Chapter 982: Irreplaceable Intimacy with Jiang Ran (Extra 4)_2

Fan Wubing said,

“Our teacher, he’s still too modest. If he really wanted to write a good couplet, I’m afraid scholars all over the world would be astonished, experiencing a literary dream of the Spring and Autumn periods. Instead of making a name at the Eternal Sea, he chooses to stay at the Eternal Immortal Sect like a retired old man, tsk tsk.”

Luo Qingyao rolled her eyes,

“And you have the nerve to talk! Aren’t you the same, lounging around in the Qiming Realm like a salted fish every day? I invite you to go out and have fun with me, but you’re always so unwilling.”

Fan Wubing put his hands behind his back and walked into the courtyard,

“I’m a big man, how can I face the embarrassment of hanging out with you girls every day.”

Luo Qingyao couldn’t sit still, and every now and then, she’d plan outings with her sisters. Today, they’d be exploring the ancient tombs of mighty beings in the drifting areas of the Eternal Sea, and tomorrow she’d be on Earth watching movies and shopping, truly full of diverse entertainment.

She asked with a forced smile,

“So, when Ye Yixian, Wei Changkong, and Jiang Xuan invite you to hang out, what excuses do you use?”

Fan Wubing was feeling guilty, stammered and said, “No such thing.”

“You think I don’t know? Your excuse is hanging out with us!” Luo Qingyao put her hands on her hips and said angrily, “I say, you aren’t honest at all! Stuck at home all the time, you should meet some friends!”

Fan Wubing rolled his eyes and started playing dumb,

“Why are you getting so nagging, junior sister? We aren’t even married yet, why are you lecturing me like this.”

“Ugh, can’t be bothered with you.” Luo Qingyao waved her hand, “I also promised An An to take her to the Di Yu Star Domain to see the Abyssal Aurora.”

Fan Wubing was on alert,

“So you’re going to the Divine Phoenix Hall to pick her up?”

“Yeah. She’s always hanging around with the eldest senior sister.” Luo Qingyao realized and squinted her eyes with a smile, “Oh, I get it, you’re afraid I’ll talk bad about you in front of her, right.”

“How could that be! What am I afraid of?”

“Then I’ll just report all your recent behaviors truthfully.”

“You wouldn’t dare!” Fan Wubing glared.

Luo Qingyao crossed her arms, laughing, “Why wouldn’t I dare? I’m just reporting the truth. If senior brother doesn’t feel that there’s anything wrong with his actions, what’s there to be afraid of?”

Fan Wubing asserted, “No means no!”

Luo Qingyao rolled her eyes again,

“Senior brother, you’re just like a child, still acting petty.”

How could she not know, senior brother was clearly having a cold war with the eldest sister, a game only children play. And the reason for the cold war was even more childish—he didn’t want to be called a sister’s lackey anymore. As for the eldest sister, it seemed like she was also angry over his disobedience before.

Luo Qingyao couldn’t understand why the first and second people of the Great Thousand Worlds would bicker over such trivial matters—

Both waiting for the other to reach out first.

“Sigh, are these really the first and second of our Great Thousand?” Luo Qingyao looked worried, “I’m really concerned for the future of the Great Thousand Worlds.”

Fan Wubing, annoyed, said, “If you’re going to find An An, then go!”

Luo Qingyao patted Fan Wubing’s head and laughed,

“Little Wubing, stay home like a good boy, and when I come back, I’ll buy you candy.”

With that, she ran off, leaving Fan Wubing in the Orchid Garden, fuming. He felt Luo Qingyao was increasingly disrespectful towards him as a senior brother, when she used to obey his every word like a little tail, always compliant. Now she’s completely changed! Not only does she lack the awareness of being a junior sister, she’s even starting to control him!

He definitely needed to teach her a lesson and reestablish his authority as a senior brother!

But after pondering for a while, Fan Wubing realized, other than getting her to beg for mercy in bed, she never listened at any other time!

He absolutely couldn’t bring himself to actually hit her.

Fan Wubing certainly didn’t want to become a domestic violence man.

While he was brooding, his consciousness was stirred. It was Jiang Ran reaching out.

He immediately felt a surge of joy.

It was only later that he realized, Jiang Ran was surprisingly reserved, rarely taking the initiative to contact him. But every time he visited her, she was overjoyed. When it came to handling their intimate relationship, she was quite clumsy.

Jiang Ran’s clumsiness was different from Fu Manman’s. Fu Manman was like having a thorn in her heart; if she didn’t remove it, she couldn’t relax, and being with her created an unremovable invisible pressure.

Jiang Ran was clumsy in the more conventional sense. In her earlier life, she had been busy with national affairs for the Shangjing Family Country, leaving no room for forging intimate relationships, with Si Jiuyou being her only friend. After becoming the Slaughter Demon Lord, it was even less likely to establish genuine emotional connections, as those around her were just her puppets.

While she could easily control someone’s emotions, to genuinely engage with others, she would first ask, what is genuine engagement?

She truly didn’t understand how to establish a pure intimate relationship.

Whenever Fan Wubing casually whispered sweet nothings, she’d be dumbstruck for a while, let alone talk of consummating the relationship. He feared that at the moment of intimacy, Jiang Ran would stiffen up like a puppet.

Truly an instance of that saying, she’s wooden as ever.

So, being contacted proactively, Fan Wubing was quite pleasantly surprised. He managed to control his emotion and asked,

“What’s up, Eldest Princess?”

Jiang Ran chuckled, “If you’re going to call me Eldest Princess, then I ought to call you the great, supreme insight to the mysteries…”

“Stop, stop!” The moment Fan Wubing heard this title, he felt a headache coming on, “You must’ve learned bad things from Pei Weiyi!”

Jiang Ran smiled, “Xiaopei came to see me the other day to discuss matters regarding the Void Realm.”

“Oh? So, are you contacting me about the Void Realm too?”
