Chapter 505: “Older Sister, why aren’t you moving?”

"Mutually… two fingers…" Ouyang Luoluo spoke intermittently and incoherently, unable to finish her words. By the end, she completely lost her voice, leaving only vague mutterings.

But Lin Yue could roughly understand a thing or two of the meaning; it was nothing more than two people unwilling to bow their heads competing against each other and testing each other's "bottom line".

"Luoluo, isn't this simple?" Lin Yue leaned slightly closer to Ouyang Luoluo and said unconcernedly.

"Won't it be fine once they finish tossing about?"

"Strength always has a time when it runs out. Whoever goes soft first will lose, won't they?"

Lin Yue said these words too casually, causing Ouyang Luoluo to calmly raise doubts.

"Lin Yue, are you so certain that your friend and Liu Yiyi will definitely be able to tell who is superior? What if the two of them keep staying in a deadlock like this?"

"Neither is willing to admit defeat, so when is that going to end?"

Lin Yue decided to explain with the most plain and easy-to-understand reasoning.

"Luoluo, this is just like a copper coin dropping on the ground, guessing heads or tails."

"Toss it into the air, and when it falls to the ground, it is rarely ever going to land exactly standing upright on the ground."

"So when encountering a situation where the copper coin is standing upright like this, we just need to quietly wait for the result. Wait for it to fall on its own, and the heads or tails will naturally come out."

Her solemn and deadpan metaphor directly stunned Ouyang Luoluo, leaving the other party unable to find a retort for a moment.

She could only stare in dismay and let out a disdainful soft hum from her nose.

But Lin Yue only spoke of the surface part; the other most important part, she did not tell Luoluo.

The copper coin dropping is indeed hard to stand upright, always leaning towards one side, but what if right at this time, a breeze happens to blow over?

Or, what if someone quietly fiddled with it from the side? As long as a little external force is applied, whichever side you want to face up, it will obediently turn out that side.

In other words, if Yan Qingjue is in a weak position during the deadlock, Lin Yue wouldn't mind giving a little help to her own Senior Sister to turn the tables.

"Fine then, Lin Yue."

Ouyang Luoluo thought for a long time, and ultimately compromised.

She looked towards the depths of the spiritual liquid pool. The whitish mist made nothing clear, and even five fingers were hard to discern.

"However, this pool is huge, and the surroundings are entirely filled with water vapor where nothing can be seen. How are we going to find them in this thick fog?"

"Determine positions by sound!"

…

At this time, in the deepest part of the pool, undercurrents swam, and the water vapor was so dense it couldn't be melted away.

Two fair figures were right within the water vapor, looming and disappearing, leaving only gracefully outlined contours.

They confronted each other closely, every breath carrying a scorching temperature, blending with each other, pressing closer step by step.

"Older Sister!"

Liu Yiyi spoke softly, her tone charming and seductive, her arms ambiguously wrapping around Yan Qingjue's neck as she tilted her head and said softly,

"Why aren't you moving? Standing in a deadlock like this without moving, are you waiting for me to yield first?"

"Or could it be…"

She pulled back a little distance, and the ripples swayed accordingly.

"You are thinking about how to make me yield?"

Yan Qingjue looked straight at the other party. No extra emotions could be seen in those cold and proud eyes, but her rapid breathing betrayed her.

She looked at the smile hanging on the corner of Liu Yiyi's mouth and said in a calm tone,

"Then when you speak, steady your body before speaking…"

She suddenly exerted force, pinching Liu Yiyi's side waist and sending her into her own embrace, refuting in a cold voice,

"You can't even stand steadily… Is the water too cold, chilling you, or is there some other reason?"

This unvarnished exposure caused Liu Yiyi's movements to stall slightly. For a moment, there was only the sound of water waves washing against the pool walls around them.

After a moment, Liu Yiyi let out a low laugh and backhandedly hugged Yan Qingjue as well, only hugging even tighter than Yan Qingjue.

"Cold or not… I truly cannot compare to you, Older Sister."

"But Older Sister is saying one thing while meaning another; your body is much more honest than your mouth."

"Weren't you crying out just a moment ago?"

Yan Qingjue's eye twitched: "Oh? Could it be that you didn't make a sound? Just now, someone's voice was much louder than mine."

Both sides exchanged fierce words, neither willing to suffer a verbal disadvantage. Afterwards, the two launched an attack on each other once again, holding nothing back.

Liu Yiyi was suppressed by Yan Qingjue against the pool wall, and one could faintly see red marks rubbed onto their fair white skin.

"Older Sister, look…"

Liu Yiyi raised her head, revealing her slender neck, and gasped,

"How else do you want to play… I am fine with anything… As long as you are happy."

She lifted one leg from the bottom of the water, rubbing against Yan Qingjue's waistline.

"We even did that kind of thing just now."

"And we've also experienced that kind of brush-past touch; why don't we make up for it all together now?"

Yan Qingjue condescendingly sized up the person in her arms who had softened into a puddle of water.

"Then let's continue."

Liu Yiyi was, after all, in the Early Stage of the Nascent Soul, and gradually fell behind in the confrontation, having to rely on instinct to cling to Yan Qingjue.

"Older Sister's waist… is so soft…"

"Can you… hold me up a little bit?"

"Cannot hold you."

Yan Qingjue ruthlessly refused.

"Your entire body is shaking right now, even if I reach out."

"You will also clutch too tightly because of this subconscious movement."

Yan Qingjue's rational evaluation appeared exceptionally infuriating at a time like this. Liu Yiyi cast an amorous glance, her tone soul-stirring as she said,

"Then…"

"Does Older Sister not like it?"

Just as the two of them were about to continue bickering to decide who was superior,

in the white fog not far away, an unusual sound suddenly came over.

Splash, it sounded like someone wading through water.

Lin Yue's voice, caught in the fog, drifted leisurely over.

"Did you hear that? That commotion should be nearby, right?"

Immediately following was Ouyang Luoluo's suppressed whispering.

"Mm, I heard it too. These water ripples are shaking fiercely, it should be right ahead."

Although Ouyang Luoluo's voice was very small and she deliberately restrained her aura, this pool was inherently a natural echo chamber.

The sound was conducted extremely far by the water surface. Liu Yiyi and Yan Qingjue's cultivation was a cut above Lin Yue and the others; how could this bit of commotion possibly escape their ears?

The feeling just now of being pushed to the peak was like being splashed with a basin of cold water, rapidly fading from their bodies as rationality was pulled back into their brains.

Liu Yiyi first froze in place, her brows knitting tightly together, her expression losing composure.

She leaned back slightly, pulling open a tiny gap away from Yan Qingjue.

"How did those two run over to these depths? As for the battle over there, have they already finished things?"

She turned her head sideways, trying to pierce through that layer of thick fog to see the newcomers clearly. At this very second when Liu Yiyi was distracted looking into the distance,

Yan Qingjue seized the opportunity. Even though she was being pulled by the Soul-Guiding Silk, her instincts as the Saintess of the Hehuan Sect still remained.

The completely defenseless Liu Yiyi was thoroughly penetrated by this unexpected move, breaking her last line of defense.

"Mn~ Where is Older Sister's hand placing…"

Liu Yiyi let out an uncontrolled panting cry as her entire body plunged into Yan Qingjue's arms.

Yan Qingjue lowered her head and said by Liu Yiyi's ear,

"When doing it with me, you actually dare to be distracted?"
