I like my senior sister
Yu Zhu glanced at Jing Xu, "Why did you ask me if I'm satisfied?"
Jing Xu said matter-of-factly, "Because half of my existence is due to my senior sister."
Yu Zhu suddenly froze, while Jing Xu continued listing the points one by one:
"I have accompanied my senior sister at Luobai Residence for decades. A wisp of my soul suppressed the demonic power within her body. My cultivation was also taught by my senior sister. My connection with my senior sister is inseparable."
Yu Zhu was speechless for a moment. "You accepted Ji Fengling's identity quite well, much better than you accepted my... Master's identity."
"Perhaps it's because I'm not a Celestial Venerable. And although I had intelligence back then, I was only comparable to a child, while a Celestial Venerable was already mature."
"So you think you're mature now?"
Jing Xu straightened up. "Does Senior Sister think I'm immature?"
Yu Zhu chuckled and continued walking forward. "No, Young Master Jing is very proper and thoughtful in his dealings with people. How could he be immature? It's just that I always feel that you are still young."
Jing Xu chuckled, "I am indeed still young, and I need my senior sister to take care of me more."
Yu Zhu was speechless again. "Can soul fusion change a person's personality? You didn't seem this... lively before, did you?"
"I'm overjoyed to be home today." Jingxu said, pulling Yuzhu along as they strode forward.
As Yu Zhu approached the Jing residence, she suddenly hesitated. It seemed a bit strange to visit without any apparent reason, and it would be quite awkward.
Yu Zhu slowed her pace. "Maybe I should go find..."
“Senior sister hasn’t answered my question yet,” Jing Xu suddenly said.
"Hmm?" Yu Zhu looked puzzled.
"Is my senior sister satisfied with how I look now?"
Why bring this up again?
"Young Master Jing is gentle and refined, with an elegant demeanor; who could not be satisfied?"
As they spoke, the two arrived at the gate of the Jing residence. A brown-clad figure hurriedly stepped out.
"Young Master is back, Fairy Jade, we meet again."
It turned out to be Uncle Jiang.
"The head of the family and his wife have been looking forward to your arrival," Uncle Jiang said with a smile.
Yu Zhu stepped into the Jing residence. Although she had a smile on her face, she was already feeling uneasy. She should have just gone to Luohai City. Why did she agree to come to Kanzhou with Jing Xu?
A man and a woman stood in the main hall; they were Jingxu's parents, Jingming and Limu. Yuzhu had inquired about their names before coming.
Li Mu grabbed Jing Xu with both hands, looked him up and down, and laughed, "Yingtian Sect is indeed a good place. Xu'er looks even more handsome now."
On the other side, Jingming said to Yuzhu, "I have long heard of Fairy Yu's great name. I never thought that Jingxu would be able to receive your guidance. Thank you for your trouble, Fairy."
Yu Zhu put on a polite smile, "Jing Xu is intelligent and self-disciplined. He can cultivate very well on his own. I didn't have to put in any effort."
Li Mu walked over and said, "Fairy Yu, you don't need to be so polite. I heard from Xu'er that he relied on your care to stay safe while he was out there training."
"These are all minor matters; after all, I am the senior sister."
"I must thank you again, Fairy. I have prepared wine and dishes. Please, Fairy, take a step forward," Li Mu said.
Upon arriving at the table, there was indeed a sumptuous feast.
"This is a spiritual food produced in Kanzhou. Fairy, you may try it."
Li Mu personally ladled out a bowl of sweet soup, saying, "Kanzhou has been a place of mining and smelting for many years, so the local people are restless and fiery. Everyone loves to drink this soup; it's refreshingly cool."
Yu Zhu took the bowl; it was icy cold to the touch. She placed it on the table, then bent down and took a spoonful. "It tastes very good, thank you, Madam."
"Senior sister, try this roasted meat too. It has a different flavor from other places." Jingxu used serving chopsticks to put some food on Yuzhu's plate.
"You can use it too, don't worry too much about me," Yu Zhu said.
"Alright, alright, please make yourself at home, Fairy Jade." Li Mu served Jingxu another bowl of soup. "Xu'er hasn't had any in a long time."
She then picked up the soup that Jingming had served her.
Li Mu would occasionally serve food to Jing Xu and ask him about his affairs at Yingtian Sect. Jing Ming rarely spoke, his gaze lingering on his wife and children, and he would occasionally serve food to Li Mu.
Yu Zhu could imagine the warmth of this family in the past. Of course, they did not neglect her. It was normal for such an environment to cultivate Jing Xu's gentle side.
After the meal, both host and guests were happy.
Jingxu took Yuzhu out for a stroll again, putting all the expenses on the Jing family's tab. Yuzhu had already gotten used to Jingxu's arrogance.
Back at the Jing family home, dinner was surprisingly hot pot, which delighted Yu Zhu. She had been in the cultivation world for so long and hadn't even thought of having hot pot before.
After another enjoyable meal, Yuzhu went to the guest courtyard prepared by the Jing family to rest.
Jingxu was about to explain the matter of his soul to his parents. After he finished speaking, the hall fell silent.
Li Mu said with a stern face, "Are you saying you don't want to acknowledge us as your parents?"
Jingxu walked behind her and rubbed her shoulders. "Mother, what are you saying? Of course you are my parents, but you have the right to know about this. On the contrary, it is I who have taken over... this body, which may cause you worry."
Li Mu sighed and patted Jing Xu's hand. "I did feel that the fetus in my womb was about to die, but I had it back and didn't think about the key to it. Now that I know all this, I feel that it was expected."
“Xu’er, don’t worry. Fate has its own plan. No matter what, you will always be our child,” Jingming said.
