The Villainous Eldest Senior Brother and His Yandere Junior Sisters

Defy the heavens!

We must defy the heavens tonight!

Success or failure hinges on this moment!

Lin Xiao admitted that in this life, he had been forced to tell many lies. But at this moment, this sentence was at least ninety-nine percent sincere!

What he hadn't anticipated was that after hearing these words, his beautiful Master's eyes reddened, and she turned away. A long, long silence followed; no words were spoken.

"Thank you for your words just now, Xiao'er."

"In this life of mine, apart from the day I avenged my parents with my own hands, tonight is the most joyous."

"It's just a pity that some things, in the end, are merely 'what-ifs'..." she suddenly let out a soft sigh.

The implication of these words was so clear that Lin Xiao naturally understood! Moreover, this was the first time he had seen his domineering and uninhibitedly magnanimous Master reveal such a soft and feminine side! And it was because of him!

So, his audacious assumption had been correct all along: in his Master's heart, there were indeed feelings for him that transcended those of master and disciple!

Lin Xiao immediately said, "Master, even though you are my Master, my feelings for you are still..."

Before he could finish, he heard Xiao Hongling, her hand resting on a withered tree with gnarled branches, say in a choked voice, "Did you know, this Sky Heart Tree was planted for me by my mother before she passed away. Shortly after she left, it withered."

"After I joined Qinglan to study the Dao, I transplanted it here and tried to nurture it with the Flower-Raising Technique, but I could never revive it."

"Life is also like this, full of helplessness. Even though my cultivation has seen some small success, there are still things I cannot force."

Her words left Lin Xiao feeling somewhat melancholic. He certainly understood. His Master wasn't just referring to the tree, but also to him, Lin Xiao!

Under the reflection of billions of stars, amidst the vibrant, multicolored flowerbeds, the master and disciple, as beautiful as an immortal couple, stood facing each other, looking at one another without words!

The atmosphere grew somewhat somber.

At that moment, countless sweet memories with his Master on Fairy Cliff from this life flooded Lin Xiao's mind...

In a flash, his head grew hot, and he threw all caution to the wind! To hell with sect regulations and master-disciple etiquette! If others could do it, so could Xiao'er! This woman had looked after him for more than ten years; if he didn't show some initiative now, what kind of man would he be!

"Master, if it is what we both desire, then even if all the gods and Buddhas from the Nine Heavens themselves descend, they cannot stop us!"

Lin Xiao's handsome brows rose. He took a step forward, his palm turning as he formed a seal. Streams of peculiar spiritual light flowed from between his fingers! The next instant, he clenched his palm—Divine Skill, achieved!

Yes, it was precisely the advanced Innate Divine Ability derived from his newfound comprehension of the Law of Wood—the Qing Emperor Colorful Art!

Lin Xiao spread his slender fingers. Strands of golden light, like fine sand, sprinkled evenly from his palm, moving like living things as they swiftly burrowed into the soil at the roots of the Sky Heart Tree...

RUSTLE...

The faint sound of vigorous growth filled the air.

Next, under Xiao Hongling's astonished gaze, the surrounding Sky Heart Trees began to grow at a visible rate! Their bent branches straightened! In a mere moment, they slowly began to blossom with lush, vibrant flowers!

Instantly, as if the Spirit of Spring had issued a decree, countless Sky Heart Flowers burst into bloom, their rich fragrance assaulting the senses, instantly weaving a dreamlike ocean of pink!

Witnessing this breathtakingly stunning scene, Xiao Hongling, like a naive young girl, covered her mouth in surprise, her eyes shimmering! In an instant, countless emotions surged through her heart! The tears in her eyes could no longer be suppressed; they streamed down her cheeks!

This was the first time she had cried since she personally killed her demonically corrupted Master at the age of eighteen!

She lifted her head, her phoenix eyes staring blankly.

There, in a sea of pink flowers, stood a handsome man, like a celestial being. With one hand behind his back and a Sky Heart Flower in the other, he smiled at her elegantly and affectionately, saying, "The flower path has never been swept for any guest; these celestial flowers bloom today only for you!"

"Xiao'er!"

At this sight, this moment, catalyzed by countless emotions, Xiao Hongling could no longer suppress the feelings in her heart and flew towards him.

THUMP!

Her tall, soft, phoenix-like body plunged straight into her beloved disciple's broad chest!

It was here! This day had finally arrived!

Feeling the warm, soft touch and enticing fragrance in his arms, Lin Xiao felt as if he were in a dream!

