Villain: After I died, all the heroines cried themselves to sleep.

To tell you what happened...

We need to rewind to a month ago.

Although the Holy Maiden of Yaochi did not say it explicitly, Luo Tian still understood what she meant.

That means we should stop treating the Holy Maiden of Yaoguang like a child.

Use this as a reference point.

The Holy Maiden of Yaoguang acted coquettishly in front of him.

It is undoubtedly a disguise.

What Luo Tian needs to do is to expose this disguise and see the true nature of the Holy Maiden of Yao Guang.

So when he returned to the Xuantian Sect, he was met with the coquettishness of the Holy Maiden of Yaoguang.

"Senior Brother, you went to the Jade Pool Holy Land again, didn't you? You clearly promised you wouldn't leave again, Senior Brother is a big liar!"

Although the junior sister's pouting face is cute.

It makes you want to pick her up and hug her.

Luo Tian sighed and finally decided to confront the situation.

"Junior Sister, you don't need to force yourself to please me anymore. This isn't your true self, is it?"

"Huh? Senior Brother, what are you talking about?"

Regrettably.

The Holy Maiden of Yaoguang simply tilted her head, her eyes full of innocence.

He seems a little confused.

However, Luo Tian could still tell that the other party was pretending to be stupid.

After all, Luo Tian also had a similar embarrassing past; he used to act cute in the same way back then.

The Holy Maiden of Yaoguang clearly did not intend to reveal her true nature in front of Luo Tian.

Fortunately, Luo Tian wasn't without options.

The answer is right there in the question.

Luo Tian placed his hand on the shoulders of the Holy Maiden Yao Guang and gazed at her solemnly.

"Junior sister, I want to apologize to you. I've always treated you like a child and imposed my own ideas on you."

"Senior Brother?"

"From now on, I will treat you like an adult."

"...The adult way?"

The Holy Maiden of Yaoguang opened her mouth in surprise.

He pondered for a moment.

Her cheeks suddenly turned rosy.

She was so happy that she swayed shyly, and said in a crisp voice.

"Senior brother has finally treated me like an adult... You must look at me with adult eyes, and you're not allowed to lie to me!"

"Yes, I would never lie to my junior sister."

Luo Tian nodded seriously.

From that day on, the way Luo Tian and the Holy Maiden of Yao Guang interacted underwent a dramatic change.

……

"So, Brother Luo Tian, ​​this is your reason for cultivating with the Holy Maiden of Yao Guang?"

"Ahem! Wait a minute, how did we suddenly jump to dual cultivation?"

Luo Tian almost choked to death on his tea.

"No?"

"Of course not, Holy Maiden, please let me finish."

Luo Tian quickly waved his hand and glanced at the other side.

The Holy Maiden of Yaochi smiled, her demeanor elegant and composed, as ethereal and otherworldly as ever.

But I don't know if it's just my imagination.

Luo Tian always felt...

The words of the Holy Maiden of Yaochi were barbed.

There's a certain kind of pressure that husbands who are rarely home feel when being questioned by their wives.

It must just be a joke, right?

"Brother Luo Tian, ​​please continue. Didn't you want to explain things to me clearly?"

"Ah, yes, yes..."

To be honest, it's just an engagement in name only.

It's okay if I don't explain, right?

Luo Tian thought to himself, "This is ridiculous."

Continue recounting what happened next.

……

The phrase "treat things like an adult" doesn't refer to things that would be censored if spoken out.

At its core lies in maintaining a sense of boundaries between adults.

Luo Tian no longer excessively pampered the Holy Maiden of Yao Guang.

in other words.

It means having the Holy Maiden of Yaoguang and the Holy Maiden of Tianxuan sit at the same table.

"Hehe, Senior Brother, I've come to play with you!"

"Junior sister, you're not a child anymore, so don't force yourself to act cute in front of me."

Luo Tianshi executed a classic step-back move.

He cruelly refused the Holy Maiden Yaoguang's request for a hug.

"Waaaaah... Why did you have to do this? Senior Brother, do you hate me?"

"Of course I don't dislike my junior sister, but adults should act like adults. Junior sister should just be herself."

Luo Tian adopted the airs of the senior disciple and lectured the Holy Maiden of Yao Guang.

That was incredibly righteous and stern.

"Senior Brother, has someone been saying bad things about her to you? Is she really the Holy Maiden of Yaochi?"

"Junior sister, don't overthink it. This is all for your own good."

Luo Tianqiang tried to remain calm.

"Senior Brother... went to Yuheng Palace again today..."

