Miss Wangshu and Lingruo Treat You Su's Illness (56k)

Ji Lingruo did not stay by the Lotus Birth Pool all night. She politely declined He Shutong's offer to stay and instead chose to return to the courtyard to face the truth.

If you can't even handle this, how can you expect to get along with me in the future?

Walking on the road, the heavy snow was still falling, and a thin layer of down had already covered the ground.

Ji Lingruo looked towards her senior brother's room, but even the candlelight was out, and all she could see through the window lattice was darkness.

But she knew that this did not mean the people inside had given up; on the contrary, they simply did not have the time to light another red candle.

A persistent, soft groan echoed through the courtyard on a snowy night, making Ji Lingruo blush slightly.

I was unaware of my own shame when I couldn't help but moan when I was deeply moved, but now that I hear others moaning, I realize how captivating their voices are, even if those restrained sounds are somewhat monotonous.

When Wangshu to others, she usually replies with a single "hmm," and if she gets a little excited, she'll say "hmm hmm."

Ji Lingruo secretly thought to herself, "Senior Sister still doesn't talk enough. At a time like this, she really runs out of words. She can only say 'uh-huh,' and can't even 'ah.'"

Thinking about it that way, isn't it true that the sound of my humming is more vivid and pleasant?

My senior sister is a spirit who has transformed into a human, so she definitely doesn't have much experience... If we're really comparing, she'd probably be better off dual cultivating with me...

Pshaw, what am I comparing myself to my senior sister for?

In the end, wasn't it this greedy senior brother who benefited from all the comparisons she made with her senior sister?

Ji Lingruo quickly shook her head, trying to shake off the thought of comparison.

But as soon as she came to her senses, she found herself standing in front of You Su's room, as if she had subconsciously wanted to go inside.

She felt a surge of embarrassment and anger, unsure of what had gotten into her.

But then she thought, her senior sister is newly married and must lack knowledge. Shouldn't she, as the "first wife" or the junior sister, offer some guidance? Wait, isn't this a bit like being a maidservant?

She hesitated for a moment, then raised her hand.

However, she eventually gave up, unable to bear witnessing such a scene, yet unwilling to ruin someone else's wedding night.

So he dashed back to his room, making sure to close all the doors and windows tightly, as if afraid any sound might get in.

Her face burned with rage. Even though she was willing, she couldn't shake off the lingering sense of grievance. So she took out a piece of paper and began grinding ink.

She hadn't replied to her sister's letter yet, but now she finally knew what to write—she decided to tattle.

She could tell that her senior brother still couldn't forget her sister. Although her sister seemed distant from him, she actually held a very high place in his heart.

She had also noticed the look in her senior's eyes when he talked about her sister. It was a very special look, as if he had encountered a formidable opponent, or as if he had met a kindred spirit.

"If you're not afraid of me, then let your older sister teach you a lesson and see if you dare to be so greedy again."

Ji Lingruo's writing flowed like a divine inspiration, conveying a sense of someone who had suffered injustice and sought help from their maternal family.

However, the wording did not denigrate the senior sister's image; it merely amplified You Su's greed.

Meanwhile, You Su, inside the room, was unaware that his junior sister was already preparing to find help to curb his ambitions; he was caught in a fierce battle.

He was blind, but he knew his enemy was a tiger, a white jade tiger.

At first, he had a slight advantage in the fight and even thought he could tame the tiger, but the white tiger's tenacity exceeded his expectations.

It possesses unprecedented learning and adaptability. Running through the snow-covered valley, it transformed from prey into hunter, chasing You Su and making him flee in all directions, intending to devour him whole.

As it turns out, no amount of theoretical knowledge can compensate for a lack of physical strength.

You Su possesses the Tai Sui Power and has an astonishing physique, yet even he cannot bridge the gap between the middle stage of the Feather Transformation Realm and the Water Condensing Lower Realm.

You Su leaned against the corner of the bed and let out a long, drawn-out moan.

