040 A Spirit Beast’s Great Aunt
When Qin Ren and Luo Yao got up, classmate Yu Yourong, who was meditating and doing breathing exercises on the balcony, also heard some commotion.
It was just that her internal energy was circulating in a minor heavenly cycle, and it wasn’t good to interrupt, so she didn’t pay too much attention.
And just from the sound of crying, she thought it was Qin Ren pinching her cheeks too hard.
Or maybe he was just spanking her as a lesson.
If that was the case, it would be very normal.
After all, since the Pixiu now called herself the Guardian Spirit Beast, she had to act like one. She couldn’t be as willful as she was in the Flowing Cloud Sect. If she did something wrong or was disobedient, she had to be spanked.
She remembered when her master lost her sword, Yu Yourong had also spanked her as a lesson.
She had lost her sword and was afraid of being scolded, so she secretly went down the mountain to look for it for several days. When she came back, she was covered in mud, and she was the one who felt wronged, complaining like a shrew that her disciple hadn’t looked for it with her. This made Yu Yourong, who was in the middle of breaking through to the Nascent Soul realm, so angry that she immediately used a “Flood Dragon Probes the Sea,” grabbed her, held her across her lap, and then gave her a good spanking.
Of course, she was her master, after all. After the spanking, she still had to apologize, and if she had to stand in the corner of the training grounds as punishment, she would. The respectful and devoted classmate Yu Yourong would honestly accept her punishment, but she would still dare to do it again next time.
“Yourong, watch the house. I’m going out with Luo Yao for a bit.”
Qin Ren didn’t have work today, but he was going out early in the morning. Only then did Yu Yourong realize that Luo Yao’s situation was not as simple as just being spanked.
“Ge, what’s wrong with Luo Yao?”
“Her, she’s actually…”
“Don’t tell Little Fish!”
Luo Yao ran over and jumped up and down to cover Qin Ren’s mouth. Her fingers tickled his chin, so he didn’t go into detail and just vaguely said it was a “personal physical issue.”
“Personal physical…”
Then Yu Yourong didn’t ask any more. Putting herself in her shoes, she also had “personal physical issues,” like how her reverse scale would feel strange when her brother touched it. It was indeed not something to be discussed with others.
———————
Qin Ren went out and came back not long after, holding two bags of things.
Yu Yourong, who was studying a map in the living room, looked up. She could only make out that one bag said “day use” and the other said “night use.” She didn’t know what they were for.
She didn’t know, and Luo Yao didn’t know either.
It wasn’t until Qin Ren took out a thin, cotton pad-like thing that Luo Yao roughly understood it was to stop her bleeding. But she was very resistant.
“No! Such a big band-aid, it must hurt a lot when you tear it off!”
“Aiya, you don’t have to tear it off. It’s not used like that.”
Qin Ren couldn’t possibly help her personally. He had to let Luo Yao learn on her own, especially since she hadn’t run around the house naked in a long time. Qin Ren really couldn’t bring himself to touch a Spirit Beast’s secret garden. So he first took out a pair of little panties to demonstrate.
“First, tear it open here, then stick it here like this. These two little wings stick to the back…”
After explaining, Qin Ren went out first, letting her figure it out slowly. He first scrubbed the blood-stained pair she had changed out of and hung them up to dry. When he returned to the bedroom, he saw Luo Yao leaning against the head of the bed like a doll, wiggling her bottom from time to time.
“How is it?”
“It’s a little strange… Qin Ren, will this really stop the bleeding?”
“It will. But try not to run and jump too much these days.”
“This eminence knows. I have to be demure.”
Luo Yao nodded, then immediately, very undemurely, lifted her little skirt and pressed on it, her expression a little gloomy.
“What’s wrong?” Qin Ren thought to himself, could it be that a Spirit Beast’s great aunt also affects their mood?
“It’s just…”
Luo Yao tugged at the pillowcase, not in the mood to be shy anymore.
