Chapter 1161: Senior Martial Brother, Shall We Sleep Together?

“What time is it even? Are you okay? You’re acting like an old man; your master hasn’t slept yet, and here you are trying to snooze! Wake up and get lively!”

Sigh, just go to sleep instead; having you awake just causes trouble, always thinking of stirring up something.

And you’re already ready to sleep, yet you still snuggle up close—aren’t you afraid of not breathing?

This outburst feels different from before; in the past, after an explosion, I’d feel rejuvenated and full of energy. Now, I’m so tired I can barely keep my eyes open.

Perhaps this is a symptom after controlling this power—my body is in excellent condition, but my spirit has worn out, making me easily fatigued.

Well, the ancestral home is right in front of me; I can just use Spirit Technique to clear the dust inside. It should be good enough for a sleep.

It’s been almost a year since I last stayed here, the last time being when I came back with Ruo’er and Xia Hanmo for the memorial. And look, it’s almost time for the memorial again.

But without Ruo’er around, Xia Hanmo will surely be heartbroken; she’s already treated Ruo’er like her own daughter.

No, more like a daughter-in-law.

Actually, Xia Hanmo had that thought long ago—if her son didn’t turn out well, marrying the maid Ruo’er wouldn’t be so bad. Of course, before that, getting involved with a maid from the Lin family wouldn’t have been proper; she never said it aloud.

After cutting ties with the Lin family, she brought it up to him multiple times, hoping he could find a virtuous wife who would support him from start to finish.

And of course, having a grandchild sooner would be even better.

If he wants to marry now, it’s incredibly easy. There are all kinds of types out there, each more beautiful than the last—fair-skinned beauties, charm-filled older sisters wielding magic, celestial maidens, and even the empress of the commoners.

Wait, when did the empress become one of them?

But undeniable, he indeed had something with the empress and once thought it could happen.

It’s not that there’s anything he can’t let go—like Su Kexin, who was supposed to be the one to cut him down in the script, and yet he can tell her he loves her.

Speaking of her, where’s her master? Hasn’t gotten on the carriage and isn’t coming back?

Lin Nuo looked around, only to realize he overthought it; that old man is back, just not far away. He leaned on his spirit staff, gazing up at the bright moon, clearly lost in thought—the kind of mood that inspires an impromptu poem. Goodbye, Li Bai and Du Fu, they’re out of a job.

Long time no see the moon of the mortal world, and right now, emotions must be overwhelming.

Old folks really love reminiscing; after all, it’s not long until they enter the ground, so they tend to reflect on their youth and those naive, foolish times.

But the Su family has good looks in their genes; this old man was probably a total heartthrob back in the day.

Whatever, let him soak in the night breeze. My priority is to get Su Kexin home.

You’re still not done kissing? Are you planning to kiss all night? If you’re not suffocating, imagine how I feel!

Come on, wash up and sleep.

Lin Nuo lightly pushed Su Kexin away, interrupting their kiss. Honestly, while kissing a beautiful girl isn’t a loss, this sudden intrusion caught him off guard, and he felt a bit disgusted.

As though he were the one being violated—what about my personal rights?

“Hmm… Senior Martial Brother… I’m not done kissing yet…”

“Kiss? Aren’t you tired? Just go inside and sleep.”

“Then, Senior Martial Brother, carry me inside.”

Su Kexin spread her arms, asking for a hug. What a pure little girl, leaving Lin Nuo at a loss for words.

Just keep being this useless.

At your age, and you still need me to carry you to bed.

Well, there’s no choice but to go along with her wishes.

Lin Nuo crouched slightly and picked up Su Kexin in a princess carry. She was so light, it didn’t take any effort at all.

“Are you going to rest?”

Just then, the old man had wandered over, giving Lin Nuo quite a scare. Was he using ghostly footsteps? He had just been gazing at the moon in deep thought and somehow appeared right here.

“Yes. This is my family’s ancestral home; you can also rest inside. Once morning comes, you can reunite with your old companion.”

“Thank you, young man. But I’m still not tired. I want to take a walk outside. The changes here are so big, I can hardly recognize it.”

“In that case, don’t wander off too far; if you get lost, I won’t come looking for you,” Lin Nuo teased.

“Getting lost isn’t really possible; I’ll just leave markers to find my way back. You all look tired, so sleep early.”

With that, the old man turned and sauntered away, wandering around the village, reminiscing his youth.

Forget him.

Inside we go.

Lin Nuo carried Su Kexin through the door and walked into one of the rooms. He continued until they reached the bed before gently setting her down.

“Alright, you can rest here.”

“Senior Martial Brother, I’m so tired; can you help me take off my shoes and clothes?”

“…You have hands and feet.”

“Hmm… just help me out, okay? Senior Martial Brother is the best~ I love you the most~”

Su Kexin leaned into Lin Nuo’s affection, leaving him no option but to oblige. Delivering the offering until the very end, if it lets her fall asleep, that’s good enough.

He first took off Su Kexin’s shoes, and her slender, white legs were revealed before his eyes.

To be honest, her legs can pull off the look in white stockings very well; they’re long and fit well, and her soft-girl image only accentuates her cuteness.

Her dad must’ve realized this and gifted her a pair of white stockings.

These stockings are quite durable; theoretically, after rough usage outside, they should have been dirty, but they can self-clean and look as good as new.

“Do you want to take off your socks?” Lin Nuo asked.

“Senior Martial Brother, if you like it, then it’s fine.”

“What do you mean by ‘if I like it’? Does it even matter?”

“It does! I remember Senior Martial Brother once praised my legs as beautiful.”

“Did I?”

Lin Nuo thought back and seemed to recall such an event; back when he was a useless nobody, he’d made such shameless comments to tease the little junior sister.

“Of course!” Su Kexin said firmly.

“Even if I did, what’s the relevance?”

“It matters! If Senior Martial Brother likes them, then I won’t take them off. But if Senior Martial Brother prefers bare feet, then I’ll take them off; making Senior Martial Brother happy is my utmost honor, after all, it’s meant to be shown to you.”

“Why does it sound like you’re saying that I’m going to peek at you while you sleep?”

“Not at all! If we sleep together, we’re definitely going to see a little bit of each other. Also, let’s take off the clothes; I’m sorry for the trouble. How regrettable; I should’ve prepared more lingerie, then Senior Martial Brother would have more choices. Of course, if you prefer me completely naked, then I’m fine with that as well. In any case, whatever you want to do with me is alright.”

Su Kexin was already lying obediently, eagerly awaiting what Lin Nuo would do next.

“I’ll go to another room.”

“Ah! Senior Martial Brother, I—I’m scared… how can you leave me to sleep alone? You said you loved me.”

Su Kexin quickly grabbed Lin Nuo’s hand, worried he’d run away. With a lonely man and woman alone together, wouldn’t they naturally want to share a bed?

“Senior Martial Brother, I—I want to…”

Su Kexin’s cheeks turned slightly red, eager to do what she dreamed of doing in the past.
