Simultaneous Transmigration: Freedom Across the Heavens

Chapter 96 Three People in One Shadow and Loneliness

The afterglow of the setting sun spilled across the courtyard.

Ouyang Qing's hair was disheveled, her fair forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat, and her cheeks were flushed so deeply that her skin was pink, just like a ripe peach.

As the dazed look in her eyes faded, Ouyang Qing bit down on Bai Li's shoulder, leaving two rows of small teeth marks.

"It's all your fault! I told you to close the door, but you wouldn't. Now look what happened! Eighth Sister must have seen everything. How am I supposed to face her now?" Ouyang Qing said angrily, her voice tinged with a hint of grievance.

Bai Li casually pulled over a piece of clothing to cover the two of them, and stroked her smooth back with his large hand.

"How would I know Xue Bing would come back? Didn't you say she went to find Lu Xiaofeng?"

"Eighth Sister is going to find Lu Xiaofeng to settle things with him." Ouyang Qing pointed at him with her finger.

"Are you satisfied now? I think I'll become true sisters with Eighth Sister sooner or later; she's seen everything!"

Bai Li's hand tightened subconsciously, then he awkwardly touched his nose.

A look of amazement flashed in Ouyang Qing's eyes. Was he really that excited to hear the word "sister"? She gently placed her jade-like hand on Bai Li's waist and said reproachfully, "Let me tell you, don't even think about it."

Bai Li chuckled foolishly without saying a word, thinking to himself: "You won't have a choice then."

As dawn was breaking, Ouyang Qing finished washing and dressing. She spent a long time tidying herself up in front of the mirror before finally mustering the courage to walk to Xue Bing's room and gently knock on the door: "Eighth Sister, come out for dinner."

"You're here." Xue Bing's soft voice rang out from the room. She opened the door, her face still flushed, her head lowered, her eyes darting away, and she obediently followed behind Ouyang Qing, not daring to look at her.

At the dinner table, the three of them ate their food in silence, creating a somewhat awkward atmosphere.

Ouyang Qing and Xue Bing occasionally exchanged glances, but both looked away shyly.

Bai Li gripped his chopsticks, his mind racing. This won't do. It's only the two of them, and they're already at an impasse. What about Ling Shan and others later on?

Bai Li asked casually, "Eighth Sister, did you go to find Lu Xiaofeng?"

Xue Bing looked up and quickly said, "Yes, he and I have already become sworn siblings."

Ouyang Qing's eyes widened. Was Eighth Sister really this decisive? She put down her chopsticks and asked curiously, "Lu Xiaofeng, did he agree?"

Xue Bing blushed, touched her braid, and said, "He hesitated for a while, then agreed."

Bai Li understood perfectly. Lu Xiaofeng was a man who cherished women, so naturally he wouldn't refuse Xue Bing's request. If it were him, he would have rushed up and given her a hug and kiss, and maybe they could have eaten abalone that night. Why would he be so hesitant?

Seeing that the atmosphere had warmed up, Bai Li asked again, "By the way, why didn't your eldest sister get involved in Jin Jiuling's matter?"

Ouyang Qing gently shook her head: "I don't know. My eldest sister has been acting very mysteriously these past two years, and we rarely see her."

"

Xue Bing's eyes gleamed as she leaned closer, her voice excited, "Fourth Sister, do you think Eldest Sister has a man?"

Ouyang Qing immediately became interested, and the shyness on her face faded a bit. She quickly asked, "Why do you say that?"

Xue Bing looked around furtively, making sure Bai Li wasn't eavesdropping (in fact, Bai Li could hear everything clearly).

She said, "Haven't you noticed that several times when we get together, my older sister looks like she's in love?"

"Your older sister always disguises herself at gatherings, how did you figure it out?"

"You can disguise your face, but your eyes don't lie." Xue Bing proudly raised her jade-like fingers.

"I've been practicing acupuncture with my mother-in-law since I was little, so I have a keen eye. I couldn't hide the shyness in my older sister's eyes from me."

Ouyang Qing seemed to have spotted some big news and immediately sat down next to Xue Bing: "Really? Tell me more."

Indeed, the eight-legged essay is the best bridge to bring people closer together.

Bai Li pondered whether he should get some melons to store for later use in breaking the ice.

As for Lady Gongsun, it's impossible for her not to be interested.

After all, in the original story, the honest monk said that the four beauties of the martial arts world combined were not even one-tenth as good as her. I really want to see it.

The summer sun is blazing during the day and the air is scorching hot at night.

But in Hongfengling, on the outskirts of Beijing, the sky is high and the air is crisp, with a stream flowing gently down, carrying away the summer heat.

