The crescent moon once again hung in the night sky, and Fragrant Flower Pavilion was brightly lit.
Moonlight filtered through the window and spilled into the room.
After what had just happened and with Senior Sister Yuyan giving him Lin Ruo’s item, Chu Feng looked at the azure talisman in his hand and felt as if it were a hot potato.
Chu Feng raised his head.
The soft glow of the night pearl lit up Bai Yuyan’s beautiful face. Her long eyelashes trembled, as if catching the light, making her look especially beautiful.
Naturally, Bai Yuyan noticed her junior brother’s gaze. Slowly, she rose to her feet and walked over to the large pool in the center.
Under Chu Feng’s gaze, she lifted her skirt, revealing long straight legs. With her legs pressed closely together and illuminated by the soft glow, her fair skin appeared even more striking.
Bai Yuyan removed her silk stockings, revealing snow-white feet with toenails painted a soft pink.
Carefully, she dipped her toes into the water. Once fully submerged, she sat at the edge of the pool, gently swinging her feet and splashing water. A faint smile curved her lips. It was a scene straight out of a painting of a fairy playing in water.
If any internet user had seen this scene, they might’ve transformed into Kua Fu on the spot and drunk the entire pool dry.
(TN: Kua Fu is a giant from ancient Chinese mythology.)
“Junior Brother, want to join me?”
Bai Yuyan turned her head slightly. Her beautiful eyes shimmered with light.
“No, no thanks.”
Chu Feng quickly shook his head in refusal. With the way Senior Sister Yuyan looked right now, he absolutely didn’t dare go play in the water with her. He wasn’t some kind of saint… but if things got out of hand, it wouldn’t end well.
He didn’t even know how to define his current relationship with their master, so he definitely couldn’t afford to get involved with another senior sister. That would make things way too messy.
Splash—
Bai Yuyan gently kicked her feet, sending ripples across the water’s surface.
She wasn’t upset that her junior brother had turned her down. That only meant their relationship wasn’t close enough yet. It didn’t matter much; there was still plenty of time in this lifetime~
“Junior Brother!”
“Mhmm? What is it, Senior Sister Yuyan?”
Hearing her, Chu Feng stood up and walked over to her side.
Only at such close distance did he realize Senior Sister Yuyan was like a flower blooming in the night. She was exuding a subtle and elegant fragrance. Just breathing it in made one feel calm and refreshed.
Chu Feng looked into her beautiful eyes, filled with softness, like autumn waters. Just one gentle glance was enough to steal someone’s soul.
“Senior…”
Just as Chu Feng opened his mouth, in the very next instant, a pair of soft cherry lips pressed against his, cutting off whatever he was about to say.
“!!!”
His eyes widened as his heart began pounding uncontrollably.
After a long moment, their lips finally parted.
“Junior Brother, how did that feel?”
Bai Yuyan’s face flushed red as she looked at Chu Feng. In that moment, her beautiful eyes were filled with nothing but affection.
“Senior Sister Yuyan, I… I…” Chu Feng opened his mouth but, for a moment, didn’t know what to say. Everything had happened too suddenly. “Why? Why did you do that?”
At that, Bai Yuyan let out a soft giggle and looked him in the eyes. She said earnestly, “Because I like you, Junior Brother.”
With a wave of her hand, all the windows flew open. From here, the crescent moon hanging in the night sky could be clearly seen.
She pointed her slender finger at the moon and said gently, “Do you remember what I said to you? That the moon is beautiful tonight? That wasn’t just something I said casually. It was how I truly felt, from the bottom of my heart.”
Bai Yuyan gazed at Chu Feng with deep tenderness, a blush blooming across her cheeks.
“Actually, I’ve liked you for a long time, Junior Brother. A very long time. You might not believe it, but…”
“No matter what, this feeling of mine won’t change!”
After hearing her confession, Chu Feng’s throat bobbed. This was the first time in his life that such a beautiful girl had confessed to him so directly.
