Chapter 42: I Thought of You as a Big Brother, but You Covet My Body!
“Mhm, as long as we’re willing, we can be together forever!”
“Then pinky swear with me. You’re not allowed to go back on your word in the future!”
By the bonfire, Su Lingxi extended her pinky, and Luo Chuxue smiled as she hooked her finger around it.
“Hey, when did you break through to the Golden Core realm?”
Luo Chuxue pressed against Su Lingxi’s neck and asked softly.
“Uh… some time ago. Actually, I was about to break through when I first met Senior Sister.”
Su Lingxi sat up a little unnaturally. She had clearly broken through right in front of Luo Chuxue.
“Oh… Little Lingxi, why don’t you ask me when I broke through?”
“Then… Senior Sister, when did you break through?”
“Little Lingxi, you’re so perfunctory. If I don’t remind you, you won’t ask?”
“I…”
Seeing Su Lingxi’s embarrassed look, Luo Chuxue couldn’t help but laugh.
“Senior Sister, stop teasing me. When we first met, weren’t you already at the peak of the Golden Core realm?”
“Isn’t it just a matter of time?” Su Lingxi muttered.
“Alright, don’t mind that. But with your strength, entering the inner court is already a sure thing.”
“It’ll be about another month and a half. At that time, there will be a test for spirit gates and overall cultivation.”
“If you live in the inner court, it will be much more convenient for me to find you.”
Su Lingxi nodded. She still had to go to the inner court. After all, the Ice Heart Art was very much worth obtaining.
But what Su Lingxi didn’t know was that when she had broken through in front of Luo Chuxue that day, she had already exposed her spirit gates.
Cultivators generally don’t know what’s happening in the outside world during a breakthrough, so she had no idea that she had exposed herself.
This also laid the groundwork for the future.
“Alright, I should go back. The sky is already bright.”
Luo Chuxue got up and looked outside the door. Some light was already shining in.
Su Lingxi yawned, also feeling a little sleepy. Logically, after reaching the Golden Core realm, eating and sleeping were no longer very necessary.
But she was a sleeping tiger. She couldn’t stand missing a day of sleep.
“You’re sleepy. You can sleep after I leave!” Luo Chuxue pinched Su Lingxi’s sleepy face.
“Senior Sister, I’ll see you off.”
“Alright!”
Outside the room, Xiao Yun was getting water to brush his teeth. He heard the door to Su Lingxi’s room open and turned his head to say hello.
His eyelids twitched, and the water in his mouth spurted out. His eyes were fixed on Luo Chuxue and Su Lingxi’s intertwined hands.
I’m so done. How come another one came out of the room? Let me see who it is.
Holy crap? Luo… Luo Chuxue, is that the Sect Master’s only personal disciple?
No! Bro… you really have to teach me.
Hey, no… Xiao Yun repeatedly denied it in his heart, refreshing his perception over and over again.
Su Lingxi was startled, and her heart rate instantly rose. “It’s over. Big Brother Xiao, don’t say anything, please.”
Xiao Yun’s gaze moved up and met Su Lingxi’s pleading eyes. The two brothers’ eyes met, and they both understood.
“Senior Sister Luo, what are you…” Xiao Yun spoke first, his eyes showing an unprecedented surprise.
Luo Chuxue had a great influence in this sect, so Xiao Yun had immediately recognized her.
Luo Chuxue nodded slightly. “Hello, Big Brother Xiao. I’ve often heard Su Lingxi mention you.”
Holy crap… it’s exactly the same. Isn’t this what Sister Yuebai said?
It seems I’m very important in Su Lingxi’s heart, so much so that he’s mentioned my name to every one of his dao companions.
“Ahaha, it seems you two have finally gotten together.”
“And you, Su Lingxi, you didn’t even give me a hint.”
Xiao Yun’s face was all smiles. It seemed he was genuinely happy for Su Lingxi.
Luo Chuxue wasn’t embarrassed either. The people around Su Lingxi would find out sooner or later, and she didn’t plan to hide their relationship.
“Mhm, Lingxi and I are in love. I hope Big Brother Xiao will bless us!”
Luo Chuxue held one of the highest statuses in this Snowfall Sect, but she treated everyone equally.
Xiao Yun was very happy for Su Lingxi to have found a dao companion like Luo Chuxue.
It’s just… what about Sister Yuebai?
“Hahaha, of course. Su Lingxi is really lucky. We’ll see you off together.”
After Luo Chuxue left, Xiao Yun gave Su Lingxi a thumbs-up.
“From today on, you’re my big brother!”
“Last time, it was Sister Yuebai from the inner court. This time, even Senior Sister Luo has entered your room.”
“Next time, even if the Sect Master comes out of your room, I won’t be surprised.”
Xiao Yun then burst out laughing. He was even happier than Su Lingxi.
He wished he could go out and spread the word everywhere. Look how awesome my brother is. He even brought back the Sect Master’s personal disciple.
This personal disciple was no small matter. She was also the Canglan Prin…
“Holy crap? Wait a minute…”
Xiao Yun turned his head and looked at Su Lingxi as if he were looking at a monster. “So you’re saying you brought the Canglan Princess into your room…”
At this thought, Xiao Yun felt that no words could describe his feelings.
This feeling was as exciting as winning fifty million in the lottery with his good brother.
“Brother, the Canglan imperial family’s importance to this little princess might be beyond your imagination.”
“Although I don’t know how you got past Luo Yunxuan, I still have to give you a word of advice. If you can’t handle it, then you should retreat completely!”
Xiao Yun’s every word was sincere. Although these words sounded a bit unreliable, they were indeed his heartfelt words.
“Thank you, Big Brother Xiao. I understand.” Su Lingxi nodded thoughtfully.
Xiao Yun then thought of the Su Yuebai he had seen that morning. “Young Su, it’s not that I’m criticizing you. Although it’s great that our Senior Sister Luo is your dao companion, the problem is that you already have Sister Yuebai. Don’t you think you’re making a mess of things!”
Xiao Yun sighed, as if he were the one who had to make the choice.
Su Lingxi didn’t know what to say. She felt that some things were really just her shooting herself in the foot.
“Tell me, what were you thinking, huh?” Xiao Yun asked.
Su Lingxi shook her head. “I don’t know…”
“What? You don’t know? Aiyo, what a good girl Yuebai is.”
Xiao Yun was so angry he slapped his thigh. It was truly a case of the rich getting richer and the poor getting poorer.
He recalled Sister Yuebai’s shyness that day, and her deep affection for Su Lingxi.
“I’m so angry, wuwuwu.” The more Xiao Yun thought about it, the more unhappy he became. Why were there such unfair things in the world?
Su Lingxi was too tired to explain. She had originally planned to explain her identity to Xiao Yun before leaving, but it was clearly not the right time now.
“Big Brother Xiao, don’t be like that. Maybe I have a way to make them live in peace?”
“What, you want to have your cake and eat it too?”
Xiao Yun’s eyes widened, and he shook his head vigorously. “No! Absolutely not!”
“Sister Yuebai must be very sad right now. Tell me where she is, and I’ll go and comfort her.”
“If it really doesn’t work out, you can tell her that I’m actually quite fond of her. Why don’t you let her consider me? I’ll be good to her!”
Xiao Yun rambled on and on. Su Lingxi’s face was full of black lines, and she wished she could disappear from this place immediately.
“I thought of you as a big brother, but you covet my body!!!”
