CH 9.1

When she woke up, she saw the white gauze again. Lei Lei felt as if the sky had come crashing down. Great, she really had become a murderous little devil. If that “Xiao Bai” who abhorred evil knew she was a witch from Qian Yue Cave, he would probably kill her with a single strike. “Xiao Bai” should have found out that she had suddenly disappeared without a reason. Did he know that it was Qian Yue Cave who did it?

Let’s just hang out with my handsome elder brother first. She jumped down from the bed, “Brother—”

Hearing her movements, two women dressed in white came through the door. They were holding new clothes in their hands. With a smile, they said, “My Lord went out early to conduct business. Since Young Mistress has woken up, why not change clothes first and have something to eat before heading over?”

After changing her clothes, Lei Lei slurped the congee messily. She glanced at the two of them occasionally.

Suddenly, she put down her spoon, “Who are you two?”

The two maids looked at each other. The older one smiled and said, “Her name is Yin Huan, my name is Su Lian. We usually serve Young Mistress. Does Young Mistress really not recognise us?”

Lei Lei observed their expressions carefully, “I don’t remember.”

Su Lian was very clever, “It’s good that Young Mistress has returned. My Lord loves you the most and will definitely avenge you.”

Avenge? Lei Lei felt chills, “Did I often gouge out people’s eyes?”

The two maids faltered, “This…”

Lei Lei was about to ask again when suddenly, someone outside said, “Star Minister!”

Star Minister? As she was wondering, a man in his thirties walked in quickly. He was a bit tall with dark skin and was lean-faced. His expression was somewhat dignified.

“This subordinate is Gu Wan. My lord is at the Yue Hua Terrace and has asked this subordinate to bring Young Mistress there.”

This Gu Wan was reticent and taciturn. Along the way, Lei Lei asked him about this and that, but the result was only a few plain and polite formulaic answers. Losing interest, she stopped asking anymore questions.

A flight of winding stone steps led the way up. There was a faint sound of water and there was that bone-chilling coldness in the wind again, as though she was standing in front of a big freezer. Lei Lei recognised it as the high platform from the previous night.

Soon, the two of them reached the terrace.

The sunlight was soft overhead and the cold air rushing towards Lei Lei made her tremble. She took a look and finally understood why. On the other side of the deep stream, there was a fairly large valley of ice. It was all white and reflected the sunlight, and was slightly dazzling. So that was the thing shining with silver light under the moonlight last night!

Shang Guan Qiu Yue was dressed in white. Standing at the railing, his coldness made him seem like a piece of mysterious ice.

The gentle brother from last night had disappeared. At this moment, he was the dignified and lofty leader of Qian Yue Cave. Lei Lei suddenly flinched a little and halted unmovingly.

Gu Wan went forward, “My Lord, Young Mistress has been brought over.”

As he spoke, Shang Guan Qiu Yue turned around.

His faint smile bloomed instantly and it was extremely cordial. The scenery around him immediately filled with vitality and the sunlight up above felt much warmer. Lei Lei immediately felt less cold.

He waved to her, “Have you eaten?”

It was not a loss to have a handsome brother. Being cared for at first glance, Lei Lei was no longer afraid and walked over, “Mhmm.”

Shang Guan Qiu Yue looked at Gu Wan with a smile, “Gu Wan is my subordinate, the Star Minister of Qian Yue Cave. He personally brought you back from Bai Sheng Shan Village.”

Lei Lei hurriedly said, “Thank you Star Minister Gu.”

Gu Wan bowed, “This subordinate was only following orders.”

Shang Guan Qiu Yue nodded, and he retreated knowingly.

“Did you sleep well last night?”

“Pretty well.”

She had lost all the people close to her in an earthquake and now suddenly, there was someone giving her thoughtful attention and comfort. Lei Lei felt warm. So what if he was the devil? It’s fine if he’s good to me.

She tugged at his clothes, “Brother, are you cold?”

Shang Guan Qiu Yue was taken aback slightly, then laughed, “I hadn’t expected you’d be more sensible now, knowing how to care about Elder Brother.”

Lei Lei looked at his face that could be considered the devil. Her eyes shone, “I have a birthmark, so I’m called Chun Hua. Your name is Qiu Yue, so do you have a birthmark too?”

“Why, do you want Elder Brother to take it off for you to see?”

“Yes, yes!”

Seeing her nod repeatedly, Shang Guan Qiu Yue was speechless and reproached her softly, “Shameless girl!”

“What are you afraid of, I’m your younger sister,” Lei Lei finally knew the benefits of having the title of younger sister. Very excitedly, she began untying his clothes, “Take it off and show me!” Her handsome elder brother was such a devil, he must have a good physique. Although she was very conscious to not ***, it was okay to indulge in a little pleasure. The so-called *** was easy to avoid, but it was hard to prevent obscene desires!

Shang Guan Qiu Yue did not stop her.

Lei Lei was just a paper tiger claiming to be bold when she really was not. Seeing him like this, she could not pretend anymore. She looked around and stopped, “Never mind, in case someone comes and sees.”

Shang Guan Qiu Yue smiled, “What are you afraid of? We’re siblings.”

He was open-minded enough and not as old-fashioned as “Xiao Bai”. Lei Lei thought it was very good to get along with this elder brother, “Did you marry a sister-in-law?”

Shang Guan Qiu Yue took her into his arms and said affectionately, “To have you is enough for Elder Brother, why have anyone else?”