Li Mu turned to look at Jing Xu, "So it turns out that Fairy Yu went to so much trouble to repair your soul. You should take Fairy Yu around Kanzhou more often and be a good host."
"Senior sister won't stay long; she has other matters to attend to."
Li Mu: "I see. So, how long can you stay in Kanzhou?"
“I’m not comfortable with my senior sister going alone, so I plan to go with her.”
Li Mu and Jing Ming exchanged a glance, and Jing Ming said tactfully, "Jade Fairy's cultivation level should be stronger than ours."
"My senior sister has protected me many times. Now that my cultivation has improved, I want to repay her."
Jingxu thought of the pain Yuzhu suffered from the backlash of her soul imprint after each battle, and he still didn't know what the consequences of setting up an array in her meridians would be. He was determined to follow her.
"Alright, it's up to you to decide. You're all grown up now, it's time to go out and explore more," Li Mu said.
Jingxu stepped out of the main hall. The moonlight was bright and clear, spilling across the ground, leaving only a chill in the air. In reality, the climate in Kanzhou was warm, and the nights were especially comfortable and pleasant.
He walked to Yuzhu's guest courtyard and saw Yuzhu wearing a cloak, sitting in the courtyard gazing at the moon.
Jingxu sat down beside her and smelled a faint medicinal scent on Yuzhu. "Senior Sister, you've taken your medicine?"
Yu Zhu was surprised, "You can smell it? I drank it a long time ago. It's the Elder's improved Lingguang prescription."
"It seems to be quite effective," Jing Xu said leisurely, pouring a cup of water from the kettle and holding it in his palm.
Yu Zhu looked up at the moon and said, "I was wrong today. With such a good family, it's only natural that you have such a personality."
Jingxu placed the cup in his hand in front of Yuzhu and poured himself another cup.
"What kind of personality do I have?"
Yu Zhu picked up the cup, its warmth instantly touching her hand. A slight smile appeared on her lips as she gently touched Jing Xu's cup to hers, saying:
"A gentle and considerate nature."
"Senior sister, are you satisfied with the hospitality we provided today?"
Yu Zhu held the cup with both hands. "Why are you asking if I'm satisfied again?"
"So are you satisfied?"
Yu Zhu nodded emphatically, "I'm satisfied. With so much delicious food, what could I possibly be dissatisfied with? Besides, your family atmosphere is wonderful. I can tell your parents are a loving couple."
“They do have a very good relationship.” Jing Xu tightened his grip on the cup and smiled, “Has Senior Sister thought about her future Daoist partner?”
"This... I really hadn't thought of that."
"So, what does Senior Sister think of me?" The moonlight turned into water and shone in Jingxu's eyes.
Yu Zhu froze, her eyes widening slightly.
The next moment, Jing Xu's face loomed large in front of her. In Jing Xu's dark eyes, she saw her own unfocused gaze reflected in them. Her eyes swept over his straight nose and landed on his rosy lips, watching as that red color drew ever closer...
"Senior sister."
Yu Zhu suddenly got up and sat on the bed, while Jing Xu was outside the door.
"I've prepared breakfast, would you like some?"
"No, thank you."
Jingxu's figure disappeared outside the door. Yuzhu patted her face and thought carefully. Last night's chat clearly ended when she said no.
Yu Zhu finished combing her hair, opened the door, and peeked out, meeting Jing Xu's gaze.
He sat in the courtyard, with bowls and plates set on the table. "Senior sister, come and see if there's anything you'd like to eat?"
Yu Zhu sat down. "Aren't you going to be with your parents?"
“They can keep each other company. If I go, I might be looked down upon, so I specifically came to ask my senior sister to keep me company.”
Yu Zhu curled the corners of her mouth and said, "I'm really sorry, I can only keep you company for breakfast. After breakfast, I'm going to say goodbye to Madam and the head of the family."
Jing Xu frowned. "So fast?"
"It's better to regain our memories and uncover the conspiracy behind the Immortal Pavilion sooner rather than later." Yu Zhu picked up her chopsticks and ate some food.
"Senior sister, may I go with you?"
Yu Zhu paused in her movements and looked up at him.
“The exact nature of the formation within Senior Sister’s body is still uncertain. Moreover, Senior Sister is still taking medicine. Having someone with her will help take care of her to some extent,” Jing Xu said earnestly.
"Is that all there is to it?" Yu Zhu said casually. "If that's all there is to it, then I can ask other disciples. There should be disciples in the sect who are on missions in Luohai City."
Jingxu clenched his chopsticks, then put them down, straightening his back. "It's also because I want to stay by my senior's side. I like my senior."
Yu Zhu put down her chopsticks. "What do you like about me? Are you sure it's not just because you've seen me suffer from the backlash of the Divine Soul Imprint multiple times, and that's why you feel... pity for me?"
"It would be more appropriate to replace pity with heartache for you, Senior Sister. I'm sure I like you, Senior Sister. I liked you even before our souls merged, and I like you even more after the souls merged."
Yu Zhu nodded.
"What about my senior sister? Does she...like me?"
Yu Zhu pinched a small section between her thumb and forefinger, "Just a little bit."
Moreover, this is more about liking his appearance, all because of that mimosa tree.
Jing Xu breathed a sigh of relief and smiled, "A little bit is fine."
Afterwards, the two bid farewell to Jingxu's parents and arrived in Luohai City.
Before Yu Zhu came back, she had checked the records of Yingtian Sect. After the disciples of Yingtian Sect broke through the Demon Cave, they deliberately preserved this place, and it is still in the same state as when it was broken through.
The exterior of this place is that of a medical clinic, located in what was once the most prosperous area of Luohai City.
“No wonder Senior Sister suspected the Immortal Peak Pavilion. It seems they understand the principle of true seclusion in the city,” Jing Xu said.
"Go in."
