Chapter 241: Chapter 187 News

Looking at Lou Ji’s finger pointing towards the door, as delicate and smooth as mutton fat jade, Xu Yuan felt an urge to snap it.

Taking a deep breath and turning around,

Xu Yuan immediately met those distant and cold eyes that he hadn’t seen for a long time.

Backlit by light cascading from the eaves, they were tranquil and beautiful like autumn waters.

Just like the Ink Sword she was carrying in her hand.

After a moment of eye contact,

"You’re here?"

Xu Yuan’s voice was very calm, betraying not a hint of panic.

"Mhm."

Ran Qingmo nodded gently and stepped into the room but, as if something at the corner of her eye caught her attention, her steps involuntarily paused, and she tightened her grip on the sword.

In the silence,

Ran Qingmo glanced at the soft, large bed before turning her gaze back to Xu Yuan’s face.

Equally calm.

Xu Yuan, completely at ease, also glanced sideways at the bed.

Then,

he felt a bit strained.

Unbeknownst to him,

Lou Ji had turned over on the bed, wrapped in a cotton quilt with her fragrant shoulder half-exposed and her back to them; the faint outline of her graceful, voluptuous curves was visible.

As his gaze swept over, Lou Ji, as if on cue, turned over, opened her eyes, sat up unhurriedly, wearing a brocade, red silk nightgown that had appeared on her body at some point. It perfectly draped over her smooth shoulders, catching the light pouring through the window lattice.

Afterward,

she stretched her arms lazily.

Her eyes carried a trace of drowsy nobility, as if she had just awoken.

Without looking at Ran Qingmo, who entered the room, she met Xu Yuan’s gaze and pursed her lips, chuckling lightly:

"Changtian... Is it morning already?"

"....." Xu Yuan.

"....."

Ran Qingmo glanced at Lou Ji, and then, with her gaze slightly lowered and lips pursed, asked:

"Xu Yuan... Who is she?"

As Xu Yuan had not sensed her presence, she also couldn’t sense the woman on the bed.

This woman was dangerous.

"....."

For an instant, many solutions flashed through Xu Yuan’s mind.

But once he realized that the woman in front of him was Ran Qingmo, he chuckled softly, rolled his eyes naturally, and explained to Ran Qingmo in a soft voice:

"A... sister from the family who always knows how to cause trouble in my place."

Having said that,

Xu Yuan nonchalantly dropped his gaze to the documents on the desk, as if nothing was amiss.

"...."

Ran Qingmo stared at Xu Yuan for several breaths, her beautiful eyes thoughtful, and let out a soft sigh:

"Oh, I see."

With that,

Ran Qingmo stopped looking at Lou Ji’s half-exposed flesh and walked directly over to sit opposite Xu Yuan, quietly watching him work.

For a time, the sunlight remained, a faint scent of flowers filled the air, and the room fell into silence.

Lou Ji’s purposeful stretching on the bed suddenly froze, her eyes tinged with astonishment as she observed the girl dressed in black as ink,

She felt things shouldn’t have unfolded this way.

This silence continued for nearly ten seconds when Lou Ji’s eyes finally showed a touch of interest. With a light chuckle, she got up from the bed and walked toward Xu Yuan.

As she moved, the silk gown swayed, and her long, shapely legs were displayed to full effect.

Xu Yuan, out of the corner of his eye, saw her coming. His fingers, turning the official papers, trembled slightly, and he wanted to speak but didn’t get the chance.

For Lou Ji was already close, sitting squarely on the armrest beside him. The scent of flowers wafted around her with her hair falling down. Her voice carried a touch of well-measured grievance:

"Changtian, to hear you speak so of your sister really breaks my heart, especially after I helped you relieve your stress last night."

"...." Xu Yuan.

A massage would have sufficed, why mention relieving stress?

But it didn’t matter, Ran Qingmo couldn’t understand anyways.

Thinking this, Xu Yuan looked up.

Ran Qingmo sat opposite, silent for a while before she asked again softly:

"Xu Yuan, is she really a sister from your family?"

