The Junior Sister Isn't Flirtatious At All; It's All Their Fault for Being Too Seductive - Chapter 18

If Gu Wangfeng heard Jiang Luoyue’s thoughts, he would surely weep silently for a while.

He had lived a thousand years on bigu (abstaining from grain and earthly food), and had long forgotten what the “cuisine of the palate” was, unlike Jiang Luoyue, who, even while abstaining from regular food, could not forget Jiang Luoxing’s cooking.

“Luoyue, no one has survived the Grand Void Cliff for thousands of years. What opportunity did you obtain? I even heard from Uncle Chen that you’ve already reached the Nascent Soul realm,” Yue Wenqiu asked.

Jiang Luoxing had not stopped learning during these two months. He had acquired a basic understanding of cultivation knowledge and knew that moving from the Golden Core to the Nascent Soul stage typically takes several centuries.

Jiang Luoyue’s cultivation was previously inferior to Yue Wenqiu’s, yet now she surpassed him, and he was a renowned young master in the cultivation world.

“I indeed obtained some opportunities,” Jiang Luoyue hesitated for a moment. Going down the Grand Void Cliff led to the Grand Void Realm, which was Gu Wangfeng’s secret, and she did not want to tell outsiders.

“I encountered Gu Wangfeng; he was the one who saved me,” Jiang Luoyue thought. As long as she didn’t mention going to the Grand Void Realm, it should be fine, right?

Yue Wenqiu frowned.

“Gu Wangfeng… he was once a very famous cultivator with extremely high talent. He reached the Integration Stage at five hundred years old, but since then, he has secluded himself to cultivate and hasn’t appeared for a thousand years. Some say he has ascended, while others speculate he has passed away,” Yue Wenqiu said.

“Then, Young Master Yue, have you ever met him?” Jiang Luoxing hadn’t heard Yue Wenqiu mention this person.

Yue Wenqiu smiled. “Of course not. I am less than two hundred years old. How could I have met someone who disappeared a thousand years ago?”

Jiang Luoxing nodded. The long lifespan of cultivators was too distant for him.

“Ah…” Jiang Luoyue was stunned. Gu Wangfeng was already several hundred years old before he disappeared, and he had been gone for a thousand years. “How old must he be then…”

“He should be over three thousand years old, right?” Yue Wenqiu pondered briefly. “Luoyue, are you sure it was him?”

“I think so,” Jiang Luoyue was certain it was Gu Wangfeng; after all, the System hadn’t refuted it.

“He just happened to save you so conveniently?” Yue Wenqiu picked up a spirit fruit and offered it to Jiang Luoyue’s mouth, his eyes holding something she couldn’t understand.

“Yes. He is a Great Ascension cultivator, so saving me shouldn’t have been difficult,” Jiang Luoyue opened her mouth and bit the spirit fruit, chewing it. The fruit’s juice stained her lips a lovely color.

“Did he help you cultivate?” Yue Wenqiu’s gaze scrutinized her. “Was he really that kind-hearted?”

“He is quite kind-hearted. He said my dantian was chaotic with impurities and helped me cleanse it,” Jiang Luoyue somewhat guiltily avoided his gaze. She couldn’t very well say that she raised her cultivation through dual cultivation, could she?

Yue Wenqiu nodded, asking no more questions.

Seeing that he had finally dropped the subject, the stone in Jiang Luoyue’s heart was finally lifted. It’s best not to rush to tell them about my relationship with Gu Wangfeng.

If they were to learn that while they were anxiously searching for her, she was enjoying physical intimacy and daily flirtation with a man in the Grand Void Realm, they would instantly blow up.

Yue Wenqiu naturally didn’t miss her subtle expressions, shifting from guilt to a sigh of relief. He figured that the relationship between Jiang Luoyue and Gu Wangfeng was likely not as simple as she claimed.

“Older Sister, I’ve been waiting for you here all this time,” Jiang Luoxing’s voice broke the awkwardness between Yue Wenqiu and Jiang Luoyue. “Are we going to continue staying at the East Mount Sect then?”

