Chapter 131: She’s a She-Wolf

Along the way, Lin Xue gave Shui Miao a general rundown of the situation.

Lin Xue was a straightforward person by nature, and she never lied to her friends—Shui Miao was no exception.

After learning the truth, Shui Miao was deeply shocked.

She never imagined that Lin Xue and the others had been secretly watching her all along. She was even aware of the visit from her godfather, Wang Yong, today, including every detour he had taken on the way. But what shocked Shui Miao the most was the revelation that Wang Yong had been trading the Wufang Plate with the Japanese. This exposed Wang’s true colors as a traitor, which Shui deeply despised. However, since Lin Xue had openly shared the truth with her, Shui Miao not only bore no grudge, but felt that Lin truly regarded her as a friend.

“Lin Jie, do you know how much Wang Yong sold the Wufang Plate for?”

“About a million, I think.”

“That little?”

“Yeah. The Wufang Plate is priceless, and Wang knows that. I guess he must have been desperate to sell it quickly, probably because we were closing in too fast.”

“Hmm, that makes sense. But still… I think that’s a high price.”

“A high price? What do you mean? Is there something wrong with the plate? Or did you damage it somehow?”

“It’s not broken, but the spiritual energy inside it has almost disappeared.”

“Spiritual energy?”

“Yeah, the kind of energy cultivators talk about. I think that might be the reason why the plate is so valuable.”

“So how did the spiritual energy get so low?”

“I absorbed it while I was practicing my cultivation techniques.”

“You sucked it out? With your mouth?”

“No, with my nose.”

“Uh…”

At this point, Lin Xue found herself at a loss for words. “Shui Miao, you’re not pulling my leg, are you? Are you seriously telling me you sucked the energy out of a stone with your nose?”

“Hehe, I know you won’t believe me, Lin Xue Jie, but I can assure you, everything I said is true.” Shui Miao had her own limits—she absolutely could not reveal the truth about the spiritual energy transforming into immortal energy. That would only bring trouble. After all, there were always bigger forces out there, and she might even be captured by some organization and experimented on like a lab rat.

“Alright then, I believe you. I know hard qigong is real, so maybe what you’re saying about cultivating energy could also be true.”

“Lin Jie, you still don’t believe me!”

“Hehe, I’m almost there…”

“Fine. Later, I’ll show you some real skills and catch that guy.”

“Deal! Once we catch him, I’ll believe you completely.”

“Pinkie promise!”

“Pinkie promise…”

As they were talking, Shui Miao and Lin Xue had already reached the edge of the vegetable garden. After walking about a hundred meters along the wall, Shui Miao’s walkie-talkie crackled to life with Li Lan’s voice: “We’re almost there. I saw a gun in his hand. Be careful.”

“Got it!”

Shui Miao glanced at Lin Xue. The walkie-talkie was loud enough for her to hear clearly.

“He has a gun, and so do I. If it weren’t for the Wufang Plate on him, I’d have shot him already.” Lin Xue whispered, “Turn down the volume on your walkie-talkie first. Follow me closely—we’ll sneak up on him and take him by surprise.”

Shui Miao raised a hand and gave an OK sign.

However, after Lin Xue had walked only about twenty meters ahead, Shui Miao sensed that An Peichunyi had detected her presence and was moving toward Jing Shui River. Shui Miao quickly grabbed Lin Xue and quietly informed her that the target was alert. Lin Xue didn’t believe her at first, so Shui Miao handed her the walkie-talkie. What Li Lan said was exactly what Shui Miao had sensed.

Seeing that Shui Miao could really sense the enemy’s movements, Lin Xue began to believe that Shui might actually possess real skills.

“So what do we do now?” Lin Xue whispered.

Shui Miao scratched her head and said, “I do have an idea, but I’m afraid you won’t dare to do it, Lin Xue Jie.”

“Pfft! Is there anything I wouldn’t dare to do?” Lin Xue scoffed.

Shui Miao raised her eyebrows and whispered, “I think the reason this guy bought the Wufang Plate is probably because he’s also a cultivator. He must have sensed my approach, which is why he’s alert. Now, if we pretend to be a couple sneaking out for a romantic tryst, maybe he’ll let his guard down.”

“Great idea! That’s exactly what I was thinking!”

Lin Xue’s eyes lit up and she greatly admired Shui Miao’s plan.

“Shhh!”

“Oh…”

Then the atmosphere grew quiet. Lin Xue looked at Shui Miao and suddenly frowned impatiently, “What are you waiting for? Put your arms around me! Right now, I’m your beloved woman. I’m giving it my all for this mission.”

“Jie, you’re such a real man!”

Hearing Lin Xue’s bold words, Shui Miao felt a bit awkward and couldn’t bring herself to act.

But Lin Xue was bold. She turned the tables by wrapping her arms around Shui Miao’s waist, standing on tiptoe, and giving her a fierce kiss, even letting out heavy breathing sounds.

“She planned this all along! Definitely planned it!”

“What a miscalculation! What a huge miscalculation!”

Shui Miao silently groaned, feeling like a helpless lamb as Lin Xue, like a fierce wolf, bit and licked her hungrily.

“Stop, Lin Jie…”

Shui Miao noticed Lin Xue’s hands were getting too adventurous and tried to resist.

But Lin Xue bit her lip and hummed, “Call me Xue’er…”

“…”

Shui Miao was deeply embarrassed, feeling like she was about to cry. This was no longer “Xue’er”—this was turning into a snow monster!

Human psychology is strange. Lin Xue had always been a tomboy from childhood, but after passionately kissing Shui Miao, she suddenly felt a strong sense of possession. In her mind, she was the man now, and Shui Miao was the woman. Under the combined influence of this strange psychology and hormonal impulses, Lin Xue’s actions grew increasingly wild, and her hands crossed the line, slipping straight into Shui Miao’s waistband!

At that moment, Shui Miao’s mental defenses completely collapsed!

“No way!”

Shui Miao struggled to pull her hand out…

“What’s the big deal? We’re not kids. We have to act convincing!”

Lin Xue seemed to have transformed. Uncharacteristically bold, she whispered something in Shui Miao’s ear and then threw herself into the act again. However, according to Shui Miao’s perception, An Peichunyi had paused and was now walking toward them, stretching his neck to peek. Seeing a couple passionately making out, An relaxed, glanced around, and decided to quietly sneak into the construction site to hide—he could probably stay safe for a few days there.

Sensing An’s movements, Shui Miao began to play along with Lin Xue’s affectionate act.

But the more Shui Miao played along, the more excited Lin Xue became. She started touching Shui Miao everywhere, and Shui couldn’t stop her. To Shui Miao’s shock, Lin Xue even began to take off her clothes! If she tried to break free now, An would notice something was wrong. To avoid detection while still controlling Lin Xue, Shui Miao suddenly grabbed her wrist firmly, pinned her against the wall, and pressed her body down.
