The two beauties continued their argument.
Xiu Meixiang crossed her arms and frowned, glaring angrily at Yu Lan. But her attempt to look intimidating just made her look too cute to be threatening.
"You say Lord Liu is resting peacefully, but what if that's only because he's unconscious? Let me show you I can take care of him just as well!"
Xiu Meixiang grabbed Liu Ming's wrist and tried to pull him away.
Not willing to yield, Yu Lan firmly held Liu Ming's head, keeping it firmly squished between her supple thighs and against her nourished bosoms. She retorted, "Oh no you don't! Lord Liu's well-being is the priority here. And his head fits perfectly here. It's like they were made for each other."
Xiu Meixiang stopped pulling and folded her arms, as if she had accepted defeat. Her lips formed into a perfect little pout, causing her rosy cheeks to stand out even more. "Humph! You always do this, Elder Sister Lan. It's not a competition, you know. Elder Sister Yan said we should both care for him."
It was true; Su Yan had entrusted both of them with caring for Liu Ming while he was unconscious. But Yu Lan wouldn't let Liu Ming go because she believed, as a generously endowed woman, she was the only one capable of looking after him properly.
The woman in question smiled gently but with a hint of pride, calmly looking at Xiu Meixiang, who was clearly upset. "Look, I know you want to help, Junior Sister." She gently caressed Liu Ming's chest. "But sometimes, the best care is to provide the utmost comfort. And let's be honest, my breasts make perfect pillows." Yu Lan chuckled, boasting confidently.
Xiu Meixiang's fury intensified, her eyes practically bulging as she glared at Yu Lan's ample cleavage. "Grrr, if it weren't for that overgrown chest of yours!"
"Oho-ho!" Yu Lan laughed poshly. "They're definitely large, but they're not overgrown; they fit perfectly with my sexy, curvy body. But I suppose someone as young as you wouldn't get that."
To Yu Lan, the notion that women should feel insecure about having breasts as large as hers seemed utterly ridiculous. She liked showing off her body to express confidence in her own appearance. With Liu Ming now in their company, she felt it was the perfect opportunity to fully embrace her femininity.
'When will she stop…?' Liu Ming asked himself.
Yu Lan had been massaging his chest for as long as he could recall. He felt a bit uneasy──not because he didn't like it, but because it was his first time being touched so intimately by a woman while another woman competed to care for him too.
'Hrmm, there's no better time than now.'
With a groan to make it seem like he was just waking up, Liu Ming opened his eyes.
Xiu Meixiang and Yu Lan immediately turned their attention to him, smiling brightly.
"Lord Liu, you're finally awake!" they said together.
Their voices were filled with genuine care.
They were eager to see what their new patriarch was like. If he was the grandson of Liu Changsheng, then he had to be good, right? Still, they wanted to be sure he was truly a good person.
Yu Lan helped him sit up properly on the bed so they could both get a better look at him.
"Are you doing well, Lord Liu?" Yu Lan asked softly, looking at him with bedroom eyes.
Not wanting to seem less affectionate, Xiu Meixiang placed a gentle hand on Liu Ming's chest and leaned in close. "Master, would you like some tea?" she asked softly, not caring that they were so close their noses were almost touching.
Liu Ming pulled his head back a bit to get a better look at them. He had a lot of questions, like where were Su Yan and Maomao, how long he had been unconscious, and if anything big had happened while he was out.
But the main question that kept coming to mind was: who were these beautiful women smiling at him and sitting so close? He was eager to know.
On the right was Xiu Meixiang.
She had long, wavy pink hair tied into cute pigtails. There was something special about the pinkness of her hair; it looked either very dark or very light depending on the lighting. Her green eyes gave her a bright and cheerful expression that matched her lovely personality.
She wore white robes with a stylish mix of pink and gold. Her slender and petite build fit the archetype of a cute and bubbly young lady.
'She looks really cute. Her hair is perfectly styled, and her smile is so genuine. I just feel this urge to protect her for some reason. You know, my grandfather never really taught me much about women.'
Liu Ming managed to tear his gaze away from Xiu Meixiang.
On his left, Yu Lan, the other female disciple.
She was a stunningly beautiful woman with a full figure and captivating presence. Tall and curvy, she had large breasts and a slim waist.
Her long, wavy, butter-blonde hair flowed down her back, loosely tied, framing her face perfectly and adding to her charm. Her skin was fair and flawless, glowing with an inner radiance that highlighted her delicate features.
She had mesmerizing blue eyes and full lips curved into a knowing, sultry smile that hinted at her confident and flirtatious nature.
She wore light blue and yellow robes, casually loose and open, showing off a generous amount of her cleavage, which emphasized her sensuality. She carried herself with a relaxed yet graceful poise.
'If the pink-haired lady looks cute, then I'd call this woman gorgeous. She probably is older than me; at least, she looks it. Her body is so beautiful that she could be one of those models you see in big cities.'
Getting closer to Liu Ming, Xiu Meixiang placed a gentle hand on his cheek and smiled warmly at him. Her beautiful green eyes seemed to light up like a rising sun, making Liu Ming appreciate her beauty.
This was far better than waking up in a room full of big, brawny men who might have taken an interest in a handsome young man like him.
Xiu Meixiang's cherry lips parted as she giggled, "My name is Xiu Meixiang. I'm so glad you're finally awake, my lord."
Yu Lan, not wanting to be outdone by her subordinate, cleared her throat loudly and stepped in front of Xiu Meixiang. "And I'm Yu Lan, her senior sister," she said, her eyes looking relaxed and seductive. "Sect Father never mentioned you were so exceptionally handsome, Lord Liu."
"Eee, sure…" Liu Ming replied.
Xiu Meixiang started to frown at Yu Lan; this wasn't the first, second, or even third time her senior sister had done something like this, and it made her angry. Her fair-skinned face turned red like a hot chili pepper. "You seem to be having a lot of fun with Lord Liu, Elder Sister Lan," Xiu Meixiang said through gritted teeth.
"Hm?" Yu Lan replied, gently placing her index finger on her cherry-colored bottom lip. "Oh~ well, I suppose I am."
It seemed like a full-blown argument was about to start.
Liu Ming, sitting calmly between them with a forced smile, could already feel the tension.
Just then, the door of the sizable room creaked open, and Su Yan walked in.
Liu Ming's face immediately lit up when he saw her—she was a familiar face, so at least he could get a better idea of what was going on from her.
Su Yan gracefully knelt before Liu Ming, bowing her head.
"It's good to have you back among us, Lord Liu," she said with respect.
She wanted to maintain a professional relationship with the new patriarch, especially since she noticed how close her junior sisters were with Liu Ming, even sitting on the bed with him.
Liu Ming smiled warmly. "Good to see you again, Su Yan."
"It seems…" Su Yan paused and looked around with a blank face. "…you're having fun, Patriarch."
"Hm?" Liu Ming responded. "What do you mean…?"
He then noticed that both Yu Lan and Xiu Meixiang were hugging his arms.
Xiu Meixiang was gently purring while cuddling his left arm, rubbing her face against it like it was a cozy blanket.
"Lord Liu almost acts like we're not here, tee-hee!"
On his right, Yu Lan was also hugging him. She was slightly taller than him, so his arm rested gently in the cleavage of her soft breasts.
"Mmm~ I don't see the point in doing this, but it's interesting nonetheless. Consider this your disciple's way of testing how you'll handle temptations in the future."
She chuckled mischievously.
Liu Ming just stared forward with half-open eyes.
He was clearly tired.
Sigh~
"I really need to understand what's happening."
