Chapter 84: I Don’t Want to Be Your Sister!
“Young master just said that I’m your sister!”
Lan Yue’er spoke with a jealous tone. “Are you afraid she’ll misunderstand something?”
Hearing this, Ling Xue chuckled again. “Aren’t you my sister?”
“Of course not!” Lan Yue’er denied immediately.it
I’ve never thought about being your sister, not from the beginning.
“Are you interested in her?” Lan Yue’er asked directly.
Ling Xue didn’t answer her question head-on, only replying faintly, “She… is useful.”
“You won’t even answer me directly! So it’s true!”
Lan Yue’er pouted, letting out a soft huff.
Damn it, it’s all because I haven’t been by his side for the past few years, she thought bitterly.
Now he’s interested in another woman. I never planned to let my childhood sweetheart fall into someone else’s hands!
From the beginning, I’ve always intended to marry him when we grew up.
But now… it seems I might not have the chance anymore, she thought sadly.
After all, Yun Luoxi is exceptionally beautiful. It’s only natural for Ling Xue to be moved by her.
“Jealous?” Ling Xue flicked her smooth forehead playfully.
Lan Yue’er huffed again, pouting deeply, just like she used to when they were younger.
After a light laugh, Ling Xue didn’t say more, his gaze drifting to the Dragon-Taming Manual in her hands.
Noticing his look, Lan Yue’er returned to the matter at hand. “This… should go to you!”
As she spoke, she handed the scroll to him.
Even though her mother left it for her, she didn’t believe she was suited to command the dragon race.
She felt she wasn’t capable of such a task.
Better to let Ling Xue handle it.
Ling Xue didn’t hesitate to accept.
This Dragon-Taming Manual was something he had been wanting.
Then, he took the scroll.
“She’s useful, but what about me? Am I not useful?” Lan Yue’er asked with a hint of hurt.
If it weren’t for my persistence over the years, the Dragon-Taming Manual would’ve been lost already.
Where else would you get your hands on it? She thought.
Ling Xue smiled softly, reaching out to ruffle her hair. “You’ve been through a lot over the years.”
She had indeed suffered, being imprisoned alone in the Thirty-Six Immortal Palaces, enduring endless loneliness and hardship.
Upon hearing those words, Lan Yue’er’s eyes started to well up.
She had been through so much, but it was mostly mental torment.
Locked in the palace, there wasn’t a single person she could confide in, trapped for so many years.
Only she knew how suffocating it had been.
“Father is dead, mother is gone too! I have no family left in this world!”
Lan Yue’er’s moist eyes gazed at the foggy, poisonous mist that surrounded the Broken Sword Tomb.
Her father had died here.
And her mother had passed away in the Thirty-Six Immortal Palaces.
After her mother’s death, she had even considered ending it all, feeling there was no point in going on.
But then she thought of Ling Xue, and remembered her mother’s dying wish, and she held on.
Year after year, she persisted.
“Aren’t I your family?”
Ling Xue smiled gently, pulling her into his arms with a tender embrace.
Feeling his embrace, Lan Yue’er closed her eyes.
After a while, she suddenly lifted her head and stared at Ling Xue with determination.
“Young Master!”
“Hm?”
Ling Xue looked at her.
In the next instant, she gathered all her courage, stood on her tiptoes, and boldly kissed him!
We’ve both grown up now. If I don’t take the initiative, he might be stolen by someone else.
He might be completely taken by that Yun Luoxi! she thought, as her heart raced.
So, she made up her mind to be bolder!
Her deep blue hair, matching her long blue dress, floated gently in the colorful poisonous mist.
The kiss she initiated lasted for a long time.
Finally, she reluctantly let go.
Her entire face was burning, her cheeks as red as fire.
Her flushed face contrasted sharply with her blue attire.
She quickly turned away, her heart pounding in her chest.
“I… I don’t want to be your sister!” she shouted, her voice trembling.
“We’re not family!”
She needed Ling Xue to understand that she never intended to be his sister.
She wanted him to know that their relationship would never be that of siblings!
Of course, Ling Xue had known this all along.
He had known since they wthem ere young.
“You’re quite bold!”
Ling Xue commented casually.
Hearing this, Lan Yue’er’s heart sank.
Is he… mad?
Does he not like what I just did? she wondered in a panic.
If I’ve upset him… what if he stops talking to me?
Just as she was worrying, Ling Xue suddenly scooped her up into a princess carry from behind.
“Young Master?”
Her face grew even redder as she found herself in his arms again.
“When we get back… I’ll have to see whether or not you’ve grown up properly!”
Ling Xue’s lips curled into a mischievous smile.
At those words, Lan Yue’er sighed in relief.
Thank goodness, he doesn’t mind.
She huffed softly and pouted again, “I still want to see if you’ve grown up!”
With that, a ripple of space formed around Ling Xue, and he carried Lan Yue’er back to Cangyun Heavenly Mountain.
Moments later, they arrived at Ling Xue’s chambers.
And then, Ling Xue discovered that, indeed, Lan Yue’er had grown up.
And Lan Yue’er found out that Ling Xue had grown up too—very much so.
