Chapter 318 Who Said Fairies Don't Kill?
Fairy Ning spoke softly, "The art of martial arts is just a simple name. When the heart is upright, the form follows, having nothing to do with any psychic. However, my dear junior sister, your scheming mind and fine skills are truly admirable, your whole body filled with hidden weapons. You've truly earned my admiration."
The fairy maiden was mocking An Biru's use of hidden weapons to hurt others. How could Sister An not understand this? She giggled and responded, "My senior sister, indeed, your heart is noble, and I admire you. However, let's be clear. Is there really a difference between you killing with a treasure sword and me killing with poison? Both take lives. Do you think your killing is noble while mine is despicable? Unlike you, a noble, fairy-like beauty, admired and desired by many, I am but a lowly Miao girl, alone in the world, navigating among many men. If I didn't have my unique abilities, I fear I wouldn't even have bones left. How could you understand?"
These two striking women, their faces veiled, conversed casually as if discussing common affairs. Yet, their hands never paused. In the blink of an eye, their swords crossed, sparks flying. They fought more than twenty rounds, each more intense and ruthless than the last. As sworn sisters who knew each other well and had battled for many years, one was killing, the other saving. Both pulled out all the stops, neither could gain an upper hand.
The courtyard of the Xiao family was vast, with very few men besides Lin Wanrong. No one dared to interfere with the fight between the two women. The Eldest Miss had been watching An Biru for a long time when she suddenly said, "No wonder she looked familiar, it's actually her. You dead man, you sweet-talked and deceived me earlier, and now I see you've colluded with her for this performance. To think I was worried about you, you've conspired with outsiders to trick me—"
Lin Wanrong quickly covered her mouth, whispering, "It's not as simple as you think. Just believe me, men have their reasons for what they do. Look closely, am I a bad guy?"
Eldest Miss broke free, glanced at him, and retorted, "If you're not a bad person, then everyone in this world is good."
Seeing her blush, who knows what she was thinking. Lin Wanrong chuckled, wrapping his arm around her slender waist, "Exactly, I only misbehave with you."
In the courtyard, the two had battled for more than a hundred rounds without a clear victor. An Biru, finding it hard to defeat her opponent, quickly changed tactics. With a giggle, she dodged the fairy sister's sword, spun lightly as if a wisp of smoke, and appeared in front of Lin Wanrong in an instant. She held one of his arms, locking onto his pressure point.
Lin Wanrong, engrossed in his tender moment with the Eldest Miss, was taken aback by a sudden fragrant scent. An Biru had him. She chuckled, her voluptuous body lightly pressing onto his, flirtatiously saying, "I've got you now.""Hey, sister, what are you doing? It's improper for men and women to touch each other, I will shout harassment—" Lin Wanrong exclaimed. Fairy Ning was not slow to react. Seeing An Biru's move, she darted forward and held Lin Wanrong's other arm. The two women, with him in between, formed a triangle, neither giving an inch.
An Biru gave a soft hum, swiftly waving her palm. An icy white aura filled her palm, a chill that seared into his arm. Lin Wanrong shivered all over, feeling as if he had been dropped into an icehouse, chilling beyond words. On the other hand, Fairy Ning did not utter a word, instead, her delicate hand gently pressed against his other arm. Instantly, a surge of warmth streamed into his body through his arm, overwhelmingly hot. Two opposing forces, one cold and one hot, battled incessantly within his body.
"Hey, ladies," Lin Wanrong shouted loudly, "Could you be a bit more professional about this hot and cold treatment? I've paid good money for the experience!" The sensation was like hiding in an icehouse with a roaring furnace, his body shivering from cold on one side and sweating on the other. It was an indescribable discomfort. Damn, was this the legendary "ice-fire experience"? And it was delivered by these celestial-like sisters. If he was lying in bed for this, with an iceberg on one side and fire on the other, how wonderful that would be.
An Biru giggled and said, "Sister, are you protecting this boy because you've taken a fancy to him?" Fairy Ning's face remained as calm as still water, showing no reaction.
An Biru shouted softly, exerting force with her feet. With Lin Wanrong in tow, her body gracefully rose like a wild goose. Fairy Ning, holding onto Lin Wanrong's other arm, could not exert any force and had to follow An Biru's movement. With their bodies suspended in the air, they shot toward the wall.
"Lin San, Lin San!" the Eldest Miss shouted in alarm, quickly giving chase.
How could Xiao Yuruo, a delicate lady, keep up with the incredible speed of An Biru and Fairy Ning? By the time she rushed out the door, there were only vague shadows in the sky, with no sign of the three.
