As time passed, the sun slowly set and became an orange-red ball hung in the sky.
Unbeknownst to her, Qian Renxue had already settled Hu Liena's soft body onto her lap, holding her close.
She began to understand why Bibi Dong had been so gentle with Hu Liena in the past.
The warm, fragrant, and soft little body was indeed addicting!
Hu Liena, nestled in Qian Renxue's embrace, found the fragrant and soft embrace very comfortable.
However, the warmth and gentle rub of the hand against her clothes and belly were too excessive.
No one had ever been so intimate with her before.
"Miss Xue..."
Hu Liena's little finger poked at the book, her face flushed and showing discomfort.
She had already asked many questions.
Hearing the timid noise, Qian Renxue gently held Hu Liena tighter and looked at the book.
After reading the content, she raised an eyebrow.
"You don't understand this? You're not playing with me, are you?"
Although Qian Renxue felt a certain satisfaction seeing Hu Liena's naive and stupid appearance, it was went too much.
Qian Renxue thought that this fox spirit might be deliberately trying to please her to win her favor and then get close to Qian Renjue.
"No, no, I really don't understand."
Hearing Qian Renxue's suspicious tone, Hu Liena hurriedly explained in a low voice.
"Hmph!"
Qian Renxue snorted softly.
She gently rubbed Hu Liena's chubby belly.
Muttering, she said, "I really don't know why my mom accepted you as a disciple."
Hu Liena's delicate face fell slightly, biting her lip in grievance.
She whispered, "Miss Xue, don't worry. I will definitely work hard."
"Thats how it should be."
Qian Renxue's tone softened as she moved her hand away from Hu Liena.
Seeing Hu Liena's lowered head and submissive demeanor, Qian Renxue thought she might be overthinking it.
Hu Liena was just a child after all.
"Remember, battles between soul masters are not just about soul power and the number of soul skills."
Qian Renxue picked up the book, about to give Hu Liena a detailed explanation when a voice interrupted her.
"Sister, Nana."
"Jue."
Qian Renxue turned to see Qian Renjue, her eyes brightening and her voice softening.
"How are you? Did you wake up?"
"Brother."
Hu Liena called softly.
In front of Qian Renxue, she could only watch eagerly, not daring to act recklessly.
"I'm awake."
Qian Renjue walked out of the house with a straight posture, smiling and nodding at Hu Liena.
"By the way, how did you fall asleep while I was taking a bath?"
Qian Renxue looked at Qian Renjue with a hint of reproach.
Qian Renjue stretched his arms and chuckled awkwardly, "Uh, I didn't sleep well last night."
"Didn't sleep well? Was it because of that rabbit again?"
Qian Renxue furrowed her brow and looked at the corner of the courtyard where the soft-boned rabbit rested, her eyes flashed with coldness.
The soft-boned rabbit shivered and quickly raised its front paws to defend itself.
(It's not Xiao Wu! Xiao Wu isn't running around anymore.)
At the same time, it glanced at Qian Renjue, as if urging him to explain.
(Hurry up and say it's not Xiao Wu!)
Qian Renjue chuckled and shook his head.
"It's not, elder sister. I'm just not used to it."
"Not used to it?"
Qian Renxue was taken aback.
Then her face softened, a charming smile appearing at the corners of her lips.
Looking at Qian Renjue's eyes with a hint of apology, she said softly, "You'll get used to it eventually."
"Hmm, I will."
Qian Renjue nodded slightly and smiled as he sat at the table.
"…"
Qian Renxue pursed her lips helplessly.
She herself was not used to it either.
But as an elder sister, and more importantly for her family, she had to do something.
Change the ultimate fate of the Spirit Hall.
Once everything was settled, she could spend more time for Qian Renjue.
"Jue, have some water."
Lost in thought, Qian Renxue smiled gently, setting the book aside and pouring a cup of warm tea for Qian Renjue.
"Thanks, sister."
Qian Renjue thanked her.
He looked at Hu Liena, who was sitting in Qian Renxue's lap, looking eagerly at him.
He reached out and pinched her tender cheek.
"Brother!"
Hu Liena's pretty face quivered as she gently rubbed Qian Renjue's palm.
"Did you enjoy the book?"
Qian Renjue asked with a smile.
"Y-yes, Miss Xue taught very carefully."
Under Qian Renxue's watchful gaze, Hu Liena dared not say otherwise.
"That's good."
Qian Renjue touched Hu Liena's tear-streaked face.
He gently comforted her for a moment and said nothing more.
He trusted his sister;
With Qian Renxue's personality, she wouldn't act unreasonable.
Hu Liena's face was flushed, her eyes showing fear as she looked at Qian Renxue.
But Qian Renxue remained calm and did not pay her any mind.
Even if Qian Renjue knew that she made Hu Liena cry, will it change anything?
It wouldn't affect their sibling relationship in the slightest.
That was Qian Renxue's confidence.
Qian Renjue withdrew his hand and looked at the setting sun.
He smiled and suggested, "Sister, how about we go shopping?"
"Sure."
Qian Renxue nodded.
Qian Renjue reached out and ruffled Hu Liena's hair.
Smiling, he added, "Let's relax and buy Nana some new clothes."
"Alright."
Qian Renxue agreed without hesitation.
After all, as a disciple of the Pope, it was indeed not acceptable to dress too shabby.
Hu Liena was stunned, her eyes glistening with tears.
Pouting, she said in a delicate voice, "Thank you, senior brother, thank you, Miss Xue."
"Haha, let's go."
Qian Renjue laughed, giving Hu Liena's nose a playful scratch as he stood up.
"Mm."
Qian Renxue set Hu Liena down, took her hand, and then linked arms with Qian Renjue.
The three of them walked down the mountain, followed by the pink soft-boned rabbit hopping along behind.
Hearing the cheerful conversation between Qian Renxue and her brother, Hu Liena followed closely, holding tightly to Qian Renxue's soft hand.
This feeling was also very pleasant.
At the right moment, a system voice in Qian Renjue's mind chimed in, rewarding him with several hundred points.
...
"Nana, brother thinks this set is also nice."
"Ah— Brother!"
"Jue! Why are you so impatient? One set at a time. Let me help her put it on first."
"Got it, sister."
"And don't pass clothes through the curtain suddenly; this is a female fitting room."
"Sister, I only put my hand through."
"That's still not allowed!"
"Huh?!"
Qian Renjue, facing away from the fitting room, helplessly removed the little skirt that had fallen on his head.
Around him, two or three attendants stifled their laughter behind their hands.
...
After shopping and buying clothes, the three of them sat in Bibi Dong's courtyard, waiting for dinner.
At this point, Hu Liena had already changed into a new, elegant dress.
She sat daintily at the table, like a delicate porcelain doll.
Next to her was a package.
It contained clothes for Xie Yue, chosen by Qian Renjue based on Hu Liena's measurements.
Qian Renjue, carrying hot soup, ran out from the kitchen.
"Sister, Nana, dinner is ready!"
"Jue, don't run so fast; there are still some ingredients to add!"
Bibi Dong quickly followed from inside.
