Inside the small study, Ji Li's round face was flushed red.
After holding it in for a long time, she finally managed to utter, "Little Martial Grand-Aunt."
The reason she found it difficult to say was mainly because she had previously harbored some improper thoughts about Lu Xun.
To capture him and use him as a cauldron, wasn't that an improper thought?
Now, the object of her thoughts had transformed into her elder, and one several generations her senior.
And this had all happened in just a few days!
Ji Li's inner thoughts had become incredibly complex.
Of course, the improper thoughts hadn't completely disappeared, that was for sure.
After pinching the soft persimmon, Lu Xun's mood had improved considerably.
Little brat, I'll teach you to try and capture me as a cauldron! So young, and already learning bad habits!
Once his mood had stabilized, he greeted Mao Nanbei with a warm smile, "Greetings, Senior Sister!"
His skin was thick, so he didn't care at all.
Besides, Mao Nanbei only had the mentality of a child, but who knew how old she actually was.
It was not easy for demons to take human form, and it required a long period of time.
If nothing unexpected happened, she should be hundreds of years older than him, so there was no loss in calling her Senior Sister.
Mao Nanbei pretended to be nonchalant, but the contented twitch of her cat ears betrayed her relaxed mood.
She jumped down from the wooden table, still clasping her hands behind her back, acting like an expert, but in reality, she looked more like a little adult.
After glancing at Lu Xun, she asked, "Can you get up and walk?"
Lu Xun's injuries had basically healed, and his health was almost full, so he nodded.
"Then come with me to see Second Senior Sister." Mao Nanbei said, "Teacher and Third Senior Brother have gone on a trip, First Senior Brother… let's not mention him for now, he's a bit special, you'll find out later. Second Senior Sister is at home though."
Perhaps afraid that Lu Xun would be confused, she continued, "Second Senior Sister can't leave the Bamboo Forest for the time being, so she'll be there for the time being. Just follow me."
"Alright," Lu Xun nodded.
Despite his calm exterior, his heart was filled with waves.
Because until before he transmigrated, the Second Senior Sister of the Demon Sect Back Mountain Small Study had never appeared in Tian Chen.
Perhaps the game hadn't progressed that far yet, just like Teacher was still very mysterious in the eyes of the public before he transmigrated.
However, although Second Senior Sister had never appeared, everyone knew that such a person existed.
Even though no one knew what she looked like, it didn't mean that players weren't looking forward to her.
Her name was Gu Xiaoman, which many players found very cute, and many posts speculated whether she would be a cute girl.
In Tian Chen, Mao Nanbei showed her face more often. Although she had a strange personality, she was really good-looking. As a cat-eared girl, how could she not be likable? Everyone was looking forward to Gu Xiaoman even more.
The Bamboo Forest wasn't too far from the small study, but it wasn't too close either.
As Lu Xun walked along, he felt a sense of novelty towards the scenery of the back mountain.
His feelings were the same as everyone else who had just arrived at the back mountain, feeling that every scene on this mountain was very beautiful.
This was a delicate mountain.
The swarms of fireflies weren't afraid of people, and they danced along with them like candles on the mountain, illuminating the path ahead.
Lu Xun tried to grab a few, but to his surprise, as soon as he raised his palm, several fireflies spontaneously landed in his palm, which was very magical.
It wasn't that they had already developed intelligence, but the back mountain was such a harmonious scene, especially wonderful, making it unclear and inexplicable.
In any case, it didn't resemble the Demon Sect that the world imagined in the slightest.
Originally, Mao Nanbei could have just flown the two of them over, but she also knew that it was Lu Xun's first time seeing the scenery of the back mountain, so she deliberately took him around to let him see more.
Every scene in the back mountain had a charm. Shen Yan once said that the mountain itself was a treasure, and that walking around and looking at it more would be beneficial to cultivation.
That's because Second Senior Sister is comprehending the Dao in the Bamboo Forest!
After walking for a while, Lu Xun finally saw the Bamboo Forest.
The feeling at night is different from the daytime. During the day, it's a lush green.
A night breeze blew, the bamboo leaves rustling as they intertwined.
For some reason, Lu Xun's somewhat restless heart calmed down inexplicably at this moment.
Listening to the sound of the wind blowing through the bamboo leaves, he felt much more relaxed.
This mountain really has magic!
Entering the Bamboo Forest, following the winding path, Mao Nanbei led the way, with Lu Xun and Ji Li closely following behind, surrounded by a large group of fireflies.
Arriving at their destination, Lu Xun looked ahead and saw a woman sitting on a rock, only seeing her back.
That Daoist Robe immediately left a deep impression on him.
The Daoist Robe was quite loose, and her back looked very slender, making her appear even thinner in contrast.
Her long hair was styled into a Daoist bun, with a simple wooden hairpin inserted into it. She just sat there, feeling as if she had merged with the surrounding scenery.
Just her back view gave off a sense of aloofness.
Lu Xun was curious about what she looked like.
Mao Nanbei directly called out, "Second Senior Sister, I've brought Little Martial Brother."
Lu Xun stood aside and said, "Lu Xun greets Second Senior Sister."
He saw the woman nod slightly, but she didn't turn around.
To be precise, she seemed to be rooted to the rock, unable to turn around.
This was tricky. No matter how curious Lu Xun was about her appearance, he couldn't just leave the winding path and run over to see her, right?
It was their first meeting, and she was his senior sister, so it wouldn't be appropriate or polite.
Lu Xun didn't know what to say, and she didn't seem to want to speak either. For a moment, the atmosphere became a little awkward.
She seemed to realize that this wasn't good, and quickly moved, taking something out of her Storage Magic Item and throwing it to Lu Xun.
Lu Xun reached out and caught it, unexpectedly finding that it was the Qi Devouring Art he had already learned.
Regardless of what cultivation method Demon Sect disciples practice later, the introductory technique is the Qi Devouring Art.
However, compared to the booklet that the little loli had given him before, this one was thicker.
He opened it and found that in addition to the main text, there were many annotations written on the side.
Her handwriting was narrow, like her slender self, giving a sense of aloofness.
For a newbie, this booklet was definitely a treasure!
Moreover, who was Gu Xiaoman? This was a character who hadn't even officially appeared in front of the players in Tian Chen before Lu Xun's transmigration. The later she appeared, the more likely she was to be a big shot!
Back on Earth, she would be like Lu Xun's senior in the same department, and a top student at that.
"Is this... a greeting gift?" Lu Xun looked down at the booklet again.
But this feeling was a bit strange.
It was like the top student didn't want to talk to you and just threw you a set of study notes?
And judging from her back and behavior, she didn't seem to be a cute girl.
