Dao Companion Crippled, Coveters Move

Chapter 372 359: "So you like Senior Sister's tea this much... Junior Brother, you're such a greedy little cat~

The next morning, a thin mist still lingered.

Pei Yuhang rode his Flying Sword, bursting through the biting wind and snow as he flew toward Dan Yun Pavilion.

Qianqian's voice echoed in his ears. "Brother Pei, you can test Lu Fairy today..."

Pei Yuhang's fingers, held in the gesture for his Sword Control Technique, turned white from the pressure.

He shook his head and tried to reassure himself.

'Impossible. Senior Sister... she would never be as awful as Qianqian imagines.'

'I have to prove to Qianqian that Senior Sister is a good person!'

Pei Yuhang's lips tightened. He steeled his resolve to prove his Senior Sister's good character to Qianqian.

WHOOSH—

Pei Yuhang leaped from his Flying Sword, landing on the stone steps before Dan Yun Pavilion. He was here again after several months.

'The last time he came here, he'd ended up sleeping with Senior Sister again in a confused daze...'

Pei Yuhang recalled opening his eyes last time to see his Senior Sister before him, brushing her long, dark hair. A flicker of doubt and contemplation crossed his eyes.

'How could I have gotten so hot-headed and made that mistake with her again?'

'He remembered... wasn't he supposed to be clearing the air with her about what happened that drunken night?'

'How did talking about it somehow lead to them tumbling in the sheets?'

BUZZ—

A heart-shaped Rune flashed across Pei Yuhang's vision.

Pei Yuhang's expression faltered. He muttered to himself, 'Sigh, it seems I've been led astray by Qianqian. I can't believe I'm starting to suspect Senior Sister, too.'

'Senior Sister is so good to me and Liyuan. I really shouldn't doubt her.'

'As her Junior Brother, I should be more considerate of her... Senior Sister is my... family.'

Seemingly having convinced himself, Pei Yuhang strode into Dan Yun Pavilion.

A few Pill Masters who were strolling in front of the pavilion saw this and immediately began recording it with a Memory Stone.

...

"Junior Brother, you're here."

The moment Pei Yuhang stepped out of the Teleportation Scroll, he heard his Senior Sister's voice, as gentle as water, welcoming him.

He looked up to see Lu Ruoxi dressed in a moon-white, flowing, wide-sleeved gown. A pale cyan silk ribbon was tied at her waist, accentuating her willow-like figure. She looked elegant and otherworldly, her ethereal presence making one unconsciously lower their guard.

Such a beautiful, gentle, and holy Fairy inspired a feeling of trust and closeness.

'How could she possibly be the same as that bewitching Shang Miaoyan? That woman is so unhinged, it's like she has "I'm a bad girl, and I want you all to myself" written right on her face,' Pei Yuhang thought.

"Junior Brother, what are you spacing out for? Is there something on my face?"

Lu Ruoxi spoke with a gentle smile, her slender, fair hands cupping a celadon teacup. Steam curled from the tea, suffused with a faint Spiritual Mist, and its fragrance was utterly soothing.

"Here, Junior Brother, time for tea~"

"It's been so long since you've had my tea. You must have missed the taste, right?"

Pei Yuhang took the tea but didn't drink it. He felt it was more important to first explain to his Senior Sister what had happened with Qianqian yesterday.

"Senior Sister, Qianqian and I are actually..."

Lu Ruoxi shook her head lightly, the gentle smile on her lips unchanging, but she firmly signaled for Pei Yuhang not to speak yet.

She reached out to brush a stray lock of hair from his shoulder, disheveled by the mountain wind. If one ignored the way her fingertips ambiguously, almost imperceptibly, grazed his chest, it would have been a heartwarming picture of a senior sister tidying her junior brother's clothes.

"There now, Junior Brother. I already said, let's drink tea first, okay?"

"I don't want to talk about Lin Qianyan right now. That woman isn't important to us."

Lu Ruoxi's eyes shimmered, seemingly holding some deep meaning that one couldn't quite decipher.

When Pei Yuhang heard his Senior Sister say Qianqian wasn't important, his hand holding the teacup tightened slightly.

