Facing such a passionate and heartfelt confession from his junior sister, Lin Xiao's mind suddenly BUZZED, then felt as if it had completely exploded!
Indeed, over the years, he had done many things for his junior sisters behind the scenes. The various incidents Chu Youwei just mentioned were all his doing! After all, the system only required him to maintain the persona of a villain on the surface; it didn't forbid him from secretly acting like a normal Eldest Senior Brother, a gentle and caring older brother!
He had watched these three junior sisters grow from little girls with pigtails into the graceful and beautiful young women they were today. It was no exaggeration to say that after so many years of companionship, his feelings for them were gradually becoming no less than those he had for his own sister back on Earth!
It seems many of the things I've done have already been discovered by my junior sisters...
And their personas might have changed precisely because of that!
In other words...
The Chu Youwei of this moment... she isn't fond of the villainous, lecherous Lin Xiao from the novel...
She's fond of me, this soul from Earth!
At this thought, Lin Xiao's long-suppressed emotions stirred, and a tingling sensation spread through his body. He even felt the air thick with the sometimes-cringey scent of budding romance!
Forget it. Besides, the bond between Weiwei and Ye Chen has naturally dissolved, so it will have minimal impact on my eventual fate.
And I'll have to leave sooner or later. Perhaps tonight... as her elder brother, I can give her one last life lesson and teach her how to mature!
At this moment, Lin Xiao felt a surge of all energies within him that could no longer be contained!
Suddenly, for the first time in his life, he completely shed his villainous persona. He gently cupped his junior sister's small face and, with a flick of his fingers, warm, wood-attribute True Qi brushed away her tears. Then, his handsome eyes closed slightly as he lightly kissed her forehead.
"Ah..." Being kissed so proactively by her Eldest Senior Brother, Chu Youwei's cheeks turned peach-pink, her heart raced even faster, and she let out a soft, kitten-like moan.
At the same time, enveloped in an unprecedented wave of happiness, she boldly reached out and wrapped her arms around her Eldest Senior Brother's waist.
"So, Eldest Senior Brother... you accept Weiwei's feelings, right?" The girl's burgeoning chest heaved dramatically. Her breath came in short, hurried gasps, fragrant as orchids, as if she were breathless.
"I..." Under the girl's expectant gaze, Lin Xiao's own face reddened slightly. He braced himself and began, "Actually, Eldest Senior Brother..."
He didn't finish his words. His mouth was once again blocked by something. He opened his eyes wide to see, illuminated by the beautiful moonlight, a delicate and lovely face, flushed crimson, her eyes closed in an expression of pure bliss!
Heavens, Third Junior Sister, you... you're incredibly daring! Lin Xiao mused. Over the years, living on Divine Phoenix Peak surrounded by beauties, he had certainly fantasized about this day. But his imagined romantic conquests had always been Second Junior Sister Guo Yourong, or that paragon of combat power and beauty from Fairy Cliff... He never imagined... that the first to make a move would be this most demure and virtuous Third Junior Sister, as pure and innocent as a little white rabbit!
While Lin Xiao was distracted, a familiar female voice came from halfway down the mountain:
"Eldest Senior Brother, Junior Brother Huaizhen told me you were on Bright Moon Cliff?"
"Regarding next month's Five Branches Martial Arts Meeting... Yurong has a favor to ask!"
What the hell!? Why on earth had Second Junior Sister come looking for him?
Lin Xiao's heart jolted. He instantly sobered up and quickly patted Chu Youwei's small face, who was still lost in their kiss. "Weiwei, your Second Senior Sister is here! We need to be careful!"
Yes, Third Junior Sister's persona was definitely beyond saving now, but he couldn't let Second Junior Sister be led astray as well!
Their cheeks quickly separated, but their bodies still maintained an embracing stance.
Just at this moment—
WHOOSH—
A light sword wind swept through the void, invisible Sword Qi surged, and a stunningly beautiful young woman in red, with an impressive figure, descended on her sword from a hundred zhang high like a thunderbolt.
She was Guo Yourong, the top Sword Cultivator genius of Qinglan Sect's younger generation, the direct second disciple of Divine Phoenix Peak, whose skill could rival that of Zhu Wanning, the chief disciple of Phoenix Caw Peak!
"You... you two!" Seeing her Eldest Senior Brother, the idealized love of her life, in such an intimate position with her own Third Junior Sister, Guo Yourong's beautiful face instantly turned crimson. She spun around, bit her lip, and said, "Never... never mind! Eldest Senior Brother! It seems Yurong has come at an inconvenient time. I apologize for disturbing you and Third Junior Sister's private moment!"
"Hey! You... Second Junior Sister, you might be misunderstanding. I, your Eldest Senior Brother, hope you calm down a little." Lin Xiao forced himself to remain composed, adopting the air of the villainous Eldest Senior Brother, and raised an eyebrow.
However, Chu Youwei, who was by his side, unlike her usual shy and introverted self, stood up. She took the initiative to walk towards the imposing Second Senior Sister and, puffing out her chest as if making a statement, said, "Well, Second Senior Sister, as you can see, Eldest Senior Brother and I have already..."
She didn't finish her sentence. A large hand suddenly shot out from behind, grabbed her by her slender, fair neck, and brazenly pulled her into an embrace!
"Eldest Senior Brother.....?" Chu Youwei was initially taken aback, then her eyes glowed with excitement as she thought:
So... Eldest Senior Brother is planning to announce our relationship in front of Second Senior Sister?
The thought had barely formed when she heard her Eldest Senior Brother behind her laugh heartily. Then, he unexpectedly reached out his other hand towards Second Junior Sister Guo Yourong, pulling her into his embrace as well!
Thus, he held a beautiful girl in each arm!
At this moment, if any other disciples saw this scene of him with a beauty in each arm, they would surely be green with envy over the romantic bliss enjoyed by this Eldest Senior Brother of Divine Phoenix Peak!
"Yurong, you came at just the right time."
"How long has it been since the three of us—senior brother and junior sisters—admired the moon together?"
Lin Xiao gazed at the two junior sisters in his arms, both blushing, their hearts pounding, a corner of his handsome lips curling into the most charming smile he had ever shown.
DING!
"You have successfully restored the villain's persona!"
"You received a random reward: Energy+10, 'Double Cultivation Secret Technique: Wheel Method' (High-Tier Auxiliary Technique) x1 (Stored in the storage space, ready for the host to load at any time)"
Ah, this... this damn strategy works too?
.....
.....
「Meanwhile. Phoenix Caw Peak, Enforcement Hall.」
"Old Shi! I... am I going to die? I see a green light everywhere, I can't see a thing!"
In the dungeon, a young man in black robes, his hands bound by iron shackles, was howling in pain.
"Alright, alright, young friend, quiet down and focus on healing! Your eyes were burned by the Battle Qi of that girl with the Zhu surname and an Asura Battle Physique. If that Old Taoist Yuanyi hadn't arrived in time, you probably would have..."
"Never mind. We're at their mercy now; we can only endure. I heard Su Mei, the Chairman of this Phoenix Caw Peak, is a true femme fatale. It's uncertain if we'll even make it out of here alive... Sigh..."
From the black ring on the young man's right index finger, came an old and weak sigh.
