Chapter 302: Don't Tell Sister Yuliu, Okay?~
As a talented demoness, Bai Xiaoyao could usually conceal her emotions well in most situations.
For example, right now, she used another topic to cleverly mask the trace of worry lingering in her eyes.
Although she had managed to deduce her mysterious master's involvement through various clues, this realization only deepened her concerns about her senior brother's predicament.
It was clear that her senior brother wasn't entirely aware of their master's plans; otherwise, he wouldn't have treated that bald coachman as an enemy after some deliberation…
Nor would he have remained oblivious to their master secretly controlling everything from behind the scenes.
However, despite her worries, Bai Xiaoyao had no intention of probing further into the matter.
She had decided on this even before coming here tonight.
With her capabilities, the best she could do was gather useful information and hand it over to her senior brother. Beyond that, she wouldn't intervene.
She trusted her senior brother to make the right judgments and handle things accordingly.
As long as it wasn't about romantic matters, she trusted him completely.
Since she had now conveyed the final bits of information to him, this matter was effectively settled.
Taking advantage of the conversation as a buffer, she had also fully adjusted her state of mind.
Indeed, prioritizing serious matters still seemed more important at this moment.
With that, the demoness smiled charmingly, her lips parting slightly.
"Senior Brother was pretending to be unfamiliar with her, wasn't he?"
<+>
"Cough… explaining my relationship with her might take some time…"
Luo Wusheng felt his scalp tingle.
Without a doubt, he had been set up by the Sword Fairy he once considered an ally.
'What exactly did Lu Yuliu write in her letters to this demoness!?'
Not knowing the details put him at risk of stepping on landmines and exposing himself, no matter what he said now…
At that moment, however, the petite foot tugging at his robe released its grip, switching to drawing playful little circles on his chest instead.
"Then why don't I try guessing, Senior Brother~?" Bai Xiaoyao said with a perfect curve to her lips.
"First, Senior Brother met her on the Sea-Crossing Boat. Based on what you said earlier, you deliberately used the Blood Spirit Jade to lock onto Lu Yuliu and approached her yourself."
"But considering she secretly infiltrated the Demon Sect with me and couldn't possibly not recognize my senior brother, whom I had specifically greeted beforehand, the slightly unfamiliar behavior she displayed initially doesn't seem too out of place."
"And although she said her bond with you deepened through a unique communication method, it's unlikely she would have entrusted you with something she didn't even give me unless something significant happened on that Sea-Crossing Boat…"
Her captivating eyes locked with Luo Wusheng's wandering gaze.
His heart raced, unsure if it was due to nervousness or the ticklish sensation from his junior sister teasing little foot movements.
Holding his breath, he heard Bai Xiaoyao's melodious voice draw a conclusion.
"So, during the Sea-Crossing Boat trip, Lu Yuliu must have entered the same state she showed back at the Wandering Immortal Inn… Am I right, Senior Brother?"
"Hmm, judging by your reaction, it seems I've guessed correctly~"
Two delicate feet now rested on Luo Wusheng's lap.
He looked up at the ceiling, resigned.
I tried. It's over.
Forget Lu Yuliu's issues; the demoness is still the demoness after all… With deduction skills like this, she could become a detective rivaling that famous Conan kid if she wanted to.
Lu Yuliu never stood a chance.
"Senior Brother tacitly admits it, then~ So that means when you reunited with her at the Demon Artifact Pavilion's opening ceremony, you deliberately kept some distance from her because of what happened on the Sea-Crossing Boat— Oh!"
Bai Xiaoyao's words trailed off as she shivered slightly, her fair cheeks flushing crimson.
Luo Wusheng had placed his hand on her sensitive foot.
Seeing his move work, the Demon Sect's Holy Saint quickly followed up with a gentle smile.
"As expected of my clever junior sister. I wasn't sure how to explain things earlier, but you've already figured it all out…"
"By the way, I just noticed that there's still some residual effect on your foot from earlier. Let me help you clear it away first!"
Time to salvage Lu Yuliu's dignity as much as possible.
Ah, having such a smart junior sister can be both a blessing and a headache… Maybe I should groom her into my strategist in the future?
But for now, the immediate situation needs resolving.
That said… heh heh, my little demoness's foot is so soft, so fragrant, and feels amazing to touch… Oh no, this is becoming addictive again.
Relishing the feel of her slender foot, which was slightly different yet equally mesmerizing compared to his dearest wife's, Luo Wusheng grew more adept in his kneading techniques.
"Senior Brother, wait… Ah! No… it tickles…"
<+>
By the time Bai Xiaoyao got up from the bed, her face was still flushed, and fine beads of fragrant sweat clung to her forehead.
Her chest rose and fell with each breath.
"You really don't know how to be gentle, Senior Brother…"
Although her voice carried a hint of reproach, her slightly trembling tone sounded more like a seductive tease.
"Well, forget it. I understand your intentions, Senior Brother… It's late. Let's end it here for tonight."
Luo Wusheng, who didn't expect to hide his thoughts from this demoness, scratched his head.
To his surprise, the petite girl who seemed ready to leave suddenly extended her hand toward him.
Confused, he looked at her questioningly.
"The gift Senior Brother gave me… You're not planning to keep it after I've worn it, are you?"
The little demoness, barefoot on the ground, smiled sweetly, her expression intentionally mischievous as she looked at him.
"That won't do~ Unless, of course, Senior Brother gives me another pair? I wouldn't mind wearing them a bit longer before handing them back~"
Luo Wusheng's mouth twitched hard.
For the last time, he didn't have that kind of fetish!
With a playful flick to her forehead, he quipped, "You're still as cheeky as ever… Am I that kind of person?"
He stood up, retrieved an empty wooden box from his storage pouch, and carefully placed the black silk accessory from earlier inside.
Because it hadn't been treated, the item retained a residual tingling effect, which would take some time to dissipate.
After ensuring the box wouldn't conduct any sensations, he handed it to Bai Xiaoyao, who stowed it in her storage pouch with a smile.
Glancing at her gold-trimmed white boots on the floor, she hesitated briefly before picking them up by hand.
"Well then, I'll take my leave now~"
"Oh, and Senior Brother… Be sure not to tell Sister Yuliu about what happened tonight, okay~?"
Her white dress fluttered as she left, leaving Luo Wusheng with a heart-stirring image of her retreating behind.
