"Whoosh—"
Ye Chen gently removed Zhang Lexuan's long boots, revealing a pair of small feet encased in ultra-thin black stockings.
Hmm, although they were warm, thankfully, they weren't smoking.
The ultra-thin black stockings seemed to be made of a material Ye Chen had never seen before, reflecting a hazy luster under the light. The lines of her feet were as smooth as if drawn with a fine brush, and a faint pink hue was clearly visible through her heels.
Ye Chen's palm covered her heel, a soft touch coming from it.
Years of cultivation had not made the soles of her feet firm and hard; instead, they still had excellent elasticity.
Ye Chen pondered, then began to gently massage them.
Although he wasn't very skilled, helping to relieve fatigue was still quite simple.
"Hmm, your hand strength is good~"
Zhang Lexuan's eyes curved into crescents, and the tip of her foot, encased in black stockings, suddenly lightly tapped Ye Chen's wrist, showing her appreciation.
At the same time, her gaze towards Ye Chen was full of admiration and hope.
Before, she also liked to have Bei Bei massage her feet, but Bei Bei, that silly Silly, would deliberately say her feet smelled, then run away, not understanding anything.
How could a Spirit Master's feet smell? At most, they would just have a slight odor.
Ye Chen was still obedient; when she asked him to massage her feet, he did it without hesitation…
"Ugh… If only he were my younger brother…" Zhang Lexuan muttered subconsciously.
Ye Chen, with his sharp ears and eyes, naturally heard everything, but he pretended not to hear clearly. He looked up curiously at Zhang Lexuan and asked, "Senior Sister, what did you say?"
"Hmm… I said, if only you were my younger brother~"
Zhang Lexuan and Ye Chen's eyes met, and she smiled sweetly, subconsciously reaching out to pinch Ye Chen's face.
Hmm, it felt so good…
"It's not impossible. If Senior Sister is willing, I can be your sworn younger brother~" Ye Chen knew Zhang Lexuan was too embarrassed to say it, so he offered it proactively.
"Really?"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Lexuan's dark purple eyes suddenly lit up, and the joy on her face could not be suppressed.
"Mm!"
Ye Chen nodded heavily and said, "I'm an only child. Since I was young, I've envied other children who had sisters to protect them. Senior Sister is so strong; who wouldn't want a big sister like that~"
Ye Chen chuckled.
"Hahahaha~ Then from now on, I'll be your sworn elder sister. With a sister protecting you, you definitely won't be bullied by anyone~!"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Lexuan was immediately overjoyed. She leaned down and fiercely hugged Ye Chen's head, rubbing it against her chest.
"Mm~ Sister is the best~" Ye Chen's muffled voice came from Zhang Lexuan's chest.
Who wouldn't like such a big sister with such profound thoughts and a broad mind?
"Then it's settled~" Zhang Lexuan's face was slightly red, and she quickly released Ye Chen.
She was too excited just now and forgot that she was dressed rather lightly.
But it didn't matter; anyway, Ye Chen was her sworn younger brother now, and she didn't mind him taking a little advantage.
"Alright, alright, Xiao Chen, you should go back and rest first. When it's time for the operation tonight, I'll have Sister Xiao Tao call you."
Zhang Lexuan felt it was about time, so she gently waved her hand.
Her calling Ye Chen over this time was just an excuse for a massage; she simply wanted to chat with Ye Chen and understand him more deeply.
It was originally just a simple getting-to-know-you, but she didn't expect such a pleasant surprise.
However, there was still a mission tonight, and she didn't want to keep Ye Chen here for too long, lest it lead to gossip from Ma Xiaotao and Ling Luochen…
"Mm, then, Sister, I'll be leaving first~" Ye Chen nodded, stood up, and politely bid farewell, then turned and left.
He gently closed the door.
"So obedient…"
Zhang Lexuan listened to Ye Chen's departing footsteps, her beautiful eyes flickering slightly.
Ever since she met Ye Chen, she subconsciously compared him to Bei Bei.
Every time she compared them, her admiration for Ye Chen grew stronger.
Because Bei Bei and Ye Chen were simply incomparable; Bei Bei was completely crushed in all aspects by Ye Chen.
Talent, looks, strength, age…
Well, in terms of age, Bei Bei could indeed suppress Ye Chen, as he was three years older than Ye Chen, which was a permanent suppression.
Her feelings for Bei Bei, besides growing up with him, were also attracted by Bei Bei's excellence.
Talented boys are always popular.
In her heart, Bei Bei's talent was the strongest she had ever seen among the opposite sex, after all, he was a descendant of Elder Mu…
With the Lightning Tyrannical Dragon Spirit, if he was well-cultivated in the future, he even had hopes of reaching Super Douluo and even Limit Douluo!
And now, she had met an opposite-sex individual whose talent was countless times stronger than Bei Bei's, so she was naturally attracted to Ye Chen.
Her sense of worship for Bei Bei had also largely dissipated, leaving only familial affection for him…
Ye Chen's position in her heart gradually began to squeeze out Bei Bei's position.
But she didn't feel repulsed; on the contrary, she felt relaxed, and even somewhat grateful to Ye Chen in her heart.
Because of Ye Chen's appearance, her long-standing emotional knot began to loosen.
Her obsession with Bei Bei also began to loosen.
That was a shackles that had troubled her for several years.
And now, the shackles were slowly being undone, which made her feel an unprecedented sense of ease.
…
…
Ye Chen left Zhang Lexuan's room and didn't go to Ma Xiaotao's or Ling Luochen's place.
Especially Ma Xiaotao; Ye Chen was afraid he wouldn't be able to control himself if he went there…
He had to fight tonight, and he couldn't let a small matter affect Ma Xiaotao.
Even with Zhang Lexuan covering for him, Ye Chen wouldn't act recklessly.
…
Time flew by quickly.
Late at night, Ye Chen heard the sound of Ma Xiaotao's and Ling Luochen's doors opening next door.
Ye Chen ended his cultivation, opened the door, and walked out.
"Xiao Chen, how was your rest? You should be fine, right?" Ma Xiaotao saw Ye Chen and immediately walked over, asking with concern.
She was the main force in this encirclement and had no time to take care of Ye Chen.
Although Ye Chen was strong, he was completely inexperienced, and she was still very worried.
"Don't worry, Sister Xiao Tao, I'm not a child~" Ye Chen patted his chest, assuring her.
He was actually looking forward to tonight's mission.
After all, he had always lived under the protection of his family's wings before and had never experienced combat.
Now that he had the system and powerful strength, he naturally wouldn't be as lazy as before.
Under permissible conditions, he naturally wanted to be more passionate.
Moreover, the girls in this world are all so strong.
A strong person fighting valiantly increases a girl's charm by at least a hundredfold.
Ye Chen had to learn that.
Fighting his own people was boring.
Fighting enemies, he could also save the beauty in the future, and those tricks never go out of style.
Especially in this world of love, no girl can resist it.
"You're the youngest."
Ma Xiaotao gently rolled her eyes at Ye Chen.
Ye Chen's mouth twitched.
If it weren't for maintaining his persona in front of Zhang Lexuan and Ling Luochen, he would have said something cheeky.
Ma Xiaotao dared to slander him like that; it was simply outrageous!
"Alright, alright, you two hurry up and set off. Delays can lead to complications. Although I'll be watching from behind, unless you encounter a situation you can't resolve, I won't intervene."
Zhang Lexuan waved her hand, speaking indifferently, her authority as the Senior Sister returning.
