Chapter 225 Junior Sister’s ‘Reward’
It is cold in winter, but the sunshine at noon today is very bright, and it shines on Lotus Peak, making it seem warm and cozy.
You Su was playing backgammon with Ji Lingruo in the yard, while Wang Shu sat quietly beside him and learned this novel way of playing.
The girl placed a sunspot on the chessboard vigorously to vent her annoyance.
There was a rose cake bought from Gu Yueju on the table. You Su took a bite and raised his eyebrows lightly:
"Junior sister, is something bothering you?"
Ji Lingruo raised his head, holding a chess piece with his slender fingers, but he didn't drop it for a long time:
"Don't guess, I'm in a good mood."
The girl immediately placed the piece, holding her head and watching Fairy Wangshu, with her snowy hair dancing lightly, seemed to be thinking about how her senior sister cultivated?
In the days since returning to the mountain, Ji Lingruo has been completely lazy.
But if I don’t practice, won’t my cultivation level improve on my own?
If her cultivation level does not increase, how can she join the Evil Control Department as soon as possible and keep an eye on her senior brother? How can she fight side by side with her senior brother, and even kill her mother-killing enemy herself?
Every time Ji Lingruo thinks like this, she will make up her mind to practice hard for a while, but often before long, she will become distracted and unable to concentrate on her practice.
On the other hand, the girl can focus more when practicing the sword, because she only needs to follow the memorized sword skills to slash one by one.
It can be seen that the way of sitting quietly and practicing hard is really not suitable for her. Due to the defect of the demon elixir, she has basically not had the habit of focusing on hard training since she was so old.
Is there any cultivation method in this world that is neither boring nor torturous, but can also comfortably improve one’s cultivation level in a short period of time?
The girl sighed secretly, as if she was sighing how could there be such a good thing in this world?
Wait...it seems like there really is? !
Ji Lingruo suddenly turned around, staring at You Su with her beautiful eyes.
She had almost forgotten that the exercises she had learned for more than three years were not a cultivation method that perfectly suited her ideas.
"Senior brother...have you finished thinking about your new story?" Ji Lingruo's face brightened slightly and she asked casually.
"Just a little bit." You Su replied honestly.
In fact, he has basically determined the rudiment of the story, but he is still undecided on the name of the male protagonist.
"Are you even close? How many days have it been...why are you not in a hurry?"
Ji Lingruo asked with a hint of resentment.
Hearing this, You Su was uncertain about what to do, and couldn't help but think:
My book writing is a matter of slow and careful work, and I didn't edit or urge the manuscript. Why should I be in a hurry?
You Suduo is a smart person, and he immediately understood the implication of junior sister’s words:
Junior sister is complaining that I have been grinding so hard that the reward she has prepared for a long time cannot be given out. I am feeling anxious.
The corner of You Su's mouth rose: "I am more anxious than my junior sister, and this difference is just an insignificant point. The manuscript can be handed over to my junior sister for review as soon as today."
Ji Lingruo lowered his head in shame, thinking that today was too sudden...
"There is no need to rush when writing a book. It is shoddy and goes against the reputation I have accumulated before."
"Junior sister, don't worry, this is the work I have been recuperating for so many days, and it will definitely impress my junior sister."
Ji Lingruo's heartbeat suddenly accelerated as he said these words, and his mind was already filled with wild thoughts. Looking at the streaks of black stones on the chessboard, she seemed to see the black thread...
Fairy Wangshu didn't understand what code they were talking about, she only knew that her junior brother had a story to tell.
She also liked to listen to the stories told by You Su, and she couldn't help but have more expectations in her heart:
"Junior brother, can I listen too?"
This time the story telling is not as good as In the past, how could You Su let his senior sister accompany him.
Besides, the twists and turns of the story of The Legend of the Condor Heroes are too difficult for senior sister to understand.
So You Su said:
"Of course Senior Sister can listen, but I need to listen tomorrow. The stories I tell Senior Sister are all created by me and Junior Sister. When Junior Sister thinks the story is feasible, I will tell it to Senior Sister tomorrow."
"Yeah! "
Fairy Wangshu nodded frequently, her beautiful eyes shining brightly and said:
"I really want to go to the Qingqing Grassland to see them."
"There will be. That’s one day.”
You Suwen smiled.
Ji Lingruo raised her eyebrows slightly and thought, why does senior brother still treat him differently?
What I told her was an adult story, but why did I tell my senior sister a fun fairy tale?
Fairy Wangshu tilted her head slightly, her long white hair dancing in the wind, and said innocently:
"Junior Brother, why do you want to move Junior Sister's chess piece?"
< br>
"What?!"
Ji Lingruo jumped to her feet instantly, and then she understood the reason why neither she nor her senior sister could defeat her senior brother together.
