From the Heavens Descended an Immortal Sister

Chapter 147: Chapter 145: An Inexplicable Sense of Relief_1

The air became stagnant.

One second, two seconds, three seconds...

Liu Qianqian stared blankly at the scene before her, only to feel her brain smashed by a comet-level impact, followed by an outburst as she screamed.

"You, what on earth are you doing!"

"Hey! Qian Qian, don't yell nonsense! I, Fang Ren, am innocent!" Fang Ren also shouted in disarray.

"Ah!"

Bai Qi let out a sharp scream, clutching her clothes to cover her chest and squatting on the ground, crying again.

"Fang Ren! You actually did such a beastly thing! I really misjudged you!"

Liu Qianqian yelled and rushed forward to give Fang Ren a beating.

"Hey! Stop! Listen to my explanation!"

"An explanation is just a cover-up!"

Liu Qianqian yelled and threw a combination of punches at the stupefied Fang Ren. In the meantime, Bai Qi, squatting on the ground, kept crying, and the scene became even more chaotic.

Minutes later, Fang Ren was thrown outside the classroom, and Liu Qianqian took off her school jacket and draped it over Bai Qi, comforting her nonstop.

"You can't indulge someone like this hooligan! He must be punished severely!" Liu Qianqian declared with righteous indignation.

"It's okay, class president, it's not his fault," Bai Qi said as she wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes.

"What?"

Liu Qianqian was stunned. If she remembered correctly, Fang Ren had told her that he and Bai Qi were nominally fiance and fiancee with no real feelings involved, and they were going to break off the engagement eventually.

But now that this had happened, why was Bai Qi still defending him?

Could it be that Bai Qi...

Liu Qianqian started concocting her own dramatic narrative. Could it be that Bai Qi had suddenly fallen for that idiot? Even if that idiot forcibly removed her clothes, she still said she didn't blame him.

But Bai Qi's interpretation of the situation had nothing to do with Liu Qianqian's imagination, because the incident was indeed not Fang Ren's fault. The main reason was the mutual attraction and growth of the Spiritual Roots inside their bodies.

If it weren't for the Spiritual Root given by Fang Ren, she would not have lived to see this day. Therefore, she blamed no one. If there were anyone to blame, it couldn't be the Spiritual Root, but rather her own misfortune, which required Fang Ren's Spiritual Root for her survival.

"You... really don't blame him? After what he's done to you," Liu Qianqian said with a sudden sense of complexity in her heart.

"I really don't blame him. Please don't speak ill of him," Bai Qi said, zipping up the jacket with a slight blush of shyness on her face.

"Since you say so..."

Liu Qianqian suddenly felt like she was meddling in others' affairs. If Bai Qi wanted Fang Ren to take advantage of her, what more was there to say?

For a moment, Liu Qianqian felt a surge of anger within her, anger directed at herself. This was a very strange emotion to her.

Even though she had never thought about getting back together with Fang Ren, why was she so angry when he did something like this to another girl?

Was it that she didn't mean what she had said before? Or was she upset that the person being taken advantage of by that idiot was Bai Qi, not herself?

Suddenly, Liu Qianqian turned around and walked outside, looking at Fang Ren standing at the door with a somewhat cold expression, she said, "Are you sick or something!"

"What's wrong with you, being so sudden?" Fang Ren, seeing the cold-faced Liu Qianqian, felt helpless: "I've said it's a misunderstanding. Didn't she explain it to you?"

"What misunderstanding?" Liu Qianqian said coldly: "I thought you were at least a devoted man, but what are you doing now! Do you think you deserve her?"

"I... this wasn't voluntary," Fang Ren said, looking helpless.

"Right, it wasn't voluntary. You just couldn't resist and lost control for a moment, right?"

"How did I lose control?"

"Sicko!" Liu Qianqian snapped: "The things you're doing now are the complete opposite of what you told me before!"

With that, Liu Qianqian turned away angrily and walked off into the distance, leaving Fang Ren behind, looking at her leave, unable to understand.

