Chapter 528 - 266: He Kongyue’s Baffling Resentment
Taking advantage of the fact that there was no one on Lotus Peak, Ji Lingruo hurriedly went to take a bath, and incidentally refined the essence within her body.
This time, she didn’t resort to the Dual Cultivation Skill until the very end, so she must pay extra attention to the residue of that thing.
After all, she is still young and has no intention of becoming a mother.
Over these four days of vigorous cultivation, the Profound Qi within her surged exuberantly. Her cultivation in the Middle Spirit Platform Realm was not only stable but also extremely abundant, though while her cultivation increased, the control and understanding of Profound Qi couldn’t be acquired through dual cultivation. Ji Lingruo was full of confidence, and if she were to comprehend a little more, she would surely be able to touch the threshold of the Spirit Platform Upper Realm.
She continued her inner inspection, and saw that the azure glow on the blue Demon Pill was flowing, even more dazzling than before.
Ji Lingruo furrowed her brows secretly; she always felt that the Demon Pill had changed again...
Not only was the azure color more pure, it seemed even the size had grown somewhat...
In fact, ever since Ji Lingruo obtained this Top-Grade Demon Elixir, she developed a habit akin to a little girl who got her beloved doll, unable to resist watching it at all times.
Thus, she often inspected the Demon Pill inwardly, and she could clearly feel... that this Demon Pill was different from when she first obtained it.
It’s almost like a living thing... growing by absorbing power on its own...
Just as the Spirit Platform expands, the Demon Pill grows too, and it is nothing strange; she just felt this Top-Grade Demon Elixir was somewhat too mystical.
However, at the very least, she hadn’t felt any peculiarity from this Demon Pill; both her sister and Ms Liou had checked her body, so it seemed this Demon Pill was not problematic.
Ji Lingruo withdrew her gaze, shaking her little head.
Calming down, she opened her sister’s letter to savor it, even though she and her sister had quarreled, the person she missed most was still her sister.
She knew that she felt this way, and surely her sister felt the same.
In the first half of the letter, indeed, there was affection flowing with sisterly bonds.
But upon seeing the content about You Su, Ji Lingruo puffed her cheeks in anger.
But no matter, her sister could only boast through letter, whereas she was the real winner today.
Just about to change the sheet on You Su’s bed, she suddenly sensed something amiss.
If her sister wanted to retaliate against her flaunting about her bond with Senior Brother, and intentionally said those words to provoke her, it meant her sister still cared about Senior Brother; otherwise, why be upset with her?
But if she cared about Senior Brother, why was her reply so indifferent?
That could only mean her sister was shy to express herself, but why dare to blatantly reveal her special interest in Senior Brother in front of her?
Her sister’s face wasn’t so thick-skinned, so Ji Lingruo began to analyze carefully: the proud and indifferent image in the reply to Senior Brother was her sister’s true self; with her sister’s personality, she should avoid mentioning Senior Brother at all, much less reminiscing about past events with him.
The purpose of her sister intentionally saying these things was this...
To anger her!
Ji Lingruo felt she had grasped the key point, but why would her sister want to anger her?
Since it wasn’t for verbal sparring, then deliberately directing the sisterly comparison from the time spent with You Su to intimacy between the sheets...
Isn’t this just to make her angry, so she could prove herself superior to her sister and then work harder in front of Senior Brother!
Yet her exerting such effort, her sister with a connected sense should feel more troubled, right!
What she didn’t know was, Ji Xueruo had been hiding in her room for three days claiming physical complaints.
Mulling over all this, Ji Lingruo suddenly froze, her pupils slowly contracting as she thought of a shocking possibility.
Her sister couldn’t possibly be... also hoping she would exert more effort, could she?!
If this is the case, the contradictions in the letter are entirely explainable.
When she was cultivating with Senior Brother... the dignified Clan Leader sister not only didn’t find it annoying but actually enjoyed it, even feeling she wasn’t doing well enough?!
Ji Lingruo couldn’t hold back and snorted, feeling like she was discovering her sister’s true face for the first time.
"Really, I knew it! Whether white or green, snakes are snakes, pretending to be celibate!"
Ji Lingruo cursed with resentment, feeling quite used by her sister, yet she recalled the moment when she awoke in the Snake Blood Pool: after months apart from Senior Brother, didn’t she also indulge through their shared sense...
Thus, she couldn’t really blame her sister’s scheming; her sister and Senior Brother were separated by distance, and even communicating required letters that took over half a month. Though her sister didn’t say, surely she missed Senior Brother dearly too...
More so, Ji Lingruo had to admit that when anxious and weary, having such an intense experience truly decompresses one. Her sister’s burden was much greater, so no wonder she wanted to release even more thoroughly.
Never mind, Ji Lingruo thought since she had already tacitly accepted her sister and You Su’s affair, why not be more generous, after all the true sensation was hers.
However, this must never be revealed to Senior Brother, or if he realized he had to deal with two snakes, he wouldn’t go mad...
Thinking about it made Ji Lingruo scared, and suddenly she burst out laughing.
She had come up with such a brilliant remark that would leave her sister speechless and would even owe her gratitude——
"Sister, too bad it’s me in front of Senior Brother, it’s me in his heart, and me he calls. But to give you some sense of participation, next time I’ll have Senior Brother shout Xueruo instead of Lingruo... Puh ha ha ha!"
Ji Lingruo couldn’t help but laugh heartily at the thought of her sister’s expression turning pale upon seeing this line.
