A Decision That Betrays Ancestors

Nangong Ying, who is usually aloof to outsiders, is as attentive as a little maid in front of Tang Yu.

If the other disciples of the Joyous Union Sect saw this...

They're probably going to glare at me with eyes that look like they've been shoved out of their sockets.

"My senior sister is so good to me, just like a real sister. I really want to go to the orthopedics department with her."

Faced with Nangong Ying's doting affection for him, Tang Yu was sincerely moved.

"That's right, that's right. Senior Sister took an instant liking to you, and you're my ancestor's last disciple. If we're not close, who else would we be close to? But what does 'orthopedics' mean?"

Nangong Ying was used to Tang Yu often spouting words she couldn't understand.

I always have to ask out of curiosity.

"The orthopedics department is a really beautiful place, perfect for siblings. I'll definitely take my senior colleague there sometime."

Tang Yu said sincerely.

"Junior brother, you're very kind."

"By the way, senior sister, my ears are a little itchy. Could you clean them for me?"

"Ear cleaning? How do you do that?"

"Sit down..."

Tang Yu asked Nangong Ying to sit next to her and stretch out her legs.

Then he lay down on his side on her lap.

With a contented expression, he pulled out his specially made ear-cleaning cotton swabs and handed them to Nangong Ying, saying, "Use these."

"Okay, okay, I'll try."

After Nangong Ying tried using the cotton swabs for a while, Tang Yu squinted her eyes and almost fell asleep from the comfort.

"Oh right, junior brother... didn't you say you'd give me some spirit stones?"

While cleaning Tang Yu's ears, Nangong Ying asked cautiously.

Tang Yu had previously promised to give her one hundred high-grade spirit stones if she became a model.

I still haven't given her eighty yuan.

"Spirit stones, Senior Sister, please wait a moment. I've already sent someone to fetch them. But Senior Sister, don't you regret it? It seems like we could have earned more by taking a cut of the profits."

Tang Yu lay on his lap and asked with a smile.

At that time, he asked Nangong Ying to choose between a share of the profits or one hundred high-grade spirit stones, Nangong Ying went to choose the spirit stones.

"No regrets. A hundred high-grade spirit stones is a lot. As for the dividends, not choosing them back then just means I wasn't lucky enough to get them."

Nangong Ying's nonchalant answer surprised Tang Yu.

"Senior sister is quite open-minded."

Tang Yu chuckled and said, "But it's nothing. We'll have plenty of opportunities to make money together in the future. I'll design an outfit in a few days, and my senior sister can continue to be my model."

"Okay, okay."

Nangong Ying nodded repeatedly.

She hadn't yet realized what kind of clothes Tang Yu intended for her to wear.

After cleaning Tang Yu's ears, Tang Yu sat up and asked.

"Senior sister, do you want to try it? Let me help you. It feels really good to put this in and rotate it around."

"Is it really comfortable?"

Nangong Ying had never tried these ear-cleaning cotton swabs before. Cultivators didn't need to clean their ears, since they had long since abstained from grains.

"It's very comfortable, you should try it. Everything I make is guaranteed to be of high quality."

Tang Yu tempted her.

Nangong Ying thought for a moment and then lay down like Tang Yu.

She lay down on her side like this.

Tang Yu's gaze involuntarily swept over her impeccable figure.

It finally landed on his chest.

Viewed from the side, it's a ridge; viewed from the front, it's a peak.

That's exactly right.

First, use your hands to brush aside Nangong Ying's long white hair.

Then, carefully insert the ear-cleaning cotton swab into Nangong Ying's ear.

Is this depth okay?

After inserting the cotton swab, Tang Yu asked with a smile.

"Mmm... it's ticklish, but it feels kind of nice."

Nangong Ying, like Tang Yu before her, also had a pleased expression on her face, and thought that her junior brother's ear-cleaning cotton swabs could probably earn her a sum of spirit stones.

"This is just the beginning; the teachers will be more professional."

Tang Yu gently cleaned Nangong Ying's ears with a cotton swab in her left hand.

His right hand gently stroked Nangong Ying's ear, and then he began to play with her earlobe.

