Cultivating with Bragging System

Ji Zidian wanted to die. Yes, in the most literal sense of the word. This world no longer had any use for her.

Senior Brother, please just kill me! Seriously!

Heaven only knew. As she sat on the edge of the bed, her heart was filled with anticipation, her thoughts running wild. In just under an hour, she had switched between more than a dozen different poses. Each one was more seductive than the last, each one enough to make one's heart pound and pulses race. Just as she settled on a final pose so provocative it made her want to curse herself—"Damn it, Ji Zidian, you shameless vixen!"—a group of people burst into the room, inflicting immeasurable trauma upon her soul.

Ji Zidian, oh, Ji Zidian! You really let lust get to your head! What shameful things were you even thinking about? Couldn't you have used your Divine Sense to check on the situation outside beforehand? Their conversation was so loud, how could you have possibly missed it? And look what's happened now! I've disgraced myself completely! How will I ever be able to face Senior Brother again? Waaah...

Ji Zidian's mind was in utter chaos.

If I have sinned, then let Senior Brother Wang Xiu be the one to punish me! Don't let a whole crowd see me in such an embarrassing state! The only silver lining in this catastrophe is that Senior Brother Wang Xiu is the only man in this group. Otherwise, I would have truly summoned a few bolts of heavenly lightning to annihilate myself along with everyone else! Nobody gets to live!

…

The room was very quiet.

Ji Zidian, now changed into a set of plain clothes, sat primly on the edge of the bed. With her feet together and her head bowed, she looked like a child who had done something wrong.

Wang Xiu cleared his throat a few times, trying to hide his awkwardness.

My heart is full of regret! What on earth happened? Hadn't Junior Sister Ji just come out of seclusion? Why was she in my room, on my bed, and wearing… that kind of outfit waiting for me? Did I miss something important? Then again, Junior Sister Ji, if you wanted to play this kind of game, couldn't you have just sent me a discreet message? I would've sent the others away. Having dinner a few hours late wouldn't have been a problem at all. In fact, if we were having fun, putting dinner off until tomorrow night would have been fine, too! Even not eating at all wouldn't have been completely out of the question. Argh! But now look at this mess. How infuriating! Well, at least I don't think I looked particularly flustered just now. If they misunderstood and thought I'm into this kind of thing, that would be bad!

…

Jiang Ling'er's gaze kept drifting to Ji Zidian, her mind unable to forget the scene she had witnessed upon entering the room.

I'm completely stunned. I never realized Senior Sister Ji's figure was that amazing! She seems to be around my age, right? How is she… so big? So perky? It looks… so good! That stinky Senior Brother was practically gawking. But then again, it's no wonder. Even I, a girl, enjoyed the view, to say nothing of him!

At this thought, she couldn't help but look down at her own budding chest, a look of self-conscious frustration on her face.

When on earth will I finally grow up!

…

Mo Wuwei also felt as if the door to a new world had been opened. As a woman dedicated to her scholarly pursuits, "unkempt" was her middle name. In her eyes, as long as clothes were wearable, they were all the same. A person's inner qualities were what mattered most.

But now, it seemed she had been mistaken.

I consider my looks and figure to be no worse than Junior Sister Ji's. But Junior Brother Wang Xiu has never looked at me with that kind of gaze before. When he's with me, he only ever seems to show admiration and praise, always treating me with immense gentleness. I used to think that was a good thing! But in that instant, I had an epiphany. I don't want to be admired. I don't even want to be treated gently by my Junior Brother.

She adjusted her glasses, imagining Wang Xiu staring at her with that same intense gaze. Her long legs subconsciously straightened.

…

The first to speak was Xiao Qingyu.

She cast a resentful glance between Ji Zidian and Wang Xiu, then shook her head. Standing up, she walked over to Ji Zidian with a look of pure anticipation. "Junior Sister Ji, that outfit you were wearing… which shop made it? It's gorgeous!"

"Ah?" Ji Zidian was slow to react, her hand clutching her skirt frozen in place.

Xiao Qingyu took her hand and chided good-naturedly, "What's the matter, you don't want to tell me? Afraid your Senior Sister will steal your thunder?"

Ji Zidian quickly waved her hands. "No, that's not it! The dress was a gift from my dad… I mean, my aunt. I don't know where it was made. If Senior Sister wants to know, I can ask when I get back…"

Xiao Qingyu teased, "You have to go back and ask? What, are you still worried? Relax, your Senior Sister's figure is nowhere near as good as yours. I couldn't pull off that kind of look!"

Ji Zidian blushed and shook her head. "That's not true, Senior Sister Xiao is stunning, too. I just really don't know!"

She hesitated, then cautiously raised her head, not daring to look at Wang Xiu. "Did it… really look good?"

Xiao Qingyu smiled beautifully. "Of course it looked good. You just didn't notice, but a certain man's eyes were about to pop out of his head… Giggle… Isn't that right, Junior Sister Jiang, Junior Sister Mo?"

Jiang Ling'er nodded enthusiastically. "Mhm, mhm!"

Mo Wuwei also blushed slightly and added, "It really did look beautiful!"

I didn't! That wasn't me! Don't be ridiculous!

Wang Xiu desperately wanted to deny it, but seeing the hopeful look in Ji Zidian's eyes, he spoke. "Junior Sister is already breathtakingly beautiful. You look good in anything, and that outfit just now… even more so!"

Hearing their words, Ji Zidian's wildly beating heart finally calmed down, and her palms stopped sweating.

Xiao Qingyu spoke again, "Junior Sister, you've been in seclusion for a few months. How is it your skin seems even better than before? Did you secretly use some kind of miracle elixir?"

Ji Zidian beamed with secret delight and shook her head. "Not at all!"
