She forcefully kissed her nemesis before dying, and her character collapsed after being reborn.

Chapter 54 The Rebellious Phase Has Arrived

For several days in a row, my junior brother's voice was very hoarse.

The past two weeks have passed.

Things have finally returned to normal.

But I don't know if it's a side effect of my hoarse voice.

Xu Nian felt that her junior brother was becoming less and less talkative.

It looks like a piece of wood.

A piece of wood devoid of emotion.

She looks dazed and blushes easily.

It’s weird.

It's almost the end of the month, the day my junior brother told me at the market that his karmic fire was about to flare up.

Xu Nian had a headache and was also very worried.

Wu Qinghuan was already consumed by karmic fire and tormented by desires.

This time, he absorbed so much poison gas for himself.

Both have the effect of arousing desire.

With both factors combined, the situation could become even more dangerous.

But Wu Qinghuan didn't seem worried about it.

Inside the small house, Xu Nian looked at Wu Qinghuan with a solemn expression.

"Junior brother, it's almost the end of the month, the day your karmic fire will backfire. Do you have any good ways to deal with it? If it's still like before, can you suppress it?"

"As before" refers to the two bathing together in the medicinal liquid.

Using Xu Nian's physique, they worked together with Wu Qinghuan to suppress the karmic fire.

The junior brother shook his head and didn't say anything.

Get up and leave.

Xu Nian frowned.

That brat hasn't been cultivating properly lately.

He would run to his third senior sister's place whenever he had a chance.

If I'm not mistaken, it might just be teenage infatuation.

He's taken a liking to the third senior sister.

He always went to roast sweet potatoes for his senior.

Although I always bring a few home after each baking session.

But Xu Nian still felt a little...uncomfortable?

I don't know what that feeling is like.

I feel like my little tagalong has run away and is no longer sticking to me.

"You stop!"

Xu Nian grabbed his hand with a serious expression.

My junior brother's wrists were fair and slender.

Exquisite and small.

Xu Nian could grasp it firmly in her hand with a single squeeze.

“We’re talking about serious matters. Why are you leaving? This is a very serious matter! What if you are truly consumed by the karmic fire and unable to suppress it, eventually becoming a slave to your desires?”

"It's fine."

Wu Qinghuan muttered softly.

The voice was no longer hoarse, but it still sounded a little off.

"Nothing wrong? Do you have some trump card up your sleeve?"

"Hmm..." Wu Qinghuan hesitated, glancing at Xu Nian, her face gradually turning red. "It's okay..."

Okay, I'll say the same thing again.

It was repeated once.

But what's the point?

He didn't explain, and simply turned his face away from Xu Nian.

Her ears turned bright red.

Xu Nianren was stunned.

What did I say that made you blush?

I did nothing and said nothing.

It's just about how to deal with your karmic fire.

And then you started blushing?

What kind of blushing holy body is this?

He looked down at Wu Qinghuan's wrist, which he had pinched red, and sighed.

I let go of him.

“Qinghuan, it’s not that your senior brother is bothering you. You said before that you were being attacked by karmic fire and that the karmic fire would erupt at the end of the month, but now you’re not making any preparations. How are you going to deal with this?”

"Karmic fire...actually..."

Wu Qinghuan raised her hand, her slender fingers gently brushing a strand of hair behind her ear.

Her fair and delicate ears were exposed.

My ears are a bit red now, almost bleeding.

"Actually, we've already... resolved... a lot... well... we've just suppressed some things, and in the short term... there shouldn't be... much of an impact... um..."

He spoke haltingly.

They seemed very embarrassed.

For some reason, he kept turning his face away from Xu Nian.

Xu Nian frowned.

She squinted and scrutinized him carefully.

After watching for a while, I breathed a sigh of relief.

Although I don't know how my junior brother solved it, judging from the way he's talking now, he doesn't seem to be lying.

"Is it really resolved? There's no need to worry for a while?"

The junior brother didn't say anything.

Just stand there.

Xu Nian wasn't sure if it was just her imagination, but she always felt that her junior brother was staring at her mouth all the time.

What is this brat doing?

She wouldn't be trying to sneak up on me and kiss me when I'm not looking, would she?