"That jerk!" the Eldest Miss stomped her foot in anger. Although Lin San was taken away, it looked like he had colluded with that An person. Those two were always suspiciously close. That vixen An was charmingly enchanting and particularly nice to Lin San, surely she would not harm him. As for the fairy woman, she had come to rescue him, so Lin San would not be in danger. But she had no idea when that rascal would return from his mischief outside, and he still had whip wounds on his back.
—---
"Let go of me, let go of me, I can't fly, I have a fear of heights!" Suspended in mid-air by two women, Lin Wanrong struggled hard. He leaned toward An Biru, pressing against her plump bosom. With reckless abandon, he squeezed it, marveling at its slipperiness and elasticity.
An Biru, however, had no time to deal with his brazen act. The two women held Lin Wanrong on either side, moving quickly through the treetops like wild geese. Their free hands did not rest either, clashing before Lin Wanrong's face. The gusts caused by their movements brushed past Lin Wanrong's cheeks, leaving an indescribable sensation. "Damn it, you two can fight all you want, but don't harm my handsome face. I have to make a living with it!" Lin Wanrong's nose broke out in a cold sweat, his heart full of unease.
Two identical, slender and supple hands constantly swung before his eyes, Lin Wanrong could even detect the faint, ethereal fragrance from their fingertips. Being hoisted into the sky by the world's most outstanding women, and additionally benefiting from occasional perks, was an exhilarating experience.
These two women were among the world's most skilled. Their intense struggle, accompanied by myriad hand movements, was reminiscent of flitting orchids, causing confusion in one's vision but causing no harm to his cheeks. Lin Wanrong worried for a while before settling down. Watching these two, a fairy and a vixen, each having an arm around him amidst their battle, he was surrounded by tantalizing fragrance, and their quivering bosoms were very pleasing to the eye.
Consider this: these two were the world's most outstanding women. To engage so intimately with them was an opportunity bestowed by heaven. If he didn't seize the moment, he would be letting himself down.
Being a fearless individual, he was moved by the sight of Sister An's quivering bosom. Seeing the two women preoccupied, he subtly brushed against Sister An's chest.
An Biru's eyes were dizzying, she glanced at him amidst her busyness, her eyes full of blame.
Got it, she must be upset that he was only taking advantage of her and not her sister. He must be fair and impartial. He rationalized this, and his other arm swept toward Fairy Sister's chest.
Fairy Sister's eyes flashed with a divine light, and she hummed, increasing her strength, a burning pain came from his arm.
Lin Wanrong cried out, "Hey, why are you burning me? This will leave a scar! So what if you can heat up! I can shoot water!"
Fairy Sister hummed faintly, not saying anything. An Biru giggled, "My sister's body is pure as jade and ice, it is not something a crude person like you can defile. Sister, this lad took advantage of you, let me kill him!"
"He deserves to die, but not by your hands," Fairy Ning said in a soft voice, her tone inexplicably calm as if nothing could affect her state of mind.
"I hate your self-righteous attitude, acting as if you control everyone's fate," Lin Wanrong yelled, "Talking to you is not interesting. Black-clothes sister, you kill me instead."
Fairy Ning's expression did not change, but she suddenly let go of his arm. Her left hand flicked the long sword and aimed it at An Biru.
Sister An's expression tightened, barely blocking her sword. Her body shivered, and her left hand no longer held Lin Wanrong. The trio, originally standing on top of a tall tree, lost their balance. Lin Wanrong screamed as he fell straight down like a rock.
An Biru watched anxiously as Lin Wanrong's descent accelerated. If she did not act, he would lose his life. Biting her lip, she twisted her body, and like a leaf, she began to descend the tree.
She was fast, but someone was faster. Fairy Ning attacked forcing An Biru to let go, her body shot downwards along the tree, and in the blink of an eye, she reached the ground. Looking up, she saw Lin San, who wanted to take advantage of her, falling straight down, looking as if he was about to crash into her.
‘You wish to save me, don't you? Then open your arms, I promise I won't knock you over,’ Lin San's face lit up with a salacious smile. He rather enjoyed this 'kindness' of this 'sister'.
It seemed as if Fairy Ning could see through the vulgar thoughts in Lin Wanrong's mind, a cold smirk gracing her porcelain-like face, veiled behind her thin shroud.
"Fairy, I'm coming." Seeing Fairy Sister right in front of him, Lin Wanrong stretched out his arms, intending to give her a big embrace. But just as his hands were about to touch her waist, he felt a cold, long object blocking his body. It immobilized him, stretching from his chest to his groin. Fairy Sister's eye was incredibly sharp, her hand precise. This move didn't deviate in the slightest, perfectly halting his fall, no more, no less.