"As you know, Junior Sister Yuheng is still young, and Palace Master Yuheng asked me to take good care of her."

"Then... what are they...?"

Luo Tian seemed to hear the whispers of the Holy Maiden of Yao Guang.

Sweat started to seep out.

at last.

Until one day not long ago.

The Holy Maiden of Yaoguang still wanted to make a final struggle.

Luo Tian skillfully pulled out the Jade Pool Saintess as a shield.

As a result, the Holy Maiden of Yao Guang instantly lost her temper.

"All you ever say is 'Holy Maiden of Yaochi, Holy Maiden of Yaochi'... what's so good about that seductive slut anyway?!"

"...Junior Sister?"

"She's a despicable and treacherous woman! She wanted to monopolize Senior Brother, and he was completely deceived by her!"

The Holy Maiden of Yaoguang gritted her teeth and could no longer hold back, venting all her grievances.

"Senior Sister Tianxuan is a slut too. She didn't cherish Senior Brother when he was good to her, and now she's shamelessly coming back to him. How disgusting!"

"And then there's Junior Sister Yuheng, who clings to her senior brother because of her young age, trying to take my place!"

"And the sect leader, at his advanced age, is still arguing with a junior over a girl..."

The Holy Maiden of Yaoguang gave a cold laugh.

She was quite different from the lively and adorable junior sister I remembered.

"..."

What a scathing review!

Luo Tianzhen was drenched in sweat.

Leaving no way out like this is practically courting death; they're just afraid the fire will burn them.

The Holy Maiden Yaoguang was still not satisfied and continued to nag incessantly.

"You promised you wouldn't leave me, but you disappeared for over thirty years. After finally returning, you abandoned that bitch Tianxuan and then got engaged to the Holy Maiden of Yaochi."

"Then I can only pretend to be obedient and play the role of the junior sister in my senior brother's eyes, so that I can stay by his side!"

"I'm clearly the only one who likes my senior brother the most, so why does he always ignore me?"

The Holy Maiden of Yaoguang pressed closer and closer.

He looked up, his face expressionless, staring intently at Luo Tian.

"Are you happy now, Senior Brother? I'm not the junior sister you think I am. My cuteness before was all deliberate, and my purpose was to get closer to Senior Brother."

"..."

"Anyway, I'm just this pretentious, so you can hate me now, senior brother."

The Holy Maiden of Yao Guang turned her head away.

Give up on yourself.

Luo Tian sized up the Holy Maiden Yao Guang in front of him.

In fact, he had already done his homework and learned about the true appearance of the Holy Maiden of Yaoguang from the Holy Son of Tian Shu and the Palace Master of Tian Ji, among others.

It was basically the same information he had gathered when he first returned.

She is completely unrelated to being well-behaved and adorable.

Not only does he not like to smile, but he is also cold and ruthless to everyone.

Now look at the Holy Maiden of Yaoguang.

Although her cultivation went awry, her body stopped growing.

However, she still retains the appearance she had when she grew up.

A tall and slender figure.

She can no longer be compared to the petite girl of the past.

The Holy Maiden of Yaoguang tightened her small face, no longer pretending to be cute, and was obviously much more mature.

However, her arms, which were wrapped around her, trembled slightly.

It speaks of the fear in her heart.

Behind her seemingly stubborn exterior, she fears being alienated and disliked by Luo Tian.

"Ha... So you've finally told the truth?"

Luo Tian chuckled to himself.

The laughter had barely subsided when the Holy Maiden of Yaoguang trembled slightly.

"She's definitely not the junior sister I know."

"..."

Tears welled up in the eyes of the Holy Maiden of Yao Guang.

Then Luo Tian took a step.

He pulled the trembling Holy Maiden of Yao Guang into his arms.

"But even if she grows up, she will still be my junior sister."

"Senior Brother..."

Why do you think I would hate you?

"But...I..."

"I just want to know my junior sister's true feelings, and I want to be honest with you. No matter what you become, I will always love you."

"Senior brother...I...Waaaaah..."

Tears streamed down my face.

The Holy Maiden of Yaoguang hugged Luo Tian tightly and buried her head in his chest.

She began to sob and cry.

Luo Tian gently stroked the beautiful hair of the Holy Maiden Yao Guang.

I found it somewhat amusing.

Even if one's temperament changes slightly.

The junior sister's love of acting cute remains unchanged.

The crying gradually subsided.

"Senior brother, can I continue to act cute and affectionate with you from now on?"

The Holy Maiden Yaoguang spoke in a deep, muffled voice.

