Chapter 44: Chapter 44: Sorry, I was wrong! I dare to do it again next time!

Liang Yi ultimately entered the room with guilty steps – all for the sake of having his little junior sister finish the porridge he had painstakingly made!

Su Youyi, sitting on the bed with her legs covered by a blanket and her hands hugging her knees, looked at the youth bringing porridge into the room.

The room, tinted with the warm yellow of the lamp, carried a somewhat awkward atmosphere.

"What are you doing lying there?" Liang Yi chose to break the silence.

"I was feeling a bit dizzy just now, so I thought I’d rest in senior brother’s room for a while."

"┑(￣Д￣)┍"

Such a fake excuse, considering her own room was right next door, but since little junior sister said so, Liang Yi felt embarrassed to call her out and could only pretend to believe her.

"The porridge is ready, shall we drink it first?"

"Mhm."

Su Youyi’s response was so faint that Liang Yi nearly didn’t catch it.

Liang Yi slowly walked to the side of the bed, planning to hand the bowl to his junior sister, but she had no intention whatsoever of reaching out to take it!

"I want senior brother to feed me~" Su Youyi said with a flushed face, making a more unreasonable request.

"(乂｀д´)!"

Do you think you’re a three-year-old child, needing your senior brother to feed you porridge. How do you want to be fed, mouth to mouth?

Liang Yi internally launched into a mad tirade, but outwardly, he still had to maintain a smile!

"Alright!"

What else could he do with such a junior sister? Just spoil her!

He sat directly at the edge of the bed, and with a spoon began feeding Su Youyi the porridge – each spoonful followed by him blowing on it to cool it down, not even considering that a Fourth Realm Cultivator like his junior sister could possibly be scalded by a bowl of porridge!

"Burp." After drinking the last spoonful, Su Youyi let out a light burp, her face instantly blushing, yet she still pouted and reached out to Liang Yi.

"Ai, always causing trouble." Liang Yi helplessly wiped the porridge from the corner of Su Youyi’s mouth and casually placed the bowl on the table.

"The porridge is finished, and it doesn’t seem like you’re dizzy anymore, so let’s go back to your own courtyard!"

Liang Yi made a vague gesture with his right hand, pointing towards his junior sister’s room.

"Wuwuwu, senior brother doesn’t love me anymore!"

Unexpectedly, Su Youyi buried her face in the blanket over her knees and started to sob.

"Why start crying all of a sudden?"

Liang Yi figured it out. His junior sister may seem meek and gracefully demure in front of others, but when alone with him, she doesn’t hesitate to strike, each blow precisely hitting his weak spots. She’s quite the mischievous spirit!

Even knowing that there’s a ninety-nine percent chance that junior sister is pretending to cry, Liang Yi wouldn’t ignore the one percent chance.

"Wuwu, senior brother doesn’t like me anymore. In the past... in the past on the mountain, senior brother would always tell me bedtime stories and coax me to sleep every night," Su Youyi said, her face buried in the blanket, so her voice sounded somewhat muffled.

"Is that so?" Liang Yi touched his nose. He didn’t know how his past "self" used to take care of his junior sister, but what if what she said was true?

But he never considered why bedtime stories had to be told on his own bed.

"Uh-huh, it’s true!" Su Youyi lifted her head and spoke loudly, her face displaying a perfectly measured mix of grievance and melancholy. Then she quickly buried her head back, afraid that her senior brother would see the triumphant smile of her little ruse.

Taking advantage of her senior brother’s amnesia, she hurried to express all the things she’d wanted to do but never dared to, confident that he wouldn’t refuse her! When she was younger, they used to sleep together every night as he told her stories, but as they grew up, he even forbade her to sleep with him!

"You are indeed a genius! Hehe!" Su Youyi giggled to herself.

Liang Yi looked at his junior sister doubtfully, feeling as if he was teetering on the edge of being hoodwinked.

"Well, I’ll tell you a story tonight that you haven’t heard before." After giving it some thought, Liang Yi decided to follow his junior sister’s suggestion. It’s just telling stories, after all. In his past life, he had even managed to lull the family cat to sleep!

"Yay!" Su Youyi excitedly lifted her head, shrunk her body downwards, lay on her side, and looked up at her senior brother sitting on the bed edge, her eyes brimming with eager anticipation.

Liang Yi planned to ask his master tomorrow if there really was such a practice, but since he had agreed for now, he wouldn’t go back on his word.

He rummaged through his mind’s inventory of stories, finding the fairy tales of Hans Christian Andersen the most familiar. He chose "The Little Match Girl."

Liang Yi cleared his throat and, under the glow of the lamp, began to narrate the story bit by bit.

···········

"People found a little girl frozen to death in the corner, her face glowing with radiance, a smile showing on her lips. Around her scattered matchsticks littered the ground, and in her small hand, she still clutched one."

By the time Liang Yi finished the very last sentence, Su Youyi on the bed had already begun to snore softly.

Looking at his junior sister in deep sleep, the warm yellow light made her already picturesque features all the more enchanting, capturing Liang Yi’s gaze so much he couldn’t look away, subconsciously staring at her.

With a sigh of resignation, Liang Yi muttered softly, "A girl must be demure; one mustn’t casually lie on a boy’s bed—it can be very dangerous."

Having said that, he gently picked up his junior sister and tiptoed her back to the room next door.

And just as Liang Yi closed the door behind him, the apparently sleeping Su Youyi abruptly opened her eyes, annoyed with herself. Why couldn’t her senior brother catch on? The books clearly didn’t say it would be like this!

For Fourth Realm Su Youyi to deceive First Realm Liang Yi into thinking she was asleep was all too easy.

But then she thought about taking advantage of her senior brother’s amnesia to proceed like this and felt somewhat ashamed.

"I’m sorry, Senior Brother! I was wrong! I won’t dare again!"

Although she didn’t achieve her ultimate goal, being able to lie down on her senior brother’s bed once more was a significant step forward for her!

Su Youyi adjusted the covers and lay back down, her lips curling into a sweet smile as she fell into a deep sleep.

And after returning to his own room and closing the door, Liang Yi shook his head.

He was not oblivious to his junior sister’s affections, but she was only fifteen years old—too young! He was also too weak, with the Devouring Spirit Sect sending menacing glances his way.

He must grow stronger quickly; otherwise, when the players arrive in half a year, he’ll lack the strength to stand as their pillar, utterly helpless against those chaotic and foolish players.

At this thought, Liang Yi felt a sense of urgency he hadn’t experienced in a long time.

After lying on the bed, the scent of his junior sister still lingered in his nose, leaving Liang Yi restless and unable to sleep. After tossing and turning for a long time, Liang Yi finally decided to get up and cultivate. Lying down was too torturing—a man could hardly withstand it.

Cultivation didn’t offer much experience, but every little bit contributed to a larger goal. Years and months of accumulation would result in a significant amount of experience—there’s no making a thousand miles without taking the initial step, no rivers and seas without the gathering of streams!

Liang Yi slowly circulated his Endless Dao, entering a state of cultivation.
