“Yino, I guess we are finished.”
Yuyan had meticulously scrubbed Yino’s entire back, but in the end, she could only sigh as she looked at the young man’s smooth, clean skin.
While Yuyan felt like she’d wasted her effort, strangely, she didn’t feel disappointed. Instead, she felt rather content.
Perhaps this was why Yanran often urged her to come down the mountain and socialize more? When had she stopped finding Yino’s chattiness annoying and actually started enjoying their conversations?
Yuyan couldn’t quite figure it out. She’d never been good at socializing and didn’t enjoy talking to people, which was why she’d spent all these years alone on Ranmo Peak, cultivating and playing chess.
But one thing she was certain of – talking with Yino now made her happy. Plus, he wasn’t just good for conversation; he could play chess with her too! He was the perfect housemate!
Looking back, luring him away from the Grand Tutor’s Mansion had been quite foresighted!
This thought improved her mood even further.
She removed the washing cloth from her right hand, rinsed it in the bath, then playfully smacked it against Yino’s back with a “pat!”
Yino jumped, thinking his senior sister was angry again. Actually, there had been dirt on him before, but that night in Western Province City, Yunjin had already helped him scrub it off.
“Yino, after you finish bathing, you can ask for another wish.”
Yuyan patted her hands and sat up from the edge of the bath.
Her knees were slightly red from kneeling on the floor. Her short braided dress paired with black stockings and flushed legs created an especially alluring sight.
Yino turned to look in surprise: “I get two rewards this time?”
“Still just one, the scrubbing doesn’t count.”
Yuyan spoke softly, and seeming uncomfortable, quickly removed her silver hairpin, letting her black hair cascade down.
Meeting the young man’s delighted gaze, the black-haired maiden puffed her cheeks slightly, her face reddened by the bath’s steam.
“You performed so well last night, and since it’s rare to have a chance for a reward, your senior doesn’t want to brush it off in just a few minutes.”
This time, Yuyan spoke seriously, though her puffed cheeks said another story.
As a chosen one, she was proud by nature and didn’t like being taken for a fool.
From the bathing session, Yuyan could tell that Yino hadn’t really thought about any substantial reward, he’d simply used the scrubbing as an excuse to chat with her.
Yuyan wasn’t sure what Yino was thinking. Perhaps the young man truly adored his senior sister so much that just hearing her gentle praise was enough to make him happy.
But to Yuyan, this wasn’t showing Yino proper respect.
Yino had genuinely saved her life last night. Though Yuyan had saved him before too, she’d done it out of duty and responsibility, while Yino had saved her out of pure genuine feeling.
So, Yuyan wanted to give Yino something tangible as compensation, not just symbolic gestures like scrubbing his back.
“Then I want…” Yino suddenly spoke up.
But this time, Yuyan saw through his trick and quickly raised her finger to interrupt him: “Don’t tell me now!”
“Stop thinking of simple rewards to placate your senior sister. I can help you scrub without it being a reward, but some things are only possible tonight.”
“I’ll give you half an hour to bathe. Think carefully about what you really need.”
“Tell me when you’re ready.”
Leaving these words behind, Yuyan didn’t linger. She gave Yino an expectant and approving look before turning to leave.
In the bath, Yino leaned against the edge, enlightened by Yuyan’s words.
Since returning tonight, Yuyan had been exceptionally gentle with him, and the atmosphere had grown somewhat ambiguous. He’d been so focused on trying to increase his senior sister’s favorability that he’d forgotten about more important matters.
Thinking carefully, Yino realized there was something he truly needed from Yuyan!
The Innate Sword Dao Holy Body!
While it seemed impressive, it was really just like a
Destiny Title
. Having the Sword Dao Holy Body alone wasn’t enough; he needed to cultivate to experience growth rates far beyond ordinary mortals!
And Yuyan, as the Frost Holy Body wilder and the peak sword cultivator among Wuji Sect disciples, naturally possessed high purity sword intent and spiritual energy!
“Why not ask senior sister to dual cultivate with me tonight, help me open my meridians, and fully awaken this Sword Dao Holy Body’s potential?”
“Brilliant! I’m a
genius~!
”
At this thought, Yino’s eyes widened with sudden enlightenment.
Previously, he’d lacked talent and relied purely on hard work, but now with this toptier Sword Dao Body talent, combined with Yuyan’s high-purity sword intent, wouldn’t he skyrocket overnight?
“Perfect! This is perfect!”
“I might break through to the Core Formation stage before the calamity in the next volume of the game!”
…
…
…
On Ranmo Peak’s courtyard lawn.
The white-robed immortal maiden stood before a stone table split in two, lost in thought under the moonlight. Her rouge lips slightly pursed, her beautiful face showing hints of headache at the sorry sight, despite her previously good mood.
“Hahaha!”
“I’ve got it! I’ve got it!”
Suddenly, excited shouts came from the bathhouse behind the building.
Yuyan turned to look, first raising her eyebrows, then feeling confused again.
She hadn’t expected that her casual promise of a reward would make her little junior brother so excited after she left…
This went beyond simple admiration for his senior sister, right?
If someone became this overjoyed just from a promise of reward, Yuyan had to say, such affection seemed rather unhealthy, even fanatical. ƒгeewebnovёl.com
Honestly, Yuyan felt quite uncertain.
After spending so much time together, she’d actually grown to accept Yino’s slightly perverted nature. As long as he didn’t openly harass or tease her, and maintained respect for his senior sister, Yuyan didn’t mind occasionally wearing black or white stockings, showing a bit of leg for him to admire and enjoy the view.

But the problem was…
Yuyan wasn’t sure how to handle the emotional relationship between herself and the young man.
She worried that Yino’s love for her was too intense, but when she thought about completely severing ties and making him give up, Yuyan felt that would be too cruel. After all, Yino had cried and confessed his true feelings last night – he’d come to Wuji Sect for her.
If Yuyan truly hurt him with harsh words, what reason would Yino have to stay on Ranmo Peak? He might as well pack up and return to living the life of a young master at the Grand Tutor’s Mansion.
But Yuyan didn’t want Yino to leave. She still wanted him to play chess with her, or at least stay by her side for daily conversation.
“Such a headache…”
“I should ask sister Yanran for advice…”
Yuyan couldn’t find a solution no matter how much she thought about it. If only dealing with people was as simple as cultivation.
Just as Yuyan was lost in thought, the door nearby opened—
“Senior Sister, I’ve figured out how you can properly reward your disciple tonight~”
