One roasted Spirit-Tail Chicken was very plump, and between Deng Tianyu and Ning Wan, they could only finish one before feeling full.
Of course, the remaining few chickens wouldn’t go to waste, because there were two big eaters—a girl and a fox—ready to clean up.
At the stone table, the big loli was eating heartily, her mouth slick with grease. She directly pulled a bamboo tube of Papaya Juice from her Storage Ring and contentedly poured herself a cup.
“Mmm… burp!”
As the fragrant, sweet juice went down, Li Shishi squinted her big eyes and let out a satisfied burp. In this moment, she felt that if life could always be like this, she would be utterly content.
“Yingying!”
The little white fox tugged at her clothes with a furry paw, signaling for her to pour a cup.
Li Shishi’s gaze lingered on the fox’s chest. She said irritably, “You don’t even have breasts, what are you drinking Papaya Juice for?”
That’s what she said, but she still poured a cup for Yingying.
“Slurp…”
The little white fox extended her pink tongue for a lick and found the taste quite agreeable. Paired with the roast chicken, it offered an indescribable enjoyment.
After reminding the girl and fox duo to clean up, Ning Wan left the back mountain and headed to the sect’s Council Pavilion. Because the trial run of “Unyielding Devotion” had been successful today, they needed to start selling these Dharma Robes at the Moonlit Pavilions in various cities of Youzhou. The quantity to be distributed was the main topic of this meeting.
Deng Tianyu also returned to his room, planning a proper bath.
Watching her Senior Brother’s departing back, the big loli Li Shishi’s black-and-white eyes swiveled before settling on the little fox, who was still buried headfirst in food.
“Shizun went to the Council Pavilion, won’t be back for a while.”
“That silly fox Yingying, being so gluttonous makes her easy to deal with.”
“So tonight, it’ll just be me and Senior Brother… Awesome!”
A thought seemed to strike her, and her pretty face flushed slightly. A strange, silly smile curved on her lips. She squeezed her legs, wrapped in white stockings, together.
Immediately, Li Shishi put on a serious face and feigned concern: “Yingying, is the Papaya Juice good?”
The little fox didn’t even raise her head, but the furry, snow-white tail behind her wagged happily a few times, clearly indicating she found it tasty.
“There’s something even better. Want some?”
Li Shishi stowed the Papaya Juice in her Storage Ring and took out a tube of Peach Blossom Wine, opening it.
Instantly, a mellow, pure aroma of wine wafted out, making the little white fox’s pink nose twitch.
Joyfully scheming inside, Li Shishi coaxed, “Shall I pour you a cup?”
“Yingying!” The little fox finally couldn’t resist the temptation and nodded eagerly.
“I can’t finish the rest of this roast chicken. It’s all yours. Remember, no wasting.”
“The Peach Blossom Wine is here. Help yourself, Yingying.”
After pouring the little fox a cup of Peach Blossom Wine, the big loli pushed the roast chicken, still resting on two large lotus leaves, over to Yingying.
Although it was strange that Li Shishi was being so generous—completely unlike her usual self when fighting over food—the incredibly gluttonous Yingying didn’t think much of it.
“Enjoy your meal, Yingying. I’m going to cultivate!”
Seeing that the silly fox had taken the bait, Li Shishi patted her fluffy little head and left the courtyard, heading straight for Deng Tianyu’s room.
Thump, thump…
“Senior Brother, I need your help with something.”
With an excited heart, Li Shishi knocked on the door.
Creak!
“Help with what?”
The door opened. Deng Tianyu, who had been just about to bathe, asked, a bit puzzled.
Li Shishi entered the room, conveniently closing the door behind her. Then, looking down at her toes, she shyly and somewhat hopefully whispered: “Senior Brother, I wanted you to take a look… the little suckling pigs, have they… grown?”
“Little suckling pigs?” Deng Tianyu’s expression turned strange.
“Yes! Senior Brother, look, have they grown or not?” Li Shishi stood on her tiptoes, her eyes full of hope.
Deng Tianyu visually assessed and answered very solemnly: “They’ve grown!”
“Then how much bigger do they need to be before Senior Brother can’t resist?”
“Can’t resist what?”
“Can’t resist Dual Cultivating with me!”
“What nonsense is going through that little head of yours?”
“Do you even know what Dual Cultivation is?”
Deng Tianyu lightly rapped her on the forehead, looking utterly between laughter and tears. He hadn’t expected his normally silly and cute Junior Sister to say something like that.
“Ow… that hurts!”
“My head’s injured, Senior Brother. I can’t leave tonight.”
Clutching her forehead and pretending to be hurt, Li Shishi directly kicked off her Embroidered Shoes. Like a flexible earthworm, she nimbly burrowed into his bed.
“Huff… huff…”
“It smells like Senior Brother. Ehehe!”
Sniffing the scent belonging to Deng Tianyu in the quilt, Li Shishi rolled around—left, right, left, right—under the covers. Her pretty face was flushed crimson.
Her sole purpose in coming here tonight was this: she wasn’t leaving!
“Shishi, what are you doing burrowing into my bed?” Deng Tianyu tried helplessly to pull her out.
What did she mean, her head hurt and was injured? It was just a light tap. He hadn’t even used any force!
“Mwuh… Mwuh…”
“I can’t come out. Senior Brother’s blanket says it doesn’t want to let me out.”
Li Shishi had fully transformed into a blanket monster, only her delicate, oval face peeking out.
“You really won’t come out?” Deng Tianyu’s face was expressionless.
“It’s not that I don’t want to, Senior Brother’s blanket won’t let me.”
Li Shishi opened her cute, big eyes wide, looking very innocent. This was something she’d learned from a book called “The Overbearing Senior Brother Falls in Love with Me.” If she just acted pitiful enough, her Senior Brother would be helpless and affectionately say: Good girl, Shimei, you can sleep here tonight!
Unfortunately, in the next instant, Li Shishi’s composure shattered. Deng Tianyu grabbed her adorable, white-stocking-clad feet and began tickling them mercilessly.
“Mwuh… Senior Brother… teehee!”
“How can you… do this… teehee!”
Instantly, Li Shishi’s body trembled, her face flushed bright red, and she shook all over with laughter. Her legs kicked wildly, trying to break free from Deng Tianyu’s grip, but it was impossible.
That ticklish sensation, mixed with a slight numbness, caused an inexplicable, restless heat to steadily grow within her. Li Shishi was now very conflicted. She wanted her Senior Brother to let go of her feet, yet also didn’t want him to.
Fortunately, Deng Tianyu soon stopped. With a half-smile, he asked, “Coming out now?”
“No energy left… I’ve been played with until I’m broken!”
Li Shishi’s face was flushed with intoxication, her beautiful eyes seemingly misted over. She felt limp, sore, and utterly powerless.
Deng Tianyu’s mouth twitched. He didn’t know how to respond to that. What did she mean, “played with until broken”? What kind of dangerous talk was that? What had he even done? Just some tickling, right?
Creak!
At that very moment, the door was pushed open once more.
A seductive figure in a pale purple, elegant Cheongsam, stepping on High Heels, walked in.
“Shishi, what are you doing burrowing into Tianyu’s bed?”
Whoosh!
Upon hearing this voice, Li Shishi’s first reaction was as if struck by lightning. She instantly sobered up and even more instantly cast “Rosy Light Shadow Glimpse.” Abandoning even her Embroidered Shoes, she shot outward.
Her speed was so great it created a gust of wind. But Ning Wan merely reached out and pointed, and a True Essence Greater Hand Seal seized her firmly.