Since his Master was so tall, he had to wrap one arm around her slender body, while the other hand symbolically patted her round, full, black-silk-clad buttocks. It was this tangible touch that finally made him realize...

He, Lin Xiao, had hugged his Master, the peerlessly beautiful supreme goddess from "Emperor," Xiao Hongling!

With a myriad of emotions intertwining, the corners of Lin Xiao's mouth finally couldn't help but lift into a smile.

"Xiao'er..." Xiao Hongling, at this moment, had completely lost her usual domineering Masterly demeanor. Her phoenix eyes were red as she looked at the beloved disciple she had raised. "There are some things from my heart... Master also wants to confide in you tonight. You must listen carefully."

"After tonight, after this wave of emotion passes... I'm afraid Master will never be able to speak of them again!" she said, her alluring red lips parting slightly, exhaling the faint scent of alcohol.

"Mm, Master, please speak. Your disciple is listening," Lin Xiao nodded obediently, his hands tightening their grip. In his life, he had always been carefree and unruly; only in front of this woman would he truly restrain his temperament.

"Alright, then... Master will speak." Xiao Hongling moistened her lips, then seemed to sense something. Looking down, she was surprised to find her disciple's hand resting on her buttocks!

Xiao'er, he...

Never mind, never mind. He's just a child and doesn't understand. I'll indulge him for tonight, she thought, biting her lip to comfort herself. That exquisitely beautiful and holy face instantly became even more flushed.

"Xiao'er, listen," she began, her voice soft. "Over these past ten-odd years that we've known each other as Master and disciple, it might seem that as your Master, I should have been the one caring for and guiding you, but in reality...

"it was you who was silently taking care of Master's daily life.

"Actually, even though Master doesn't like to admit it... but I am very clear in my heart that aside from sword cultivation, where I, Xiao Hongling, am truly unparalleled in this era, in many other aspects... Master is truly... a 'muggle'."

When admitting to being a "muggle," the proud and aloof Fairy Hongling pouted, looking surprisingly and pitiably adorable!

She paused, then continued in a choked voice, "All these years, every time Master woke up with a hangover, you were always by my side. Every time I casually mentioned wanting to eat something, you would be sure to prepare that delicious dish the very next day...

"Also, Master knows that although I am peerlessly beautiful, my way of dealing with people has always been a bit... childlike... no, direct. Over the years, I've offended many Chairmen and Elders. Afterwards, it was always you, as the Chief Disciple, who secretly went to apologize on Master's behalf and mend relationships. This ensured our disciples of Divine Phoenix Peak were not targeted by other factions regarding resource allocation.

"Master has seen all of these things; I just never mentioned them...

"In other words, the growing prosperity of Divine Phoenix Peak these years might seem to be due to Master's capable guidance, but in reality...

"it's all thanks to you, the Eldest Senior Brother who appears unlearned and unskilled to outsiders!"

By the time she finished, Xiao Hongling was weeping uncontrollably.

Listening to her, Lin Xiao was also filled with a mix of emotions. So, all these years, he had thought he had fooled everyone by playing the villain, but he had never truly escaped his Master's discerning eyes! Just as she had said before: from the time he saved that little girl at the age of eight, she had known what kind of person he was at heart!

"Master, these are all things your disciple should do." Lin Xiao's eyes also grew warm. This was the first time he and his Master had truly spoken so honestly and openly to each other!

Once the Sword Tomb instance ends, a series of actions by the Eight Great Demon Sects will immediately follow!

The chances of being alone with Master in the future are probably gone!

It has come to this... It's time to lay my cards on the table!

Looking at that incomparably beautiful face, so close he could feel her breath, Lin Xiao steeled his resolve and declared, word by word, "Master, I truly adm—"

Before he could utter the word "—ire," his face was gently lifted by a pair of snow-white, jade-like hands.

In front of him, that stunningly beautiful face, flushed crimson, her enchanting eyes, tinged with a mesmerizing haze, slowly closed as her face drew nearer, and nearer...

The next instant—

MWAH~

On Lin Xiao's lips, he felt an unprecedentedly warm, tender, and soft sensation!

Ah, this... Was this Fairy Hongling's kiss?! As expected... it was an extraordinary feeling indeed!

At this moment, Lin Xiao's mind blanked out in euphoria; his entire being felt as if it were floating in the clouds!

A long, long time passed. Only then, seeing his Master wiping her lips with a blushing face, did Lin Xiao belatedly realize...

His first true kiss in this lifetime...

Was gone!
