Chapter 15: Let’s go back to the Wishing General Store!

As if floating in the very center of the sea.

Utterly quiet.

The fractured rays of the setting sun made it impossible to open one’s eyes.

Her body felt so light, floating rootless and untethered, completely out of control.

“…Little, Li, wait… mmph… wait a moment.”

– Lifespan Increased: One hour.

Su Li’er murmured in a soft, coquettish voice, “Not waiting, I want more.”

Song Ruoxue’s cheeks were scorching hot, her breathing ragged. “This kind of thing… mmph… mmmph… can’t…”

Slurp slurp slurp.

‘Stupid Sect Master, become my supply pack!’

‘This is for being so cold to me before.’

‘For acting so aloof.’

‘For being a big ice block.’

‘Hmph, aren’t you still being thoroughly suppressed by me?’

‘Hehe, your face is beet red, you must be so shy, right?’

‘Being forcefully kissed by your junior sister, the great ice mountain Sect Master’s persona is about to shatter~~~’

– Lifespan Increased: One hour.

“Mmmph… stop…” Song Ruoxue mumbled indistinctly, resisting weakly.

‘Stupid Sect Master, still trying to run?’

Su Li’er quickly wrapped her arms around Song Ruoxue’s head, holding on with all her might.

‘Hmph, still trying to run?’

‘Watch me bite you to death!’

“Ah… mmph!?… Little… Li?…”

‘Ehehe.’

‘That hurt, didn’t it?’

‘Stupid Sect Master, trying to dodge! I haven’t absorbed enough lifespan yet!’

– Lifespan Increased: One hour.

‘Oho, so the stupid Sect Master likes being bitten… Awoo, another bite!’

Song Ruoxue’s entire body trembled noticeably.

– Lifespan Increased: One hour.

‘Ahahaha, the stupid Sect Master likes being bitten… I’ll take another bite… eh? Wait!’

A strong force pushed her, and her hands were thrown off.

Su Li’er was stunned and dazed, her small mouth still open, revealing a glimpse of her little canine teeth.

Song Ruoxue’s face was flushed with shame and anger, her eyes seemingly about to spit fire.

“Little… Li!”

“Ah… ha, Sect Master, what’s wrong?… Heavy, heavy, heavy!”

Su Li’er was utterly shocked. ‘I-I-I’m being mounted!?’

‘So heavy… when did the stupid Sect Master get on top of me…’

“So you said you wanted a kiss, but you actually wanted to bite me. So naughty!” Song Ruoxue’s eyes were slightly cold, but her face was even redder. She extended a well-defined, jade-like hand.

“Sect Master… Little Li… can’t breathe…” Su Li’er’s expression was pained.

A cold hand clasped her neck, cutting off her breath and resistance, bringing with it a huge sense of crisis.

A flicker of impulse flashed in Song Ruoxue’s eyes. With a violently pounding heart and a sense of shame and anger, she leaned down.

A cascade of black hair enveloped everything in sight.

There wasn’t even time to catch a breath…

‘I-It’s over, the stupid Sect Master doesn’t play by the rules!’

‘Don’t, don’t, don’t come over here ahhhhh…’

“Eek!!!” Su Li’er’s eyes widened. A metallic taste of blood filled her mouth… along with a sharp pain that frightened her even more.

Due to the extreme lack of oxygen, she instinctively resisted.

“Learned your lesson?” Song Ruoxue licked the corner of her lips and asked softly.

“I know… Little Li was wrong… huff, huff!” Su Li’er’s eyes were brimming with tears as she greedily gasped for air, a glistening bead of moisture hanging from her lips.

“Then obediently accept your punishment.” A faint smile appeared on Song Ruoxue’s lips as she leaned down again.

“…No, don’t, don’t!… Little Li already knows she was wrong, mmph… wuwuwu!” Su Li’er kicked her legs frantically.

‘Vicious Song Ruoxue!’

‘You bad person…’

Amidst the pain and warmth, a final voice echoed in her mind.

– Lifespan Increased: 24 hours.

****

The sunset at the Sword Sect possessed a unique kind of beauty.

