“Senior Sister, I’m clean.”
Fang Xuan pushed open the bamboo hut’s door, dressed in clean inner robes.
Ning Xian was sitting in the courtyard. Hearing him, she looked up, her clear, cold eyes examining him from head to toe.
She then tried to maintain a serious tone: “Are you clean?”
“Yes, perfectly clean.”
Fang Xuan nodded honestly. For some reason, he felt that everything he said tonight carried a strange double meaning... Was it just his imagination?
....
A perfectly clean junior brother... Ning Xian’s throat bobbed, and she quickly averted her gaze. No, she couldn’t go soft and abandon the punishment now.
She had to punish him severely. Her junior brother had been too disobedient lately, even daring to... daring to defy her in bed. Her Senior Sister’s authority had to be maintained.
Fang Xuan casually ran a hand through his hair.
Ning Xian watched him... His long hair was partially unbound, making his features appear even clearer and more handsome. Dressed in an outer robe, his sash tied, he looked fresh and crisp, and indeed... very handsome in the warm glow of dusk.
And her junior brother claimed he wasn’t seducing her... This look clearly was.
But it was still early outside. The last rays of the sunset had only just painted half the sky red. Never mind. Ning Xian suddenly stood up, walked to Fang Xuan, grabbed his hand, and led him into the house.
“Senior Sister?” Fang Xuan was a little confused. Didn’t she say tonight? It wasn’t even dark yet.
Ning Xian pressed her lips together, pulling him into the house without explanation. She feigned composure and said, “Cough... The Transformation Realm breakthrough is imminent, just listen to Senior Sister.”
Fang Xuan blinked, being pulled along: “Oh.”
Once pulled into the inner room, Ning Xian closed the door behind them. Only a small oil lamp was lit inside.
They stood facing each other, very close, able to feel each other’s breath. Ning Xian took a deep breath, lifted her chin, and tried hard to look ‘fierce’ like a Senior Sister should.
But her slightly trembling eyelashes and flushed ear tips betrayed her: “Hurry, acc... accept your punishment.”
“Okay,” Fang Xuan obediently replied.
....
Her junior brother was so obedient... Ning Xian’s heart softened, and she almost wanted to let him off.
No, wasn’t last night’s lesson profound enough? She had to make him understand Senior Sister’s power.
“Hurry, take off your clothes.” She turned her face away, commanding him stiffly, not quite daring to look at him.
Fang Xuan began to untie his sash as instructed. His outer robe slipped off, then his inner robes...
Ning Xian caught a glimpse out of the corner of her eye, and her heart rate uncontrollably quickened again. She forced herself to turn back and look straight ahead.
Only to meet Fang Xuan’s smiling eyes. “Senior Sister, I’m undressed.”
Ning Xian felt her face flush. She forced herself to walk to the bed and sit down, then lifted one foot.
Her slender, pale jade foot, glistening enchantingly in the dim lamplight, her toes subtly curled...
“Co... come here,” she commanded. Fang Xuan walked over and lay down at her feet, looking up at her with clear, innocent eyes.
Ning Xian bit her lower lip, steeled herself, and lightly pressed the sole of her bare foot onto Fang Xuan’s chest. The touch was warm and firm; she could feel his steady heartbeat. Her toes involuntarily curled again.
“Are you wrong?” she asked, trying to make her voice sound intimidating.
Fang Xuan felt the cool, soft touch on his chest, narrowing his eyes in comfort, and was about to obediently admit his mistake.
【training task guidance.】
【Facing the master’s punishment, one should display moderate rebellion and defiance to ignite the master’s stronger desire for discipline!】
【During this punishment, please explicitly defy the master’s command or deny wrongdoing at least three times.】
【Task Reward: milk-flavored bun → upgraded to crispy cream bun (more refined spiritual energy, with a slight soul nourishing effect)!】
Fang Xuan: “...” Crispy cream bun? Sounds like it tastes better? And it has a soul nourishing effect.
He definitely wasn’t doing it to be trained harder by Senior Sister... Cough cough... He was just doing it for the training bun.
.......
So... The apology he was about to say instantly vanished. He cleared his throat and looked up at Ning Xian, who was trying hard to maintain a stern face: “Senior Sister, where did I go wrong?”
Ning Xian’s foot on his chest pressed down slightly harder: “You still... aren’t wrong?”
