Zero Succubus in the Territory: Starting with Apprenticeship to the Yi Xuan Sisters

As she spoke, Yi Xuan smiled slightly and reached off the bed to find her shoes. Seeing this, Yi Xue walked to the bedside, bent down and took the shoes for her.

Then he squatted down by the bed, picked up a shoe with one hand and gently opened the opening, while gently lifting the other person's fair and delicate foot with the other hand.

Yi Xuan was stunned for a moment. She originally thought Xue'er just wanted to help her get her shoes, but she didn't expect her to actually reach out and get them.

That's natural. Yi Xue is now in charge of taking care of Yi Xuan personally, so serving her shoes and clothes is just a small matter.

She instinctively tried to pull her foot back, but her ankle was already held in the other person's palm. Yi Xue's fingers were a little hot, and her fingertips tickled when they touched her.

"Sister, let me help you."

He steadily lifted Yi Xuan's feet, as if holding a fragile porcelain cup. Yi Xuan did not pull away, but awkwardly shifted her gaze to the window, her ear tips flushing slightly.

Yi Xue slightly raised her eyes, her gaze falling on Yi Xuan's bare feet. Her feet were well-proportioned and delicate, with smooth and soft lines on the instep. Her skin was fair and smooth, like carefully carved white jade, gleaming with a delicate luster under the light. Her toes were small and round, and her light pink nails were clean and elegant, without any fancy or superfluous decorations, making her look both beautiful and gentle.

It's simply a perfect work of art.

Yi Xuan pursed his lips shyly. Yi Xue had her head down, so she couldn't see his expression. She only knew that he had suddenly stopped moving while holding her feet.

Speaking of which... she forgot to wash her feet when she fell asleep last night. I hope they don't smell bad.

Just as she was thinking this, a faint scent drifted past Yi Xue's nose, and she couldn't help but take a sniff.

Contrary to Yi Xuan's worries, the scent was neither foul nor sour; instead, it had a faint, pleasant fragrance with a hint of damp sweetness, which slowly seeped into his heart along with the warm aroma.

Hmm...it does smell good.

That makes sense, a beauty like Sister Yixuan must smell wonderful from head to toe.

As someone who has thoroughly appreciated it, Yi Xue can give a very confident assessment.

Yi Xuan could clearly feel the boy's gaze lingering on her feet, his burning gaze seemingly landing directly on her skin, making her feel uneasy and a wave of shyness wash over her.

'Looking so intently, could it be that Xue'er... has feelings for places like this?'

The thought suddenly popped into Yi Xuan's mind, and he suddenly felt that the skin on the back of his foot had become particularly sensitive, and even the spot where his gaze fell felt slightly hot.

'Still looking... Do you really like your sister's feet that much?'

If that's the case... it wouldn't be a problem to let Xue'er take a look a little longer. Although she doesn't quite understand what's so interesting about feet, since she has better places to show him, as long as Xue'er likes it, that's fine.

Yi Xue explained that he doesn't have such a fetish; he simply has a keen eye for beauty and enjoys appreciating it.

He carefully held that jade-like foot, preparing to slowly slip the shoe on. The moment his fingertips touched the delicate instep, a tingling sensation spread up his calf. Yi Xuan was caught off guard, and a soft, coquettish sound escaped her lips.

As soon as she finished speaking, she tensed up, her eyelashes trembling nervously. She lowered her head and whispered an explanation: "N-nothing...it's just that it suddenly feels a little itchy here."

"Okay, then I'll keep wearing them."

He didn't pay much attention to Yi Xuan's words, just thinking that he was a little shy because it was the first time he had been treated like this.

However, this idea gave him a strange sense of ritual, like a prince putting on Cinderella's glass slippers. His movements slowed down subconsciously, and his fingers uncontrollably rubbed the other person's instep twice.

He wasn't a foot fetishist, but with something so beautiful right in front of him, he couldn't resist wanting to handle it.

Yi Xuan's body stiffened slightly, and a blush quickly spread across her cheeks. She subconsciously curled her toes, her breathing gradually became erratic, her gaze shifted to the side in a somewhat flustered manner, and the tips of her ears felt slightly hot.

However, she did not choose to stop her or pull her foot back; she simply let Yixue hold her foot in her hands and play with it like a treasure.

A wave of shyness washed over her, but she could only purse her lips tightly and pretend to be nonchalant. However, her slightly tense body had already revealed her true feelings.

It wouldn't be offensive, at most I'm just a little shy.

'Honestly... She's so young, how could she like this kind of thing? She's such a rascal...'

Yi Xuan sighed with a hint of helplessness, but judging from her expression that seemed to be enjoying herself, she didn't seem to have any reason to blame the other party.

Yi Xue quickly came to her senses, realizing that she had been somewhat out of line. She hurriedly withdrew her hand and quickly put on her shoes.

However, the tips of his ears were also tinged with a faint red, and the sweet fragrance seemed to linger around his nose. He dared not easily raise his head to meet Yi Xuan's gaze.

Seeing that Yi Xue was also a little shy, Yi Xuan's unease quietly dissipated, and he couldn't help but cover his mouth and chuckle. The crisp laughter fell into Yi Xue's ears, making him feel even more embarrassed.

"Alright, stop standing there in a daze. I'm not blaming you." Yi Xuan stood up gently and put her hand on Yi Xue's shoulder. "Let's go for a walk in the mountains together."

Yi Xue hesitated for a moment, then reached out and gently took her arm. Yi Xuan then slipped his hand into her sleeve and gently took her small hand in his.

