Chapter 189: 114. Su Mei: Wanning, can I borrow your Senior Brother Lin?
Lin Xiao was lost in the moment, just about to embrace the tall, mesmerizing phoenix body before him and devour it with passionate kisses...
But he was rudely interrupted!
He opened his eyes to see that his Master, who had just been intimately close to him, was now a hundred meters away!
"Alright... alright, it's getting late. This trial in the Sword Tomb was fraught with unexpected calamities. Xiao'er, you must be physically and mentally exhausted. Hurry back and rest."
"Moreover, I've heard the Demon Sect has been restless lately, and I have a premonition that something significant is about to happen. As the Eldest Senior Brother of our sect, you must set an example. Lead your junior sisters to intensify their cultivation, enhance their strength, and prepare for the coming changes."
While Lin Xiao was still lost in the intoxicating passion, Xiao Hongling had already turned around, speaking in a thoroughly serious tone.
At this moment, she instantly regained the solemn dignity of a Branch Chairman!
It was as if everything that had just transpired... was merely a dream!
No, no, what's the meaning of this, flirting with me and then running off?
At this instant, Lin Xiao's blood surged. His Formless Sword Body had expanded to its absolute limit. How could he possibly endure this?
He gritted his teeth and said, "Master, just now... you... you kissed me."
"Ah?"
Xiao Hongling covered her crimson cheeks and stammered, "D-don't... don't talk nonsense! The one who was... intimate... with you just now wasn't your Master! The one who teased you was the eighteen-year-old Hongling Fairy, who dazzled the Eastern Region two hundred years ago. What has it got to do with me?"
Seriously? That's her excuse!?
Isn't this just a classic 'hit and run'?
Lin Xiao felt a crushing despair, a feeling of being thoroughly used!
"Wait a moment, Master!"
Seeing the tall, alluring figure ahead attempting to depart on her sword, Lin Xiao was unwilling to give up. He said urgently, "Right! Master! The surprise! What about the 'surprise' you promised me before I entered the Sword Tomb?"
"As the Chairman of a branch and a paragon for others, are you planning to go back on your word?!" Lin Xiao gritted out.
Oh, I actually forgot...
Oh well, since this boy has such a peculiar fetish, I suppose I should give it to him!
Xiao Hongling's cheeks burned, hot and crimson. She bit her lower lip, seemingly making an incredibly difficult decision!
About half a minute later, under Lin Xiao's astonished gaze, the noble and beautiful Fairy Hongling in the distance squatted slightly. She reached down to her long, shapely, and utterly unique black-stockinged legs. Carefully, from the top of her thighs, she began to slowly roll the black stockings down the alluring curves of her legs...
"Master, you're..."
Lin Xiao's eyes were practically glued to the sight.
Holy hell!
She couldn't possibly be thinking of...
Scenes from countless classic romance films from his previous life flashed through his mind!
Instantly, his mouth went dry, and he found it impossible to compose himself.
While Lin Xiao was lost in his reverie, the stocking, thin as a cicada's wing and propelled by True Power, hurtled towards his face. He had no time to dodge!
Because Lin Xiao was so astonished, his mouth hung open, and the stocking almost flew right into it!
At this moment, feeling the stocking on his face—still warm from his Master's leg and faintly scented with the sweet perspiration from her toes—Lin Xiao felt both bewildered and strangely thrilled!
"Alright! This item, Master... gives it to you!! From now on..."
"You're not allowed to steal them anymore!"
A somewhat strained female voice drifted from the distance.
Lin Xiao looked up in surprise.
He saw his Master, clutching her cheeks, tap her jade-like foot and transform into an Escape Light, fleeing as if for her life!
No way? She wouldn't actually consider *this* the surprise, would she?
Your disciple isn't a pervert, you know!
Lin Xiao, an expression of utter speechlessness on his face, held the black stocking. He sighed and placed it back into his storage space.
After all, this item was a hard-won reward from the system.
As the saying goes, put everything to good use!
Perhaps he'd have to find a new owner for it in the future!
Sigh, but then again, if Master had really been as easy as Wanning today, it just wouldn't have felt like her.
No matter what, I did get her first kiss, didn't I? As for the rest...
