35: Chapter 35 My junior sister is also very gentle

Su Ye listened to this spine-chilling, passionate confession, yet his heart remained completely calm, and he even felt a bit like laughing.

【It seems Second Senior Sister's yandere nature is beyond saving.】

【However...】

【This feeling of being held in someone's palm and cherished like a rare treasure isn't bad at all.】

【At least it's ten thousand times better than that miserable ending in the original story.】

In this cruel world of cultivation.

The weak are prey to the strong; only the fittest survive.

If it weren't for the protection of these few "perverted" Junior Sisters, he, a "useless person," would have long since become a pile of bones in the wilderness. How could he possibly be lying on this top-grade cold jade bed, enjoying the personal care of a beautiful Junior Sister?

Just as Su Ye was filled with emotion,

his body suddenly let out a protest in a most uncooperative manner.

"Gurgle—"

A long and loud stomach growl sounded, appearing exceptionally abrupt in the silent hall.

It shattered the romance and heaviness that filled the room.

The air seemed to freeze for a moment.

Su Ye: "..."

【This is awkward.】

【Although cultivators can abstain from food once they reach the Foundation Establishment Stage, that is based on the premise that bodily functions are operating normally and can autonomously absorb Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi.】

【I am now a "useless person" with severed Meridians; my body cannot cycle energy autonomously, so naturally, I will feel hungry.】

【Plus, the "exertion" last night was quite intense, consuming a lot of physical energy. It's only reasonable that my stomach is growling, right?】

Su Ye comforted himself.

But as the once aloof "Eldest Senior Brother," having his stomach growl from hunger in front of a Junior Sister was, no matter how you looked at it, somewhat embarrassing.

Fortunately, he was in a "comatose" state; as long as he didn't feel awkward, it was others who would be embarrassed.

Liu Ruyan was stunned.

She had originally been affectionately stroking Su Ye's cheek, brewing even more explicit love words for what was to come.

But this sudden "gurgle" pulled her directly back to reality from that morbid self-intoxication.

She blinked.

In those peach blossom eyes, a flicker of astonishment flashed, followed by a deep sense of amusement.

It was a smile from the heart, without any shadows.

It was as if she had discovered an incredibly interesting and novel toy.

"Pfft—"

Liu Ruyan covered her mouth and giggled, her eyes curving into crescents. The charm of that moment was enough to make all flowers lose their color.

"So..."

"Eldest Senior Brother can get hungry too."

Her voice became much lighter, losing some of the previous oppression and madness, and gaining a bit of a young woman's coquettishness.

"That's right."

"Senior Brother is currently physically weak and is in need of nourishment."

"Last night..."

Liu Ruyan's face flushed slightly, and her gaze drifted a bit.

"Last night, Ruyan's demands... cough, excessive healing, must have consumed quite a bit of Senior Brother's vitality."

"It was Junior Sister's oversight."

She slowly sat upright.

The red silk nightgown slid down with her movements, revealing a large expanse of snow-white skin, glowing with an ivory luster in the morning light.

But she didn't care at all.

In this Hall of Mental Cultivation, apart from Su Ye lying on the bed, there was no one else.

And in her eyes, Su Ye was her own private possession.

"Since Senior Brother is hungry."

"Then Junior Sister will go make breakfast for Senior Brother right now."

Liu Ruyan said, while elegantly getting out of bed.

Her bare jade feet stepped on the cold obsidian floor, making a faint sound.

She was in no rush to get dressed properly.

Instead, she first walked to the bronze mirror in the hall and tidied up her slightly messy hair.

The woman in the mirror.

Face like a peach blossom, eyes filled with spring water.

That was the unique, charming radiance after being nourished for a night.

"I wonder what Senior Brother would like to eat?"

Liu Ruyan spoke to the mirror, as if asking Su Ye, and also as if asking herself.

"Back at Purple Bamboo Peak, Senior Brother liked the 'Purple Jade Spiritual Rice Porridge' made by Revered Master the most."

"However..."

"Revered Master is such a busy person, currently in seclusion to heal, how would she have time to care about Senior Brother's daily needs?"

"Besides, the porridge Revered Master makes is always too bland."

"Senior Brother's body is weak right now and needs heavy nourishment."

Liu Ruyan turned around, looking at Su Ye on the bed, a glimmer of cunning flashing in her eyes.

"I heard that a batch of 'Five-Colored Golden Pheasant' was newly offered to the Spirit Beast Garden in the back mountain."

"That is a highly nourishing item."

"If I use it to make porridge and add a few thousand-year-old blood ginsengs, it will definitely help Senior Brother restore his body."

If the Elders of the Spirit Beast Garden heard this, they would likely vomit three liters of blood on the spot.

Those Five-Colored Golden Pheasants are rare Spirit Beasts possessing the Phoenix Bloodline; each one is extremely precious and is usually worshipped like an ancestor.

Yet in Liu Ruyan's mouth,

they became ingredients to make porridge for Eldest Senior Brother?

But Liu Ruyan didn't care about that.

In her worldview, everything in this world is good as long as it is beneficial to Eldest Senior Brother.

As for rules?

Those are made for the weak.

At Purple Bamboo Peak, in this Hall of Mental Cultivation, she, Liu Ruyan, is the rule!

"Eldest Senior Brother, wait for me."

"Junior Sister will be back very soon."

Liu Ruyan walked behind the screen, and a rustling sound of fabric rubbing against fabric ensued.