"Damn, what did Fairy Sister use to stop me?" Lin Wanrong grumbled internally, looking down to see a thin sword sheath wedged beneath him.
He landed grudgingly and clapped his hands, laughing, "Sister, your technique is so accurate. Do you also use this thing to poke yourself when you're free?"
An Biru, relieved, descended not far from the pair, laughing, "Great strategy, Sister. It was a diversion. Truly worthy of being the successor of the Jade Virtue Fairy Hall."
Fairy Sister faintly smiled, "Sister, we have fought for quite a while today. You can't beat me, and I can't do much about you. This man might be vulgar, but you can't just kill him. Everything you have done is because of my 'Jade Virtue Fairy Hall'. Who you want to harm, I will protect."
Lin Wanrong snorted secretly, recalling how she had also wanted to kill him once. Shouldn't An Biru be protecting him based on this logic?
An Biru snorted, "I couldn't kill him today, but there will be another day. I refuse to believe that you can stay by his side for a lifetime."
"I might not necessarily protect him for a lifetime, but I can certainly protect him for a while." Fairy Ning said lightly, thick confidence flashing in her eyes.
"Is that so? Have you taken a liking to this kid, Sister? Lin San, you are indeed lucky—" An Biru laughed lasciviously, her voluptuous figure undulating, drawing a wonderful curve. Her laughter suddenly stopped as she said coldly, "But don't be too happy too soon. My sister here is a hundred times better at toying with men than I am. Once you fall into her trap, you'll be begging for life and death—you'd be better off with me killing you. That would be much more enjoyable."
"Really?" Lin Wanrong took several steps back in disbelief, staring at her.
"Lin San, take care of yourself." As her words fell, An Biru gave Lin Wanrong a deep look, her body twisted, and she vanished into the vast forest like a light swan.
Fairy Ning didn't speak, gazing at An Biru's retreating figure. She sighed lightly, her gaze deep, it was unclear what she was thinking.
Lin Wanrong looked longingly at An Biru's beautiful figure. Compared with this icy Fairy Sister, An Biru was like a blazing fire, seductive and boundless. Speaking with her was incredibly enjoyable. If he could get this provocative and mature woman into bed, and sing her 'A River of Spring Water', goodness, what would that be like?
In the forest, only the two of them remained, the silence between them almost palpable. Fairy Ning sighed wistfully, turning to see Lin San leering into the distance, salivating, the picture of lustful debauchery. Her brow furrowed involuntarily. Could this really be the man Qingxuan had fallen for? She remembered her decision to kill him that day, and it felt as if it had been an incredibly wise choice.
Seeing the silent Fairy Ning approach, Lin Wanrong quickly exclaimed, "Don't come over, I'm not a loose man!"
Fairy Ning stopped in her tracks and asked indifferently, "Do you believe me or her?"
"Her? Who is she?" Lin Wanrong was taken aback at first, then realization dawned. "You mean the one in black? Isn't she your junior sister? If I have to choose, I'd rather believe your junior sister."
"Why? Don't you know she wants to kill you?" Fairy Ning asked, her eyes devoid of emotion.
"Well, it seems she does want to kill me, but I'm no pushover either. I'm not the type who'd let her kill me just because she said so," Lin Wanrong chuckled, adding, "I chose to believe her because she has a better figure."
Fairy Ning didn't get angry. She took a few steps forward and said, "You're no simple character. Indeed, your martial arts skills are average, but when it comes to cunning and deceit, there are few in this world who can match you. That day, I was nearly killed on the spot, and that's proof."
Lin Wanrong feigned ignorance. "Killed on the spot? Did I do that? Fairy Sister, you must be mistaken. Who would dare to harm someone as beautiful as you? Ah, I wouldn't do such a thing, I only engage in more noble pursuits."
Fairy Ning, hearing his deceit, snorted, "Is that so? Don't you recognize me then?"
Lin Wanrong looked at her carefully, then shook his head after a while. "Sister, your elegance and beauty are unparalleled, you're like Chang'e from the moon palace, breathtakingly beautiful. But with your face veiled, even if I have met you before, I wouldn't be able to tell."
"Do you recognize this then?" In Fairy Ning's delicate hand, she held a thin bee needle that softly glowed silver.
"Ah, where did this embroidery needle come from? Fairy Sister, your hands are too delicate for such crude tasks. Give me the needle, I'll throw it away for you," Lin San said without a change in expression, reaching out for the bee needle.
With a swift twist of her hand, Fairy Ning moved incredibly quickly. The needle harshly pierced Lin Wanrong's hand with a 'zi' sound.
