NOVEL NEXT WORLD Chapter 27: Senior Sister, You Don’t Want Master to Find Out About This, Do You?
Chapter 27: Senior Sister, You Don’t Want Master to Find Out About This, Do You?
Ye Shu felt his mouth go dry, and his entire body was burning with heat.
With Senior Sister Nie Qing encouraging him like this, of course, he was more than willing to help her solve her troubles!
But was this really okay?
What if Master found out…
No! This is so secretive, how would Master know? She’s just an Emperor Level powerhouse, a Mahayana Stage expert, not the Heavenly Dao itself. There’s no way she could know everything!
Thinking this, Ye Shu reached out his hand, eager to listen to Nie Qing’s heartbeat, to feel how grand and soft it was…
As Nie Qing’s hot breath brushed against him, Ye Shu’s hand inched closer and closer, until it was just a hair’s breadth away from that magnificent sight.
But at the critical moment!
Nie Qing suddenly cried out, “No! I can’t take it!”
The nearness of Ye Shu’s hand overwhelmed her, so she clutched her chest and stumbled back several steps, only stopping when her back hit the wall. She seemed satisfied with this distance.
She looked at Ye Shu, feeling dizzy, her delicate body trembling uncontrollably.
Especially in that moment when Ye Shu’s hand was getting closer and closer to her, she felt as if there was a monster in her chest, frantically trying to leap out of her heart!
She was so frightened that she quickly retreated, only then feeling somewhat better.
She had discovered a principle: the closer she was to Ye Shu, the less control she had over herself.
That’s why, at the last moment, she had fled in a panic.
Ye Shu was still confused, thinking that such a great opportunity had slipped away.
Though unwilling, he still asked with concern, “Senior Sister, what’s been going on with you lately?”
“I…”
Nie Qing lowered her head, feeling embarrassed in front of this junior brother who was much younger than her. It was hard for her to speak.
She knew that keeping it to herself wasn’t a solution. She could only whisper, “Since last night, I’ve been restless, tormented by inner demons!”
Hearing this, Ye Shu didn’t dismiss it this time, because her appearance did seem like someone who had been through a lot of torment.
He continued to ask, “Inner demons? What kind of inner demons are you talking about?”
Ye Shu personally didn’t believe he had any inner demons, having made up the story as a cover-up, but Senior Sister Nie Qing’s claims—what were they like?—sparked his curiosity.
In any case, he would listen to her explanation before making any judgments.
When it came to this, Nie Qing became even more ashamed, her face turning red, completely devoid of her usual heroic and spirited demeanor.
Instead, she showed a more feminine side: “Junior Brother Ye, to be honest, last night I dreamed of a man.”
“I’ve never had such a dream before!”
“Do you think this is an inner demon?”
Ye Shu, who had just perked up with interest, froze, not knowing what to say.
Dreaming of a man? What’s so strange about that? Isn’t that normal?
Just like him—he dreamed of women every night, entangled with them…
Some were pure and cute, some were mature and dignified, some were full of allure…
In dreams, anything was possible.
Was there really a need to be so terrified?
Ye Shu shook his head and continued to ask, “Senior Sister, is there anything else? Any other strange things?”
“Yes! Of course, there is!”
Nie Qing immediately spoke up, looking utterly ashamed and annoyed, waving her fist as she said, “Junior Brother Ye, you have no idea, the man in my dream actually wanted to do… that kind of thing with me! You have no idea how shameless it was!”
Hearing this, Ye Shu’s eyes widened, and his interest was piqued: “Go on, go on! The more details, the better!”
This was starting to sound like a… spring dream.
As someone who often had such dreams, Ye Shu was extremely interested!
Nie Qing fell silent for a moment, as if struggling with whether to continue.
But she thought to herself that keeping it bottled up wasn’t a solution, so she said with a pained expression, “He, that despicable man, actually wanted to touch my hand!”
Ye Shu pressed further, “And then? What else?”
Nie Qing raised her head and began to stroke her own arm: “His hand was like this, slowly crawling up, and then…”
“And then what?” Ye Shu’s eyes sparkled, eager to hear more.
