Chapter 155: Senior Brother, I Was Here First
A silver moon hung high in the night sky. After the Crimson Refining Five Lotus Formation was broken, the Spirit Shaking Formation of Chi Long Mansion was able to completely suppress the Extreme Flame Spiritual Energy.
The continuous light rain of recent days had made the scorching summer around Chi Long Mansion cool and humid.
A beam of flying sword light rose from Du Chun City, drawing an arc in the sky before heading towards Chi Long Mansion at full speed.
When Ye Anping arrived, he encountered quite a few patrolling mansion guards, but because he was wearing a Xuan Xing Sect uniform and had a disciple’s Identity Token hanging from his belt, he had a smooth journey.
A cool breeze rustled across his handsome face, adding a touch of grace and composure.
Ye Anping flew his sword while contemplating his junior sister’s recent request.
His junior sister wanted a child, which was a perfectly reasonable request, but it was a difficult problem for him personally.
—He couldn’t develop physiological reactions towards his junior sister.
If he were to find the root of the problem from a medical perspective, it would be that his body had developed something like “antibodies” towards his junior sister’s scent and hormones.
It was similar to how elderly couples often experienced a decline in frequency and duration of their intimate lives. The reason was that his central nervous system had become accustomed to the hormonal scent emitted by his junior sister.
Therefore, his central nervous system couldn’t produce enough dopamine, endorphins, testosterone, gonadotropins, and acetylcholine in his body.
“If all else fails, I’ll try to steal some of my father’s medicine when I return to Hundred Lotus Sect later, but…”
Ye Anping showed a distressed expression. He and his junior sister had been trained since childhood to be immune to all poisons. Things like “mind-controlling incense” and “seductive incense” were useless to them.
However, he didn’t know if the pills his father usually used to restore vigor would work on him.
Lost in thought, Ye Anping arrived at the location of the spiritual spring he remembered.
This was deep in the mountains, and there was no road leading here. The surroundings were quiet and desolate, with only the chirping of birds and the gentle blowing of the wind. The spiritual spring was located in the center of a cluster of phoenix trees.
Now, there was only a thin white mist in the pool. The edges were entirely made of earthen stones, much like a natural hot spring.
Ye Anping scanned the surroundings with his spiritual sense, ensuring no one was nearby, before walking to the edge of the spiritual spring. He dipped his hand in to test the water temperature, which was about the same as bathwater.
At first glance, the spring water looked like a pot of fresh fish soup, milky white and oily, with the bottom of the pool completely hidden.
But when he buried his face in the water and opened his eyes, he realized that it was just a layer of milky white spiritual energy floating on the surface of the water, resembling cream. The water below was crystal clear.
“Mmm…”
Ye Anping pursed his lips and sighed lightly. He assumed that Chi Long Mansion had likely not discovered this spiritual spring yet, otherwise, they would definitely have protected it and set up restrictions, or something similar. After all, a spiritual spring was a rather precious earthly treasure.
Conveniently, this saved him the trouble of submitting a bath application like he would have had to do with Li Longling.
After confirming everything was fine, Ye Anping began to undress, revealing his body to the night, making the moon in the sky seem a little shy.
Ye Anping generally disliked wearing undershirts or T-shirts. At first glance, he looked like a slender young master, but in reality, his physique was extremely well-built, with well-defined abdominal muscles and a particularly clear V-cut.
He actually paid a lot of attention to his physique. Most cultivators who underwent arduous training would develop muscles like stone. But he had already anticipated this, using pills to condition himself and his junior sister, and had deliberately avoided turning himself and Pei Lianxue into “Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson” and “Queen of Protein.”
He stepped into the pool, found a relatively flat spot, leaned against a rock in the pool, and sat down. He immersed himself from the neck down into the water, closed his eyes, released all the spiritual energy from his Qi sea into the pool, and then redistributed the water and wood dual-element spiritual energy into his meridians.
Warm currents flowed through his body, and Ye Anping relaxed. He practiced the six-character breathing technique, inhaling and exhaling deeply, preparing to soak for twoHours before returning to sleep with his junior sister.
Clouds drifted across the sky, slowly covering the moon, which had been blushing because of Ye Anping’s appearance.
