Deng Tianyu shook his head, not bothering to delve deeper into the art. He just looked at her helplessly and bent down. “Fine, I’ll carry you back!”
“Senior Brother is the best!”
Li Shishi’s alluring red lips curved into a beautiful arc. Her pale, snow-white lotus arms gently wrapped around his neck, and she buried her head against his shoulder.
Unnoticed, her dark brown pupils had turned into a bewitching shade of crimson.
“Let’s go!”
Feeling the soft pressure against his back, Deng Tianyu then lifted her long, snowy legs and walked toward the stone steps of the Rear Cliff.
As he walked, the hem of her Embroidered Flowing Immortal Dress swayed, and her jade feet in their embroidered shoes bobbed continuously, a vision of mesmerizing beauty.
Deng Tianyu was about to activate his True Essence to use the spatial divine ability Shrinking Earth into Inches, but Hong Shi stopped him.
“Senior Brother, it’s been so long since you’ve carried me like this.”
“Let’s just walk down slowly. Is that okay?”
“Fine.” Deng Tianyu paused. In the end, he couldn’t bear to refuse.
“Senior Brother is the best. This is your reward!”
Seeing this, Hong Shi leaned forward and planted a soft kiss on his cheek, leaving behind a delicate lip print.
Deng Tianyu said, exasperated, “Shishi, are you deliberately taking advantage of me?”
“Senior Brother can take advantage right back, you know? You can kiss me too.”
“Not just once, but until the end of time, if you want.”
To this, Hong Shi paid no mind, instead leaning close to his ear and breathing a puff of hot air.
Deng Tianyu’s movements faltered. He was about to teach her a lesson but found his hands were occupied holding her up.
Noticing he had stopped, Hong Shi asked, puzzled, “What’s wrong?”
“Nothing.”
Deng Tianyu shook his head, stepped onto the stone path, and continued downwards.
He felt that the Li Shishi from ten years later seemed to have changed quite a bit.
Especially her methods of teasing—perhaps she’d read too many of those questionable novels and become more adept at it.
Going down the stone steps, Deng Tianyu channeled his True Essence, increasing his speed slightly.
This caused Hong Shi’s face to flush peach red. She held his neck tightly, humming in a spoiled, coquettish tone, “Senior Brother~ slower, I… I can hardly take it!”
“Don’t make sounds like that. It sounds like we’re doing something unspeakable.” The corner of Deng Tianyu’s mouth twitched; he was speechless.
He suspected Li Shishi was doing it on purpose, but he had no proof.
“Isn’t that the case?” Hong Shi asked innocently in return.
“Your head is the case!” Deng Tianyu sped up. The wind surged around them, whipping the long hair of the person on his back into the air, carrying waves of a delicate, subtle fragrance.
“Shishi, the Six Sect Martial Tournament is coming up soon. Shishu Xu told me: this time, you and I will be participating!”
Hong Shi smiled brightly, leaning dependently on Deng Tianyu’s shoulder. Her alluring red lips lightly touched his neck, secretly planting a small mark there. “As long as it’s with Senior Brother, I’d go with you even to the End of the World Cape!”
“Shishi, you’re too close!”
Feeling the strange sensation on his neck, Deng Tianyu assumed her face had just bumped against him due to the jostling.
“Am I?” Hong Shi stared fixedly at his profile, asking reflexively.
Deng Tianyu rolled his eyes. “What do you think?”
Hong Shi shook her head and said with a straight face, “I don’t think I am.”
Deng Tianyu didn’t argue the point further. He just sped up even more.
In moments, they had already left the Rear Cliff and returned to their residence.
“How did we get back so quickly?”
Hong Shi slid off his warm back with considerable reluctance.
“Rest well.”
Deng Tianyu tossed out these words and entered his own room.
Watching his retreating figure, a distinctly sickly smile appeared on Hong Shi’s face. Then, her crimson eyes shifted back to their normal dark brown.
Li Shishi entered her own boudoir and sighed. “I feel like I lost out!”
“How did you lose out?” Hong Shi appeared beside her.
Li Shishi ground her teeth, looking at her. “Just now, I only nuzzled against Senior Brother’s chest a few times. But you kissed Senior Brother once and got him to carry you all the way back.”
Meeting her gaze, Hong Shi narrowed her beautiful eyes. “And what about letting Senior Brother rub your little piggies? Why don’t you mention that?”
“Even so, I still lost out.”
“Then what do you want?”
“Next time we’re intimate with Senior Brother, my turn should be longer.”
“Fine.”
Thus, their disagreement was resolved. Li Shishi kicked off her embroidered shoes and lay down on her bed. Thinking about today’s gains, her curvaceous, voluptuous body rolled left three times and right three times across the silk covers.
When formulating their Senior Brother-capturing strategy, she and Hong Shi had reached an agreement: if they succeeded, they had to share Deng Tianyu fairly. Neither could have more, neither less.
In summary: she got Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays; Hong Shi got Wednesdays, Fridays, and Sundays; the extra day—Monday—was jointly owned.
As for matters before the actual “capture,” they hadn’t made any prior agreement, hence the earlier conflict.
As for the possibility of failure, Li Shishi had never considered it.
Because she and Hong Shi were a rare case of One Body, Two Souls. Coupled with cultivating the 《Empress Reincarnation Art》, they could switch between loli and mature form. With such a combination, how could they possibly fail?
In her view, the “Capture Senior Brother Plan” had only two results.
First, success!
Second, still success!
Recalling the earlier scene of Hong Shi kissing Senior Brother, Li Shishi was still disgruntled. “I haven’t even kissed Senior Brother yet!”
Hong Shi glanced at her. “When I kissed him, weren’t you able to feel it too?”
Li Shishi pursed her lips. “I just passively experienced it. It doesn’t count!”
“When we were initially deciding who would go first, wasn’t it you who rushed to the front?”
“You even said that you absolutely had to be the first to present the ten-years-later version of yourself perfectly to Senior Brother. Then he wouldn’t be able to resist and would do… those lewd things with you.”
Hong Shi mercilessly prodded her sore spot.
“Damn it, I underperformed!”
Li Shishi buried her head into her blanket, engaging in deep self-reflection on her own incompetence.
When the two of them had day-and-night trained the 《Empress Reincarnation Art》 to the entry level, a problem arose.
Who would be the first to appear before Senior Brother in their mature, Onee-san form, taking that first step in the capture plan?
In the end, under Li Shishi’s intense insistence, she was the first to debut.
Unfortunately, it was a disastrous start. Other than the little piggies receiving some comfort and a bit of spoiled nuzzling in Senior Brother’s arms, there was no other substantial progress.
In contrast, Hong Shi had achieved highly significant battle results: kissing Senior Brother’s cheek and being carried on his back for intimate interaction.
“It’s fine. Learn from this lesson and strive for deeper intimacy with Senior Brother next time.”
“Now we need to plan the second step of the capture strategy.”
Hong Shi was like an elder sister, gently patting Li Shishi under the silk blanket.
“The second step of the capture strategy?” At the mention of this, Li Shishi immediately popped her head out from under the covers, her beautiful eyes sparkling with an extremely brilliant light.
“Mm, the second step of the capture plan.”
“Now that we can switch between the two forms, we need to make Senior Brother realize the charm of this point.”
Hong Shi was like a female Zhuge Liang commanding a battle, speaking with great eloquence!
Li Shishi was like a diligent student in a schoolroom, sometimes nodding like a chick pecking at rice, sometimes showing an expression of sudden enlightenment.
