The Senior Sister Arrived at Just the Right Time
The moon is bright and the stars are few tonight.
The last flickering candlelight in this magnificent city quietly went out.
It was time to drift off to sleep.
Ji Lingruo, dressed in a loose brocade robe, leaned against the window and gazed out.
Her clothes slipped down her shoulders, revealing her fair skin, which shone brightly in the moonlight.
The young girl was still lost in a faint melancholy and did not notice the unintentional glimpse of her beautiful skin.
"Senior brother..."
"Um?"
You Su just came out of the shower stall, her body still damp with moisture, her long, ink-black hair casually tied up.
"Do you think... Qiao Xiuying and Xiang Wenting will regret meeting each other?"
Ji Lingruo had just finalized her feelings for You Su two days ago, but then she witnessed a tragedy born out of love. To make matters worse, the two were separated by racial barriers, so the young girl couldn't help but feel uneasy.
You Su sensed the unease in the girl's heart. He walked slowly behind Ji Lingruo gently put his arm around her waist from behind.
He rested his chin on Ji Lingruo's right shoulder, inhaling the delicate fragrance of the girl's hair, and said softly:
"Like a silkworm spinning silk until death, or a candle burning until it's ash, Xiang Wenting wouldn't have willingly sought death if he had regretted it."
Ji Lingruo felt her slender waist being embraced, and her face instantly froze.
Although the two had already had a deeper conversation, this natural intimacy still made her a little uncomfortable, but she only blushed slightly and did not pull away.
In this moment of turmoil, to have someone hold me like this and offer comfort...
Perhaps this is the meaning of love...
The girl felt much more at ease and silently recited the poem that You Su had just read, feeling a deep sense of emotion.
She knew very well that You Su's poem was not just empty talk; if necessary, he would indeed burn himself to ashes for her.
"I don't know where you stole these verses from, but every single one of them is so moving."
You Su leaned her head closer to Ji Lingruo, nuzzling her ear intimately for a while before smiling and saying:
"Didn't your senior brother tell you? For scholars, what's called stealing isn't called stealing, it's called burglary."
Ji Lingruo hearing this, but still retorted:
"Pretentious posturing. A heart thief is a thief, but isn't a heart stealer also a thief?"
The winter night was chilly, and a sudden gust of cold wind blew in through the window.
You Su had just come out of the bath and her body was still damp. When the cold wind blew, she unconsciously hugged the warm, delicate body in front of her even tighter, which made the girl blush and even made her body feel warmer.
"Whether it's stealing or pilfering, it's better than my junior sister brazenly stealing someone's heart like a robber."
"Who, who is the robber...?"
The girl tilted her head slightly in embarrassment, knowing that You Su was implying that she had been so arrogant as to want to join his Mandarin Sword Sect more than three years ago, and then she had forcefully entered the blind man's mundane life like a robbery.
At that time You Su was extremely unwilling, but now he wished he could never be separated from her.
"Instead of blaming me for being a robber, blame yourself for being too greedy for stealing."
Ji Lingruo also used the story of You Su's affair with her own sister to retaliate against You Su, but she only touched on it and didn't say it outright. After all, in this passionate night, she didn't want her lover to hear about other women.
This undoubtedly touched a nerve with You Su, who could only change the subject indirectly, feigning a slight sigh:
"Anyway, my heart was still stolen by my junior sister, wasn't it? As for her heart, I wonder if I've managed to steal hers yet..."
Ji Lingruo. In the past two nights of passionate lovemaking, You Su had whispered countless sweet nothings in her ear, but she couldn't bring herself to say them out of shame.
Isn't action enough? Does he need to hear it from his own mouth before he can be at ease?
However, given her personality, admitting to such blatant words as "You've stolen my heart" was simply too much for her. So, the girl could only bite her delicate red lips and whisper, barely a whisper:
"Then why don't you check yourself to see if you actually stole it..."
You Su's expression froze, wondering if he was hallucinating, but the girl's slightly trembling body seemed to convey her unspeakable feelings to him in a peculiar way.
This made You Su feel somewhat ashamed. He had only meant to tease her, but he never expected that this spoiled girl would actually take off her prickly shell in order to show him her softness.
Unable to contain his emotions, You Su's hand, which was on her waist, slowly moved upwards, reaching for the girl's heart that he had stolen.
The night breeze was slightly cool. Ji Lingruo admiring the moon by the window, so she pulled her cloud robe up high. But her plump and round breasts were still full and perky, standing proudly. The only exposed part, her delicate collarbone, was filled with the bright moonlight.
Suddenly feeling her heart being held, Ji Lingruo blushed crimson, panting heavily, feeling a tingling sensation in her heart.
