Chapter 151: Chapter 148: A Beautiful Accident
As soon as the words fell, Mo Qing gently closed her eyes. A wave of Primordial Power emanated from her body. The still, windless grass ford a vortex that spread outward with the flow of power. Her body began to manifest specks of crystalline blue light. These specks multiplied, quickly enveloping her entire body. From the outside, Mo Qing now looked like a crystal sculpture.
A mont later, Mo Qing, wrapped in the points of light, suddenly grew ten centiters. With a crisp KRAK, the crystal sculpture enveloping her flickered. All the points of light seed to have been hit by a massive force, violently blasting away from her body. Imdiately after, a perfect figure descended from the air, landing steadily on the ground.
This was a young woman—or, to be more precise, an unrivaled beauty. Even Mu Bingling was stunned when she saw the young woman’s face. Her once-pinned-up black hair now lay silky smooth against her back, with two thick locks framing her cheeks. Her flawless face, which could only be described as perfect, was without a trace of makeup. One glance at her large, limpid eyes was enough to captivate anyone, making it impossible to look away, as if they held a thousand emotions that beckoned one to linger. Her small, pink lips were slightly pursed, forming a breathtaking curve.
Such a woman was actually on par with Mu Bingling in terms of appearance. If one were to judge by approachability, this young woman even surpassed Mu Bingling, for her every movent exuded a gentle and virtuous aura. A woman like this was the dream partner for countless n.
"So this is your real appearance? Heavens, the difference is just too great." Mu Bingling’s mouth fell slightly agape in a rather cute way, her blue eyes shining with astonishnt.
"Mhm, this is the first ti I’ve returned to my original form at the academy." Mo Qing smiled sweetly, a blush creeping onto her fair cheeks as she spoke shyly, "Will I... cause trouble looking like this?"
Without a second thought, Mu Bingling replied, "You will!"
’Even I feel the urge to protect her, let alone the other guys.’
"Then... will Mu Chen like
like this?" Mo Qing asked nervously, unaware that her anxious expression was all the more endearing.
Mu Bingling shook her head. "That... I’m not sure. Mu Chen seems especially dense when it cos to romance. Or rather, his mind is completely focused on Cultivation, to the point that he’s indifferent to matters of the heart. But, as long as you genuinely like him, I think he’ll eventually feel it. Besides, you’re so lovely and pitiable; I refuse to believe that kid could be *that* dense."
When Mo Qing first saw Mu Bingling shake her head, she thought she was going to say Mu Chen wouldn’t like her, but her spirits lifted after hearing the rest.
"Honestly, you don’t have to hide your face anymore. I’m sure Mu Chen won’t let other guys harass you, even if it’s just as a friend," Mu Bingling suggested.
Mo Qing wasn’t worried about all that at the mont. With the sweet deanor of a little sister obeying her big sister, she smiled, nodded, and said, "Mhm, Senior Bingling..."
"Still calling
Senior?" Mu Bingling blinked, feigning displeasure.
Mo Qing froze for a mont, then her face flushed red again. In a small voice, she said, "Sister... Actually, Mo Qing is my given na. My family na is Xuan. Xuan Moqing."
Watching Mo Qing’s receding figure, Mu Bingling murmured, ’Xuan Moqing... Her family na is Xuan...’
The night gradually deepened, and the lake remained as calm as ever. After Mo Qing left, Mu Bingling also departed and returned to the Holy Hall. As everyone habitually entered a state of Cultivation at night to absorb Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi, the academy was exceptionally peaceful. Mo Qing’s figure leaped swiftly through the night, and she returned to her dormitory in less than ten minutes.
The dormitory was silent. Mo Qing moved cautiously through several turns before finally reaching her room. She let out a deep breath. She still felt a bit awkward using her real appearance at the academy, but she had already made up her mind. ’Do I really have to be this worried and fearful just for using my own face?’ Biting her lip, Mo Qing closed her door and entered the bathroom. A mont later, the sound of bathing could be heard from inside.
anwhile, Mu Chen was in his room playing with the Snow Qilin. Or rather than playing, it was more like he was using the Snow Qilin for speed training. This was sothing he had discovered while bathing earlier: the Snow Qilin, like his original Sun and Moon Immortal Spirit, possessed an ability that was almost like Instant Teleportation.
