The Junior Sister Isn't Flirtatious At All; It's All Their Fault for Being Too Seductive - Chapter 3

Jiang Luoyue brought Jiang Luoxing to stay temporarily at an inn, but a single night at the inn cost two taels of silver. Jiang Luoyue checked her purse and realized the System’s reward was truly small.

Jiang Luoxing noticed her action and thoughtfully said, “Older Sister, I can share a room with you. I can just sleep on the floor.”

The innkeeper was moved by the sight of the sister and brother relying on each other. He smiled and said, “I can provide an extra quilt.”

“Then let’s take one room,” Jiang Luoyue grudgingly agreed.

“Hehe, one room means you’ll be more intimate,” the System suddenly appeared, its tone full of teasing.

After tidying up the room, Jiang Luoxing finally spoke.

“Older Sister, where should we go?” Jiang Luoxing asked.

“System, is there a place suitable for cultivation with abundant spiritual energy?” Jiang Luoyue asked the System. Her cultivation was only at the Foundation Establishment stage; she needed to reach the Golden Core stage as soon as possible.

“There is, but using the dual cultivation method is faster, you know,” the System hinted meaningfully. In the room, such a beautiful young man was staring at the Host with dewy, innocent eyes.

“…I don’t like it without an emotional foundation,” Jiang Luoyue looked at Jiang Luoxing. He resembled a little puppy, his eyes wet and glistening, making him extremely adorable and pitiful.

“Alright then, there is a Spiritual Spring seven hundred li (Chinese mile) from here,” the System replied.

Having gotten her answer, Jiang Luoyue patted Jiang Luoxing’s head. “There is a Spiritual Spring seven hundred li away. I need to go there to cultivate. For today, I’ll take you to rest.”

“Thank you, Older Sister.” Jiang Luoxing did not understand why his Older Sister was so fond of patting his head. It made him feel very shy, but he did not dislike it, especially since she was the Older Sister who had saved him.

“But…” Jiang Luoxing hesitated, about to speak but stopping himself. “I also want to cultivate. Can Older Sister teach me?”

“This boy doesn’t have a spiritual root,” the System said with a tone of deep regret.

“However, Host, your dual cultivation method can not only raise both your cultivation levels but also reconstruct a spiritual root. Reconstruction is also a way of promoting its growth,” the System continued.

“However, it requires the Host’s cultivation to be strong for the dual cultivation method to work better.”

“So… if he sleeps with me, he can gain a spiritual root and be able to cultivate?” Jiang Luoyue twitched the corner of her mouth. This wicked System kept bringing up ‘sleeping’ at every turn.

The System was so startled by Jiang Luoyue that it flinched. “But that’s just the kind of system I am! I help the Host have companions and reach the pinnacle of life.”

“Luoxing, you don’t have a spiritual root, so you can’t cultivate,” Jiang Luoyue told him.

Jiang Luoxing looked disheartened. He had thought that following his Older Sister would change his fate.

“But it’s not impossible,” Jiang Luoyue coughed awkwardly. Although the System said that she could reconstruct his spiritual root once her cultivation became strong, she certainly could not harm a minor.

“I will help you later. For now, you can practice your swordsmanship first.” Jiang Luoyue handed him a sword manual and even gave him her personal sword.

Jiang Luoxing’s eyes lit up when he received the manual, but he did not take the sword Jiang Luoyue offered.

“Older Sister, this is yours. I can’t accept it,” Jiang Luoxing said.

“If I give it to you, then take it. I’m not a sword cultivator, so I just carry this for fun,” Jiang Luoyue explained.

Sword cultivators study sword techniques, Talisman cultivators study talismans, and Array cultivators study arrays. However, that does not mean they have no contact with other fields. Jiang Luoyue only practices her sword casually.

The original owner had also reached the Golden Core stage and was one of the best among the younger generation. She was adept at using spiritual power and could use a peach branch as a sword.

Therefore, Jiang Luoyue either used a direct spiritual power attack or simply snapped off a tree branch.