Luo Tian did not hesitate at all.

"sure."

"So, my senior brother already considers me an adult, right?"

"That's right."

"In other words, the 'like' that you mentioned earlier is the 'like' of an adult, so I can act like an adult and act cute towards you in the future."

"..."

"When will Senior Brother break off his engagement with the Holy Maiden of Yaochi?"

"I've been thinking about it carefully, and it seems that my junior sister was quite a troublemaker a long time ago..."

"Besides, my figure is no worse than anyone else's."

"As expected, memories can be embellished..."

"Senior brother, don't change the subject."

"By the way, junior sister, you should honestly go and confess to the sect leader later."

"Senior Brother..."

"It's no use pretending to be cute now."

……

"In short, Junior Sister Yaoguang finally revealed her true feelings to me, and I accepted the changes in Junior Sister Yaoguang, and the barrier between us completely melted away."

"Congratulations, Brother Luo Tian, ​​on relieving yourself of a worry. But I wonder how the Holy Maiden Yao Guang is doing now?"

"Uh...she's still in solitary confinement."

Luo Tian smiled awkwardly.

By the way.

The Holy Maiden of Yaoguang burys her head in the sand afterward and does not turn herself in.

He was still arrested by Empress Xuan and exiled back to Yaoguang Palace to serve his sentence for slandering the sect leader. His release date was indefinite.

"We owe this outcome to the Holy Maiden's generous assistance."

"Brother Luo Tian, ​​you're too kind. This is all thanks to your own hard work."

The Holy Maiden of Yaochi trembled as she poured the tea.

Luo Tian snatched the teapot from the hands of the Holy Maiden of Yaochi.

He personally poured tea for the other party.

"To be honest, the reason I came to see the Holy Maiden this time is not only to thank her, but also to continue to seek her guidance."

"Brother Luo Tian, ​​please speak frankly."

"First and foremost is my junior sister Tianxuan—"

"Reject it outright."

"what?"

"I apologize, I lost my composure. In my opinion, if Brother Luo Tian wants to let go of his past infatuation, he should make a clean break and completely sever ties with the past, which might save him from future entanglements."

The Holy Maiden of Yaochi looked at Luo Tian and smiled slyly.

"Of course, if you still intend to reconcile, then we'll have to find another way."

"My love for Junior Sister Tianxuan has long been buried in the past."

Luo Tian shook his head sadly.

To say there were no feelings involved would be a lie.

After so many villainous roles and comebacks, he had long since realized a fact.

The villainous roles he played were actually all of himself.

In other words.

He and the Holy Maiden of Tianxuan were truly childhood sweethearts.

Even if my childhood feelings for the Holy Maiden Tianxuan didn't reach the point of unwavering devotion until death, they were still real.

But now...

In the end, it was all worn away.

Luo Tian shared the same idea as the Holy Maiden of Yaochi and was determined to completely sever ties with the Holy Maiden of Tianxuan.

"Let's not talk about Junior Sister Tianxuan."

He didn't dwell on it too much.

Then he turned to the main point of the visit.

"I sought out the Holy Maiden mainly to discuss matters concerning my sect leader."

"Brother Luo Tian keeps asking me for advice on how to please other women, as if he's forgotten that I'm your fiancée..."

The Holy Maiden of Yaochi gazed at Luo Tian with a melancholy expression.

She pretended to be a little girl.

"You didn't even give me the slightest benefit. Don't you think that's a bit much?"

"..."

The Holy Maiden of Yaochi makes a very good point.

This left Luo Tian speechless.

Moreover, the sudden act of cuteness by the Holy Maiden of Yaochi was somewhat unfair.

Luo Tianqian chuckled and scratched his head.

"What the Holy Maiden says is absolutely right. Once this matter is settled, I will consider it a favor I owe the Holy Maiden. In the future, I will go through fire and water for the Holy Maiden whenever she needs me."

"Brother Luo Tian, ​​you flatter me. There's no need to risk your life."

The Holy Maiden of Yaochi smiled slightly.

"I only hope that you won't go back on your word in the future."

That's enough of the joke.

The Holy Maiden of Yaochi continued to offer Luo Tian advice without reservation.

Deeply inspired, Luo Tian left the sacred land of Yaochi.

The Holy Maiden of Yaochi smiled as she saw Luo Tian off.

Then the smile gradually disappeared.

"How did it even succeed? He only has himself to blame..."

The Holy Maiden of Yaochi lamented.

The thought of creating more competitors for myself.

I just couldn't resist.

He stomped his foot.
