Chapter 104 My controlling older brother is so cute
These eight major forces had previously maintained a fragile balance, but if any one of them weakened, the others would be eager to attack it as a group, hoping to eliminate one of them.
This group is currently targeting Han Dan Pavilion, one of the eight major powers.
As a local alchemist force in Baicheng, Han Dan Pavilion should have a very stable position. However, since the Dan Association moved into Baicheng decades ago, Han Dan Pavilion's business has been declining. From time to time, negative news such as using inferior magical plants has been exposed. Many of the alchemists in the pavilion have also been poached by the Dan Association or other forces. It will probably be kicked out of the ranks of the eight major forces before long.
Jia Shu guessed that the Ghost Lord must have been somewhat interested in the Miss Yuan from earlier, so he specifically chose to talk about the Yuan family in detail.
Yuan Shengshuang is the most talented descendant of the Yuan family in this generation. She has already reached the peak of the Nascent Soul stage before she is even a hundred years old. She will be the Yuan family’s next head of the family without any surprises. She has already taken over most of the Yuan family’s affairs. As long as she breaks through to the Divine Transformation stage, the Yuan family will be able to immediately remove the current head of the family and make her the new head of the family.
Su Yu said casually, "It sounds like the Yuan family is very dissatisfied with the current patriarch."
“That’s true,” Jia Shu chuckled, seemingly quite disdainful of the Yuan family head. “As long as the Yuan family isn’t wiped out during his tenure, that’s enough. He just hangs out in the backyard all day.”
"Oh, we're here," Jia Shu stopped in front of a small courtyard, opened the door and smiled kindly at Su Yu, "This is it. If you need anything else, feel free to come and find me anytime."
The courtyard was neither too big nor too small and was inconspicuous. There were some ornamental plants planted along the pebble path. The bedroom and kitchen were complete, enough for Su Yu and Feng Huaijin to live in.
After quickly looking around, Su Yu expressed her satisfaction and thanked Jia Shu for his dedication. She then subtly indicated that she was new to Baicheng and wanted to go out and explore on her own.
Jia Shu, with a smile, took his leave and thoughtfully closed the door behind him.
With the external demon gone, Su Yu's polite smile vanished. She turned and placed a hand on Feng Huaijin's shoulder, asking with a smile, "Twelve has been so quiet these past few days. Could it be that you have some little secret that your brother doesn't know about?"
After he agreed and pursued him, he wanted to escape, but Twelve remained quiet and didn't make a sound, which was simply illogical.
This kid has a little secret behind his back? What is it that he can't know?
Could this be a sign that the brothers are about to drift apart?
...If they dare to betray us, just kill them.
Feng Huaijin sensed a faint sense of crisis. After a moment of stunned silence, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up higher and higher.
...So cute.
My controlling older brother is so cute.
She clearly wanted to escape his pursuit, but she couldn't accept completely cutting off all contact with him.
Therefore, it's impossible to cut ties completely just to reject him, never.
In other words, his brother has feelings for him.
Feng Huaijin started to bubble with happy pink bubbles.
"What are you grinning about?"
Su Yu poked Feng Huaijin's handsome face in puzzlement. Unwilling to waste any more time standing in the sun in the courtyard, she grabbed one of Feng Huaijin's sleeves and pulled him into the house to continue questioning him.
Upon entering the main room, Su Yu released Feng Huaijin's sleeve, casually picked a chair to sit down, and was about to ask a question when a familiar figure had already clinged to his waist and knelt on one knee without any regard for appearances.
This kid should be out of his mind by now.
He patted Feng Huaijin's shoulder helplessly: "Get up, what are you doing?"
The demon, whose face was buried in his waist and abdomen, made a muffled sound: "I miss my brother, so I want a hug."
They were completely justified and confident.
Su Yu could clearly feel the hot breath he exhaled in his abdomen, which made him feel uncomfortable, but the demon's self-righteousness left him speechless for a moment.
"...I remember saying that as a suitor, I can't act as the younger brother."
If Feng Huaijin weren't his brother, Su Yu thought he would have kicked Mo out.
To this, Feng Huaijin cunningly avoided giving a direct answer, instead bringing up the news of the black-clad demon who had previously come to him to change the subject.
He does want to be the older brother's partner, but he hasn't said he won't be the younger brother anymore.
He was greedy; of course he wanted both identities. Otherwise, what if his older brother took care of other younger brothers? His position absolutely could not be replaced.
So he muttered, as if complaining, "Brother, before, a demon broke through my window and came looking for me."
Su Yu's eyes narrowed, and she began to doubt her own ears and comprehension.
He glanced down and quickly examined Feng Huaijin. Good, he was still the same size.
Isn't the devil who climbed through his window afraid of getting beaten to a pulp?
Oh no, what demon? Does it mean it's trying to kidnap his brother?!
Su Yu's fingertips twitched slightly, as if she wanted to summon the Frost Flowing Sword from her storage ring to slay the demon at any moment.
"When did this happen? Did you beat him up? Why was that devil breaking into your window?"
Su Yu immediately launched into a series of questions.
"On the very night I came out of quarantine, a dark creature suddenly climbed over the wall and scared me to death."
"I thought there was some evil spirit with ill intentions, but don't worry, brother, my body and soul belong only to you."
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Feng Huaijin continued to flatter, gaining some of his brother's attention and then expressing his feelings again. Before Su Yu could react and feel awkward, he completely revealed what the black-clad demon wanted from him.
The black-clad demon was indeed a subordinate of the Phantom Demon King. He said he came to find him to prevent his awakened Abyss Demon bloodline from attracting the Demon Lord's pursuit, and that he wanted to take him to a secret place for training.
Feng Huaijin muttered to Su Yu, "Their information is too outdated. We've already been put on a bounty by the Demon Palace."
Su Yu hummed in agreement, then asked suspiciously, "Are they demon traffickers?"
“It shouldn’t be,” Feng Huaijin said innocently, making no mention of the time he held a sword to the demon’s neck. “He swore an oath to heaven and earth that he didn’t lie.”
Of course, the shadowy demon wanted to take Feng Huaijin away to verify whether he was the reincarnation of the Demon Lord, a fact he kept hidden.
Even if it's not true, giving Yuanmo a favor won't be a loss in the future.
Feng Huaijin naturally sensed that the guy was still hiding something, but since he meant no harm and it was in his favor, he didn't press him for answers, lest he really anger the demon.
Su Yu lowered her eyes and touched Feng Huaijin's hair: "Want to go?"
“Yes, I plan to go after my brother goes into seclusion,” Feng Huaijin said, resting his head on Su Yu’s lap with his eyes half-closed. “I’ll go take a look, and if it’s no use, I’ll come back and wait for my brother.”
He's been behaving himself these past few days because he really can't bear to leave his brother and wants to see him a few more times; he doesn't want to be bothered by his brother.
"Okay, remember to send me a message using the communication stone."
"I've remembered, I won't forget."
Su Yu postponed her plan to go out and familiarize herself with Baicheng, and didn't care about the identities of her younger brother and suitor. She simply let Feng Huaijin hold her quietly, passing this brief moment in her long cultivation life.
A fleeting moment, ordinary yet endless.
