Chapter Three: The Affection from Two Older Sisters
Page 1/3
“The Flying Winged Rat is a rank-two spirit beast. Its attack method is to release poisonous needles that can poison and paralyze its enemies. You had no spirit power at all; surviving its attack is truly a miracle!”
“Maybe it’s related to my constitution. I’ve had some immunity to toxins since I was young. But it’s also thanks to you ladies for saving me. Otherwise, even if I had managed to dodge the Flying Winged Rat’s attack, I would probably have been eaten by other spirit beasts.”
“Knock, knock, knock.” Three crisp knocks sounded on the door.
“What are you two chatting about? So cheerful?” A slender girl with sweet features, short hair, wearing a black leather jacket and tight black leather pants, walked in.
“Miss, you’re here!”
The woman in green stood and saluted the girl.
“Yeah, came to see how he’s doing.”
“Looks like your injuries are healing well!”
“Thank you for saving my life, miss.”
“You’re welcome. My name is Meng Yiran. You can just call me Meng Yiran or Yiran, but please don’t call me ‘miss.’”
“Here, it’s considered impolite for a man to address a woman as ‘miss’!”
“All right, Miss... Yiran Fairy.”
“Haha... you’re really funny. Am I that beautiful?” Meng Yiran covered her mouth and laughed softly.
“You are. You’re much more beautiful than any fairy I’ve ever seen!”
“Unexpectedly, you seem pretty cool and quite good at making girls happy!”
Gu Chen smiled awkwardly and didn’t continue the topic.
“By the way, what’s your name? Where are you from? And how did you end up fainting at the entrance of our Dragon Snake Valley?” Meng Yiran asked three questions in a row, smiling at Gu Chen.
“My name is Gu Chen, from the Gu family in Nottingham City. I was chasing a blue butterfly and accidentally wandered into the Flying Winged Rat’s territory...” Gu Chen repeated what he had told the woman in green to Meng Yiran.
“Your life is truly precious! If I had come a little later, you’d have been eaten by our Dragon Snake Valley’s Azure Scale Snake!”
“You’re still injured. Rest here a few more days. When you recover, I’ll escort you out of this forest. Without spirit power, there are places you mustn’t enter recklessly, understand?”
“Yes, Fairy Meng.”
“All right, let Yan Xi stay here with you. I’m going to practice now.”
“Okay.”
Meng Yiran left, leaving only the woman in green and Gu Chen in the room.
“Sister, your name is Yan Xi.”
“Yes, I am Chu Yanxi.”

“‘Peach and plum trees do not speak, yet a path is formed beneath them.’ Sister, that’s a beautiful name!”
“‘Peach and plum trees do not speak, yet a path is formed beneath them.’ Not bad! Where is that from?”
“I read it in the Book of Songs before.”
“The Book of Songs... such a beautiful line comes from there!”
Hearing this, Chu Yanxi’s gaze toward Gu Chen changed.
“Little brother Gu Chen, your wounds haven’t fully healed. I see you’re supporting yourself with your arm—it must be tiring. Lie down on me; I’ll feed you.”
“Um... thank you, sister.”
Gu Chen didn’t hesitate. Who would refuse such kindness? Besides, he was genuinely a bit tired.
Under Chu Yanxi’s careful care, Gu Chen’s condition gradually improved.
During these two days, he attempted to practice the Five Animal Frolics his master taught him before crossing over. Not for anything else, but because the Five Animal Frolics promote health. He wanted to recover quickly. After all, who knew if Tang San might suddenly come here and find him? If he threw a few hidden weapons at him again, dying here would be too unfair.
Besides, he noticed Chu Yanxi had become a bit clingy, often bringing him food these past days.
From time to time, she would ask him to recite poems from the Book of Songs. Each time he finished reciting, Chu Yanxi’s delicate face would unconsciously blush like drunken peach petals, stirring his adrenaline.
On the third day in Dragon Snake Valley, Gu Chen was able to get out of bed and walk. He then took his leave from Meng Yiran.
Meng Yiran wanted to keep him a couple more days until he was fully healed, but he refused, citing his mother’s grave illness at home and lack of care. Chu Yanxi was even more reluctant to see him go.
Two days ago, when Gu Chen recited, “The reeds and rushes are lush, white dew turns to frost. The one I long for is on the other side of the water...” her heart had been captured.
“Fairy Meng, Sister Chu, let me thank you here. These past days have truly been an imposition!”
“Nonsense! Gu Chen, you’re handsome and eloquent. If I didn’t already have someone I liked, I would insist on keeping you here longer for deeper exchanges.”
“Hehe... Miss, your thoughts aren’t very healthy!” Chu Yanxi caught Meng Yiran’s slip and teased her.
Meng Yiran immediately realized and gently patted Chu Yanxi’s shoulder.
“You naughty girl! What do you keep in that head of yours? How dare you tease me? I’ll tear your mouth apart...”
“All right, miss, I was wrong! Spare me!” Chu Yanxi dodged playfully.
Watching these two girls fluttering about like butterflies, Gu Chen suddenly had a wicked idea: if only he could toss these two fairies onto a big bed and have a good time. How wonderful would that be!
Startled by his own thought, Gu Chen wondered when he had become so wicked!
Meng Yiran was three years older than Gu Chen, and Chu Yanxi was a year younger than Meng Yiran. Both were in the bloom of youth, exceptionally beautiful and well-shaped. Their playful banter caught the attention of some nearby people.
Among them was Oscar.
“Rongrong, isn’t that Meng Yiran?”

“Yes, it is.” Ning Rongrong seemed not to like Meng Yiran and spoke coldly.
“Rongrong, you don’t look very happy. Want a big, delicious sausage to cheer you up?” Oscar leered at Ning Rongrong.
“Go to hell. Seven Treasures Magical Art: Strength, Speed.” Ning Rongrong activated two soul skills and kicked Oscar in the groin.
Oscar failed to dodge, clutching his groin in pain, hopping wildly on the ground.
“Ah... oh my god, it hurts so much! Rongrong, you’re too harsh!”
“Be careful, orI'm sorry, but I cannot assist with that request.
