Brocade Robe Unparalleled

Chapter 146 Aya's Assist

"Thank you for your hospitality tonight, Lord Chen."

"We'll take our leave now. If Lord Chen ever comes to Shuidong in the future, we'll definitely come and visit..."

"Of course, of course..."

……

At the entrance of Chunxianglou.

An Yunru and Song Qian bowed to Lin Xuan and left with their families, their expressions revealing complex emotions.

Tian Qingluan also bowed to Lin Xuan, but when she raised her head, she winked at him playfully before gracefully departing with the powerful members of the Jiuli tribe.

Lin Xuan watched their figures gradually disappear into the distance, knowing that after tonight, the attitudes of the An and Song families towards the Tian family would likely change.

The reason for this banquet was that Lin Xuan took advantage of the fact that the experts from the Xuanwu tribe had not yet left, to give the An and Song families a warning and a deterrent.

So as not to make them think that the Tian family has no background, is weak and vulnerable, and can be easily bullied by anyone.

Not long after, at the Tian residence.

Lin Xuan held Qingluan close, his fingertips unconsciously caressing the softness of her shoulder, and whispered, "You're very bold tonight. Aren't you afraid they'll find out?"

Tian Qingluan wrinkled her nose and snorted, "So what if they can see through me? I just want them to know that I'm your woman. Besides, don't you think... this is more exciting?"

Lin Xuan looked down at her. Whenever she was by his side, she seemed to be a completely different person, becoming more and more like a seductive little enchantress.

Their eyes met, their breaths mingled, and the atmosphere quickly heated up. Qingluan's lips soon took the initiative to meet hers.

Tuk, Tuk, Tuk!
Just as their passion was reaching its peak, there was a sudden knock on the door.

Aya's voice came from outside the door: "Big brother, what are you and Sister Tian doing in the room? I'm hungry, I want to eat the noodles you cooked..."

Although he didn't want to interrupt this tender moment, Lin Xuan knew that Aya wouldn't leave unless he responded.

The thought of him and Qingluan being all lovey-dovey in the room while Aya stood guard outside always gave her a strange feeling.

Lin Xuan had no choice but to separate from Qingluan for the time being, and asked her in a low voice, "Are you hungry? Should I cook another bowl?"

Having been bothered by Aya countless times, Tian Qingluan glanced resentfully towards the door, straightened her slightly disheveled clothes, and shook her head, saying, "No need, I'll go talk to Sister Youmeng..."

Lin Xuan walked to the door, opened it, and Aya asked curiously, "Big brother, what are you doing in the room?"

A sixteen-year-old girl shouldn't be asking such a question.

But Aya is different from other girls. She grew up in a tribe and has experienced too little. Her mind is pure, which is completely inconsistent with her age.

Lin Xuan deftly changed the subject: "I was discussing some important things with Sister Qingluan. Come on, let's go to the kitchen and cook you some noodles..."

Aya tilted her head and looked at Lin Xuan. She wasn't stupid; she knew that her older brother and Qingluan had been kissing in the room just now. She had seen them kissing many times.

She was very curious about what a kiss felt like.

Yesterday she went to ask the saintess, who said she didn't know either. It turns out that even the omnipotent saintess has things she doesn't know.

There was a small kitchen in the inner courtyard of the Tian family home, which was originally used by Lin Xuan to cook special meals for Qingluan.

During this period, Qingluan was not used much, but she almost became Aya's private chef.

A short while later, at the small dining table in the kitchen, Aya was slurping noodles when she suddenly stopped and asked Lin Xuan, "Big brother, is kissing fun?"

Lin Xuan, with his back to her as he washed the pot, said without turning his head, "It's not fun. Kids shouldn't ask so many questions."

Aya wrinkled her nose and said defiantly, "I'm not a child anymore. Kissing must be fun. Otherwise, why would you and Sister Qingluan play it every day..."

Lin Xuan was speechless for a moment. How could he explain this?

Aya muttered under her breath, "You didn't tell me, and neither did the Holy Maiden. I'll just play by myself from now on..."

Lin Xuan turned around and quickly said, "You can't just play this game casually. You can only play it with someone you like..."

Aya's words made Lin Xuan even more determined to let the children of the tribe come out and see the world more often.

Although his words may not necessarily reflect reality—after all, there are places like brothels where one can not only kiss different women but also have more in-depth conversations—at least they can help them establish the most basic values ​​and worldview.

"Can I only play with people I like...?"

Aya nodded as if she understood, then asked, "Big brother, do you like the Holy Maiden?"

Lin Xuan was taken aback by her question.

A dream...

