The miko sighed softly, catching my attention and I blinked my big confused eyes at her.
"As far as I can remember, since I became a shrine maiden after my mother, no one has ever accompanied me like this. I lived alone in a deserted shrine. Oh, and you were still an egg at that time."
The elder sister touched my little head with a smile.
I was so happy that I almost leaned forward. The elder sister said that, of course she was very happy about my transformation.
On second thought, something doesn't seem right.
It feels like an older sister is accompanying her daughter.
"Tell me, why are you so well-behaved? Why has my junior brother Long Aotian refused to apologize to me until now?"
Of course, I am not the only one who can accompany her. When I mentioned Long Aotian, I pouted my lips immediately.
Oh, as expected, the elder sister still hopes that the guy will surrender.
Stay calm, Li Zhi. This is something you have been mentally prepared for. Don’t be sad, and don’t cry!
It’s just that my elder sister had a lot of fun playing with me today, so the gap is a bit big.
Long Aotian, he left the city a long time ago. I saw him from afar.
My demonic power has increased a lot now. Although the distance from the back mountain to the city is not far, if I want to see someone in the city accurately, I am probably the only one who can do it.
This is the ability of clairvoyance. Although I can’t reach a thousand miles away, a hundred miles away is no problem at all.
"Gu, he left the city a long time ago, heading towards Jiangning Prefecture with a bunch of demon-slaying guards."
I didn't want to hide it from my elder sister, so even though I wasn't happy about talking about him, I still told her the truth.
Chapter 40: Bad Talk
"gone?"
The elder sister frowned slightly, seeming a little unhappy.
Yes, ever since Long Aotian shot and killed Hu Qinghuai, he has never been able to directly apologize to his elder sister about this matter.
The last time he got rid of that changeable monster, it was the only time he saw his elder sister.
Well, maybe the elder sister is a person with a strong desire for control. If she is not satisfied with what the other person does, she will educate the other person until she is satisfied?
Alas, although the elder sister is a beautiful queen, she is also a girl, and she will always keep unhappy things in her heart. Even though she knows that Long Aotian is busy with official duties, she is still unhappy.
"He does care about the Demon Slayer Guard's duties."
The elder sister seemed to be nonchalantly tapping on the coffee table with one hand, but in fact she was even more unhappy.
Yeah, I see. She must be saying that Long Aotian doesn't pay enough attention to her. That's why he would leave her alone for several days whenever something makes her angry, and then come back to coax her into good shape.
Hey, this, isn't this a good opportunity? It's a good time to sow discord between the two of them. It's the same as whispering in their ear!
I clenched my fists as if facing a powerful enemy.
Shouldn't you show your mature side at times like this?
"Wow, I guess he thinks, well, he'll be confident that big sister will forgive him when the time comes?"
I thought about it from his perspective for a moment and answered casually.
However, there seems to be nothing wrong with this answer.
It's common for men to ignore girls' feelings because they are busy with their careers.
Although I haven’t experienced it, it’s what they show on TV!
"Oh? Why do you say that?"
Yeah, that’s right, elder sister is thinking in this direction.
"The location of Long Aotian's demon-slaying guards in the county is only half an hour away from the shrine. Even if you are busy with official duties, you can definitely find time to come if you are willing."
I counted on my fingers and smiled wickedly.
"In that case, the reason why he is not anxious at all is because he is confident that he is very good at coaxing girls. Last time, didn't he give my sister a super exquisite gift?"
I have seen that jade hairpin before, and it made me so angry. Fortunately, my elder sister neither wore it nor kept it until today.
The elder sister nodded slightly, as if she agreed.
"You mean, he'll even use gifts to coax me...to apologize to me?"
The word "coax" sounded a bit irritating to Yan Luoqing, so she quickly changed her words.
Does she look like the kind of little girl who needs to be coaxed? She's not like this little fox in her family!
I thought about it carefully and nodded in agreement.
It should be like this.
I vaguely remember that a former colleague of mine, seeing that I had been single for so long, once shared with me his experience in picking up girls.
In my mind, I slowly imagined my former colleague, raising his finger and pointing at me, a confused tough guy, with his nose in a very arrogant manner.
"Xiao Li, when you're courting a woman, you need to be generous. If you give her a brand name, you need to let her see the label; if you give her an antique, you need to let her know the value of the antique; if you give her a house or a car, you need to let her see that it's her name on it...
Chasing a woman, even if a man and a woman both like each other in their hearts, men will say it out loud, but women won’t. So, in many cases, men have to take the initiative, but when you mention this to a woman, you have to be skillful in your language and be romantic...”
Obviously, I have no way of judging whether his valuable advice or personal experience is right or wrong. To me, it is all like talking to a cow and it is all useless.
You see, if I had really met that beautiful older sister at that time, I would have been so nervous that I would not have been able to utter a word, let alone think about romance, words, and such like.
What's more, I'm poor, so being generous is out of the question.
Since I don’t know, I have never thought about it before.
But now, if we apply this logic to Long Aotian, isn’t it almost the same!
Seeing his cold and pretentious look, he couldn't say a single nice word for a long time, and of course he couldn't come up with any romantic words, right?
But he is rich, so according to my logic, giving him expensive gifts would be the first choice.
"Gu, I think he will not only give gifts, but also give more expensive and exquisite gifts, which will make the witch sister like it as soon as she sees it, and she will be willing to forgive him..."
I bit my finger and accidentally said what was on my mind.
Woohoo, in this regard, I am no match for Long Aotian. I was raised by an older sister myself, so what can I give her as a gift?
"Humph."
Yan Luoqing snorted. Her little fox was sometimes quite clever and could even guess things that she hadn't even thought of.
