Chapter 24: Lou Yunxiao is Sulking
“Xiaoxiao, leave this wooden plaque with me first.” Ning Ke recovered for a bit, feeling his groggy head get better.
He said to Ning Xiaoxiao: “I will slowly teach you the things inside later. Right now it’s dangerous for you to enter the wooden plaque alone deeply.”
Just as he finished speaking, Xiao Yuan notified again: [Congratulations Host on obtaining the important mission item—Gold-Thread Wooden Plaque, initiating side mission: Learn the contents of the wooden plaque and teach them to the heroine.]
?
Ning Ke was puzzled: Why does my mission involve the heroine?
[Host, your mission is to fill all the loopholes in this novel, so as long as it involves important plot matters, you have to do it oh.]
“…” Ning Ke thought of something and asked again: Then in that case, isn’t the biggest loophole of this book why Ning Ke wiped out the Liuyun Sect for no reason back then? Why don’t I see you letting me fill this part of the plot?
[That… the time hasn’t come yet.] Xiao Yuan’s tone weakened, saying: [When the trigger comes, you will know.]
Ning Ke knew if the system didn’t want to say, he couldn’t ask it out either.
Over here he heard Ning Xiaoxiao agree to him.
He then put away the wooden plaque and sat up from the bed.
Ning Xiaoxiao was afraid he would be cold, hurriedly hugging over a fluffy big cloak: “Brother, it’s still snowing outside, wear this.”
Only at this time did Ning Ke remember Lou Yunxiao, asking: “Where is your Eldest Senior Brother?”
“…” Ning Xiaoxiao looked at her own brother speechlessly, saying: “So Brother, you totally forgot about Eldest Senior Brother just now?”
“You slapped his hand away when you woke up, so he consciously went out to wait.”
“…” Only then did Ning Ke’s chaotic brain recall that he was afraid of blowing his cover, so he slapped Lou Yunxiao’s hand, and because he was thinking about the wooden plaque, he didn’t even listen to Lou Yunxiao’s words.
Damn, his bootlicker disguise actually faltered!
Hurriedly putting on the hood of the cloak, Ning Ke walked out of the flying boat, seeing Lou Yunxiao standing alone in the rustling falling snow.
Posture straight like a green pine, silver crown binding hair, the hanging part along with the silver-white ribbon fluttering in the wind, one black one white.
Almost integrated with heaven and earth.
Cold and otherworldly.
He should have heard the movement, turning his head towards Ning Ke’s direction, then thought of something, and turned his head away again.
“Senior Brother!”
As soon as Ning Ke called him, he stiffened, turned his head back again.
Then thought of something again, turned back once more.
And turned his body along with it, changing to using his back to face Ning Ke.
“…”
Ning Ke asked Xiao Yuan: What does he mean by this?
[What else can he mean?] Xiao Yuan shook her head and sighed: [Isn’t he just sulking!]
“…” Ning Ke scratched his hair, asking his dog-head military advisor: Then what do you say I should do?
[Coax him.]
“…”
Ning Ke shook his head resignedly, put away the flying boat, let Xiaoxiao lead the way in front.
He himself followed behind with Lou Yunxiao.
He reached out his hand, saying: “Senior Brother, the snow is heavy now, the road is hard to walk, let me hold you?”
“No need.” Lou Yunxiao said: “I can identify the direction myself.”
Receiving the cold shoulder, Ning Ke touched the tip of his nose, saying: “Senior Brother, if you don’t hold me, my hands are cold.”
“I bear the Ice Spiritual Root; holding hands will make you colder.”
“…”
Ning Ke thought to himself, usually he didn’t see Lou Yunxiao “knowing how to talk” so well?
But even after saying this, Lou Yunxiao still summoned a flame, throwing it to Ning Ke’s side to warm him.
Ning Ke’s eyeballs rolled, finally simply sat splat on the ground, deliberately making a sound.
“Ouch, Senior Brother, I sprained my ankle…”
Xiao Yuan couldn’t help roasting: [Host, this clumsy acting of yours, I really can’t bear to look. You, a Golden Core cultivator, kicking a tree with your foot would break the tree. Falling down plain and simple like this and saying you sprained your ankle, do you think the male lead is stupid enough to believe you?]
Ning Ke sat shamelessly in the snow, saying to Xiao Yuan: Bet you 1 yuan, regardless of whether he believes it or not, he will turn back to find me.
[I don’t believe it!]
Resulting in Xiao Yuan just finishing speaking, she saw Lou Yunxiao really turned his head.
Xiao Yuan was shocked: [No way, no way, he wouldn’t actually believe it, right?]
The boy went against the wind and snow, towards Ning Ke’s direction.
Ning Ke hurriedly continued to hum twice: “Senior Brother, it hurts so much I can’t get up…”
“…” Having stood like this for only a while, Lou Yunxiao really walked back.
Ning Ke laughed until his gums showed, calling Xiao Yuan: Remember to pay the bill when I return to the modern era!
[…]
Lou Yunxiao squatted in front of Ning Ke, asking him: “Where does it hurt?”
His voice was cold and clear, like slowly played zither music. Knowing clearly that Ning Ke might be faking it, he still indulged him, cared about him.
Facing such an easily deceived male lead, Ning Ke couldn’t help snickering in his heart.
He softened his voice and said: “Everywhere hurts, can’t walk by myself anymore, might have to trouble Senior Brother to carry me.”
[Host, I despise you →_→.]
Ning Ke ignored her, just waiting for Lou Yunxiao’s reaction.
Then he saw the boy frown, and sigh lightly.
Replied to him with a “Okay”.
Afterward turned around, letting Ning Ke climb up.
Ning Ke lay unceremoniously on Lou Yunxiao’s back, putting his cloak on Lou Yunxiao too: “Hehe, Senior Brother, this way both of us are warm.”
“You walk forward, I’ll guide you.”
“Mm.”
Lou Yunxiao felt Ning Ke’s body temperature, body stiffening slightly, but relaxed very quickly, walking forward slowly.
The two passed through the forest covered by frost and snow, boots stepping on the snow, making crunching sounds.
Lying like this, looking at the small flame dancing beside him like a street lamp, Ning Ke suddenly remembered things from his childhood.
Before five years old, when he fell ill, Dad would carry him to the hospital like this.
At that time, no matter how uncomfortable, as long as he lay on that warm back, he felt the pain would pass very quickly.
Nothing to be afraid of.
Later parents died early. In the remaining life, he also protected his sister like his father.
The little girl also once lay on his back, saying: Brother, it’s so good to have you.
Emotions trembling lightly, Ning Ke said with a husky voice.
“Senior Brother, I miss home…”
Lou Yunxiao froze, steps slowing down slightly.
He asked: “Junior Brother, where is your home? How about after returning to Junior Sister’s home, we go to your home…”
“My home is in a place very, very far away… so far that I must exhaust everything to go back.”
Among this “everything” also included deceiving you, using you.
Ning Ke’s hands placed on Lou Yunxiao’s shoulders slowly moved forward, then gently, gently hugged the boy’s neck.
He said: “Senior Brother…”
“Hmm?”
“Sorry, I lied to you.”
