My Senior Brother is Too Steady Chapter 49

“Huh~

“Why do I dislike this…

“Eh, it's very revealing… Isn't this just adding two pieces of cloth behind another piece of cloth? Wouldn't I corrupt someone's eyes if I wear this out?

“This is even more alluring. The most important place is not even covered well! Did Fourth Senior Sister wear this for Fifth Senior Brother to see?

“No, that's not right. I think I have to wear them all…

Hee hee, he he…

Since early morning, Jiu Jiu had been busy in her house until the afternoon. She had always been standing in front of her house with her delicate hands on the doorknob, unable to pull it open for the time being.

‘I just have to go out for a stroll!

‘Yes, I just have to go out for a stroll…'

After taking in a light breath, Jiu Jiu slowly pulled open the wooden door in front of her and stepped out with her blue embroidered flower cloth shoes.

In a split second, there was a rainbow in the mountain farmland shrouded by this large array formation.

A few gazes were seen, and voices were heard…

When they heard a few clanking sounds, the disciples going to draw water in the Pill Chamber had a slip on their carrying poles, the disciples clearing up the weeds in the flowerbed dropped their hoes, while the young ladies holding onto a few bottles of pills threw the trays in their hands.

“Ahem!”

Jiu Jiu cleared her throat and walked half a step forward with her hands behind her back. She subconsciously straightened her body with her head high, scanning every place calmly.

A few male disciples quickly lowered their heads and pretended not to see it, but they secretly looked up to take a few peeks. A young man, who had just gone up the mountains not long ago, flushed red.

‘It's no big deal! Isn't wearing anything the same? I didn't offend public morals. I'm wearing more than my usual short dress and blouse.'

Jiu Jiu licked her lips, looking very hesitant. However, she quickly made up her mind. She had nearly forgotten to summon the huge gourd that she had brought out and turned it ten feet long.

She was supposed to get used to sitting up. However, it was awkward when she thought about her current dressing—she was in a light pink dress, which was made from unknown material but was still light.

Therefore, she gathered up her dress and gently crossed her leg over the other. She sat on the front of the huge gourd and rose to the sky.

Just when she flew out of the Heaven-Breaking Peak, she saw a short Daoist with dark circles on both eyes on the white clouds. He drifted over slowly while holding onto a scroll.

Jiu Jiu stopped her gourd, used her immortal power on it, and coughed deliberately.

“Cough! Cough, cough!”

Jiu Wu, who passed by, looked up at her and revealed a courteous smile to her. He cupped his fists while holding onto the scroll and landed halfway on the mountain.

Jiu Jiu froze and rolled her eyes before sitting on the gourd and continued her journey.

Jiu Wu, who had landed in a large array, looked down all of a sudden.

“I seem to have seen… Junior Sister just now?

“No, that's not right. She has always been wearing the same set of clothes for hundreds of years. How could she have dressed like that?

“I must have seen it wrongly.

“I'm at the losing end recently. Fortunately, Senior Sister is finally in seclusion. I can finally replenish my strength.”

After sighing, Jiu Wu continued studying the '32 Methods of Cultivating Essence and Consolidating Qi' scroll in his hands while going towards his house.

Just when he walked into his house, the short Daoist smelled a lingering fragrance from a fairy and could not help but feel an inexplicable chill.

His body had responded. It was purely a physical response.

He had always been deeply attracted to Fourth Senior Sister, with his love being more than gold. He definitely was not afraid at all!

Jiu Wu then recalled his heroic performance during this period and revealed a knowing smile…

Ever since he had drunk the Poisonous Dragon Wine concocted by Martial Nephew Changshou, even though his waist had become more flexible, he had much more confidence before his senior sister, and he was on better terms with his Dao companion. Cultivating the Dao to seek longevity became more pleasurable and interesting.

However, he was still unhappy about that brat playing tricks on him.

Jiu Wu muttered to himself and was lost in thoughts as he sat behind the desk.

‘Pay someone back his own coins?

‘Develop something similar to this pill to lure him to this array formation?

‘This brat might really endure it and won't be embarrassed… Then I'll ask Little Jiu to help add fuel to the fire?

