CH 49

Upon discovering the gray object, Luo Wusheng instinctively used his spiritual power to capture it.

Could it be a clue?

As he took a closer look, he was taken aback.

Oh god, how could there be such an ugly rat!

Even an ordinary gray mouse was already not pleasant to the eye, but this rat was even worse than any rat he has ever seen before.

At the moment he saw it, Luo Wusheng felt a trace of disgust deep in his heart, even a bit nauseous.

This thing before him must be a blemish in that the Creator God has created by accident and had decided to toss away in disgust, there is no other explanation.

“Heh, are you offended that I called you ugly?” Luo Wusheng chuckled as he watched the gray-haired mouse waving its paws and baring its teeth at him.

Then he frowned.

This doesn’t make sense. When he bought this courtyard, he and his junior sister  had already thoroughly cleaned it. How did rats appear so quickly?

And the rat turned out to be so ugly.

With these thoughts in mind, he scanned the ugly little mouse with his spiritual awareness.

But there was nothing unusual.

(Is it really just an ordinary mouse? Am I overthinking it?)

Honestly, the more he looked at this gray-haired mouse, the more he felt repulsed with it, to the point where he even considered killing it outright.

(That’s not right, judging a mouse by its appearance is not acceptable. Even though it’s one of the reasons behind Black Death, maybe it could be useful…)

(Come to think of it, in my previous life, they often used white mice for experiments. Although it’s an ugly gray mouse, maybe it could be used for testing the effects of new bullets on Song Zhong and the other Artifact Refiners?)

Luo Wusheng had always been worried that those Artifact Refiners would get out of control. If they could redirect their experiments to other things…

With this in mind, he brightened up and thought that it would be the best fate for this gray-haired mouse.

Wonderful, it’s fate that brought us together. Let it also contribute to science!

The gray-haired mouse, caught by spiritual power, had no idea of the fate that Luo Wusheng had decided for it. However, a sense of inexplicable crisis made the sparse fur on its body stand on end.

You see, it hadn’t finished preparing itself, and the body it was currently using was a completely mundane incarnation with no spiritual power, chosen to avoid detection.

In this situation, it had no resistance if this Demon Sect Holy Saint wanted to do something to it.

Then it saw the Demon Sect Holy Saint casually take out a piece of refining material from his storage bag.

With a light touch of the boy’s finger, the refining material gradually transformed into the shape of a cage.

After a futile struggle, the rat was thrown into the cage.

The sudden turn of events widened the narrow, elongated eyes of the gray-haired mouse.

What’s going on? Does this Demon Sect Holy Saint want to keep him as a pet?

This is not good news. According to his original plan, he should have stayed in the shadows and waited for the perfect moment to execute tonight’s arrangement.

If he were exposed, his actions would be restricted.

Who would have thought that his stunning appearance among the rat clan would become an obstacle to completing his plan?

The gray-haired mouse hated this.

(Well, when the Demon Sect Holy Saint isn’t paying attention, I’ll directly transform this incarnation into my true form and then use my innate talents to escape.)

The rat made his plan in his mind.

After completing all of this, Luo Wusheng tossed the cage containing the ugly gray mouse into his storage bag.

Out of sight, out of mind. After the mouse that constantly increased his negative emotions disappeared, he even felt the air was a bit fresher.

But in the future, he would have to inconvenience his Artifact Refiners.

“It seems that there are indeed no other clues here, and there’s no abnormality within my spiritual awareness… Perhaps the culprit behind this has already left.”

“But still, for them to try to use Bai Xiaoyao in their plan, it’s really hard for me to say whether they are stupid or wicked…”

If he really couldn’t resist and had a romantic encounter with his Junior Sister, then the person behind the scenes wouldn’t be able to escape the pursuit of the protagonist’s group in the future.

Shaking his head, Luo Wusheng’s figure flickered, and in an instant, he returned to his own room.

Bai Xiaoyao was still sleeping lightly on his bed, displaying an adorable sleeping face.

Looking at this exquisite demonnes, a soft smile appeared on Luo Wusheng’s face.

His junior sister was actually quite good to him. She traveled all the way from the demonic realm to help him, and these past few days, she had been following him around, keeping him company and alleviating his boredom.

Although initially, he was only close to her because she was a potential love interest for the true protagonist, gradually he began to see her as one of the people he could trust and be close to in this world.

Suddenly, Luo Wusheng’s gaze focused.

A faint pink smoke drifted up from Bai Xiaoyao’s brow.

Before he could react, the smoke had already dissipated without a trace.

(It seems that’s the source of the anomaly with Bai Xiaoyao… I just don’t know what it is. Even when I used my spiritual awareness to investigate, I couldn’t sense its presence…)

Even after going through all the original plotlines that Luo Wusheng knew, he couldn’t find anything similar.

But fortunately, this meant that Bai Xiaoyao would return to normal once she woke up.

After he let out a sigh of relief, Luo Wusheng’s thoughts became active.

He had a slightly bold idea.

……………

Bai Xiaoyao felt like she had a dream.

In the dream, she entered her senior brother’s room in the middle of the night.

In the conversation with her senior brother, they grew closer and closer.

And it was her who took the initiative!

It was as if something on her senior brother’s body was attracting her.

She watched helplessly as her heartbeat accelerated in the dream, her face blushing as she pulled her senior brother onto the bed, clumsily prostrating herself on his sturdy chest.

After that…

The memories became blurry.

She seemed to have lost consciousness but had vague and strange images flashing through her mind.

Images like her senior brother gently placing her on the bed.

Images like her senior brother lightly tucking her in with the blanket.

Images like her senior brother gazing at her for a moment, lifting a corner of the blanket, and removing her shoes and socks.

Images like her senior brother staring blankly at her exposed toes in the air, then seemingly measuring something with his palm.

Hmm?

Something seemed off.

Bai Xiaoyao woke up in an instant.

The scenery before her was both unfamiliar and familiar.

(It really is senior brother’s room…)

The Demon Sect Holy Maiden was a bit stunned at the moment, seemingly unable to sort out her current situation.

She subconsciously looked around, then let out a sigh of relief.

(Senior brother isn’t nearby…)

After confirming this, Bai Xiaoyao gently pressed her temple, starting to sort out her jumbled memories.

The blurry images gradually became clear in her mind.

“Indeed, those weren’t just dreams.”

Bai Xiaoyao’s expression began to change, at times cloudy and at times sunny, and then she blushed slightly, feeling a hint of embarrassment.

When she saw the memory of her senior brother embracing her in his arms, and then losing consciousness, the demoness shook her head lightly.

It seems that her senior brother had also realized that something was wrong with her condition at that time.

Truly worthy of her dense senior brother, even under her temptation, he could remain so clear-headed.

Bai Xiaoyao’s heart was somewhat complicated.

She lifted the blanket covering her and sat up on the bed, preparing to put on her shoes and socks.

Wait a minute?

As she looked at her delicate feet exposed to the air at the moment, Bai Xiaoyao felt her face inexplicably heat up.

(Those last few images that i see just now… were they real?)
