Chapter 26: If You Don’t Believe Me, You Can… See If It’s Scary
Ye Shu: “……”
He felt mentally exhausted. Is this what women are like?
Truly, a woman’s thoughts are hard to guess…
He had the urge to slap her and say, “Stop making me guess!”
After all that guessing, you’re telling me you like everything?
However, seeing her sweet smile, she did look quite adorable, and the frustration in his heart dissipated.
Who would have thought that Senior Sister Bai was actually a foodie who loved delicious treats?
Well, since that’s the case, when I go to the Lantern Festival this time, I’ll bring her some snacks as a token of thanks.
“Junior Brother Ye, why are you asking this?” Bai Rourou looked at him eagerly, her eyes shining with excitement.
She was thrilled!
In her heart, she thought she already knew the answer. Junior Brother Ye was clearly asking these questions to understand her preferences in advance, all to prepare for the Lantern Festival.
But still, she wanted to hear him say it out loud herself to feel assured.
Ye Shu didn’t hide it from her and answered honestly, “Senior Sister Bai, when I go to the Lantern Festival, I’ll bring you some snacks.”
“Haha, that’s great! Senior Sister is full of anticipation!” Bai Rourou continued to smile brightly, not showing the slightest bit of disappointment.
She didn’t believe Ye Shu’s explanation at all.
Because she knew that when the Lantern Festival arrived, Ye Shu would definitely come looking for her, begging her to go with him.
Him saying this now was just to give her a pleasant surprise.
Bai Rourou reassured herself in her heart: “Yes, that’s probably how it is!”
However, Ye Shu wasn’t thinking about any of this.
Instead, he was pondering about his master, Luo Jiuyan. What did she like?
After thinking for a while, Ye Shu shook his head and cupped his hands toward Bai Rourou, saying, “Since there’s nothing else, I’ll take my leave now, Senior Sister.”
Bai Rourou was a little disappointed but could still accept it. She nodded and said, “Let’s meet again when we have time.”
“Alright, I’ll head off now.” Ye Shu nodded and turned to leave without any hesitation.
Bai Rourou watched his heroic figure as he walked away, her gaze filled with infatuation. What a silly junior brother.
I’ve already made it so obvious, yet you still won’t tell me.
“Hmph!”
“When the time comes, I’ll definitely play hard to get. I won’t let you succeed so easily. I’ll make you beg me to go!”
“Who told you to act so reserved now!”
Bai Rourou snorted coldly, determined to make Ye Shu work for it.
As she thought about this, she took light steps, like a dancing butterfly, and fluttered away…
Soon.
Ye Shu returned to his residence.
He lay down on his bed, resting his head on his hands, and began to ponder deeply.
What exactly does Master like?
Speaking of which, after so many years under her guidance and spending so much time together, I still don’t know what she truly likes.
There are rumors that she enjoys torturing and killing people, that she likes cutting off men’s… you know, and that she enjoys feasting on hearts and lungs as a side dish. There are even rumors that she likes to have fun with extremely ugly men…
But Ye Shu knew all of these were false, completely untrue, mere slander from those who didn’t understand her!
The only thing he was certain she liked was… himself!
At this thought, Ye Shu’s face turned red. This wasn’t him boasting.
From the moment he entered the sect until now, Luo Jiuyan had never failed to take care of him.
Just a few days ago, for the sake of his “inner demons,” she even agreed to that kind of thing.
So, it was certain that she liked him.
However, it probably wasn’t the kind of liking between a man and a woman.
After all, she was Luo Jiuyan, someone who had severed all ties to romantic love. She had only agreed to that kind of thing for his sake, reluctantly…
Ye Shu came up with an idea: “Could it be that I should offer myself to her as a gift?”
Thinking about it, it did sound quite exciting!
But forget it.
If I accidentally upset her, forget about making any further moves. I’d be lucky to survive.
What should I do then?
Suddenly, Ye Shu had an idea.
Why not go directly and ask her?
It’s better than being left in the dark.
Just as he was thinking this, a voice came from outside his room.
“Junior Brother Ye, can you help me?”
Hearing this voice, Ye Shu’s heart skipped a beat, and he nearly rolled off the bed.
This voice belonged to none other than Senior Sister Nie Qing!
He hadn’t expected her to come looking for him so soon after their late-night chat the previous evening.
What could she be here for this time?
From her tone, it sounded like she was asking for help, and she seemed very anxious.
Suddenly, Ye Shu’s eyes lit up.
That’s it!
Others might not know Master Luo Jiuyan’s preferences, but Nie Qing, her eldest disciple who had traveled far and wide with her, would definitely know!
Ye Shu firmly believed this and quickly went to open the door. Before he could even greet her, a red figure darted into the room.
“What the—! What’s this big red rat?!” Ye Shu was genuinely startled.
When he turned around, he saw Nie Qing wrapped in red clothes, drenched in sweat. Her clothes clung to her body, revealing her fair skin and alluring curves.
Ye Shu’s Adam’s apple bobbed.
Out of respect!
This was way too seductive!
A wet and seductive Senior Sister!
Ye Shu stared intently at Senior Sister Nie Qing’s figure, feeling a strange fire rising within him.
He almost couldn’t resist the urge to pounce on her right then and there!
Despite the burning desire, Ye Shu maintained a serious expression and asked, “Senior Sister, what’s wrong?”
Seeing her like this, something was clearly off. He needed to figure out what was going on first!
Hearing this, Nie Qing bit her red lip. Her cheeks were flushed, like a tempting fruit.
Every part of her exuded allure.
She hesitated for a moment, as if ashamed to say it, but given the situation, she had no choice but to speak up.
“Junior Brother Ye, my inner demons are acting up again!”
Ye Shu froze, his eyes widening in disbelief as he stammered, “Senior Sister, are you joking? What am I supposed to say to this?”
What inner demons? No way, what kind of joke is this?
When I told you it was inner demons before, I was just making it up to fool you.
How could you take it so seriously?
You’re even easier to fool than Master Luo Jiuyan!
Nie Qing said gloomily, “Why would I joke about something like this? This is no laughing matter!”
If it were anything else, it wouldn’t be a big deal. She could just slash it with her sword and be done with it.
But these inner demons—something intangible, untouchable, and indescribable—left her completely helpless.
Ye Shu sighed. “Senior Sister, there’s nothing I can do to help. Why don’t you go see Master? Maybe she’ll have a solution.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Nie Qing said angrily, “Junior Brother Ye, use your brain!”
“If Senior Sister’s inner demons are exposed to Master, what kind of punishment do you think I’d face?”
“Well… that’s true.” Ye Shu thought about it and realized he couldn’t argue with her logic.
Even when he had claimed to have inner demons in front of Luo Jiuyan, she hadn’t let him off easily.
Nie Qing would likely face similar, if not worse, punishment.
So, instead of going to Master Luo Jiuyan to confess, Nie Qing decided to pin her last hope on Ye Shu!
Since Ye Shu had been “cured” of his inner demons, maybe he could cure her too.
That was the thought Nie Qing had when she came to him.
Seeing that Ye Shu still didn’t believe her, Nie Qing pressed her hands against her ample chest and took two steps forward.
“Junior Brother Ye, if you don’t believe me, you can feel it yourself. See if my heartbeat isn’t terrifying!”
Ye Shu’s eyes widened as he stared at the indescribable sight before him.
Forget whether her heartbeat was terrifying or not—just the sheer size of it was enough to scare this junior brother…
