Chapter 8: Sister Always Says He’s Small
Ning Ke was dazzled by his smile.
He thought to himself, no wonder this kid has so much luck with women later on; being good-looking really pays off.
He bent down, grabbed Lou Yunxiao’s arm, and lifted him out of the river.
He used his divine sense to directly inspect Lou Yunxiao’s body.
The boy was just stunned for a moment, then obediently accepted it.
After all, in a cultivator’s understanding, having someone invade one’s body with divine sense was a very dangerous thing. He instinctively blocked it for a moment, but realizing it was Ning Ke doing it, he let him be, absolutely refusing to resist again.
“You kid…” Ning Ke was shocked by the inspection.
Just now he thought Lou Yunxiao was going to kick the bucket, but he didn’t know if it was his psychological encouragement from walking over, or if the kid had coincidentally realized the key point of combining the four forces in that instant.
Right now, although Lou Yunxiao looked covered in cuts and bruises, looking inside his body, one could see he had truly entered the rudiments of Dual Cultivation of Dao and Demon.
Awesome as hell.
“Pretty good.” He patted the boy’s shoulder and said, “Your talent is unmatched. Let me think, next you can…”
Gurgle gurgle—
An abrupt sound spread through the air, interrupting Ning Ke’s arrangements.
Ning Ke frowned: “…Who’s snoring in broad daylight?”
A thin blush appeared on Lou Yunxiao’s pale face as he whispered awkwardly, “Sister, it’s me… I’m hungry.”
Only then did Ning Ke realize that with Lou Yunxiao’s current cultivation, he still needed to eat.
“Oh, look at my memory. I actually forgot such an important thing.”
Saying that, he went to pull things out of the original host’s storage space.
Lou Yunxiao was the self-sufficient type and didn’t want to trouble Ning Ke, so he said, “Sister, I felt fish in the river just now, I can catch them myself!”
By the time Ning Ke pulled out various delicious delicacies from the space and turned around, he saw Lou Yunxiao huffing and puffing, crawling out of the water like a water ghost, holding two giant “fish” in his hands.
Those two fish had fish heads and fish tails and were struggling back and forth, but on both sides of the fish bodies were human faces. At this moment, they were baring their teeth, trying to bite Lou Yunxiao’s tattered sleeves.
Yet, Lou Yunxiao, this silly boy, smiled revealing a mouthful of white teeth, saying to him as if claiming credit: “Sister, look, such big fish! I’ll roast them for you to eat!”
Ning Ke: “…”
The corner of his mouth twitched.
Expressionless, he snatched the two “fish” and threw them back into the Demon Soul River like hot potatoes, then “tenderly” stroked Lou Yunxiao’s soaked hair.
He fed the child a big bite of spiritual fruit.
He said, “Be a good cub, listen to me, let’s not eat fish from now on, okay?”
Lou Yunxiao didn’t understand why Ning Ke didn’t want the fish he worked hard to catch. Was it because he caught too few? But thinking of the spiritual fruit Sister stuffed into his mouth, and how her fingers had touched his lips just now—the sweet fruity scent mixed with the faint cold fragrance on her body—
It immediately diverted his attention, and he truly began to gnaw on the spiritual fruit obediently.
After serving the person with good food and drink, Ning Ke didn’t rush to make Lou Yunxiao cultivate again.
After all, this thing couldn’t be achieved overnight.
One had to strike a balance between work and rest.
So, after returning to the wooden house, he patiently explained the precautions of cultivating the Demon path to Lou Yunxiao. Lou Yunxiao listened attentively, and unknowingly, it was late into the night.
The child was sleepy, but facing the single bed, he was in a dilemma.
“Sister, you sleep on the bed, it’s appropriate for me to sleep on the floor.”
He still remembered grabbing Sister’s chest that day. Besides, men and women should not touch; he dared not be that kind of rude lecher again.
“We are both cultivators, what are you afraid of?” Ning Ke didn’t care at all.
After all, he and Lou Yunxiao were both men; sleeping together wouldn’t make him lose a piece of flesh.
But putting himself in the other’s shoes, it was true—in Lou Yunxiao’s eyes, he was a genuine woman.
A sudden desire to tease the other party arose in his heart.
Thinking this, Ning Ke grabbed Lou Yunxiao’s arm, pressed him onto the bed, lifted a lock of the boy’s hair, and laughed softly: “Or could it be, in just these few short days, you brat have developed designs on me, your savior?”
Lou Yunxiao opened his mouth halfway in shock. Realizing their currently dangerous posture, every breath of air contained Sister’s cold fragrance.
When he spoke, his voice changed its tune.
“Si-Sister, I haven’t, I don’t think that way.”
Even at the age of first awakening of love, he dared not covet his savior.
Moreover, he had self-knowledge.
This sister could save the dying him so easily; her strength must be absolutely supreme.
Perhaps even surpassing the previous Sect Master of the Liuyun Sect.
Such a mighty figure would only be attracted to someone with strength similar to hers; how could it be his turn to touch her?
Ning Ke enjoyed the sight of the male lead’s face turning thoroughly red for a while. Holding back his laughter, he pinched Lou Yunxiao’s chin, scrutinized him left and right, his voice flippant.
“It’s best if you aren’t.”
“After all, I’m not perverted enough to lay a hand on such a tender little cub like you.”
After speaking, he rolled over to the other side of the bed, leaving the inner side for Lou Yunxiao, closed his eyes, and fell asleep.
Leaving Lou Yunxiao alone to touch the location of his heart, feeling the heartbeat there that was much more violent than usual, feeling somewhat dazed.
Sister always said he was small.
Then what if he grew up?
If he could grow into a mighty figure supreme across the three realms like Ning Ke, would Sister still say that about him?
In the darkness, the boy pursed his lips tight.
A shallow seed sprouted in his heart.
He thought, perhaps apart from revenge, he now had another purpose for wanting to become strong.
But if he didn’t say it, no one would know.
This was a secret belonging only to him.
