23: Chapter 23 I'm willing to cultivate together

Inside the Listening to Rain Pavilion, following that soft, sweet call tinged with a hint of obsessive madness, the air seemed to freeze for an instant.

Su Ye lay on the Ten-Thousand-Year Cold Jade Bed, but his heart skipped a beat.

Through his Divine Sense, he could clearly "see."

His own Third Junior Sister Jiang Nian, who appeared harmless to both humans and animals but was actually a textbook "yandere," was standing prettily by the bed, carrying a food box that was still emitting eerie green Qi.

Today, she wore an emerald-green Fairy dress, with a pale yellow silk ribbon tied around her waist, outlining her slender waist that could be encircled by a single hand.

Her long, raven-black hair was casually held up by just a green wooden hairpin, with a few strands falling beside her ears, making her look exceptionally gentle and moving.

If one ignored the occasional flash of fanaticism in her eyes, she was absolutely a Fairy who would make countless Outer Sect Disciples lose their souls in longing.

However, right now, Su Ye only wanted to shout: "Protect me!"

"Sniff... sniff..." Just as Jiang Nian reached the bedside, her originally excited little face suddenly stiffened.

Her delicate, exquisite nose twitched slightly, as if she were capturing some scent in the air that displeased her.

The next second, her originally sunny, smiling face instantly darkened.

The speed of that change was faster than turning a page.

"The scent of violets..." Jiang Nian's voice turned low, carrying a chill that made one's spine go cold.

She extended a finger and lightly traced it through the air, as if trying to completely shred the lingering scent.

"It's that vixen, Second Senior Sister."

"I knew it!"

"She must have snuck over to 'eat alone' while I was in seclusion!"

Jiang Nian bit her lower lip, her eyes slightly red, looking as if she had suffered a great grievance.

Su Ye on the bed: ...

He wiped a cold sweat in his heart silently.

Junior Sister, although you are a yandere, isn't this nasal sensitivity a bit excessive?

Liu Ruyan left several hours ago, and she even specifically cleaned up the scene before leaving.

You can smell that?

Are you a descendant of the Howling Celestial Dog?

"Hmph!"

Jiang Nian stomped her feet angrily.

With a wave of her hand.

A fresh scent of plants and trees instantly permeated the room, domineeringly dispersing the last trace of the violet fragrance lingering in the air.

After doing all this, she nodded with satisfaction.

"Senior Brother can only have Nian Nian's scent."

"Other women, don't even think about touching him!"

Jiang Nian muttered to herself, the gloom on her face swept away, replacing it with that sweet-enough-to-kill smile.

She placed the food box in her hand gently on the bedside table.

She opened the lid.

A medicinal aroma, so rich it was almost tangible, instantly rushed out.

Su Ye felt his nose tickle.

Good grief.

This smell... it's a bit pungent!

In the food box, there was a bowl of dark green medicinal soup.

The soup was thick, and one could vaguely see some unknown spiritual material fragments tumbling inside, emitting extremely pure Yang Qi.

Even just smelling it, Su Ye felt the Qi and blood in his body start to accelerate.

"Yang-Restoring Great Tonic Soup."

Jiang Nian carefully picked up the bowl, her big eyes sparkling with anticipation.

"Senior Brother, this is a recipe that Nian Nian spent a lot of contribution points to exchange for from the Medicine King Valley."

"It has thousand-year Fire Lingzhi, Blood-Red Dragon Ginseng, and also..."

That part?

Junior Sister, you are truly brave!

Is that kind of thing something you can just feed someone?

And you're feeding it to a "vegetative state person"?

Are you trying to make me explode on the spot, or are you trying to make me... *cough cough*.

Su Ye felt his kidneys were already aching faintly.

Is this what is called "eating soft rice"?

Although it's very nourishing, this mouthful of rice is a bit too hot to handle!

Jiang Nian didn't know the stormy waves in Su Ye's heart.

While gently stirring the medicinal soup with a spoon, she looked affectionately at Su Ye's peerlessly handsome face.

"That bad woman, Second Senior Sister, only knows how to use brute force."

"She actually wore you out until you were this weak."

"But it's okay."

"Nian Nian will nourish you back to health."

"I'll nourish you until you're strong, and then..."

Jiang Nian smiled foolishly, a dangerous glint flashing in her eyes.

"Then you can accompany Nian Nian to Cultivate."

Su Ye: !

He suppressed his heartbeat and the flow of his true energy to the frequency of a "dying person."

Even if Jiang Nian placed her hand on his chest right now, she would only be able to feel that weak heartbeat, like a thread of Qi.

An absolute method actor!

The Oscars owe him a golden statue!

"Come, Senior Brother, time to drink the soup."

Jiang Nian scooped up a spoonful of the dark green medicinal soup.

Although the color was a bit eerie, the rich Spiritual Qi was genuine.

