Chapter 17: The Touch of Darkness (4)

  Zhou Weiqing didn't dodge either, his face filled with helplessness, "Sister Ruo Xue, it's not my fault that I developed well!" As he spoke, he secretly glanced at Xiao Ruoxue's flat chest.

  "What are you looking at? Look again and I'll dig out your eyes. If you can't produce evidence, I'll take you back and deal with you according to military law." At this time, Xiao Ruse was so flustered that she had forgotten that Zhou Weiqing was a Tianzhu master. Her personality was always calm, but after experiencing so many shocks, plus Zhou Weiqing's kiss on her face, how could she remain calm?

  Zhou Weiqing lowered his head and began to untie his belt with both hands.

  "What are you doing?" Xiao Ruse's long sword moved forward and was already in front of him.

  Zhou Weiqing said with a wronged expression: "Didn't you ask me to show evidence? When we were kids, you took me to play by the river and saw the red mole on my butt. Let me show it to you." As he spoke, without waiting for Xiao Ruse's objection, this guy had already turned around, pulled down his pants, and exposed his white buttocks.

  Sure, here is the translation:

  As expected, there was a small, bright red mole on his left buttock.

  Xiao Ruse's face turned red with embarrassment as she hastily turned around and said, "Hurry up and put it on, you look awful."

  Zhou Weiqing put on his pants with a few quick movements and smiled: "Rusen sister, now you believe me, right?"

  Xiao Ruse stole a glance, saw that he had already put on his pants, and was collecting his long sword while asking in surprise: "You're really Zhou Weiqing that little snot? No way! Didn't you have meridian blockage?" She stopped talking abruptly at this point.

  "It used to be trash, but that doesn't mean it's always trash." Zhou Weiqing said nonchalantly. "Sister Rong, when I was a kid, my meridians were blocked and kids of the same age wouldn't play with me. Only you would take me out to play. This time we're apart is already seven years! Sister Rong, back then I really missed you so much, always thinking that if only you were my real sister."

  As he spoke, Zhou Weiqing's eyes had already reddened. In his over a decade of life, the two people closest to him were his mother and Xiao Ruoxue. It could be said that in Zhou Weiqing's childhood, Xiao Ruoxue occupied an extremely large proportion.

  "Little runny nose, you're so big now, shouldn't still be crying all the time. You've changed so much that even your sister can't recognize you." Xiao Ru's eyes sparkled as she opened her arms and wrapped them around Zhou Weiqing, who was a few inches taller than her, just like when she used to protect him when they were young.

  Leaning in Xiao Wu's arms, Zhou Weiqing only felt that her chest was hard and stiff, without knowing what she had stuffed inside. There was no feminine scent on her body, only a faintly refreshing air that smelled exceptionally comfortable.

  However, just after a few seconds of being held, Xiao Ruse suddenly came to her senses and pushed Zhou Weiqing away. "You little scoundrel, you knew it was me all along, didn't you? How dare you cut off my Purple Star Bow and play tricks on me? Are you itching for a beating?"

  Zhou Weiqing was startled by her, "Sister, listen to me explain. I didn't recognize you earlier either!"

  "Unbelievable! You almost gave me a heart attack just now, let me calm down first."

  "Ah..."

  Half an hour later.

  Zhou Weiqing and Xiao Ruoxue sat side by side under a large tree, Zhou Weiqing detailedly told her how he swallowed the black pearl, entered the army and what happened afterwards. He had always regarded Xiao Ruoxue as his closest person, so naturally he wouldn't hide anything from her, even telling her about his relationship with Shangguan Xue'er.

  "No wonder she's so different with you. I didn't expect that you would actually... Haha." Xiao Ruse suddenly burst out laughing, startling Zhou Weiqing.

  "Sister, what are you laughing at?"

  Xiao Ruse rubbed her aching stomach and said, "Now that's what I call settling all scores. Shangguan Bing'er snatched the position of camp commander from me, but she wasn't even good at commanding troops. Who would have thought that it would end up benefiting you instead? The saying goes 'the fat water doesn't flow into someone else's field', and yet she was a Tianzhu master. But who knew she'd become the sacrificial offering for your Tianzhu awakening, little runny nose? I didn't think you were so lucky."

  "Sister, look at me now that I've joined the army, can you stop calling me Little Snot?"

  Xiao Ruse let out a hum, "No matter how big you are, in my eyes, you're still that little nose-picking kid. What do you plan to do? Not tell Uncle Zhou about becoming a Tianzhu Master? He's been waiting for this day for a long time."

  Zhou Weiqing shook his head and said, "I'm not going back. When I was still a useless person, my old man had already tormented me to the point of being on the verge of life and death. If he finds out that I've become a Heavenly Jewel Master, will I still be able to have good days?"

  Xiao Ruo's smile was not a smile as she said: "You little stinker, I think you're reluctant to part with Shangguan Bing'er."

  Zhou Weiqing didn't hide it, nodded and said: "It's a bit hard to bear. Although that day was a misunderstanding, I also wronged her! If it were Empress Difuya, she would have probably killed me already. But not only did she not kill me, she even guided me in my cultivation. Sister, I like her, really."

  Xiao Ruse looked at Zhou Weiqing, and for some reason, a surge of sourness suddenly flowed through her heart. After a while, she said softly: "If you like her, just chase after her. With our Little Wei's skills, are we afraid that he can't catch up to her? Although Shangguan Xue'er is not great at military command, but as a person, she's actually quite good. From now on, I won't be against her anymore."

  "Sister, are you okay?" Zhou Weiqing looked at her with a puzzled expression.

  Xiao Ruse's heart skipped a beat, Ah! What's wrong with me? I'm seven years older than Weiqing!

  "What can I do? Let's go, we should head back too. Otherwise, your beautiful captain will worry about you." Xiao Ruse stood up and covered the blush that flashed across her face.

  Zhou Weiqing also hastily stood up, holding onto Xiao Ruoxue's hand and chuckled: "Sister, if I had known earlier that Xiao Se was actually Xiao Ruoxue, on the day the Heaven's Expanse Palace awakened, I really wished it was you who came running over."

  "Hmph. You even dare to flirt with my sister, just you wait and see if I don't beat you up." Xiao Ruse raised her hand and slapped towards Zhou Weiqing's head, but he dodged it with a smile, running in the direction of the military camp while saying: "Sister, do you know? After I grew up, when Father told me that my fiancée was Di Tianya, I told him I didn't want Di Tianya, I wanted Sister Ruse."

  After finishing this sentence, Zhou Weiqing had already run away without a trace, while Xiao Ruse stood still for a moment before following him. At this time, she was truly not calm in her heart.

  At first, after parting with Zhou Weiqing, in order to fulfill her father's wish, she had been desperately practicing hard, but at the age of 16, she still failed to successfully awaken her innate divine pearl. Since then, she disguised herself as a man and entered the primary military academy to study and practice archery skills. Two years ago, after achieving some success, she joined the army until today. It can be said that the men closest to her are only two, one is her father, and the other is Zhou Weiqing.

  Brothers and sisters, I'm still alive. I don't want to say more about my body, but from the bottom of my heart, I just want to tell you that no matter what situation, I've been thinking of you guys all along. Today there will only be two updates, tomorrow might also only have two updates. The day after tomorrow, I'll try to resume three updates. Sorry.
