The Junior Sister Isn't Flirtatious At All; It's All Their Fault for Being Too Seductive - Chapter 60

Lin Xi acted swiftly, bringing in many beautiful flowers and herbs from the outside world to transplant into the open space of the Floating Wave House.

Among them was a plant about knee-high, whose leaf tips emitted a soft, shimmering blue light, creating a dreamlike atmosphere.

“This is called Blue Lantern Grass,” Lin Xi explained. “It has no special utility, but it is exceptionally beautiful. There is a sea of Blue Lantern Grass in the Demon Realm where many couples enjoy trysts. I wonder if you like it.”

“I do,” Jiang Luoyue replied sincerely.

“That is good. I was worried you might find these ordinary plants unappealing,” Lin Xi said with a smile.

“If you thought it was ordinary, why did you bring it to me?” Jiang Luoyue asked, teasing him.

“It may be ordinary, but I like it very much,” Lin Xi said.

“True…” Jiang Luoyue mused. “I like it too. It doesn’t matter if it’s common or grand; as long as it possesses vitality, I cherish it.”

Lin Xi watched Jiang Luoyue’s gentle profile, which looked even more ethereal bathed in the shimmering blue light.

“Let’s head out,” Jiang Luoyue suggested.

After leaving the Floating Wave House, they lay back on the bed. Just as Jiang Luoyue was resting her head on Lin Xi’s arm and drifting off to sleep, the System’s voice suddenly rang out.

Why aren’t you engaging in dual cultivation with him? the System asked.

“Expressing affection doesn’t strictly require dual cultivation,” Jiang Luoyue replied.

Then who do you love the most? the System posed the ultimate trap question.

“I love them all.” Jiang Luoyue suddenly felt something was off. “Why are you asking this? Aren’t you a ‘Male Beauty’ system? Shouldn’t you be happier the more handsome men I love?”

That is true… The System paused before continuing. But dual cultivation makes you stronger. Don’t you want to become powerful more than anything?

“I do, but I have also learned how to love,” Jiang Luoyue said.

The System let out a soft chuckle.

“What are you laughing at? Does a system like you even understand love?”

Who says I don’t? I love you the most, Host, the System replied in a cloyingly sweet voice.

Jiang Luoyue recoiled mentally in disgust. “I don’t want your ‘love.'”

Wuuu… Host, don’t be so mean to me, the System whined.

For some reason, Jiang Luoyue felt the System had become much more vivid lately—it was even confessing its feelings to her. The System fell silent, and she soon drifted into a deep sleep.

The next day, Jiang Luoyue and Lin Xi prepared to take the little turtle to the Demon Realm’s Secret Realm.

“Can’t I go too?” Jiang Luoxing asked, uneasy about his sister leaving alone with the fox.

Jiang Luoyue had intended to comfort Jiang Luoxing and tell him to wait, but to her surprise, Lin Xi nodded.

“Once a connection is established with me, one can enter the Ruins of the Divine Beasts. Since Luoyue and I are Dao companions, and you are also Luoyue’s companion, a link has been established between us by extension,” Lin Xi explained. “If you want to come, keep up. An extra pair of hands won’t hurt.”

While he had agreed, both Jiang Luoyue and Jiang Luoxing found his behavior a bit strange.

“Why did you agree?” Jiang Luoyue whispered into Lin Xi’s ear.

Lin Xi glanced back at the brooding Jiang Luoxing, who had stayed a distance away to avoid eavesdropping. “If he wants to come, let him. It’s better than letting a rift grow between the two of you,” Lin Xi said dismissively.

Li Changting, having received many spiritual herbs from the Demon Tribe, prepared to stay behind to refine pills. “Come back quickly,” he said at the door, looking like a piteous, left-behind husband.

“We will, Senior Brother. Go back inside,” Jiang Luoyue smiled.

Jiang Luoyue, Jiang Luoxing, and Lin Xi—carrying the unconscious turtle—arrived at the Secret Realm.

“Let’s head straight for the Ruins,” Jiang Luoxing said, wanting to settle things quickly.

“You think the Ruins are that easy to reach?” Lin Xi scoffed. “The Secret Realm is divided into three layers. Each time you enter, you must defeat the Great Demon guarding that layer. However, since you are now at the Nascent Soul stage, I’ll leave the first layer to you.”

In the past, Jiang Luoxing would have been infuriated by such arrogance, but he remained civil for his sister’s sake. “I am only nineteen,” he said, pointedly ignoring Lin Xi while taking his sister’s hand. “Sister, believe in me. I will be incredibly strong in the future. Besides, younger is always better than older, don’t you think?”

The provocation was clear. “What did you say?! I maintain the peak of my youthful physical condition!” Lin Xi’s tail fur puffed out in indignation.

“Alright, stop bickering. Let’s find the first Great Demon,” Jiang Luoyue said, pulling Luoxing with one hand and taking Lin Xi’s with the other.

“We can gather herbs for Li Changting along the way,” Jiang Luoxing suggested.

“How rare of you to consider others,” Jiang Luoyue teased.

“Well, our family depends on him to make money, after all,” Luoxing pouted. He wasn’t just a troublemaker; he knew how to be sensible when it mattered.

“These herbs are low-grade,” Lin Xi noted, pulling a small trowel from his storage pouch. “When we reach the Great Demon, Luoxing will fight, and we’ll gather the high-grade herbs nearby.”

“You actually brought equipment.” Jiang Luoyue laughed, taking the trowel from him. “Wouldn’t your claws be more convenient for digging?”

“That’s filthy. I don’t do ‘messy,'” Lin Xi said with a look of disgust, refusing to let his white fur get soiled.

As they approached the guardian, they felt a surge of demonic power.

“It is indeed something a Nascent Soul cultivator can handle. Luoxing, give it a try; you lack combat experience,” Jiang Luoyue said, patting his shoulder before giving him a firm shove forward.

Jiang Luoxing wasn’t afraid, knowing his sister and the Demon King were backing him up. As he approached, a majestic, massive yellow-and-black striped tiger emerged from the forest, letting out a deafening roar.

Luoxing charged with his sword. Just before clashing, he turned back for a moment of encouragement, only to see Jiang Luoyue and Lin Xi focused entirely on digging up herbs.

He snorted inwardly and engaged the tiger. The beast was agile, its claws crackling with electricity. Luoxing dodged nimbly, throwing out several talismans. He raised his sword to strike, but suddenly, the white tiger unleashed a flurry of razor-sharp ice blades from beneath its claws.
