Is This Really Sleeping?

Like waking from a dream, after a stick of incense has burned, the flower boats on the Kongling Riverbank are lit up one by one, swaying on the water like blooming flowers.

In the distance, the ethereal city streets are awakened once more by the flickering lights of countless homes, and the sounds of people gradually drift in.

After the silence of the night sky that lasted for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, it seemed much more lively than before.

Perhaps it's because tonight, the festival of lights truly begins.

Jiang Lin felt as if something had hit his thigh, and his body jolted!

Wow!

What happened?

Was the atmosphere just too wonderful?

My senior sister is so bold!

Like a young girl hesitant to accept something, Jiang Lin touched his bleeding nose and softly called out:

"Senior sister, you can't..."

However, Jiang Lin soon realized that something was wrong.

Because there was no follow-up?

Looking down, I realized that my senior sister had fallen asleep, her head resting on my lap...

The girl with her head resting on her thigh was breathing steadily, but since her senior sister was facing her...

It feels... somewhat indecent...

And some... harp...

But is it even possible to fall asleep like this?

He reached out and gently curled a strand of his senior sister's hair, playing with her silky soft hair. Gazing at her sleeping profile, he felt as if he were looking at an exquisitely beautiful sleeping woman, a sight he could never tire of.

But regardless, this is a great opportunity!

I already confessed my feelings.

"The Moon is Beautiful" is taken from the poetic confession of the male protagonist to the female protagonist in Natsume Sōseki's novel. It is a well-known phrase in Japan and can be considered a clear yet subtle expression of love.

Anyway, the system didn't require me to explicitly say "I love you" or anything like that.

This confession is so poetic, and it truly captures the mood. Even though my senior sister couldn't understand it, it's absolutely perfect!

Then came the kissing of his senior sister...

Jiang Lin glanced around to make sure no one was there, then turned to look at his senior sister's profile. He swallowed hard, feeling a little nervous.

But it's alright. Didn't I kiss my senior sister's hair last time? Now that she's asleep again, I can definitely do it again.

Just as Jiang Lin picked up a strand of his senior sister's hair, Jiang Lin hesitated for a moment.

Wait a moment!

Last time, I even chickened out after being scolded by readers!

If I kiss my hair again this time, doesn't that mean I'm really a coward?

Looking at my senior sister's Xiao Xiao, pink lips, they seemed to be moistened by cherries under the moonlight, radiating a faint luster, as if they could burst with juice if you bit into them.

Jiang Lin's heart was beating faster and faster, and his body even unconsciously leaned forward, his breathing becoming heavier.

The lips are getting closer and closer...

Smack

Final!

Jiang Lin still took a bite...

But it was the girl's eyes that were kissed...

Okay, Jiang Lin admits he chickened out.

However, Jiang Lin really doesn't want to go that far yet.

It's not that he dislikes his senior sister.

On the contrary, Jiang Lin really liked his senior sister too much.

But it's precisely because he likes her that Jiang Lin doesn't want to do this.

He imagined that one day, his senior sister and master would be able to accept each other, and then he could loudly proclaim, "I want them all!"

Jiang Lin felt he would only do this after confirming the relationship!

Although Jiang Lin now feels he could do even more outrageous things than just kiss her, let alone kiss her.

However, Jiang Lin still felt guilty.

There's nothing I can do.

Although having multiple wives and concubines is perfectly acceptable in this world of cultivation, as long as they are not abandoned, there is no such thing as starting a relationship only to abandon it later.

The problem is that I still can't correct my own mindset for the time being...

Previously, I only saw male protagonists with three wives and four concubines in period dramas or fantasy dramas.

Having transmigrated, even in the past ten years, I've seen quite a few people with two or three wives.

But when it's actually your turn, the feeling is very different.

Although he kept talking about having a harem, and although the times allowed it.

But I was only half-joking at the time.

When I seriously think about this, why do I always feel a sense of lingering fear? It's like I've done something terribly wrong.

To be precise, why do I always feel like I'm cheating?

Jiang Lin felt like he was a complete jerk...

Although Jiang Lin himself labeled himself a "scumbag," no one else would think so, and they would even find "monogamy" strange.

But I can't help it, I just can't get over it...

I've never had a girlfriend in my past life. I just want to marry a girl who isn't particularly beautiful, but is gentle, virtuous, thrifty, and good at managing a household, and live a good life together...

To expect someone to start a harem the moment they arrive in this cultivation world is quite a leap...

really...

Even if one were to "prove one's path through the harem," it would be extremely difficult.

Not only do I need to avoid Asura situation, but at least for myself, I must first accept the prevailing values of this era; otherwise, I'll always feel incredibly guilty...

It's alright, no need to rush, take your time. Anyway, I've already reached the Dragon Gate Realm, so I have at least a thousand years of lifespan.

"..."

Hearing the system's voice, Jiang Lin almost wanted to burn the "Mountains and Rivers State Diagram Clue" immediately!

But after thinking about it, since the system said so, it means this thing is really important, so it's better to keep it. Maybe we can use it in the future.

"Senior sister? Senior sister?"

After gathering his thoughts, Jiang Lin gently called out his senior sister's name, but she seemed to be fast asleep, her head buried even deeper between her legs.

But there's nothing I can do since my senior sister is just asleep. Should I take her back to the inn myself?

Let's do it!

Jiang Lin gently picked up his senior sister.

The moment he held his senior sister in his arms, she instinctively buried her head in Jiang Lin's chest.

Jiang Lin then realized how light and soft his senior sister was, even softer than cotton, and she smelled wonderful.

"Junior Brother Jiang!!!"

Just as Jiang Lin was about to take off on the wind, a shout came from the sky.

"Senior Sister Shangguan?"

Shangguan Mei was also the girl that Senior Brother Qin Senior Brother Qin, and he nagged her about it a lot back then.

Shangguan Mei flew down and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw her unharmed junior brother and Senior Sister Lin sleeping in his arms.

I thought my junior brother had already been torn to pieces by my senior sister...

Now it seems things are much better...

"Junior Brother Jiang, what's going on with Senior Sister?"

"A lot has happened... Senior sister is probably asleep."

"Asleep?"

Looking at the stunningly beautiful woman who had buried her entire head in Junior Brother Jiang, a blush had already spread to her fair neck and the roots of her ears...

Are you sure she's asleep?