She pursed her rosy little lips and gently blew on the steam.

Her movements were as gentle as if she were treating a rare treasure.

"Ah—"

Jiang Nian, as if coaxing a child, brought the spoon to Su Ye's lips.

However, an awkward scene occurred.

Su Ye was currently in his "vegetative state person" persona.

From head to toe, except for his thoughts, he couldn't move anything.

Naturally, this included his mouth.

His teeth were clenched tightly, and he couldn't open them at all.

"Clang."

The jade spoon gently tapped against Su Ye's tightly closed teeth, making a crisp sound.

The dark green soup flowed down from the corner of his mouth, dripping onto the pristine white pillow, staining it with an eye-catching blotch.

"Oh no!"

Jiang Nian exclaimed, quickly putting down the bowl, and in a flurry, took out a scented handkerchief to wipe the soup stains from the corner of Su Ye's mouth.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry..."

"Nian Nian is too clumsy."

"I dirtied Senior Brother."

As she wiped, her eyes turned red again.

Looking at Su Ye's unresponsive appearance, Jiang Nian's heart ached as if pricked by needles.

Once upon a time, how high-spirited was Senior Brother?

The First Disciple of Purple Bamboo Peak, the Ancient Desolate Sacred Body, top ten on the Prodigy Rankings.

A single sword strike cold enough to chill nineteen provinces!

Back then, Senior Brother was like the sun in the sky, so dazzling that people dared not look directly at him.

But now, he could only lie here like a living dead person.

He couldn't even drink a mouthful of soup.

Even those damn teeth were clenched stiff due to the long-term coma.

"Wuwuwu..."

"Senior Brother, please get better soon."

"Nian Nian really wants to hear you speak."

"I really want you to scold me as an 'idiot' one more time."

Jiang Nian lay on Su Ye's chest, sobbing softly.

Tears slid down her cheeks, dampening Su Ye's collar.

Feeling the warm dampness on his chest, Su Ye felt a wave of helplessness in his heart.

This girl.

Although she was a bit crazy and paranoid at times, this heart of hers was truly sincere to the point of being moving.

"Sigh..."

"If I let her know that I can actually kill a cow with one punch right now, I wonder if she would go dark on the spot?"

Su Ye thought to himself secretly.

However, now was clearly not the time to be exposed.

Since he had chosen the path of "eating soft rice while staying tough," he had to act out the whole performance.

After crying for a while, Jiang Nian lifted her head, and in those teary, large eyes, a hint of determination suddenly flashed.

"No!"

"This soup must be drunk!"

"This is something I brewed for seven times seven forty-nine hours to perfect."

"If it isn't drunk, the medicinal power will dissipate and it will be useless."

Jiang Nian looked at the bowl of Yang-Restoring Great Tonic Soup that was still steaming, her eyes gradually becoming sharp.

Since the spoon couldn't feed it in, and the teeth couldn't be pried open, then... she could only use that method!

Jiang Nian gritted her teeth, her pretty face instantly turning bright red, like a ripe apple.

She turned her head to look at the tightly closed door.

After confirming that no one would suddenly break in, she picked up the bowl of soup again.

This time, she didn't use a spoon.

Instead, she picked up the bowl directly, tilted her head back, and took a large mouthful of the scalding medicinal soup into her mouth.

"Gulp."

The scalding temperature made her frown slightly.

But she didn't swallow it.

Instead, she leaned over, slowly, bit by bit, approaching Su Ye.

Closer.

Even closer.

Su Ye's Divine Sense was locked onto Jiang Nian.

Watching that peerlessly beautiful face constantly magnifying in his vision.

Watching those long eyelashes trembling slightly like a frightened butterfly.

Watching those two lips, appearing exceptionally full and rosy from holding the medicinal soup.

Su Ye's breathing (psychologically) skipped a beat.

Is this going to...

The next second, she didn't rush to pass the medicine.

It was as if she were coaxing a disobedient child to open their mouth.

Patient, and persistent.

Su Ye's body instinctively wanted to resist, but under the powerful self-control of the Ancient Desolate Sacred Body, he perfectly maintained a "passive" state.

Even... although the movement was very small, in Jiang Nian's eyes, this was the greatest encouragement!

"Senior Brother... he reacted!"

Jiang Nian was overjoyed.

Her originally shy and nervous mood was instantly replaced by immense joy.

She no longer hesitated.

Su Ye's Adam's apple rolled instinctively, swallowing that mouthful of medicinal soup filled with Spiritual Qi and love (although with a weird aftertaste).

Boom!

The medicinal soup entered his belly.

It instantly transformed into an extremely violent hot current, rushing straight to Su Ye's Dantian.

It was worthy of being a great tonic soup that added that part of the Earth-Shaking Divine Bull!