A moment later.

When she walked out again.

She had changed into the standard attire of a Personal Disciple of Purple Bamboo Peak.

A light purple dress with a white silk ribbon tied around her waist, outlining her slender waist that could be grasped in one hand.

Her full head of dark hair was casually pinned up with a jade hairpin, revealing her slender neck.

At this moment.

She had restrained the madness and allure in her eyes, transforming back into that cold, aloof, and intimidating Second Senior Sister of Purple Bamboo Peak.

Only when she looked at Su Ye on the bed.

would a trace of imperceptible tenderness flash in the depths of her icy eyes.

"I wonder if that little wolf cub, Ye Chuxia, has woken up yet."

Liu Ruyan walked to the hall door, her steps paused slightly, and her brows knitted lightly.

"Since she has become Eldest Senior Brother's maid, she should act like one."

"Not coming over early in the morning to serve and help with washing up, but actually slacking off?"

"It seems..."

"Yesterday's training was not profound enough."

Liu Ruyan snorted coldly, her tone revealing a bone-chilling coldness.

"Perfect."

"Today, I'll let her help with the rough work of making breakfast."

"And let her understand who is the one who can truly bring 'happiness' to Eldest Senior Brother here at Purple Bamboo Peak."

Having said that.

Liu Ruyan gently pushed open the hall door.

"Creak—"

The cold morning wind, mixed with the mountain mist, surged into the hall, blowing her skirt hem.

She turned her head and took one last deep look at Su Ye on the bed.

"Senior Brother, wait for me obediently."

Afterwards.

The hall door closed.

Locking the spring scenery and secrets of the room once again within these heavy palace walls.

...

With Liu Ruyan's departure.

The Hall of Mental Cultivation returned to a deathly silence once again.

Only the newly replaced calming incense in the purple gold incense burner was curling upwards.

Su Ye lay on the bed, his mind filled with thousands of thoughts.

【This Second Senior Sister is truly decisive.】

【Five-Colored Golden Pheasant...】

【Tsk tsk tsk, this is a good thing. It is said that one bite can increase cultivation by ten years.】

【Looks like I'll have a treat today.】

Although he could only consume liquid food now, this did not affect his anticipation for delicious food.

After all.

Aside from the pleasure brought by Dual Cultivation, satisfying his appetite was one of the few joys in this boring life as a vegetative state person.

Just then.

Su Ye's Divine Sense stirred slightly.

He "saw".

Not long after Liu Ruyan left.

A sneaky green figure was sticking to the wall base, cautiously creeping towards the direction of the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

The figure was petite and exquisite, wearing an inconspicuous cyan Utility Disciple uniform, with two green leaves on her head as decoration, looking just like an unremarkable little blade of grass.

It was none other than the Third Junior Sister of Purple Bamboo Peak, that socially anxious and yandere little invisible person—Jiang Nian.

She seemed very afraid of running into people.

Every few steps, she would stop and look around, and only after confirming no one was around would she dare to continue moving.

That guilty-as-thief look was simply cute to the extreme.

【Oh?】

【Third Junior Sister is here?】

Su Ye chuckled inwardly.

【Looks like before breakfast is even served, this Shuraba... is about to start.】

Jiang Nian hid behind a huge pillar, poking out a little head, looking timidly at the tightly closed hall door.

She was tightly clutching a small porcelain bottle in her hand.

The mouth of the bottle was slightly open, wafting a faint, fresh herbal fragrance.

That was the "Rejuvenation Dew" she had spent the whole night refining.

Although it was not as overbearing as Liu Ruyan's "Pure Yang Fire," it had miraculous effects for repairing Meridians and nourishing the Divine Soul.

"Has... Second Senior Sister left?"

Jiang Nian muttered softly, her voice as thin as a mosquito's.

Her deer-like, wet eyes were filled with nervousness and unease.

Last night...

It should have been her turn to "keep watch" for Eldest Senior Brother.

But Second Senior Sister was too overbearing and drove her away directly.

"Bad Senior Sister..."

Jiang Nian bit her lower lip, a trace of grievance flashing in her eyes.

"Clearly... clearly I also really wanted to warm the bed for Eldest Senior Brother."

"Although my Wood Spirit Power isn't hot, but... but it is very gentle."

"Eldest Senior Brother would definitely like mine more."

Jiang Nian cheered herself on.

She took a deep breath, gathered her courage, and took a small step towards the hall door.

But just then.

A sound of footsteps came from afar.

Was it the sound of Liu Ruyan returning?

Or was it that new Fifth Junior Sister, Ye Chuxia?

Jiang Nian trembled all over, like a startled rabbit, instantly shrinking back behind the pillar, not even daring to breathe loudly.

She only dared to stare fixedly at the hall door with her eyes full of longing.

As if just by looking at that door, she could see the figure inside, the one who haunted her dreams, through the thick wooden planks.

"Eldest Senior Brother..."

"Nian Nian misses you so much..."

Su Ye, inside the hall, took all of this in through his Divine Sense.

He couldn't help but feel a bit amused, and also a bit touched.

【This Third Junior Sister is really...】

【So timid that it's cute.】

【She clearly has the cultivation of the Eighth Heaven of Foundation Establishment Realm, yet she lives like a frightened bird.】

【However...】

【Being thought of by so many Junior Sisters, this life as a vegetative state person doesn't seem as hard to endure as I imagined.】
