Why Are All the Women Around Her Gay?!

Su Wanqing remained completely oblivious to the fact that she had been targeted.

She continued strolling through the snack street, half-wearing her kitten mask, nibbling on pastries while marveling at how prosperous the town was.

Even in broad daylight, the streets were packed to the point of shoulder-to-shoulder crowding.

“Mmm, really nice.”

“This little town is honestly more lively than most cities.”

The sweet taste spread across her tongue as she observed the surroundings and unconsciously began analyzing the reasons for its wealth.

Probably because it was close to a major cultivation sect like Heavenly Sword Pavilion. Many cultivators passed through, and every single one of them was filthy rich to mortals—they spent money like water.

Plus, Heavenly Sword Pavilion imposed very low taxes on surrounding towns, so the economy naturally boomed.

Though Su Wanqing was a certified shut-in, she had visited other towns before.

She couldn’t speak for other regions, but she was certain Xiangping Town was absolutely top-tier within Mengyun Continent.

Even the beggars here were refugees from elsewhere. Local residents all lived comfortably with full bellies and warm clothes.

Moreover, with Heavenly Sword Pavilion maintaining law and order, while crime wasn’t zero, it was rare on the surface.

But the face-slap came swiftly.

Just as Su Wanqing was inwardly praising the excellent public security under Heavenly Sword Pavilion’s jurisdiction, a rough shout rang out beside her.

“Stop right there, you little b*tch!”

Following the voice, she saw a dozen burly men dressed as bandits, armed with large blades, viciously chasing a delicate-looking young girl.

With Golden Core eyesight, even from afar, Su Wanqing could clearly see there were exactly twelve of them.

One was particularly huge, bearded, and ferocious-looking—the obvious leader.

Seeing the girl run into the crowd, afraid she’d use the crowd to escape their sight, the leader immediately roared at a one-eyed man lagging behind:

“Second brother, move your f*cking ass!”

“Don’t let that little b*tch get away! If we catch her, the boys back at the stronghold won’t go hungry for a whole year!”

Hearing the boss’s order, the previously slacking second-in-command instantly picked up speed.

“Got it, boss!”

“I told you not to call me boss—call me big bro!”

“Got it, boss!”

The pursued girl had clearly hoped to lose them in the crowd, but anyone with eyes could see the bandits were dead set on her.

If she ran near ordinary people, there was a high chance innocent bystanders would get hurt.

So the moment she dashed into the crowd, almost everyone tacitly cleared a path.

The previously packed street instantly opened up a wide empty lane, giving her zero cover.

Helpless, the girl could only keep running straight, searching for another chance to escape.

But unlike everyone else who avoided her like the plague, one person stood unmoved, directly in their path, watching them approach with absolutely no fear.

“Hmph—”

None other than Su Wanqing.

She wasn’t the meddling hero type, but she definitely wasn’t the kind to watch someone die without lifting a finger.

Moreover, as an elder of Heavenly Sword Pavilion, and this being their territory, she had a duty to deal with bandits who dared kidnap people in broad daylight.

Right under her nose, no less?

The audacity.

“Ah—!”

Just as the girl glanced back to check the distance, she suddenly stumbled and fell straight into Su Wanqing’s arms, “accidentally” knocking off her half-worn mask.

“…”

Su Wanqing didn’t mind the mask falling. At this point, masked or not, she had already drawn everyone’s attention.

The priority was handling the trouble in front of her.

“S-Sister… save me…”

Whether it was because she sensed Su Wanqing’s confidence, or simply because she had no strength left, the girl collapsed fully into her embrace, panting as she begged for help.

“Don’t worry.”

Feeling the girl pressed almost fully against her, Su Wanqing surprisingly didn’t feel her usual shyness.

Her expression remained unchanged, all her focus locked on the approaching bandits.

Because of that, she completely failed to notice anything odd—especially the faint, satisfied smile that flickered across the girl’s lips.

At such close range, the girl quietly admired Su Wanqing’s breathtaking face, hugging her even tighter.

She even took a deep breath, savoring the intoxicating charm-bone fragrance, inwardly sighing in bliss:

‘So fragrant~’

Her reaction wasn’t that of someone clinging to a lifeline.

It was that of someone who had found the rarest treasure in the world and greedily wanted to claim it for herself.

Meanwhile, Su Wanqing stared coldly at the approaching bandits and spoke icily:

“Robbing and kidnapping in broad daylight?”

“Do you really think no one can touch you?”

Her naturally aloof beauty and deliberately frosty aura made it feel as though the temperature had dropped several degrees.

“Who the hell are you? Why are you blocking our path to riches?”

Seeing the girl safely in Su Wanqing’s arms, the bandits didn’t charge blindly and instead asked who she was.

“You don’t deserve to know.”

“Scram. Or don’t blame me for being ruthless.”

With a casual wave of her hand, a treasured sword materialized out of thin air.

The immortal technique instantly terrified the bandits.

