KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK—
Yu Xiaoyan gently knocked on Qing Yueqiu's door, her fingertips making a crisp sound against the carved wood.
"Senior Sister, let's go! Master is calling us for dinner."
The rustle of fabric ca from inside the room, followed by Qing Yueqiu's reply:
"Just a mont. I'll be right out."
"Oh, okay, but hurry up!"
Yu Xiaoyan called out again, her voice a little louder, a strange look appearing in her almond eyes.
'Senior Sister has been acting so strangely these past few days.'
She was normally the most diligent person in the entire Cold Palace Sword Mansion. You could see her practicing her sword in the snow and ice at the crack of dawn, when the sky was just beginning to lighten. She never seed to mind the frost that covered her thin training robes.
But from what Yu Xiaoyan had observed, ever since her Senior Sister returned from the Northern Desert, she had not only started sleeping in but had also beco much fussier.
For example, she always had Cold-Avoiding Talismans stuck to her body. When she drank water, she no longer drank directly from the icy spring well as before. Instead, she insisted on boiling it first and would even steep various nourishing herbs in it.
What stunned her the most was seeing Qing Yueqiu yesterday, cradling a small hand warr and sipping on chicken soup stewed with goji berries and red dates.
'Was this still the sa Senior Sister who would forget to eat and sleep for the sake of her cultivation, who would at most make do with a Fasting Pill?'
Yu Xiaoyan found it incredibly strange. 'Why has Senior Sister suddenly started focusing on her health like Master's wife, even though she's so young!'
But—
'Although Qing Yueqiu's behavior was strange, her figure and aura were indeed becoming more and more alluring...'
'Her pretty face perfectly blended a cold aloofness with a seductive vernal charm, like a flower bud, long on the verge of blooming, had finally opened.'
Yu Xiaoyan thought to herself, 'Could it be that Senior Sister accidentally found so secret beauty and wellness regin when she left the sect?'
'In that case, was the reason her Dao Fruit was getting bigger also related to that regin?'
Yu Xiaoyan looked down and could see her toes unimpeded, with no cleavage to get in the way...
At this thought, she clenched her fists in a fit of jealousy.
'No way! Senior Sister can't get bigger all by herself in secret!'
'I want to as well!'
CLICK—
Just then, the door opened.
As soon as Qing Yueqiu stepped out, she found Yu Xiaoyan blocking her path.
"Senior Sister, do you have so incredible secret formula?"
"What secret formula?"
Qing Yueqiu frowned slightly, not understanding what her junior sister was talking about.
"You know..."
Yu Xiaoyan explained in a low voice, her watery eyes filled with a desperate desire to get bigger.
But Qing Yueqiu's pretty face flushed red, and she hurriedly pushed Yu Xiaoyan away.
"What nonsense are you talking about? I don't have anything like that...
We should hurry and find Master and the others. Today is a great day to celebrate Master's wife; let's not keep Master waiting."
Qing Yueqiu strode past Yu Xiaoyan, her steps hurried as she left.
Watching Qing Yueqiu leave, refusing to tell her the secret thod to get bigger, Yu Xiaoyan angrily stomped her small, white-socked foot in the snow by the path.
"Damn it! How can Senior Sister be so stingy!"
"If you won't tell , then fine! What's the use of getting bigger? Even if you do, you still won't get Master's affection, and you won't have any use for that big Dao Fruit!"
Yu Xiaoyan muttered angrily to herself, even using her arms to push her chest together.
"Being small is fine too... Maybe Master likes my type. Being big is so cumberso and not good-looking at all. It's heavy when you walk, and you can't even sleep on your stomach. It's just uncomfortable in every way..."
In her Sea of Consciousness, Yu Gu Nan listened to Yu Xiaoyan, unable to get what she wanted, start listing all the supposed downsides of a large Dao Fruit, and rolled his eyes speechlessly.
'Xiaoxiao... your vision is really this limited.'
