The Junior Sister Isn't Flirtatious At All; It's All Their Fault for Being Too Seductive - Chapter 88

“How are his injuries?” Jiang Luoyue asked with a hint of concern as she stood behind Li Changting.

“With me here, you can rest easy. It’s nothing serious; he should wake up in two or three days,” Li Changting replied with a smile, though it carried a trace of bitterness.

He was never one to fight for her favor; usually, it was Jiang Luoyue who took the initiative to seek him out. He was deeply grateful that his Junior Sister “kept the bowl level” and treated everyone fairly. Otherwise, given the constant, subtle sidelining from the other men, he didn’t know how many days it would take before he could even get close to her.

Jiang Luoyue did not notice the change in his expression. Once she was certain the youth was out of danger, she left the room.

Nearby, Fuxia and Wan’er were crouching on the ground, playing. Jiang Luoyue leaned over to join them.

“Sister, I want a puppy!” Fuxia cried, throwing herself into Jiang Luoyue’s arms.

Fuxia and Wan’er had been envious of the neighbors’ dog for a long time. Whenever they played together, the neighborhood children would always show off their pet, leaving the two of them dying of jealousy.

“Sister, a big doggy!” Seeing that Jiang Luoyue didn’t agree immediately, Fuxia grabbed her arm and gave it a persistent shake.

“Alright, alright, alright,” Jiang Luoyue relented. Seeing that adorable, pleading face, how could she possibly say no? Besides, raising a small puppy was no trouble at all.

Their group had appeared in the mortal realm quite suddenly. Whenever a neighbor faced unusual trouble, they would step in to help. Over time, the locals realized they were cultivators. While the neighbors were respectful, they were also cautious and didn’t dare get too close. Only the children truly managed to bond and play together.

Lin Xi offered to take them to buy the dog. “I am a fox; I know animals best. I can tell a good dog from a bad one with a single glance.”

Jiang Luoyue laughed and rubbed his ears, even giving them a playful squeeze. The little fox’s furry ears felt incredibly soft to the touch.

Thus, Lin Xi secured the chance to go out with Jiang Luoyue. Although they were bringing two children along, he chose to simply ignore their presence.

When they arrived at the breeder, the puppies rushed forward enthusiastically, sniffing around their feet. Of course, there were also those sleeping soundly and a few silly ones just staring off into the distance.

Fuxia reached out to pet a sleeping puppy. Even though it was being disturbed, the pup didn’t get angry; it simply opened its eyes, glanced at her, and went back to sleep. Its paws were soft, its ears were soft—everything about it was soft and fluffy.

“Does Fuxia like this one?” Jiang Luoyue asked, leaning down as she noticed Fuxia’s lingering attention.

Fuxia knitted her small brows, looking hesitant. “I don’t know how to choose. I’ll listen to Brother Lin Xi.”

“Wan’er, which one do you want?” Jiang Luoyue didn’t overlook the boy and asked him patiently.

Wan’er gave a dim-witted, honest smile. “I’ll follow whatever Sister Fuxia wants.”

Lin Xi surveyed the pups. Dogs were loyal creatures; though they couldn’t speak and were somewhat simple-minded, their devotion to a master was unwavering. After looking through the pack, he chose a puppy with a steady temperament and a good personality. He rejected the ones that were too hyperactive or jumping around—those were far too noisy.

Fuxia struggled to carry the fluffy pup, which responded by enthusiastically licking her face. She giggled uncontrollably. “Puppy, stop licking!”

Perhaps sensing it had found its owner, the dog became very excited, its tail wagging so fast that Fuxia almost lost her grip. Wan’er reached out to help, but Fuxia refused. “No, I want to carry the puppy myself.”

Seeing that Fuxia was inseparable from the dog, Wan’er didn’t insist and simply reached out to pat its furry head.

“Alright, let’s head back,” Jiang Luoyue said with a smile, patting Fuxia’s head.