Xu Yuan massaged his forehead and nodded:

"Yes, she watched me grow up."

"Oh...." Ran Qingmo cast a glance with her cold and beautiful eyes at the charming Lou Ji, then looked away.

"What’s wrong?"

Lou Ji chimed in at that moment, her slender arm hooked around Xu Yuan’s neck, staring at Ran Qingmo: "Do you think I don’t look like Changtian’s sister?"

Ran Qingmo pursed her lips, uttering two words:

"It’s okay...."

"It’s okay, so that means I don’t look like it, right?" Lou Ji chuckled: "Is it because I sleep in Changtian’s bed?"

"It’s not because of that." Ran Qingmo shook her head.

Lou Ji narrowed her beautiful eyes:

"Oh?"

Ran Qingmo opened her mouth, then closed it again, hesitating:

"I can’t say."

"Why not?"

Ran Qingmo honestly replied: "It’s impolite."

Lou Ji raised her eyebrows and got up, laughing:

"It’s okay, I often hear your name, it doesn’t matter if it comes from one of our own."

Ran Qingmo glanced at Xu Yuan.

Xu Yuan didn’t look at her, massaging his forehead with a headache.

After thinking for a while, Ran Qingmo tentatively said:

"Because... sister, the way you speak and dress is a bit like those aunties sitting by the alley in Pingshui Bay, so it doesn’t seem like it."

"....." Lou Ji.

"Pfft...." Xu Yuan couldn’t help but laugh.

She wasn’t just any entertainer, the ones from the music bureau at least had some sort of organization.

Lou Ji’s face was all smiles, not speaking.

Ran Qingmo’s speech didn’t stop either, she shook her head, seriously continuing:

"But your cultivation is very strong, someone with such cultivation wouldn’t do those kinds of things."

Xu Yuan stifled his laughter with his head hanging down.

Big Ice Lump’s way of indirectly insulting someone using negative statements was too amusing.

But just as he was halfway into his laughter, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his stomach. This familiar sensation of punishment made him quickly suppress his laughter, and as soon as he did, the pain disappeared.

Xu Yuan tapped on the table, speaking earnestly to Ran Qingmo:

"Ran Qingmo, my sister has an occupational hazard, how can you say such things... ah!"

Mid-sentence, a sudden intense pain in his stomach made Xu Yuan swallow the rest of his words.

Ran Qingmo looked concerned but did not speak, while Lou Ji leaned close to Xu Yuan first, asking in a soft voice with a smile:

"Changtian, are you okay?"

Xu Yuan looked at the seductive face so close to his:

"I’m fine...."

As he spoke,

Xu Yuan slowly sat up straight.

Lou Ji was using the same old methods to discipline him, but for him who had been through countless painful bone-marrow cleansings, it was nothing.

My pain tolerance isn’t for show now.

However, since torture was this auntie’s specialty, and to avoid Lou Ji using other methods, Xu Yuan cautiously added:

"Uh... It must be last night’s meal."

Pausing,

Xu Yuan didn’t give Lou Ji the chance to continue on the topic, and he brought the conversation back around to the main point:

"Ran Qingmo, you are here by my sister’s request, she must have something for you."

He was sure that Lou Ji calling Ran Qingmo over was not just for a fireside chat.

Ran Qingmo’s gaze was puzzled as she looked at Lou Ji.

On the other hand, Lou Ji heaved a sigh, finding Xu Yuan and Ran Qingmo’s reactions somewhat dull.

Boring.....

Next time, I’ll have a chance to tease that Enchantress Divine Physique named Su Jinxuan. I heard she went near the Burial Village and got a pretty good Cultivation Technique, heh~

With that thought, Lou Ji waved her hand and turned to walk towards the bed.

As she turned, the red satin sleeping gown quietly transformed, morphing into a tight-fitting black-green low-cut brocade fur coat.

Sitting back down on the bed and crossing her legs, Lou Ji’s expression suddenly turned as cold as a queen’s, and she spoke casually to the still indifferent-looking young girl:

"Ran Qingmo, Ran Jianli asked me to tell you to return to Sword Sect within three months."