She had clearly made up her mind before tonight that no matter what reason You Su used, she would absolutely not agree to his proposal.
The first time was a reward for showing his sincerity, the second time was to help him break through to the Spirit Platform Realm, but why did he offer himself up this time?
I, Ji Lingruo, am not a woman who is obsessed with romantic love!
If this continues, won't we end up partying with him every night?
How can this be allowed?!
But she was so deeply in love that she was completely weak and had no strength to refuse You Su.
Or perhaps this couple, newly in love, secretly yearned to be inseparable and deeply in love.
You Su gently nibbled on the girl's delicate earlobe, eliciting a soft moan from her.
"Junior sister... I also want to prove to you that you have truly stolen my heart too..."
"How... how are you going to prove it...?"
Ji Lingruo's cheeks flushed red as she spoke softly and sweetly.
But as soon as she spoke, she knew it was pointless to ask.
Through the thin silk garment, she could clearly feel the strange sensation between her thighs.
Without a doubt, this is evidence against You Su.
The girl's shapely buttocks were firm yet supple, both substantial and light.
You Su's Qi and Blood was rushing to his head, and he leaned forward, one hand still comforting the girl's true feelings, the other hand reaching out to brace against the window frame.
Ji Lingruo, like a delicate cloud trembling in the rain, begged for mercy:
"Not here..."
Where is it?
Ji Lingruo suddenly felt You Su stiffen and actually take a step back.
She assumed You Su was deliberately teasing her, using that kind of feigned indifference to force her to agree to be by the window... After all, he had lured her to the wall and table in the same way the previous two nights.
But this spot by the window is really...
"Then... we need to close the window..."
Ji Lingruo was already completely swayed, so she made the final compromise.
In fact, she didn't dislike this extra stimulation; on the contrary, she secretly looked forward to it.
For example, when she was learning Qi cultivation in You Su's room in Chuyun City, she would often become more shy and timid because she thought about her Mistress next door.
Why are the windows closed? Don't you want others to see?
Upon hearing this, Ji Lingruo was extremely ashamed and angry, secretly resenting that her senior brother had gone too far.
She didn't come to her senses until she felt a slight pinch on her waist.
The two sentences she spoke to him—that wasn't her senior's voice at all; it was clearly a woman's voice!
She was instantly jolted as if doused with cold water, and opened her dazed eyes to look ahead—
Ji Lingruo's mind had almost stopped thinking. She didn't dislike unusual stimuli that amplified her emotions, but she couldn't handle such a strong stimulus.
Before the First Elder left, he mentioned that Wangshu Fairy was on her way here, but he didn't say that she would arrive at such a coincidence.
Little did they know that Wangshu was so eager to see her junior brother and, of course, her junior sister, that she flew here without stopping, seemingly without a care in the way of her depleted Mystic Qi.
"Senior sister..."
You Su murmured, her expression a mixture of sorrow and joy.
You Su and Ji Lingruo did not sleep all night.
I can't sleep, and I'm afraid to sleep.
Wangshu Fairy sat at the table all night, and the two of them had no choice but to sit with her all night. Feeling guilty, neither of them dared to touch the large bed where they had spent two nights together.
Regarding the two of them pressing close together by the window last night, You Su originally wanted to frankly say that it was a matter between men and women, but Ji Lingruo he could finish speaking.
The young girl was overcome with shame; how could she possibly tell others about such a thing?
Furthermore, she always felt that talking about these adult matters with her senior sister, who was as innocent as a child, was a defilement of her senior sister's soul.
It's best not to write on this blank sheet of paper too early.
So she answered first, and after Wangshu saw through several of her lies, she admitted that the two of them were testing each other's sincerity.
If someone gently rubs your chest and you notice your heart beating rapidly, it means you truly like that person.
Yes, it's only the kind of liking that's between senior and junior brothers/sisters.
So Wangshu immediately wanted You Su to rub her too, but Ji Lingruo cleverly defused the situation, saying:
"This kind of test can only be done on people you don't trust. Doing it on someone you trust is a sign of distrust. Have you learned it, Wangshu Fairy?"
Wangshu Fairy nodded blankly, "I've learned it."
You Su smiled wryly, realizing that his junior sister had only made things more complicated by trying to cover it up.
However, at least the goal was achieved; the senior sister did not pursue the matter further, but what she actually learned remains unknown.
Ji Lingruo sat alone all night, annoyed with herself for not being braver. Now that she and her senior brother had established a relationship, why did she have to hide it from this silly senior sister?
Even when facing her sister and the Lotus Sword Venerable, she had the courage to admit her relationship with her senior brother.