This medicinal strength was fierce enough!

Su Ye only felt a flame rushing from the soles of his feet straight to his crown.

His originally calm true energy boiled again.

The Foundation Establishment Stage Sixth Heaven Realm, under the impact of this medicinal power, actually showed faint signs of loosening again!

"Good stuff!"

Su Ye praised in his heart.

"It seems that in the future, I must eat a few more mouthfuls of this kind of soft rice."

And Jiang Nian, seeing that the first mouthful had been fed, was greatly encouraged.

Panting lightly.

"Senior Brother... does it taste good?"

She asked softly, her voice so soft and sweet it seemed like it could drip water.

Regardless of whether Su Ye could answer, she picked up the bowl again and took a large mouthful.

She leaned over again.

And kissed down.

In the gaps, Jiang Nian's indistinct murmurs rang out.

Carrying a bit of pathological satisfaction.

Su Ye, however, was in pain and happiness.

The happy part was that the medicinal effect of this great tonic soup was indeed potent, and the experience points on the System panel were jumping frantically.

[Ding!]

[Detected high-level great tonic medicinal power intake.]

[Ancient Desolate Sacred Body is absorbing and converting...]

[Conversion successful!]

[Obtained True Energy Value + 500.]

[Obtained True Energy Value + 500.]

[...]

The painful part was.

This girl's technique... was truly too raw!

She only knew how to gnaw!

My lips are about to be gnawed until the skin breaks, hey!

And.

As the medicinal soup entered his belly mouthful by mouthful.

That feeling of dry heat became stronger and stronger.

Su Ye felt he was like a volcano about to erupt.

Yet his body had to remain motionless.

This extreme endurance was simply a torture!

"System, can you block the pain sensation?"

Su Ye wailed in his heart.

[Ding!]

[Due to the host being in the special state of "eating soft rice while staying tough," the blocking function is temporarily disabled.]

[Please enjoy this "heavy" love from your Junior Sister to the fullest.]

[This is all what you deserve.]

Su Ye: ...

Damn System!

You just wait!

Just when Su Ye was frantically greeting the System's entire family in his heart, Jiang Nian had finished feeding the last mouthful of soup.

She straightened up, satisfied.

Looking at Su Ye's lips, which were somewhat swollen from her kissing, a glint of triumph flashed in her eyes.

"Hmph."

"This has stamped it."

"Senior Brother now has Nian Nian's scent all over his body."

"Let's see how that vixen, Second Senior Sister, will compete with me in the future!"

Jiang Nian stuck out the tip of her tongue and licked her somewhat numb lips.

It seemed she was still savoring the wonderful tactile sensation from just now.

She put the empty bowl back into the food box.

Then.

She didn't turn around and leave as usual.

Instead, she kicked off her embroidered shoes.

Like a little cat, she climbed onto Su Ye's Cold Jade Bed.

"Whew..."

"This Cold Jade Bed is so cold."

"Senior Brother lying here alone must be very lonely and cold, right?"

"It's okay."

"Nian Nian will come and warm the bed for you."

Jiang Nian muttered to herself.

Then, under the gaze of Su Ye's shocked Divine Sense.

She actually crawled directly into Su Ye's quilt!

Warm fragrance and soft jade entered his embrace.

A rich, girlish body scent, mixed with a faint herbal fragrance, instantly surrounded Su Ye.

Jiang Nian was like an octopus.

Using both hands and feet, she wrapped herself tightly around Su Ye.

Her head rested on Su Ye.

Jiang Nian didn't seem to notice anything unusual.

Or rather, she didn't care at all.

She just held Su Ye tightly, as if holding the only straw of life in this world.

She buried her face deeply into the crook of Su Ye's neck, greedily breathing in the scent that belonged to him.

"Senior Brother..."

"Do you know?"

"Ever since you had your accident, people at Purple Bamboo Peak have been laughing at us."

"Saying that our Purple Bamboo Peak is finished."

"Saying that you are a cripple."

Jiang Nian's voice was a bit muffled, carrying a hint of a sob.

"But Nian Nian doesn't believe it."

"You are the Ancient Desolate Sacred Body, you are in the top ten of the Prodigy Rankings."

"How could you possibly be a cripple?"

"You must be tricking them, right?"

Speaking of this, Jiang Nian suddenly raised her head.

Those big eyes, which were originally somewhat moist, were now terrifyingly bright.

She stared straight at Su Ye's tightly closed eyes.

As if wanting to see through his disguise.

"Senior Brother..."

"Will you wake up, okay?"

"As long as you wake up, Nian Nian will listen to you for everything."

"Even if..."

Jiang Nian's voice suddenly became somewhat seductive, carrying a hint of temptation that made one's heartbeat accelerate.

"Even if you want to Dual Cultivate with Nian Nian..."

"Nian Nian is willing too..."
