Little White Lotus’ Record of Courting Disaster

“Lan Deng, please don’t drive me away, okay?”

Due to the influence of the love gu, Youyou had developed a special affection for Lan Deng. Lan Deng’s gentle and sweet demeanor was particularly endearing.

Her eyes brimming with affection, Youyou gazed at Lan Deng with a pleading expression. Her pupils reflected only Lan Deng, as if Lan Deng were her entire world, and there was no room for anyone else.

Even though she was well aware that the looks of the female lead, Bai Youyou, could rival those of celestial beings, in this fleeting moment, Lan Deng was completely captivated by Bai Youyou.

The flawless girl squatting on the ground is truly delicate down to every strand of her hair. Her exposed skin is actually whiter than snow.

With a barely noticeable gulp, Lan Deng inwardly acknowledged that if this female protagonist were placed in the modern world, she would undoubtedly be the kind of presence that would have people wanting to ravish her on the bed countless times. Even if she wasn’t initially attracted to this type, Lan Deng couldn’t help but imagine what her taste might be like.

For the first time, Lan Deng was staring at the female protagonist, Bai Youyou, so seriously and closely. She couldn’t help but realize that Bai Youyou truly lived up to her reputation as the favored one of destiny in this world.

Her skin was as white as snow, her hair as dark as ink, and her face was petite and flawlessly delicate, with features so well-defined that they were a sight to behold. Every detail, from her clear and innocent childlike eyes to her rosy and inviting lips that seemed as though they were made to be bitten, was astonishingly perfect. Her body was equally captivating, making her an embodiment of sheer allure and beauty.

However, as she gazed at the contorted expression on Yao Yue’s face, who seemed almost possessed, Lan Deng felt the urge to shake some sense into this clueless female lead. Seriously, now was not the time for sweet nothings and romantic gestures. Could she please stop provoking Yao Yue? Didn’t she see that Yao Yue was on the verge of losing control and becoming dangerously aggressive? The affinity level was plummeting rapidly, for crying out loud.

The affinity level was dropping to negative a hundred, for crying out loud!

Clutching the bedsheets tightly and huddling into the corner of the bed, Lan Deng wished she could suddenly become invisible. She desperately wanted to avoid attracting any attention, especially since the intensity of Yao Yue’s presence was overwhelming. She simply couldn’t handle it. Yao Yue seemed genuinely determined to harm her.

“Lan Deng.”

Seeing that Lan Deng was constantly avoiding her, Youyou felt a pang of sadness. She was truly heartbroken.

Her ebony-colored eyelashes trembled, her eyes glistening with teary mist. She stubbornly and pitifully stared at Yao Yue, allowing the bright teardrops to fall from the corners of her eyes.

“Fine, fine, fine, you win.”

She repeated the word ‘fine’ three times. The scene in front of Yao Yue deeply wounded her. Her gaze lingered on the girl’s still-wet eyes for a moment. Yao Yue closed her eyes briefly, then opened them with determination.

Her hair moved as if blown by an invisible wind, and her crimson robe rustled loudly as her qi flared. Bai Gu and Bai Ling saw the situation deteriorating and immediately flew to stand in front of Yao Yue, blocking her path.

“Miss Yue, what do you intend to do?”

They couldn’t care less about exposing their identities at this point. Bai Gu activated the Sacred Unicorn Technique, emitting an aura as powerful as Yao Yue’s.

“So, you’re from the Saint Lin Palace?”

Yao Yue’s eyes grew colder, and as her anger intensified, she began to smile, her gaze gradually turning crimson.

“It seems this whole thing was a trap from the beginning, right?”

“You’ve known Lan Deng for a while, all for the purpose of getting something from me. When you saw I had no interest in her, you set up a scheme at the city gate, making me encounter a young man more to my taste. The Saint Unicorn Palace truly has its ways, huh?”

Her chilling and eerie laughter echoed through the room. Youyou covered her ears, disgruntled and scolded, “Stop laughing, it’s so annoying!”

