Chapter Thirty-Nine: A Kiss

"Qingqing, what demoness? What nonsense are you talking about?"

Pei Yuhan was initially confused, but then seemed to recall something, his expression stiffening, his tone slightly guilty.

"Qing... Qingqing, what you're saying, it couldn't be..."

When Lu Qingqing heard her senior brother's tone turn stiff, her last shred of hope sank completely. At that moment, she felt the whole world had lost its reason to exist.

The thought of her senior brother being pinned down by a group of fox spirits, the demonesses' triumphant laughter seemed to echo in Lu Qingqing's ears, mocking her own incompetence as a junior sister...

Lu Qingqing felt even more heartbroken, wishing she could melt her entire body into his to share his pain.

In Pei Yuhan's eyes, his junior sister's tearful appearance was like a little calico cat with smudged tears, but the little calico cat's next words were astonishing.

"Senior Brother, those demonesses were definitely only thinking of their own pleasure. A bunch of little things controlling the big one, such debauched wretches, they definitely didn't care about your experience!"

As the words left her mouth, Lu Qingqing's courage involuntarily increased. Her small hands, which had been around Pei Yuhan's back, became restless, attempting to lift Pei Yuhan's daoist robe.

"Senior Brother, Qingqing knows you were tormented by those demonesses, and didn't have a good experience. Let Qingqing soothe Senior Brother's pain!"

With that, before Pei Yuhan could react to what his junior sister had said, such bold and suggestive words, he was pushed down by the girl shorter than him. Lu Qingqing skillfully sat on Pei Yuhan's abs.

"Senior Brother, you don't need to force yourself anymore. Qingqing knows everything! Qingqing also wants to help Senior Brother share his pain!"

"Wait... Qingqing, did you misunderstand something? Those are just rumors, how could Senior Brother..."

"Qingqing doesn't believe it! If Senior Brother didn't do anything, why are you afraid to look at Qingqing?"

At this moment, Pei Yuhan turned his head. His junior sister was only wearing a sheer garment, how could he possibly look directly at her?

Seeing her senior brother still unwilling to look at her, Lu Qingqing felt a surge of jealousy. She forcefully turned his head, staring intently at Pei Yuhan's handsome face.

The originally thin sheer garment now appeared and disappeared in Pei Yuhan's vision. Pei Yuhan's gaze couldn't help but freeze.

Seeing her senior brother's stunned gaze below her, Lu Qingqing felt a surge of impulse.

"Qingqing, what are you doing? You... mmmph..."

Without waiting for him to finish, Lu Qingqing unhesitatingly sealed the lips of the man beneath her, her kiss clumsy yet filled with absolute dominance.

Lu Qingqing no longer cared about her senior brother's reaction. No matter how he punished her later, at this moment, Lu Qingqing just wanted to experience the taste of her senior brother, whom she had yearned for for over thirty years.

At this moment, Lu Qingqing felt very calm, only wanting to savor the present moment.

From the words spoken earlier, Lu Qingqing had already realized that her senior brother had indeed not been defiled by those detestable sluts. However, a nameless anger rose within her.

Lu Qingqing knew that such an opportunity was rare. She had to go along with the misunderstanding and climb higher, finding a breakthrough for her relationship with her senior brother.

This kiss was very sweet.

It was rare in this lifetime to have the chance to taste a sweeter kiss than this.

Lu Qingqing wanted to use her tongue to pry open Pei Yuhan's teeth, but this caused Pei Yuhan to snap out of his shock. He pushed the person on top of him away.

"Qingqing, you've misunderstood. I, your brother, was not... uh... that."

Pei Yuhan looked at the half-covered delicate body in front of him, quickly took off his daoist robe, and covered Lu Qingqing with it. He casually wiped away the dampness at the corner of his lips.

At this moment, Pei Yuhan felt a mix of emotions. His junior sister had just had a subtle disagreement with him due to a misunderstanding the day before, and today she had made such an outrageous move.

Lu Qingqing, immersed in the joy of her partial victory, feigned a look of shyness and relief.

"Oh... is that so, Senior Brother? Junior Sister only heard the rumors from outsiders and subconsciously felt Senior Brother was wronged and wanted to help Senior Brother... that's why I made that offensive move just now..."

Pei Yuhan didn't know how to face the situation, so he changed the subject and took out the Five Elements Spirit Earth from his storage ring.

"Qingqing, this is a spirit item rewarded by the sect for Core Formation. Take good care of it. It can improve the quality of your Core Formation when you form it, and even if you fail, it can greatly reduce the damage to your foundation."

Pei Yuhan thrust the Five Elements Spirit Earth into Lu Qingqing's hand without explanation. Lu Qingqing felt the seven-colored radiance emanating from the spirit item in her hand and was momentarily surprised.

But this was followed by joy and a heartache.

Lu Qingqing connected everything that had happened today. Although she didn't know what the Core Formation spirit item in her hand was, it felt incredibly hot.

Her senior brother had always been a cultivator who maintained his integrity. Even during the most difficult times for Shiyuan Sword Manor, he had never considered compromising with some of the female elders in the sect for resources.

Now, because she was about to form her core, he had done things that would be mocked behind his back by the disciples of the Sword Sect...

At this thought, Lu Qingqing felt as if the flesh in her heart was being squeezed, and her eyes were misted over.

Pei Yuhan was still on the side, explaining the usage of the Five Elements Spirit Earth. However, Lu Qingqing only felt that the man's face before her was more gentle and reliable than before, and that strange feeling intensified.

I really want... to devour him.

Lu Qingqing hugged him again, her dark hair messy, burying her face along with it.

"Wuwuwu... Senior Brother, why are you so good to me?"

"Qingqing is so touched she's about to cry..."

Pei Yuhan was stunned at first, then he stroked the girl's hair, his tone softening.

His junior sister was still just a little girl, after all.

"Now that only you and I, brother and sister, remain in Shiyuan Sword Manor, if Senior Brother isn't good to you, should I go take care of those unruly demonesses?"

Hearing the teasing remark at the end, Lu Qingqing pinched Pei Yuhan's waist again, just like when she first arrived at Shiyuan Sword Manor. At that time, Lu Qingqing, who had just transformed, looked only seven or eight years old.

"Senior Brother, you're so annoying. You always tease me whenever Qingqing is about to cry."

"Every time Senior Brother got hurt and came back before, he always hid it from Qingqing, always forcing a smile like an elder. He didn't tell Qingqing about today's mission either..."

Lu Qingqing retorted verbally, but her heart felt warm. She couldn't help but feel a secret joy.

Not only had she gotten closer to Senior Brother today, but he had also patted her head...

Lu Qingqing felt like she had achieved victory once again today, she was absolutely crushing it.

Pei Yuhan, hearing his junior sister's complaint, subconsciously remembered something.

"Right, Qingqing, Senior Brother might have to attend a banquet hosted by the Xuanyuan Sword Sect and the Qingyou Dao Sect tonight. I might be back quite late, so you don't need to wait for Senior Brother for dinner tonight."

Upon hearing the word "banquet," Lu Qingqing subconsciously thought of something, and a sense of unease welled up in her heart.

"Senior Brother, that banquet... who else will be there?"

"The banquet should be fine. Senior Brother is just accompanying Uncle-Master Rao; there's no special mission."

Wait a minute..
