Chapter 132: Not as Good as Senior Sister
Mingyan felt a bit embarrassed but didn’t let go of his master. He held her even tighter.
His senior sister was his senior sister, and he was himself.
“I like holding Master tightly. It makes me feel secure and at ease,” he whispered.
“You’re like a child who hasn’t grown up.” Yue Qingying lay with her back to him, motionless, her cold voice unchanged.
“I’m not even seventeen yet,” Mingyan blinked.
“…Since you’ve been to the Yaochi Sacred Land, how is your relationship with Ning Feixuan progressing?”
“Not much progress…” He shook his head.
“If you don’t see any hope, then give up,” Yue Wu Xia said softly.
“It’s not that I don’t see any hope.” He paused. “It’s just that she’s preoccupied with other things and isn’t considering these matters. Perhaps after those things are settled, she’ll have time for other things.”
Yue Wu Xia didn’t say anything more.
They were silent. Mingyan didn’t speak either. He was captivated by his master’s scent. How could it be so wonderful? It was intoxicating.
After a long while, Yue Wu Xia spoke. “Do you have any feelings for your senior sister?”
Mingyan paused. “Master, I don’t understand what you mean.”
“Do you have romantic feelings for your senior sister?” This time, her question was clearer. Mingyan opened his mouth, then said, “Why do you ask, Master?”
“Because I want to know,” she said calmly.
“No… Senior Sister is very good to me. How could I have romantic feelings for her? Besides…”
“Besides, you have feelings for Ning Feixuan?”
“Yes.”
“Ning Feixuan is indeed a good person, but your senior sister is more suitable for you. Ning Feixuan is not. If you want to be with her, there will be many obstacles.” His master’s voice was cold, but it was like a clear spring, and the more he listened, the more captivated he became.
There was nothing about his master that wasn’t captivating.
He buried his head in her hair, his lips brushing against the smooth skin of her neck. She didn’t move, didn’t react, didn’t reprimand him.
“Have you ever liked anyone, Master?” he asked curiously.
“…As your master, can’t I guide you even if I’ve never had romantic feelings for anyone?” she said after a moment.
“That’s not what I mean… I just thought that if you had experience, you could teach me.” He quickly corrected himself, although deep down, he didn’t want his master to have such experience.
Was he being too possessive? She was his master, not an object of his affection like Ning Feixuan.
“…Ning Feixuan’s personality is such that cultivation is her top priority. The matters you mentioned, they’re about her parents, right? Even if she resolves that, are you sure she’ll develop feelings for you? And even if she does, can she compare to your senior sister? Your senior sister is a better match for you. And you’re already senior and junior siblings. It’s a natural progression. The Wind Spirit and Moon Shadow Scriptures you cultivate complement each other. You’re a perfect match. You know your senior sister’s personality. She’s very good to you. Marrying her is a better choice than Ning Feixuan, isn’t it?”
“…Senior Sister is good, but I don’t have those kinds of feelings for her. And she doesn’t have any romantic feelings for me either. Master, please don’t say such things. If Senior Sister hears this, she’ll misunderstand.” Mingyan shook his head. If his senior sister misunderstood his feelings, she would likely distance herself from him.
Yue Wu Xia was silent for a moment, then said, “What about me? Do you have any romantic feelings for me?”
Mingyan’s heart leaped. He quickly said, “Absolutely not, Master. Please don’t misunderstand…”
Yue Wu Xia hummed in acknowledgement, then asked, “Then what are your feelings for me?”
“This… it’s complicated. You’re very good to me, Master. Of course I respect you greatly.” Seeing she wasn’t suspicious, he relaxed. If his master thought he had improper intentions, that would be disastrous.
She would likely never let him get close to her again.
“Only respect?”
“Perhaps there are some other feelings mixed in. I’ve said it before. You feel like a mother to me… I like being with you, Master. I even get a little lost in it.” He pursed his lips. “But you don’t have to worry, Master. I have no impure thoughts about you.”
“Hmm… let go of your hand,” she said softly.
He was stunned, his heart filled with anxiety. Did she not believe him? He hesitated, then released her.
She turned to face him.
Seeing her turn, he felt a faint pressure. Looking at her cold and aloof face, he felt slightly constrained and didn’t dare to embrace her again.
“Of course I know you don’t have any impure thoughts about me. Otherwise, would I allow you to get so close?” Her lips parted slightly, her breath fragrant. It was a sweet, intoxicating scent. He found himself a bit thirsty. He quickly bit his lip. Was he going crazy?
“Master, it’s good… that you trust me,” he nodded.
“Your real mother is likely still alive, but it’s very difficult to see her.”
The Human King Physique had a mother, although not in the traditional sense. Mingyan wasn’t born from her womb but was formed from her blood. She was a mother, yet not a mother. It all depended on whether the first Human King Physique acknowledged him.
Mingyan had told Yue Wu Xia about Wang Qingchu and their mother, so she knew.
“If you want to see me as a mother, then so be it. Although I don’t think I’m very motherly.” Yue Wu Xia thought of her own mother and felt she was a far cry from her. Her mother had been gentle, peaceful, and incredibly tolerant, yet she had also never forgotten to guide her. She was her mother, and also her teacher.
How could anyone see her as a mother? Yue Wu Xia was also a bit puzzled.
Hearing this, Mingyan relaxed and, mustering his courage, embraced her again, holding her tightly. He felt his body grow warm. He quickly loosened his grip. No, he couldn’t hold her so tightly…