Last night, he forced her to say embarrassing words like, “I... I want it.” And he wasn’t wrong? Not only did he refuse to admit fault today, but he dared to question her back? A disobedient junior brother deserved a severe punishment.
“I’m not wrong,” Fang Xuan declared righteously, following the task’s instructions.
Ning Xian froze, then an emotion, whether annoyance or something else, welled up within her. Fine, he dared to talk back.
“Very good, talking back to Senior Sister again.”
Her foot pressed down harder, tracing a path down his chest.
She knew, in truth, her junior brother might not have done anything ‘wrong.’ But punishing him like this, seeing him endure or react because of her, gave her a strange thrill... Then... she would just go along with it. Anyway, she admitted she was a lustful Senior Sister, she had no shame, she just craved her junior brother’s body.
Ning Xian felt she had found a better reason. She withdrew her foot, and under Fang Xuan’s questioning gaze, she leaned closer to him, carrying a cool fragrance and a hint of fierce resolve: “You... you lie still, don’t move,” she commanded, her small face flushed. “I... I’ll take over.”
Fang Xuan blinked: “Okay.” Then he truly relaxed his body, looking as if he were ready for anything.
.......
Several hours later. The spring faded in the room...
Ning Xian lay draped over Fang Xuan, her entire body aching, too lazy to even move a fingertip.
She barely managed to prop herself up a little, looking at Fang Xuan’s refreshed face below her. That lingering bit of Senior Sister’s authority resurfaced. Her voice was soft and sweet, yet she tried to be serious: “Do... do you know your mistake?”
Fang Xuan savored the recent ‘punishment,’ feeling incredibly comfortable. The system task was also complete. Hearing her, he lazily curved his lips: “I don’t know.”
Ning Xian: “...” Damn it. She was still thinking of punishing him, but her whole body was limp, and she truly had no strength left.
Fang Xuan, however, suddenly flipped over, effortlessly changing positions, enveloping her beneath him. He lowered his head, breathing warm air into her sensitive ear: “Senior Sister, do you know your mistake?”
Ning Xian’s body trembled from his sudden movement, and she instinctively tried to push him away: “No... you can’t, I... I’m your Senior Sister...”
“Senior Sister,” Fang Xuan mischievously, successfully causing her to shiver.
“Quick, say you’re wrong, or I won’t move.”
“No, you can’t...” Ning Xian bit her lip, but her body honestly clung to him.
“Then Senior Sister, quickly say... you’re wrong.”
“I... I’m not wrong...” Ning Xian insisted stubbornly, though her voice was tinged with a sob.
Fang Xuan said nothing more, directly punishing his stubborn Senior Sister with action. He kissed her lips, parted her lips, conquering her until she melted into a pool of spring water, unable to utter another coherent word.
.......
Outside the window, the sky gradually changed from deep blue to ink black, then little by little, the faint light of dawn seeped through. It wasn’t until nearly daybreak that Ning Xian finally crumbled, begging for mercy with a tearful voice: “I... I was wrong... Mm~”
........
As passion receded, reason slowly returned. Ning Xian curled up in Fang Xuan’s arms, nuzzling into his warm neck, but a hint of... disappointment inexplicably welled up in her heart.
Beneath passion, when desire faded... did affection remain? She recalled that in the beginning, she too had half-coaxed and half-deceived him, using the guise of “assisting cultivation” and “Senior Sister’s guidance.”
But now...
“Do you think, doing this with Senior Sister... is just dual cultivation?” she asked cautiously.
She used to trick herself and him with this, hoping Fang Xuan would see it that way, keeping their relationship simple so she wouldn’t have to bear too much.
But now... she suddenly didn’t want it to be like that anymore. The thought that Fang Xuan might only see this as a way to improve his cultivation, or purely as physical pleasure, made her inexplicably sad and bittersweet.
“What... what are we now?” she asked again. But as soon as she asked, she immediately regretted it.
She was afraid of the answer... Afraid to hear responses like “dual cultivation partners,” “Senior Sister and Junior Brother,” or “fleeting romance”... She would rather remain in this muddled state, deceiving herself, at least then she could still possess this moment’s warmth.
Fang Xuan tightened his arms, holding her closer: “Senior Sister has always been my only one...”
“...the only person I truly love.”
