Chapter 142: Bai Xiaoyao Wants to Take Another Look
Of course, Luo Wusheng wouldn't be so hasty in renaming the artifact.
This is only the second time he's charging it; it doesn't really prove anything.
I originally planned to improve my favorability by giving Yao Ji gifts later and then see if I can gain her permission to pet her fox body again, and then trying to see if I could complete the charging by doing that'
But he didn't expect to resolve the charging issue so quickly.
However, as a pragmatist, Luo Wusheng is very relieved that one of his trump cards has returned.
At least this way, he has more confidence when facing ordinary early Nascent Soul stage cultivators.
At this moment, Little Yuli on the side has also calmed down the novelty of wearing something new like the white stocking that he gave her for the first time. She blinks her beautiful eyes and looks at Luo Wusheng, moving one of her little feet onto his thigh.
"Luo Lang, there's one more~"
The young girl's sweet voice brings Luo Wusheng back from his wandering thoughts.
Fortunately, his attention was distracted a moment ago, and his restless thoughts have somewhat subsided. Plus, the resistance built up from his previous experiences, he calmly nods now.
In fact, he initially thought Little Yuli might not go well with the white colored silk stocking, but because he didn't have a backup pair of black silk stockings, he could only give her the white ones.
But now, it seems like he underestimated the charm of this world's original protagonist.
Even though she's only wearing one stocking, the milky white color on the young girl's leg doesn't feel out of place at all. It even exudes a touch of pinkish softness that makes one want to take a bite.
Especially the childishness in her gestures and expressions that she made while in this sick state goes perfectly with the white stockings on her plump leg.
With these thoughts, his hand gently lands on Little Yuli's other little foot.
Inside the mansion, in Bai Xiaoyao's room.
The Holy Maiden of the Demon Sect sits at a table illuminated by candles, her chin resting in her hand, her eyes showing a hint of contemplation.
Just last night, her senior brother had left not long ago, and she was waiting for the guest her senior brother had mentioned.
And when she sensed the presence of the so-called guest, Bai Xiaoyao was quite surprised, since It was a girl she wasn't unfamiliar with.
Now then, why would that courtesan's maid come as a guest?'
Bai Xiaoyao gently bites her lower lip.
She indeed didn't expect the so-called guest to be the maid named Xiao Guai but that's not a big issue.
Based on the situation during the day the Demon Artifact Pavilion opened, both the courtesan and her maid were not simple individuals. They might be part of the Red Light District, but they carried secrets that piqued her interest.
Regarding their return to find her senior brother, Bai Xiaoyao was mentally prepared.
After all, her senior brother has become a prominent figure in the city's discussions recently.
Since her senior brother entrusted the matter of settling them to her, she would naturally help him with these minor matters.
She couldn't help it; she's a good junior sister who cares for her senior brother, after all.
However, after informing the maid that her senior brother was not at home and that she didn't know his whereabouts, Bai Xiaoyao overheard the maid muttering to herself.
The content of her muttering was like this: "Hmph, could Lord Luo really be with my sister?"
At that moment, Bai Xiaoyao's mind was filled with inexplicable thoughts.
She had been wondering why only this maid had appeared, while the courtesan named Yao Ji was nowhere to be found. But now, the maid's words hinted at a possibility.
Is my senior brother with that courtesan?'
Bai Xiaoyao recalled the appearance of the courtesan who had been confrontational with her before. Then she remembered the words the courtesan left when she decided to leave.
Could it be that her senior brother had really gone to meet the courtesan privately? Without taking anyone with him, not even the maid who was now in her presence, spending time alone with that originated from that side of the world?
A strange feeling welled up within Bai Xiaoyao.
"No this is just that person's speculation. Since my senior brother said what he did before, he shouldn't be doing something like this"
And even if her senior brother did go to see that courtesan, it was undoubtedly because the courtesan had something special, something that could assist her senior brother's plans in the city or provide valuable information.
Considering her senior brother's reserved nature, he wouldn't have any other intentions right?
Bai Xiaoyao suddenly remembered something.
Just a few nights ago, she had disproven the notion that her senior brother had no interest in women. It was just that, for some reason she wasn't clear about, it was hard to discern this from his outward appearance. It was only after she had carefully dressed herself in a different manner from her usual self that her senior brother had shown some signs of interest.
Thinking about that night, Bai Xiaoyao blushed slightly and recalled her appearance at that time.
Perhaps she would only dress that way to her senior brother.
But on second thought her senior brother did seem somewhat clueless when it came to women around him.
Just like that "intimate friend" she had met before, who had become acquainted with her senior brother because of her exceptional sword skills Although it might not have been apparent even to the person herself, Bai Xiaoyao could easily see that the girl held special feelings for her senior brother.
When Bai Xiaoyao first met Lu Yuliu, she had been reticent even when approached by men. However, when conversing with her senior brother, the words and expressions of that sword sect genius, albeit somewhat awkward, clearly conveyed a sense of intimacy. Even Lu Yuliu, despite being a girl, wasn't as close to her as she was with her senior brother. Bai Xiaoyao was well aware of the reasons behind this.
Her friendship with Lu Yuliu wasn't particularly deep and had a utilitarian beginning. It began with Bai Xiaoyao recognizing that Lu Yuliu's unique constitution would be beneficial for their journey in the Ancient Heavenly Gates, and Lu Yuliu needing the Blood Spirit Jade to save her master. Their friendship was still in its early stages.
Lu Yuliu had reservations about Bai Xiaoyao, a well-known demoness.
However, I'm not sure what happened between her and my senior brother on the Sea-Crossing Boat'
Bai Xiaoyao gently patted her cheek with the hand that had been propping her chin, dispelling her wandering thoughts. She glanced out of the window and noticed a faint light in the night sky.
"Time has passed without me realizing it" She sighed softly.
Her senior brother hadn't returned all night, and she was clueless about his whereabouts. Bai Xiaoyao shook her head, wishing she knew where her senior brother was at that moment. She could have quietly checked on him
As she contemplated this, she suddenly felt a slight dizziness. The dizziness faded quickly, but a look of confusion crossed the young girl's face as a word echoed in her mind.
"Wandering Immortal Inn?"
