"Ugh!"
Ji Lingruo scoffed at You Su’s intimidation, and didn’t bother to retract her foot, letting You Su hold it.
"As if you could do anything."
You Su raised his sword-like brows, if this had been before coming to Mo Ye City, he might not have dared to act so presumptuously.
During their almost month-long stay on the mountain, though their relationship didn’t have any barriers, they indeed returned to the times at the Mandarin Duck Sword Sect when mutual affections secretly grew. For the two who had already understood each other’s hearts, wasn’t this a form of regression?
But since the Master taught him to treat feelings with honesty and courage, You Su had decided to truly reconcile with his junior sister, not only maintaining their status as senior brother and sister but also establishing each other as partners.
"Hey... hey! What are you doing?!"
Ji Lingruo’s previously pompous demeanor instantly dissipated, her face filled with surprise as she felt a powerful hand suddenly grip her ankle.
"Young sister has been enduring hardships for two days, let me massage it for you."
You Su subtly moved his body down to easily hold the girl’s delicate foot without making her uncomfortable.
"Don’t..."
The girl softly pleaded, seemingly afraid, trying to pull back her small foot, but how could she escape You Su’s fingers grasp?
Those bare, slender feet, the top of which was pristine and tender, the toes delicate and radiant without any hard skin or calluses, felt like the finest lamb-fat jade, impossible to let go.
The sole, often thought to be exceedingly rough, wasn’t so for such a delicate young girl, whose foot sensitivity rivaled that of any key area on her body.
Ji Lingruo felt You Su’s hands clamped to her foot arch, her body stiffened, as if held by a spell.
As You Su’s fingers roamed at the edge of her sole, Ji Lingruo couldn’t help but gently twist her body, her pretty face crimson as if it would drip blood.
The girl wanted to flee, but the sole seemed to transmit a magic power that drained her strength, the slight struggle seen by the boy as affirmation of his massage technique, increasing his vigor.
"You’re shameless..."
Ji Lingruo’s body softened, ten crystal-clear toes curled up like pink pearls hiding in a shell.
"Massaging junior sister is shameless? Then I’d rather be a bit more shameless."
You Su spoke with a ’dead pig unafraid of boiling water’ attitude, intensifying his actions. One hand squeezed the girl’s foot arch, while the other crossed her ankle, climbing to her well-proportioned calf.
Ji Lingruo found it increasingly hard to endure and bent her body to hide under the silk quilt.
The girl punched You Su’s chest in shame and exasperation, "How didn’t I notice your shamelessness on the mountain? Afraid of showing your true self to the Master and senior sister, aren’t you?"
Since both were under the covers, the girl’s fragrant scent filled the narrow warm space.
You Su greedily took a deep breath, boldly placing the girl’s calf on his abdomen to play with.
"I simply don’t dare reveal my true self before junior sister."
You Su sighed softly, his palm already on the girl’s delicate knee, besides the smooth skin, he felt the silkiness of the girl’s nightgown.
If he went further, he’d have to peel off the silk cover, meaning to utterly tear away their senior-junior cover.
"Why..."
"I did something to wrong junior sister, I’m afraid she might misunderstand me, hate me, and leave me."
You Su’s hand lingered on the girl’s knee without daring to proceed further.
Ji Lingruo stayed silent for a long time, the temperature under the covers gradually rising, feeling her body was burning terribly. Somehow, some heartfelt words naturally flowed out:
"Actually, my sister... has been very burdened. She’s carried the clan leader’s responsibility from a young age, as well as revenge for our mother. As an elder sister, she has to protect me too. Because if she didn’t do well, she wouldn’t be a clan leader, and in the clan’s eyes, she wouldn’t be hope for the Snake Race, but rather the sin born from the union of snake and human, and I wouldn’t be able to live this well now...
Actually, I don’t mind if my sister took my Demon Pill, but she shouldn’t have excluded me from avenging our mother. I feel heartache for her too, seeing her struggle, and I want to do something for her. That’s why I got mad and went to Central Continent to learn, because even if I died there, it might relieve her. And if I learn a trick or two, even a little helper, I’d feel better."
You Su absorbed all the girl’s words, his hand continuing its gentle touch, treating the jade-like foot as the girl’s sensitive and vulnerable heart.
"Actually, at the port, I met my sister. We argued and almost fought... but pretended to reconcile in the end. I haven’t forgiven her for trying to take my most important thing yet again. I just pity her for being so strong but having weak moments. So I can give it to her like the Demon Pill, just something she can’t take, only share a little."
"Can’t be taken, no one can take it."
You Su confidently said.
Unknowingly, the two snug under the quilt drew closer, the girl’s sweet breath blew on You Su’s face, as the sweetest honey.
"You mean can’t be taken, but can be shared?"
Ji Lingruo gazed at the nearby face, clear eyes in the dark filled with tenderness.
"My love for junior sister can’t be taken or shared."
At this moment, You Su certainly wouldn’t say ’I’ll love both of you equally’ like nonsense.
The Master had taught him that what women care about is their status in your heart. In this situation, he certainly makes the junior sister feel she’s the most important person to him.
"Who wants your heart? Are you saying the top half for me, the bottom half for sister?" Ji Lingruo laughed cheekily.
"Senior brother has two hearts, one true heart in the top, one sword heart in the bottom, both love junior sister."
"How come I didn’t know about this sword heart? Where is it?"
Ji Lingruo secretly bent her leg, teasingly asked.
"It’s where junior sister’s foot arch is..."
The warmth filled with affection.
You Su knew it was time to explore beyond the silk barrier.
"Your sword heart, compared to your true heart, is much harder."
The girl bent her leg tighter, still joking, but You Su’s breathing quickened, losing the ability to banter.
He boldly claimed those tender lips, their kiss voraciously capturing each other’s souls.
"Junior sister, Mo Ye City hides dangers, let senior brother check your body..."
"Seems a bit uncomfortable... You must check carefully..."
"Rest assured, meticulously."
