"Is it appropriate for you to call sister?" Nalan Yanran’s face showed a trace of surprise.
If Xu Wendong called her Sect Leader Nalan, or aunt, she could accept it.
After all, she was the elder.
But calling her sister caused her heart to flutter.
Because she couldn’t rember how many years it had been since anyone had called her that.
"It seems a little inappropriate." Xu Wendong showed a naive expression, scratching his head, "It’s just... in my life, all beautiful won should be called sister!"
Nalan Yanran’s heart skipped a beat, she didn’t expect Xu Wendong to say such a thing.
She forced herself to remain calm, smiled and said, "As long as you like it, you can call whatever you want."
Xu Wendong inwardly disagreed.
If I called you baby, would you agree?
Despite this, he pretended to be happy and asked, "In that case, doesn’t Brother Wan have to call little uncle?"
Nalan Yanran looked embarrassed, "Um... if you call sister, indeed my son should call you little uncle."
Xu Wendong quickly shook his head, "No, no, no, how could I take advantage of Brother Wan?"
"There’s nothing wrong with that!" Nalan Yanran smiled brightly, "After all, you’ve previously saved a Heavenly Pride of the Yongzhou Cultivation World, you’re considered a benefactor to our Yongzhou Cultivation World."
"As they say, a life-saving grace surpasses everything, it wouldn’t be improper for my son to call you uncle."
Strangely.
When she heard Xu Wendong decline to call her sister, she felt a pang of disappointnt.
Xu Wendong nodded excitedly, "Then I’ll dare to call you god-sister!"
Nalan Yanran’s face instantly blushed charmingly, like a shy little woman.
She inexplicably felt that the term god-sister was sowhat improper.
Xu Wendong asked curiously, "God-sister, why are you here at this late hour?"
Nalan Yanran snapped out of it, replied, "I heard you previously saved my son, so I specifically ca to visit."
Xu Wendong understood, promptly made an inviting gesture, "Sister, please co inside!"
"It’s late, sister won’t enter your courtyard." Nalan Yanran smiled brightly, taking out a Jade Gourd, "Inside is my sect’s special Hundred Bone Wine, a gift to you, as a thank you."
Xu Wendong imdiately put on a stern face, "We already consider ourselves siblings, isn’t saying that too formal? If I accept your Hundred Bone Wine, wouldn’t that be slapping my own face?"
Nalan Yanran didn’t expect Xu Wendong to suddenly act sternly, feeling nervous because it had been thousands of years since anyone had gotten angry at her.
Without much thinking, she imdiately said, "Brother, I didn’t an it like that..."
"I..."
"You..."
"Alright, alright, let’s just consider this jar of Hundred Bone Wine as a testimony of our sibling bond, would that be fine?"
Seeing her full of tension, Xu Wendong sighed, "Since that’s the case, I humbly accept. How about tomorrow at noon, I host a banquet at the Listening Rain Pavilion to entertain god-sister, I hope you can grace us with your presence!"
Seeing Xu Wendong wasn’t angry anymore, Nalan Yanran also relaxed, smiled slightly, "Alright, then we’ll et at the Listening Rain Pavilion tomorrow!"
Xu Wendong put away the jar of Hundred Bone Wine carefully, whispered, "Let’s go, I’ll see you ho!"
Nalan Yanran, "No need, I can go back myself."
Xu Wendong disagreed, shaking his head, "It’s late at night, how can I be assured that sister would go back alone?"
Nalan Yanran smiled wryly, "This is Yanzhou City, the safest place in all Nine Provinces, nothing will happen to ."
Xu Wendong said, "I know this is Yanzhou City, and I know sister is a Golden Core Peak expert, but so what?"
"Since we call ourselves siblings, as a younger brother, I have a duty to see sister ho safely at night."
"Even if there’s no danger on the road, at least there’s companionship."
Boom!
A simple sentence was like a bolt from the blue in Nalan Yanran’s mind.
Xu Wendong’s words, ’Even if there’s no danger on the road, at least there’s companionship,’ deeply touched her heart.
Because.
She had been alone for a long ti, so long that her heart was numb, lacking the motivation to live.
And now.
She suddenly understood.
It’s not that the world isn’t colorful enough.
But there’s no one to share life with!
At this mont.
Her gaze towards Xu Wendong softened, maybe he was liked by won not just because he’s handso.
Nor because his deeds were astonishing.
But.
He understood a woman’s heart!
"Since that’s the case, I’ll trouble brother to see ho!" Nalan Yanran smiled, walking side by side with Xu Wendong under the night sky.
The hazy starlight and moonlight cascaded over the two of them.
Upon the quiet Yanzhou City.
As if eternal.
"I heard you ca from the mundane world?" Nalan Yanran broke the silence, curiously asking.
Xu Wendong responded with a sound, the matter of him coming from the mundane world was not secret.
Nalan Yanran’s eyes flashed with longing, "The mundane world, must be very prosperous, right?"
Xu Wendong, "Technology is quite advanced, if sister wishes to visit the mundane world, once I find my mother, I’ll take you to experience life there."
Nalan Yanran curiously asked, "Is your mother in the Nine Provinces?"
"Yes." Xu Wendong sighed lightly, "But I don’t know where she is."
"By the way, sister, do you know the surna Luo?"
Nalan Yanran shook her head, "The Minor World within the Nine Provinces has many surnas, but I’ve never heard of the Luo Clan."
Xu Wendong shrugged, smiling, "Actually, not finding it is not that big of a deal."
Nalan Yanran looked surprised, "Not finding your birth mother, don’t you feel regret?"
Xu Wendong shook his head, "Finding mother would surely lead to disappointnt, but I don’t feel regret, because I’ve tried my best to look, that’s enough!"
"For so things, results are important, but what matters more is the process." His deanor was calm, revealing a carefree attitude.
Nalan Yanran admired Xu Wendong’s mindset, as anyone else could hardly be as carefree as he was.
During the conversation, Nalan Yanran arrived at her residence.
She suddenly regretted.
Shouldn’t have walked so quickly.
Because if she walked slower, she could have spent more ti with Xu Wendong.
Xu Wendong said, "Sister, it’s getting late, you should rest early!"
Nalan Yanran hesitated, then gathered her courage and nervously asked, "Why don’t you co in and sit for a while?"
She knew inviting a man to her residence at night was inappropriate, but she couldn’t bear to part with Xu Wendong.
Because being with Xu Wendong, she felt particularly relaxed, without any pressure, and he did not treat her as the high and mighty Sect Master of the Myriad Beast Sect.
Xu Wendong chuckled bitterly, "Maybe next ti, if I don’t go back now, my sister-in-law will definitely devour ."
Nalan Yanran laughed, "You fear won?"
"That’s called love, how can it be fear? You should go in, I’m heading back now!" Xu Wendong said with a smile, then turned his back and waved, gradually disappearing from Nalan Yanran’s sight.
Just turning a corner into an alley, Xu Wendong encountered an intoxicated Wan Jie.
"Junior Brother Xu, why are you here?" Wan Jie asked drunkenly.
Xu Wendong, "I just escorted your mom back."
Wan Jie suddenly shivered, his cloudy eyes flashing a cold light, "Why were you with my mother this late at night?"