Xu Nian was speechless.

Somewhat funny.

What are you thinking? Junior brother may have a bad temper and be a bit cunning.

But it wasn't that bad.

They wouldn't do such a thing.

"I...I'm leaving."

Wu Qinghuan turned and left.

But after taking a step forward, he stopped.

He found himself captured by Xu Nian again.

"Senior brother, what are you doing...?"

The junior's voice was a little soft, and it got softer and softer.

Xu Nian looked at him intently.

Take a deep breath and let it out slowly.

He looked very serious.

When Wu Qinghuan saw his expression, she felt her heart start pounding.

It looked like it was about to jump out of its throat.

Her complexion, which had recovered considerably, began to turn red again.

What did he want to say?

It can't be...

Wu Qinghuan seemed to have thought of something, and her pupils suddenly contracted.

A bad feeling crept into my mind.

"There's something I've wanted to tell you for a long time..."

"No...no! I won't listen!" Wu Qinghuan began to struggle.

Ok?

Why such a strong reaction?

Xu Nian was a little confused.

Is your rebellious phase starting?

That shouldn't be the case; he was just an obedient and well-behaved junior brother a moment ago.

Why do I look like a wild child now?

"This is very important. I was hesitant to tell you, but seeing how you are now, I've decided it's better to tell you."

Very important thing?

How important?

Wu Qinghuan's heart was beating faster and faster.

Suddenly it stopped moving.

It's as if I'm frozen in place.

Standing still, holding my breath, waiting for something.

Xu Nian said, "Junior brother, there is no possibility between you two. Don't make any more useless efforts."

"Um…?"

Wu Qinghuan blinked her eyes.

He slowly tilted his head.

He stared blankly at Xu Nian.

There's no possibility between the two of you.

Who are the two of them?

By myself, and with whom?

Isn't it with him?

So, he wasn't talking about himself and him?

Wu Qinghuan frowned.

I was somewhat disappointed, but also relieved.

He immediately began to wonder, so did the rogue senior brother think he had no hope with anyone?

On the mountain, it was just me, him, and my senior sister.

Wait, wait a minute, could it be that...

"Senior brother is talking about... me and Senior Sister Qiuyu?" Wu Qinghuan's expression was strange.

Xu Nian nodded seriously, "Yes, you two... Senior brother will be frank, the two of you are not suitable."

"We're not a good match?"

Wu Qinghuan was dumbfounded.

What, what is this?

For a moment, the expression on his face was complex and extremely interesting.

Some even broke down.

"You..." Wu Qinghuan looked at Xu Nian, her face inexplicably turning red, her eyes filled with shame and indignation, "Xu Nian, I won't bring you roasted sweet potatoes anymore!"

The junior apprentice started making threats.

Xu Nian sighed.

Sure enough, poor junior brother, troubled by love.

It was exactly what I thought.

This brat has fallen for Third Senior Sister.

Admittedly, the third senior sister is simple-minded and a bit stingy, but she loves her junior brother very much.

I've done what a senior student should do.

As for himself, Wu Qinghuan, this junior brother, was somewhat lacking in love.

They're so clingy even when they're with me.

His third senior sister treated him so well, so naturally, he would happily follow her at the slightest beckoning of his finger.

Xu Nian sighed.

What a great junior brother he was, and now he's become a simp.

He was completely oblivious to Wu Qinghuan's increasingly ashamed and indignant expression.

"Xu Nian! You're a complete idiot! You're such a big idiot!"

Wu Qinghuan angrily cursed.

He then broke free from Xu Nian's grasp.

He ran off in a flash, without even looking back.

Xu Nian sighed.

What a good junior brother! But once he went through his rebellious phase, he turned his back on everyone and didn't even recognize his senior brother anymore.

Moreover, he addressed his senior brother by his given name, showing no respect and lacking manners.

They don't even call me "senior brother" anymore.

Junior brother, oh junior brother!

Women! They're just stumbling blocks!

Women! They'll only slow us down the speed at which we draw our swords!

When will you understand this principle?

Poor junior brother, he was completely manipulated by his third senior sister.

Xu Nian sighed deeply.
