Chapter 30: Xiao Li likes Big Sister Dragon a lot too…

When Su Li’er regained consciousness, she was surprised to find that her clothes were neatly arranged, and there were no signs of her having been touched.

She dazedly looked around. It was still the clean, classical-style bedroom.

It seems nothing terrible happened. Thank goodness.

Su Li’er soon noticed something out of place.

In front of the floor-to-ceiling window, Tang Yingyue was still sitting on the floor, her back to the bright scenery of the town, staring blankly, lost in thought.

“Big Sister Dragon, what just happened?” Su Li’er was puzzled.

In return, she only received a furious and resentful glare from Tang Yingyue. “I was molested.”

“Huh?” Su Li’er was stunned and quickly checked her clothes and body again.

“You were the one who molested me!” Tang Yingyue said fiercely.

“How is that possible?” Su Li’er pouted. “I’m not interested in demons.”

“That’s right, you’re not interested in demons!” Tang Yingyue’s face darkened even more. Even now, her chest still ached faintly, with a subtle and numbing aftertaste. “You child, you used me as a substitute for your Sect Master!”

“Uh…”

With this reminder, a strange memory slowly surfaced in Su Li’er’s mind. Good heavens, what have I done!

‘I’ve disgraced myself completely…’

‘No, no, I have to go home quickly!’

“Remembered now?” Tang Yingyue grumbled resentfully. “You perverted child, I’m going to go and tell your Sect Master.”

“Don’t!” Su Li’er was nervous. She put on a fawning smile and approached with a playful grin. “Dear Big Sister Dragon~ please don’t tell the Sect Master!”

“Hmph.” Tang Yingyue looked away.

‘Honestly!’

‘As the princess of the dragon-kin, I am an innocent maiden, okay!’

‘It’s one thing to be played with by you, child, but to be treated as a substitute for someone else… I can’t bear it, I can’t bear it at all!’

“Oh, Big Sister Dragon, calm down! Little Li actually really likes Big Sister Dragon too!” Su Li’er’s face was full of sincerity, her eyes sparkling. “The first time I saw Big Sister Dragon, Little Li’s heart couldn’t help but race. Big Sister Dragon is so beautiful, her legs are so long, Little Li was so captivated I couldn’t even walk…”

“You child.” Tang Yingyue laughed in anger.

“Big Sister Dragon may not believe me, but you can’t not believe Little Li’s heart. If you don’t believe me, you can feel it!” Su Li’er’s feelings were genuine as she puffed out her chest.

“Too small, I don’t believe you.”

“…Alright then, Little Li is so sad! I bravely confessed, yet I was rejected like this… Even so, Little Li will always like Big Sister Dragon. There may be many who admire Big Sister Dragon, but Little Li will always, always cherish this affection and this feeling of my heart fluttering!” Su Li’er mumbled with a wronged expression.

“Alright, alright!” The anger on Tang Yingyue’s face dissipated a lot. “I won’t argue with a child. I forgive you.”

“No!” Su Li’er lifted her small face, her watery eyes inspiring pity. “Little Li doesn’t want forgiveness! Big Sister Dragon, please don’t ignore Little Li’s feelings. Even just remembering a little bit is fine, otherwise… I will be very sad.”

Seeing this, Tang Yingyue’s expression stiffened. She looked a little awkward and a little uncertain.

‘This child, is she about to cry?’

‘Could she be serious?’

Tang Yingyue hesitated for a moment. “You’re still young, so I…”

“It’s alright!” Su Li’er quickly cut in and smiled gently. “Big Sister Dragon doesn’t need to say anymore. Little Li knows.”

After saying this, she walked over to the soft bed, sank into it, and sniffed the cotton fragrance of the bedding, relaxing from the day’s fatigue.

Phew, that was close.

‘I almost couldn’t hold it together.’

‘This should be fine. Ms. Dragon won’t go and complain to the Sect Master!’

‘When a problem arises that cannot be solved, create a new problem with a smaller risk and bring it out into the open!’