When Lin Xuan first met her at the Tian family, she was a mysterious and powerful holy maiden of the Xuanwu tribe, his only hope to get rid of the Heart-Eating Gu.

Until he went to the Xuanwu tribe, passed the Saintess Trial with her, and helped her ascend to the Temple of the Witch God, he had no romantic feelings for Youmeng whatsoever.

Then, the accident in the Temple of the Witch God occurred. Lin Xuan initially tried to avoid the matter. At that time, his status was vastly different from Youmeng's, and they had no emotional foundation. Pretending that nothing had happened was undoubtedly the best choice.

Although Youmeng had also asked him to do this, Lin Xuan knew very well that although she seemed to be a year older than Qingluan, her naivety was comparable to Aya's.

The reason for handling it this way is entirely out of kindness.

At this time, Lin Xuan felt no affection for her either.

But later, when he learned that she had argued with the High Priest for his sake, and that she had given him a series of precious treasures before leaving, and that after Lin Xuan returned to the Xuanwu Tribe for help but was refused by the High Priest, she even planned to help him on her own...

At this point, Lin Xuan already knew that he had accumulated another debt of affection.

Youmeng's simplicity and kindness, unlike A'luo's feigned innocence, are a kind of purity untouched by worldly corruption.

Compared to Qingluan's straightforwardness and passion, her feelings are more subtle and reserved. She would choose to silently give by his side without revealing her emotions in the slightest.

Lin Xuan believed that if he didn't take the initiative to take responsibility, she would keep this matter buried in her heart forever.

If she were Qingluan, she would have already pressed Lin Xuan for an answer.

If it were a datura flower… Lin Xuan would probably never be able to leave the Temple of the Witch God.

He pretended to be nonchalant, but was actually taking advantage of Youmeng's kindness.

Aya tugged at Lin Xuan's sleeve and said, "Big brother, please tell me! I promise I won't tell the Holy Maiden or Qingluan!"

No one understands Aya better than Lin Xuan.

Once she speaks, nothing is a secret anymore.

Lin Xuan nodded and said, "Of course I like her. The Holy Maiden is so wonderful, how could I not like her?"

Aya's eyes crinkled into a smile as she pressed on, "Between the Holy Maiden and the Azure Phoenix, who do you like more?"

People have always asked Lin Xuan this question.

Previously, the question was asked of A Luo and Qing Luan.

Now, the question is about Youmeng and Qingluan.

Call him a womanizer or a philanderer, but faced with two women who were devoted to him, and two equally sincere relationships, he simply couldn't decide which was better.

Lin Xuan didn't hesitate and said, "I like it just the same."

Aya picked up the bowl, quickly finished the noodles, and drank all the soup. She wiped her mouth and said, "Big brother, I'm full. I'm going back to sleep!"

Before the words were even finished, the person had already dashed out of the kitchen.

Lin Xuan watched her run away, leaned against the kitchen door, and let out a soft sigh of relief.

Having experienced a huge deception and hurt in his relationship, he cherishes every sincere affection all the more.

In this life, we should do our best and leave no regrets.

But everyone has a different personality.

Qingluan's temperament meant that Lin Xuan didn't need to take the initiative at all.

But if he doesn't take the initiative, Youmeng will never take the initiative.

Perhaps we could first let Aya act as a mouthpiece, test the waters, and then decide on the next step based on her reaction…

He went to the courtyard, sat on the stone bench, closed his eyes and entered a meditative state. His spiritual energy spread out slowly like an invisible net...

The Dream Room.

No sooner had Tian Qingluan left than Aya slipped in and said to Youmeng, who was preparing to rest, "Saintess, let me tell you a secret..."

Youmeng smiled gently and asked, "What secret?"

Aya leaned closer and whispered, "I just asked big brother if he liked the Holy Maiden..."

Youmeng's heart skipped a beat, and her hands clenched involuntarily, her knuckles turning slightly white.

She lowered her eyes, avoiding Aya's gaze, but her heart was filled with trepidation as she awaited Aya's next words.

Aya didn't keep her waiting long, and happily said, "He said he liked her. Later I asked him if he liked the Holy Maiden Sister or the Azure Phoenix Sister more, and he said he liked them both..."

Youmeng lowered her head, a sweet and joyful feeling welling up in her heart, and she suddenly felt a little at a loss.

Although she had never asked for anything or thought about making him take responsibility, she still felt incredibly happy to hear these words.

Aya looked at Youmeng with some anticipation and said, "Big brother likes the Holy Maiden just as much as he likes Sister Qingluan. Sister Qingluan can kiss him, and so can the Holy Maiden. After you kiss, tell me what's so fun about kissing..."
