Chapter 291: 144. Forcibly kissing the beautiful Master! Please forgive your disciple’s betrayal! (4K)_2
"Oh? What grand gift?" Lin Xiao frowned, sensing that this matter wasn’t so simple.
"Elder Sister Chu said it’s a painting, placed on the desk in her bedroom!" the young maiden informed him.
Hearing this, Lin Xiao couldn’t help but give a bitter laugh. He took the painting from the table into his Purple Mansion. "Well, as you can see, your task is completed. You can leave now."
Just as the words left his mouth, he couldn’t shake the feeling that something was off. Strange. Why wouldn’t Youwei deliver this painting herself? Why ask someone else? Could it be that she has another, bigger gift planned for tonight, during my wedding ceremony with Yurong? Ugh, this is utterly baffling! Seriously, can someone please explain to me what the hell a ’surprise’ is supposed to mean?!
...
...
Still, no matter what, for Youwei to have the presence of mind to seek guidance on cultivation techniques from the Music Sage, especially on my wedding day, shows that girl has truly found peace with the situation! Therefore, the current progress of the Dating War is—(3/4)! Next up, the only one left is... the woman who awakened her second nature!
Leaving Chu Youwei’s residence, Lin Xiao went directly to his Junior Sister Lu Yingying’s room.
Recalling the "dragon chant" he’d heard on Phoenix Caw Peak while kissing Wanning, Lin Xiao’s heart tightened, and he accelerated his Sword Control speed.
Soon, he arrived at Lu Yingying’s small wooden cabin near the entrance of the Sacred Beast Garden.
WHOOSH!
As soon as Lin Xiao landed, the massive Lion Hawk Beast FLUTTERED over, rubbing its head against him.
"Well now, little fella. Just like your young master, you’re getting more and more clingy," Lin Xiao said, chuckling.
Looking at the spiritual beast before him—with the head of a hawk and the body of a lion, fluffy all over, and its endearingly goofy demeanor—Lin Xiao gave its chin a scratch, as if petting a cat.
"Where’s your little master? Is she sleeping inside?" he asked.
"PURR."
The Lion Hawk Beast first nodded, then hesitantly shook its head.
"What the hell." Lin Xiao shook his head. He walked forward and gently pushed open the wooden door.
The room inside was pitch black. By the moonlight filtering through the window, a delicate, sleeping face was faintly illuminated. This girl is so adorable even when she’s asleep. So perfectly sculpted, like a porcelain doll.
A sudden surge of affection filled Lin Xiao’s heart. He couldn’t resist sitting down beside her and lightly touching her delicate little nose. To think he had done such shameless things with such an adorable girl... a fresh wave of shame washed over him.
Rarely this sentimental, Lin Xiao leaned down and gently kissed the girl’s forehead. "Yingying," he whispered in an extremely low voice, "Eldest Senior Brother will always be your Eldest Senior Brother. Since I’ve decided to stay, Eldest Senior Brother will definitely protect you for your entire life."
He wasn’t sure if he’d imagined it, but just for a fleeting moment, he thought he saw the girl’s lips curve into a subtle smile before it disappeared.
"Yingying?" he called softly.
There was no response.
She really is sound asleep, he thought. "Sleep well. It’s probably best if you don’t attend Eldest Senior Brother’s wedding banquet. Wait until one day..." Lin Xiao bit his lip. "I’ll give you your very own wedding, and make you my... little bride!"
He gazed at the girl’s delicate, endearing face, and finally couldn’t stop himself from voicing the thoughts in his heart.
Yes, he could deceive others, but not himself. Even if his feelings for Lu Yingying had once truly been the protective affection of an elder brother, like that of a father, after their repeated intimate encounters, that affection had long since transformed. He had genuinely fallen for this quirky, elfish girl! He loved every part of her! Including... that strange second nature she had awakened! Even if he were condemned by thousands, even if people called him a pervert, he didn’t care! There’s no shame in love itself!
At this moment, Lin Xiao suddenly felt an unparalleled clarity within his heart.
Having broken through a certain cognitive barrier, his state of mind had also ascended to a new level.
He had finally, before his Little Junior Sister, confronted his own true feelings!
Lin Xiao gently gazed at the girl for a moment.
He couldn’t resist pulling the blanket up for her.
It was also at this moment that he noticed she wasn’t wearing her usual white silk stockings today. Beneath the hem of her golden skirt, a pair of stunningly white, youthful legs were suddenly revealed. That girl Yingying... she had that mischievous habit of cutting a small hole in her white silk stockings before. Now that she isn’t wearing them, surely she wouldn’t...
Whatever train of thought it was, Lin Xiao suddenly felt a scorching heat rise within him. His mind, clear and bright just moments ago, instantly became muddled again.
Driven by a spirit of inquiry and exploration, he flicked his finger, conjuring a gentle breeze that subtly lifted the edge of the girl’s skirt. He took a peek...
Since Lu Yingying was currently sleeping on her side with her legs curled and overlapping, what met his eyes was, as always, a hint of pink...
She really is...! Truly worthy of you, Yingying...
At this moment, Lin Xiao felt his mouth go dry and his body break out in a sweat. His Formless Sword Body also triggered all of its violent passive abilities!
I have to go. If I stay any longer, big trouble will brew!
With this thought, Lin Xiao didn’t dare to linger for another second. Transforming into an Escape Light, he darted out the door!
Not long after he left, on the bed, the petite, twin-tailed girl with flawless, porcelain skin, looking as if she had stepped straight out of a 2D world, slowly opened her limpid, beautiful eyes!
"Eldest Senior Brother! Yingying is so, so happy tonight!" she exclaimed. "So... so Eldest Senior Brother likes Yingying this much too! AHHH! I’m just so happy!"
A happy blush spread across the girl’s face. She rolled over, her snow-white legs kicking gleefully in the air.
