Chapter 399: Chapter 221: Wanting to Embrace Junior Brother; Bestowing the Title of Divine Son
The Array Disc rotates, and You Su, smiling faintly, disappears into the sea of clouds winding around the mountain peak alongside his senior sister.
The Third Elder was shocked on the spot and only came to his senses after a while, cursing:
"Brat!"
He too could only shake his head and walk down the mountain trail.
"Junior brother, thank you..."
Xiaohua crawled back into Wangshu’s hair, serving as a hairpin.
Wangshu lowered her head, not daring to look at You Su, her right hand placed behind her back, involuntarily clutching her skirt hem, visibly nervous.
You Su, with a clear and bright smile, said solemnly:
"If I promise my senior sister something, I will definitely make it happen."
Fairy Wangshu’s body suddenly paused, and misty water vapor seemed to meander within her dim eyes.
The young girl took a step forward, and You Su was startled, retreating to the corner of the Crystal Pod, yet Wangshu unhesitatingly reached out to grasp his hands.
Though senior sister practiced swordsmanship diligently, her hands were completely free of any roughness, feeling as smooth as jade and amethyst, making people reluctant to let go.
However, You Su was surprised to discover that senior sister’s palms were no longer icy cold, but instead warm.
This girl whose temperature was cold due to her Innate Purity was now flushed because of his few words.
"Senior sister... are you okay?"
Wangshu shook her head in response, yet You Su distinctly heard her breathing become slightly more rapid.
You Su slightly furrowed his sword-shaped eyebrows; last time, senior sister’s temperature was heightened due to an unexpected entanglement when he was inside Xiaohua’s belly, but why would it change again without physical contact this time?
Could it be that senior sister’s increased temperature... is due to her emotions being stirred?
The girl tightened her grip on You Su’s hands even more, causing him to feel slight pain.
Being held like this by senior sister indefinitely wasn’t feasible, so You Su asked:
"Is there anything that senior sister needs me to help with?"
Fairy Wangshu looked up, her eyes reflecting complex and indescribable emotions.
"I really want... really want to hug junior brother..."
The girl in the white dress spoke earnestly as if pleading.
She knew well that junior brother often used the pretext, ’Men and women should not touch,’ to deliberately maintain distance, yet she couldn’t suppress the restless yearning within her heart.
She didn’t understand why, after he spoke those words, she desperately wanted to be closer and more intimate with junior brother.
Until just now, this feeling reached its peak.
Wangshu’s hands tightly clamped on You Su’s, as if preventing him from fleeing, even causing the pressure in the Crystal Pod to rise with the girl’s emotional excitement.
You Su pursed his lips lightly.
Just now, he decided to regard senior sister as an equal emotional presence, and now he had to be more cautious in face of her request to embrace.
The one he was hugging wasn’t a little girl, but a woman with independent will.
Yet the words of refusal hovered at the edge of You Su’s lips but refused to be uttered.
Senior sister probably likes me too...
If she doesn’t like me, who would she like?
You Su tried imagining another man embracing his senior sister, but could only picture his own face.
You Su seemed to make a significant decision, his gaze suddenly firm.
I guess I am a greedy person... but I truly can’t let go of any of them...
So let me strive to be worthy of my own greed!
You Su extended the free hand, opened his arms, and said:
"If senior sister wants to hug, then just hug."
Wangshu looked at You Su in astonishment.
Her stature was tall, just slightly shorter than You Su, yet as she suddenly dashed into his embrace, she resembled a swallow returning to its forest.
At that moment, soft warmth and fragrance filled his arms.
You Su gently patted the young girl’s beautiful back, and suddenly, the moment was like a colorful brocade without pattern, fragrant and romantic, her snowy hair like a begonia blossom in lingering thoughts.
Not sure of her emotions, this peerless fairy from both earthly and divine realms, only knew she wanted to stay with her junior brother without separation.
Both remained silent, only holding each other tightly.
You Su quietly pressed the pause button on the cloud ladder, allowing the clouds to envelop them. He felt the lightness of the girl in his arms, as if she were made of clouds.
Meanwhile, the Third Elder, strolling leisurely downhill, furrowed her brows, wondering why the celestial ladder seemed so slow. She had already descended the mountain, yet it hadn’t reached the bottom.
But she had no time to delve into the ladder’s affairs; the most critical thing now was to concoct a reason to explain to the people at the Exorcism Bureau.
The beautiful woman shook her head, drank a sip of fine wine, and boarded the plantain-leaf-shaped green boat, vanishing from the spot.
Midway, she encountered the Chief Elder, who was also heading to the meeting, one of the three Chiefs of the Exorcism Bureau—the Celestial Technique Chief.
The Third Elder briefly explained to the Chief Elder the reason You Su couldn’t make it today, expressing her disapproval of You Su’s conduct yet feeling helpless.
"The Third Elder seems particularly understanding towards You Su."
Unexpectedly, the Chief Elder wasn’t angry, instead smiling lightly.
The Third Elder’s face stiffened, not understanding his intention.
The Chief Elder continued:
"If the Third Elder truly thinks he doesn’t measure up, you could simply bind him here without explaining so much."
After a moment of silence, the Third Elder sighed gently:
"I can see that Wangshu genuinely doesn’t want her junior brother to leave; she rarely expresses her wishes like this, so I allowed them."
"Then let them enjoy another day."
The Chief Elder remained standing in mid-air, hands folded behind.
The Chief Elder was laid-back, and You Su was someone he valued highly, so indulging You Su’s whims seemed understandable to the Third Elder.
But for the other members of the Exorcism Bureau...
