Chapter 157 Li Longling, Wanting to Grasp the “Moon”
Ye Anping did not fear itchiness, but these strands of hair tickling his neck still made him feel unable to concentrate on Qi Cultivation.
At the same time, he felt a warm current flowing down from his head, as if a monkey named Sun was shouting in the water, “Get bigger! Get thicker!”
After a moment of hesitation, he immediately used his Spiritual Sense to probe his meridians and found that the Yang Energy, which had been cleaned by his junior sister’s kiss, was slowly filling his body again.
However, this time the problem was not significant, unlike the situation when the “Golden Finger” settled.
When the “Golden Finger” settled, the Yang Energy poured into his body like a tsunami, causing extreme discomfort and unbearable pain throughout his whole body. This time, however, it was like a gentle stream, softly smoothing every part of his meridians.
Discussing toxicity without considering dosage is a scam. A small amount of Yang Energy seemed to be of some help to his body and meridians.
However, Ye Anping also realized something at this moment.
This Yang Energy was probably a materialized form of desire, very much like hormones, but with stronger destructive power and effects, not a biological substance in traditional medicine.
Was the generation of Yang Energy caused by Xiao Yunluo’s strands of hair?
He slowly Opened eyes and looked at Xiao Yunluo, who was chatting with Li Longling. Her cheeks were adorned with a few beads of sweat, her hair, dampened, clung to her face, and her lips were crystal clear, like ripe cherries, very alluring, making one want to take a bite.
“…”
Ye Anping frowned deeply and suddenly remembered some papers on social psychology he had read before.
Those papers defined three elements of love:
Intimacy—unconditional acceptance of a partner.
Passion—lusting for the partner’s body.
Commitment—mutual trust.
Fulfilling any one of these could be called love.
And the most perfect love required all three to coexist.
He had always loved his junior sister, that was beyond doubt, but he knew that it was only after his junior sister had kissed him that he began to face his feelings for her squarely.
Now, from an absolutely rational perspective, he had “intimacy” and “commitment” towards his junior sister, but lacked “passion.”
As for Xiao Yunluo, he could now confirm that he probably had a slight “passion” for her, a kind of infatuation, after all, she was very beautiful.
He was considered the hardest worker in the entire Game, possessing more “scenario books” than Miss Xiyue, though most of them were defeat scenarios.
Ye Anping was silent for a moment, withdrew his gaze from Xiao Yunluo’s profile, calmed his mind, and imagined Feng Yu Die’s face, using Feng Yu Die to kick away the two little monkeys that were yelling “get bigger” underwater.
The conversation between the two people chatting beside him gradually shifted from everyday matters to the private conversations between girls:
Li Longling pursed her lips, pinched Ye Anping’s left hand lightly, seeming a little nervous, and asked in a low voice:
“Speaking of which, Senior Sister Xiao, what do you think of Senior Ye? I want to know more about Senior Ye’s matters.”
“Ah…” Xiao Yunluo was stunned for a moment, turned to look at Ye Anping, who was meditating with his eyes closed, “He… is a poker-faced, outwardly cold but inwardly passionate scoundrel!!”
?
Ye Anping suddenly Opened eyes, furrowed his brows, and met her gaze: You came to peek at my bath, and now you’re calling me a scoundrel?
“Ah?” Li Longling replied with slight surprise, “But… I think Senior Ye is very gentlemanly, and his voice is extremely pleasant. I’ve always thought he should be a refined young master.”
“He…” Xiao Yunluo pursed her lips, shifted her gaze, “He is handsome, but extremely narcissistic! The last time I praised him for being handsome, he directly replied: ‘Yes, you’re right, I am handsome.'”
Isn’t that the truth?… Ye Anping raised an eyebrow.
Li Longling was silent for a moment, then covered her mouth and smiled slightly, saying:
“Senior Sister Xiao, you’ve taken a liking to Senior Ye, haven’t you?”
“Ah?! I… How could I possibly like him?! He… he’s just a little smarter, a little more handsome, a little gentler, a little more meticulous, a little more upright, a little more pragmatic, a little more optimistic…”
As she spoke, Xiao Yunluo realized she could go on for a long time, her face flushing with embarrassment. She raised her hand to push her bangs aside, covering her flushed cheeks so Ye Anping wouldn’t see.