But he ultimately decided that since his Senior Sister was so insistent, he could tell her about Qianqian later.

So Pei Yuhang slowly brought the teacup to his lips.

The warm tea slid down his throat. It had a hint of fresh sweetness, and though he couldn't tell what kind of water it was brewed with, the taste was certainly unique. He thought it was rather delicious.

However, this tea did not enter Pei Yuhang's stomach.

It was absorbed by a fingernail-sized pearl at his throat.

This was the Water-Repelling Pearl Qianqian had given him yesterday. She had claimed it could absorb entire rivers and lakes, and warned him to be wary of any suspicious liquids his Senior Sister offered.

Pei Yuhang still felt that Qianqian was being overly vigilant, perhaps because of what happened with Shang Miaoyan, and was now far too suspicious of every woman around him.

But these misunderstandings were just small things.

'Once I prove Senior Sister's character to Qianqian today, I'm sure she and Senior Sister will become good friends, just like Liyuan!'

Lost in this happy vision of the future, Pei Yuhang placed the empty teacup beside him.

"You drank it all, Junior Brother... What a little glutton. Do you like my tea that much?"

Lu Ruoxi gazed at the empty cup, a crimson blush spreading across her fair face. Her breathing grew rapid, and the full curves of her chest, barely contained by her robes, began to heave.

"Senior Sister, what did you say?"

"Oh, nothing~ It's just that I'm very happy that Junior Brother Pei likes my tea so much."

Lu Ruoxi spoke, crooking her finger to signal for Pei Yuhang to follow her.

"Junior Brother, let me help you refine that Yanghuang Pill first."

Seeing that Pei Yuhang had drunk the tea, Lu Ruoxi was no longer in a hurry to ask about Lin Qianyan.

'Anyway, once I have him under my control and we're having our fun together...'

'My completely obedient Junior Brother Pei will tell me everything about that Lin Qianyan woman, clearly and without holding anything back.'

'For now, I should help Junior Brother Pei with his Cultivation breakthrough. When his Yang Fire becomes purer and more potent, the benefits of our dual cultivation will be even greater for both of us.'

Lu Ruoxi estimated that after being 'nourished' by her Junior Brother so many times, she wasn't far from the Void Refining realm herself.

She raised her hand, opening a Grotto Heaven Gate. Inside was her personal Alchemy Room, befitting her status as Elder Lu.

"Junior Brother, take off your clothes now and come inside with me."

Lu Ruoxi's red lips curled up, and she crooked her finger at Pei Yuhang, as if in invitation.

"Senior Sister, can I enter the Pill Furnace with my clothes on? They're water- and fire-repellent, so it shouldn't be a problem."

Pei Yuhang was embarrassed at the thought of being naked in front of his Senior Sister.

However, Lu Ruoxi's expression turned serious.

"No, you can't, Junior Brother."

"Helping you refine an Elixir is not that simple. I am the expert, and I wouldn't tell you anything that would harm you. Don't tell me you don't trust me, Junior Brother?"

"Of course not..."

"Then take off your clothes."

Lu Ruoxi's scorching gaze was fixed on the White-clothed Sword Immortal before her. She seemed unable to wait to see him strip off those robes, so white and untouched by the Mortal World.

"Then... Senior Sister, can I find an empty room to change in?"

With no other choice, Pei Yuhang relented.

"Of course I'll arrange an empty room for you, Junior Brother. Or did you want to change in front of me?"

Lu Ruoxi teased with a smile, then led an embarrassed Pei Yuhang to an empty room.

After Pei Yuhang closed the door.

Lu Ruoxi took out a mirror. Reflected in it were not her own pretty and elegant features, but Pei Yuhang, beginning to untie the collar of his robes and his Jade Belt!

'Let Senior Sister see if her Junior Brother has gotten any thinner...'

Lu Ruoxi ran the tip of her tongue over her full, red lips. Her gaze burned as she stared at the mirror, watching Pei Yuhang begin to peel off his upper garments.

She watched his delicate collarbones appear, followed by his strong chest and firm abs. His figure was powerful, yet slender...

Lu Ruoxi swallowed hard, her beautiful eyes misting over.

She was completely mesmerized.