At the summit of the mountain stands a pavilion called Red Glow Pavilion.

The pavilion has five floors, with a bluestone base and red brick walls. The main structure is built with high-quality pine wood, giving it an antique feel. The eaves are covered with bells, which make a crisp tinkling sound when a breeze blows.

On the top floor of the Red Cloud Pavilion, Gongsun Lan's clothes were undone, the lingering charm on her cheeks still present. Her jade-like body lay sprawled out, her long, jade-like legs slightly bent, revealing a large, full, snow-white mound.

Her fingers gently stroked her lover's face.

Looking up, she saw that her lover's weapon of mass destruction was even more formidable than she herself.

A face that could launch a thousand ships; a figure with exquisite curves;

It was none other than Dongfang Bai, the invincible and peerless master of martial arts.

Dongfang Bai lay reclining on the couch, his skin as fair and lustrous as Gongsun Lan's, as if it could be squeezed to release water. The two nestled together, creating a breathtaking scene.

Dongfang Bai, looking weary, gently raised her hand and stroked Gongsun Lan's hair: "Lan'er, I just arrived in the capital and heard that you've encountered some trouble. Do you need me to help you resolve it?"

Gongsun Lan shook her head lazily, "No need, it's all taken care of, nothing serious."

Dongfang Bai lifted her chin and gently touched her lips: "Lan'er is still as decisive as ever."

Gongsun Lan giggled and covered her mouth, saying, "I didn't make this. It was Bai Li from the Huashan Sect. Speaking of which, he's the fourth brother's lover."

"Bai Li!" Upon hearing this name, Dongfang Bai's eyes sparkled, her tone alluring yet not coquettish: "He killed Yingying. One of the things I did for coming to Kyoto this time was to settle a score with him."

"Ren Yingying, she's dead?" Gongsun Lan asked in confusion.

"Hmm." A look of nostalgia flashed across Dongfang Bai's face. Then he got up from the bed, pulled a red gauze over his head to cover up the infinite beauty, and slowly walked to the terrace to look out at the mountains.

Gongsun Lan, also draped in red gauze, walked to her side, took her hand, and said, "So, what do you plan to do with him?"

In Gongsun Lan's mind, Dongfang Bai might not be invincible, but dealing with a greenhorn like Bai Li who had only been in the martial arts world for less than a year was a piece of cake!

Dongfang Bai's eyes lit up with interest as he said, "What, are you interested in him?"

Gongsun Lan rolled her eyes at her and said, "Get lost. I'm just afraid that the fourth brother will come to me crying every day."

"Hehehe..." Dongfang Bai wrapped his arms around her slender waist and pulled her into his embrace: "I know what I'm doing."

The last rays of sunlight streamed down onto the terrace of the Red Cloud Pavilion. Two stunningly beautiful women, draped in thin gauze, appeared and disappeared in the gentle breeze. As the red gauze fluttered, it revealed glimpses of enchanting beauty.

Unfortunately, no one appreciates this beautiful scenery.

Two days passed in the blink of an eye, and Lu Xiaofeng was drunk for two days.

Bai Li, Ouyang Qing, and Xue Bing were inseparable and their relationship grew increasingly harmonious, filled with laughter and joy.

Lu Xiaofeng, however, was all alone, spending his days drinking at the Lion Tower until he was completely drunk and unconscious, at which point a waiter would take him to his room.

This can't be blamed on him, after all, Lu Xiaofeng had genuine feelings for Xue Bing. But now, on the surface, Xue Bing has become his sworn sister, but in reality, they will never even see each other again.

A decent adult is one who knows how to behave and knows when to stop.

Of course, this kind of decorum does not include Bai Li. He is shameless; if he wants something, he will do anything to get it, and he has no idea what the word "sensible" means.

Room A in the Lion Building.

Lu Xiaofeng shook his head and sat up from the bed with difficulty, reaching out to pound his lower back.

"That's strange, I was clearly drunk, so why does my back hurt?"

"That's because when you were drunk, you insisted on having a backbend contest with Sikong, and you almost broke your back."

Lu Xiaofeng could tell who was speaking just by hearing their voice.

"Hua Manlou, what brings you here?"

Lu Xiaofeng looked up and saw Hua Manlou, dressed in a moon-white robe, sitting upright at the round table. His eyes were lifeless, but one could see a gentleness in the contours of his eyes.

And there was Sikong Zhaixing, who was lying in a rocking chair, having a great time, the old rocking chair creaking and groaning.

Hua Manlou's expression was always so gentle, as if he radiated sunshine, but the words he spoke made Lu Xiaofeng break out in a cold sweat.

"The duel is in three days, but Ximen Chuixue has disappeared."
