After finishing the curvaceous, exquisite jade-smooth back, Deng Tianyu applied more Body Purifying Spirit Liquid and began massaging her fair, well-proportioned legs.
Those jade legs were beautifully sculpted, with firm, toned muscles and bones perfectly balanced, resembling a jade bow, while her ankles and shins were exceptionally slender and elegantly curved.
“Senior Brother~… that time you were away… what were you doing?”
Feeling that tingling, electric sensation, Li Shishi felt her cheeks and ears burning. A watery light shimmered in her beautiful eyes, and her voice was trembling.
Deng Tianyu answered, “I went to see an elder, to help her with some trouble.”
“An elder?” Li Shishi asked, puzzled, “Why haven’t you mentioned her before?”
According to the information she’d gotten from Yingying the little fox, the person her Senior Brother went to meet was a woman, and probably very beautiful at that.
But if she was an elder… wouldn’t that be like the type of relationship he had with Shizun?
“We just recently reconnected. She actually held me when I was a baby.”
Deng Tianyu smiled, holding her jade foot in his hand, grasping her slender, perfectly proportioned ankle. He then slid his grip down, cupping her smooth, rounded heel, which was like a peeled boiled goose egg.
The tender, water-smooth skin, as if dusted with powder, met his palm directly, causing a subtle, tingling, numbing sensation.
Compared to before—perhaps due to her transformation into her mature form—Li Shishi’s long legs and jade feet had changed.
Her long, graceful legs were even more toned and compact, with a sleek curve as smooth and tight as silk, extending all the way down to her crystalline ankles.
Her ten delicate toes no longer had that babyish plumpness but were arranged neatly and perfectly like flower petals, tightly curled together because of the massage.
“Mmh~ She held Senior Brother as a baby?”
“Then wouldn’t she be at least twelve years older than you?”
Li Shishi couldn’t help but ask.
Deng Tianyu nodded. “Probably about that.”
He generally didn’t ask women about their age.
Besides, this was the cultivation world, so age wasn’t all that important anyway.
Of course, Deng Tianyu wasn’t emphasizing some point; he was just stating a fact.
“Who is this elder? Can Senior Brother tell me?”
Joy filled Li Shishi’s heart, and the weight that had been hanging there for days was instantly lifted.
If she was an elder, and over twelve years older, then surely nothing improper would happen.
At most, it would be a feeling of respect from a junior to an elder, right?
Deng Tianyu didn’t hide it. “The Sect Master’s Wife of the Spirit Treasure Sect. I call her Aunt Rong.”
Shizun already knew about this, and Li Shishi would find out sooner or later anyway. There was no need for him to keep it a secret.
“The Sect Master’s Wife of the Spirit Treasure Sect… Qu Qirong?”
“Isn’t she one of the fairies on the Beauty Rankings?”
Li Shishi was stunned for a moment, then immediately caught on.
She had guessed the woman her Senior Brother went to see was probably quite pretty, but she hadn’t expected it to be a fairy from the Beauty Rankings.
Instinctively, a sense of crisis arose in her heart.
But it quickly faded when she remembered the person was her senior brother’s elder.
As an elder, she wouldn’t prey on a younger man, right?
And even if she had such thoughts, Senior Brother might not necessarily agree!
As if remembering something, Li Shishi muttered,
“No wonder Yingying came back looking fatter, with a Storage Ring hanging from her neck, occasionally pulling out snacks to show off.”
“Yingying is cute. Aunt Rong adores her. Basically, the whole time we were there, that little creature just lay around enjoying being fed treats.”
“When it was time to leave, she was all teary-eyed and almost didn’t want to come back.”
Deng Tianyu sighed slightly. It felt like the little fox had become a pampered pet belonging to a wealthy patron.
Of course, what was most astonishing was that at Xiaoxiang Elegant Garden, the little creature had somehow become the gang leader of several pets.
She’d occasionally stroll around with Bai Zhi, munch on Spirit Fruits when she was free, and even loved to tease Hongxue and Moxue.
