“Then why? You used to let me handle all these chores before, Senior Sister…”
“Now that I can’t cultivate anymore, my biggest use on Ranmo Peak is just helping Senior Sister with housework…”
Yino said listlessly, his eyes carrying hints of inferiority.
Yuyan couldn’t bear to see his pitiful expression. Her conscience ached – it was actually her own overflowing that had soiled the sheets, yet here she was falsely accusing Yino and making him feel inferior.
“F-fine…”
“Yino, if you really want to wash them, then go ahead… Now do you believe Senior Sister isn’t disgusted with you?”
Yuyan finally gave in to Yino, forcing herself to agree despite her inner shame.
At these words, the previously dejected young man’s eyes immediately lit up. He blinked, seeming to see a ray of hope in his senior sister’s face.
“Mm…”
Yino nodded slowly. Though Yuyan had shown strange resistance during the process, at least her gaze now seemed sincere, not like she disliked him.
Having settled the sheet matter, Yuyan finally remembered the important topic.
She took a deep breath, then leaned forward slightly, looking into Yino’s eyes with gravity as she asked:
“Yino, do you remember what happened last night?”
“What happened? Sleeping together with Senior Sister?”
The young man raised his eyebrows, trying hard to recall but still looking confused.
Yuyan clicked her tongue silently, and could only continue probing:
“No… I mean after you fell asleep.”
“How would I have memories if I was asleep? Did I sleepwalk last night?”
“No… nothing like that, you didn’t sleepwalk…”
Yuyan’s lips twitched. She had been staring intently at Yino with her beautiful eyes and truly saw no hint of deception in the young man’s gaze.
Since Yino didn’t remember rolling over and holding Yuyan like a body pillow, she could only change the subject and ask again:
“I mean, do you remember what you dreamed about last night?”
Actually, in asking this, Yuyan wasn’t looking for an exact answer. She just wanted to observe Yino’s expression face-to-face. No matter what he said, none of the young man’s expressions or little thoughts could escape Yuyan’s scrutiny.
Meanwhile, after a brief contemplation, Yino drew in a sharp breath, his eyes showing nervousness and guilt.
Of course Yino would panic!
Because he remembered dreaming about the fallen Liuli, and later vigorously stirring up Yuebai.
Actually, dreaming of these scenes was normal, since they were Yino’s most exciting and deeply memorable experiences in the Azure Forest.
“Uh… I seem to have dreamed some not very good scenes…”
After thinking it through, Yino still found it somewhat hard to speak about.
He was considering how to make something up, and feeling guilty under Yuyan’s cold beautiful gaze since he wasn’t sure if he had sleepwalked or talked in his sleep last night. However, Yuyan wasn’t at all surprised by Yino’s nervous behavior.
“You had a wet dream, didn’t you?”
She prompted again.
Yino swallowed and said seriously: “Mm… I dreamed I was in the Azure Forest, fighting intensely with two bad women…”
“Liuli?”
“Yes, she’s that Holy Maiden of the Full Moon Sect… but, how did Senior Sister know?”
“Because you called her name last night.”
“Ah?” Discover more stories at My Virtual Library Empire
“You were calling her name while fearfully holding onto me…”
“What? I was holding Senior Sister? How was I holding you?”
“Don’t ask about the specific details. You just need to know I don’t mind, since you just went through a near-death experience in the secret realm, this is all a normal psychological reaction.”
“Ah? Is that so?”
Yino’s lips twitched as cold sweat broke out on his back.
Just hearing that he had held onto Yuyan while sleepwalking, and recalling the scenes of intensely fighting with Liuli and Yuebai in his dream, he seemed to imagine some fantastic scenario.
However, judging from Yuyan’s cold and desireless expression, Yino felt nothing must have happened last night. Otherwise, if he had really embraced Senior Sister and started doing demonic things, Yuyan would certainly have slapped him awake and demanded to know what absurd plot he had dreamed about.
But now, Yuyan said nothing, which precisely meant Yino must have been relatively well-behaved last night, at most just holding her with a bit of friction.
And this small degree of friction was naturally within Yuyan’s mental tolerance, otherwise she wouldn’t be so forgiving in comforting Yino now.
“That’s… that’s good… I was worried I might have done something inappropriate to you last night…”
“You didn’t.”
Yuyan closed her eyes, briefly recalling last night’s memories, but actually couldn’t remember anything, because after being held by Yino she had felt hot all over and dizzily fallen asleep. As for what happened between her and Yino in the latter half of the night, Yuyan had absolutely no memory of that period.
However, Yuyan didn’t think there was any problem. She had cultivated for so many years – even while sleeping, a Nascent Soul stage cultivator’s body would have a layer of self-defense mechanism. If Yino had really done anything inappropriate in his dream, Yuyan would have woken up immediately.
But while Yuyan knew this herself, she still maintained a cold, calculating expression in front of Yino:
“You slept very soundly last night. If anything, your reaction was just a bit strong this morning… but that’s also normal, just happened to be something Senior Sister encountered this morning.”
“Is that so…”
Yino awkwardly pursed his lips. He had planned to be vague about it, but now that they’d talked this far, there was something making him truly uncomfortable that he couldn’t help but ask: “Um, I have a question.”
“Speak.”
“I didn’t hold onto you the whole night, did I?”
“…”
This short question actually made Yuyan fall silent.
Recalling the robust, unyielding pressure she felt upon waking this morning, even Yuyan’s beautiful cold face couldn’t help but warm with embarrassment.
But at least in front of Yino, Yuyan still pretended to be unruffled as she lightly snorted:
“Not quite. In the first half of the night you lacked security, so I let you hold on for a few hours. But in the latter half when I saw you sleeping soundly, I temporarily had you change position to sleep well.”
“Is… is that so… You scared me, I thought that position when I woke up this morning was what caused the reaction…”
Yino let out a long breath, patting his chest in relief.
But beside him, the white-robed beauty imperceptibly pressed her crimson lips together, her cold enchanting face showing a barely visible blush.
Just as the two were harboring their own thoughts and the room’s atmosphere had grown somewhat ambiguous, a series of knocking sounds came from outside the courtyard of Ranmo Peak—
“Yuyan! Open up!”
“The Medicine Elder from the Immortal Alliance has come to diagnose Junior Yino’s condition!”