‘This way, the focus of attention will be temporarily diverted.’

‘And, this move of mine has another purpose: fishing!’

‘That’s right, the literal kind!’

After spending the day together, Su Li’er believed that Tang Yingyue was a good dragon. Although she looked very cunning, she was actually very kind. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have risked her life to save her in such a dangerous situation!

So, Su Li’er decided to see if she could absorb alluring energy through Tang Yingyue. Maybe the lifespan given by the dragon-kin would be even more!

‘I can’t just hang myself on one tree, right?’

‘What if one day the big ice cold Sect Master becomes aloof again? Then I’ll have no way out.’

‘Mmm, I’m such a genius!’

‘But to win over this dragon, the road is long and arduous… All in all, I will not give up!’

‘Since I have a goal, I must persevere bravely!’

Su Li’er was very satisfied with this move of hers. She couldn’t even help but lift the corners of her mouth. Of course, her face was buried in the bedding, so her cunning smile would not be exposed.

****

The sunset glow was brilliant, the sky was a romantic red.

At this time, it was the busiest time in Flower City. Through the floor-to-ceiling window, one could see the lights of the entire town being lit up one by one.

Su Li’er sat up sleepily and stretched.

By the floor-to-ceiling window, Tang Yingyue was still leaning against it. She had been meditating with her eyes closed, and only now did she open them. “Awake?”

Su Li’er nodded her little head and yawned. “I was so tired today, I fell asleep accidentally.”

“It’s alright, we’re safe now. Those guys didn’t come,” Tang Yingyue stated calmly.

Su Li’er asked with a bewildered expression, “Big Sister Dragon, why did you go and kill them?”

Tang Yingyue thought for a moment. “For revenge.”

“Is that so… I don’t get it.” Su Li’er scratched her head in embarrassment.

“The Heavenly Thunder Mansion colluded with my clansmen and started a fight within the clan. I have to kill all the people from the Heavenly Thunder Mansion first, and then go back and deal with the matters within the clan…” Tang Yingyue said indifferently.

“Oh, I see.” Su Li’er was deep in thought.

“The old Dragon King has passed away, and a new king is being elected recently, so there is internal strife. Now, with those guys from the Heavenly Thunder Mansion making a mess of things, if those guys and the clansmen with ill intentions ascend to the throne, the future of the dragon-kin will be very difficult.” Tang Yingyue shook her head. “Forget it, you probably won’t understand even if I tell you.”

“Little Li understands,” Su Li’er replied softly.

“Don’t worry about these things for me.” Tang Yingyue showed a smile, very light and faint. “I don’t have many friends. The relationship between my clansmen is more like that between superiors and subordinates. You are my first friend, although you are a child.”

“You can leave out that last sentence!” Su Li’er wrinkled her little nose. “Then where is Big Sister Dragon planning to go next? Your injuries haven’t healed yet, you can’t go and fight.”

“That’s right, my injuries are serious. I was hit by the Heavenly Thunder Art, and the residual lightning energy is still in my body,” Tang Yingyue’s eyes drooped slightly.

“Then what should we do!”

“It’s alright, that’s not the real Heavenly Dao lightning tribulation, it’s just a pseudo-lightning.” Tang Yingyue seemed to have made up her mind. “I’m preparing to find some esoteric arts and take the opportunity to heal all the old ailments I’ve accumulated.”

“Oh, oh, that’s great.” Su Li’er was much more relieved.

“Where is Little Li going?” Tang Yingyue asked.

“Me? I’m going home~~~ hehe.” Su Li’er was joyful. Since it was a perfect ending, I’ll go back to the general store, cook some instant noodles to eat. I’m craving it!

“Alright, then we’ll see each other later.” Tang Yingyue stretched her arms. Before leaving, she took one last deep look at the junior sister of the Sword Sect.

‘It seems the junior sister of the Sword Sect is really a human.’

‘I thought there would be some shocking gossip to hear….’

‘What a pity!’