She didn’t understand why her temperament had turned so sour.

Youyou directly ordered Bai Gu and Bai Ling, “Throw her out.”

It had to be because of her that Lan Deng had been avoiding her, so now Youyou detested Yao Yue, wishing for her to die immediately.

They had never seen their Saintess so irritable and fierce. Bai Gu and Bai Ling exchanged puzzled and suspicious glances.

“Yes, Saintess.”

Regardless of everything, they would follow orders first. Bai Gu informed Yao Yue, “Apologies Miss Yue, we’re going to have to offend you now.”

Bai Gu brandished a sword, while Yao Yue wielded a silk ribbon.

In the room, the figures of Bai Gu in white and Yao Yue in red intertwined in an unending battle, creating a dizzying spectacle.

Yao Yue fought fiercely and recklessly, wielding the white silk in her hand with a murderous intent. She targeted Bai Gu’s vital points and launched sneak attacks on Bai Youyou from time to time, forcing Bai Ling to join the battle as well. In the end, they managed to send Yao Yue flying with a powerful kick.

The Sacred Unicorn Technique was a precious treasure in the martial world, coveted even by the royal family, highlighting its formidable power. As Bai Youyou’s guardians, Bai Gu and Bai Ling had practiced the Sacred Unicorn Technique since childhood. With their combined efforts, they easily outmatched Yao Yue.

Blocking Bai Ling, who was ready to continue her violent retaliation and settle personal grievances, Bai Gu closed the door and addressed the fallen Yao Yue in the hallway.

“Miss Yue, whether you believe it or not, we truly don’t know the lady named Lan Deng, and we are unaware of any hidden belongings on your person.

…Since you practice the Flame Technique, it indicates that you’re from the Vermilion Bird Nation. …Miss Yue, the Vermilion Bird and the Black Tortoise have always been in conflict. We won’t reveal your identity, but can you do the same for us?”

The palace master had repeatedly instructed them not to disclose the whereabouts of the Saintess. Although Bai Gu didn’t understand why, they had to strictly follow the palace master’s orders.

Yao Yue: …

Feeling a piercing pain in her chest, Yao Yue tilted her head and coughed up a pool of blood.

Clutching her fist tightly, Yao Yue staggered and struggled to stand up from the ground. Her expression grew increasingly dark and mocking.

“Heh, ‘not familiar with her’, are you trying to fool a ghost?”

Would an unfamiliar girl act that way towards Lan Deng?

Would an unfamiliar girl suddenly change her behavior so drastically?

The coldness in Yao Yue’s eyes deepened as she pondered whether she should reveal her identity to expose the traitor who dared to deceive her and betray her.

“Miss Yue, the Saintess has never left the mountain before, so I am certain that the Saintess and Lan Deng have never met. I initially suspected that the Saintess was framed, but it didn’t quite feel right. That person is indeed the Saintess, there’s no doubt about it.”

Furrowing his brows slightly, Bai Gu appeared to be quite troubled by the situation.

“Heh, who would believe that?”

With a glint in her eyes, Yao Yue’s demeanor shifted from seductive to an extreme coldness.

Her gaze swept briefly over the closed wooden door, her heart enduring a painful throb. In a cold tone, she said to Bai Gu, “I will agree to your terms.”

Still, the same rule applies: once you’ve gotten involved with her, don’t think about escaping.

If their plans weren’t at a critical juncture now, she would definitely make the girl regret to the point of tears.

Bai Gu: …

“It seems staying here for long isn’t a good idea.”

Watching Yao Yue’s departing figure, Bai Gu muttered softly.

…

Under the threat of Bai Gu and Bai Ling’s martial prowess, Lan Deng could only agree reluctantly to travel with them. This delighted Youyou immensely.

For the current Youyou, the destination wasn’t really important.

What mattered most was having Lan Deng by her side.

