Chapter 550: Chapter 531: Emotion Slayer Sword Performs Well_3

Huh? What on earth was he rambling on about?!!

I don’t care anymore, I might as well play the fool.

Such nonsensical gibberish could rightfully earn a girl a slap across the face.

Su Jing halted her steps, her head tilted slightly in incomprehensible confusion, her adorable rabbit ears swaying lightly in unison: “Hm?”

Baili An felt utterly foolish, completely stupid: “Ah, that… no, I mean…”

“Hm.”

Her voice drifted softly, like light flowers touching water, leaving no trace.

She actually responded!!!???

Although her voice was extremely soft and light, she indeed considered the question thoughtfully before answering.

She slowly turned her face, her dark eyes fixating on Baili An, her ears twitching against each other.

“Beloved.” Her tone gentle, devoid of emotion, yet inexplicably alluring.

Baili An’s gaze was once again attracted to her ears, as if bewitched, uttering foolish babble continuously and recklessly: “Don’t go, I’ll grow carrots and take care of you for a lifetime.”

At the words ‘a lifetime,’ Su Jing’s eyes widened slightly, looking at Baili An with an indefinable expression.

For a moment, her eyes held a nearly imperceptible tender warmth but vanished like flowing water.

Two hundred years were enough for her to live with clear understanding.

She folded her body at the edge of the bed and picked a clean spot to sit down slowly, letting Baili An, with a flushed face, grasp her wrist.

She raised her sleeve calmly, her arms like snowy lotus root, a speck of bright cinnabar marked like misplaced porcelain on her skin.

That was the maidens’ cinnabar mark.

Watching Baili An gradually turn foolish and then embarrassed, the gloom in her heart unknowingly lightened a bit.

Su Jing’s eyes held a barely discernible, gentle smile, yet her expression remained cool and detached, seriously asking: “In that case, can I still eat your carrots for a lifetime?”

Baili An’s face burned, looking at the mark on the couch, nearly stuttering: “But…but but but…”

Su Jing glanced at him indifferently and said: “That night I had a stomachache, you were not unaware.”

Baili An froze completely, then realized: “So, this was just…”

Su Jing calmly and seriously spouted nonsense: “Hm, my period came.”

It was remarkable how she could discuss such a taboo subject for maidens so openly and elegantly without feeling improper.

Baili An almost spat out a mouthful of old blood, his hand flinging away reflexively, overwhelmed with embarrassment.

Oh God, what was he even saying just now!

To think of using carrots to sustain a daughter of the righteous Daoist Immortal.

Just kill him now!

Su Jing calmly withdrew her hand and watched as Baili An nearly curled up to hide in the quilt, her eyes graced with a smile, her beauty effortlessly heart-fluttering.

Unfortunately, Baili An was unable to see it; by the time he peeked out from the quilt again, Su Jing’s eyes had returned to their usual cool, ink-like calm.

Confusion still lingered in Baili An’s heart, with no respite, he murmured after a long pause: “Um… Miss Jing.”

“Hm.” She responded softly, seemingly detached but patient.

“Why am I not wearing clothes?”

“…” This question truly stumped her.

“And… where did I bump my waist? Why do I feel so weak all over, do you feel the same when you drink Sanqing Wine?”

“…”

Su Jing’s eyelashes fell, her voice indifferent as she dismissed his questions: “I too was drunk, you know it. How should I know why your clothes are gone, why your waist feels weak?”

Baili An pondered in trepidation, wondering if he had gone crazy while drunk?

He glanced at the neatly folded clothes at the head of the bed, realizing it was Su Jing’s doing.

She was kind, even folding his clothes for him.

Baili An pulled his clothes and hid under the quilt to dress.

While dressing, he suddenly remembered something, his voice emanating from the thin quilt: “Miss Jing, is your Emotion Slayer Sword fixed?”

Su Jing’s fingers stiffened, remembering that spur-of-the-moment angry strike, she nonchalantly replied: “Emotion Slayer is doing well, it held up on its own.”

Baili An was relieved it was fixed, at least the trouble with the sea demon’s vine was resolved.

After a brief tidy up, he was dressed, ready to lift the quilt, when Su Jing’s cool and refreshing voice faintly sounded: “Carrots are cheap and easy to take care of.”

The quilt lifted, the large chamber was emptily vast; no trace of Su Jing was to be seen.

Baili An dazedly knelt on the bed, unable to grasp the meaning of her words for a moment.

Carrots are cheap, easy to take care of…

Did she mean herself, or the carrots?

If it was herself, why would she mention this to a corpse demon who had no relation to her?

If it was about the carrots… why did she feel the need to reiterate such a mundane matter?

Baili An’s emotions were in disarray, increasingly baffled by this white-clad lady.