Suddenly, two rustling sounds caught Ye Anping’s attention, causing him to prick up his ears.
Someone was coming?
He slowly opened his eyes and, through the white mist above the pool, vaguely saw two or three figures standing at the edge of the pond.
“Miss, no one is here. I brought seven or eight maidservants from the mansion to patrol the surroundings. If anyone approaches, they will be driven away. Miss, please bathe with peace of mind.”
“Mmm.”
Li Longling nodded. With the help of the maidservant Ling’er, she slowly removed her outer clothes and underskirt. Then, she tentatively dipped her toes into the pool, testing the water elegantly, before stepping in slowly.
Once she was half submerged in the pool, Li Longling withdrew her hand from Ling’er’s to avoid getting her dress wet.
“Ling’er, you go patrol the surroundings. I’m fine alone.”
“Miss, Ling’er can also help you. This spirit pool hasn’t been repaired yet, and there might be small rocks at the bottom. If you happen to fall later…”
“It’s alright.”
“Then fine… If you need anything, Miss, just call me. I’ll be nearby.”
“Mmm…”
Listening to the conversation between the mistress and her servant, Ye Anping felt an inexplicable sense of frustration.
He had wanted to call out, “Hello! Is anyone there?”, but just as he was about to speak, he thought that if he yelled, the maidservant named Ling’er would definitely rush forward to attack him without a word. After all, she had never seen his true face; the last time he had his face wrapped in bandages.
Moreover, Li Longling was undressing too quickly; he found it difficult to leave now.
“…”
Seeing Li Longling walking towards him, Ye Anping opened his mouth with a hint of helplessness. In the end, he simply chose to remain silent. Since Li Longling couldn’t see him, he would just leave after she finished bathing.
At that time, no one would know what had happened today.
Swish—swish—
Li Longling stirred the water, her small hands parting the spiritual energy on the surface of the pool as she slowly walked towards Ye Anping.
As she was naked, he had a clear view.
Her pure white body was delicate and beautiful, her waist slender and her shoulders elegant, shaped like a crescent moon, an unblemished expanse of water and sky.
The only flaw was her navel, which was not very neat. It was likely that the midwife who cut her umbilical cord had tied the knot incorrectly. However, it was still a minor imperfection that did not detract from her overall beauty.
Ye Anping held his breath, knowing that Li Longling had excellent senses beyond her sight. He tried to avoid being detected by her, but he couldn’t help but marvel inwardly that this girl had developed much better than his junior sister.
In a short while, Li Longling reached the water-worn rock that Ye Anping was leaning against and slowly sat down along the surface of the rock.
“Hoo—”
She exhaled a relaxed breath, trying to look up at the starry sky, but unfortunately, she couldn’t even see a single star.
“I wish I could see what stars look like… Books say they are like celestial crystals. But what do celestial crystals look like… Sigh—”
Ye Anping glanced at her sideways, and a trace of sympathy welled up in his heart. But then he stopped paying attention, closed his eyes, and prepared to continue cultivating his Qi.
However!!!
“Junior Sister Li, are you already in? The mist in this spirit spring is so thick.”
Xiao Yunluo’s voice suddenly sounded, causing Ye Anping’s eyelids to snap open instantly. He stared in the direction of the voice with a look of horror.
!
“…”
Li Longling heard this and raised her voice in response, “Yes, Senior Sister Xiao, I’m inside. Has Senior Sister Feng arrived?”
“She’s playing dice in the gambling hall of Chi Long Mansion and said she’ll come to bathe later.”
“Then you come in first.”
“Okay… I’ll take off my clothes.”
The rustling sound of clothes rubbing together reached his ears. Ye Anping’s lips parted slightly as he pondered whether he should speak, but before he could finish pondering, Xiao Yunluo had already stepped into the pool barefoot, parting the water as she approached.
“The mist is so thick, Junior Sister Li, where are you? The mist is so thick in here.”
Li Longling replied, “Here!”
Xiao Yunluo followed the sound and, upon approaching, discovered a head peeking out of the water.
The deep purple eyes on the head stared directly at her, unmoving.
—Four eyes met, and silence fell.
“…”
“…”
