The Naughty Senior Sister
Senior Brother And Third Sister (2)
Xiu Ruolan's beautiful eyes glanced there and there, as if looking for an excuse.
During this time, they had never discussed about that equal contract because it was too busy with their respective affairs. When Yan Xu reminded back, Xiu Ruolan became depressed which signified that there was something behind the contract.
By reading the expression clearly exposed on the face of the fairy Xiu Ruolan, the corner of Yan Xu's mouth slightly swooped upwards.
He held each side of Xiu Ruolan's cheeks, confirming the position of the slender face to stare straight at him.
Xiu Ruolan's pupils widened, her face reddened and she immediately brushed aside Yan Xu's hands while shouting, "W-what are you doing?!"
Xiu Ruolan's face was already flushed like a tomato until it flowed down the sidelines of her slender ears.
Yan Xu did not take heart over Xiu Ruolan's actions because it was only natural that a teenage girl would be embarrassed to be touched by a man, that was how she thought.
He held onto his chin and narrowed his eyes as he muttered, "It's so weird ...."
Unable to bear the way Yan Xu looked at him, Xiu Ruolan immediately replied, "Who's weird!?"
Xiu Ruolan herself did not realize that her face was already blushing red, even her slender body was trembling slightly. If there was a mirror, it was possible that he would immediately run away from seeing her miserable condition.
Yan Xu had already predicted that, so he did not add a mirror to the room where he rested. All who showed back to his interlocutor, he had already eliminated, unless the other party stared directly into his pupils to see their own reflection.
The situation in the room became a little hotter. Even a cultivator like them could sweat, whereas every stream of water on the body could be manipulated with the qi energy present in his dantian.
This momentary silence was broken by Yan Xu's voice, "No, just my feelings, Ahahaha~ ...."
"So, what about that first topic?" continued.
Xiu Ruolan took a deep breath, closing her eyes. In a split second, his brain began to think. Meanwhile, in his heart he kept shouting out loud.
'Wh-what should I answer!? He still didn't know that the worm he saw was the reincarnation bag I bought from the system! Whatever happens, there is no way I will explain this advantage to anyone!'
'Moreover, he did make an equal contract between us. Merely, I transferred half the contract function to the familiar soul-eating worm purchased from the system at a bargain price!'
'Of course, the other half is my share. It's just that the function itself is just .. well ... that .. how to say it ....'
Xiu Ruolan at the time used some system functions to trick Yan Xu's vision, so he was mistaken for a species of soul-eating worm. There was no harm in wanting to cover up the secret, it was just that what he did was quite excessive.
Now, he regretted that the hasty and thoughtless choice left him with no way to think. The thing he could do was patch up one lie, with a thousand lies to keep his system secret that he kept tight.
'It is better to go into the mud puddle even deeper, than to come out but still covered in mud!'
'There's no way I'd say it's half a marriage contract and half a familiar contract! Whatever happens, it's impossible to be said by a girl like me!'
'It's the wrong system! I never drafted such a convoluted contract! I-I also didn't know that Yan Xu would be considered a potential husband!— no, even the one in it might just be an unlucky carrier!'
True, Xiu Ruolan's biggest mistake was entrusting the drafting of the contract to his system which detected that Yan Xu was a potential husband.
With such a complicated three-way contract, Xiu Ruolan was indirectly registered to have married Yan Xu on his system.
The function of the system would be to treat Yan Xu as Xiu Ruolan's husband and if he was in danger, Xiu Ruolan would be able to feel it directly, but not the other way around. It was only natural because it was a unidirectional and somewhat arbitrary marriage contract from the functioning of the Xiu Ruolan system.
Two seconds had passed, Xiu Ruolan's brain kept on racing and he finally found the answer he felt was right for their condition.
"Senior Brother ...." Xiu Ruolan lowered her head, she did not dare to stare directly at Yan Xu.
"Yes!? Yeah!?"
Across, Yan Xu began to get excited even his handsome face was already twinkling waiting for the answer from his third sister.
"A-anu .. that ...."
"Tell me! No need to hesitate, Brother Ke— ...."
Xiu Ruolan suddenly raised her voice, "The co-contract actually connects the souls of the two of us as husband and wife! So, if I die, you'll die too!"
"Eh?" Yan Xu blinked his eyes a few times. His mouth was still wide open, while the look in his eyes requested that Xiu Ruolan repeat.
