Beauty Snake - Chapter 93

Chapter 93: Click To See Ji Yunfei Preparing To Seek Death Again ^v^

Listening to Ji Yunfei’s anxious explanation, Xie Yin felt a surge of delight, and the frustration knotted in her heart vanished. She tried her best to control the corners of her mouth that were twitching upward, pretending to be indifferent: “Tch, so mysterious…”

This bad human actually knows to prepare a surprise for me? Then I, the Little Overlord of the Snake Den, will tentatively forgive her this once. Hmph, if the surprise is to my liking, I might consider taking things a step further with her…

After all, someone who was exactly her type and whose heart and eyes were filled only with her… was a rare find.

“Hehe…” As she thought, a silly smile crept onto Xie Yin’s face. Seeing this, Ji Yunfei knew her mind had drifted to the clouds again. She applied a bit of pressure, gently squeezing Xie Yin’s hand: “So, can you forgive me? Good Yin-yin?”

“Hmph, this Young Lady won’t settle scores with you today.” Xie Yin, as if possessed, did not pull her hand away, nor did she correct Ji Yunfei’s slightly ambiguous nickname. She just turned her head awkwardly, still being stubborn.

“Yes, yes, yes. Thank you, Eldest Miss, for your mercy in forgiving this humble servant—” Ji Yunfei’s eyes crinkled with laughter, her tone subconsciously becoming playful.

“That’s enough out of you…” Seeing Ji Yunfei acting like a clown, Xie Yin couldn’t help but let out a laugh. Realizing her slip, she punched Ji Yunfei. It looked like a heavy blow, but only Ji Yunfei knew it was soft—less a “punishment” and more like the gentle murmur of lovers flirting.

It made her heartbeat skip a rhythm.

She looked at the person before her: cheeks flushed, black hair scattered wildly across the spring water, and eyes slightly hazy from the rising steam. The suppressed thoughts in Ji Yunfei’s heart surged up like madness.

Her gaze shifted uncontrollably from those intoxicating eyes to the slightly reddened, thin lips. Due to the mist of the spirit spring, the lips shimmered with a moist luster. They looked incredibly kissable.

I want to… kiss her so badly…

Ji Yunfei’s gaze gradually grew dark. She swallowed silently, her upper canine teeth biting hard on her lower lip to restrain her impulsive urges.

No, I can’t be impulsive again… now is not the time for this…

“Hey, what’s wrong with you? Why the bitter face?” Xie Yin naturally noticed Ji Yunfei’s abnormality. She leaned her face close to Ji Yunfei’s, as if trying to see right through her.

With this sudden movement, the flirtatious thoughts clouding Ji Yunfei’s heart vanished instantly. She snapped back to her senses and covered up: “Ah, no, it’s nothing. I just got lost in thought about some trivial matters regarding the festival.”

She looked up at Xie Yin. Seeing the girl pouting with a suspicious look, Ji Yunfei shifted the topic: “Never mind that. Aren’t the cookies all gone? After we finish soaking, let’s go back together and I’ll give them to you.”

“Mmm.” Seeing that Ji Yunfei didn’t want to talk, Xie Yin didn’t bother to dig deeper. She followed her lead. “Bring all your stock this time!”

“So I don’t have to go looking for you when I run out…”

For some reason, Ji Yunfei heard a hint of grievance in those words. She smiled and reached out to loosely embrace the bowed-headed Xie Yin: “I’ve been busy with Auntie Xie preparing the festival these past few days and didn’t have time to find you. I didn’t realize you’d run out of cookies; it’s my fault.”

“Once the festival is over, I’ll be free. Then, I’m going to ‘harass’ you every day. Eldest Miss better not find me annoying…”

Despite the layer of her robe between them, Xie Yin felt the fabric was like thin rice paper—once soaked in the water, it offered no barrier. She could clearly feel the softness and heat of the skin pressed against her.

It was so scorching. Both the person and the words.

“You… you know it’s harassment…” Xie Yin didn’t pull away from the overly warm embrace; her subconscious dragged her into indulging in it. “However, this Young Lady allows you to harass her…”

After saying it, she felt her face burning like fire, a sensation rapidly spreading to her ears and neck.

Really, why did I say that… this evil human is going to be so smug… Xie Yin covered her face with both hands like a startled ostrich, wishing she could bury her head in the ground.

Ji Yunfei was shocked by Xie Yin’s words, but her heart was immediately flooded with joy. She tightened the previously loose embrace, resting her head gently on Xie Yin’s shoulder: “Okay. Thank you, Eldest Miss, for giving me this chance…”

“I’ll definitely perform well. I won’t let your offer go to waste.”

“You better…” Xie Yin pouted, allowing herself to enjoy this gentle, restrained, yet incredibly secure embrace.

This Ji Yunfei looks soft and weak, but her embrace is so strong and reassuring…

“Alright, haven’t you hugged enough? Let go. If we don’t get out, we’re going to turn into prunes…” Realizing she had stayed in Ji Yunfei’s arms for too long, Xie Yin gave her a symbolic push.

“Okay, but…” Ji Yunfei looked at the faint blush still lingering on Xie Yin’s face and gave a wicked grin: “Are you planning to just watch me like that?”