...
...
Qing Yueqiu arrived in front of her master's courtyard. Her slender, jade-like fingers unconsciously drifted to her flat abdon, their tips trembling slightly.
'Since Master returned, he's been taking care of Master's wife's cultivation. I haven't had much chance to see him.'
At the thought of soon seeing the person she yearned for day and night, a glimring light rippled in her clear, autumn-water eyes. The corners of her lips curled up unconsciously, revealing two shallow dimples.
"Little baby."
The silver-haired young woman gently pressed her palm against her abdon, her voice as light as a feather's touch.
"Mommy's brought you to see Daddy."
As she spoke that last word, the young woman's long, silver lashes fluttered down in a fluster, casting a shadow on her porcelain-white cheeks. The tips of her ears instantly flushed as crimson as a sunset.
She took a deep breath, the front of her robes rising and falling gently with her breathing.
Once her heartbeat cald, she lifted her chin and resud her usual cold and dignified deanor, though a hint of irrepressible sweetness still lingered at the corners of her eyes.
"Ah, Yueqiu, you're here!"
As soon as she stepped into the courtyard, Ye Liyuan waved at her with a beaming smile, and Lin Qianyan also gave her a kind nod.
Lu Ruoxi, however, sat with a composed air, rely lifting her teacup to take a sip without saying a word.
"Greetings, Master's wife, Sister Lin... and Elder Lu."
After bowing to them in greeting, Qing Yueqiu straightened up and looked around, searching for a certain soone.
"Your master went to get the dishes. Don't worry, he'll be here in a mont."
Ye Liyuan offered a reassuring word, then said to Lin Qianyan beside her:
"That child, Yueqiu, has always been attached to Ah Han since she was little. Sigh, if I ever take a disciple in the future, I hope she's as dutiful as Yueqiu!
I really envy Ah Han for having such a diligent and hardworking disciple like Yueqiu."
"But Yueqiu, you can't be *too* attached to your master. Look how you've spoiled Ah Han; he'll start thinking he's really all that."
"Yes, Master's wife. But it's usually Master who spoils . It doesn't make sense for a disciple to spoil her master..."
Watching the sowhat oblivious Ye Liyuan interact with Qing Yueqiu, Lin Qianyan, who knew the inside story, felt her smile stiffen. In the end, however, she didn't say anything more.
Lu Ruoxi, on the other hand, subconsciously rolled her eyes, feeling rather speechless.
'Junior Sister Ye, are you sure you'd call that being dutiful? What kind of good disciple drools over her own master every day, wanting to be 'dutiful' all the way into his bed!'
As Lu Ruoxi lanted how foolish her junior sister was, a strange sense of responsibility rose within her.
'Since my junior sister is so naive and can't protect her own Dao Companion, then it's up to , her senior sister, to protect our junior brother for her!'
'At least... this way, we keep it all in the family!'
A short while later, Yu Xiaoyan also entered the courtyard.
She and Qing Yueqiu sat in a corner, not participating in the conversation between Master's wife and the other two beauties.
About half an hour later, Pei Yuhang walked in carrying platters of delicious food.
"Sorry, I made a bit too much food, so it took a little longer. Please, everyone, dig in."
"You've worked so hard, Ah Han!"
"Thank you for your hard work, Brother Pei."
"Thank you for your hard work, Master."
"Junior Brother Pei, let join you in the kitchen next ti. This senior sister can cook too, you know."
The bevy of beauties all smiled as they thanked Pei Yuhang for the magnificent feast, and only then did they begin to take their seats.
Just then, Lu Ruoxi took out a specially prepared Spirit Wine and said with a beaming smile:
"Would anyone care for a drink?"
'Plans never go as expected,' Lu Ruoxi thought, 'but I'm still determined to get everyone drunk and then spend so quality ti alone with Junior Brother Pei!'
'Maybe this way will be even more exciting, hmm?'