"YIP YIP..."
The Snow Qilin chirped happily twice, dodging Mu Chen’s hand with a flash and rushing toward the door. Without any visible action, it simply let out a cry, and the door clicked open. The Snow Qilin then zipped out of the room, no longer content with playing this ga with Mu Chen indoors.
Mu Chen chuckled, bent his body, squatted down, and shot out after it. Using the walls for leverage, he quickly caught up to the Snow Qilin as it scurried down the hallway. Seeing Mu Chen about to catch it, the Snow Qilin panicked and, in its desperation, charged headfirst toward Mo Qing’s residence, Room 202.
"YEEP!"
The Snow Qilin glanced back and saw Mu Chen’s hand about to grab it. It let out a panicked cry, and imdiately, the door to Room 202 clicked open. This wasn’t because Mo Qing had forgotten to lock the door, but because the Snow Qilin possessed the innate ability to ignore Seals and Barriers. A door lock was also a type of Seal, so with the Snow Qilin’s cry, the door naturally opened, and it darted through the doorway in a flash.
Mu Chen was hot on its heels and plunged in right after it without a chance to react. Before he could even see where the Snow Qilin had gone, he crashed headfirst into soone’s embrace. Then, he heard the door click shut behind him. It turned out the Snow Qilin hadn’t moved far after entering; instead, it had waited for Mu Chen to co in before quickly zipping back out and shutting the door, a surefire way to slow him down.
But at that mont, Mu Chen clearly had no ti to worry about where the Snow Qilin was, because he realized he was pressing his entire body down on top of soone.
"Ah!"
Mo Qing was on the verge of tears. She had just gotten out of the bathroom and was about to go to sleep when suddenly, a figure burst in from outside and pinned her onto the bed. But when an angry Mo Qing got a clear look at the intruder, she was so surprised she forgot to scream.
’Mu Chen... How could it be him?’ Mo Qing thought to herself.
Mu Chen finally snapped back to his senses. He looked up, and his gaze was instantly captivated. Before him was a girl so beautiful it was breathtaking, her looks in no way inferior to Mu Bingling’s. ’But isn’t this Mo Qing’s room? Who is this girl?’
He stared at the girl, and the girl stared back at him. Apparently, having been pinned by Mu Chen for a while, Mo Qing’s brow furrowed in pain. Mu Chen froze, then stamred, "Th-that... uh... I’m... I’m s-s...orry!"
Mo Qing said irritably, "Well, hurry up and get off!"
Mu Chen froze again, then quickly said, "Oh, oh... oh."
With that, Mu Chen scrambled to his feet. He stood to the side with his head down in a panic, his left hand moving from behind his back to in front of him, as if it were a spare limb he didn’t know what to do with.
Mo Qing found Mu Chen’s behavior amusing. A girl like her didn’t fall for soone easily, but once she did, she was completely devoted. So, after realizing the one who had taken advantage of her was Mu Chen, she didn’t feel much of anything. Such is the mindset of soone in love. Quickly adjusting her sleepwear, Mo Qing looked at Mu Chen and said, "Captain Mu Chen, what were you trying to do, barging into my dorm room at night?"
"Huh?" Mu Chen cried out in surprise. Only two girls called him Captain Mu Chen: Ye Shuangshuang and Mo Qing. But the woman in front of him was clearly much taller and looked completely different from either of them. "You... you are?"
Mo Qing covered her mouth to hide a giggle. She knew Mu Chen would react this way. Her large, limpid eyes were full of mirth as she said with a slight curl of her lips, "Take a guess who I am."
Mu Chen actually did raise his head. Since Mo Qing was a bit afraid of the dark, she had a habit of sleeping with a light on. Aided by the light, Mu Chen got a clear view of the young woman before him. She was dressed in a white sleeping robe that snugly enveloped her perfect, slender figure. Long, black hair was draped silkily over her back. A faint smile graced her perfect face, gentle and graceful... with just a hint of shyness.
"This aura... Mo—Mmph!" Mu Chen exclaid. He had just cried out a single syllable when Mo Qing’s small, fair hand shot out and covered his mouth.
Mo Qing gave Mu Chen a reproachful look and whispered, "Idiot, are you trying to get Little Tiger, Shuangshuang, and Qing Lei over here?"