I'll just take it one step at a time.
Lin Xiao shook his head and rose into the air on his sword.
「That night.」
Lotus Blessed Abode.
A stunningly beautiful woman, clad in a tantalizingly sheer nightgown that offered faint glimpses of her magnificent figure, tossed and turned, unable to find sleep.
Xiao'er, that eighteen-year-old girl, Xiao Hongling of the past, has already given the first kiss of her life to the man she loves most. She has no regrets.
As for your Master...
Sigh, how could I, your Master, shamelessly vie for affection with my own disciple? I, Xiao Hongling, have maintained my prestige my whole life; I could never do something so demeaning!
Enough, enough. You and Yurong are childhood sweethearts, both young, brilliant prodigies in your prime. A talented man and a beautiful woman, a match made in heaven—it couldn't be better! Your union will surely bring even greater prosperity to our Divine Phoenix Peak!
Your Master... is truly happy for you from the bottom of my heart!
She murmured to herself, desperately trying to force a benevolent smile!
Yet, she found that the missing piece in her heart, no matter what, could not be filled!
For a moment, her breathing grew rapid, and an unquenchable restlessness filled her chest!
Damn it... when I kissed Xiao'er... what on earth was I thinking?
On the bed, the peerlessly beautiful woman closed her eyes, trying to recapture the sensation of that moment, her beautiful legs involuntarily rubbing against each other...
No!
According to the script in my mind, the Qinglan Catastrophe is imminent. Although the script doesn't detail the specifics, I must take action now!
This matter... is most likely related to Ye Chen!
Sigh, I wonder if Senior Moon Princess can successfully complete her mission and guide this so-called Son of Destiny to his utter ruin!
That night, countless sighs echoed within the Lotus Blessed Abode.
「Meanwhile, Lin Xiao returned from Fairy Cliff to his lodgings by Sword Control.」
Due to the effects of the Hehuan Sect's Heavenly Human Secret technique, his entire body felt as if it were on fire, an unbearable torment!
Oh well, there are still Photo Stones in my room. I just achieved a grand slam in the Sword Tomb trial, so it's about time I rewarded myself...
Thinking this, Lin Xiao gently pushed the door open. Upon entering his bedroom, he was immediately startled!
By the moonlight filtering through the window, he could vaguely discern a young girl with twin ponytails and a delicate, lovely face. Her petite, rounded buttocks, clad in white silk, pointed upwards as she lay prone on his bed, motionless, apparently fast asleep!
"Yingying!?"
Damn, don't tell me this girl waited up for me all night?
At this thought, Lin Xiao felt a pang of tenderness.
He tiptoed forward and gently covered his junior sister with the blanket.
Then, with a look full of affection, he lightly stroked her small head.
However, the moment his hand touched her twin ponytails, scenes of fierce battles in the Sacred Beast Garden and the Hongyan Pavilion's latrines uncontrollably flooded his mind.
In an instant, the irrepressible feeling within him reached its peak!
Fine then! This girl, Yingying, has bullied me relentlessly in the past!
If I don't teach her a lesson and make her understand that an elder brother is like a father, then being Eldest Senior Brother would be pointless!
With this in mind, Lin Xiao retrieved the bottle of Seven Emotions Demon Desire Powder, a system reward, from his storage space.
Yes.
His initial plan for this item had been to give it to this little junior sister of his.
This had nothing to do with any malicious intent!
It was purely for the greater cause of resisting the Demon Sect and saving the sect!
According to the item's description, once used, both parties would experience a significant increase in their cultivation level after they cultivated together!
In the original novel's plot, it was Lu Yingying who used her Beast Control Spirit Body to revive the Qinglan Sect's ancient guardian sacred beast, the Eight-Clawed White Hornless Dragon, thereby blocking the Demon Sect's first wave of attacks!
However, in the original timeline, Lu Yingying only possessed a Golden Core cultivation level. Her True-Origin Magical Power wasn't sustainable, causing the Eight-Clawed White Hornless Dragon to fall back asleep midway.
Otherwise, they could have achieved a decisive victory in the first confrontation, greatly boosting morale!
So, should I, for the sake of the greater good, allow Yingying to make this sacrifice?
