Chapter 108 Chapter 108 Extra One (Part 2)
Regardless of what happened to the people on the main peak, Ning Xiu returned to Lanlan's side and told her about what happened that day, "Do you think Senior Sister Sisi really can't see that Senior Brother likes her?"
Lanlan offered her assessment: "Senior Sister is probably blind to what's right in front of her! But you shouldn't get involved in this matter anymore. Senior Sister seems easygoing but is actually quite self-centered. She can't see it because she's never cared and never even thinks about it. How do you think she can tell that other male cultivators like her? It's because love letters have been delivered right to her face. As for the senior brothers, they don't dare to express themselves too much; they're always very reserved. Besides, what's the use of making things clear even if Senior Sister's feelings haven't been expressed yet!"
It's like recommending spicy food to someone who likes sweets—it's pointless.
Ning Xiu nodded: "I was just too happy today, and I got carried away and even helped my senior brothers test things out. But my senior brothers are really in a bit of a... mess."
Lanlan: "I think it's good that Senior Sister is like this. Senior Sister is pursuing the Great Dao, so we shouldn't bother her with these worldly matters."
On the main peak, Yao Sisi returned to her cave to rest out of boredom. A little while later, Ri Jiu came in from outside. Seeing that he seemed to have something to say, she got up from the bed and looked at him with a questioning gaze.
Ri Jiu: "Ning Xiu is so young. When I first met him, he wasn't even up to my ear. Look, the kid we've watched grow up already has a Daoist partner. Aren't you envious?"
Yao Sisi yawned boredly, feeling inexplicably sleepy as she listened to these words: "It's alright, but feelings aren't something you can get by envying them."
Ri Jiu approached her, the long hem of her dress swaying at her feet in a graceful, butterfly-like arc, which was quite beautiful. "How can I not be envious? I'm quite envious too. Let's become a couple!"
Yao Sisi rolled her eyes, took off her boots, pulled up the covers, and prepared to go to sleep. She waved her hand, indicating that she should go back to where she came from. "Little fox, don't tease me. Go play somewhere else!"
Ri Jiu retorted angrily, "If you won't pair up with me, then I'll find the Amorous Sword!"
Yao Sisi got up and sat on the bed. "Little fox, what are you doing today? How old are you? Still acting like a child!"
Ri Jiu: "How can I not be a child? In our demon race, I'm still young, even younger than Ning Xiu!"
Yao Sisi adopted a coaxing tone towards a child and said, "Then you're a child, so you shouldn't be in a relationship so early, understand? Have you forgotten your fox clan's traditions? We haven't even taught you the Dao Partner Seal at such a young age, what does that mean! It means it's not the right time yet. It's not too late to talk about these things after your Dao Partner Seal is unsealed! Go play somewhere else."
Ri Jiu was taken aback by her retort, and then, without any sense of reason, transformed into a little fox, rushing into her arms and pressing her little mouth against her face, giving it an affectionate lick. But for some unknown reason, she seemed to have lost her mind and transformed into human form while on top of her, turning the scene from comical to extremely ambiguous.
Yao Sisi was completely stunned.
Now, Ri Jiu's clothes were loose, one hand was holding her, and the other hand was propped up on the bed. The fox mouth that had stolen a kiss from him had turned pink with a hint of bright red and was pressed against her face. In her eyes, the whole scene was a major disaster.
However, both of them were so focused on each other that they didn't see the figure that flashed past outside.
Qi Mu was only a step slower than her. When he got close to the cave, he saw a fox rush into Yao Sisi's arms. The intimate actions didn't seem like it had only happened once. In his eyes, this fox became Ri Jiu.
For some reason, a very distant scene suddenly appeared in his mind: a simple courtyard, a plain room, a woman lying on the bed, drunk and confused, holding his hand and not letting him leave, and saying to him, "You are as beautiful as a vixen."
His back was pressed against the outer wall of the cave. The cold stone wall emanated a chill that seeped into his heart. A stinging sensation came from every pore. He stiffened as he watched his clothes being lifted by the wind. Then his body slid weakly off the wall. He squatted on the ground and mocked the useless clothes. They couldn't withstand even the slightest breeze. Not only could they not block the cold air, but they also opened themselves wide to welcome it.
Inside, Yao Sisi saw that he was disheveled, tugged at him, and then kicked him off the bed. "Little fox, do you know what you're doing?"
Riku: "I'm playing with fire!"
Yao Sisi: "???" You stole my lines?
It's all her fault for saying all sorts of random things all the time. This guy actually used that word here, and it completely destroyed half of the temper she had just gotten into.
She rubbed her forehead and said helplessly, "Little fox, that's not how relationships work. Just because others have something doesn't mean you have to have it too. Can't you channel your competitiveness into your cultivation instead of always being so playful!"
Ri Jiu, feeling wronged and with a do-or-die attitude, said, "How am I just being playful? Can't I just like you?"
Yao Sisi: "??? You really understand what liking someone means?"
Ri Jiu firmly replied, "I understand!"
Yao Sisi thought to herself: You don't know anything!
But she smiled very gently at him and coaxed, "Then you go back first, let me think about it."
Ri Jiu's gaze lingered on her face, afraid that she would just give him the runaround. This time, he had really mustered up his courage and didn't want her to run away anymore.
"Then you have to promise me you'll think about it seriously! It's okay if you don't like me, but you can't lie to me."
Yao Sisi waved her hand to indicate that she understood, and then told him to go back.
Ri Jiu got up from the ground, but instead of straightening his clothes properly, he arrogantly pulled his clothes down when he saw Qi Mu standing there at the door.
Qi Mu scoffed jealously, "What's the point of pulling it down if there's no trace left? Are you trying to outshine me in terms of whiteness?"
Ri Jiu ignored his words and instead said smugly, "What are we competing in? Of course, it's about being one step ahead of you!"
Yao Sisi heard some noise inside the cave. She got up and was about to go out when Qi Mu walked in.
She didn't mention what had just happened in the cave. After all, it was Ri Jiu's business, and there was no need to tell him more. Otherwise, the little fox himself would feel ashamed of this embarrassing history, and they would look like terrible parents showing off their child's embarrassing history.
Qi Mu didn't ask anything after entering. He just took out a bunch of spiritual plants and flowers from his storage bag and said, "Your cave is too monotonous. I just happened to get some spiritual plants today, so I'm giving them to you to decorate it."
Yao Sisi's gaze shifted to the flowers: "Are these easy to care for?"
Qi Mu lied. His lover, Mei, was the most difficult to raise. Otherwise, how could he show that their relationship was hard-won and needed to be cherished?
The flower language of the Valentine's Rose is the one you love most.
"Don't worry, it's easy to take care of, and besides, I'm here to help you take care of it from time to time."
Yao Sisi: "I know you're good at cultivating spiritual plants. Even the most difficult ones are no problem for you. I'm just worried that you'll worry about me and that it will interfere with your cultivation."
Qi Mu: "It's alright. I don't follow the path of ascetic cultivation. Helping you grow flowers won't affect my path to enlightenment, and it might even benefit me!"
Yao Sisi paused for a moment: "A boost? Really? Then all the spiritual plants inside and outside my cave will depend on you!"
Qi Mu smiled gently: "Okay, I will definitely take good care of it."