"Ah—" Lin Wanrong cried out, his face turning pale. He felt as if he could already sense the suffocation of his heart. This was the poisonous needle personally prepared by Xian’er, if he died like this, it would be a real tragedy. He had used the bee needle on others, but never thought it would be used on him. Without another thought, he reached into his pocket for the antidote.
Seeing his movements, Fairy Ning faintly smiled and asked, "What are you looking for?"
"I'm looking for the antidote— Ah, no, just kidding. I'm looking for candy. Sister, do you want some? I'll give you a piece," Lin Wanrong quickly found the antidote and without thinking, swallowed one. After waiting for a while, he felt a pain in his stomach, followed by the dispersal of the pain, a warm current spread from his abdomen, making him feel much better all over.
Fairy Ning didn't try to stop him. She watched him quietly as he finished the antidote, then gave him a small nod with a smile. "How does the antidote taste?" she asked. "Is there first a stomach pain, followed by a wave of heat coursing through your body?"
"Oh, is that so?" Lin Wanrong chuckled, a sudden chill passing through his heart. Fairy Sister had described the effects of the drug without a single mistake. It seemed she could indeed counteract the deadly poison.
Fairy Ning lifted the bee needle in her hand, a smile playing on her lips. "The person who concocted this poison in the needle put a great deal of thought into it, using seven different deadly poisons. If not for my profound abilities, I fear I would have fallen to your hand that day."
‘Damn, she really knows how to turn the tables,’ Lin Wanrong thought. Had he not been armed with a pair of guns and needles, he might have been killed by her sword. He chuckled and said, "Fairy Sister, I think you've mistaken me for someone else. How could a humble man like myself use such a sinister weapon? Ah, the thought that someone is impersonating me to commit murder... given my striking good looks, I fear countless innocent girls might be harmed. I must report this to the authorities and bring him to justice to protect the safety of these young ladies. As for the girls who've already been harmed by him, sigh, I'll take responsibility!"
As Fairy Sister saw his act, the amusement in her eyes deepened. She took a few steps forward, saying, "Whether it was you or not, doesn't matter at this point. This deadly poison was carefully concocted, and the antidote is just as extraordinary, composed of seven deadly poisons that kill upon entering the bloodstream..."
"Seven... deadly... poisons... that... kill... upon... entering... the bloodstream?" Lin Wanrong repeated her words slowly, a tremor in his voice.
"Exactly," she affirmed, nodding slightly. "One thing suppresses another. Seven deadly poisons are neutralized by another set of seven deadly poisons. The person who concocted this poison is truly ingenious. If I didn't have some knowledge of medicine and poison, I might have turned into a pile of bones today."
Upon hearing her words, Lin Wanrong was greatly shocked. He understood the principle of fighting poison with poison. In the hospitals of his previous life, many antidotes were extracted from venomous snakes. He thought of Fairy Sister playing with poisons, dealing with twenty different kinds. Wasn't this a terrifying thought? If one day she took a disliking to someone and added a pinch of her poison to their food, that would spell the end.
Fairy Sister continued calmly, "Deadly poisons can harm people, but they can also save people. However, what do you think would happen if someone who is not poisoned takes this antidote?"
"They would certainly be poisoned and die," Lin Wanrong replied with a laugh. Thankfully, he had already been poisoned before taking the antidote, otherwise he would have surely met his end.
"Judging by your appearance, you don't seem completely foolish," Fairy Sister said with a smile. "However, sometimes you do enjoy pretending to be confused. It's not a problem if you don't recognize me, but if you don't recognize this bee needle, that would be truly improper." Fairy Ning flicked the bee needle in her hand with a cold laugh.
"Fairy Sister, your words are too profound for a simple man like me to understand," Lin Wanrong replied.
Fairy Sister let out a light laugh, handing the bee needle to Lin Wanrong. "The deadliest of poisons cause silver to change color. What color do you think this bee needle would be if it was tainted with a deadly poison?"
"Deep blue, or perhaps black—" Lin San began, but as he held the shimmering silver needle in his hand, he felt something was wrong. The smile on his face quickly froze.
"Do you understand now?" Fairy Sister asked with a gentle smile.
‘Damn, I've been had,’ Lin Wanrong thought, rage welling up inside him. He exclaimed loudly, "You, you're the renowned Fairy Sister, how could you resort to murder?"
"Who says that a fairy doesn't kill?" Fairy Sister replied, her eyes sparkling with amusement. She twirled her delicate body, lightly brushing her hair from her ears, exuding a charm that was even more seductive than that of Sister An.