“Isn’t that good?” Li Longling chuckled, “Such a young master is rare in this world.”
“But… he’s so reserved, usually doesn’t talk much, and has a poker face…”
“Who is perfect? Besides, these are characteristics, not flaws,” Li Longling lowered her eyes and pondered for a moment, “Then, am I considered your love rival in the future, Senior Sister Xiao?”
?
Hearing this, Ye Anping’s brow suddenly furrowed, and he turned to look at Li Longling beside him.
When did he seduce Li Longling? He hadn’t even started treating her eyes yet.
Could it be that he had taken Feng Yu Die’s destiny, stealing her “Magneto” destiny?
But upon closer thought, there was some possibility.
Feng Yu Die originally had countless women in his harem in the game, but he had also heard the title “Second Idiot” from Xiao Yunluo and his junior sister more than once, and even mistakenly called him “Second Senior Brother” by his junior sister last time.
“Ah…” Xiao Yunluo bit her lip, glanced at Ye Anping, and then asked, “Junior Sister Li, do you really want to marry him?”
“There aren’t many things I can choose now, so I naturally want to grasp this choice. As I said before, marrying someone I’m willing to marry is better than marrying just anyone.”
“…”
Xiao Yunluo turned to look at Ye Anping, her eyes asking him: Do you want to marry Junior Sister Li?
Ye Anping did not understand her gaze and did not respond.
Li Longling looked up at the Bright Moon in the sky, extended her hand, and said:
“Books always say, reach out and grasp the moon, as if the moon is within reach. Senior Sister Xiao, is my hand far from the moon?”
Xiao Yunluo immediately understood what she meant. The moon should be a metaphor for Ye Anping—a silver-white light illuminating everything in the dark.
However, she looked in the direction of Li Longling’s hand and found that Li Longling’s hand was not reaching for the moon.
The moon was in the opposite direction of her head; her outstretched hand faced only the endless night sky.
“…”
For a moment, Xiao Yunluo couldn’t help but feel a pang of sadness in her heart for Junior Sister Li.
Junior Sister Li didn’t even know which way she was facing, just as she hadn’t noticed that she was leaning on the “moon” she spoke of’s shoulder.
Xiao Yunluo was silent for a while, then comforted her, “Well, at least you’re going in the right direction.”
“Really?” Li Longling seemed very happy, tilted her head and smiled, “I just felt the moon was in that direction. I didn’t expect to guess correctly, hehe.”
Xiao Yunluo forced a smile and nodded, “Yes.”
After that, Li Longling didn’t say anything more. She leaned back against the rock, her shoulder resting on Ye Anping’s shoulder, and relaxed in the spiritual pool for a while before standing up.
“I feel a little dizzy. The Spiritual Energy in this pool is too strong for a Qi Refining Stage cultivator like me. I’ll go ashore first. Senior Sister Xiao, do you want to soak for a while longer?”
“Ah… Yes, you go ahead. Be careful on your way back.”
“Okay. Could Senior Sister Xiao help me ashore?”
“Ah…”
Xiao Yunluo was stunned for a moment, then looked at Ye Anping with expectant eyes, which earned her a look of speechless exasperation from Ye Anping.
Ye Anping pursed his lips, gently took Li Longling’s wrist, helped her to the edge of the pool, and as they watched her go ashore. Xiao Yunluo, who had followed, quickly added:
“Junior Sister Li, have Ling’er girl come over.”
“Okay, thank you, Senior Sister Xiao.”
Xiao Yunluo nodded. Because the water was shallow at the shore, she suddenly saw two clearly defined abdominal lines on Ye Anping’s waist.
Although it was only two lines, they immediately made her nose tingle.
Drip—
Blood-red liquid fell into the spiritual pool.
“Hiss—”
Xiao Yunluo unconsciously sucked in sharply through her nose. When she tasted the metallic scent in her throat, she realized she might have gotten too excited. Her face flushed with embarrassment as she looked at Ye Anping’s face, finding him looking at her with utter disgust, his features scrunched up in the center of his face.
She quickly wiped the blood from her nose and murmured to herself:
“Oh dear… Is there too much Fire elemental Spiritual Energy in this spiritual spring? I’m getting a little overheated…”
…
