Big Sister Is a Composed Neighbor (Please Follow)

Xiao Xiao, listening to their stories from the side, was busy contemplating some very important matters.

If Sister Lexuan's intelligence automatically plummeted whenever she faced Xuanyuan Sheng, surely it wouldn't drop to such an extent, would it?

Yet, such a thing had indeed happened, and perhaps she, too, could pull off some strange antics with her Xiao Sheng right under Zhang Lexuan's nose.

If Zhang Lexuan weren't standing guard nearby, she certainly wouldn't have settled for just holding hands with Xuanyuan Sheng and stopping at a mere taste.

Summoning her courage, she approached Zhang Lexuan, who was currently wearing a smile.

"What is it, Xiao Xiao?"

Facing Xiao Xiao, who would soon become her disciple, Zhang Lexuan was quite fond of this lively little girl, aside from her being an extreme fan of good looks.

Everything else was trivial, and she was more than willing to listen to what Xiao Xiao had to say.

Xiao Xiao leaned directly into Zhang Lexuan's ear:

"Sister Lexuan, with outsiders eyeing us covetously and no one to anchor the household from within, Xiao Sheng is currently in a very dangerous state, so we need to do something."

Zhang Lexuan smiled candidly; she hadn't expected that there would be two people by her side so single-mindedly concerned for her younger brother.

"Xiao Xiao, go ahead and say it; I will give it serious consideration."

Children needed encouragement, and since Xiao Xiao had such thoughts, she, Zhang Lexuan, was more than happy to give her a chance to demonstrate.

Xiao Xiao put her hands on her hips and smiled confidently: "Xiao Sheng needs a useful anchor by his side, and my martial soul is the Zhenhun Ding. That is the first point.

The reason people outside are coveting him is that things inside aren't stable enough. That is the second point.

Therefore, I have decided to give myself an identity, so I can better punish those little vixens who want to come and harvest the honey."

Zhang Lexuan listened to Xiao Xiao finish her speech with an expressionless face; she really shouldn't have held such high expectations for this little girl.

Ma Xiaotao was much more reliable; she was willing to sacrifice her own reputation just to ensure the environment around Xiao Sheng remained stable.

She pinched the collar behind Xiao Xiao's neck with one hand.

"You two stay here for a moment; I have some business to attend to."

Xuanyuan Sheng couldn't help but pray for Xiao Xiao, who didn't know when she had managed to provoke Sister Lexuan.

But being gentle outside was useless; otherwise, how could she have become the senior sister worshipped by all the students of the Inner Courtyard?

Seeing Zhang Lexuan drag Xiao Xiao away, voluntarily gifting them some time alone, Ma Xiaotao's eyes gleamed as she sat down beside Xuanyuan Sheng.

He felt the breeze stirred up by the movement beside him.

Xuanyuan Sheng looked over.

It was Ma Xiaotao, one of the volcanoes of the Inner Courtyard.

Every time she appeared in the academy, she always carried an extremely intimidating sense of oppression, a kind of volatile danger that most people couldn't endure.

But after spending half a day together, Xuanyuan Sheng, who had become somewhat familiar with her, knew that in private, she was simply an ordinary woman who spent her days calling herself "I am your reliable neighbor big sister."

She kept talking about her own stability, never once considering what kind of reputation her entrance title had actually spread.

Of course, one couldn't exactly call her ordinary; even hidden beneath a fiery red dress, her figure was displayed to the fullest, as she was incredibly sexy and hot.

Just that slender waist, beautiful legs, and astonishing curves were enough to make Xiao Xiao, that little flat-chested princess, look up in envy for a lifetime.

Ma Xiaotao's "volcano" persona had vanished completely the very first time she appeared in Xuanyuan Sheng's home.

When Ma Xiaotao and Xuanyuan Sheng met again.

She had tried to maintain her "volcano image" from school, acting serious and trying to look like a senior sister who shouldn't be approached.

However, as the two of them were left alone, Ma Xiaotao gradually dismantled her disguise right in front of him, and she suddenly... dropped the act and returned to being herself.

Just like now.

After moving closer to Xuanyuan Sheng, she took the initiative to wrap her arm around his shoulder, incidentally undoing the top two buttons of her collar, as if she were feeling stifled.

Beyond just wanting to catch her breath, this revealed her delicate collarbones and the fair skin beneath her neck.

She leaned lazily against Xuanyuan Sheng, took a deep gulp from a wine glass that had appeared from nowhere, let out a comfortable sound, and then wiped the wine stains from the corner of her mouth with her hand.

In this state, she looked nothing like the Flame Maniac who shocked and terrified the students of the academy.

"What? Do you have an opinion about your big sister?" Ma Xiaotao teased.

Xuanyuan Sheng shook his head: "I just didn't expect that the person everyone in Shrek Academy acknowledges as a hothead could actually lead Sister Lexuan around by the nose."

"Thanks... wait, what did you say, kid?" Ma Xiaotao glared at Xuanyuan Sheng, annoyed.

It was only because she had a good temper; otherwise, just for pointing out her intelligence issues, he would have certainly been greeted by her flaming fist.

As soon as she saw Zhang Lexuan dragging a thoroughly subdued Xiao Xiao away, Ma Xiaotao let go of Xuanyuan Sheng.

"Although big sister is sorry about what happened before, you must pay attention to your own health, Xiao Sheng. Cultivation is not something to be rushed; you cannot just focus on your own efforts and leave your body out in the cold."

Ma Xiaotao looked at him earnestly, saying words she hadn't spoken in a long time: "Your body is your most important capital; only with that capital can you resolve the things that seem so dangerous to you."

Even Sister Lexuan had never lectured him with such grand principles; this was the first time it had truly come from Ma Xiaotao.

"It's alright, thank you."

"Big sister here is your steady neighbor, after all; no matter what the problem is, I can answer it for you intimately." Ma Xiaotao pursed her lips: "After all, I am the big sister, and I naturally know a great many things."

"What big sister?"

Zhang Lexuan also heard what Ma Xiaotao said afterward, and she felt a wave of relief; as expected, Ma Xiaotao was indeed more mature.

Ma Xiaotao tugged at the corner of her mouth and replied with a smile, "After all, I'm older than him, and I don't know how much more I understand than he does. If there's anything you want to learn, you can come to me."

The satisfaction in Zhang Lexuan's eyes deepened.

On the other hand, Xiao Xiao, who was holding her head nearby, acted as if she hadn't been hit at all and curled her lip in disdain, "In that case, doesn't that mean you know a few other things too? Could it be that you can even teach Xiao Sheng the path to becoming an adult?"

Xiao Xiao didn't know why, but even though there was clearly nothing wrong with what this person said, she still wanted to snap at her, as if her automatic target-locking radar had been triggered.

It was very likely that this was just an instinctive reaction from a lecher.

Ma Xiaotao's face flushed red the moment she heard this, but she still calmly raised her head, "I could, but only if Xiao Sheng wants me to teach him, then I would be willing to guide him."

Seeing these two suddenly start bickering, Zhang Lexuan reached out and pulled them both apart, "Both of you, be quiet. I have important matters to attend to with Xiao Sheng."
