Li Mei couldn't help but become stunned at his sudden question; however, she didn't delay and answered.
"When I was in the orphanage, our lives were bitter, and we had to fight for every grain of food with outsiders. Fortunately, there was a big sister who took care of me and said if I could become a servant in the sect, I would be able to help everyone in the orphanage."
"Later she also arranged for me to get in the sect; it's just that I was discovered to have talent and was taken as a disciple by the master" she explained as emotions flashed through her eyes.
"So that's why you decided," Ye Chen nodded with an understanding look while his eyes flashed coldly.
How could he not see that she was tricked by her so-called big sister?
This wasn't the world where law ruled over but cultivators; it could be imagined how bad her life would be if she really fell into the hands of someone.
However, he didn't point this out and continued asking about her life in the orphanage.
Li Mei was nervous at the thought of sleeping with him, so she was happy to do something else and started to talk about her life.
It's just that she was too focused on telling him and forgot that her senior brother wasn't someone she could trust in.
'Xiao Mei, don't blame me; you are just too easy to bully.' Ye Chen thought in his heart as he closed upon her.
Then, without hesitation, he extended his claws and took her into an embrace.
Li Mei was still telling him about her life, so it took a moment for her to realize what had happened, and soon she panicked.
"S-senior brother! Y-you promised not to do anything weird!" She said with a fearful look as she glanced at him.
"Xiao Mei I did promise not to kiss you and do anything weird, but I didn't say anything about hugging you while sleeping, right?" Ye Chen replied with a carefree look as he moved under the same quilt.
Li Mei had changed her outfit into a simple and light one, so she was able to feel his masculine body clearly, which made her face redden with embarrassment.
"Senior brother, that's not fair!" she complained with a sulky and tearful look.
Watching her like this, Ye Chen laughed lightly and pinched her cheeks.
"My little junior sister, there is nothing in this world that is fair. Also, isn't it your fault for being naive and getting tricked by me? It means I am innocent here," he stated with a righteous look.
"Humph, like, I would believe you." Li Mei snorted and turned her head away with a pout.
She knew there was no escape from his clutches, so she gave up on struggling.
'I Li Mei had fallen into the hands of a bad wolf,' she thought sulkily and closed her eyes.
Of course, she was just pretending to sleep, hoping he would leave her alone.
But she was wrong, as Ye Chen didn't have any intention of letting her go.
At first he wasn't planning on doing anything, but after hearing about her life at the orphanage, he changed his mind.
"Xiao Mei, you know it's very easy to bully and trick you," he whispered softly as he ruffled her hair.
Hearing him Li Mei's eyelids twitched a little; however, she kept on pretending to be asleep, even putting a naive expression on her face.
Seeing her like this, Ye Chen felt an urge to bully her, but he didn't do anything except pinching her flushed red cheeks.
After this, he laid his head down beside her and tightened his embrace.
With him not saying anything again, the room became silent, and a faint, anxious heartbeat was heard clearly.
It belonged to Li Mei, who was thinking about what would happen if he took things further.
But even after a few minutes, nothing happened, which made her feel relieved.
'Senior brother does know how to make me anxious,' she thought with a pout and finally relaxed.
Although she trusted that he wouldn't do anything, his actions really said otherwise.
Moreover, she didn't know anything about love; all she had heard was some gossip and only had a slight idea of what to do; in detail, she knew nothing about it.
Thinking of this, her heart once again sped up, and soon she lost herself in thoughts before falling asleep.
Just like this, the long day finally came to an end.
The next day nothing special happened except Li Mei waking up with an embarrassed look and hurrying away to change after getting freed from Ye Chen's claws.
As for Ye Chen, he was sitting on the bed while looking at his system panel.
"Ten earth-grade fishing chances, let's see what my luck is," he muttered, and without hesitation, he pressed the fish all button.
[Ding! The host has used ten Earth-grade fishing chances!]
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully fishing the following items:
A normal stone, Tier-1 qi gathering pill bottle, hundred low-grade spirit stones, a normal stone, some normal stones, a black normal stone, Tier-3 ginseng, Earth-grade movement technique, Earth-grade sword technique, and some black stones.]
The cold female voice rang in his head, making Ye Chen a little speechless.
One had to know that Earth-grade fishing cost 10 million system points, which meant the ten Erath-grade fishing chances were equivalent to 100 million points.
Although he wasn't hoping for every item to be an earth grade, he was at least hoping that system would fish something useful, but it gave stones five times.
That was a total of fifty million coins.
'Don't tell me the system is scamming me,' he thought, shaking his head before collecting all the items that appeared in front of him.
He even collected the useless stones, as there was no way to explain their appearance to his cute junior sister.
