41: Dangerous ideas
Xiao Linger looked at Li Daoxuan with a face full of reluctance, and although Xiao Binger didn't speak, her expression clearly showed her reluctance.
Li Daoxuan subconsciously reached out and rubbed Xiao Linger's head, giving her a head pat.
"I'm not leaving for good, and besides, I'm not leaving right now."
"I still need to prepare some things before I can leave!"
"Really? That's great!"
Li Daoxuan let them choose any guest room they liked, and after they were settled, Li Daoxuan returned to his own room.
Today was another great harvest; the reputation of Wanbao Pavilion had already spread, and its fame in Luo City was absolutely resounding.
Many Cultivators even called their friends to come and purchase Spirit Treasures and Spirit Pills!
Li Daoxuan collected most of the Materials in the warehouse, deciding to refine another batch of ammunition and Spiritual Artifacts.
On the other side, Xiao Linger, who had chosen her room, didn't stay there but instead slipped directly into her sister's room.
"Ling'er, why are you here? Is something wrong?"
"Sister! I can't sleep!"
"If you can't sleep, then Cultivate properly!"
Cultivators at the Foundation Establishment Stage no longer needed to be like ordinary people; occasionally staying up late or skipping meals was not a problem.
But Xiao Linger was a bit lively, full of energy, and didn't want to Cultivate even when she couldn't sleep.
"Cultivating is too tiring!"
"Furthermore, we have already reached the Peak of Foundation Establishment, and our cultivation has entered a Bottleneck; without better Cultivation Techniques and Cultivation resources, it will be difficult to Breakthrough!"
Xiao Linger couldn't help but complain a few times.
Xiao Binger had intended to be serious and urge her sister to Cultivate, but she couldn't bring herself to scold her. As for the family vendetta, she would handle it; her sister only needed to be carefree and happy.
This time, the two of them, uncharacteristically, didn't Cultivate. Lying on the spacious and comfortable large bed, Xiao Linger was still restless, extending her slender arm to hug her sister.
"Xiao Linger! What are your hands doing? Behave yourself!"
"Hehe~ Isn't this just wanting to get closer to Big Sister! It's not like I haven't touched you before."
"At worst, I'll let you touch me too."
Xiao Binger: "......"
She really had no way to deal with this girl.
"Sister, you said Li Dage not only saved us but also gave us our freedom. How should we repay him?"
Xiao Binger thought for a moment and said, "Help him manage Wanbao Pavilion well!"
"Sister! You don't know how good Wanbao Pavilion's business is. I think anyone could manage it well."
"I think Li Dage is more like finding an excuse to help us by making us Shopkeepers."
Xiao Binger: "Then what should we do?"
"We are virtually penniless now; we can't help him with anything at all!"
Xiao Linger thought of something, and her small face suddenly turned red.
Xiao Binger sensed her sister's thoughts, and her ice-cold face suddenly melted, instantly turning crimson.
"Xiao Linger, what on earth are you thinking, you girl? How could you think such a thing!"
"Hmph! You're scolding me, but haven't you also been tempted?"
Xiao Binger sat up directly and denied, "No! I haven't! I'm not!"
Xiao Linger smiled slyly and said, "Sister, you forgot that we are connected by heart. How could I not know what you're thinking?"
Xiao Binger: "......"
Seeing her sister not speak, Xiao Linger muttered to herself:
"Isn't that what the storybooks say?"
"A life-saving grace, with no way to repay, can only be repaid by pledging oneself!"
"I think Li Dage is a good person, and he has indeed saved our lives. It's not impossible for us to pledge ourselves to him, is it?"
Xiao Binger could no longer hold back and shouted, "Ah! Xiao Linger, shut up!"
"What kind of random things do you usually read? What's in your head?"
"Don't say another word!"
Xiao Linger didn't mind, hugging her sister and giggling, "Actually, you have this thought too, don't you!"
Xiao Binger: "......"
"Good sister! Do you also like Li Dage?"
"I don't!"
Xiao Binger's heart was in turmoil, her mind a complete Chaos, not daring to think of anything else.
"Sister, I've already thought it through."
"We have no other relatives left in this world."
"I also don't want to be separated from you, Sister, never separated. As long as we marry the same man, we can always be together."
"Sister, what do you think?"
"Also, this world is cruel. Our cultivation is low, and coupled with our looks, if we don't have someone to protect us, it's very dangerous."
"Li Dage is a good person, has high cultivation, and wide connections. Most importantly, he's really handsome!"
"Marrying him wouldn't be a loss!"
Xiao Binger: "Sigh!"
"Your idea is very good, girl. I didn't expect you, who usually seems so carefree, to see things so clearly! You've suffered, little sister!"
Xiao Linger: "Hmph! Sister, I may be simple, but I'm not stupid. I'm very smart."
"Then do you know Li Dage's thoughts?"
"Although we have some looks, Li Dage might not even fancy us!"
"Ah? No way?"
"We are favored daughters of heaven, peerless twins who could topple kingdoms. I hear many men would..."
"Li Dage should like us, right?!!!"
Xiao Binger frowned and said, "What if Li Dage already has a Dao Companion?"
"What if Li Dage's Dao Companion doesn't like us?"
Xiao Linger stuck out her tongue and said, "I haven't really thought about any of that!"
"Silly girl! Still too simple!"
Xiao Linger was unconvinced, her eyes rolling quickly, and then she seemed to make a difficult decision.
"Sister, I suddenly thought of a good idea!"
"Tell me!"
Xiao Linger was very excited and said, "We can force ourselves on him, a 'strike first, report later' approach!"
"Pfft! Cough cough cough..."
Xiao Binger almost choked to death, then looked at her sister with a resentful gaze.
"Sister, what's wrong? Is this method not good?"
"Dead girl, what's in your head? Your idea is very... very dangerous."
Not far away, Li Daoxuan suddenly shivered, which made him feel bewildered. He was a great Cultivator at the Golden Core Stage, immune to heat and cold; why would he feel cold?
He shook his head, not paying it any mind.
Xiao Linger didn't give up, saying, "How about we invite Li Dage to drink, then get him drunk, and then make the raw rice into cooked rice!"
"Slap!"
Xiao Binger slapped her sister on the forehead, helplessly saying, "Li Dage is a Cultivator; ordinary wine won't get him drunk!"
"You girl, stop thinking nonsense and get some good rest!"
"Sister, have you forgotten our family heirloom?"
"What family heirloom? How come I don't know about it!" Xiao Binger was very puzzled.
"Drunken Immortal Brew!"
"Mother said that Drunken Immortal Brew can intoxicate even Immortals."
"If we add various Spiritual Plants and potent tonics to the Drunken Immortal Brew, the effect..."
