Early the next morning.
While Xiao Mo was reading in the courtyard, he saw Bai Ruxue leading a young woman dressed in a green long dress, walking step by step towards the courtyard.
Bai Ruxue’s fair face was full of joy.
The young woman being led by Bai Ruxue had her head lowered, her expression showing traces of nervousness, and she seed sowhat reluctant...
Upon seeing Xiao Mo, Bai Ruxue quickened her pace, pulling the young woman into the courtyard: "Xiao Mo, this is my sister, nad Bai Liuqing. She just ca of age this year. I usually call her Xiao Qing, and you can call her Xiao Qing too."
Both sisters were exceptionally beautiful, but with different styles.
Bai Ruxue had a graceful figure and charming appearance, looking adorably naive, giving the impression that she was easily fooled.
Xiao Qing, on the other hand, had a slender figure, with vigilant and cautious eyes, clearly appearing more intelligent than her sister.
"Pleased to et you, Miss Xiao Qing." Xiao Mo stood up and bowed respectfully.
"Hmph!" Xiao Qing raised her small chin.
So you’re the hateful man who stole my sister away.
Because of you, I can only see my sister once or twice a month, and every night I have to sleep alone as a snake!
If I weren’t so attached to my sister, and if being a lone snake cultivating wasn’t so boring, I wouldn’t have co down from the mountain!
Seeing her sister’s lips pouting up to the sky, Bai Ruxue secretly transford, and her white tail tip slapped her sister’s bottom.
Xiao Qing winced slightly in pain, bit her thin lips, and perford the human etiquette her sister had taught her, bowing slightly: "Xiao Qing... greets the young master... From now on, Xiao Qing and sister will be troubling you..."
"Miss Xiao Qing, you’re too polite. It’s your sister who has been taking care of all along." Xiao Mo smiled, "It’s just that my room might not be spacious enough, so Miss Xiao Qing will have to bear with sharing a room with your sister."
"Not at all, not at all," Xiao Bai quickly said on behalf of her sister, "We’ve slept together since we were young, so we’re quite used to it."
Xiao Qing also nodded: "I like sleeping with my sister."
"That’s good then." Xiao Mo smiled, "Miss Xiao Qing, please make yourself at ho. From now on, we are a family."
"Who’s a family with you... ouch..."
Just as Xiao Qing was halfway through her muttering, Bai Ruxue’s tail tip slapped her bottom again.
Xiao Qing’s eyes welled up with faint tears.
She was certain her sister had slapped her bottom red.
"Well, Xiao Mo, you continue reading. I’ll show my sister around the room," said Bai Ruxue.
With that, Bai Ruxue quickly led Xiao Qing into the room, closing the door with a "bang."
Looking at the closed door, Xiao Mo couldn’t help but smile: "It seems Miss Xiao Qing has so opinions about ."
...
In the boudoir, Bai Ruxue stood with her hands on her hips, pouting at Xiao Qing: "Xiao Qing, do you rember what you promised sister?"
"I rember," Xiao Qing rubbed her bottom.
"Then tell what those things are?"
"First, I must not reveal my true identity."
"Mmm, and then?"
"Second, I should treat Xiao Mo just like I treat sister, and not give Xiao Mo any trouble."
Bai Ruxue leaned forward: "So you need to behave well, not just listen to sister, but also to Xiao Mo. Understand?"
"I understand, sister..." Xiao Qing said reluctantly.
"Xiao Qing..." Bai Ruxue stroked Xiao Qing’s head, "Xiao Mo is a really good person."
"But sister, we are Demons and he’s human. How can Demons live with humans? What if he discovers us..."
"Don’t worry," Bai Ruxue straightened up and patted her sister’s shoulder, "He’s very foolish, a bookworm who won’t discover anything. Look at , haven’t I been undiscovered for so long?"
"..."
Xiao Qing looked at her sister’s proud expression, wanting to say sothing but not knowing where to start.
Yeah.
Why hasn’t sister been discovered despite being so silly?
Could it be that Xiao Mo is even more foolish?
"In any case, as long as you don’t show your tail and eat rats secretly, you won’t be discovered, understand?" Bai Ruxue instructed again.
"I understand, sister."
Xiao Qing sighed inwardly.
Given the situation, she would first listen to her sister and live with this human for a while...
"Co, sister will take you shopping for groceries. I’ll teach you how to cook and wash clothes at noon. Let tell you, there’s a lot of depth to these skills."
Bai Ruxue led her sister out of the room.
About half an hour later, Bai Ruxue and Xiao Qing, carrying a basket, arrived at Huang Village.
"The nearby villages all set up stalls in Huang Village. I usually buy vegetables here, but so old ladies will overcharge, so you have to haggle. Watch carefully, sister."
Bai Ruxue turned around and called out to an old lady, "Grandma Li, how much for this carp?"
"What! Thirty-three copper coins?"
"I know this fish is fat, about three jin, but that’s too expensive!"
"I’ll take it for twenty-five copper coins."
"That’s really not acceptable, twenty-eight copper coins is still too expensive."
"Just twenty-five copper coins."
"Grandma Li, please sell it to ... just sell it to ... look how pitiful this fish is... how much it will suffer if it’s not eaten... Grandma Li~~~" Bai Ruxue shook Grandma Li’s arm.
"Alright, thank you, Grandma Li."
Bai Ruxue happily handed over twenty-five copper coins, then picked up the fish and placed it in the bamboo basket.
"How was that? Did you see how to haggle?" Bai Ruxue looked at her sister with pride.
"..." Xiao Qing felt complicated.
Although she hadn’t had much contact with humans.
But is this really how haggling works?
"Sister, this doesn’t seem that difficult," said Xiao Qing.
"Who says so? It’s very difficult! Although since Xiao Mo beca a Scholar, it’s been easier for sister to haggle. Everyone in the surrounding villages takes good care of Xiao Mo," said Bai Ruxue.
