The Naughty Senior Sister
Senior Brother is Jealous
"So, hmm ... Miao ^ ...." Yan Xu narrowed his eyes and sensed that there was something in the aura of his junior sister.
Miao'er who suddenly called out his name became nervous, "W-what's up, Senior Brother!?"
Yan Xu was still researching the faint aura traces that were around Miao'er. He could clearly see that Miao'er's qi energy absorption scale was getting bigger.
There was only one answer that could explain this strange sight.
"...." - ".Miao'er was even more nervous that he could feel cold sweat running down his back.
Yan Xu carefully opened his mouth, "Have you entered the first stage gold core realm yet?"
"Not yet!"
Miao'er immediately replied firmly, but the aura leaked due to Miao'er's lack of self-control succeeded instead.
—Tuk tuk tuk
Yan Xu tapped on the table that was in front with his index finger several times, he was still silent like a predator waiting for his prey to move.
Miao'er still maintained his poker face more firmly.
'You want to play patience test with your senior brother? Okay, let's see how far you can go!' Yan Xu felt a challenge in Miao'er's silence, making him even more zealously stabbing at him.
Yan Xu shook his head with a disappointed expression, he took this as the opening move in persuading Miao'er to speak!
"No need to lie, you've been caught. Is it that hard to be honest with your senior brother?"
"No, Junior Brother doesn't lie."
"Still, give an explanation with this increasingly leaky aura of yours," Yan Xu pointed out right towards the right chest which was where the golden core of a human cultivator was usually stored.
Miao'er frowned, covered the chest with both hands then said, "Senior sister, since when have you turned into such a pervert!?"
'Oh .. here it is, Miao'er's reply technique, changing the topic in one reply!' yan Xu shouted in his heart.
Yan Xu grew even more excited to tease her because Miao'er had already pressed a button that she should not have done.
Yan Xu's wide grin began to appear at the corner of his lips, "I? Bawdy? How can a man have no lust? Do you expect your senior brother to not have a dao partner for the rest of his life?"
"N-that's not what I mean!—aih!" Miao'er patted his eel then continued, "— Haah .. alright, Junior Brother gave up, you won."
Realizing it was useless, Miao'er immediately gave up on responding to the temptation from Yan Xu. He was aware that Yan Xu had deliberately brought up the topic of the dao couple to outwit him even more deeply.
If the fluctuations in the surrounding qi energy started to be more unstable, it would be the same to make Miao'er confess indirectly that he had lied.
On the opposite side, Yan Xu was still not satisfied teasing him.
Yan Xu put on a sad face, heaved a heavy sigh and placed his head on the back of his hand.
"You really make me feel a little— ..."
Not done yet, Miao'er cut immediately.
"Please stop, Senior Brother! My sister admitted her mistake!"
"really? Where's your mistake, Junior Brother?" Yan Xu still spoke with a sad face.
During their year together in the same peak, Yan Xu had already noticed some of the habits of his junior sisters in speaking.
Like Wang Jia Li who had always been firm with his words, this Miao'er was the opposite of that.
If Miao'er was lying, it would be very easy to tell even if he used his advanced facial expression concealment skill.
How could that be?
'Miao'er was weak to how others looked at him.'
That was what Yan Xu thought. He could tell by slightly provoking Miao'er's shock by changing the way he spoke to her. Slightly changing and showing disappointment, Miao'er would start to show signs of nervousness about the changes happening.
If he could still hold on, it meant that Yan Xu would only add to the weight of the changes to what he saw from Miao'er.
At the very least, he would try up to four times before giving up on scraping the truth over Miao'er's words.
"I-it .. I ...."
Miao'er glanced here and there, trying to find the right sentence for some reason— ....
'I-I can't possibly say that this ridiculous system suddenly raised my cultivation base before forming a pagoda at the dantian core!'
That was the real reason why Miao'er was still not used to controlling the qi energy and aura around his body.
It was not that he did not want to share or anything, it was sudden that the system informed him that his cultivation base was rising without having to wait for confirmation.
However, his fate today was truly unlucky for being discovered by Yan Xu. Given Yan Xu's nature, he was certain that his senior brother would not let go of Miao'er just like that.
