?!"

Qing Xi froze in shock, her beautiful eyes widened, full of doubts. She could hardly control her emotions for a moment, and stopped where she was.

"Xi Xi, what are you talking about?" Jiang Wen Xiu inquired gently and worriedly.

Qing Xi, the cute and delicate junior sister, was all Jiang Wen Xiu could see in his peripheral vision. When he saw her suddenly halted in her steps, looking all shocked and a little strange, and even shouted understandable yet incomprehensible words that made it seem like she was speaking to another person when she was all by herself, Jiang Wen Xiu instantly stopped and asked her in concern.

As soon as Jiang Wen Xiu stopped, the other members of the team (mainly the Sky Breeze Sect members) also halted one after another, which in turn made everyone else from other sects stop in puzzlement and doubt and look at what Jiang Wen Xiu had placed his focus on—which was Qing Xi. It was then that Qing Xi became aware that she had made a terrible blunder.

It turned out that she had stupidly yelled the latter sentence out loud. Her emotions had gotten way out of hand. She needed to calm herself down.

Qing Xi immediately adjusted her mentality and expression, lifted her head, and said to everyone with an apologetic look, "No, I… um, that… I was… I was thinking about the senior sister... No, I mean Yue Ran… I have once again sensed the moon pearl bead on Yue Ran's body... it seems that there is something wrong with it. Sorry, I was startled by it and may have lost my composure. I did not mean to cause trouble to anyone. I am sorry, everyone."

Qing Xi bit her lower lip with eyes welled with tears, her nose reddened, and apologized to everyone who stopped because of her in a soft and delicate voice. The young woman looked as if she was about to cry in the next second.

It was obviously not that big of an issue, and no one blamed her for anything (at least not out loud). But after she said that, everyone (mainly those who did not belong to the Sky Breeze Sect and were not yet tainted with her 'holy grace' or her female lead halo) was too embarrassed to say anything bad about her and could only comfort her with a few words before continuing on their way.

Jiang Wen Xiu had little reason to question what Qing Xi had said. He merely looked at her patiently and gently, then comforted her in a warm voice, "It is okay, I am just glad that you are okay."

"Yes, senior brother," Qing Xi said. "I only hope that everything will work out just fine." After a pause, she continued, "Senior brother, let us continue on our way."

Jiang Wen Xiu gave a nod, and the group kept pursuing Long Yuan by following the trails he "unknowingly" left behind. Cheng Mo glanced at Qing Xi casually, with a hint of doubt in his eyes. It was unfortunate that Qing Xi was too preoccupied with speaking to the system in her heart to notice it.

Qing Xi: "How could that stupid female lead already get to know Shu Ye?! Was she not going to be saved by Shu Ye during the Immortal Sacrifice Ceremony like what was supposed to occur in the storyline?! There would still be quite a long time for that to happen!"

Qing Xi may look calm and composed on the surface, but her heart was filled with so much anxiety that it was on the verge of exploding! Is this world not simply an ordinary world with a task difficulty level of B? How was it possible to have so many variables appearing in such a short time?! What had actually happened?!

Qing Xi: Everything does not make any sense! Is the world fighting against me or something?
