87: Chapter 87 Damn it, give me back my gratitude!
In the ink-black night, the van drove into Jianghai City.
Yue Yun looked through the car window and saw the familiar scenery.
"You can just drop me off outside the residential complex."
"Alright, see you in two days!"
Xu Qingfang and Mo Yu bade farewell to Yue Yun, parked the car at the entrance of the residential complex for easy disembarking, and parted ways there.
Yue Yun shouldered his backpack and walked into the apartment building. As he took the elevator, he couldn't help but feel a bit excited at the thought of seeing his sister.
Yue Yun opened the door, and the house was pitch black.
"She's not back yet?"
His mood suddenly plummeted.
Yue Yun summoned Miao Sang to let it run around while turning on the house lights, but he froze in place when he saw the scene inside.
Yue Shu was wearing SpongeBob pajamas, curled up on the sofa, fast asleep, without even turning on the air conditioner's heating.
"Crazy."
Yue Yun muttered and turned on the air conditioner.
In her sleep, it was as if Yue Shu heard Yue Yun's words; her eyelashes fluttered slightly as she let out a threatening mumble in her dream: "Are you looking for a beating?"
She opened her eyes abruptly and sat up halfway.
Yue Yun looked at Yue Shu with a cheeky grin.
"Why didn't you turn on the air conditioner, Sis?"
"I didn't feel cold."
Having stayed in the freezing Secret Realm for so long, Yue Shu had grown accustomed to the bitter cold and didn't care whether the air conditioner was on or not.
She pulled Miao Sang into her arms, buried her face in the warm cat fur, and greedily inhaled the unique pine scent of Miao Sang.
After a good while.
Yue Shu suddenly said: "Little brother, come here!"
Yue Yun walked toward the sofa, but before he could even sit down, Yue Shu pounced on him and pressed her ice-cold palms against his neck.
The sudden cold made him shiver.
Yue Yun looked at Yue Shu with disgust.
The relationship between siblings is always like this.
Emotional moments of familial love only last for an instant; most of the time is spent bickering and being mutually disgusted with each other.
She wore a smile of successful mischief, pulled her hands back, tucked them under Miao Sang's belly, and changed the subject to something else.
"You didn't go to the exam?"
"I went to play."
Yue Yun answered straightforwardly.
After all, for students in the Beast Taming Class, skipping class was already a common occurrence; even Yue Shu hadn't skipped class any less in the past.
Naturally, Yue Shu didn't blame Yue Yun for this.
She laughed gloatingly: "You're done for. Teacher Pan is very strict. Just wait to get disciplined when school starts!"
Yue Shu once attended Jianghai Second Middle School.
At that time, Pan Xuan had taken good care of her, but the conditions offered by Li Moyun were impossible to refuse, which was why she left Jianghai Second Middle School to attend First Middle School, and became the top student that year.
Pan Xuan didn't mind at all.
On the contrary, he often encouraged Yue Shu to strive for progress.
Yue Shu respected Pan Xuan very much, and she was also well aware that Pan Xuan was known for his strict teaching style; he would definitely severely discipline Yue Yun, who dared to skip even the final exams.
She couldn't keep the corners of her mouth from curling up.
"Ahem, as your sister, pfft hahaha, I am very heartbroken!"
"Could you at least try to pretend?"
Yue Yun was really too lazy to roast this woman.
He knew very well how formidable Pan Xuan was.
He had long been prepared for this, so naturally, he wouldn't fall into the trap.
Yue Shu turned on the television, lay back down, and started binge-watching a show while ordering around her domestic servant.
"Go wash the fruit I bought. Peel what needs to be peeled, cut what needs to be cut, and bring me a box of yogurt and some chocolate!"
Yue Yun was speechless.
Born of the same mother, yet no choice in the matter.
...
Although he was ordered around by his sister, he managed to trade it for takeout.
"It smells so good!"
Yue Yun poured the crayfish broth into his rice, mixed it, and scraped the rice bowl clean as if he were eating porridge, letting out a satisfied sigh.
Yue Shu's bright eyes widened.
She couldn't help but reach out to touch Yue Yun's stomach. Feeling it rise and fall slightly, her shock reached its peak.
"You ate all those extra-large crayfish?"
"Half full."
Yue Yun wiped his lips with refined movements.
If his sister knew they had finished a whole cow and a sheep in three days, she would probably drag him off for dissection and research.
Yue Shu was still shocked and said sincerely: "Little brother, I think you're suitable to be a food streamer; you should be able to get very popular!
However, just eating might not have much appeal. You could try learning from Zhang Shengta, try more exotic things, as long as you don't eat poop."
Yue Shu said this while finishing her own portion.
She picked up a tissue to wipe her lips. Without saying a word, she just gave Yue Yun a look, and Yue Yun started cleaning up.
Yue Shu was very satisfied with Yue Yun's diligence.
Domestic servants are the best to use~
You don't even need to speak.
Just one look, or even a tiny gesture, and he could understand her meaning and complete her requests.
However, Yue Yun didn't work for nothing.
When he sat back on the sofa, Yue Shu took out a small gift she had prepared for him: "Ahem, little brother, receive your reward!"
Yue Yun looked over, his face full of resignation.
What kind of trouble was this woman trying to stir up now?
He saw her slender, onion-like jade fingers holding three vials of potion. The liquid was a deep, dark red, emitting an invisible energy fluctuation.
It was none other than dragon blood potion no. 14!
Yue Yun snapped back from his surprise and hurriedly knelt on the sofa.
Yue Shu's smile became even brighter, and her melodious voice became arrogant: "Little brother has studied hard and diligently. I have seen your progress, and I bestow upon you three vials of dragon blood potion no. 14 as encouragement!"
"Thank you, Imperial Sister! Long live, long live, long live the Imperial Sister!"
Yue Yun called out flatteringly.
He opened his hands to take the three vials of dragon blood potion no. 14, gently shook them, and seeing the red and yellow colors bloom like fireworks inside the test tubes, he couldn't help but nod in satisfaction.
It was the real deal, no problems!
Yue Shu watched her little brother inspect the goods with amusement, and was curious about his skilled technique: "Have you seen dragon blood potion no. 14 before?"
"A friend gave me some before."
Yue Yun concealed the specific reason.
If his sister knew he had withstood Dragon Breath head-on, she would definitely unleash her sisterly Divine Power to teach him a lesson and make him remember it well.
Yue Yun didn't want to be lectured by his sister, so he changed the subject and asked about the origin of the dragon blood potion no. 14: "Sis, this dragon blood potion isn't cheap. How many credits did you use to exchange for it?"
"It's not expensive."
The efficacy of dragon blood potion no. 14 is relatively mild, suitable for low-star Pet Beasts, but its effectiveness is greatly reduced for Elite-level Pet Beasts.
Students admitted to Huaxia University are all elites; most have reached three stars, or are just one step away from three stars.
Their Pet Beasts are also almost all perfectly cultivated.
dragon blood potion no. 14 is not in urgent demand at Huaxia University, and because it is not scarce, it is naturally not that expensive.
Besides, Yue Shu didn't even use her own credits.
"Chen Long lost all his credits for this semester to me. I used his credits to exchange for them for you, so don't worry!"
Yue Shu patted Yue Yun's shoulder lightly.
Yue Yun was naturally deeply moved. To him, his sister was a lighthouse illuminating his life, a warm harbor.
It's just that she's usually a bit annoying.
But the love that should be there is not lacking in the slightest.
After all, they are siblings!
"Sis..."
"I ordered another takeout, go get it."
