On that afternoon, Wenxin searched everywhere but could not find Guan Xue. She secretly speculated that he had gone to Su Daji's place again, which made her feel sour inside. Determined, she headed straight for Su Daji's palace.
"Hey, where's Guan Xue?" she asked angrily, scanning the room but was surprised to find no sign of him.
She shot a sideways glance at Su Daji, who was still sitting at her vanity, and marched over to confront her loudly.
"If it weren't for Guan Xue, with your attitude, you would have died seven or eight times by now!" Su Daji retorted sharply, her eyebrows furrowed in displeasure.
"Hmph, who cares? If you have the guts, go ahead and kill me!" Wenxin shot back defiantly.
Su Daji turned her head and provocatively sized Wenxin up from head to toe before sneering, "Do you think I wouldn't dare? Believe it or not, I could have Guan Xue kill you himself!"
Upon hearing this, Wenxin felt a wave of panic wash over her. Her footing faltered, and she stumbled, accidentally hitting a Bronze Palace Lantern with her arm. The lantern rolled away and ignited a Canopy nearby.
In an instant, a fierce blaze erupted within the palace.
Wenxin gasped in shock and rushed forward to extinguish the flames. Su Daji quickly followed suit; with a swift motion of her jade hand, she opened the burning Canopy and reached into the wall behind it. Carefully, she retrieved a Small Wooden Box hidden in the shadows.
Once she confirmed that the fire had not spread to the Small Wooden Box, a relieved smile appeared on Su Daji's face. Suddenly, she turned around and said fiercely, "Thank goodness my treasure is safe; otherwise, even Guan Xue wouldn't be able to save you. Get out! Leave now!"
"Why are you being so fierce?"
Wenxin muttered defiantly as she turned to leave but couldn't bear to walk away empty-handed. She spun back around and strode up to Su Daji. "You sly fox, what harmful thing are you hiding? Let me see it!"
As she spoke, she snatched the Small Wooden Box from Su Daji's hands. Upon opening it, she found only a Silk Scroll inside, depicting a young gentleman. Upon closer inspection, it was unmistakably Guan Xue.
"You!" In an instant, Wenxin felt overwhelmed, staring at the small portrait with her brows furrowed tightly together, almost knitting into a single line. She thought to herself that there must be something fishy between the two; now, competing for a man with the world-renowned seductress was truly a losing battle for her.
"Give it back," Su Daji demanded, extending her hand.
Wenxin gloomily returned the Small Wooden Box to Su Daji. "You really have a crush on him."
Su Daji had already taken a few steps away but turned back at those words, her expression alluring as she said, "So what if I do? If you have the ability, then compete with me for him!"
"You..." Wenxin was so furious that she was left speechless.
Seeing Wenxin's angry and flustered expression, Su Daji finally burst into laughter, lightly curling her lips and letting out a barely audible sigh. "Guan Xue, if only I loved you..."
That night, Guan Xue encountered a Wenxin who was entirely different from her usual self. She wore a sheer garment and leaned against the railing under the moonlight, smiling at him with an enchanting charm that seemed to hold countless emotions in her gaze.
Unable to compete with Su Daji's natural allure, Wenxin could only resort to the clichéd tactic of making things happen first.
Guan Xue was momentarily taken aback but then smiled broadly as he approached her. He wrapped his arms around Wenxin's soft waist, gently caressing her as he noticed her secretly gritting her teeth in frustration. This made him secretly delighted.
However, he had no intention of stopping there; he even wanted to continue playing along. Lowering his head, he captured her lips with his own.
Wenxin's body instantly tensed up even more. It turned out that seducing someone required immense courage. She dazedly allowed Guan Xue to guide her as their lips and tongues intertwined in an ambiguous dance within her warm mouth.
Finally, just as the man's hand was about to slip under her skirt, Wenxin's patience completely shattered. She grabbed Guan Xue's mischievous hand and, holding his chin, turned his face towards her. "What are you trying to do?"
Her face was burning, the vibrant red hue captivating in Guan Xue's eyes.
"Just following your lead," Guan Xue teased with a smile.
"Not interested, so how about I seduce you instead?"
Wenxin could no longer hold back. As she saw Guan Xue's face leaning closer, she nervously stepped back. "Seducing you? You big fool! Naughty Fox, you better confess—do you like Su Daji?"
"I've told you countless times, she's my sister." Guan Xue laughed heartily, enjoying the sight of Wenxin getting jealous; it filled him with joy.
"Sister, my foot!" Wenxin didn't hide her thoughts. "But she likes you! She's been secretly keeping your portrait!"
At her words, Guan Xue was taken aback for a moment before chuckling self-deprecatingly. "Silly girl, that's not me..."
