The encounter with the frail little girl was still taking place, but my brain worked like a super artificial intelligence chip.
'Look, the appearance would never blind me; it's only meat put in bones for me'
Jin continued his explanation.
'I'm not that stupid to not listen to you; I know that it would bring lots of trouble that might bite my back in the future, but you seem to forget that I rarely do any fruitless, unnecessary actions; she's a double-headed sword, an opportunity ready to be exploited, the cunning villain would never take a trust toward me completely, but adding her to the equation, serves as a critical weakness in the villain's side, even more than my side, assessing the gains and losses, it's a better bargain, my survival is the most important thing for me.'
'Exactly, I'm not going to lie and deny the protective emotions I faintly feel toward her; after all, I never saw in my life a kid as miserable and unfortunate as this little girl. however, from my observation, the brat villain cares a lot about his sister; I obviously would not miss this golden chance.'
'That's even more of a reason to curry favor with her. If I managed to enter the safe line, I would not only gain a diamond tight but also one more golden tight in the villain.'
'Hmph! Stop underestimating my capabilities; I only have my wits, as my last and only asset; I'm very aware of that fact.'
The planful mental conversation lasted a few seconds; it was so quick, it didn't even seem like jin was painstakingly arguing inside of his head.
Jin felt a chilling natural radiating coming from the twelve years old girl's body, just like a cat cornered with no resolve,
'My back is shivering! This pair of siblings are simply monsters.'
My legs kept getting closer under the girl succubus gaze; while she sharply inspected every corner of my pupils;
I let out a warm, friendly smile and said, "Hi, Da Xia, my name is Jin dan, nice to meet you both,"
The villain's eyes shined after hearing my last name, like his brain automatically made a mental note specifically to remember this last name.
Yet, I was already two steps forward, purposely faking my name, in fear of involving my family in my bizarre dangerous adventures, especially from this devilish pair of siblings in case this quest backfired.
She kept the awkward eye contact alive while
Bending her head expressionlessly, letting a predatory air hit my soul, hence her casual gaze made me feel like a bug looking at a thirsty Queen spider, ready to get devoured.
'It seems like the system's excessive warnings aren't entirely for show; I should be cautious when trying to rehabilitate this broken demon.'
She didn't speak to me but muttered words toward her brother in a soft but sinister way, "A guest? We never have guests,"
Dia Chun turned his head and answered, "He will help us while we help him; it's better to have a capable companion in the wild," surprisingly even with his rough bringings, the villain seems very communal.
He added, "You can call him Jun,"
A maniacal grin slowly formed on her face, and she said, "Nice to meet you, Jin,"
The cuteness of the little girl yet again made my heart flutter; brotherly emotions surged again, possibly, because, in my first life, I had a little sister too, my brotherly love rebirthed again.
Both the kid's stomach curled, making loud starvation noises;
The girl said, "Brother, did you manage to catch something today?"
He frowned in defeat and replied, "Not yet, but I'm working on it; just go sleep. I will take care of everything,"
She grabbed her little stomach, not rendering any expression of displeasure, and weakly sat down leaning on the giant boulder.
'Holy shit! My heart about to seep; how could that bastard author be so heartless.'
I instantly said, "Let's go hunting Da Chun; I will help,"
He looked at me and nodded his head, leaving the girl trying to lay down on the cold surface.
I glanced back at the unfortunate girl, feeling bad, I told Chun, "Wait here; I'll join you right away,"
I sprinted to the forest, wondering why these kids would not even make a comfortable bed; «I know we are in the xianxia world where you could break all your bones, but still could survive, but I can't live like this, comfortable and simple is my main mojo in life.»
I collected woods, smoothing them up with my most useful skill; Phoenix skin; it wasn't an easy task to find suitable thin trees to make the bed; however, I tried my best to obtain at least straight ones, but the problem I faced is how to rope them in the shape of a flat surface; I'm not jack sparrow, no way in hell I would dare to use my precious hair.
'System, be useful and give me robes.'
"Pf!" I whimpered.
However, drifting my gaze around, I found a large whitish tree with some long sausage-shaped leaves, 'Hehe! This will work!'
I tied up the tree trunks and loaded the crooked bed with soft boughs, rushes, and grass. I receded back a little, putting my hands in my wastes, feeling proud about my magnificent work.
'Shut up, you hateful system!'
I got back, lifting the bed, under the confused eyes of the brat villain, 'Hehehe! Yes, even you can't imagine how much genius and creative this young master can be!'
<...>
I can hear the disgusting system sneers on my head. But I was too happy showing the bed to the villain, acting like a total salesperson.
"Look! This is called the heavenly spinal bed; it can massage your back while you deep Asleep, with almost guaranteed sweet dreams, and total comfortable recent made technology," I proudly explained to the surprised tyrant.
The bed itself wasn't half bad; it just looked straight from hell, or even something from satan catalogue, with the black, burned trunks caused by my cultivation technique, and the jagged leaves.
I left the startled boy and leisurely went to talk to the sickly girl, "You can't sleep on the ground; it's cold and dangerous,"
She got perplexed as imaginary question marks appeared above her head.
I expanded, "here I made you a bed!"
I showed her my art piece and declared, "No more sleepless nights from now on,"
If it's any human being with their right minds, they would instantly got terrified by the demonic bed, but this twisted girl, completely got delighted by the hellish invention.
I heard her shyly speak to me for the second time, "Is that for me?"
I laughed even more,"hehehe! Yes! The best bed in the seven planes, the one and only heavenly spinal bed, is all for you to use;"
I was going to brag more, but the system instructed me to shut up.
'Hmph! Such a degrading system, you lag the vision and keen eye for art!'
She seems happy, which made my mood soar with proudful thoughts, 'Such a girl who can actually see the dedication behind the bed! She deserves to have me as a big brother.'
I put the bed beside the girl and lightly clapped my hands, "Here here, try it please,"
She slowly stood up and laid back on the bed before softly saying, "T-thank you jun, I never received a gift, I-i like it,"
'Hehe! You heard that bastard!'
<....>
Once she settled down in the bed, I turned my head and signaled Chun to head out, so we can start hunting.