“The new pair I bought, I washed it before I could show you…”
“…”
So it was about that. Luo Yao was obsessed with showing off her so-called “very domineering” little panties. But Qin Ren had just seen them and didn’t think they were that domineering.
“Isn’t it just a little whale drawn on it?”
“It’s not a little whale!”
Luo Yao clenched her little fists and argued resentfully.
“It’s a Kun, da!”
The Kun was very domineering, fitting for the temperament of a Spirit Beast. Luo Yao immediately set a rule for Qin Ren on the spot. From now on, he was not allowed to buy her those childish styles with little strawberries and little apples. He must strictly follow the “domineering” standard.
“Besides the Kun, the Peng is also okay.”
Luo Yao counted on her fingers.
“And the Vermilion Bird, the Black Tortoise, the Azure Dragon, the White Tiger, and the like, are also acceptable.”
“Alright.”
Qin Ren didn’t argue with a girl on her period and readily agreed.
Isn’t it just little birds, little chickens, little turtles, caterpillars, and little kittens?
Qin Ren didn’t have to do it himself. Yu Yourong now knew how to use Taobao. He could just ask her to help find some.
…
But that was for later. As they were talking, Luo Yao clutched her little stomach again, her brows furrowed in urgency, and a delicate, cloying whimper came from her nose.
“Stomach hurts again?” Qin Ren asked softly.
“Mhm.” Luo Yao nodded with teary eyes, extending her little hands and nudging into Qin Ren’s arms, wanting to be coddled.
“Serves you right for hiding it from me yesterday and drinking so much iced Coke…”
“I can’t drink Coke?” Luo Yao was shocked. Not only did her stomach hurt, but her heart also started to ache.
“You can’t drink it iced. You can drink it boiled.”
Is boiled Coke still called Coke?
Luo Yao wasn’t sure. As long as it was Coke, it was fine.
“Then boil it for me now.”
“I’ll boil you…”
“Then you have to boil me with Coke.”
“…”
Qin Ren couldn’t win against this kid, who kept shaking his arm. He really went to the kitchen and started to mess around.
Boiled Coke. Luo Yao had never had it, but Qin Ren had.
When he was a child, it was cold during the New Year, and the orphanage organized everyone to eat hot pot. At that time, many hot pot restaurants would boil Coke with ginger slices for the customers. He didn’t think it tasted that bad back then. Just having Coke was satisfying enough. Qin Ren would often give his own cup to Gu Qing, treating it like a treasure.
Now that Luo Yao’s stomach hurt, Qin Ren didn’t dare to randomly give her painkillers like ibuprofen. The brown sugar that was usually kept at home had also been taken to school by Gu Qing. Boiling Coke with ginger slices, Qin Ren felt, could really be a substitute for brown sugar water.
They both have sugar, and they both have ginger.
Plus, the dark red color could also psychologically trick the Pixiu into thinking it was for replenishing blood or something.
So, Qin Ren boiled a small pot of ginger Coke. Before giving it to Luo Yao, he tasted it himself. It had the taste of his childhood. Then he let Yu Yourong have a taste too.
“How is it?”
“It feels… not as good as milk tea.”
Qin Ren understood. Milk tea to Yu Yourong was like Coke to Luo Yao, and Ganges water to an Indian.
It was just that Yu Yourong wasn’t as dependent on it.
She liked milk tea, but she didn’t say it, and never actively asked Qin Ren for it.
Speaking of which, Yu Yourong hadn’t had milk tea in a long time. So Qin Ren kept this in mind and bought her a steaming hot cup of pearl milk tea that night.
“Thank you, Gege!”
The snake clan girl rarely showed such obvious happiness. A small cup of milk tea was like a treasure. She sat down at the coffee table and sipped it in small sips. Every time her throat moved, her eyes would squint like a cat’s. She looked very happy.
So satisfied with just one cup of milk tea. She really is easy to raise…
Qin Ren lamented inwardly, but he couldn’t get complacent because of this. He still had to generate income on the economic front. So after contacting Zhou Chi, he officially started to take on the freelance work from the Southeast Institute.
