Chapter 217: Chapter 132: Senior and Junior Sisters Practicing Together_2

A person who is disloyal to their own emperor and does not love their country is despised everywhere.

Seeing the girl’s disdain, Jiang Shouzhong was too lazy to explain.

I am a true Chinese, a member of the Young Pioneers, what are Dazhou and the Emperor but trifles.

"Stay still, let Er Liang wash you, and it’s up to you whether you eat or not."

Jiang Shouzhong dropped the command and left the room.

Listening to the man’s footsteps fading, Yelü Miaomiao finally eased her mind, yet melancholy surged in her heart like a tide.

As a pearl of the grassland, how did she end up in such a plight?

Who could have imagined that just the night before, she had been the most esteemed holy princess of Yanrong, yet now, fate had taken many turns, and in one night, she fell from the clouds to the dust, her future unknown.

Thinking about it, the girl’s tears fell once more.

—

Stepping out of the house, Jiang Shouzhong saw Qiuye, who had awakened at some unknown time, now sitting on a stone bench in front of the pond in the courtyard, staring blankly at the clear, ripple-less water.

The girl’s slender figure appeared somewhat lonely and solitary.

"How is your body?"

Jiang Shouzhong walked up to the girl and sat shoulder to shoulder with her.

The soft, gentle breeze stirred the girl’s hair strands, occasionally brushing the man’s face; because of the recent bath, it carried a touch of moisture along with the girl’s unique refreshing hair scent.

Qiuye smiled and gathered her untended hair, saying softly, "I’m fine, I just need some time to recuperate. What about you?"

"I’m much better than you." Jiang Shouzhong stretched lazily and said, "I have a trace of Xia He’s life bead essence inside me, and... well, I recover from injuries quickly."

"That’s good."

Qiuye nodded her head and then fell silent.

Jiang Shouzhong was silent for a while then, watching the girl’s beautiful profile, he spoke softly, "Qiuye, thank you for risking your life to save me, I... "

"You saved me as well; let’s call it even."

The girl’s smile was candid.

Jiang Shouzhong did not know what else to say, and they just sat there, gazing blankly at the pond. It seemed that the wall that had stood between them had not disappeared despite their shared life-and-death ordeal.

In the end, Jiang Shouzhong took the initiative, "It’s still the same proposal from before, I’m willing to marry you. Although we haven’t gone all the way, we’ve done what needed to be done, and if you are willing... I’ll take responsibility and make sure you are not wronged."

"No need, Jiang Mo."

Qiuye’s gaze was clear; her limpid eyes, like orbs of mercury, conveyed letting go as she softly said, "I think, companionship should be about mutual liking, not just responsibility. We won’t be happy if that’s all it is."

Jiang Shouzhong frowned and said, "If I marry you, I will make an effort to like you."

"Then we’ll talk when you do like me."

Qiuye swept back her wind-tousled hair; her sleeve slipped down, revealing an arm whiter than fine silk, freshly bathed and not clad in her usual sturdy attire.

Jiang Shouzhong instinctively grasped the girl’s wrist, moved his lips but made no sound.

Qiuye was startled but did not pull away, gazing at the lake and saying, "Jiang Mo, you are a very, very good man, possibly the best man in the world, at least in my heart."

"Perhaps, this lifetime, I will only like you, but you won’t like only me. Of course, I don’t mind if you like several women, it’s just..."

The girl’s eyes mirrored the reflection in the water, as though she were searching for a thread of confusion hidden deep within the profound water mirror.

She sighed softly, gently pulling her wrist free, "However, I don’t want to stay by your side based only on responsibility. If a day comes when you truly like me... let me know. If I still like you then, and you are willing to marry me, I would be willing."

Jiang Shouzhong was silent.

After a long while, he stood up and said, "Alright, let it be settled then."

The man went behind the girl, took out a thin, off-white string, gathered Qiuye’s loose hair, and tied it gently, saying softly, "Once we’re married, I’ll draw your eyebrows every morning, how about that?"