It has been less than a year since Long Aotian returned to her hometown. Indeed, the gift given to her that day was the only thing that made her very happy. If it weren't for the subsequent murder of Hu Qinghuai, she would still keep the jade hairpin with her.
Old jade is yellowish, but my little fox is snow-white.
But she felt somewhat unwilling. Was she so easily coaxed? Even her own little fox could see it?
"Oh, he is so confident, playing hard to get, as if I, huh, as if I am destined to marry only him?"
I raised my head and pursed my lips in grievance.
"Well, of course he would think so. My elder sister is already past the age of getting married, so he would naturally think that you are waiting for him. If you don't marry him, is there any other way..."
I felt so wronged, but I still tried to lean my head forward, almost pointing at myself to offer myself as the bed.
Oh, of course, the favorability level might not be high enough right now, since I just transformed.
But, I'm not talking nonsense. According to elder sister's idea, that's right. Long Aotian has no rival in love. At least, he doesn't bother to regard a fox like me as his opponent. In this case, he will be coaxed into doing good sooner or later.
The elder sister hummed softly again, thought for a while, drank a sip of her sour plum soup, and turned to look at me.
Petting the fox seemed to help relieve stress, and soon the elder sister's hand climbed up to my big ears and started to touch them comfortably without any hesitation.
"Xiao Lizhi, who taught you these words? How do you know so much?"
I rubbed against my elder sister, still upset about what had just happened.
"No one taught me, but I'm very smart. Don't look down on me because I'm a young boy. I'm a real adult demon."
I patted my chest to show that I am very capable and that people should not treat me as an ordinary little monster.
The older sister swept away her previous low mood, burst into laughter, and reached out to pinch my still puffy little face.
"Do not believe."
"It's true. I've transformed, which naturally means I've become an adult. I'm the celestial fox above the nine-tailed fox, and I have the magical powers of clairvoyance and the eye of heaven."
I continued to brag.
Chapter 41: Easy to Raise
Yan Luoqing stroked her cute little fox, silently thinking about what she had just said, feeling a little uncomfortable in her heart.
During her years as a witch, she had seen young men being impulsive and passionate, awkward but sincere in their pursuit of love. Whether they were impulsively confessing their love to each other or expressing their feelings in poems to convey their lovesickness, even if it seemed funny to others, it was still typical of young people.
I once said that I wanted to confirm my feelings by looking at the outcome of the relationship between Hu Qinghuai and Miss Xiangxiang.
As a result, they fell in love with each other and opened their hearts to each other. Even though there were differences between humans and demons, they dared to face their own hearts. At the last moment, the timid Hu Qinghuai bravely stood in front of Miss Xiangxiang who refused to abandon him.
That's why she was so angry when Hu Qinghuai was shot.
But my junior brother is not like that.
His junior fellow apprentice, Long Aotian, always managed to maintain a close yet distant relationship with him, cautiously testing the development of their relationship and never crossing that line.
Even if he took the initiative to take half a step forward, Long Aotian would definitely take half a step back.
She didn't like this feeling.
Maybe I am a girl with a strong possessiveness. She doesn't dislike shy people. She prefers to be the active one, just like with her own little fox. She can hug it when she wants and pet it when she wants.
It felt really good to be able to hold her completely in my arms.
But it was not like now. Although Long Aotian did not act proactively and seemed to be giving in to her, this made her feel more and more uncomfortable.
Part of it was that I felt like I was being led by him, but more of it was, well, it was very unnatural.
Yes, the reason why I have always felt resentful and confused towards Long Aotian is because it is unnatural!
He maintains a mutual affection between you and me, but he keeps testing me repeatedly and is unwilling to take the initiative to take the next step. When the relationship becomes distant, he will certainly give you a carefully prepared gift as a surprise.
It's not that he doesn't know how to coax a girl. This is clearly a sign that he has studied it thoroughly.
Shouldn't people with truly simple minds and sentimental personalities be as bold in love and hate as Miss Xiangxiang and the others, and as sincere as ordinary young men and women?
In fact, from childhood to adulthood, she has never lacked confessions of love from others, both in person and in love letters.
Her answers were similar. When she was practicing martial arts, she said she was focused on learning martial arts and had no time to think about anything else. After becoming a shrine maiden, she said her career was the only thing on her mind.
Therefore, if Long Aotian really confessed his love to me, I might not agree directly. Although I am older, I am not mentally prepared to get married.
But he seemed to have seen through this in advance, and thus lured himself. Although he was not in front of me, he could make people think of him and miss him. He would not let the relationship become distant, nor would he take the initiative to go a step further.
Until he completely enters your life, you will look forward to his surprises and get used to his tenderness. In this way, you will no longer have the room to reject him.
If he had not experienced this kind of tricks with a few girls, how could he have been so skilled in performing such tricks?
This kind of relationship was not what she expected.
"Wooooooaa, big sister, can you please stop rubbing me?"
The crying voice of the little guy interrupted her thoughts. She looked down and realized that she had been stroking the little guy for a long time in the sour plum soup shop without paying attention to anyone around.
Hehe, does she think she will be bald?
The innocent and somewhat silly little guy is indeed the cutest.
"Come on, Little Litchi, let's go home."
Yan Luoqing pulled the little guy up, paid for the drinks, and walked towards the shrine.
"Look at the little guy again, guess what gift he will prepare for me?"
There was a barely perceptible sneer on Yan Luoqing's lips.
"Hmm? Hmm..."
The little guy tilted his head, but was confused.
Oh, my little one doesn’t have the same thoughts as Long Aotian, so it’s useless for me to ask.
"Well, if it were you, what would you buy?"
Yan Luoqing smiled.
Just looking at my little fox makes me feel better.