Upon hearing this, Yue Wenqiu instantly held his breath, looking at Jiang Luoyue with anticipation in his eyes.

“No,” Jiang Luoyue said.

Yue Wenqiu’s expression immediately fell. “Where are you going?”

It was generally difficult for rogue cultivators to wander outside, especially while having to take along Jiang Luoxing, a mortal. Yue Wenqiu was genuinely worried about her. Staying here would at least afford her the protection of a major sect.

“I’m already a Nascent Soul cultivator, so of course, I have to go back and cause a big fuss,” Jiang Luoyue said proudly, placing her hands on her hips and raising a bright smile. A charming expression flickered across her vivid face.

Jiang Luoxing and Yue Wenqiu both looked sympathetic upon hearing this. They had both heard Jiang Luoyue’s life story and naturally understood her desire for revenge.

“Do you need my help?” Yue Wenqiu asked, and before Jiang Luoyue could refuse, he quickly added, “I want to stay by your side.”

Jiang Luoyue rubbed her chin, adopting a thoughtful posture.

“Host can bring him along! The System has an item called the Floating Abode. It’s small and portable, but it holds a world of its own! You can build all kinds of houses inside, and you can fit many, many men,” the System chimed in appropriately.

“As long as you give them the communication jade slip, they can enter and exit freely. If they miss you, they can come in to rest; if they have business, they can go out and take care of it.”

“Then hurry and give it to me,” Jiang Luoyue exclaimed excitedly. Her hesitation was purely because she felt travel should be simple.

Moreover, Yue Wenqiu was the eldest young master of a major sect. He couldn’t revolve around her all the time. The item the System mentioned sounded incredibly useful.

“Host, your Affection Value is insufficient,” the System said in a pitiful tone.

Jiang Luoyue suddenly looked disheartened.

Yue Wenqiu didn’t understand why she was suddenly unhappy. Was his request difficult for her?

“Luoyue…” Just as Yue Wenqiu was about to speak, Jiang Luoyue interrupted him.

“I’ll rest and reorganize for two days before leaving. I’ll have to trouble Young Master Yue to accommodate me for two more days,” Jiang Luoyue clasped her hands together and blinked at him, coaxing him like a kitten.

Yue Wenqiu couldn’t possibly resist. His ears turned red as he said, “You can stay as long as you like.”

That night, just as Jiang Luoyue was preparing to rest, Jiang Luoxing quietly came to her room.

As soon as Jiang Luoxing pushed the door open and walked in, Jiang Luoyue’s puzzled voice rang out, “Luoxing, what is it? Why are you looking for me so late?”

Jiang Luoxing, whose movements had been stealthy, froze and stood up straight awkwardly. How could he have overlooked the fact that Older Sister was a very powerful cultivator? No matter how lightly he tiptoed, he couldn’t escape her senses.

Jiang Luoxing immediately adopted a pitiful, helpless expression, like an abandoned puppy. If he had a tail, it would surely be slowly wagging in an attempt to please her.

“Older Sister, I miss you so much,” Jiang Luoxing shuffled to Jiang Luoyue’s bedside.

He half-knelt by her bed, grabbed her hand, pressed it against his face, and rubbed it gently.

“Older Sister, do you know how worried I was about you? I dreamed so many times that you were gone,” Jiang Luoxing said, tears welling up in the corners of his eyes.

“Just now, Young Master Yue showed concern for you, and you only talked to him,” Jiang Luoxing continued, pausing in his speech. “Young Master Yue cares about Older Sister, which is why he hogged you, but I also care about Older Sister. Although I’m happy just watching you, I also want to be closer to you.”

Jiang Luoyue hadn’t expected Jiang Luoxing to speak such manipulative words (cha yan cha yu). His words were clearly suggesting that Yue Wenqiu was overly possessive.

If Yue Wenqiu were present, he would surely be furious and point his finger at him, yet he wouldn’t have the sharp tongue to retort with insults.

He’s suffering because of his good upbringing.