The group journeyed away from the capital of Xuanwu, heading towards the border day and night. Along the way, Lan Deng seemed quite dispirited. Surprisingly, she couldn’t contact the system anymore, and the words “Yao Yue” were highlighted in bold and written in blood-red font, carrying a strong sense of murderous intent, -100 favorability. Every time she saw it, she felt like kneeling.

Wuwuwu, this world was so dangerous. She wanted someone to comfort her.

“Lan Deng, have something to eat.”

Offering a plump and juicy grape to Lan Deng’s lips, Youyou’s face lit up with joy, and her eyes and heart were only filled with Lan Deng.

She affectionately wrapped her arms around Lan Deng’s arm.

As if by doing so, she could find complete satisfaction.

With a somewhat wooden expression, Lan Deng swallowed the grape. Her eyes slightly narrowed, her throat moving as she visibly relished the taste.

Over the past few days, Lan Deng found the main character’s clinginess quite exasperating. To be honest, Bai Youyou was lovely, so lovely that she felt a bit moved. However, the thought of Yao Yue, that insane lunatic, and what she might do to the female lead after realizing her feelings, made Lan Deng go numb at the prospect.

Beside them, Bai Gu raised an eyebrow at this sight. He had already detected that something was off with the Holy Maiden, and it seemed that the source of it all was this Lan Deng.

The Holy Maiden was still the same as before, but now it was clear that she held a strong interest in Lan Deng. Bai Gu thought that in the eyes of the Holy Maiden, the entire Saint Lin Palace and even the Palace Master weren’t as important as Lan Deng.

It seems like…

The Holy Maiden being manipulated.

Partially lowering his eyelids to hide the depth of his thoughts, Bai Gu was contemplating finding a place to thoroughly question Lan Deng. Of course, first, he needed to separate her from the Holy Maiden.

However, neither Bai Gu nor Bai Ling knew that on the third day after they left Xuanqi City, a coup occurred in Xuanwu.

The Crown Prince of Xuanwu led a rebellion, surrounding the imperial palace and critically injuring the current emperor. Fortunately, the third prince, Xuan Ling, led his troops to break into the palace at a critical moment, beheaded the Crown Prince before the palace, and put an end to the crisis.

In just one night, the situation in Xuanwu changed drastically.

Before losing consciousness, the emperor declared Xuan Ling as the crown prince and bestowed the royal seal upon him.

And then, ten more days passed.

At the Xuanwu border, a group of several hundred figures dressed in black suddenly emerged from trees, bushes, and the ground, brandishing swords and surrounding the carriage.

Bai Gu’s heart skipped a beat. He quickly halted the carriage, and the crowd parted, revealing a woman in red robes walking towards them with an icy demeanor. If not Yao Yue, then who?

“It’s you?”

“Comply, or die.”

The tip of her sword gleamed with a sinister light in the sunlight. Yao Yue approached the carriage, her wrist twisted, and her soft tendons enveloped in True Qi unfurled, shooting straight towards Bai Gu.

Instinctively raising his hands to defend, Bai Gu realized something was amiss, but it was too late. Thud, thud, thud – several sounds rang out. Not only did Bai Gu fall to the ground, but also inside the carriage, Bai Ling, Youyou, and Lan Deng collapsed.

“Fool.”

She kicked Bai Gu to the side without hesitation.

Yao Yue opened the carriage door and upon seeing the scene inside, she chuckled coldly.

In the same manner, she pulled Bai Ling, who was filled with rage, to the ground. Yao Yue boarded the carriage, pulled Youyou, who was draped over Lan Deng, into her arms, and then forcefully twisted Lan Deng’s wrist and threw her out.

“Return to the sect.”

The chilling voice spurred the well-trained figures in black to immediate action. They had been pursued, and a better and more discreet route had originally been planned, but their master insisted on the bold choice of this path.

“Little miss, it’s been a while, hasn’t it?”

Yao Yue lowered her head, meeting Youyou’s infuriated expression. Her lips curled into a smile, particularly sinister.
