“Don’t, Senior Sister. You’ll really disappear.”
Fang Xuan let himself be dragged toward the house, but he planted his feet stubbornly to the ground and refused to budge.
Ning Xian turned back. Seeing the way he looked as if facing a great enemy, she forced her small face to stiffen, trying to make a “Senior Sister is very fierce” expression.
“What nonsense are you saying? Your Senior Sister is this powerful—how could I possibly disappear?”
Fang Xuan still didn’t move.
Powerful was powerful, but foolish was also truly foolish.
He shook his head. “Still no. Senior Sister, let’s take it slow. There’s no rush for just a day or two.”
“No.” Ning Xian shook her head even more decisively than he did.
“You’re about to undergo Tribulation Crossing. Your condition must be adjusted to the best state. You’ve grasped the laws of lust, but you still need to consolidate your foundation. What if something goes wrong during the tribulation?”
She spoke with complete seriousness, as if she were only considering her junior brother’s cultivation.
If not for the fact that her ears were red enough to drip blood.
Fang Xuan looked at her like this and sighed helplessly. “Then Senior Sister, I’ll go slower this time…”
“No.” Ning Xian cut him off immediately, lifting her small chin.
“Are you looking down on your Senior Sister?”
Fang Xuan: “……”
If he had known, he wouldn’t have praised his Senior Sister so much before.
Looking at Ning Xian’s “I’m super fierce” expression, he truly didn’t know what to say.
After waiting a while without getting a response, Ning Xian bit her lower lip and gently rubbed against him in his arms.
This was already the most she could manage in terms of acting spoiled.
If she went any further… she would die of embarrassment.
But her junior brother remained unmoved.
She secretly lowered her head to glance at Little Xuan—it hadn’t even stood up yet…
Ning Xian’s sense of defeat instantly surged.
Since when… could she not even successfully seduce her junior brother?
She could only muster her courage again, lift her head, and try to look dignified.
“I command you to…”
“To what, Senior Sister?”
Fang Xuan helplessly took out a spirit bun from his system space and began eating it leisurely.
“I command you to… to…”
She opened her mouth but found she couldn’t say those words at all.
Things like “be rough with me,” or “until I can’t get out of bed,” or “until I cry”…
How could she possibly say such things?
But she still had one ultimate move.
Her junior brother… loved playing with her legs the most.
Although being so obvious in seducing him was too… too shameless.
No, no—this was all for her junior brother’s strength.
……
“Alright, Senior Sister—”
Fang Xuan stopped mid-sentence, his gaze uncontrollably dropping somewhere.
At some point, Ning Xian had lifted a corner of her skirt, revealing her fair and slender legs.
Fang Xuan swallowed.
Don’t look. Don’t look.
Clear heart, few desires…
Seeing his reaction, Ning Xian’s earlier frustration vanished instantly, replaced with a small sense of pride.
“Hmph~”
……
And just like that, they sank into… indulgence for quite some time.
Ahem.
That day, in the large courtyard.
Before undergoing Tribulation Crossing, Fang Xuan prepared to settle matters in the lower realm.
Things always changed unpredictably.
He had originally thought he would stay in the lower realm for a long time. Who would have expected he would leave so soon?
Of the three lingering immortals, two were dead, and the last had completely hidden himself, not daring to show his face.
As for the Fang family, the Second Elder had sent word that everything was fine and told him to ascend without worry.
There was nothing left to be concerned about.
Except—
“Senior Sister,” he spoke.
“Mm?”
“Has Taihuang Valley been prepared?”
Ning Xian nodded. “Yes. The terrain there is open, spiritual energy is abundant—very suitable for Tribulation Crossing. And since the Six-Armed Demonic Venerable died there, the residual laws of destruction can help conceal things a bit.”
Fang Xuan nodded.
“Then let’s go.” He stood up and took her hand.
Ning Xian let him lead her, raising her hand to tear open a spatial rift.
……
Taihuang Valley.
The same endless barren mountains, sand filling the sky.
But in the very center of the valley floor, a flat clearing had already been prepared, intricate spirit patterns carved into the ground.
Fang Xuan stood in the center and looked up at the sky.
Tribulation clouds were already gathering.
Dark layers of clouds surged from the horizon, blotting out the sun. Within them, golden lightning flickered faintly.
The final lightning of the ninth level of Tribulation Crossing—its power would be extraordinary.
But he wasn’t panicked.
Three laws, two sword intents, and his Senior Sister watching from the side.
Nothing to fear.
He turned to look at Ning Xian standing at the mouth of the valley.
“Senior Sister.”
“Mm?” Ning Xian looked up.
“When I reach the Upper Realm… how do I find you?”
He asked casually.
But Ning Xian’s body stiffened noticeably.
“I… I’ll follow you up.”
Fang Xuan froze. “Hm…?”
Something was off about her tone.
He stared at her.
Ning Xian grew flustered under his gaze and hurried to add, “I… I’m not planning to run away.”
Fang Xuan said lazily, “Senior Sister knows what the punishment for running away is.”
Ning Xian’s face turned red.
Of course she knew… just thinking about it made her legs tremble.
“I won’t.” She shook her head, her voice so soft it carried no conviction.
Fang Xuan was about to say more when—
“Boom—!”
A thunderous explosion tore through the sky. Golden lightning split the heavens.
The tribulation clouds had fully formed. The lightning could descend at any moment.
Fang Xuan glanced at the sky, then at Ning Xian shrinking at the valley entrance.
There was no more time.
“Be good, Senior Sister. Don’t run, okay?”
Otherwise, what was he supposed to do alone in the Upper Realm? Without Senior Sister leading him, he didn’t understand the rules there very well.
Then he turned around. Oblivion left its sheath, and he charged toward the first bolt of lightning.
……
Ning Xian stood in place, watching that slender figure swallowed by purple-gold lightning.
Her heart clenched tightly.
Junior Brother… you must be alright.
Fang Xuan’s figure rose and fell within the lightning. Three laws circulated around him as he forcibly endured each heavenly thunder strike.
Ning Xian stood at the valley entrance.
She was already preparing to leave.
If she didn’t go now, she would definitely be dragged along to the Upper Realm later by her junior brother…
But she couldn’t help thinking—just one more look. Just one more.
So she quietly tore open a spatial rift and slipped inside.
This way… he shouldn’t notice, right?
She hid within the rift, only revealing a pair of eyes as she stared at the figure amid the lightning.
Junior Brother… he shouldn’t discover her. She was only hiding to watch for a while.
After the tribulation ended, she… she would—
Before she could finish thinking that “would,” her gaze suddenly met Fang Xuan’s, who turned back from within the lightning.
His body was covered in blood, clothes torn apart—but toward her direction, he grinned.
Ning Xian’s heart skipped again.
The next second, she hurriedly pulled her head back.
It’s over, it’s over… I’ve been discovered.
No, no—that’s impossible. He’s undergoing Tribulation Crossing. How could he notice her?
She must have imagined it.
She cautiously poked half her head out again.
Fang Xuan had already turned his back to her, continuing to withstand the lightning.
Ning Xian let out a sigh of relief.
Good, good.
She rested her chin on the edge of the rift again and continued watching that figure…
The tribulation was still ongoing.
