A Foolish Woman’s Confession

‘You once said: ‘Teacher Uncle, you are a foolish woman…'”

“You’re right, Xia Yi. I truly am a foolish woman…”

Fei Miaoyun spoke without concern for whether Xia Yi was listening; she simply continued, “Initially, when I took on a disciple, I wanted it to be you.

However, from start to finish, you never even glanced at me. You firmly chose Pei Teacher instead…”

Xia Yi remained silent. So, those expectant and fervent eyes belonged to him?

He had assumed they were directed at Zhen Aoyu, the husband-killing, heaven-defying protagonist.

After all, Fei Miaoyun was the female lead, and Zhen Aoyu the male. It seemed natural.

But Fei Miaoyun’s next words stirred a storm within Xia Yi’s heart.

“Do you know how jealous I was of her? To prove to you that I was the best mentor, I accepted Zhen Aoyu, that beast.

For years, I treated him as your replacement, doing my utmost to nurture him.

In the end, it was only through you that I recognized his true nature…

Xia Yi, you were right; Teacher Uncle is indeed a woman of utmost foolishness.”

“Teacher Uncle, do you remember my next words?”

The warmth emanating from Xia Yi’s embrace made Fei Miaoyun’s heart quiver.

Her thoughts drifted back to the first time she was gravely injured while retrieving a precious elixir for Zhen Aoyu.

At that time, Fei Miaoyun was severely injured, having retrieved the rare elixir Zhen Aoyu needed for his cultivation.

Yet, Zhen Aoyu merely offered a half-hearted thanks before rushing off to break through, not even offering a word of concern.

Later, it was Xia Yi who chanced upon her unconscious body and cared for her tenderly.

Upon waking, Xia Yi’s first words were:

“Teacher Uncle, you are truly a foolish woman…”

“Please take better care of yourself, Teacher Uncle. Seeing you like this breaks my heart…”

The same words, the same person, different times, same feeling.

However, back then, Fei Miaoyun, constrained by her jealousy of Pei Yunxiang and her dignity as an elder, had driven Xia Yi away.

But now, she chose to hold tightly to the first person who ever cared for her…

So tight, so soft, and so fragrant.

Xia Yi was overwhelmed by the mature, alluring scent of Fei Miaoyun, intensified by their closeness.

Since that day, Fei Miaoyun often feigned injuries to return and receive Xia Yi’s scolding and care.

Under the guise of caring for Zhen Aoyu, Fei Miaoyun enjoyed Xia Yi’s attention.

But in truth, her heart had always belonged to the boy she fell for at the discipleship ceremony.

Perhaps it was because Xia Yi had used a fifth of the righteous sword intent.

Their journey to the peak was unobstructed by any beast.

Soon enough, Xia Yi carried Fei Miaoyun to the summit.

“So, even now, you still care for me?”

Unnoticing any change in Fei Miaoyun’s tone, Xia Yi instinctively affirmed her question.

As he spoke, he carried Fei Miaoyun into the deserted Star Pool.

He hoped this might restore some of her strength, allowing her to leave his back.

Otherwise, with Fei Miaoyun constantly rubbing against him, Xia Yi felt he couldn’t endure it any longer.

“Always, no matter when.”

In his haste, Xia Yi didn’t ponder before answering Fei Miaoyun.

After all, who wouldn’t be moved by a beautiful, voluptuous, and proud fairy like Fei Miaoyun?

“Even forever?”

“Even—”

Wait! Kids, something’s off with this sentence!

Due to inertia, Xia Yi didn’t realize the implication at first.

When he finally understood and tried to explain,

“Teacher Uncle, actually…”

!

Fei Miaoyun pushed him down, her eyes glazed as she gazed at him.

Close up, her narrow, slitted eyes seemed to sparkle with a heart shape.

“So, we promise to be together forever…”

Fei Miaoyun had never felt so good before.

Having faced life and death, she wanted to confess her feelings to Xia Yi.

She feared she might regret it if she died suddenly.

She never expected Xia Yi to ‘accept’ her confession.

This made Fei Miaoyun incredibly happy.

Moreover, for some reason, Xia Yi had become irresistibly alluring since earlier.

She yearned to embrace him, to let him ravage her completely…

Ah~ She could hear nothing, think of nothing else…

Fei Miaoyun’s hair, dampened by the Star Pool, clung to her skin.

Her already tattered robe, aided by the water, perfectly displayed her voluptuous, curvaceous figure.

Facing Fei Miaoyun, her eyes sparkling with desire, her breath hot, and her body pressing against him, Xia Yi was terrified.

Wasn’t this supposed to be the Star Pool, which purifies bloodlines and enhances potential?

Then why did Fei Miaoyun seem drugged, her every move oozing seduction?

“Teacher Uncle! Wake up, something’s wrong!”

Despite Xia Yi’s desperate attempts to pull Fei Miaoyun from the Star Pool, she was as immovable as ever.

Fearful of hurting her, he could only try to wake her with words.

But to Fei Miaoyun, Xia Yi’s struggles and calls seemed like foreplay, an invitation.

She was deaf to everything else.

Fei Miaoyun now had only one thought: to thoroughly explore the puzzle of their union, to release the long-suppressed passion and desire.

When Fei Miaoyun’s full, elastic lips completely covered Xia Yi’s, a new passage appeared in the Book of World Cleansing, attributed to her.

Book of World Cleansing:

Fei Miaoyun (Purification Value): ???%

Reward: Righteous Sword Intent (One-Fifth)

Elemental Flower Enchantment (Bloom Progress): 0%

Notes: Currently purifying and refining the Enchantment bloodline. Upon completion, water the Elemental Flower to bloom. Without watering, the flower withers, power is lost, and the Enchantment blood erupts.

Watering Method: Yin and Yang harmony, infuse with the other half’s bloodline until the flower blooms…

Goddess Nuwa!

Having read the Book of World Cleansing, Xia Yi couldn’t hold back any longer.

It seemed the Star Pool was indeed a love potion.

In the original plot, Fei Miaoyun had never entered the Star Pool, so her Elemental Flower Enchantment had never awakened.

In the original story, Fei Miaoyun and Zhen Aoyu were attacked by a pair of Stage Two Late beasts.

Zhen Aoyu had intentionally lured them to perform a ‘teacher-student affection’ scene, sacrificing himself to save his teacher.

To heal Zhen Aoyu, Fei Miaoyun stood guard beside him, never touching the Star Pool.

So, in Xia Yi’s memory, Fei Miaoyun remained an ordinary body type until Zhen Aoyu betrayed and killed her.

He had planned to use the Star Pool to enhance Fei Miaoyun’s potential and break through to the Core Formation stage.

He never expected to trigger a hidden plot.