“Senior Brother, can you… take the initiative to kiss me?”
Somewhere along the way, Li Shishi had been biting her lip, the watery shimmer in her beautiful eyes looking as if it were about to spill out.
She turned over and pounced on Deng Tianyu, staring intently at his face.
Thinking of that kiss today, coupled with the intimate atmosphere now, a strange expectation and longing welled up inside her.
Deng Tianyu was about to say something, but then he remembered he’d agreed today to be Li Shishi’s Dao Companion for a day. His lips moved a few times, but ultimately he said nothing.
Li Shishi pursed her alluring red lips. With a trembling voice, she asked word by word, “Please… can you, Senior Brother?”
Meeting her hopeful eyes, filled with an unusual emotion, Deng Tianyu didn’t speak. He just gently pressed his lips to her soft petals.
“Mmm…”
Li Shishi’s body trembled, her long, narrow eyelashes fluttering. Her snow-white, jade-like arms tightly wrapped around her senior brother’s neck as she responded clumsily.
She remembered this time. As soon as her pink, tender lips parted, her soft, wet, warm tongue proactively reached out, intently chasing after his tongue.
From the base to the surface, her tongue writhed stubbornly against his, their two tongues entwining, sucking and intertwining together, sharing sweet saliva.
Her mind felt completely blank; her whole being felt dazed.
In that moment, Li Shishi thought of nothing else; only the man before her existed in her eyes.
She had once read in a book that kissing someone you like brought a sweetness that seeped into the heart, rippled through the soul, and intoxicated you completely.
Li Shishi realized that was exactly her state right now.
When Deng Tianyu kissed her, she no longer wanted to let go; she wanted it to continue forever.
At this very moment, inside the Dharma Boat, candlelight flickered, casting two shadows merged tightly together. An atmosphere of romance and tenderness filled the air.
After an unknown time, the feeling of breathlessness came, and they slowly parted.
Li Shishi breathed heavily, her expression dazed. Limp and powerless, she leaned into Deng Tianyu’s embrace.
She greedily breathed in her senior brother’s scent, like a lazy kitten rubbing against his cheek.
Li Shishi had imagined countless times what it would be like if the day came when they successfully conquered their senior brother, but she could never quite picture it.
Until this moment, she understood. Perhaps this scene before her was exactly it.
Burying her face in her senior brother’s warm chest, breathing his scent, listening to his heartbeat, enjoying his tenderness.
Although this time they’d only used the excuse of her obsession to make him her Dao Companion briefly…
Compared to before, this operation was a monumental success.
For now, it was just kissing, but this progress would break through layer by layer, until the day Senior Brother truly became her Dao Companion.
Deng Tianyu, on the other hand, looked at the junior sister in his arms with an incredibly complex expression.
Previously, he’d agreed to be Li Shishi’s Dao Companion for a day simply to let her experience the feeling between a man and a woman, to resolve that thread of obsession.
But he’d never considered what to do after her obsession was resolved!
After a long while, Deng Tianyu patted the jade beauty in his arms and said softly, “Shishi, it’s time to bathe.”
“Mhm.”
Li Shishi responded with a soft, sweet sound but didn’t get up. Instead, she squeezed even closer into Deng Tianyu’s embrace.
Her slender fingers secretly found his warm palm again, her fair, delicate digits yearningly slipping through the gaps between his fingers, interlocking them.
She couldn’t bear to leave this warm embrace, couldn’t bear to lose the warmth of her senior brother’s fingertips. So, she would delay as long as possible.
Deng Tianyu glanced at her, exasperated. “Shishi, are you deliberately stalling?”
“No, I… my whole body is limp and weak. I have no strength at all. I’m just borrowing Senior Brother’s chest to lean on for a while.”
Li Shishi naturally refused to admit it, finding a perfect excuse for herself.
For this, she felt smug inside, secretly praising herself for being so clever.