‘Um, that will not work. Am I giving him benefits or playing a trick on him? If Junior Sister doesn't retaliate, wouldn't I be at the losing end!?

‘I'm restricted by that oath to have a battle of wits and guts with this brat! I have lesser ways, but this is even more interesting.'

“Wait for it, little thief! I will eventually find your loophole!”

When Jiu Jiu flew to the sky above the Little Qiong Peak, she pursed her lips and could not help muttering to herself, “Seriously, how come these few people I met on the way sized me up with a strange gaze? Aren't they afraid of being beaten up?”

The huge gourd slowly landed. Her spiritual senses scanned the Little Ling Peak to find that Li Changshou was teaching Lan Ling'e.

Jiu Jiu blinked her eyes and deliberately concealed her aura fluctuation. She wanted to see how the two of them would react when she suddenly appeared.

She wouldn't scare them, right?

Jiu Jiu frowned and felt somewhat helpless.

As she sneakily approached the straw hut, she heard a clear voice from inside even from a distance.

“The state of mind is insignificant, and the Dao manifests in it; The Qi returns to the sea, and condenses in the primordial soul.

“In this sentence, the hardest thing to understand is ‘the Qi returns to the sea'. The Qi here does not refer to one's cultivated Dharma powers, clear Qi, or turbid Qi. It refers to the little connate essence Qi in one's body.

“This is a treasure from the mother's womb, and is very important for cultivators…”

Li Changshou was sitting on a round-backed chair in the house, looking very relaxed. Lan Ling'e was listening carefully to him on the meditation cushion.

Jiu Jiu walked into the house quietly on tiptoes. Then, she turned around and lifted her arms to do a tiger claw posture while rushing inside and shouting, “Hurrah!”

Lan Ling'e, who sat sitting with her eyes closed, could not help but laugh. On the other hand, Li Changshou put the sutra from his hand down helplessly and looked at Jiu Jiu, who had changed her dressing, with a smile.

Jiu Jiu widened her eyes and said, “Why aren't you guys frightened?”

Lan Ling'e pretended to be flustered and slightly shouted, “Aiya! I've been scared by Martial Aunt!”

However, just when she turned her head, she could not help but exclaim, “Martial Aunt, why are you suddenly… suddenly wearing a dress?”

“What's wrong? Can't I wear it?”

Jiu Jiu secretly observed Li Changshou's reaction. When she turned in a circle in front of Lan Ling'e, her dress and beautiful hair floated lightly, causing the house to be filled with a faint fragrance.

At that moment, Lan Ling'e was also secretly watching her senior brother's reaction. When she found him nodding his head with a smile, she was slightly relieved.

‘It's good that Senior Brother wasn't startled.'

Lan Ling'e said in a soft laugh, “Of course, you can. Martial Aunt is usually very pretty, but you're even more dazzling now. I wouldn't dare to drift on the white cloud with you!”

Jiu Jiu blinked her eyes at Li Changshou. “Changshou, what… do you think?”

“Very nice.” Li Changshou nodded his head and praised her.

When a woman had a good relationship with himself, just like his junior sister and martial aunt in front of him, and they suddenly changed into a new dress or a new piece of head ornament, and sought praises, he should not be stingy with praises as an elegant man.

However, when he thought that there might have been misunderstandings the day before, Li Changshou added, “I might be a little not used to it after looking at it all of a sudden.”

“I see.”

Jiu Jiu looked down at what she had matched after carefully picking them for half a day, looking somewhat disappointed.

At the side, Lan Ling'e sighed in her heart.

‘Senior Brother is still like this, as expected…

‘It's really too hard to approach such a person like him who can't wait to refuse any karma.

‘This is troublesome, indeed.'

Lan Ling'e very soon revealed a faint, slight smile and took the initiative to go over. She whispered at Jiu Jiu's ear, “Martial Aunt, is this your first time dressing up like this?”

Jiu Jiu quickly replied, “Yes, that's right. I wanted to change my dressing style all of a sudden.”