The outcome of this competition to judge who should wash the dishes was determined by You Su's cheating.
……
The night is quiet.
Ji Lingruo was sitting in front of the dressing table, combing her half-wet and half-dry black hair. Her pretty face was flushed from the bath, and she had a lazy and ambiguous appearance.
Suddenly, the closed door was quietly pushed open, and a dark shadow slipped in accompanied by the chilly wind, closing the ajar door tightly along the way.
"Have you coaxed Senior Sister?"
You Su smiled brightly and found a seat to sit down:
"I don't want to tell Senior Sister how happy I am first. , there’s no guarantee she won’t be curious and come to listen together.”
Ji Lingruo knew this very well. It was no different than when he was still in Izumo City. He had to worry about having ears through the wall even if he got close to his senior brother.
The most important thing is that she is still a pure and lovable girl. She does not want to become a strange person in the eyes of her senior sister.
"In that case, tell me your carefully prepared story..."
Ji Lingruo's voice was almost inaudible, and she was annoyed that she was too unsure.
But then I thought about it, I had been deceiving myself. After all, from the moment she saw the sect's true name, didn't she foresee that such a day would come.
You Su also knew that he could not eat hot tofu in a hurry, so he started his own story.
The male protagonist of the story is not named Yang Guo, but an official disciple.
The reason why Yousu chose this name is from the word "tu" in the family's four walls, which means having nothing.
If you want to ask why the surname is Guan, it is of course because after all, Master is Master Niang’s Taoist companion on the surface. To compare with He’s surname, it is natural to have the surname ‘Guan’.
In You Su's narration, he omitted the tedious past events and focused on the story between the official and his apprentice and He Shutong.
The two masters and apprentices have been in love for a long time, and their love is deep and righteous. However, they are helpless because of the sinister and dangerous rivers and lakes. The invasion of cavalry from other countries makes it difficult for the lovers to get married. After many ups and downs and tests, the officials and apprentices finally transformed from masters and apprentices into "heroic lovers" with He Shutong.
At the same time, in this twists and turns story, the officials and disciples also experienced the choice between family feud and national disaster. He was confused and timid, but in the end he chose to become a true "great hero" and became a great hero for a generation.
It was late at night when the story was finished.
The girl was immersed in the ill-fated love story of the hero and heroine, and her heart was full of sadness. She only loved He Shutong for the officials and disciples, and she was unpretentious to the confidante who fell in love with him. Behavior is greatly appreciated.
“What do you think of this story, junior sister?”
You Su was full of confidence. Ji Lingruo said angrily:
“These stories you tell, why is the love between the male protagonist and the female protagonist always so twists and turns, can’t it be smooth sailing?”
"Without twists and turns, how can a story be deeply rooted in people's hearts?"
Ji Lingruo nodded slightly and did not refute. It is indeed because of the twists and turns of suffering that she has not yet been together. It’s not easy and it’s heart-wrenching.
But if she really wanted to feel the same way, she didn't even dare to step into He Shutong's role. I just hope that my love will be smoother and smoother.
"It will indeed be a good story..."
The only problem may be that I don't know where to put those carefully prepared descriptions of my boudoir.
Perhaps the best way is to change the 'Jade Girl's Heart Sutra' that the master and apprentice have practiced together since childhood into a complete dual cultivation method.
The more Ji Lingruo thinks about it, the more she feels that the Jade Girl's Heart Sutra and the Mandarin Duck Sword Sutra are really similar, and only when both parties are in harmony can they understand each other.
Ji Lingruo already had an idea in her mind, and she seemed to have seen that a book was about to be published.
While her heart was burning, she also thought of the reward promised to You Su tonight...
The girl lowered her eyes, looked at You Su's tightly clamped legs, and sneered:
"Have you had a buildup of Yang Qi lately?"
"Junior sister is aware of everything."
You Su didn't hide it, it wasn't the first time, so why bother to be coy again.
"Why don't you tell me if you feel uncomfortable? You hold it in too much...what if your body breaks down? And it's not like there's no one to help you..."
Ji Lingruo hesitated.
The light was warm and yellow, and the cloying fragrance still lingered on the tip of You Su's nose.
With the sweet talk between boys and girls, unknowingly, the occasion for storytelling has changed to the bed.
You Su gently took off the girl's nightgown. She wore a hollow sheet-shaped bellyband on her upper body. The inverted jade bowl under the thin fabric was bulging, as if she was holding two plump little cantaloupes.
You Su suddenly felt a strange frost-like touch coming from his little feet. He was curious, what kind of novel fabric was this?
He slowly stretched out his hand, his breathing suddenly quickened.
These are... stockings?
“Do you like this gift...?”
The girl was lying flat on the bed, with a pretty face.
You Su didn't answer. With the sound of tearing cloth, the young man couldn't wait to tear open the reward package.