"Ja-so ..." Xiu Ruolan held onto one of his fists and continued doubtfully, ".... The contract ... has bound our souls ...."
Bruk!
Yan Xu smashed into the table in front of him with a two-handed fist. Of course he used a small amount of power for fear that the table would break.
"Third brother, we have to cancel that contract!" yan Xu shouted in fear.
Meanwhile, Xiu Ruolan was already happy because Yan Xu chose the course of action to suit his wishes.
Yan Xu immediately held onto his second slender shoulder of his third sister with a terrified expression, so his handsome face was covered in sweat, "Why do we cancel it?!— A-do you think of a way!?"
Xiu Ruolan immediately put on a serious look, as if finding a way out of their troubles. He smiled confidently while talking to his system inside his head.
'System, cancel the contract that lured me in with Yan Xu.'
After giving the order, Xiu Ruolan said proudly, "Senior sister can be calm— ....!"
«Ding! Sorry, the contract between Host and Yan Xu cannot be canceled normally! If cancelled, the Host system level will be 1! (╥_╥)»
'What?! This system must be broken!'
Not yet had he had the time to boast, a message of response from the system had completely knocked Xiu Ruolan's confidence!
Now, his face full of confidence was hardened like a rock. Her beautiful smile had been replaced with lamentation would be full of confusion.
It was also true for Yan Xu, he grew even more frightened until he shook Xiu Ruolan's shoulder a few times.
"Third Sister? You know how ki-we can cancel— ...."
Xiu Ruolan instantly replied in a desperate voice, "— Nothing."
"Nothing?" yan Xu asked in disbelief.
However, he persisted with the same answer, "Nothing."
"Seriously?" Yan Xu stared intently into Xiu Ruolan's eyes, figuring out if he was lying or telling the truth.
Xiu Ruolan immediately changed her expression to a cheeky big smile as she said, "Of course it's a lie!"
He immediately ran towards the door, but came to a halt as Yan Xu called out to him.
"Xiu Ruolan, what's a lie?" yan Xu asked with a nervous expression, staring at the slender shoulder that was behind him.
Xiu Ruolan turned around a little and said, "Half of it!"
After saying that, he had already disappeared from where he stood.
Yan Xu who was left alone, sat back in his chair tiredly. He massaged his forehead a few times while saying, "That kid, when did he learn an unfunny joke?"
He soon recovered and abandoned the thought that he thought was useless. However, it remained that Yan Xu still felt uneasy because he said half. Then, half of it was something he did not know.
Yan Xu sighed tiredly, "The heart of a girl is indeed unpredictable."
......................
Meanwhile, Xiu Ruolan who had escaped immediately entered his room.
He could barely contain himself from feeling ashamed of his confidence which he considered too excessive. Today's events will probably mark an incident he wants to forget for the rest of his life.
Xiu Ruolan sat on a soft mattress, hugging both knees while burying her face. She muttered softly, "So, I who was the former Emperor of the Voidness was already a wife on this teenage appearance?"
Being a wife was also one of Xiu Ruolan's wishes during his previous life, but unfortunately he did not find a suitable person. Eventually, he died from being stabbed in the back by his own student.
The most tragic tragedy of Xiu Ruolan's previous life, actually happened because he had already rejected his student's proposal. This infuriated the savage disciple and plotted a savage scheme to kill his own teacher.
Of course Xiu Ruolan did not feel angry because he had modern thoughts from Earth, where he lived before becoming a transmigrator. Still, there is a slight sense of disappointment that she may have trouble opening her heart to other men.
However, all that changed when he who was still in the reincarnation pouch coincidentally listened to the call from Yan Xu. He felt that the man was no ordinary person, although he actually knew Yan Xu was still much weaker than his prime.
That curiosity turned into curiosity, thus making him willing to enter into a contract with Yan Xu. Subconsciously, Xiu Ruolan was driven by his own will in following the strange man.
Until now, if asked if he regretted agreeing to the contract. Naturally, he would reply a little regretfully for not adding a function where he should have a higher caste in the conditions of their contract.
Throwing away that thought, Xiu Ruolan immediately shook his head a few times then broke down.
He closed both beautiful eyelids and there was a thin smile that was very beautiful on the face of a fairy who could not be honest about her own feelings.
'In this life, I am the same. My heart says yes, but my mouth always says no. I hope there will come a time to be able to express it correctly ....'