“When you're dressed like this, having light makeup is more suitable.” Lan Ling'e whispered something at Jiu Jiu's ear, and Jiu Jiu's eyes lit up before she pulled Lan Ling'e to behind the screen at the side.

Upon seeing that, Li Changshou shook his head slightly and continued to read with the slip held up. When he heard them chattering with a low voice, he thought a little in his heart without any change in his expression.

Not long after, amid Lan Ling'e's constant exclamation, Jiu Jiu came out from behind the screen and looked at Li Changshou while being pleased with herself.

“How's this?”

Li Changshou looked up and smiled even wider.

At that moment, it seemed that his martial aunt had become another person. She had put on face powder, drew the ends of her eyebrows thinly, put on some rouge, moistened her red lips, wore a thin silk skirt and a lined jacket, and had phoenix tail braids. She seemed more exquisite than before and had more feminine charms.

“Not bad.” Li Changshou showed her a thumbs-up. “You are the top three most beautiful among the women I've seen!”

“Really?”

Jiu Jiu blinked her eyes. For some reason, the kind of strange, subtle feelings entangled in her heart over the past two days had dissipated. She felt happy and relieved as a result.

“Of course, it's true. Do you have a misunderstanding of your own charms?” Li Changshou replied with a smile, “Martial Aunt, you usually don't wear makeup, and you're already a person that many male disciples in the sect admire.”

“Pooh, how can that be?” Jiu Jiu rolled her eyes, but her eyes were still smiling. She said indifferently, “I don't care much about these. After all, I cultivate the Dao to seek longevity.

“Let's not talk about this. Are you still giving a lesson?

“If you're not going to do so, let's play Fight the Great Gods!”

Li Changshou said, “Giving a lesson is something I need to do after all…”

“Martial Aunt, you rarely come here!” Lan Ling'e hugged Jiu Jiu's arm. “Fight the Great Gods!”

Li Changshou could not help but rest his forehead on his hand. How could it be ‘rarely' when she came around seven to eight times a month?

Jiu Jiu firmly agreed. “Fight the Great Gods!”

“Alright. Since the two of you are so excited, we'll find a chance to give Ling'e another lesson later on.”

Li Changshou shook his head. The two of them were already cheering at the side, and skillfully set up the short table and cushions.

When she sat down, Jiu Jiu felt somewhat awkward. She used Li Changshou's straw hut next door to change back into her most comfortable hemp garment, short blouse, and short skirt. She replaced the shoes with embroidered flowers into soft, comfortable, special straw shoes and removed the light makeup on her face.

This straw was not just ordinary straw. This was the immortal grass that Jiu Wu had meticulously nurtured…

This was indeed much more comfortable.

Before Jiu Jiu went out of the straw hut, she recalled Li Changshou's tone earlier on.

‘Top three most beautiful!'

Jiu Jiu unconsciously smiled and mumbled, “This brat is really disgraceful. He even dared to say such things.”

Jiu Jiu opened the door and rushed to the straw hut next door like the wind. Competing voices were heard after some time…

“Fight the Great Gods!”

“Double!”

“Extra double!”

“You're the great god this round. I'm a little immortal. Extra double. I have 12 Spirit Stones at the moment.”

“Make your move, Ling'e!

“I have 17 cards. Can you defeat me today?”

When it was quiet in the middle of the night, Li Changshou left the straw hut.

His martial aunt and junior sister were a little drunk. At the moment, they were sound asleep on the bed. He was in charge of closing the door and opening the array, lest their pitiful look was seen by others the next morning.

When he returned to the Pill Chamber, he entered the secret underground room. Li Changshou sat on the meditation cushion at the corner, closed his eyes, and concealed his spirit and Qi.

A ball of orange-red flame slowly condensed between his palms and was later absorbed into his body. It started to slowly roam around and forge his primordial soul and Dao Body.

Nine-petaled lotus flowers slowly circulated him. At the moment, these lotus flowers were the size of a fist, and the veined patterns on them were incomparably clear. They had become more perfect and had indistinct, mysterious Dao runes.

However, Li Changshou still felt that it was lacking. Thus, he was hesitant to enter the Ninth Stage of the Dao Requital Realm.