He opened his mouth to respond, but Bai Yuyan immediately placed a finger gently against his lips.
“There’s no need to answer me right now, Junior Brother. Just think of tonight as your senior sister talking nonsense.”
Chu Feng looked into Bai Yuyan’s beautiful eyes. At this moment, they seemed to shine like stars.
Then, Bai Yuyan’s fingertip gently brushed against his cheek, and she gave him a brilliant smile.
“They say ‘the moon is beautiful tonight’ is a way to confess love…. but honestly, no matter how beautiful the moon is, it still can’t compare to the one in front of me… my own white moon.”
Thump thump—
The sound of Chu Feng’s heartbeat was clear and distinct.
***
The bright moon still hung in the night sky, and from time to time, a shooting star streaked across the darkness.
Chu Feng looked at Bai Yuyan, who was leaning against his shoulder. Her eyes were closed, her long lashes trembling ever so slightly, and the corners of her lips gently curved upward. As if she were having a pleasant dream.
Seeing Bai Yuyan’s incredible beauty at such a close distance, Chu Feng felt as though it were all a dream.
He had suddenly come to another world, suddenly entered the Heaven’s Pinnacle Sect, and was even accepted as a disciple by the Moonlight Sword Fairy. He gained not only an incredibly beautiful master but also an incomparably beautiful senior sister.
When it came to his earlier dual cultivation with his master, Chu Feng could still convince himself that it was all for the sake of training. His master treated him so well that he felt he must repay her kindness in the future in any way he could.
But tonight, with Bai Yuyan’s straightforward confession, he couldn’t think of any excuse to brush it off.
Senior Sister Yuyan said she had liked him for a very long time. But counting from the first time they met, it hadn’t even been a month. And besides… how did she know the hidden meaning of the words “the moon is beautiful tonight”?
All of these questions weighed heavily on Chu Feng’s mind.
He thought so much that his head felt like it was about to burst.
Since he couldn’t figure things out, he decided it was better to focus on cultivation for now.
Thanks to Senior Sister Yuyan’s earlier guidance, Chu Feng had already grasped the general process of cultivation.
***
No one knew how much time had passed. The moon had already finished its shift, and the first rays of dawn pierced through the night.
Chu Feng slowly opened his eyes and let out a breath. After cultivating seriously for the entire night for the first time, he didn’t feel the slightest bit of fatigue. On the contrary, he felt refreshed and energized.
Instinctively, he glanced toward his shoulder only to find that Senior Sister Yuyan’s figure had already disappeared.
He thought that after last night’s confession, Senior Sister Yuyan must have felt shy and gone into hiding. After all, she was still a girl.
But just as he was thinking this, not far away, Senior Sister Yuyan sat by the table. Her beautiful eyes were filled with a smile as she looked at him.
“Junior Brother, let’s have breakfast first,” Bai Yuyan said softly. On the table, breakfast had already been set out.
Chu Feng looked utterly surprised. After last night’s confession, Senior Sister Yuyan could still sit there as if nothing had happened!
“Junior Brother, what’s wrong? Why are you standing there in a daze? If you don’t come over soon, it’ll get cold,” Bai Yuyan said while blinking playfully at him.
“Oh…right, I’m coming.”
Chu Feng walked over and sat down at the table. As he drank his porridge, he noticed Senior Sister Yuyan resting her delicate chin on her hand while gazing at him.
No, no—Senior Sister Yuyan’s beauty was already overwhelming on an ordinary day. But after what happened last night, Chu Feng found her charm even more irresistible.
For Chu Feng, last night had been unforgettable. And for Bai Yuyan, it was the same.
Remembering how she had fallen asleep on her junior brother’s shoulder, Bai Yuyan realized it had been a long time since she had slept so soundly and so peacefully.
And then, waking up in the morning to find her junior brother right beside her… it felt truly wonderful~
