This Is My Planet - Chapter 124 - Chapter 124 – Having An Affair
It wasn’t clear what Xiao Jiu had discussed with her family members after going offline, but Xia Guixuan didn’t dwell on such matters.
Either he personally went to the capital to keep an eye on the Head of State’s residence for investigation, or he quietly waited for Xiao Jiu’s message to cooperate. Having a cluttered mind wouldn’t do any good. Xia Guixuan received the information, chose to trust Gongsun Jiu’s capabilities, and didn’t think much about it, spending the night meditating at the mountaintop.
These days, his cultivation had yielded some results, making it worth it to meditate and reflect.
When certain shells are cracked open, they either heal or reshape.
Xia Guixuan knew he was on the path of reshaping, and he was willing to try change. As for what form it would take… no one knew.
Perhaps he still lacked a mold, a defining moment to solidify the direction of his transformation… Xia Guixuan had a premonition that when this moment arrived, his injuries would be fully healed, and he wouldn’t feel this persistent sense of weakness anymore.
If he were at his peak, that young demon hiding in the void rift, and the current residence of the head of state, wouldn’t have made him so cautious. But the current situation, entering the unknown territory of others, still called for caution.
He also had a premonition that the day of recovery wouldn’t be far off.
When he opened his eyes, daylight had already brightened the sky. In front of him was the familiar sensation of being watched again—another nano-drone.
Xia Guixuan acted as if he hadn’t noticed, and with a thought, the drone automatically malfunctioned and flew into his pocket.
In no time, Yin Xiaoru came wobbling over on her flying handkerchief. As soon as she landed, she frantically began searching the area.
Xia Guixuan asked casually, “What’s wrong?”
“Uh, uh…” Yin Xiaoru felt embarrassed to admit that her spying had evolved from using a telescope to employing drones, so she forced a smile. “I think I might have dropped something here earlier. Don’t mind me, I’ll just look for it myself.”
“Do you want me to ask Fat Tiger to help?” Xia Guixuan offered.
“No, no need…” Yin Xiaoru crawled around on the grass, muttering unconsciously, “My drone… where’s my drone…”
Xia Guixuan’s forehead throbbed with a vein, and he finally couldn’t help but point out, “A nano-machine, and you’re trying to find it with your eyes while lying on the ground?”
“I have a magnetic scanner… huh?” Yin Xiaoru suddenly realized, raising her head to glare at him, “How do you know it’s a nano-machine?”
“If you had asked Yan Wuyue, you wouldn’t have used something like this to spy on me.” Xia Guixuan was quite sympathetic, “How much did it cost you to buy this special device?”
“I didn’t spend any money… No, this was something Yan Wuyue lent me to play with.” Yin Xiaoru bared her teeth, “Give it back! I can’t afford to lose military equipment!”
“Hold on… Could you stand up before baring your teeth?”
The atmosphere suddenly grew quiet.
Yin Xiaoru was crawling on the grass searching for something, and at this moment, she was facing Xia Guixuan. What kind of posture was this?
And she was baring her teeth…
Yin Xiaoru’s mind went blank for a moment, feeling unable to look straight.
In the distance, Fat Tiger peeked it’s head out to watch. This woman is really strange. I’m already standing up, but she insists on lying down. Is this posture attractive?
“Ahhhh!” Yin Xiaoru jumped up, angrily embarrassed, and wanted to leave the mountain. “Yan Wuyue, I’m going to fight you!”
“I advised you not to use the drone, but you insisted. Now you want to blame me?” Yan Wuyue appeared at the mountain’s edge, crossing her arms, “But that posture just now wasn’t bad. I noticed the man’s eyes were fixed on you. I suggest you try it again in a different setting—it might work wonders.”
“Shame on you!” Yin Xiaoru was furious. “Why should I use such a vulgar posture? Why don’t you try it?”
Yan Wuyue blinked her eyes, not responding to this. Her bright eyes seemed to sweep over Xia Guixuan unintentionally, then casually glanced at Yin Xiaoru, with a look in her eyes that said, “You’re the one who suggested it,” teasing her mercilessly.
Xia Guixuan’s expression was rather subtle. After leaving the land of flame origin, seeing Yan Wuyue again, especially when she was around Yin Xiaoru and subtly flirting, made him feel a strange taste that couldn’t be described.
It feels like an affair?
Seeing Yin Xiaoru about to explode with embarrassment, it’s evident that this fox, who claims to be charming, isn’t as flirtatious as she imagines. Xia Guixuan was afraid she would burst, so he intervened to change the subject, “General Yan, why do you have time to come here today? Do you have another military mission?”
“One is to bring you the motorbike that was previously approved by the military department…”
“I almost forgot about this… isn’t it too inefficient to deliver it only after I don’t want to use it anymore?”
“It hasn’t been that long. We were out fighting, and it was actually delivered a couple of days ago… But yes, the logistics from General Command are a bit slow. It’s the Marshal’s people; they can be a hassle.” Yan Wuyue gave him a curious look. “You get bored of things pretty quickly, don’t you? When you first applied for it, you were pestering me eight hundred times a day. Now you’re saying you don’t want it?”
“Ahem…” Xia Guixuan coughed twice, didn’t engage in this banter, and asked, “Is this one thing, or is there something else?”
“The other thing is, I applied to go to Donglin, but the Deputy Marshal rejected it, saying there was nothing to do in Donglin and it’s better to stay in the capital. But I have nothing to do in the capital, can’t I take a break and hang out with Xiaoru?”
