Chapter 526 - 265: With Sister... or With Me...?
It must be admitted, Ji Lingruo truly possesses an extraordinary gift for reconnaissance, perhaps it’s a racial trait of the Snake Race.
"But if it weren’t for Junior Sister wanting to share a pillow with Senior Brother last night... hsss!"
You Su’s waist was pinched again, causing him to cry out in pain.
"I was just too tired, why didn’t you go to my room to sleep!"
These days, the two of them grew increasingly uninhibited. Without Senior Sister’s presence, Lotus Peak had become their paradise.
You Su even directly bought three days’ worth of meals, spending day after day at Lotus Peak cultivating with Junior Sister.
Not only in their rooms, but also in the bathroom, kitchen, and courtyard carried traces of their battles.
Half of this was for the significant progress brought by practicing the Joyful Union Skill, while the other half was entirely due to the instinctive entanglement of a young couple.
At some point, You Su had already walked behind the young maiden and whispered softly in her ear:
"Junior Sister was tired before, but after nourishment from the Third Elder, you’re not tired. But poor me, I’m still exhausted."
Ji Lingruo still felt sensitive throughout her body, quietly moved aside and retorted:
"What are you tired for? I was the one who was doing all the work just now..."
"The path of cultivation forbids quitting halfway, Junior Sister, I’m struggling here... let’s continue..."
You Su rested his head on Ji Lingruo’s shoulder, rubbing against the side of the maiden’s head like he was coaxing.
Ji Lingruo shyly bit her lower lip tightly, and her legs squeezed together even more.
The abrupt stop earlier left her wanting more. Moreover, You Su’s frank confession in front of the Third Elder struck her heart directly.
Although she had heard sweet talk from You Su many times, speaking privately and speaking publicly are completely different concepts, especially in front of a respected elder...
The young maiden’s heart had already turned into a pool of water, and You Su continued to ’fan the flames’ beside her ear.
She only felt her head spinning, not knowing how she ended up leaning over the table by the window.
She was very familiar with this spot, and over the past few days, under You Su’s stimulation, her courage had grown significantly. She nervously looked out the window, half resisting but also acquiescing to You Su pressing up against her.
"Quick and decisive!"
Ji Lingruo bit her lip tightly in embarrassment, caught in a dilemma between wanting to enjoy and fearing to do so.
Incapable of motivating her Profound Qi for Dual Cultivation, yet unwilling to indulge in pure pleasure, she took out the letter sent by her sister, hoping to distract herself.
The letter was handwritten by Ji Xueruo, and despite the feminine handwriting, it was elegant and carried an indescribable nobility.
Ji Xueruo first expressed concern for her younger sister’s life, then answered some questions from her sister’s previous letter, assuring that all was well with the Snake Race and sharing the joyous news of their contact with the Divine Mountain Golden Roc Race.
The table kept shaking, yet Ji Lingruo displayed a sincere smiling face, feeling completely fulfilled both in body and soul, extremely happy.
She continued to read, and predictably, her sister couldn’t resist mentioning You Su’s name.
However, it was to reprimand her to be more reserved, that at such a young age she shouldn’t behave like she had never seen a man before. Not formally married yet, how could she always be doing that with You Su?
This distance between them caused her great distress, then the tone shifted, slyly envying her sister for being able to travel with You Su, nostalgically recalling the unforgettable experience at the Jade Ring Pool, and subtly indicating that You Su had said things that even she felt embarrassed about.
The last sentence, ’Perhaps the one in front of You Su is you, but the one in his heart is someone else,’ was a direct attack on Ji Lingruo, completely igniting her rebellious spirit and competitive drive.
Ji Lingruo tightened her body angrily, while You Su felt his scalp tingle, hissing repeatedly.
"I ask you! Do you want to _cultivate_ with her! Or _Dual_ with me?"
You Su instantly guessed that it must be Miss Xueruo stirring up his junior sister with words, but those were bedchamber whispers and should not be taken seriously.
The snake demon sisters, spring orchid and autumn chrysanthemum, each had their strengths and there was no better or worse between them.
But with the junior sister right in front, he couldn’t very well go praising another woman.
"Of course it’s Junior Sister, Junior Sister is the best in the world!"
Ji Lingruo upon hearing this, wore a proud smile, "Then call me by my name, not Junior Sister, call me Lingruo..."
With overwhelming emotions, You Su agreed to everything.
However, Ji Lingruo’s victorious stance didn’t last long, with one slip she swiftly fell in defeat, losing completely.
"Junior Sister, did your sister send me a reply?" You Su gasped breathlessly.
Ji Lingruo with alluring eyes unfolded the last small piece of paper, which carried a few concise words:
’I don’t understand, next time write something of value.’
Ji Lingruo glanced back at You Su’s expectant face, couldn’t help but chuckle, stuffing the small paper into his arms:
"See for yourself."
With those words, she struggled to stand, tightening her skirt, and with awkward steps, returned to her room.
You Su tidied up the aftermath carefully before placing the letter from Xueruo into the Qiankun Bag to read it.
Seeing the words on the paper, he couldn’t help but laugh, shaking his head lightly.
That proud Miss Xueruo had shown an exceptional appreciation for poetry and prose at the Jade Ring Pool. To say she couldn’t understand the meaning was impossible, and it was even more impossible not to understand his emotional metaphors.
The reply was brief but powerful, carrying a subtle indifference.
Perhaps it was because she knew her sister would certainly read the letters exchanged between them hence felt embarrassed to respond, or maybe she simply didn’t dare to directly respond to You Su’s ’ambitious desire.’