After a brief stunned moment, whether it was the hulking leader or the sinister one-eyed second-in-command, none dared to fight.

They all turned tail and fled in panic.

These weren’t idiots. Seeing someone conjure a sword from nothing—an obvious immortal—they’d have to be suicidal to stick around.

In mere moments, all twelve vanished without a trace.

Su Wanqing didn’t pursue. Not out of mercy or saintly compassion—but because she couldn’t.

There was still a girl in her arms whose legs had gone completely soft from fear.

She couldn’t just abandon her here.

And using spells in a crowded area risked collateral damage.

So she let them go for now.

“T-Thank you, beautiful big sister, for saving me…”

“It was nothing. Just convenient.”

Hearing the sweet, trembling voice in her arms, Su Wanqing didn’t pay it much mind.

After catching her breath, the girl finally released her.

Though… was it just her imagination, or did the girl seem oddly reluctant to let go?

But Su Wanqing quickly rationalized it.

She carried charm bones; the girl had been extremely close and had just been saved by her in a heroic fashion—some emotional reaction was normal.

Judging by her clothes, she was clearly a young lady from a wealthy family.

And from being chased by those bandits, she was probably a mortal with no cultivation.

Long pale-purple hair, exquisite and refreshing features, matching purple eyes, elegant and outstanding aura.

Even in the cultivation world full of beauties, she would stand near the very top.

“…”

Looking at the girl’s face, Su Wanqing suddenly felt a sense of familiarity—like she’d seen her somewhere before, but couldn’t place it.

After thinking for a moment, she decided to ask about the situation first.

“May I ask why those bandits were after you, miss?”

“By your attire, you seem to be from a wealthy family. Where are your guards?”

“My family recently came here for business. I accidentally got separated from my guards just now, and those bandits recognized me, so they targeted me.”

The girl trembled all over, her voice quivering as if utterly terrified.

“Oh, I see.”

Su Wanqing nodded unconsciously. It made sense.

But one thing still puzzled her: why were there bandits here at all?

Towns near cultivation sects shouldn’t have bandits.

She distinctly remembered personally leading the last bandit extermination for Heavenly Sword Pavilion—they should’ve been wiped clean.

Remnants? Impossible. She had been very thorough.

Outsiders? Even less likely.

Who would be stupid enough to rob in a sect’s territory?

Local recruits? Also impossible. Everyone here lived comfortably.

Who would choose a life of crime that could get them purged by Heavenly Sword Pavilion at any moment?

Just as Su Wanqing was completely stumped, one sentence from the girl made everything click into place.

And the price of that realization was cold sweat pouring down her back and bone-chilling terror.

The girl curtsied gracefully and introduced herself:

“This little one is named Shen Xianyue. May I know beautiful sister’s name and where you reside? When I return home, I will definitely repay you generously.”

“Shen…”

Hearing that name, Su Wanqing’s eyes widened in shock.

But the emotion vanished as quickly as it came, buried deep inside.

Even the words that nearly escaped her lips were forcibly swallowed back.

Because she knew she absolutely could not let the other party detect anything unusual, or disaster would follow.

Shen Xianyue?

Wasn’t that the name of that demonic witch?!

No wonder the face felt familiar—pale purple hair and eyes—such distinctive features, and she still hadn’t recognized her?!

No wonder bandits suddenly appeared in the now-peaceful Xiangping Town, and she, a Heavenly Sword Pavilion elder, just “happened” to run into it.

It all made sense now!

Those bandits were definitely arranged by this witch to get close to her!

Damn it! Her charm bones had struck again!

Getting targeted by this demonic woman was a colossal disaster!

Looking at the gentle, refined demeanor before her, Su Wanqing knew full well it was all an act.

The real Shen Xianyue was seductive, soul-stealing, and lethally dangerous!

Now there was only one thought in her mind:

Run. Run like hell.

Four words: f*ck THIS, I’M OUT!

Damn it all! Those sayings were true—good deeds never go unpunished; kindness gets you ridden.

If she weren’t a transmigrator, she would’ve already fallen for it and been literally ridden by this witch.

What terrible luck.

She thought she’d done a heroic rescue.

Turns out it was all a trap, and now she’d attracted the demonic witch Shen Xianyue.

Since she’d already been targeted, Su Wanqing absolutely could not let any hint of wanting to flee show.

Because with the personality Shen Xianyue displayed in the original novel, the moment she tried to run—she’d get knocked out and dragged away!

And once kidnapped, nothing but abyss, hell, and every kind of cruel “training” awaited her…

It’s over. Everything is over.

Not only did she have the villainess Chen Xueli, now she’d provoked the demonic witch Shen Xianyue too?

While wallowing in despair, Su Wanqing also felt a twinge of bewildered frustration:

The original novel was just a perfectly normal female-led harem story!

So why the hell was every single woman around her a massive lesbian?!

Was she truly destined only to be pinned down in this life?!
