Junior Sister's Request

It was a new day. You Su tidied his belongings and walked out of the sect. Before leaving, he quietly went to check the formation that concealed the malevolent energy.

Malevolent energy is very subtle. The evil texts say that unless one has studied the obscure and difficult arts of detecting evil, even great cultivators in the Void Glimpse Realm would find it hard to detect it directly. Some even claim that malevolent spirits are the impurities shed by cultivators, making them seem like they originate from the same source, thus making it difficult for cultivators to distinguish them. Therefore, they often have to rely on external tools to detect malevolent energy.

This theory has always existed but never gained much traction. The reason is obvious: even if the theory were proven correct, few cultivators would be willing to give up the chance for longevity. Moreover, there are quite a few unreasonable aspects to this viewpoint.

You Su dared not be late again and hurried to the City Lord's mansion, only to be told that his opponent for today had forfeited.

You Su asked for his opponent's name and then roughly guessed the reason in his heart:

Because that person was one of those who had cornered him behind Wu Cheng, they must have seen the miserable state Sheng Ziling was in after being humiliated by me the other day and dared not confront me again. This was indeed a wise decision.

For most people in this city, they might never leave Chuyun City in their entire lives. Compared to the illusory dream of Divine Mountain, being able to continue living with dignity in this city is more important.

With no more matches, You Su turned and left without hesitation, not paying attention to anyone else's duels.

Returning to the sect, You Su prepared to start another day of cultivation. Just as he was about to continue studying the Ruyi Wind-Controlling Technique in his mind, Ji Lingruo walked in.

The young girl, wearing a light jade-colored skirt, stood by the door. Her face had an unhealthy flush, and she bit her lower lip as if wanting to say something.

This skirt fit Ji Lingruo's shapely figure very well, and it was one the girl often wore. Looking at it again, it seemed to have become slightly short. Before, only her plump ankles were visible when she walked, but now, even while standing, a beautiful portion of her calf was exposed. Her waist was even more slender and soft, and her hips seemed to have widened a bit. The chest, which used to fit her bun-sized breasts perfectly, was now bulging slightly, as if about to spill out.

It was as if, overnight, Junior Sister had grown up a little.

However, it would be too difficult for a blind person to notice these differences. Moreover, the evening lessons had not been conducted for the past two days, so You Su was unaware of the changes in Ji Lingruo's body.

Seeing the young girl enter the room without speaking, You Su abandoned his meditation posture and asked:

"What's wrong, Junior Sister? Is something the matter?"

"Can't I come if there's nothing wrong?"

Only by teasing You Su could Ji Lingruo feel at ease. She tugged at the hem of her skirt and the loose neckline, then sat down on her own.

"Of course, you can come. You're always welcome."

"Weren't you supposed to have a match? Why are you back so soon?" Ji Lingruo asked casually.

"My opponent forfeited." You Su sensed that Junior Sister definitely didn't want to ask about this.

"Oh..." Ji Lingruo lightly furrowed her delicate eyebrows and puffed out her cheeks, contemplating what to say to steer the conversation toward what she wanted to discuss.

"If you have something to say, Junior Sister, just say it directly." You Su's expression was gentle.

"You're so smart!" Ji Lingruo stuck out her tongue and said unhappily, "Hey! Let me ask you, should a Senior Brother give gifts to his Junior Sister?"

A big question mark appeared in You Su's mind. "Should, of course."

"Then what have you bought for me?"

"Hairpins, bracelets, storybooks, windmills, snacks..."

"Stop, stop, stop! Enough!" Ji Lingruo said angrily, "Why would a grown man remember so clearly?"

You Su smiled without speaking. "Just tell me what you want, Junior Sister, and Senior Brother will buy it for you."

"You! I have no clothes to wear! Buy me some." Ji Lingruo's voice became smaller and smaller towards the end, as if she had lost steam.

"Don't you always refuse new clothes, Junior Sister? You said the fabrics in the city couldn't compare to your own, so you looked down on them," You Su asked curiously.

"Can't I want them now?"

"Of course, you can. Then I'll take you shopping." It was rare for You Su to go out with Ji Lingruo. His Junior Sister and Mistress were top-tier homebodies in his past life.

Ji Lingruo glanced at her slightly revealing clothes and said shyly, "I... I'm not comfortable, and I don't want to go out."

Only then did You Su remember that his Junior Sister not only disliked meeting strangers but was also possessed by an evil spirit, so she couldn't go out casually. He felt he deserved to be punished and wished he could slap himself.

"Then I'll go buy them for you, Junior Sister. What kind do you like?"

Ji Lingruo took out a folded piece of paper from her purse and said:

"Since you can't see anyway, I don't expect you to buy anything too pretty. Just let the shop owner pick for you. Remember to say not to buy what many people wear! This young lady doesn't want to be like others. Also! There are color requirements. My favorite is light cyan. If not available, buy other light colors, but definitely not dark colors, they're as ugly as your black and gray clothes!"

"Buy three summer dresses. It'll be autumn soon, so buy three autumn dresses too. As for winter clothes... let's skip them for now. And don't you dare only pick the cheap ones! Even if you want to save money to buy a house under Divine Mountain, at least buy... one good one, right? This young lady is deigning to join your broken sect, you can't treat me like that! Did you remember everything I said?"

You Su's only thought now was to buy the best dresses from the best clothing store in Chuyun City for his Junior Sister.

"I remember. What about the size?"

"I won't tell you!" Ji Lingruo blushed. She actually preferred her previous budding figure; her current slightly more mature body made her feel a little unaccustomed. "Here, this is the paper. It has all my requirements and sizes written on it. Don't let anyone else read it to you! Only show it to the shopkeeper, or I'll never speak to you again! Also, most importantly, you can't do anything strange to the dresses!"

"What strange things could I do?" You Su asked innocently.

"Heh! Last time, who knows who pressed their face against my dress and sniffed it, making me never wear that dress again!"

Ji Lingruo looked at You Su's honest face with disdain and said hatefully. But only she knew that she had never disliked that dress.

You Su's face darkened. He tried to explain, "Junior Sister, why don't you believe me? It really wasn't intentional that time. A strong wind suddenly blew when I was putting away my clothes, and your dress just happened to be blown onto my face. See? We hang our clothes separately now, so this kind of thing doesn't happen anymore."

Ji Lingruo recalled the explosive scene at the time. A strong wind did blow, and the thin dress did seem to be blown onto You Su's face, even sticking to it and outlining the firm contours of his face...

But no matter how strong the wind, the fabric couldn't have gone into your nose! Even when I secretly sniffed your clothes, I didn't inhale that forcefully!

Ji Lingruo's cheeks turned even redder. She couldn't be bothered to continue this topic and handed over the paper, saying:

"You cultivate first, then go buy them in the afternoon. And buy dinner on your way back."

You Su put away the paper and gave a reliable smile:

"Don't worry, Junior Sister. Mission guaranteed to be completed!"
