Chapter 118: A Heart Gradually Changing
“Ah, I’m sorry. I was just trying to protect you. It was subconscious…”
Xiao Wu saw Su Yan’s cheek was distorted and, realizing her actions were improper, quickly tried to explain.
“No need to explain. I understand everything.”
Su Yan covered her soft lips with his fingers. In a moment of danger, her first reaction was to protect him. How could he bear to blame such an Eldest Senior Sister!
Feeling the soft touch on his lips, Su Yan’s tender fingers… it was the first time he had been so intimate with her. It made Xiao Wu’s heart pound. She wanted to open her mouth and lick his pale fingers, but….
“I can’t. Licking my junior brother in public is too shameful. It’s just like a pervert.”
Xiao Wu forcefully suppressed the throbbing in her heart. Only then did she have time to look at the culprit of everything.
“She’s actually so powerful!”
Su Yan looked at the battlefield before him, his mouth agape in surprise.
In his impression, the Joyful Union Sect was just a pleasure house in the cultivation world, fond of bullying the few with the many, and their strength was so-so. But this black-clothed woman who had abducted him was actually not at a disadvantage while facing numerous disciples at the same time.
“She’s like a goddess of war!”
Su Yan muttered to himself. However, as soon as his voice fell, Zhao Yuan’er, who had been struggling to hold on, seemed to have suffered a dimensional reduction strike.
Her spiritual energy could no longer keep up, and her mental strength was close to being depleted. She finally couldn’t hold on any longer. Her protective spiritual energy was pierced by a sword, and a sword pierced through her lower abdomen. Just as the next sword was about to pierce her chest…
“Don’t kill her! I still have use for her!”
The elder in the green dress suddenly said. Of course, she was not being merciful. By leaving the Joyful Union Sect woman alive, she might be able to dig some information out of her. When her value was completely squeezed out, it would not be too late to make a move then.
Hearing this, the female disciples quickly sheathed their swords. But to let her go just like that was too easy.
“How dare you abduct Junior Brother Su! This is our shame! She has committed an unforgivable crime! Beat her hard!”
A female disciple said loudly. The elder had said not to kill her, but she hadn’t said not to beat her. Anyway, as long as she was left with a breath, it would be fine.
And so, Su Yan witnessed an inhumane scene.
The black-clothed woman, who had just been charming and alluring, was now being beaten by a group of female cultivators. She was beaten so badly that her nose was bruised and her face was swollen. She had no face to see anyone.
“Hmph! This is the consequence of having designs on you!”
Xiao Wu gritted her teeth and said coldly. If it weren’t for the need to protect her little junior brother, she would have wanted to go down and give this person a few hard kicks herself. To not have made a move herself was letting her off too easy!
Su Yan didn’t speak. Although he felt that the black-clothed woman being beaten was very pitiful, thinking of her previous actions, he had no sympathy.
“Are you alright, Junior Brother?”
“Senior Brother!”
Ling Ling and Lin Qingyue arrived late. They had also joined the battlefield just now and had kicked her a few times, feeling very relieved.
“I’m fine, just a little tired.”
Su Yan saw the two of them and said, holding his head.
He had experienced too much in one night. His spirit was a little tired, and he really wanted to rest.
“If you’re tired, then go back. I’ll take you.”
Xiao Wu said gently, helping him walk into the flying ship.
Returning to the room, Su Yan’s heart trembled when he saw the messy bed. It was here that he had been hijacked by the woman. It was inevitable that he would have some psychological shadow.
Xiao Wu noticed his abnormality and, after a little thought, understood the situation.
“If you don’t want to sleep here, Junior Brother, then go to my room. I’ll stand guard outside the door. You can sleep peacefully.”
“How can I do that?”
“There’s nothing to be embarrassed about. I’m the Eldest Senior Sister. It’s my duty to take care of you. Besides, after all this, it’s almost dawn. It doesn’t matter if I sleep or not.”
Su Yan still wanted to be polite, but his body and spirit were too tired, so he did not continue to refuse her goodwill.
“Then I’ll have to trouble you, Senior Sister.”
Su Yan walked into Xiao Wu’s room, and she closed the door and went out.
With no one else around, Su Yan immediately relaxed a lot. He took a deep breath, and then a blush appeared on his face.
“Senior Sister Xiao Wu’s scent is so strong.”
A faint, elegant body fragrance… just smelling it made him feel at ease. Su Yan unconsciously came to the bed, lifted the covers, and gently lay down.
“The scent is even stronger here.”
The woman’s body fragrance made his face red and his heart beat fast. Sleeping on the bed she had once lain on made Su Yan feel very ashamed.
But after what had just happened, he no longer had the energy to think so much. Enveloped by Xiao Wu’s scent, an indescribable sense of security rose in Su Yan’s heart. He closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep.
***
Who knows how much time had passed, but Su Yan felt his body was warm. He opened his eyes to a vast expanse of white and couldn’t help but raise his hand to block the sunlight.
“Is it already daytime?”
Su Yan muttered to himself, remembering what had happened last night.
The black-clothed woman had trespassed into his chamber, and he had been abducted by her. Just as he was feeling desperate, Senior Sister Xiao Wu had descended from the sky and saved the helpless him.
“Senior Sister…”
Su Yan whispered, a strange light flashing in his eyes.
Because he was familiar with the plot, he had always kept his distance from Senior Sister Xiao Wu. But this time, she had saved him and had even shed tears for him.
Knowing the status of women in this world, he understood even more how rare this was. Why did she care so much about him?
“A senior sister protecting her junior brother? Is that all?”
Remembering Xiao Wu’s explanation last night, of course, Su Yan didn’t believe it. He was very clear that all of this was because his senior sister liked him, which was why she cared so much.
“She likes me, but what about me…”
Su Yan’s expression was complicated. They say a hero saving a beauty is the best way to win a heart. The reverse was also true. What Senior Sister Xiao Wu had done last night had left a deep impression on him.
Su Yan thought of himself as a common person, without the determination to pursue the immortal Dao. He only wanted a home, a wife who loved him deeply. Senior Sister Xiao Wu might be just right.
“She has a gentle personality and is very good to me. She seems to be a good choice.”
Because of the plot in the original work, Su Yan had always had a lump in his throat and had intentionally distanced himself from Xiao Wu. But now that he thought about it, the moment he had come to this world, the plot had already been changed beyond recognition. At most, it could only be used as a reference.
“Why should I care about those things? This is definitely a real world, not a book or a piece of text!”
Su Yan told himself this. He felt that he could try to get along with Senior Sister Xiao Wu. If the two of them could make it work, they could support each other in their future lives.
“If I get together with Senior Sister Xiao Wu, I will definitely not do anything to let her down.”
Su Yan knew his own nature. He was not a fickle man, so he would definitely not end up like in the original work. Perhaps the two of them would live very happily after marriage and have a blissful life from then on.
Under the sunlight, Su Yan thought a lot and contemplated a lot. A long time later, his thoughts finally returned to reality.