The girl’s cheeks were a faint red, her beautiful lips lightly pursed as she made a sound of agreement.

But then she shook her head and said, "Not every day, once a month is enough. I am just a concubine, if you paint me every day, your future wife would be unhappy."

"No problem, I’ll paint everyone."

Jiang Shouzhong joked, "When the time comes, we’ll all sleep together, and whoever gets up first will do the painting."

Sleep together?

Qiuye’s face flushed, and after a long pause, she said in a low voice, "Let’s sleep separately, I don’t like sleeping with Dong Xue, she kicks the blankets. I also don’t like sleeping with the eldest sister, she always likes to cuddle us..."

Jiang Shouzhong was a bit stunned, "Why would you sleep with them?"

Qiuye was taken aback, then blushed and said, "I got it wrong, I thought the eldest sister would be with us too."

Jiang Shouzhong laughed wryly, patted the girl’s head, and said teasingly, "If your second sister is willing in the future, just the two of you would be enough for me. I am already satisfied having you both by my sides. I’m not so greedy as to want everyone. If I really wanted to, I’d take your family’s mistress along too."

"The mistress wouldn’t fancy you," Qiuye retorted with a glare.

Suddenly the girl remembered something else, and said seriously, "By the way, we sisters can sense each other, so if someday you and the second sister consummate, and just then the eldest sister and the fourth sister are outside, wouldn’t you also ruin their chastity?"

Jiang Shouzhong’s expression stiffened.

Does that count as ruining their chastity?

But it seemed... to make sense.

Jiang Shouzhong hadn’t thought much about it, waved his hand and laughed, "No problem, I’ll just stay a bit farther from them and pay more attention."

Realizing the seriousness of the situation, Qiuye thought more deeply, "Even if it’s prevented once or twice, there will always be times when we slip up. It’s not realistic to keep the four sisters from ever crossing paths."

The man rubbed his brows, troubled.

Could it really end up with taking everyone in one fell swoop?

Even if he could afford it, could little Jiang actually take on such a responsibility?

——

By the shores of Huailan Lake, the monks of Wuchan Temple were repairing the golden Buddha and the magical formations.

Li Guanshi stood with his hands behind his back, staring at the slightly lowered water level of the lake, his expression indifferent.

Beside him stood a woman.

Clothed in a golden, luxurious long dress, she was like the most dazzling phoenix even in the dark night, exuding nobility and elegance.

It was none other than the Empress, Luo Wanqing.

"Is Yelv Shenye really dead?" Li Guanshi asked softly.

Releasing her Divine Sense, trying to find any trace of that person, Luo Wanqing scoffed coldly, "He hides in the shadows like a turtle, not daring to come out. When your sister was in danger, he didn’t even offer to help, and now he has the nerve to ask me? He’s just as cowardly as that so-called Sword Demon."

"Haven’t you already left the South Sea Holy Sect?"

Li Guanshi laughed, "And later you even made a fierce declaration that you would personally drive me, your junior sister, from the position of Sect Master. Now you’re talking about camaraderie again?"

Luo Wanqing snorted coldly, no longer deigning to respond.

Li Guanshi sighed, "When I first joined the Sect, it was you who taught me how to cultivate. How unpredictable life is."

"That disciple of yours..."

"Your cultivation has improved significantly, sister," Li Guanshi interrupted with narrowed eyes and a smile, "and it seems you’ve finally become a woman. What, after all these years together, have you developed marital feelings for the Emperor? Willing to give yourself to him now?"

Luo Wanqing clenched her fists tightly.

Fury and humiliation surged in her heart.

She remembered Li Guanshi had the ability to divine the heart and body, and had seen that her purity was no longer intact.

Luo Wanqing suddenly smiled broadly, "Hearing your tone, junior sister, are you perhaps planning to serve one husband with me? That’s fine; I’m quite experienced in bed now. I led you into the practice of cultivation in the past, maybe it’s time to lead you through it once again, how about that?"