Jiang Luoxing held the sword as if it were a priceless treasure. “Older Sister, you are so good to me.” His eyes were red-rimmed. He had not expected this Older Sister, who did not seem particularly warm toward him, to be so thoughtful.

“Crying already?” Jiang Luoyue found it amusing. He was a child, after all.

Jiang Luoxing remembered what Jiang Luoyue had told him about her being harmed. His Older Sister’s current cultivation was not very high. Even without a spiritual root, he needed to practice his swordsmanship well so that his physical body could shield his Older Sister from danger.

The waiter soon brought their food. Jiang Luoyue had ordered a lot of meat, thinking to nourish the thin, frail boy properly.

Jiang Luoxing felt embarrassed to let his Older Sister just watch. He pushed a chicken drumstick towards her. “Older Sister, aren’t you going to eat?”

Jiang Luoyue did not stand on ceremony and took it immediately. “After bigu (abstaining from grain and meat, a stage of cultivation), you don’t need to eat these mortal foods, but I still like to taste them occasionally.”

“I don’t have much silver, so you’ll only have nutritional pills to eat after this,” Jiang Luoyue said.

Jiang Luoxing did not show any dissatisfaction. A cultivator’s pill must be very potent.

However, hearing Jiang Luoyue say she did not have much money, Jiang Luoxing still lowered his head in embarrassment. He truly felt useless.

Jiang Luoyue felt bored after sitting for a while, so she climbed onto the bed on the side, lowered the curtain, and began to cultivate according to the original owner’s memory.

The System was still complaining that cultivating this way was too slow and inferior to the dual cultivation method.

Jiang Luoyue had ordered many dishes, and Jiang Luoxing could not finish them all.

Just as he was hesitating, Jiang Luoyue’s voice came from inside the bed curtain. “If you can’t finish it, then don’t. Go to rest quickly. We’ll be traveling tomorrow.”

Jiang Luoxing could not bear to waste it. His Older Sister had little money yet bought him so much food, so he could not waste it.

Jiang Luoxing carefully wrapped up the meat he absolutely could not finish, planning to eat it tomorrow on the road.

After tidying up everything, Jiang Luoxing finally slipped into the quilt on the floor.

He lay on his side facing Jiang Luoyue’s direction, his gaze fixed on the vague figure behind the bed curtain.

Older Sister… she was his family now, wasn’t she?

Staying in the same room as Jiang Luoyue, Jiang Luoxing could even faintly smell a delicate, clean fragrance—something a village boy from the mountains had never experienced.

Jiang Luoyue cultivated all night, her dantian (core energy center) feeling warm. She prepared to get up, and as she pulled back the bed curtain, she saw Jiang Luoxing holding a basin of water and looking at her obediently, like a puppy. “Older Sister, you’re awake? Please wash up.”

Jiang Luoxing had already asked the waiter for water and was waiting for his Older Sister to wake up.

Jiang Luoyue said while washing up, “You don’t need to do this in the future. I know the Cleaning Spell (a basic magic spell).”

Jiang Luoyue suddenly realized that the young boy had not taken a proper bath since arriving yesterday. She looked at Jiang Luoxing. The tattered clothes now had patches sewn onto them.

“Yesterday, while Older Sister was sleeping, I asked the waiter for water and washed up a bit, then just quickly sewed them myself.”

His pitiful tone and sad expression were things Jiang Luoyue simply could not resist.

The child was growing up and could not go without a decent piece of clothing to wear.

Jiang Luoyue had a storage pouch, but it contained very few items. Ever since Luo Xiuping became the sect leader, she had not lived a good life, and Zhao Ziyan had also constantly bullied her.

She rummaged and found two sets of clothes: one goose-yellow and one bamboo-green.

“Which one do you want? For a boy, wear the bamboo-green one,” Jiang Luoyue handed the clothing over. “You can alter it yourself.”

After his birth father and adopted father passed away, Jiang Luoxing lived alone. He could manage small tasks like sewing clothes, although his stitches were quite crude.

Jiang Luoyue ordered a hearty breakfast. Jiang Luoxing was quick and soon altered the green robe to fit his size, though the stitching was rough.