"Junior brother, are you tired?"

In the deep darkness of the night, only a pair of bright blue eyes shone with a mesmerizing yet excited light.

"No, no," You Su through gritted teeth.

"But how come it..."

"It's alright... I just need to catch my breath for a bit."

"Oh... did I go too far?"

"Hehe, senior sister is still a long way off..."

All night long, Ji Lingruo tossed and turned in bed, unable to fall asleep. As dawn broke, she was still feeling restless after a sleepless night when suddenly there was a knock on the door.

"Junior sister?"

It turned out to be her senior sister who came looking for her.

She rubbed her sore eyes, unable to understand why her senior sister had come to see her, so she opened the door for her.

Wangshu changed into a new dress, a blue and white one. The girl's naturally clear eyes were somewhat evasive, and even her usually held-up head was lowered, as if she were afraid of something.

"What's wrong, Senior Sister?"

"Junior sister... I have a question I'd like to ask you..."

Wangshu quietly closed the door.

Ji Lingruo raised her eyebrows slightly, secretly straightening her chest and raising her head:

"Senior sister, just ask if you want to."

She boldly guessed that the question asked at this time must be related to the matter of dual cultivation.

As a senior, I should generously offer my senior sister some guidance, which will also allow me to establish a 'knowledgeable' and impressive image in her eyes.

"Hmm... Have you and your junior brother ever practiced dual cultivation?"

A blush crept across Ji Lingruo she thought to herself how quickly the topics the two sisters were discussing had changed. What used to be limited to children's playful banter had transformed overnight into intimate conversations between women.

"Of course I've practiced dual cultivation... but not often, just occasionally. What would you like to ask, Senior Sister?"

Wangshu blinked her blue eyes, wondering why she hadn't asked that last question.

"I want to ask, did I do something wrong...?"

"Made a mistake? Why do you say that?" Ji Lingruo a little surprised. With her senior brother around, what could she have done wrong? It couldn't be that she went to the wrong place, could it?

"It's just... it's just that my junior brother is sleeping the whole time and can't get out of bed..."

Wangshu hung her head, like a child who had done something wrong. "Last night I asked him if I had done something wrong, but he wouldn't say. Then, slowly, he couldn't keep his eyes open anymore. When it was light this morning, I noticed his complexion was very bad..."

Ji Lingruo listened with winks and expressions, her gaze towards her senior sister shifting from strange to admiring.

She knew perfectly well that it wasn't her senior sister who had done anything wrong, but rather that some proud man had overexerted himself while trying to be strong.

She almost forgot that her senior sister was the leader of the young Sword Cultivator in the Central Yuan Continent. As Sword Cultivator, her physique was naturally among the best of her generation. The advantages that her senior brother was so proud of in front of her seemed somewhat weak in comparison to her senior sister.

"Don't worry, senior sister, I'll go with you to take a look first."

Ji Lingruo's lips curled into a playful smile, as if to say, "There's always someone better."

The two women pushed open the door, and the lingering, alluring scent inside was all too familiar to Ji Lingruo.

"Junior sister... what brings you here?"

You Su's eyes were blurry, and his face was pale. He quietly pulled the blanket tighter around him.

"I came to see you. Your senior sister said you were sick."

"Sick? How could that be?" You Su looked embarrassed, but forced a smile and said, "It's just a relapse of an old illness..."

"An old ailment? How come I didn't know you had an old ailment?"

Ji Lingruo sat on the edge of the bed, her face showing feigned concern.

The bewildered Wangshu stood apologetically to the side, waiting for his junior sister to examine his junior brother.

"Hehe, it's nothing serious, I'll be fine after some rest..."

"Junior brother is not well. He should be treated when he is sick. I will go find the Third Elder to treat him."

"Senior Sister, no!" You Su hurriedly called out to Wangshu.

"Senior Sister, there's no need to trouble the Third Elder. I know about Senior Brother's illness; I can treat him."

