"Mo, Mo Xiaolan?"
Wu Yiren stared blankly at the spirited woman in front of her.
The womanâs features werenât perfect, but her heroic aura was particularly captivating, coupled with her tall stature and long legs.
Just standing there, she made people entranced; even as a woman, one couldnât help being charmed by her charisma.
But!
What she wanted was Brother Lan Yin!
Why did her Brother Lan Yin turn into a woman?!
Wu Yiren felt like her soul was about to shatter, dazedly looking at Mo Xiaolan, as if everything she experienced in the Zhenyang Sect turned into a dream.
The handsome, gentle Brother Lan Yin, the one with the warm smile, it was as if he never existed.
Could it be...everything was just my illusion?
"Yiren, are you okay?"
A soft voice came to her ears, somewhat like Brother Lan Yin, but much more delicate, undeniably a womanâs voice.
Mo Xiaolan untied the Immortal-Binding Rope on Wu Yiren and reached out to help her up, but Wu Yiren suddenly pushed her away.
The pretty and fierce little princess glared at her, her eyes bloodshot, like a wounded little beast ready to devour her, shrieking:
"Give me back my Brother Lan Yin!!"
Mo Xiaolan was full of apologies: "Iâm sorry, Yiren, I turned into a man to avoid being recognized, not to deceive you intentionally."
"But then many things happened, and we had no choice but to continue."
At that time, saving Si Minglan by approaching Wu Yiren was the quickest and most effective way.
Compared to Si Minglanâs life, deceiving Wu Yirenâs feelings didnât matter much.
Mo Xiaolan originally wanted to tell her the truth, but now she was straightforward and decisive.
However, seeing Wu Yiren so broken and sad, Mo Xiaolan felt a bit distressed too.
"Youâre lying!"
Wu Yiren cried with tears streaming down her face, shouting hoarsely:
"You must have hidden Brother Lan Yin somewhere, hand him over! Or Iâll kill you!"
Mo Xiaolan said helplessly: "Yiren, stop deceiving yourself, you know Lan Yin doesnât exist, I was pretending."
"No! I donât believe it!"
Wu Yiren rushed at Mo Xiaolan, golden light emanating from her body, with a Golden Dragon appearing, charging towards Mo Xiaolan!
Mo Xiaolan stood still, making no move.
"Ah!" Wu Yiren screamed, retracting her cultivation technique, collapsing at Mo Xiaolanâs feet.
She hugged Mo Xiaolanâs leg, sobbing and pleading: "Brother Lan Yin, could you change back? As long as you change back, we can pretend nothing happened, okay?"
Mo Xiaolan sighed, squatting down to help Wu Yiren up:
"Yiren, even if I change back to Lan Yin, you know Iâm a woman, weâre both women, it wonât work out, forget Lan Yin."
"Youâre a princess, with many talented young men to choose from, why persist with someone who doesnât exist?"
"No!" Wu Yirenâs eyes were bloodshot, staring intensely at Mo Xiaolan:
"You are Lan Yin! Youâre pretending to be a woman, right?!"
Her hand reached for Mo Xiaolan, Mo Xiaolan hesitated, but ultimately didnât push her away, allowing Wu Yiren to place her hand on her chest.
A moment later.
Wu Yiren dumbly lowered her hand, looking down at her own chest, murmuring:
"Bigger than mine..."
She sat on the ground in despair, eyes vacant, like a soulless doll.
Mo Xiaolan was momentarily at a loss, though Zuoqiu was heavily injured and fled, but could not guarantee he wouldnât return unexpectedly, naturally she couldnât leave Wu Yiren here alone.
Mo Xiaolan simply sat down, closed her eyes, and cultivated.
Earlier, letting herself be swallowed by Qiongqi was actually a gamble.
In Xingluo Town, she had also been swallowed by Chang Shengzi, who had cultivated the Celestial Beast Scroll into an Earth Mole.
Then the residual bones fused into her exploded, shattering Chang Shengzi.
At that time, Mo Xiaolan only had one bone within her, later in a ruined temple beside Zhentang Mountain near Xingluo Town, another bone, suspected to be Sheng Tanglianâs, entered her body.
Subsequently, Mo Xiaolan was chased by people from the Celestial Fall Sect, fighting and cultivating all the way, both bones completely integrated into her body.
Mo Xiaolan speculated that whenever she was in danger, these two bones should reveal their power.
Therefore, she was desperately letting Qiongqi swallow her first.
Fortunately, she gambled correctly.
These two bones indeed unleashed their might, severely injuring Qiongqi.
However, this tremendous power also exposed Mo Xiaolanâs true female form, seen by Wu Yiren.
Mo Xiaolan had never been in such a situation before, not knowing what to do.
She could only silently accompany Wu Yiren.
The two sat on the ground, one cultivating with closed eyes, the other staring blankly.
It wasnât clear how much time passed, when Mo Xiaolanâs beautiful eyes suddenly opened, "Someoneâs coming!"
She immediately transformed back into Lan Yinâs appearance, and in the next moment, a man ran out from the woods, seeing Wu Yiren, he was overjoyed:
"Your Highness, Iâve finally found you!"
Mo Xiaolan slightly furrowed her brow: "Si Mingcheng?"
It was indeed Si Mingcheng, previously when Cheng Qingyu suddenly erupted into killing, in panic, he used the Thousand-Mile Talisman to escape.
Only afterward did he remember that he left the princess behind, knowing that if he returned alone to the Western Emperor Palace, he would certainly be executed.
Therefore, Si Mingcheng hurriedly returned to look for Wu Yiren, but at that time he had already flown a thousand miles away, having to rush back overnight.
His legs were almost broken, finally returning near Sun and Moon Mountain, searching all around.
Seeing the Demonic Beastâs aura rise to the sky just now, he hurried over, finally finding the princess.
Hearing his voice, Wu Yiren raised her head woodenly, her eyes dull, without any expression.
Si Mingcheng quickly moved forward, kneeling in terror: "Your Highness, are you frightened!"
Wu Yiren still did not respond, Si Mingcheng raised his head, showing a look of astonishment, then looked at Mo Xiaolan, his face unfriendly:
"What did you do to the princess?!"
"Uh....." Mo Xiaolan opened her mouth, then said after a moment:
"We encountered people from the Celestial Fall Sect, Yiren was a bit frightened."
Si Mingcheng was half-convinced, quickly moving forward to continue calling to Wu Yiren: "Princess, princess! Are you alright?"
He called for a long time, finally Wu Yirenâs pupils regained focus, looking puzzled: "Commander Si, why are you here?"
Si Mingcheng hurriedly said: "Iâve been searching for the princess, God is kind, I finally found you! What exactly happened?"
Wu Yiren suddenly turned to look at Mo Xiaolan, only to see she had transformed back into Lan Yinâs appearance, her eyes reddened: "You, you..."
Mo Xiaolanâs heart tightened, would Wu Yiren reveal her secret of disguising as a man?
This Si Mingcheng was not a good person, if he knew she was Mo Xiaolan, things would get problematic.
Wu Yiren looked at Mo Xiaolan, suddenly threw herself into her arms, and burst into tears:
"Brother Lan Yin, youâre finally back!"
