Moody

"That isn't something cute, Xiao Yan..."

"Yes it isn't, that's why don't trust strangers. It ended well when it was me but not everyone is as kind as me."

"You are really starting to praise yourself every time possible."

"I need it, Mu Yue. You are now growing and catching up to me. You might abandon me for someone more beautiful. Also, I used a beauty trap. Who knows, you might get trapped by someone else. I need to be better than the others to make you safe hehe"

Mu Yue knows Xiao Yan was joking so she just went along. Xiao Yan's beauty might have made Mu Yue attracted to her but that is in a minority of the reasons.

After eating lunch, both of them went to the mission hall to look for tasks. This time, they got a proper one.

"A hunting task to get cores of magical beasts. The reward is based on the tier and number of cores. At least it would include fighting." Xiao Yan said while remembering the task.

Mu Yue then asked, "Can we do that? We just became Foundation Establishment Cultivators. We might have a hard time fighting Magical Beasts even if they are of the weakest tier."

"We should be fine. Did you remember what our seniors told us? They said that when we were fighting them, we are already on par of the average 1st steps Foundation Establishment stage Cultivators."

"Oh, I remember. Our opponents were tough that I forgot they were also one of the best. Let us start on killing a tier 1 magical beast together then slowly increase the difficulty."

When they arrived at the dock for flying ships, one of the staff told them that there is no available flight.

"The flying ships only travel twice per week. Don't worry as tomorrow would be the next one."

Xiao Yan was stunned. She then asked, "Aren't there any private ones? The principal's?"

"I am sorry but even the private ones have already left. The principal also used his since he had to go to the capital for a meeting. You were unlucky as this week will be busy and this day is busiest."

"Ok, I guess I need to be happy that there is a flight tomorrow..."

Disappointed, Xiao Yan went back to home with Mu Yue tailing her.

"Are you really that excited for the task?" Mu Yue asked.

"Yeah, we could do interesting activities in the wild." Xiao Yan teased but sighed after a while and went to the bedroom.

Mu Yue froze because of the tease. She then followed after recovering.

"We could do a spar to warm ourselves up."

Xiao Yan just said, "Sure, get in the bed."

"Not that! You are acting differently right now, Xiao Yan. It's just half a day of waiting."

"Mmm... It's quite boring now. Entertain me."

"Y-you... *sigh* just rest or maybe sleep."

"Sorry Mu Yue. Honestly, I need my share of killing haha. Well, just a reason as I just got moody." Xiao Yan apologized.

"No problem. Also, that change of mood is quite something. Do you get flirty when you get bored, Xiao Yan?"

"I need something fun to do when bored. That fun thing is teasing you, Mu Yue."

After half a day and a night, the next day arrived. Xiao Yan's mind has become clear from sleeping well. She then remembered what she did.

'Ah, why did I do those? Good thing Mu Yue wasn't bothered by my teasings. Also, a good intel that consecutive teases do not work effectively.'

Mu Yue woke up and greeted, "Good morning, Xiao Yan. Are you back to your normal self now?"

"Y-yeah... Sorry about what happened last night." Xiao Yan said as she stood up and bow her head.

"Mhm, you being moody is a new experience for me." Mu Yue mentioned.

Xiao Yan laughed, "That's a rare effect. In the past, I would head off to cut a head off of someone."

"Was killing people fun for you?" Mu Yue asked as the most she heard of Xiao Yan's past was this.

"That was in the past when I was bloodthirsty. Now I am thirsty for you." Xiao Yan answered, with a tease inserted.

But this did not affect Mu Yue. "That might have affected me if not because of what you did yesterday. Thank you for giving me some resistance to it."

Mu Yue then went out of the room to take a bath and prepare their breakfast.

Xiao Yan just stared at the back of her lover and murmured, "Oh... it's starting. For how long can I still keep up my teasings huhuhu."