"Really?! Then I'll leave it to you, Junior Sister!" Wangshu was still blaming herself for her mistake.

"Pull back the blanket, let me take a look at your brother's injury."

"Is the affected area under the blanket?" Wangshu asked, somewhat puzzled.

"No need, Junior Sister..." You Su pressed the blanket down.

"Junior brother, you must listen to me!" Wangshu said righteously.

Immediately, Wangshu pried You Su's hands off and yanked the blanket off with a whoosh, as if removing You Su's last fig leaf, giving You Su no chance to refuse.

Ji Lingruo found it extremely amusing to look at her naked senior brother.

She glanced at it with amusement, examined the affected area that You Su was covering with her hand, and clicked her tongue:

"Tsk tsk, it's all a bit swollen, they must really be reluctant to part with it..."

"Cough cough cough!"

You Su coughed heavily a few times, trying to get his junior sister to give him some face. After all, his senior sister didn't understand these things very well, and she probably didn't know that You Su had been forcing himself to stay awake all night.

But Ji Lingruo was certain she wouldn't let him have his way. "Lower back and knees are sore, dizzy and lightheaded; the affected area is red and swollen, weak and unable to move. Senior sister, senior brother's illness isn't too serious, but it's not minor either; it's called kidney deficiency. Hmm, it's indeed a recurring problem for senior brother."

"Kidney deficiency? Should we tell the Third Elder and ask her to get some medicine for you?" Wangshu asked with great concern.

"Absolutely not!" You Su's pale face flushed slightly with anger.

Ji Lingruo chuckled, "Senior Sister, please give Senior Brother some face. This illness is something difficult to talk about and cannot be told to outsiders. I know the prescription; I'll go with you later to get some deer antler and epimedium for him."

"Thank you, Junior Sister!" Wangshu said True Intention.

You Su's expression was uncertain. With such abundant Yang energy, how could he possibly have kidney deficiency? However, the difficulty of his senior sister's treatment was indeed beyond his expectations. In order to leave a good impression, he had no choice but to grit his teeth and persevere. Now that things had come to this, he could only bite the bullet and accept the illness.

"By the way, senior sister, treating this illness can't rely solely on diet therapy; it also requires other methods."

"What method?"

Ji Lingruo mysteriously took out a book from her Universe Bag. "This is a secret manual from our original sect, specializing in this field. I have mastered it, and I'm giving it to my senior sister to study. It can be used to heal my brother's illness."

You Su raised his eyebrows slightly, feeling a chill in the affected area.

Wangshu gratefully accepted the book and murmured:

"What... what 108 styles...?"

You Su's pupils dilated slightly, and her left eyelid twitched incessantly.

He knew his junior sister had no good intentions; this method wasn't for treating kidney deficiency at all, it was clearly meant to make people suffer from kidney deficiency!

He secretly remembered his junior sister's mischievousness and decided that he must regain his prowess with her next time.

He struggled to even hold his own against his senior sister, but with his current strength, bullying his junior sister would be a piece of cake.

After resting on the peak for a few days, You Su did not attempt dual cultivation again, as she had neither the will nor the strength.

Besides physical exhaustion, there was another major factor preventing him from getting up at the time: his senior sister's first time.

This pure power was so immense that it took You Su three whole days just to refine it. You Su found it hard to describe the feeling; it was completely different from what his junior sister or Miss Xue Ruo had experienced. It didn't bring about a change in his cultivation level; rather, it felt as if he had awakened from the Black Coffin, as if his entire being had been sublimated.

The Mystic Qi within his spiritual platform did not increase; what changed was his spiritual platform and his origin, which became more solid and pure.

There was a kind of spiritual sense in the Unseen, as if even his breathing was drawing upon the Mystic Qi of heaven and earth, as if he were a part of it. He tried meditation and cultivation, only to find that his progress was much faster than before.

The title of "Daughter of Heavenly Dao" is truly well-deserved.