......
Staying up all night, if it weren't for his worries about his senior sister, You Su might have wished to stay on that soft bed for the rest of his life.
After a few days of revision, Ji Lingruo also finished transcribing the new book, and it was time to publish it.
You Su was walking on the street of Henggao City. On the left was his junior sister Ji Lingruo, and on his right was his senior sister Fairy Wangshu.
This was the first time for him to take two women on a trip together. He was a little nervous, but more expectant.
Henggao City, as the first city in Zhongyuan Continent, truly deserves its reputation.
As the ancient poem said: "A bustling place with bustling traffic, a ten-mile long street that never sleeps."
There are many shops on both sides of the street, with high-hanging signboards and red lanterns swaying gently in the breeze. The hawking sounds come and go, like notes in a piece of music, forming a bustling symphony. The bustling crowd is full of energy and vitality.
Although You Su is blind, he can clearly perceive the surrounding environment through his spiritual consciousness. A dazzling array of products, fragrant food, and all kinds of pedestrians interweave into a bustling scene.
All kinds of aromas hit your face, making people intoxicated. The vendors on the street corners shouted: "The flowers are as beautiful as spring, and the fragrance is so fragrant that it intoxicates passers-by!"
"Brother, this stall is very interesting!"
Ji Lingruo pulled You along excitedly. Su's sleeve pointed to a candy seller's stall.
The candy figures on the stall are exquisite and colorful, as if they embody the colors of the four seasons. Ji Lingruo's eyes shone with excitement, as if she had discovered some treasure.
“Eat less, and you won’t be afraid of getting cavities.”
You Su said interestingly, but he still bought a few candy figures for her. Seeing her so happy, You Su felt warm in his heart.
“This is not for myself, but for you and my senior sister.” Ji Lingruo pouted, took the candy man and handed it to Fairy Wangshu.
Fairy Wangshu smiled slightly, took the candy man, and carefully put it away. She stood quietly next to You Su, her eyes under the mask watching them tenderly. You Su felt her gaze and his heart moved slightly.
The three of them talked and laughed all the way, attracting the attention of many people. Yousu's handsome face and the beauty of the two women made them the focus of the street. Passers-by looked sideways, whispered, and guessed the identities of these three people.
You Su and Wang Shu stayed in front of the book shop, while Ji Lingruo mysteriously found the shop owner with the newly compiled "The Legend of the Condor Heroes".
This bookstore is called "Tianxin Bookstore" and is the most prestigious bookstore in Henggao City. There is a lot of traffic in front of the door.
There is even a special area for selling "The Legend of White Snake".
“You are the legendary ‘junior sister who is the best in the world’?!”
The wrinkles on the shop owner’s face were full of smiles, and his excitement was palpable.
"Hee hee, it's not me, it's my senior brother. Boss, please take a look, can this book be published under the name of Qianshusi?"
Of course the owner of the largest bookstore in Henggao City is also the owner. A monk, he has specially practiced reading, and he can read ten lines at a glance.
The girl does not need to give any proof at all. The ups and downs of the story in the book combined with the vivid and fragrant descriptions are enough to prove the gold content of the book in the girl's hands.
The book written by this author is so popular that there are many imitators, but it is completely incapable of writing a book that appeals to both refined and popular tastes, and it can be easily seen through.
“Of course! I didn’t expect that I, Tianxin Bookstore, would be so honored! Once this book is published, it will surely become popular throughout the five continents!”
The shop owner is also a scholar, so he naturally saw the excellence of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes".
Hearing the shop owner's praise, Ji Lingruo looked proud and honored.
"We will divide the money we earn 30-70. If it is acceptable, let's draw up a contract now."
Ji Lingruo originally planned to scare the shopkeeper with the lion's mouth wide open, so that he could maneuver later. . Unexpectedly, the shop owner agreed immediately and looked like he had made a lot of money.
After the two established a long-term cooperative relationship, the shop owner not only waived Ji Lingruo's printing costs, but even gave the girl a large remuneration in return.
Ji Lingruo walked out with a bulging money bag with a proud look on her face, and decided to take her senior sister and senior brother to spend a lot of money.
You Su smiled and said, "Junior sister, let's go shopping with you. I'll buy something."
The mysterious look made Ji Lingruo unavoidably suspicious.
"Why do you have to buy it alone? Why, there is still a little lover in Henggao City?"
You Su pretended to be mysterious and said, "Can it still be a surprise if I buy it in front of you? ?”
With that said, You Su waved and left, leaving Ji Lingruo with an expectant look on her face and took her senior sister to go shopping happily.
Of course You Su's trip was not to prepare surprises for the senior sisters, but to investigate whether the junior wife was really related to the He family in Henggao City. In this way, we can implement the plan of reconciling the mistress with her family.