Everyone has their own sensitive areas.

Cultivators... Cultivators are essentially human, so Nangong Ying is no exception.

Her ears are relatively more sensitive.

After Tang Yu played with her ears for a while, she blushed slightly and looked a little shy.

"Junior brother... stop touching your ears, they feel a little uncomfortable."

"Not feeling well? Okay, I'll massage you in another spot."

Tang Yu then placed her hand on Nangong Ying's fair neck and gently pressed a few acupoints.

I massaged Nangong Ying's shoulders for a while.

"So~ comfortable~"

Immersed in joy, Nangong Ying was captivated by Tang Yu's professional skills and even considered taking out a spirit stone to thank Tang Yu.

"Okay, turn it over and switch sides."

Tang Yu patted Nangong Ying's arm.

Nangong Ying gave a lazy "hmm" and rolled over onto Tang Yu's lap.

Then I felt like my face was pressed against something strange.

She paused for a moment, then sat up abruptly.

As a disciple of the Joyous Union Sect, even if he's never eaten pork, he's at least read a lot of books on pigs running.

Her face flushed, she looked at Tang Yu embarrassedly and said, "Junior brother, you..."

"I'm so sorry, Senior Sister Nangong, I usually wear my pants on the right side. My apologies."

Tang Yu looked embarrassed. It's good for people to have strengths, but having too many isn't necessarily a good thing.

"All right..."

Nangong Ying didn't know what to say, after all, her junior brother Tang Yu hadn't meant to tease her.

She could only awkwardly fiddle with her hair a few times to change the subject.

"By the way, junior brother, I've seen your recent drawing of 'The Fairy Meiyun's Misfortune,' and it's... quite good."

"Senior sister, you think it's good too?"

Tang Yu asked in surprise.

"Your drawing skills are amazing, and the story is quite interesting too, otherwise everyone wouldn't like it so much. You see, we're practically family now, so teach your senior sister, okay? At worst, she won't accept you as a model for spirit stones."

Nangong Ying grabbed Tang Yu's arm and shook it, acting coquettishly.

Giving a man a fish is not as good as teaching him how to fish. Rather than receiving spirit stones in a lump sum, she wanted a skill that could generate stable income.

Isn't this much more appealing than cultivation?

Cultivation only costs spirit stones!

After a moment of deep thought and pained expression, Tang Yu slowly spoke.

"Indeed, since Senior Sister has put it this way, I have no choice but to make a decision that goes against the wishes of our ancestors."

"However, learning my painting skills is quite troublesome. Why don't you move to the Cluster Jade Pavilion from now on, Senior Sister? That way, you can ask me any questions you may have."

"That's no problem."

Nangong Ying readily agreed.

As long as I can learn the painting skills I've always longed for, everything else is negotiable; even serving tea and water is no problem!

"Alright, let's begin now."

After finishing her persuasion, Tang Yu was satisfied and had Nangong Ying grind ink for her. She then began to teach her how to paint and some detailed techniques.

Nangong Ying already possessed considerable talent for drawing.

Otherwise, with just a stunningly beautiful face... she could certainly sell a lot of paintings, since there are simps everywhere.

After she made rapid progress, Tang Yu asked her to copy one of her works.

After this copying, the two works look extremely similar.

However, Tang Yu's depiction of women's details is slightly inferior.

For example, the posture when falling down after an injury.

That angle would definitely show some sexy parts or alluring poses.

This piece is made by a woman.

It's clearly unrealistic for her to think she can surpass a lecherous man like Tang Yu.

"You'll need to think about some of the details I've mentioned, but these aren't major issues."

"The biggest problem right now is the plot. The success of 'The Fairy Meiyun's Misfortune' hinges on the story."

"First, tell me what you think will happen in the third episode. Think it through carefully, then tell me the details one by one, and I'll judge whether I'm right or wrong!"

Tang Yu sat down next to Nangong Ying and asked.

The two were too close together.

Tang Yu could clearly smell the faint fragrance on her body.

After being asked this question by Tang Yu, Nangong Ying blushed slightly and parted her cherry lips, trying hard to think about the next development of the story.