As she expected, the moment she spoke, the redness on the girl’s face intensified. She huffed, pushed Ji Yunfei away with real force, and climbed onto the shore herself: “Who’s watching you! If you won’t come up, I’m going up myself!” She then pinched her fingers in a spell, and her wet, steaming clothes were instantly dried.

Seeing Xie Yin finish dressing and run off, Ji Yunfei shook her head helplessly, quickly rose from the spring, changed in a hurry, and followed.

This little ancestor, why is she still so easily teased…

In the end, Ji Yunfei had to fork out her entire net worth, presenting all the sweets she had brought to the Eldest Miss to finally coax her back into a good mood.

Having hit the jackpot, Xie Yin was in a great mood. Over the following days, her stubborn mouth showed signs of softening. In her words: “Having taken her things, my hands are short; having eaten her food, my mouth is soft.” Since Ji Yunfei was being so diligent, she couldn’t be too harsh.

So, the two lived in peace, each busy with their own tasks. Occasionally, Ji Yunfei would find a moment to “harass” the Eldest Miss, and the Eldest Miss accepted it all, feeling a secret joy in her heart.

In the blink of an eye, the day of the fireworks festival arrived.

In front of a large full-length mirror, Xie Yin was holding two sets of long robes, comparing them against herself, but even after a long time, she couldn’t decide. She looked at Huahua through the mirror: “Hua, should I wear this set, or this set?”

Huahua was still dazed, thinking about Ji Yunfei’s instructions, when she was suddenly called. She jumped: “Ah, ah! Boss, you’re naturally beautiful. You look good in anything. Clothes are just accessories for you. Even if you wore a trash bag, that trash bag would become next season’s fashion must-have…”

“You, you’re just as smooth-tongued as that Ji Yunfei.” Hearing Huahua’s words, Xie Yin pouted, her mind involuntarily conjuring the image of a certain someone’s pleasing smile.

That person promised to be with me, so why hasn’t she come to find me yet? Heh, she better not let me catch her chatting with other girls…

Once her thoughts began to wander, Xie Yin couldn’t stay calm. Feeling a bit irritable, she randomly picked the white and red set and put it on.

Xie Yin spun around in front of the mirror. The bright red skirt, resembling sunset clouds, fluttered in the air along with the embroidered narcissus flowers. It was stunning.

Feeling good about herself, Xie Yin nodded with satisfaction and sat down on a rattan chair. She brewed two cups of tea—one for herself and one for Huahua. While sipping, she asked as if casually: “Is Ji Yunfei very busy today too…?”

“Ah, ah… Master, she… uh…” Being asked about Ji Yunfei, Huahua felt her head grow two sizes larger. How was she supposed to tell Xie Yin that Ji Yunfei was playing the “push and pull” game?

Although she didn’t quite agree with Ji Yunfei’s approach, the other was dead set on it, saying it would create a bigger surprise. She couldn’t win the argument.

Ji Yunfei had run off happily after explaining the plan, leaving her here to be “interrogated.” Next time, she would definitely demand more bullfrogs from Ji Yunfei…

“Why are you stuttering?” Xie Yin saw Huahua’s hesitation and pressed further, her face darkening. “She isn’t going to stand me up today, is she?”

“No, no! Oh, Boss, don’t make it hard for me… Master comes and goes like a shadow. If you don’t know where she is, how would I?” Huahua wanted to cry. She didn’t want to annoy the little ancestor, but she couldn’t expose Ji Yunfei’s plan ahead of time. She was stuck between a rock and a hard place.

“Fine, fine. Forget it if you don’t know. Since I can’t find her now, I’ll wait for her to find me.” Knowing Huahua had a point, Xie Yin stopped pressing. She stood up and walked to the door, waving at Huahua: “Let’s go. You accompany me to the market first.”

As for that stinky Ji Yunfei—hmph, she definitely wouldn’t let her off easily. They agreed that today belonged to her, yet now there wasn’t even a trace of her?

Don’t tell her she’s busy with the festival—she’s not listening, she’s not listening!!

“Achoo—!” Meanwhile, in the market, Ji Yunfei, who was giving final instructions to the people of the Snake Den, suddenly sneezed. She rubbed her nose and thought: Could it be that Xie Yin misses me so much since she can’t see me?

Oh my, how embarrassing… Ji Yunfei giggled. Noticing the meaningful looks from those around her, she quickly straightened her face and said seriously: “The process will roughly be like that. I’ll have to trouble everyone to cooperate with me!!”

Saying this, she clapped her hands. A group of “Snake Babies” walked out behind her, each carrying two baskets of fresh bullfrogs. “These delicious bullfrogs are a small token of my appreciation. Everyone, please share them. If it’s not enough, I have more. Don’t be polite.”

Seeing the mountain of bullfrogs, everyone’s eyes lit up. After Ji Yunfei finished speaking, they scrambled to line up for the meat. Seeing everyone was satisfied, Ji Yunfei put her hands on her hips, feeling quite good.

With everyone’s cooperation, this time would surely give Xie Yin a surprise and move her. Hehe, she really was a little genius at creating surprises…

As she thought, Ji Yunfei’s nose was practically pointing to the sky until Xie Chu’s voice broke her self-satisfaction.

“Xiao Ji… I don’t want to bring you down, but are you sure A-Yin will fall for this?”