Wangshu Fairy's quiet words, "Thank you, Junior Sister, for teaching me these things," completely dispelled her self-reproach.
Before formally becoming disciples, the two addressed each other as "Fairy." Ji Lingruo never changed her address to her face, only calling her "Senior Sister" when speaking to others. Wangshu Fairy also always called her Fairy Lingruo, as if the two had never acknowledged each other as fellow disciples.
Just because he taught her this fabricated nonsense, did she immediately acknowledge him as her junior sister?
This senior sister, though seemingly shrewd, is easier to fool than a fool.
Ji Lingruo couldn't help but recall the scene when she first arrived at the mountain and clashed with Wangshu Fairy.
This senior student seemed to have a different kind of possessiveness towards You Su, like a little girl who couldn't bear to see her favorite toy taken away. But she also seemed to know that the toy didn't actually belong to her, so she expressed her gratitude to herself for sharing the toy with her.
How heartbroken would she be if I took away the toy she wanted and told her she could never play with it again?
Just like when you were a child and wanted your older sister's hidden toys, and your sister, who pretended to be mature, secretly shed tears behind your back, you must have felt just as heartbroken, right?
Wangshu Fairy was so innocent that it was almost unbearable to see the sadness in her eyes. So Ji Lingruo was helpless against her own soft heart, only hoping that she would not regret her decision not to hurt her senior sister's pure heart.
Zi Yiyi had known about the Goddess's arrival since the previous night, but she didn't dare to disturb her late at night, so she came to pay her respects early in the morning.
Qiao Xiuyun's eyes were swollen; she must have cried for a long time yesterday.
The little girl was very curious about the elegant Fairy wearing Rabbit Mask, but dared not approach her because of her cold appearance and taciturn nature.
Although the girl was young, she could tell who the center of attention was among these people, and couldn't help but think to herself: Brother You is really amazing, all the women around him are so beautiful...
Wait, I think I am too?
Unexpectedly, people from the City Lord's Mansion approached them while they were having dinner and told You Su and the others that Qiao Xiuyun's parents had come to Moxie City.
The two elders were actually concerned about their two daughters. They had originally planned to ask someone to go to Moxie City to inquire about the situation first, but they did not expect their younger daughter to be so impulsive. She stole the money and came to find her older sister. After they found out, they rushed over without stopping, spending almost all of their savings in the process.
After learning half the truth, the two simple elderly people and their youngest daughter huddled together and wept uncontrollably.
Qiao Xiuyun also gave Ji Lingruo the money she had saved as a reward, but Ji Lingruo returned it double. She accepted the reward, but returned the sentiment of being an older sister.
This money wasn't enough to buy a house in an inland city, so Ji Lingruo told Qiao Xiuyun that she still needed to work hard and fulfill her sister's dying wish to free them from the Black Soil.
Qiao Xiuyun nodded with a grateful look in her eyes.
Escorted by special personnel from the City Lord's Mansion, the family carried Qiao Xiuying's urn on their way home.
Now that the plan to lure the mother Ghost Mite out using the Ghost Mite had been decided, and after making some simple preparations, all that was left was to wait for night to fall.
After all, evil creatures love to stir up trouble on dark and windy nights.
During the day You Su was not idle either. Ji Lingruo dragged him to take a boat ride along the Qu Huai River to tour this unique and magnificent city.
Wangshu Fairy was also on the boat, Zi Yiyi, citing the need to supervise the exams, was naturally present as well.
This small boat has become the most beautiful sight on the Qu Huai River today, attracting countless onlookers on the shore.
It is worth mentioning that You Su encountered the mysterious and refined Young Master Xiao again on the river.
To You Su's surprise, his senior sister had actually met him before and even responded to Young Master Xiao's greeting, which was no ordinary occurrence.
For some unknown reason, You Su hastily started rowing the boat and bid farewell to Young Master Xiao.
Under Ji Lingruo's gossip, Wangshu Fairy only said that she felt that the person's aura was somewhat familiar, but she didn't know who it resembled, which is why she remembered this person.
"Senior sister, you can't just befriend someone because their aura sounds familiar, understand? Besides, you don't even know whose aura they resemble. What if they're a bad person?"
You Su taught in this way.
"But when I first met my junior brother, it was because I felt that his aura was the most comfortable I had ever seen that I remembered him."
You Su suddenly felt a sense of affirmation and laughed:
"But my junior brother isn't a bad person."
"Um."
Sitting between the two, Ji Lingruo rolled her eyes countless times upon hearing this, pinching You Su's waist several times, secretly annoyed that this blind man was acting like an old father who didn't want his daughter to run off with that blond-haired boy.
In short, as the night deepened, the atmosphere became increasingly heavy.
Night has finally fallen.