As Miao'er was still searching for an answer that suited his current condition, Yan Xu's voice broke his dead-end silence.
"That's it, no need to discuss. I am not someone who does not value the privacy of others," Yan Xu said as if losing interest.
Yan Xu actually did not have any sense of surprise at how quickly Miao'er was growing. Merely, he felt a little jealous of the growth of his extremely terrifying junior sister.
'Who isn't jealous at that full speed? Me?— Your grandfather! In fact, if there was a choice from the system to kick the entire corpse in the ancestral tomb of the Luo Immortal Sect for the sake of obtaining that monstrous Miao'er's growing speed, it would definitely do me wholeheartedly!' Yan Xu was actually made to cry in his heart.
Yan Xu had mentally prepared himself when they first activated the Miao'er cultivation path, but he still could not escape his jealousy.
In fact, he sometimes prayed to always dream of the growing speed of Miao'er's cultivation in his sleep— of course, it was only partly his hope of becoming stronger at an incredible speed.
So, he did not want to bother with those little things anymore. As for how much he wanted Miao'er's speed, he would always keep that secret until he became dust.
In addition, according to Yan Xu's future views, Miao'er will continue to increase so that it surpasses him.
He would be chased and left far behind from his junior sister.
'For that, this pill forging must be executed immediately so that I can ascend to the next realm— realm of the mystic realm.'
Thinking that, made Yan Xu subconsciously narrow his eyes.
Miao'er who saw the change was a little panicked within him. He hesitated to speak, but he was still brave.
"I-it's not like Senior Brother thought, it's just ..." Miao'er slightly lowered his head as he could not bear to stare directly at Yan Xu, "I .. don't know how to tell you ...."
Looking at Miao'er who had difficulty answering, Yan Xu only thought that Miao'er was confused choosing the right sentence because he still had not broken through to the late stage gold core realm to the mystic realm.
Yan Xu confirmed his sitting position while smiling warmly. After careful thought, Yan Xu also knew that Miao'er was not a stingy person to share secrets with him.
"If you're still confused, there's no need to think about it now. We'll talk later, after convincing the two guests."
Miao'er's originally deathly pale expression brightened back, he raised his head in delight, "Um! I will give my best explanation to Senior Brother after you successfully survived them!"
"Ugh, you should learn to properly express your wishful sentences first before thinking of an explanation of your cultivation base," Yan Xu smiled wryly with an overly honest answer from his junior sister.
"Sure, Junior Brother will try hard!"
With a big smile, Miao'er nodded in agreement even though he did not understand what Yan Xu was saying.
"Oh, by the way, is this Senior Brother's original cultivation base?" miao'er asked with her innocent expression.
That sentence made Yan Xu return to reality, he had almost forgotten that his current cultivation base was a genuine look.
He was a little regretful for setting a bad example to the junior sister he often taught to not be careless in showing their cultivation base. It's just that the circumstances are not supportive and he is also not to blame.
Yan Xu nodded as he said, "Right, this is my original cultivation base. I can't hide it because it's hurt after the last business."
"Then, shouldn't Senior Brother have to rest longer? Senior Brother will probably always feel threatened for not being able to hide."
Miao'er looked at Yan Xu earnestly using her two beautiful bright brown eyeballs flawlessly.
He felt that Yan Xu would probably become the subject of his sisters because they had a higher cultivation base.
With concern but no regard for the other person's feelings, Miao'er did not realize that he was piercing Yan Xu's heart even without using a sword.
Ignoring his hurt feelings indirectly, Yan Xu replied to his junior sister's words casually.
"Just calm down, I am the top of the second hierarchy after Master. There will be no one who dares to run me down at our Wind Peak."
"Y-yes .. Senior Brother's remark has a point. Junior sister thinks too much ...."
"Yes, Miao'er thinks too much. However, I know you mean well for worrying about me. But, next time, you better not say that sentence to someone else."
"—E-eh? Why, Senior Brother?"
"You don't know why?" Yan Xu asked back, as if he did not want to give his answer easily.
"Hm ...." Miao'er frowned, thinking hard.
After a while he spoke again.
"I-I .. don't know ...."
Miao'er did not feel the slightest bit of something was wrong with what he said.
He felt Yan Xu's facial expression turn a little more serious than usual.