Lin Xiao wrestled with himself internally.
Ultimately, as he gazed at the cute, sleeping face of the young girl, Lin Xiao's heart softened, and he decided against it.
She's the junior sister I dote on and cherish the most.
If a sacrifice must be made, it shouldn't be hers!
Lin Xiao shook his head.
Well then...
Should I choose Yurong or... Wanning?
Noticing his body's increasingly strange reactions, Lin Xiao hurriedly left the room. After a moment's hesitation, he flew on his sword towards Phoenix Caw Peak!
「Four bells in the early morning.」
Phoenix Caw Peak, Fairy Pool forbidden zone.
Two figures, a young man and woman, clad in snow-white robes and possessing breathtaking beauty, were practicing an intimately synchronized sword technique!
It was...
"Purple Green Twin Swords, Third Form—Moonlit Eve, Blossoming Morn!"
"Senior Brother Lin, Wanning is getting serious now!" Zhu Wanning beamed, her wrist flicking. Instantly, Sword Intent surged, and she executed a series of beautiful sword flourishes!
"Junior Sister Zhu, you've been smiling non-stop for the two hours I've been here tonight. Are you really this happy?" Lin Xiao shook his head with a wry smile.
The originally ice-cold Fairy Zhu from the novel... her persona had completely crumbled before me.
"Of course! Just seeing Senior Brother Lin makes me very happy! I don't know why!" Zhu Wanning replied with a shy smile, a touch of tenderness now evident on her sword's edge.
Lin Xiao also lifted his Longsword, gently meeting her advance.
They exchanged moves, and in the blink of an eye, they had sparred for over ten rounds.
With every glance exchanged, the air crackled with a sweet intimacy, so much so that even the nearby spirit sparrows and birds fled, unwilling to watch.
"Wanning, we... uh, let's focus on practicing our sword techniques properly."
"Otherwise, our perfectly good Purple Green Twin Sword technique will turn into a flirtatious exchange of glances." Lin Xiao responded with a helpless smile, then his expression suddenly became intensely serious. "Watch carefully! Senior Brother is coming in now!"
The next moment, he tossed aside his ordinary short sword and drew his Lifebound Spirit Sword—Shadow Moon—from its spiritual sword case.
Purple Green Heaven Conglomerate Sword!
He silently recited the sword scripture, his right hand holding the sword as one might hold an incense stick, his left hand forming a sword seal. The sword rhythm around him materialized into an enormous purple sword!
WHOOSH!
He thrust the sword forward with the force of a thunderbolt, directly shattering Zhu Wanning's Sword Qi barrier. Finally, their two swords intertwined, creating a powerful storm of Sword Qi that slashed towards the heavens!
RUMBLE! RUMBLE! RUMBLE!
The sky and earth changed color, and the wind and clouds recoiled!
"Senior Brother Lin! I can feel it! The compatibility of our twin swords and their power have both increased by more than thirty percent!" Zhu Wanning exclaimed, her small face lifted in joyful surprise.
"Yes." Lin Xiao also felt quite moved. Looking at the beautiful girl before him, he couldn't help but wipe the sweat from her brow. "Wanning, you're truly a genius."
"No, no!" Praised by the man she admired, the naturally proud Zhu Wanning shook her head shyly. "It's all thanks to Senior Brother Lin's guidance!"
At this very moment, gazing at the handsome man before her, who looked like a Fallen Immortal, her expression was shy and humble, exactly like that of a star-struck fan!
"Pfft." Lin Xiao couldn't help but chuckle, thinking to himself that if those readers from his past life who were infatuated with Fairy Zhu saw her persona crumble to this extent, they would probably cough up three liters of blood.
Just as the two faced each other, drawing closer and closer, about to embrace, a gentle female voice sounded from behind them.
"Wanning dear, why don't you take a little rest and lend your Senior Brother Lin to your Master for a bit? You wouldn't mind, would you?"
Hearing this voice, Lin Xiao's heart skipped a beat.
Turning around, he saw a stunningly beautiful woman, her hair styled in an elegant noblewoman's bun. She was both alluring and dignified, exuding the mature charm of a sophisticated lady.
It was the most senior Martial Uncle Su of the Qinglan Sect!