Standing on the highest peak, the heavenly light was brilliant and clear.

Su Li’er squatted by the main gate, drawing circles on the ground with a twig, endlessly muttering, “Stupid Sect Master… drawing a circle to curse you.”

Song Ruoxue stood awkwardly to the side, hesitating for a long time. “Little Li? Dinner is ready, would you like to eat?”

“Stupid Sect Master… stupid Sect Master… stupid Sect Master…” Su Li’er continued to ignore everything, ceaselessly drawing circles with the twig.

“Time—to—eat—!” Song Ruoxue enunciated each word, reaching out to grab the back of the junior sister’s collar.

Then, a force pulled on the back of Su Li’er’s collar, lifting her feet off the ground. She became extremely nervous. “No! The stupid Sect Master bullied me, I’m not eating!”

Song Ruoxue coughed twice, feigning composure. “There’s your favorite fried tofu.”

“Really!?” Su Li’er was overjoyed. She threw away the twig and raised her hands high. “Quick, quick, quick, time to eat~”

Song Ruoxue’s mouth twitched.

‘Ever since today’s incident, the junior sister seemed to have become even more disobedient, or perhaps… spoiled by affection?’

She just had that feeling.

“Awoo~ Delicious, so delicious!” Su Li’er ate with great relish. ‘Oops, bad, I almost let my fox tail show.’

“Eat more.” Song Ruoxue rested her cheek on her hand, her gaze soft.

“Isn’t the Sect Master eating?” Su Li’er puffed her cheeks, blinking innocently.

“It’s all for you.”

“I still won’t forgive the Sect Master… huff~ delicious!” Su Li’er expressed her dissatisfaction with her eyes.

“Alright, alright.” Song Ruoxue was helpless. Recalling what had happened in the restaurant, her heart couldn’t help but race.

In a moment of weakness, she couldn’t hold back… and ended up bullying her junior sister quite fiercely.

‘Really now.’

‘I absolutely cannot do that again next time…’

Little Angel: ‘Song Ruoxue, oh Song Ruoxue, the junior sister doesn’t hate you that much, she’s just throwing a tantrum. It means she wants to be treated like this too. To back down is to give up an opportunity, you have to seize it!’

Little Demon: ‘Dear Sect Master of the Sword Sect, haven’t you always wanted to get closer to the junior sister? This is a rare opportunity. While Junior Sister is still clueless, let’s quickly take the next step and devour her completely!’

‘Go away, go away.’

‘Damn it, you dumb little figures.’

Song Ruoxue shook her head vigorously.

‘The junior sister is meant to be cherished, not bullied!’

‘As for my feelings for the junior sister… I should try to restrain them for now, so I don’t scare her.’

‘When the junior sister also understands these feelings, then we can do what couples do…’

“Delicious, delicious~ Hic!” Su Li’er let out a satisfied hiccup, happily shaking her head gently. ‘This is what I love!’

“Are you full?” Song Ruoxue returned to her senses, her eyes filled with a smile.

“Yep,” Su Li’er replied lazily.

“How is your body?” Song Ruoxue asked.

“Not very good,” Su Li’er admitted frankly. She had 28 hours of lifespan left, about a day and a bit… she had to find a way to absorb more lifespan quickly!

“Then what do you plan to do?” Song Ruoxue asked again.

“I want to rest.” Su Li’er’s mood dipped slightly. ‘Getting close to the great ice mountain Sect Master is probably impossible now… there’s no opportunity and no reason.’

‘I’ll have to find another way… I really need to go back to the Wish General Store.’

“To be honest, I’m planning to go down the mountain again,” Song Ruoxue said suddenly.

“Go down the mountain?” Su Li’er couldn’t help but worry. “The Sect Master’s source of life is injured again, right? Because of me…”

—A soft touch caressed her head.

Su Li’er instinctively narrowed her eyes and let out a sound, “Mmm…”

“It’s alright.” Song Ruoxue thought for a moment, hesitating a few times. . “We can just find some special medical techniques to treat it.”

“I see…” Su Li’er was lost in thought.

‘In that case, I’ll go down the mountain and back to the general store too, and find a way to absorb some lifespan.’
