On that very day.

Shen Changge was sitting in his own home and was prepared to lie down and have a pleasant nap.

In the end.

Thud, thud, thud.

“Come in.”

“Senior Brother.” When the door opened, he could only see his junior sister standing at the entrance. She looked gorgeous. She had a beautiful face still brimming with the purity of a young girl. However, her exaggerated body shape made Shen Changge feel that some things were truly natural.

Lin Qingxian looked at Shen Changge and smiled pleasantly.

Ever since she had returned from outside, she felt extremely exhausted. After all, it could be said that wandering in the dark mist required her to be on watch at all times. Normally speaking, living souls like them would feel slightly uncomfortable when they were in the dark mist. Besides, should one remain inside for an extended period of time, it was very likely that their thinking would become affected by some strange things, which would maybe even affect their minds and drive them into insanity!

Therefore, she was really worn out.

After resting for about two days, she was thinking about meeting her senior brother. But as her senior brother was out doing something as well, she had postponed it to that very day.

Today, she finally got to meet her senior brother.

“Have you gotten enough rest already?”

“Yep.”

Shen Changge smiled pleasantly. In fact, the way he treated Lin Qingxian was still pretty decently.

The reason for that was that Lin Qingxian was the only person who approached Shen Changge with a sincere heart.

Lin Qingxian nodded and, as she glanced at Shen Changge’s handsome face, her eyes shook in an unnatural way. Then she walked into his quarters with a composed smile.

“Senior Brother, have you been out in the dark mist over the past few days?”

Lin Qingxian could not help inquiring.

In all honesty, since Ling Qingxian had escaped from the demon tree, she had been constantly wondering who the one who rescued her in the dark mist had been back then. The boundless Swordlight that was as white as snow and the mighty aura that seemingly spanned across the sky had left a deep impression on her.

It was said that a young girl’s fantasy would become more and more colorful over time. In fact, she merely had gotten a vague look at that person’s back on that day. However, in her view, her girly reveries had already elevated that person to the very pinnacle of might, mystery, and prestige!

“Why did you and little Junior Brother ask the same question?” Shen Changge asked.

He could not help but laugh.

Those twos little ones were really interesting.

Senior Brother Qingchen had come to ask this too?

Seemingly remembering Mo Qingchen’s confident and haughty look back then and then thinking that he, too, had come here sneakily to ask Senior Brother Changge about the matter filled Lin Qingxian with the urge to laugh.

“Senior Brother, you must be really powerful, right?” Lin Qingxian asked with an ambiguous smile.

From the very beginning, she already felt that her senior brother was different.

After all, how could a man so handsome…

Be an ordinary person?!

Shen Changge patted Lin Qingxian’s head, causing her eyes to squint. Her lips, as pink and tender as cherries, were slightly pursed at that moment, causing them to curve delicately.

This chick is pretty good at guessing…

Thud.

Shen Changge placed a basket of clothes in front of Lin Qingxian very adeptly.

“Senior Brother… didn’t you say that the last time was the last time?” she asked.

Lin Qingxian was not looking too good. She still remembered that when she was washing her senior brother’s clothes previously, he promised her that that would be the last time.

The little lady looked at Shen Changge angrily.

“Don’t you understand me?” Shen Changge sighed and said, “These clothes are my darlings. They accompany me to the battlefield and spend the long years of cultivation with me. If I leave them in somebody else’s hands, how can my heart be at ease?

“Would you help me take good care of my darlings?”

Shen Changge placed the basket of clothes in Lin Qingxian’s hands and pressed down on them. Lin Qingxian’s tiny white hands were still struggling, but as soon as Shen Changge’s giant hands pressed down on hers, she immediately lost the ability to resist.

Despicable Senior Brother!

He’s making me wash his clothes again!

How mean!

Lin Qingxian gritted her little white teeth, but she did not resist in an overly aggressive manner…

I understand his motivation… but I’m an independent woman living in the Age of the Dark Mist. I cannot let Senior Brother bully me like this!

But… but…

Senior Brother is too handsome!

As an independent woman living in the Age of the Dark Mist, can you bear to turn down a suave man whose handsomeness is in full bloom and is to your tastes?

Can you?

She took the basket of clothes and glanced at Shen Changge’s defined face. A hot flush spread over her cheeks.

Shen Changge could not help smiling.

But subsequently, Shen Changge was startled. All of a sudden, he pulled Lin Qingxian over to him.

“Senior Brother, what are you doing?” Lin Qingxian exclaimed.

Shen Changge yanked her collar and his expression immediately became solemn.

“Senior Brother…”

Lin Qingxian panicked. What was wrong with Senior Brother?

What should I do?

If Senior Brother gives full play to the beast inside him, should I comply, or…?

She secretly glanced sideways at his face. It had become more handsome because of his seriousness…

…

I should just go with the flow, right?

“Did you encounter anything strange today?” Shen Changge’s face was solemn because he had discovered that Lin Qingxian was tagged with a mark on the back of her neck!

If his guess was correct, that mark probably served the purpose of pinpointing her…

Junior Sister was being targeted!

“Uhm… strange things?”

Lin Qingxian looked at Shen Changge strangely but seeing how serious Shen Changge was made her feel as if something had really happened. She began to think hard.

“I don’t think anything strange happened,” she said.

She was still very puzzled. Why had her senior brother suddenly behaved so strangely?

“Who did you meet today?”

“Let me think. I met Senior Brother Qingchen… I also saw Master, the disciples on patrol outside the sect… Oh, by the way, a dried corpse was discovered within the sect today. It’s really horrifying. I also met… Mmm… that disciple, what’s his name again? Oh, Ji Ling. And I also met…”

Shen Changge’s eyes flickered faintly. His eyes were as deep and cold as a lake.

Ji Ling.

On that day, he had already felt like something was wrong with Ji Ling. Back then, he gave him a warning, thinking that the Spiritual Energy he released could destroy that weird item of his once and for all…

Little had he expected that Ji Ling would actually extend his perilous hand to his little junior sister…

“Senior Brother?”

At that moment, Lin Qingxian also saw a skull mark on the back of her neck through the mirror beside Shen Changge’s bed. It was blood-red in color. Her skin in the area around it was seemingly affected as they transformed into many small holes that looked like they were breathing constantly…

“Ah! What is this?!”

There was no way that Lin Qingxian wouldn’t know. Was she being targeted?

Her pretty face turned pale as fear appeared in her big eyes.

A demon?

But when had it…?

The demon in the sect that had turned that disciple into a dried corpse was eying her, too!

Shen Changge glanced at Lin Qingxian and comforted her.

“It’s alright, Junior Sister. You don’t have to worry about it. When you go home tonight, just relax and focus on washing my clothes.”

“But…”

Lin Qingxian wanted to say something.

However, she then saw Shen Changge’s deep and chilling eyes that were like a pool of cold water.

At that moment, her impression of her senior brother underwent a tremendous change and become extremely high!