Upon returning home, Fuxia wanted nothing more than to eat and sleep with the puppy, and Wan’er was just as attached.

“Sister Luoyue is always being hogged by the brothers,” Fuxia muttered petulantly.

She was currently sitting by the bed of the injured young cultivator, cradling her puppy. The dog was quiet and well-behaved; it let out a yawn and soon fell asleep in her arms.

Brother Li Changting had left some medicinal pills nearby and instructed Fuxia to feed the boy one every two hours. Just as Fuxia was calculating the time for the next dose, the youth’s eyelashes fluttered, and he opened his eyes.

The youth’s consciousness was still a bit hazy. He only vaguely remembered a Daoist friend who looked like a fairy—her features clear and elegant, with eyes that seemed full of warmth. Just the thought of her made him blush.

Fuxia saw the boy’s face turn red and his expression go blank. Her good mood at his awakening instantly turned into alarm.

“Brother Changting! This big brother has turned into an idiot!”

Fuxia’s shout snapped the youth back to reality.

“Um… who are you?” the youth asked, confused.

“I should be asking you that!” Fuxia frowned, clutching her puppy. “My Sister saved you. You need to say thank you.”

Realizing this was the sister of his savior, the youth quickly performed a formal bow. “My name is Lu Yuan. Little sister, where is your older sister?”

Hearing Fuxia’s voice, Li Changting hurried over, with Jiang Luoyue following close behind.

“You’re awake?” Jiang Luoyue’s expression was gentle yet composed.

Lu Yuan looked at her and felt shy again, the tips of his ears turning crimson.

“It was just time for his medicine. Fuxia, did you feed him yet?” Li Changting patted Fuxia’s head before checking Lu Yuan’s pulse.

Fuxia answered obediently, “Not yet. He woke up first.”

Li Changting nodded. “The dosage was just right; his recovery is going well.”

“Thank you, Daoist friends, for your help,” Lu Yuan said, bowing. “I will keep this debt of gratitude in my heart, but… I have nothing of value to give you.”

He could see their strength was extraordinary. As a mere Foundation Establishment cultivator, he knew he couldn’t produce anything that would interest them, which filled him with self-reproach.

“That’s not important. It’s enough that you’re alright,” Jiang Luoyue dismissed his concerns, pointing to the storage bag by the bed. “Keep your things safe. I imagine you’ll be needing them.”

Lu Yuan didn’t know how to describe the emotions swirling in his heart. Seeing that he was fine, Jiang Luoyue turned to leave.

Lu Yuan’s eyes reddened. He knew that at this moment, he had to cast aside his pride and beg for help. He threw off the covers and fell to his knees with a heavy thud.

“Benefactor, I have one more request! If you are willing to help, I will be eternally grateful. If you are not, I will not force the issue.”

Jiang Luoyue paused and looked back at him. The youth remained kneeling, his head bowed low. Li Changting looked at Jiang Luoyue, feeling a bit helpless.

Lu Yuan was dressed in white, which made his frame look particularly slight, yet his back remained ramrod straight as he knelt.

“Get up,” Jiang Luoyue said calmly. “Clean yourself up and come out for dinner. We can talk in detail at the table.”

Upon hearing her response, Lu Yuan’s head snapped up. “Thank you, Benefactor! Thank you!”

At the dinner table, Lu Yuan was startled to see so many men.

“Sit down,” Jiang Luoxing said, glancing at him with a look of pure annoyance.

Lu Yuan couldn’t understand why these men were looking at him with such hostility. He sat down cautiously, feeling completely out of place.

Fuxia, however, was not one for ceremony. Before everyone was even seated, she snatched up a chicken wing. She particularly loved the wings Jiang Luoxing made—they were fragrant, tender, and juicy. But a chicken only has two wings.

She dutifully placed the second wing into Jiang Luoyue’s bowl.

The rule of this household was simple: the best food went to Jiang Luoyue first, followed by the little darling, Fuxia.