Unfortunately, the difference in cultivation level between his senior sister and him was too great, so their dual cultivation was actually less effective than that with a junior sister of similar cultivation level.

But rather than viewing dual cultivation as a means, You Su prefers to see it as a dessert served after the main course.

Eating alone is not just about filling your stomach, but also about satisfying your taste buds.

Having finally recovered to full health, he used the excuse of paying a New Year's visit to the He Manor.

Wangshu and Ji Lingruo, of course, wouldn't let him go alone and insisted on following him. However, they had no intention of following him into the He Manor. Instead, they took a look at the new year's atmosphere in Henggao City.

The New Year's greeting was a pretense; You Su's real purpose was to visit He Mingpei regularly, as entrusted by He Kongyue. This lonely old man, confined to his residence, certainly needed some companionship.

As soon as he entered, He Kongyue's trusted confidant came to greet You Su, allowing him to enter the mansion smoothly without causing any disturbance.

After going through countless hardships, You Su managed to change into women's clothing in the corridor without anyone noticing.

He Mingpei was pleasantly surprised by his solo arrival. Although the old man suffered from dementia, he was very polite.

He did not bring You Su into the room, but instead asked You Su to talk in the courtyard with the door open, thus avoiding any appearance of impropriety.

The old man acted very familiar with He Kongyue, and no one knew what He Kongyue had said, but he even asked He Kongyue was reliable and when he planned to hold the wedding.

You Su shook his head secretly, realizing that Brother He had probably come with a mission at that fireworks display as well.

Instead of exposing him, he complied, and the kind old man seemed to genuinely regard him as his prospective daughter-in-law.

He Mingpei did not linger with You Su personally escorted him out of the courtyard. This old man at the Void Glimpse Realm so powerful that he couldn't even step out of the courtyard.

You Su walked a few steps on this deserted path, then quickly changed back into her own clothes.

However, when he stepped out of the alley, he was not greeted by the servant who had escorted him in, but by He Hongtu, one of the current de facto heads of the He family.

The old man was advanced in years, but he was tall and robust, even more robust and imposing than the young and vigorous You Su. With his sharp, eagle-like eyes, he exuded a strong sense of pressure.

"Is Young Master You entrusted by Kongyue?"

"Yes, Senior Hongtu."

"Since the old patriarch fell ill, no one but Kongyue is allowed to step into that courtyard."

"Perhaps You Su is more fortunate; Patriarch He has treated me well, so I thought I'd come to wish him a belated Happy New Year."

"You've put your heart into this." He Hongtu stroked his beard and nodded, his eyes showing approval. "Kongyue has been in seclusion in my He family's secret realm, and the old patriarch has no one to accompany him. Fortunately, you are here."

"It is an honor for You Su."

"Young Master You is too modest. It's just that the old patriarch's illness..." He Hongtu suddenly looked troubled.

"You Su and Brother He are best friends." You Su gave the answer indirectly.

"I understand." He Hongtu finally smiled with relief. "Young Master You is visiting during the holidays, why don't you move to my humble courtyard so I can show you some hospitality?"

You Su declined, explaining that someone else was waiting for him, and that neither his senior nor junior sisters liked unfamiliar places.

He Hongtu did not insist, and the servant who had been there before reappeared and led You Su out of the mansion.

Watching the boy's departing figure, He Hongtu's gaze gradually sharpened.

His earlobes twitched slightly, as if he had received some telepathic message, and then his lips moved as he replied softly:

"The main branch and the branches, aren't they all the same lineage? Her main branch has already died out, how can she still be qualified to be the main branch? Don't worry, He Kongyue has deceived us for so long, it's time for her to pay the price..."

The snow fell for several days, turning the entire Mount Henggao into a frosty white.

Wangshu also learned that You Su wasn't actually sick; she was just too powerful, so powerful that even her junior brother couldn't handle her...

Ji Lingruo thought her senior sister would be a little shy after learning the truth; after all, who would dare to admit such a thing after becoming a wife for the first time?

