Chapter 24: Unable to Grasp
Xia Mo had a rather slender figure, but her development was quite commendable among girls of the same age, enabling her to possess a gracefully beautiful curve without any effort.
She wasn’t very thin, and there wasn’t a bit of excess flesh on her body. Combined with her looks that were far above average, Xia Mo was undoubtedly a beautiful girl.
A beautiful girl of superstar level.
And now, this superstar-level beautiful girl lay beside Luo Shuangyue, resting her calves on Luo Shuangyue’s legs, allowing her to do as she pleased.
“Mmm…”
As Luo Shuangyue moved, a gentle, soft moan escaped Xia Mo’s throat, causing Luo Shuangxing, who was working on her homework nearby, to cover her ears involuntarily.
“I say, you two, can you do this sort of thing in the bathroom or your room? I’m still a minor; it’s not good to do this in front of me, right?”
Hearing her sister’s voice, Luo Shuangyue immediately rolled her eyes. You know you’re a minor, huh? But the dirty thoughts in your little head don’t seem like something a minor girl should know!
So you must have been secretly reading adult knowledge behind my back!
“If we went to the room and didn’t let you see, you would probably think of even more outrageous things, right?” While continuing to massage Xia Mo’s calves and feet, Luo Shuangyue sharply critiqued her already misguided younger sister.
Look at how gentle and pure your sister Xia Mo is, and then look at you—such an unhealthy mindset.
Xia Mo buried her head in the pillow, her entire face flushed red with embarrassment.
She hadn’t realized that the situation would come to this awkwardly shy moment; clearly, Luo Shuangyue’s actions were completely appropriate, yet she still felt so embarrassed.
Especially when Luo Shuangyue’s warm fingers touched the soles of her feet, she couldn’t help but tense the muscles in her legs, for fear of making a shameful sound.
Yes, she was actually a bit ticklish.
Then Luo Shuangyue noticed her tensed calves and continued to massage her calves to help her relax. As she massaged, she moved to her feet again, repeating the same process.
After a few rounds, Xia Mo indeed felt much more comfortable and relaxed, the fatigue built up inside her seeming to dissipate like smoke.
But the price was that her face turned as red as a ripe apple.
“How much longer until you’re done?” Xia Mo timidly raised her head to ask Luo Shuangyue.
“Oh, I could have finished long ago, but I saw you hadn’t reacted much and thought you wanted me to keep going, so I continued for a little while longer.”
“Eh? Sorry… I didn’t know.”
Seeing the flustered expression on Xia Mo’s face, Luo Shuangyue chuckled a couple of times and gently pressed on Xia Mo’s rosy cheeks with her hand.
“So hot, do you have a fever?”
“No, no, I’ll be fine after a shower.” Xia Mo quickly rolled off Luo Shuangyue and dashed into the bathroom without even putting on her slippers.
Hearing the sound of running water from the bathroom, Luo Shuangyue stroked her chin, revealing a contemplative expression.
“What’s wrong, lost in thought?” Luo Shuangxing, not missing the chance to speak up, said at this moment, “Big brother, I see Xia Mo is also interested in you. When will you get together and give me a little niece?”
The next moment, a sharp glare from Luo Shuangyue shot towards Luo Shuangxing.
“What are you talking about? I was thinking that your sister Xia Mo didn’t bring any clothes into the bathroom and that I might have to call you to get her some.”
While she could sense her little sister’s intention for her to find happiness soon, Luo Shuangyue felt that her sister, at such a young age, should not think about these matters.
As for her relationship with Xia Mo, Luo Shuangyue didn’t know how to handle it.
If they went into a real romantic relationship, what would she do if Xia Mo wanted to get intimate one day?
After all, Luo Shuangyue was a genuine girl now, while in Xia Mo’s impression, she had always been a boy.
If Xia Mo were an ordinary person, Luo Shuangyue could find various excuses to brush it off, but coincidentally, Xia Mo was a magical girl with both the ability and willingness to help Luo Shuangyue solve problems.
Luo Shuangyue had no idea how to explain this to Xia Mo.
She could only drag it out like this, keeping their relationship at the stage of close friends, which could anytime turn into that of lovers.
“I think this kind of thing is better left to you, big brother.” Luo Shuangxing winked at her brother.
This was a great opportunity! Aren’t you going to seize it?
Luo Shuangyue felt that she couldn’t take hold of it, so she decided that her little sister could handle that for her. She stood up without hesitation, walking towards her room. “Boys and girls shouldn’t be too close; even if Xia Mo doesn’t mind, I have to maintain this boundary.”
Having said that, she entered her room and locked the front door behind her.
Upon seeing this, Luo Shuangxing touched her nose and muttered softly, “With you being so rigid, if Xia Mo gets snatched away, you won’t have anywhere to cry.”
Clearly, her big brother and sister Xia Mo were both making efforts, yet neither was willing to take a more proactive stance. It made her feel anxious for both of them.
Sigh, can’t someone be a little more proactive? Wouldn’t it be better to settle things sooner?
…
“Tomorrow, both of them will be out, I can take this opportunity to wash this set of clothes…”
As she stuffed Bai Ye’s clothes into the wardrobe, Luo Shuangyue secretly contemplated her next course of action.
There hadn’t been any major events on the Polar Night side lately, and after obtaining two sealing cards, the next one wouldn’t be found so quickly.
And Luo Shuangyue’s role in Polar Night was specifically to handle matters related to sealing cards. Without any leads on the sealing cards, she naturally had nothing to do.
…Or perhaps?
Ding ding! Just as Luo Shuangyue was thinking this, her phone suddenly rang sharply.
This ringtone was exclusive to Monise. Luo Shuangyue quickly took out her phone and answered the call, “Hello, boss, what’s up?”
“The ‘Snake Fang’ from Illusion Mushroom City seems to have sent someone to the Star Sea. I got news that their target is the Serpent King sealing card left by Bai Ye.” Monise’s voice came through the receiver.
The Serpent King sealing card? Luo Shuangyue’s pupils contracted slightly; she hadn’t heard of this sealing card before.
“Bai Ye always seals the residual energy of the magical beasts after defeating them. Although it minimizes the impact of the magical beasts in the short term, the power contained within those cards is considered treasure in the eyes of those with ulterior motives.”
Monise sighed helplessly, “Before she was active, no one dared to lay a hand on those cards, but now that she has been missing for so long, some bold fellows can’t hold back anymore.”
