Beauties in Simulation Cross over into Reality - Chapter 252 - 230: It Turns Out, All of This Was Fake

Chapter 252: Chapter 230: It Turns Out, All of This Was Fake

A few days after they started traveling with Xiao Mo, Si Li began to frequently and casually pull at her collar in front of him.

Her pale, delicate hand would fan air into her neckline, revealing a hint of snowy, delicate skin.

At night, Si Li would lift her skirt, exposing a pair of smooth, slender legs. Then, pointing her toes, she would gently apply White Jade Ointment, a cream that made skin even more supple.

Sometimes, she would even let out soft moans in her sleep, leaving one to wonder what she was dreaming about.

Usually, at this point, Xiao Mo would pick up a stone and toss it at Si Li, hitting her squarely on the back of the head. Only then would she quiet down.

One day, as the three of them were walking across a plain, a sudden downpour broke the clear weather.

Xiao Mo and Wangxin used their Spiritual Power to shield themselves from the wind and rain, but Si Li alone intentionally let herself get soaked.

Her hair was drenched, clinging to her forehead. Glistening raindrops slid slowly down Si Li’s pale cheeks, tracing a path over her fair chin, flowing past her long, swan-like neck and across her delicate collarbones, before finally converging in the ravine of the Zishan Snow Sea.

Her dress clung tightly to the graceful curves of her body, and the underbodice beneath the light gauze was faintly visible.

One could even faintly see what was beneath the underbodice…

Wangxin quickly stepped in front of Xiao Mo, covering his eyes.

“What are you doing?” Xiao Mo asked.

“You can’t… you can’t look…” Wangxin said, her cheeks blushing.

“It’s fine, little sister Wangxin. I don’t mind. Young Master Xiao can look all he wants,” Si Li teased from the side.

But Wangxin just shook her head.

“Alright, stop it.”

Xiao Mo pulled Wangxin’s small hands away and used Magic to dry Si Li’s clothes.

After rapping Wangxin on the head, Xiao Mo continued walking, his voice reaching Si Li’s ears.

“If you strike another seductive pose in front of me, you can get lost.”

“Don’t be angry, Young Master. I was wrong. I only let you see, no one else can…”

Si Li hurriedly chased after him with a teasing tone, but the glint of Xiao Mo’s blade flashed past, striking the ground by her feet.

Looking at the gash cut into the earth, a cold sweat broke out on Si Li’s brow.

She had a stronger feeling now: if she tried to seduce him again, he would genuinely cut her down with a single strike.

In comparison…

Si Li looked at Saintess Miaolian, whose beauty was like that of a celestial fairy, following beside Xiao Mo.

He was far more tolerant of Wangxin than he was of her.

It seemed that no matter what she did wrong, the worst Xiao Mo would do was scold her; he would never show the slightest hint of killing intent toward her.

And after spending these last few days together, Si Li had also discovered something.

This Buddhist Saintess seemed to have eyes only for Xiao Mo.

It was as if Xiao Mo was her entire world.

“How interesting.”

Si Li smiled.

’If the world knew that the Buddhist Saintess was traveling with the Demon Child of the Wandao Sect, I wonder what they would think.’

That night, Xiao Mo built a fire by a small stream.

This spot was no more than twenty li from the Black Dragon Sect.

Xiao Mo planned to head directly to the Black Dragon Sect first thing in the morning. Tonight would be his last time “fishing,” to see if any more reckless Cultivators would come seeking death.

Xiao Mo caught a few fish from the stream and began to roast them over the fire.

Si Li watched Xiao Mo’s serious expression as he sprinkled various spices on the fish. To be honest, even after spending all these days together, she still couldn’t figure out what kind of person he truly was.

’You could say he kills without batting an eye, but when we passed through villages, he would help an old man push his cart.’

’You could say he’s cold to me, but every time he roasts food, there’s always a share for me.’

’He possesses terrifying talent and a remarkably high Realm. He’s clearly a disciple of the Demon Sect, yet some of his actions are like those of a scholar, like a Righteous Gentleman.’

’Such a strange man, truly.’

After dinner, Xiao Mo closed his eyes and sat in meditation to recuperate.

Wangxin crouched on the grassy bank of the stream, burying the fish bones in the dirt and chanting scriptures to guide their souls.

“Miss Wangxin, are you still performing rites for the fish?”

Si Li crouched down beside Wangxin and smiled.

“Mhm,” Wangxin nodded, patting down the soil. “I hope they don’t run into Xiao Mo in their next lives, or they’ll just get eaten again…”

Si Li chuckled, sat down by the stream, and took off her shoes and socks. She dipped her small feet into the water, letting the current wash over her pale ankles.

“Little sister Wangxin, what is your relationship with Xiao Mo?” Si Li asked, looking at her.

“Relationship?” Wangxin looked up and said as if it were the most natural thing in the world, “We’re friends.”

“Just friends?” Si Li gave Wangxin a knowing smile.

Wangxin tilted her head, confused. “What do you mean?”

“Well… let me think how to explain it…” Si Li dangled her feet, creating ripples in the water. “Let’s just say, for example, if Xiao Mo wanted to marry me one day, and he told you he wanted to spend the rest of his life with me, would you be happy? Would you agree to it?”

Wangxin lowered her head, thought about it seriously, then shook her head and said, “I wouldn’t be happy…”

“But…” Wangxin lifted her lovely face, looking into Si Li’s captivating eyes. “If Xiao Mo really wanted to be with you, then I would agree.”

“Why?” Si Li asked, puzzled.

“Because I will agree to anything Xiao Mo wants to do,” Wangxin said earnestly. “I would even help…”

“…” Si Li swallowed, wanting to say something but not knowing what.

“Oh, little sister Wangxin…” Si Li sighed and shook her head. “That’s not what being friends is.”

“Why isn’t it?” The confusion in Wangxin’s eyes deepened. “I don’t understand…”

“It’s better that you don’t,” Si Li said with a smile, saying no more. “Sometimes, understanding things only brings you more worries.”

“Then what about you, Si Li? Do you really want to be with Xiao Mo?” Wangxin asked, blinking as she watched her.

Si Li froze for a moment, and the two of them fell into silence.

After a long while, the corners of Si Li’s mouth lifted as she said frankly, “I guess nothing can be hidden from you, little sister Wangxin. This Seven-Orifice Exquisite Heart is really quite annoying…”

“I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to listen to your thoughts,” Wangxin said, her head bowed. “I haven’t told Xiao Mo.”

“I know. If you were going to tell him, little sister Wangxin, you would have done so already.”

Si Li laced her fingers, raised her arms above her head, and stretched. Her high, pale Zishan Snow Sea glistened under the bright moonlight:

“It’s true. I don’t actually want to be with Xiao Mo.

I don’t want to be with any man.

When I was a child, I watched my father beat my mother to death. The very next day, he took me to be sold.

Luckily, I met my Master. She brought me back to the Wandao Sect.

My Master said I was born with a natural charm and could cultivate a Technique called the Sun and Moon Heart Technique.

My Master gave me all sorts of Heavenly and Earthly Treasures for my cultivation and treated me like her own daughter. I also saw her as a mother.

But in the end, I found out.

It was all a lie.”
