As Calm As an Old Dog

Under the moonlight, Jiang Lin climbed into the window, and looked at the sleeping girl still lying on her side on the bed. Before returning to the inn, Jiang Lin changed back into an identical female outfit as the previous one had been covered by Xiao Xueli's blood, and he couldn't wear it anymore.

After one last touch-up of makeup on his face, Jiang Lin lay back down on the bed.

The moon shifted quietly, and just when Jiang Lin was really exhausted and fell asleep peacefully, the long eyelashes of the girl beside Jiang Lin moved slightly, and a pair of eyes like onyx slowly opened.

Getting up, Lin Qingwan shrugged, and sniffed Jiang Lin's hair, and then Jiang Lin's neck.

It smelled like other women! And the clothes looked new!

The girl frowned angrily, and bit down directly on Jiang Lin's ear.

"Sh*t!" the sleeping Jiang Lin shouted out in pain, but he immediately reacted to cover his mouth.

Out of the corner of his eyes, he looked at his senior sister, who was sleeping on his shoulder. He didn't know what kind of dream his senior sister had, but she had bitten his ear just now.

It wasn't that hard, but it tickled, and was quite uncomfortable.

"Senior Sister… Senior Sister…" Jiang Lin gently called out, but there was no response. He gently pushed his senior sister's head, but the senior sister had an arm locked around Jiang Lin's neck.

In the end, Jiang Lin gave up.

In the latter half of the night, Jiang Lin woke up a total of four or five times—not only his ears but also his neck, shoulders, and face had been nibbled by his senior sister. Jiang Lin wanted to get out of bed, but was locked in place by his senior sister. It wasn't until two in the morning that Jiang Lin was able to fall asleep peacefully.

"Senior Sister Lin, Junior Sister Jiang, it's time for us to go to the test. Senior Sister…"

Early in the morning, outside the door came the shouts of the female disciples of the Dragon Gate Sect. Jiang Lin opened his eyes in a daze, and realized that Lin Qingwan was lying on his chest all this time like a kitten, looking at him.

The girl had a light smile on her face, her fine black hair scattered yet neatly draped over her slender back, her eyes blinking time and time again, and just kept looking at Jiang Lin as if she couldn't get tired of looking at him.

"It's time to get up… Senior Sister… Junior Sister Jiang…"

The female disciples of the Dragon Gate Sect outside the door were still shouting, and inside the room, Jiang Lin and the girl stared at each other. For some reason, Jiang Lin felt a little panicked.

"Senior Sister Lin… I… I'll go open the door…" Jiang Lin said in a fake female voice, getting up to open the door.

"Oh? Is Junior Sister going to open the door just like that?"

Lin Qingwan was still lying on Jiang Lin's body, looking at him. Her soft words were like an imp's whisper.

"What does Senior Sister Lin mean? Jiang Xin doesn't seem to quite understand."

Jiang Lin was as calm as an old dog on the surface, but in fact, he was panicking on the inside.

"You don't know?"

Lin Qingwan smiled lightly as her eyes shifted down and looked below Jiang Lin's neck.

Jiang Lin followed the girl's line of sight. 'Crap! I…'

'Oh no… I ate my own buns last night! I forgot to find something to replace them!'

"Senior Sister Lin… I…"

"Senior Sister… Senior Sister… are you there? Senior Sister…"

Jiang Lin already had a cold sweat on his head, and when Jiang Lin was thinking of explaining this, the female disciple outside the door was still shouting.

"Yes, Junior Sister Jiang and I are up and getting dressed. We'll be down soon."

"Well… Senior Sister, if you're up, just say so. Then I'll go down to wait for Senior Sister and Junior Sister Jiang."

"Okay."

As the light and cheerful footsteps disappeared, looking at the girl who still had a smile on her face, Jiang Lin panicked even more.

"What does Junior Sister Jiang want to explain to me?"

"Senior sister…" Jiang Lin silently squeezed out two streaks of tears. "If I say that I have been laughed at for being flat, especially by my brother, so I have low self-esteem and used steamed buns to cover up my shortcomings, will you believe me? Last night I accidentally ate those two steamed buns when I was hungry."

"Yes, of course, I believe you." Lin Qingwan used telekinesis to move a bronze mirror from the dresser, and landed it on her tiny palm.

She raised the bronze mirror to Jiang Lin's face, and the cold sweat on Jiang Lin's back had instantly already wet his clothes.

In the mirror, all of the makeup that Jang Lin had struggled to put on last night had been washed off. Jiang Lin then lifted the quilt and looked at his clothes, only to realize that he only had a pair of pants left… and his eight-pack abs—but trained to the extreme had become one—was exposed…

Touching his throat, he realized that the black ribbon collar used to disguise his Adam's apple was also gone.

"Hey… Junior Brother Jiang." Lin Qingwan pushed Jiang Lin down on the pillow. "Are you a human or a ghost?"

"Senior Sister, I think I can still explain."

Lin Qingwan rolled up her sleeve and gently wiped the cold sweat from Jiang Lin's head. "Well, you can explain, but after your stealing Dragon Veins and lying to fellow disciples, Senior Sister has prepared something for you according to the sect's rules."

The girl's eyes gestured lightly to the ground.

In front of the bed, there was a washboard that appeared out of nowhere.

"Beast! Brute! Hentai!"

Inside an inn room, a girl, after handling her injuries and exhaling a deep breath, clutched a pillow in her arms, and raised her small fist to smash it over and over.

"Okay, okay, it was just getting kissed, isn't it? It's only a matter of time before a girl gets a kiss."

Inside the girl, an older female voice reached the girl's consciousness.

"What do you mean 'it's only', Senior Sword Spirit, that was Xueli's first… first… Aiya! I'm so mad! What about the Sun Moon Sect only attacking the mind and not killing people? What did he mean that there was a difference between the demon sects… He was just craving my body! He's a lowly scum!"

Xiao Xueli became angrier as she thought about it, and continued to hug her pillow and vent.

"All right, all right. Since he insulted you last night, then we have to turn this insult into motivation! He's also a sword cultivator, so ask him to battle and chop off his head then!"

"Ah… Senior… killing him would be overkill, wouldn't it? And you also promised him one favor… he did after all… save… save me…"

"Hehehe… It looks like our little girl has the stirrings of love."

"Senior!!!"

"All right, all right. That guy needs to be taught a lesson for sure. If you don't run into him, then forget it. Just beat him up if you do."

"Yes!" The girl clenched her little fists. "I'll make sure to beat him up well!"

"Hey, actually, Xueli, that guy is quite nice. Although we do have to take revenge, we can't abandon some other things. Xueli, you really don't…"

"No, Senior. I am grateful to him for putting his life on the line to save me, but I also hate his rudeness towards me, and right now, revenge for the sect is my only desire, while trying to cultivate is all I have; I have no more heart for these childish feelings."

"Well, good, as expected of my disciple. This grand tournament, that mystic realm, and when you find my true body, that will be the beginning of our true revenge."

"Yes, Senior!"