Wangshu didn't think so at all; on the contrary, she felt it was only natural.

"Reproduction and mating are the most basic instincts of all living beings. I followed my instincts, and what I did was right."

"What my senior sister said... makes some sense."

"Does your junior brother become this weak when he cultivates with your junior sister?"

"Of course!" Ji Lingruo blushed slightly.

Wangshu smiled, and Ji Lingruo was being stubborn, she didn't call her out on it.

Ji Lingruo smiled gently and took her senior sister's hand. She felt that her senior sister was becoming more and more understanding.

This caused a slight worry, so she quietly asked her senior sister about matters concerning the very foundation of reproduction.

After learning that her master had already taught her senior sister how to refine essence, she felt relieved. She touched her belly and felt that having a child was still too early for them. So she gave her senior sister a few more words of advice, telling her not to be careless.

Life goes on, and so must our spiritual practice.

He Shutong, as the master, was soaking alone in the Lotus Birth Pool. The three disciples outside had no secrets from each other. Moreover, ever since You Su set up a walkie-talkie that could transmit sound from the foot of the mountain to the top, even the Third Elder had been coming up the mountain less often. When there was something to do, he would send someone down the mountain to call the people on the mountain using the walkie-talkie. The First Elder had not come up at all.

Without the interference of outsiders, the three of them naturally became more intimate and at ease with each other.

However, such a beautiful thing as flying wing to wing never happened. No matter how badly Ji Lingruo was bullied by You Su, she would only ask her senior sister for help afterward, instead of asking for help on the spot. Wangshu would be even less likely to do so. You Su had a hard time dealing with her alone, so how could she dare to hope for a third party?

When Wangshu saw the two being intimate, she would tactfully step back or simply ignore it; Ji Lingruo did the same.

They seemed to have reached some kind of consensus, You Su didn't think anything of it. He was already happy and content enough, so why would he dare to ask for more?

Both junior and senior sisters are exceptionally beautiful and deserve their own pride. You Su is unwilling to pluck a flower; she only wishes for the day when the flower matures and droops. Besides, even if she could fulfill this man's ultimate dream now, with his current abilities, he would not be able to enjoy it.

Little did she know that the two women had no common ground whatsoever. Ji Lingruo acting on a plan devised by her sister. Ji Xueruo told her that this was the first wife's bottom line; in other words, she was the wife, and there was no reason for her to be with a concubine. Ji Lingruo deeply agreed and thus held firm to her beliefs.

Wangshu, on the other hand, was persuaded by He Shutong. Although He Shutong was Mandarin Sword Sect disciple, she was ultimately a conservative person. As an elder, she couldn't say much about such matters, nor could she interfere, so she could only give Wangshu more advice. She really didn't want the lotus-like Lotus Peak, so pure and serene, to become so gloomy.

Although it was always a one-on-one duel, You Su did not reach any consensus with the two women on how to divide the time between Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, or Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays.

In his view, these were all things that arose spontaneously and were driven by emotion, and it would be too far-fetched to classify them by rules.

But this didn't stop him from getting thinner and thinner, because after all, they were young men and women, and they really did develop feelings for each other every day.

If You Su went out to complete a mission issued by the Evil Warding Department for a few days, he wouldn't even go back to his own room on the day he returned. Instead, he would alternate between the two women's rooms.

In the end, He Shutong couldn't stand it anymore and set up a strict schedule for You Su.

In this way, You Su finally regained some of the vigor and strength of a young man, and his cultivation level also rose accordingly.

They chatted and played with their senior and junior sisters, and practiced and competed in swordsmanship.

Although Miss Xue Ruo Xue Ruo replied to my letters with concise and to the point, the correspondence never stopped.

The opening of the Bihua Pavilion was indeed a great success, even more popular than You Su had imagined. However, Qianhua Venerable made another underhanded move, so You Su punished her severely. Afterwards, he regretted it, feeling that the woman had done it on purpose.

In the blink of an eye, the days have passed.
