"Cough cough... cough cough... cough cough... sigh..."
After a long while.
Xu Yang steadily left Xu Dongying's residence.
Inside the attic.
Creak—
The cabinet door quietly opened, and a graceful figure fell out unexpectedly. Her cheeks were flushed, faintly hot, and her expression was flustered, as if she had experienced something extremely thrilling.
On the bed, a weary Xu Dongying opened her sleepy eyes, glanced down, and sighed softly, followed by endless silence.
Xue Jinli sat on the floor for a long time, and it took her a while to recover. She felt Xu Dongying's gaze and heard Xu Dongying's sigh. She also knew what she had done. The opportunity was right in front of her, but she just missed it. Anyone would be disappointed in her.
Not to mention Xu Dongying, Xue Jinli was scolding herself in her heart for being too cowardly, without any of the demeanor of a Mischief King, which was especially speechless.
Xu Dongying was too tired, so tired that she couldn't even open her eyes. She had said before that for the sake of Senior Sister Jinli's happiness, she would suffer a bit herself. Therefore, she didn't leave herself any room for maneuver. But as it turned out, she suffered, but Senior Sister Jinli didn't dare to come out and hid in the cabinet the whole time. If she wasn't very familiar with Senior Sister Jinli, she would have suspected that the other party had some strange fetish.
"Senior Sister Jinli, please go out first. I want to rest well."
Xu Dongying was not Yuan Kou Xuan after all, nor Ji Hongluan, and did not have the ability to fight alone.
It should be noted that sometimes fatigue is after overwork. Xu Dongying must take a good rest to restore her energy.
Xue Jinli was extremely embarrassed, and she couldn't blame Xu Dongying. From her perspective, Xu Dongying was not only very helpful, but also specially called her several times at the right time for her happiness.
There was a moment when she wanted to come out of the cabinet, but her legs were already weak and had no feeling. Her whole body was stiff, and she couldn't move anywhere except breathe.
—She was scared!
"Dongying, how about next time..."
Xue Jinli felt that it was because it was her first time seeing a big scene that she was so flustered. If she saw more big scenes and overcame her inner fear, maybe she could face the flood and beasts directly.
"Senior Sister Jinli, I'm sorry, but I can't help you anymore."
Xu Dongying closed her eyes, and even her voice became a little weak. She was mentally decadent, and she estimated that she would have to rest for at least a few days to return to normal.
Xue Jinli's face was a little red, and she also knew that her request sounded a bit excessive:
"I'm sorry, Dongying, it's because I'm useless, and I've caused you trouble."
"It's okay, after all, we are sisters."
Xu Dongying didn't resent Xue Jinli, because it was the same with or without her, but she had used too much force in the early stage, so she was physically exhausted and fell into the current situation.
Xue Jinli didn't know what to say, just kept wringing her hands, hoping to ease the awkward atmosphere:
"Yes, yes, yes, we are sisters. Dongying, you are my best junior sister. Since we have the best relationship, I think you shouldn't mind helping me again for a while..."
"Senior Sister Jinli, I..."
"Dongying, you have consumed too much energy, so don't speak if you can help it."
Xue Jinli was afraid of being rejected by Xu Dongying, so she directly interrupted her.
Xu Dongying felt both helpless and amused: "Senior Sister Jinli, even if I am willing to help you next time, are you sure you can take that step in your heart?"
Xu Dongying's words were like an arrow, accurately hitting the weak spot in Xue Jinli's heart, causing her to involuntarily recall the scene just now in her mind and constantly ask herself in her heart:
'If it happens again, will the result be different?'
Xue Jinli's expression gradually became complicated, and her eyes suddenly became confused. At this moment, her heart was empty, without any answer, because she didn't know whether she could be brave and carry out a rebellion against her master.
Xu Dongying saw the thoughts in Xue Jinli's heart and said considerately:
"Senior Sister Jinli, I don't think you need to rush to rebel against your master. Being a disciple is also good."
When Xue Jinli heard this, she immediately felt that Xu Dongying had given up on her and became a little anxious:
"Dongying, no, I really like Master. I don't want to be a disciple. You can't give up on me. You have to help me."
"No, no, no, I'm not asking Senior Sister Jinli to give up the idea of rebelling against her master, but I think, Senior Sister Jinli, you are too anxious, so anxious that you haven't even made any mental preparations. All you can think about is rebelling against your master, but when the right opportunity comes, you can't grasp it. I think, Senior Sister Jinli, you should try to slow down and try to get along with Master as a disciple first. In the process of getting along, don't have any covetous thoughts towards Master."
"In this long-term relationship, you will get used to being with Master, and you won't be as afraid of being honest with Master as you are today, and then it will happen naturally, and maybe you will be able to rebel against your master successfully."
"Senior Sister Jinli, this is just my humble opinion. I don't know if it can give you any inspiration?"
Xu Dongying was patiently helping Xue Jinli, without any selfish intentions, and not like Situ Qingqing, who wanted to monopolize Master and was particularly jealous. She knew that a man as excellent as Master could not be exclusively owned by any woman, because there was no woman in the world who could truly suppress Master, and she was not like the Sect Master and Eldest Senior Sister either. She didn't have the intention of fighting for the position of the main wife. In her opinion, it was enough as long as she could stay by Master's side for the rest of her life.
Xue Jinli pondered for a moment, looked up at Xu Dongying, her expression became firm, and said:
"Dongying, you said a lot. I was too anxious, and I was afraid of Master. I didn't dare to face Master directly. This is my own reason, and I must try my best to overcome it."
"Then Senior Sister Jinli, have you found a way to overcome it?"
Xu Dongying asked patiently.
"I found it."
Xue Jinli nodded: "All fear comes from insufficient strength. As long as my cultivation level improves and I have a realm comparable to Master, I shouldn't be afraid of Master anymore."
In the world of cultivation, the stronger the strength, the more terrifying the strength of the physical body. This is a well-established thing and cannot be doubted.
And Master, as the peak of the Tribulation Transcending Realm, his physical strength can be called the strongest in the world, but she has not even reached the Void Breaking Realm. In her situation, wanting to rebel against her master is not much different from hitting a stone with an egg.
Therefore, she has to work hard to cultivate. During this time, because her mind was full of the idea of rebelling against her master, her cultivation progress has slowed down, and even Master suspected that she was just slacking off these days...
She doesn't want to be like this anymore. Work hard to meet a better self. Jinli, come on!
"Dongying, you should have a good rest. I won't need your help next time. I will face the difficulties myself!"
At this moment, Xue Jinli really awakened. Soon, she left Xu Dongying's room.