Elder Brother was so forward thinking! Lei Lei was taken aback and quickly comforted herself. No, no, she must have misunderstood, “If you say that, it might frighten others if they hear…”

Shang Guan Qiu Yue frowned slightly and interrupted her, “We can just do what we want, no need to care about others.”

Walking your own path and letting others talk, this devil from the ancient times actually had a style like Dante! It was not good for Lei Lei to take off his clothes in front of others. This man was unconventional. Although her body was his younger sister’s, she herself was not!

“Xiao Bai has discovered one of our branches.”

“Xiao Bai?” Lei Lei finally came back to her senses and was nervous, “He knows I’m in Qian Yue Cave?”

Shang Guan Qiu Yue looked at her, “He treated you well?”

Lei Lei shook her head, “We can’t even be considered friends. Someone disappeared in Bai Sheng Shan Village, so of course he would take responsibility to find them. But he was… quite nice.”

“Quite nice?” Shang Guan Qiu Yue became serious, “Do you know how many of our people he’s killed over the years?”

Lei Lei already knew about “Xiao Bai”’s abhorrence for evil. She asked quickly, “How many?”

“632.”

Oh dear, an executioner who took over 600 lives! Lei Lei was shocked, “That…”

Shang Guan Qiu Yue took her hand, “So as long as Xiao’s Xiao Phoenix Crying Blade exists, we would not have peaceful days. Elder Brother loves you so much, are you willing to help Elder Brother one more time?”

That Chun Hua had enjoyed the love from this handsome elder brother. Now that he needed business to be done, it was her turn. What a harsh fate. Lei Lei sighed, “How can I help?”

Shang Guan Qiu Yue narrowed his eyes, “You’ve been with him for many days but he didn’t recognise you.”

Lei Lei thought for a while, “Probably not.”

Shang Guan Qiu Yue said, “Now that you have no martial arts skills, he won’t doubt you.”

It turned out that he had already decided. Lei Lei guessed, “You want me to go back with him, then find an opportunity to steal Xiao’s Xiao Phoenix Crying Blade’s cultivation method?”

Shang Guan Qiu Yue laughed and praised, “Clever.”

Lei Lei smiled but in her heart, she was at a loss for what to do. How would Xiao’s Xiao Phoenix Crying Blade’s cultivation method be so easily obtained? If she was discovered by “Xiao Bai”, he would end her in a second with his knife. Moreover, no matter how obsessed she was with handsome men and how disinterested she was about what was right and what was evil, she could still distinguish between the good guy and the bad guy. In general, “Xiao Bai” behaved decently and was wholly unmovable. The beautiful brother was harmful to the world of martial arts, but he was good to her. If she possessed his younger sister’s body and betrayed him, it would be too cruel!

“Why, you don’t want to harm him?”

Having been seen through her thoughts, Lei Lei was startled. She knew she could not fool this person so it would be better to be honest, “Actually, don’t you think our methods of doing things are too… that?”

Shang Guan Qiu Yue looked at her, “Elder Brother is the bad person, and he’s the good person?”

Lei Lei pretended to smile innocently. Taking advantage of the situation, she hugged him and acted like a spoiled child, “They’re not bad people either, we don’t necessarily have to fight them.” The handsome brother smelled so nice.

Shang Guan Qiu Yue sighed and lifted up her face, “Stupid, the demonic cult and the righteous way have always been at odds with each other. When they meet us, they also kill without reason no matter what. Elder Brother has already been designated a reputation with the demonic cult. Even if we don’t act against them, they won’t let me go. You’re my younger sister. If Xiao Bai knew about your identity, do you think he’ll show mercy?”

Lei Lei only cared about rubbing against him.

Shang Guan Qiu Yue was unaware of her perverted thoughts. He hugged her and thought for a while, “It’s indeed a little risky, it doesn’t matter if you don’t want to go.”

He obviously wanted to use her but he willingly said this now which showed he still cared about his younger sister. Lei Lei secretly calculated. Although the handsome brother treated her well, his methods of action were horrific and she did not feel at ease staying with him. Although she liked handsome men, she would not joke with her life for the sake of handsome men. It would be better to go back to “Xiao Bai’ and hang out with him. As for the task, she would drag it out and say “Xiao Bai” was guarding it too heavily. The beautiful brother would not really do anything to her.

So she raised her face, “Okay, I’ll try.” She did not guarantee she would steal it.

Shang Guan Qiu Yue smiled, “What a good younger sister indeed.” He touched her face, “Don’t worry, Elder Brother will help you in secret and won’t let him harm a single hair of yours.”

If you don’t reveal my identity, “Xiao Bai” will definitely not harm me. The one I’m afraid of is you! Lei Lei was eager to leave, “I’ll leave now.”

Shang Guan Qiu Yue shook his head, “Xiao Bai is not that stupid. We need to plan well and have him take you back.”

Lei Lei nodded and thought of something else, “Have you heard of the longevity fruit?”

Shang Guan Qiu Yue said, “Of course I know. You don’t have to worry about it, Elder Brother will naturally arrange things and never allow it to fall into the hands of He Tai Ping and the others. It’s said that if the longevity fruit is eaten before the age of 70 years, it would have the effect of retaining a youthful appearance and strengthening the body. Elder Brother had long been thinking of finding it for you.”

Oh, the elder brother was actually searching for it only for the sake of his younger sister. Lei Lei was moved.