Nie Qing’s eyes became misty, and her lips trembled: “And then, unable to bear it any longer…”
“I pinned him to the ground!”
Ye Shu exclaimed, “What? You pinned him?”
Nie Qing nodded: “Yes! It was me!”
“So, you were the one taking the initiative?”
“Yes! Otherwise, why would I say it’s an inner demon?”
Nie Qing said with a face full of distress, her voice tinged with disbelief. She didn’t dare to talk about this with anyone else.
Only in front of Ye Shu, a fellow “sufferer,” could she bring herself to speak of it.
In her dream, she wasn’t the one being oppressed.
Instead, she was the one who wanted to dominate the man, to have her way with him. That’s why she was so upset.
She felt that she had become too strange!
She had never cared about romantic entanglements before, so why had she had such a shameless dream last night?
And why had she done such insane things in the dream?
That wasn’t her at all!
So, she believed it was an inner demon, something that had caused her to change.
After hearing all this.
Ye Shu was sweating profusely!
This… sounded exactly like a spring dream.
Nothing strange or unusual about it.
In other words, it’s perfectly normal for people to have fantasies about the opposite sex in their dreams. It’s as normal as it gets.
But in Senior Sister Nie Qing’s eyes, it had become something as terrifying as an inner demon.
Had she never had such a dream before?
Ye Shu looked at her, still shaken and pure as water.
It seemed she really hadn’t.
“It seems Senior Sister is still a pure maiden, someone who’s never even had a spring dream,” Ye Shu thought, amused.
It made sense. In the Heavenly Fiend Sect, romantic relationships were strictly forbidden. There was no possibility of anything happening between men and women.
So, Senior Sister Nie Qing’s reaction was understandable.
But in her eyes, having such a dream was like facing a flood or a wild beast—something to be feared like an inner demon!
Sigh…
Ye Shu shook his head, not knowing what to say.
At this moment, Nie Qing anxiously asked, “Junior Brother Ye, please tell me, how do I overcome this?”
“You’ve been through this before, so you must know how to fight against inner demons!”
Facing Nie Qing’s desperate questioning, Ye Shu felt a strange sense of satisfaction.
The same Senior Sister who had once chased him with a sword was now begging for his help.
Ye Shu could only sigh lightly: “It’s difficult~”
He thought to himself that he should have some fun with her, to pay her back for chasing him with a sword back then.
“Difficult?”
Nie Qing’s face immediately fell, her expression darkening.
But she noticed a hint of a smile on Ye Shu’s face and felt a glimmer of hope. She quickly said, “Junior Brother Ye, you must have a way, right? Tell me, don’t keep it to yourself!”
Ye Shu shook his head, pretending to be indifferent: “Senior Sister, I really don’t know anything about this.”
“What!”
Nie Qing suddenly flew into a rage.
With a clang!
She drew her sword.
Pointing it at him, she shouted, “Ye Shu, you dog! Don’t push your luck! My inner demons are all because of you! You’d better take responsibility!”
She was furious. If she hadn’t come to see Ye Shu last night, she would never have had such a shameful dream.
She strongly suspected that Ye Shu was the cause of it all!
So, with reason and evidence on her side, she wanted to force him to comply.
However, this time, Ye Shu wasn’t afraid of her three-foot sword at all!
Instead, he stepped forward, standing right in front of her.
He had an arrogant look on his face, as if saying, “Go ahead, kill me if you dare!”
Ye Shu stared at her calmly and said, “Come on, kill me! If you have the guts, do it!”
“You!” Nie Qing swung her sword, but she couldn’t bring herself to strike.
After a long silence, she admitted to herself that she didn’t dare to do it.
Ye Shu’s status as the Demon Prince, favored by Master Luo Jiuyan, was undeniable. If she really attacked him, there was no question that she would be severely punished.
Moreover, he was the only one who knew how to deal with this “inner demon.”
If she killed him, who else could she turn to?
For both emotional and logical reasons, she couldn’t do it.
At this moment, seeing her hesitation, Ye Shu’s lips curled into a smile: “Senior Sister, you don’t want Master to find out about this, do you?”