"This is definitely a misunderstanding."

With a dejected face, Fang Ren immediately ran back into the classroom and looked at Bai Qi, who had stopped crying, he said, "Your Highness, did you or did you not explain to her?"

The moment Bai Qi saw him rush in, she immediately turned her head away and said softly, "Of course I explained."

"So what did she misunderstand?" Fang Ren was confused.

"Let her misunderstand. It was your Spiritual Root that did it; you deal with it," Bai Qi said with a huff.

Although she said that, she didn't actually blame Fang Ren at all. She spoke this way because, after all, she was a princess and she cared about her dignity.

Fang Ren said helplessly, "It's as if your Spiritual Root wasn't involved."

"Well... well, you can't blame that on me, can you? I am the one who was taken advantage of!" Bai Qi said.

"Yeah, yeah, it's all your logic. I apologize, sorry, it's all my fault."

"Such a perfunctory attitude!"

"So, what exactly do you want me to do?"

"Buy me lingerie!"

"What? Can't I just give you the money and you buy it yourself?" Fang Ren was taken aback.

"No, you did the wrong thing; you have to buy it!" Bai Qi insisted firmly.

"For a grown man to enter a women's lingerie store, where's my face going to be?"

"When you were looking, you didn't seem to worry about saving face, did you?"

Fang Ren's eyelid twitched. Alright, he couldn't make a clear case for himself; in such situations, it's often the men who are the real disadvantaged group.

"Fine, fine, can I buy it online, then?" Fang Ren said.

"I want it in white."

"Whatever you say."

"Hmph! Seeing that you've apologized sincerely, this princess will forgive you for now."

"Alright, now can you tell me, what exactly did you and the class president talk about just now?"

"I didn't really say much; I just said that it wasn't all your fault," Bai Qi said.

Hearing this, Fang Ren became even more dejected. These weren't the sort of words to cause a misunderstanding, so why did Liu Qianqian suddenly act like that?

Could it be that she let her imagination run wild?

That's it, if a woman starts using her imagination, it could really be deadly.

After a little commotion, Fang Ren took Bai Qi to the dorm, where they said very little on the way. Fang Ren also felt extremely awkward and kept quiet.

In the end, Fang Ren escorted Bai Qi to the bottom of her dorm building and was about to leave, but then,

Bai Qi, who had been looking down all the time, suddenly said, "Hey."

"What's up?"

Fang Ren turned around and saw her still looking down, her arms tightly wrapped around her clothes at her chest, the blush gone from her face.

"You... don't have to buy me lingerie," Bai Qi said.

"Do you have any other?" Fang Ren asked.

"No, I only brought the one I have on," Bai Qi said. "But it's just the strap that's broken, I think I can fix it and still wear it, and lingerie... is quite expensive. We're both short on money right now, so let's not buy it."

"..."

Fang Ren was stunned. Since when had the princess become so thrifty and sensible?

Hearing her words, Fang Ren couldn't help but visualize a picture of the two of them living a poor life together, her words sounding too much like those between a young married couple.

"Didn't I tell you before, I have money, don't worry," Fang Ren said.

Bai Qi suddenly looked up and gave him a glance before saying, "You just like to pretend to be rich when you're not; starving yourself, you know it."

"Why don't you believe me?"

Bai Qi huffed, "I just don't; hurry back, and don't forget to let me take you to dinner tonight."

After speaking, Bai Qi turned her head and ran towards the dormitory.

Watching her retreating figure, Fang Ren felt an unusual sensation in his heart.

This feeling was similar to the first time he took Liu Qianqian back to the dormitory... harmonious, beautiful, and a certain inexplicable happiness.

She was an innocent girl that gave people a sense of peace. On the surface, it seemed she wanted him to admit his faults, but in reality, she always had his best interests at heart.

The small happiness he felt wasn't because Bai Qi had romantic feelings for him, but rather because Bai Qi, the girl, gave him a strange sense of comfort.
