Junior Brother, You're Bad

On the way, Hu Liena blushed and said, "Junior Brother, it wouldn't be proper to visit your home for the first time empty-handed. I want to buy some gifts for Uncle and Auntie."

Liu Xinghan could not persuade Hu Liena otherwise, so he accompanied her to buy some gifts.

Liu Family courtyard.

"Mom, I'm back!" The moment he pushed open the courtyard gate, Liu Xinghan shouted.

A beautiful woman in a light blue dress emerged from the house. Her demeanor was gentle and virtuous. She was Liu Xinghan's mother, Li Xinyue.

"Xiao Han is back!" Li Xinyue's face lit up with surprise.

Liu Xinghan was usually busy researching Soul Tools, studying Immortal Herbs, and cultivating Soul Power. He normally stayed at the Papal Palace and only came home once a month.

Her gaze paused on Liu Xinghan before shifting slightly to Hu Liena at his side.

"Mom, this is my Senior Sister, Hu Liena," Liu Xinghan introduced.

Hu Liena immediately said politely in a soft voice, "Hello, Auntie. I'm Xiao Han's Senior Sister, Hu Liena. You can just call me Nana."

As she looked Hu Liena over, Li Xinyue made no effort to hide the admiration in her eyes.

What a beautiful young lady. Pretty face, great figure, and so polite!

Even when she had been young, she would still have fallen short by a fair margin compared to this girl. She would be perfect as her son's girlfriend, though she seemed a few years older. But that was fine. They were both Soul Masters, so age was not an issue.

"Come, hurry inside and sit!" Li Xinyue warmly took Hu Liena's hand. The more she looked at the girl, the more satisfied she became, leaving Liu Xinghan standing off to the side.

I'm actually being ignored!

Speechless, Liu Xinghan asked, "Mom, where's Dad?"

Li Xinyue said, "Your father is still on duty. He won't be back this early."

After answering him, the two women resumed chatting and laughing. He had no idea where women found so many topics to discuss. They were meeting for the first time, yet they were chatting so happily.

That evening, Liu Xuanfeng returned from his shift at Spirit Hall.

"What? Son, you've already reached level thirty Soul Power?" At the dinner table, Liu Xuanfeng was stunned when he learned that Liu Xinghan intended to obtain his Third Spirit Ring and would be leaving Spirit City for some time.

How long had it been? He was barely over ten years old, yet he had already reached level thirty Soul Power?

"Yes, Dad!" Liu Xinghan chuckled.

Once it was confirmed, even Liu Xuanfeng, as his father, was stunned.

When he had been ten, let alone level thirty Soul Power, he had not even reached level twenty.

"You brat, your Soul Power cultivation is about to catch up to mine!" Liu Xuanfeng said with emotion.

Wasn't that true? When Liu Xinghan awakened his martial soul, he had possessed level ten Soul Power, while Liu Xuanfeng had been at level forty-four. Now his son was already at level thirty, while he remained stuck at level forty-nine, not even having reached Soul King yet.

At this rate, it probably would not be long before his son surpassed him in cultivation.

If one had to ask how he felt right now, he was both proud and embarrassed. It was an exceptionally conflicted feeling...

After dinner, Liu Xinghan left with Hu Liena.

She wore a smile all the way back. Liu Xuanfeng and Li Xinyue's attitudes toward her made her feel that Uncle and Auntie were quite satisfied with her!

Her Junior Brother liked her, and Uncle and Auntie approved of her.

In that case, isn't there nothing standing between me and Junior Brother? Hu Liena thought happily.

Papal Palace.

"What? Junior Brother, you're going alone?" Hu Liena stared at Liu Xinghan with wide eyes.

"That's right. This time, it's too far away. Senior Sister, you should stop following me around and stay at the Papal Palace to cultivate properly," Liu Xinghan said.

This time, he did not intend to bring Hu Liena with him. Perhaps some of his secrets would be exposed, and for now, he did not want her to know them.

"No, I'm going. Junior Brother, don't even think about leaving me behind!" Hu Liena glared at Liu Xinghan with puffed cheeks.

Helplessly, Liu Xinghan said, "Senior Sister, this time I'm planning to go to Sunset Forest. It's simply too far from Spirit City. You should stay at the Papal Palace and cultivate properly. If you don't work harder, I'll catch up to you in cultivation."

This time, no matter how Hu Liena wheedled and pleaded, Liu Xinghan refused to agree.

"Fine, then I won't go!" Hu Liena said unhappily.

Seeing this, Liu Xinghan grinned. "Senior Sister, don't be angry. When I return this time, I promise I'll bring back a gift you'll really like."

At the mention of a gift, Hu Liena's gloomy mood improved somewhat. She gave a light huff. "How do you know whether I'll like it?"

Liu Xinghan said confidently, "You'll definitely like it!"

"Fine," Hu Liena said.

As she spoke, she quickly moved closer. They had not been standing far apart to begin with, and Liu Xinghan clearly had not expected her action. She immediately threw her arms around him.

"Junior Brother, you must be careful this time." As she spoke, Hu Liena quickly gave Liu Xinghan a light kiss on the lips.

Liu Xinghan froze.

My first kiss is gone just like that?

No, I'm losing out too much like this. It's improper not to return the favor!

With that thought, Liu Xinghan grabbed Hu Liena, who had successfully launched her sneak attack and was about to pull away. Wrapping an arm around her slender, boneless waist, he immediately kissed her back!

Hu Liena's pretty face turned crimson!

Junior Brother is so bold! Hu Liena was shocked. She herself had been bold because she was already an adult.

Liu Xinghan's action had greatly exceeded her expectations.

It seems Junior Brother has really grown up! Hu Liena thought shyly.

He was the Junior Brother she liked anyway. A kiss was just a kiss!

However, Liu Xinghan was clearly even bolder than she had imagined.

In this life, he had always possessed an adult's mentality. Once their lips met, his hands naturally began to wander.

His hands slid gently downward, and Hu Liena's body trembled. She swiftly pushed Liu Xinghan away, her beautiful eyes seeming as though they could drip with enchantment as she glared at him in shame and anger. "Junior Brother, you're bad..."

With that, she hurriedly ran back to her room!

Seeing this, Liu Xinghan awkwardly rubbed his nose. It was not that his self-control was weak—his Senior Sister was simply too captivating!

Papal Palace!

Bibi Dong was also delighted to learn that Liu Xinghan had broken through to level thirty Soul Power.

At ten years old, with level thirty Soul Power—how many people on the continent possessed such talent?

Bibi Dong believed there were certainly none!

"Have you decided what Spirit Ring you want to obtain?" Bibi Dong asked.

Looking at the tall, handsome figure before her, she realized that her young disciple had grown so much without her noticing. He was already as tall as she was!

He had great talent and outstanding looks. Such an exceptional person—who knew how many girls would like him in the future? She also wondered whether Nana had the ability to hold on to Xiao Han.

Of course, Bibi Dong could tell that Hu Liena liked Liu Xinghan.

She regarded Hu Liena as a daughter, so naturally, she hoped the girl could find her own happiness!

Liu Xinghan nodded. "Teacher, I've decided."

Bibi Dong smiled. "Tell me about it."

Liu Xinghan said, "My First Spirit Ring was a Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear, and my Second Spirit Ring was an Ancient Demon Tree, representing attack and control respectively. So I want to find an agility-type soul beast. My choices are the Hell Envoy and the Death Scythe Mantis!"