“…Alright.”
Xia Guixuan felt that she wasn’t here to hang out with Yin Xiaoru, and who she was really here for was up for debate… Of course, he wouldn’t say that, so he simply replied, “Come on, let me treat you both to some tea.”
At a stone table in a pavilion, the three of them sat together as Xia Guixuan leisurely brewed tea.
The small round stone table had them sitting in a triangle, each less than a foot apart. They were close enough to touch each other with just a slight movement.
Both women rested their chins on their hands and watched Xia Guixuan make tea.
There was an ethereal quality to his movements, a sense that every gesture was in harmony with the Dao, both beautiful and profound. It was like the dance Xia Guixuan had once performed with Yin Xiaoru—one that the young men and women of Sangyu still dreamed about from time to time.
It’s as if it’s imprinted on the soul.
Yan Wuyue thought to herself, whether or not he’s the so-called Divine Creator, any man who reaches a certain level of cultivation can probably exert a dimensional suppression on women. His aura and charm are just too powerful. It wouldn’t be right to call him a walking aphrodisiac, but it’s far too easy for him to win someone’s initial affection.
To resist this, a woman would have to be a cultivator herself, with a mindset as clear as ice.
In fact, her resistance to Xia Guixuan had grown stronger than before. After comprehending the essence of fire, she was a bit closer to the Dao, and her feelings had become less mundane. Can a ball of fire produce love? No. Although she hadn’t reached that level, she was naturally moving in that direction.
And this origin of fire belongs to this planet originally, it doesn’t have much to do with the Divine Creator, so her resistance has become stronger.
With her current state of mind, when she looks at him, he doesn’t feel as heart-fluttering as before.
Coupled with her relationship with Yin Xiaoru, Yan Wuyue felt she could truly walk away without ever looking back and completely sever that indulgent relationship.
But inevitably, she would also think, was Yin Xiaoru’s situation even worse than hers had been? Is this fox really in love with Xia Guixuan, despite her affectionate behavior?
Or was she affected as if by a love potion? Should she be warned? Or maybe tested?
While she was lost in thought, Xia Guixuan had already poured tea for everyone and smiled, “Sorry, little fox, even though even the Deputy Marshal loves your drinks, I still prefer tea.”
Yan Wuyue thought to herself, that’s not what you should be apologizing to the little fox for…
Xia Guixuan gave her a glare.
Yan Wuyue turned her head away.
Yin Xiaoru didn’t notice their exchange and took the tea cup, grumbling, “This tea would be considered a luxury item outside because it’s imbued with spiritual energy. Normally, people have to import it from the divine descendants, and it’s really expensive.”
She muttered, “Other people’s boyfriends would share the same things with their girlfriends. If you don’t want to drink our own drinks, it’s fine, but at least share some fairy tea with me. Can’t I share the same brand with you?”
Xia Guixuan was taken aback, looking at her pouting little face holding the cup, he didn’t know what to say.
Yan Wuyue took the opportunity to sow discord, “I’ve seen some people who claim to be boyfriends, but they actually don’t care about their girlfriends’ business at all. A bit of spiritual tea could easily open up a high-end market for your company.”
Yin Xiaoru looked on the verge of tears, “Yeah, this scumbag even cuddles and kisses other women.”
Xia Guixuan: “…”
Yan Wuyue’s face turned a bit green. Although she knew Yin Xiaoru was referring to Ling Moxue, it felt like she had been caught in the crossfire. Not only was Ling Moxue not clinging to him, but she also hadn’t tried to remove his robe…
But she couldn’t let on, so she forced herself to agree, “So, did you really break up with him as you said? If you ask me, it’s better to stay away from such unreliable men…”
Xia Guixuan finally couldn’t hold back, “The so-called fairy tea doesn’t need me to provide anything, because the spiritual energy covers the entire ecological garden. As long as it’s tea trees from this ecological garden, they are all fairy tea, and you can do this business anytime. Not to mention, I already use it myself. But I still suggest not considering the high-end market. Little fox, haven’t you worked hard enough? Money is endless to earn, take more rest, and focus more on cultivation, right?”
Yin Xiaoru was very pleased in her heart. He actually cares about how tired I am from working!
Feeling delighted, the protective instinct kicked in, and she glanced at Yan Wuyue, saying, “Some people, without boyfriends of their own, criticize other people’s boyfriends.”
“Puff!” Xia Guixuan and Yan Wuyue both sprayed out the tea.
Coughing, Yan Wuyue choked, feeling smoke coming out of her seven orifices. Wasn’t it you who started criticizing him first? I just chimed in a bit. How did it end up with me being scolded?
I can’t keep this brain-damaged husky as my best friend anymore!
Seeing Xia Guixuan also laughing and spraying tea, Yan Wuyue’s courage grew, and her hand reached under the table, lightly resting on his leg.
Xia Guixuan’s face turned green.
What are you doing?
It would be one thing if it felt like a secret affair, but you’re really doing it directly?
Yan Wuyue’s voice transmission came at the right time, “I’m just getting back at this brainless friend… As for you… If you’re afraid she’ll find out, it means you like her. In the flame land, you claim not to want to be tied down, but it’s just a joke. If you’re not afraid she’ll find out, it means you don’t really care about her feelings. In that case, I suggest you end it soon and stop causing harm. So, do you want to test your own heart?”
