Zhang Lexuan's Worry, Ye Chen's Appeal

Ye Chen dragged his exhausted body back to his room. After a whole night of Soul Power Resonance with the two big sisters, Ma Xiaotao and Ling Luochen, he was practically drained dry.

When he reached his door, Ye Chen quietly opened it and first poked his head inside to check the situation.

Last night, Ye Chen had secretly slipped out behind Zhang Lexuan's back. Not only had he failed to get any rest, but he had also been worn out by Ma Xiaotao and Ling Luochen. What a huge loss.

If he had known last night would turn out like that, he would have stayed in his room. At the very least, Sister Lexuan still had some conscience.

Ye Chen peeked inside and saw a woman in a black nightgown lying on the bed. She seemed not to have woken up yet, so he quietly walked in.

Ye Chen's footsteps were especially light, afraid that he might wake Zhang Lexuan. He crept to the bedside, lifted the blanket, and slipped underneath.

It was not until noon that Ye Chen finally woke up groggily, left the room, and came to the living room.

There, Ye Chen saw Zhang Lexuan cooking for him in the kitchen, and an inexplicable happiness rose in his heart.

"These days are really nice."

Ye Chen got out of bed and jogged over to Zhang Lexuan. His little hands wrapped around her thigh as he spoke in a soft, sweet voice.

"Sister Lexuan, what did you make for me today?"

Zhang Lexuan turned around. Seeing Ye Chen hugging her thigh, she said irritably,

"What's this? You finally know to come back? Where did you run off to fool around last night?"

After Zhang Lexuan had finished bathing last night, she had not seen any trace of Ye Chen in the room. She knew that this stinky little brother must have secretly sneaked out because he was afraid of having Soul Power Resonance with her.

But Zhang Lexuan had not planned to have Soul Power Resonance with Ye Chen last night. She had intended to let him rest for a day or two.

"Sister Lexuan, I went to Sea God Lake to cultivate all night, so I didn't come back."

Ye Chen answered Zhang Lexuan's question, but he concealed the matter of meeting Ma Xiaotao and Ling Luochen last night.

Otherwise, Sister Lexuan would definitely explode again when she heard it. Yet Ye Chen did not notice that Sister Lexuan's gaze was becoming increasingly dangerous.

Zhang Lexuan looked at the lying Ye Chen and narrowed her eyes.

"Very good, Little Chen. You've grown up now, huh? You even dare to lie to your sister."

Zhang Lexuan secretly thought to herself that she had smelled the scent of women on Ye Chen this morning—and there had been more than one.

That had made her quite angry when she first woke up in the morning. However, seeing Ye Chen's exhausted appearance, her heart softened, and she decided to teach him a lesson after he woke up.

Once Zhang Lexuan finished preparing the meal, Ye Chen looked at the various dishes laid out on the table and could not help but rejoice. At the same time, he looked toward Zhang Lexuan.

"Sister Lexuan, you're the best. Having a sister like you is the luckiest thing in my life."

Before his words had even faded, Ye Chen's gaze toward Zhang Lexuan was full of childlike innocence and affection.

Hearing Ye Chen's words and seeing his delighted expression, Zhang Lexuan froze for a moment. Then she looked at Ye Chen indulgently, her eyes filled with warmth.

"Me too. Little Chen, you're my best little brother."

Seeing how obedient Ye Chen was, Zhang Lexuan's thoughts of punishing him gradually faded away.

"Why is your mouth so sweet today? Fine, I'll just punish Little Chen lightly later."

As Ye Chen shoveled food into his mouth, the corners of his lips curled slightly where Zhang Lexuan could not see.

Sister Lexuan, easily handled.

From the moment Ye Chen woke up, he had already been thinking about how to placate Sister Lexuan.

He had run off without saying a word last night. Based on Ye Chen's understanding of Zhang Lexuan, she would probably give him a proper punishment later.

Therefore, Ye Chen planned to raise Zhang Lexuan's favorability a little during the meal. That way, Zhang Lexuan would calm down, and he would have an easier time too.

"Little Chen, where did you run off to last night? Why do you smell like other women?"

"And you actually dared to lie to me just now, saying you went to Sea God Lake to cultivate. Then why is the scent of girls on you so strong?"

After the meal, Zhang Lexuan turned her attention toward Ye Chen and began interrogating him.

The moment Ye Chen heard that, he immediately felt that things had gone bad. He had not expected Zhang Lexuan's nose to be so sharp that she could even smell other women's scents on him.

Ye Chen's eyes darted around as he considered how to fool Sister Lexuan.

But after thinking it over and over, there was only one solution: play the victim. So Ye Chen puffed out his little cheeks, went to Zhang Lexuan's side, and directly hugged her killer long legs.

"Sister Lexuan, I was only taking a stroll last night, and then I ran into Sister Xiaotao and her best friend."

Seeing Zhang Lexuan's increasingly dangerous gaze, Ye Chen hurriedly continued.

"But I didn't go stay at Sister Xiaotao's place. At the time, I was planning to cultivate and meditate beside Sea God Lake."

"Who knew that my Soul Power seemed able to resonate with other female Soul Masters too? After that, Sister Xiaotao and her friend..."

Ye Chen paused at that point and looked at Zhang Lexuan with a pitiful expression.

After hearing him out and learning that Ye Chen could have Soul Power Resonance with female Soul Masters, the anger in Zhang Lexuan's eyes gradually turned into worry.

"Stinky little brother, why are you so good at attracting girls' affection?"

Zhang Lexuan secretly sighed to herself. Ever since Ye Chen was little, every member of the opposite sex who met him had been exceptionally friendly toward him, even fond of him.

But under her protection, Ye Chen had not been taken advantage of by other female Soul Masters as ravenous as wolves and tigers.

And now, his Light Soul Power could even accelerate female Soul Masters' cultivation. To female Soul Masters, Ye Chen was even more like an irresistible delicacy.

Seeing Ye Chen's innocent expression, much of Zhang Lexuan's anger dissipated, but she still needed to punish him and make sure he would never dare defy her orders again.

"Little Chen, although what you said makes sense, I still have to punish you."

With that, Zhang Lexuan walked over to Ye Chen and kneaded his tender little cheeks with her hand as she looked at his pitiful expression.

"Little Chen, your punishment will be to give me a massage. Remember, use more strength."

After telling Ye Chen her demand, Zhang Lexuan brought over a chair and sat down. She crooked a finger in Ye Chen's direction.

"Little Chen, hurry over here."

When Ye Chen heard that it was only a massage, the weight in his heart instantly fell away, and he quickly replied,

"Got it, Sister Lexuan. I guarantee I'll make you comfortable!"

He jogged behind Zhang Lexuan, placed his little hands gently on her shoulders, and tentatively applied some pressure.

"Use more strength. Didn't you eat?"

Zhang Lexuan closed her eyes and leaned her head slightly back, her tone carrying a trace of laziness.

Ye Chen quickly put more force into it, his fingertips slowly kneading down from her shoulders and neck.

"Mmm, not bad. Keep that strength."

Zhang Lexuan spoke to Ye Chen, occasionally letting out soft murmurs to show how comfortable she was.

"Little Chen, I'm very satisfied with your service this time. I'll let you off today. Remember, you're not allowed to run off again."