And so, the two walked hand in hand out of the courtyard and strolled along the bluestone mountain path between the houses. The evening breeze passed through the houses and trees, carrying the unique fresh scent of grass and trees, as well as a faint smell of cooking fires.

Along the way, they frequently encountered fellow disciples returning from training. Upon seeing the two, everyone stopped and respectfully greeted them. Yi Xuan smiled and nodded in response, while Yi Xue politely returned their greetings, though her gaze unconsciously began to wander around.

Many courtyards along the way had brand-new lanterns hanging in front of their doors, and brightly colored festive paper was pasted on the walls and pillars, creating a lively atmosphere. Yi Xue's gaze lingered on the decorations, and she was somewhat lost in thought.

Yi Xuan noticed his gaze, rubbed his head and explained softly, "Xue'er, you don't know yet, do you? Tuojin Day is coming soon. This is a long-standing tradition in Weifei. On that day, every household will hang up beautiful lanterns, and the whole family will gather together to prepare a sumptuous feast. According to the custom, the elders will also give red envelopes and gifts to the younger generation in the family."

Yi Xue listened quietly, a hint of longing flashing in his eyes, while a complex feeling welled up in his heart. Of course, he knew the customs of Tuojinri, after all, it was very similar to the New Year in his previous life.

In the past, on such lively days, he was always alone, because he was an orphan. So he had no family, no banquet, no lanterns, and no one would remember to prepare a red envelope for him.

He does have some friends, of course, but... they're just friends.

Because they are friends, he couldn't disturb the other person when they were reuniting with their family.

So... he was always very lonely.

"Xue'er..."

Seemingly sensing the disappointment of the person beside her, Yi Xuan tightened her grip on his small hand, their fingers intertwined. This lover-like grip made her feel a little shy, but as long as it was hidden in her sleeve, no one would see it.

Yi Xue quietly looked up at Yi Xuan beside her, gazing at his gentle profile, and silently thought to herself, perhaps this time, everything will be different.

Chapter 89 What are Yi Xuan and Xue Er doing?

Weifeidi Chenghuiping urban area, casually watch the market in front.

The area in front of the temple was bustling with activity. It was barely dawn, and the shops along the street were already teeming with people. Large quantities of supplies were being sorted and stacked in the open space in front of the temple by the disciples of Yunkui Mountain.

With Yi Jiang at the core, the disciples of the mountain gate each performed their duties, counting dry food and fresh fruit, sealing lanterns and candles, and packing the fabric for the sewn New Year's red envelopes, preparing for the Tuojin Day a few days later, planning to transport them all back to Yunkui Mountain.

"Sect Master, the goods here have been inventoried."

At this moment, a senior student dressed as a fellow student approached Yi Jiang with a list in his hands and bowed respectfully.

"Hmm, how are the special lanterns coming along?"

"I've already contacted the workshop, and the shop owner said they'll package it and ship it over first thing tomorrow morning."

"Okay, thank you for your hard work. I'll pick it up myself tomorrow morning."

"Ah? That won't be necessary. Sect Master, you've been working hard these past few days, you should get some rest. Leave the task of picking up the goods to us disciples."

"This……"

Hearing what the other person said, Yi Jiang hesitated for a moment. Yes, she was already very tired.

As the sect leader of Yunkui Mountain, all sorts of trivial matters weighed on Yi Jiang's shoulders. In the past few days, she had been going down the mountain one after another to handle various entrusted tasks, which had already exhausted her both physically and mentally. Now, she also had to coordinate all the procurement of supplies, check accounts, and arrange the route of the transportation team. The long-term tense state had almost drained all her energy.

She raised her hand and gently pressed her throbbing temples. Her eyes held a lingering weariness, and even straightening her back required a bit of effort. A faint trace of languor unconsciously appeared on her lips.

"I see, then I'll trouble you."

After a moment's thought, Yi Jiang finally chose to compromise. Perhaps, just as her sister had said, she should try to rely on someone else.

Upon receiving permission, the disciple's face immediately lit up with joy. After bowing and expressing his gratitude, he excitedly ran among the other disciples to inform them. The other disciples were overjoyed to learn that the sect leader had assigned them the task of escorting the lanterns, and they worked even harder.

"These guys are actually this happy just because they can help her with some of the work, they're such fools..."

Although Yi Jiang said this, the smile that gradually appeared on her lips betrayed her true feelings.

Fortunately, she was not alone. This time, Mu He'er and Mo Yun'er, who had come down the mountain with her, stayed by her side and took on most of the small chores for her.

Mu He'er carefully checked the quantity of food and snacks on the list. Having managed the vegetarian storeroom for many years, she naturally had a unique understanding of this. She counted the tightly sealed candied fruit, smoked meat and fruit wine again and again, for fear of missing anything.

Mo Yun'er was in charge of organizing various lantern parts and amulets. Although she usually didn't care about anything, she had a pair of naturally skillful hands. Her fingertips deftly tied the packages, and in no time, the goods in a small storeroom were all taken care of. The two girls worked together well and relieved a lot of pressure for Yi Jiang.

The sounds of her disciples carrying wooden boxes filled the air, and the bustling city life rushed towards her. Yi Jiang paused for a moment, her gaze unconsciously drifting towards the mountains where Yun Kui Mountain was located.

Thinking of his younger sister Yixuan, who was left on the mountain, and his younger brother Yixue, who had been taken in by them and had only recently found a home, the weariness in his chest dissipated almost entirely, and a warm energy inexplicably spread from the bottom of his heart to his limbs.

This was Xue'er's first day of gold-making after arriving at Yunkui Mountain. She didn't know how he had endured it before, but she knew that he must have been wandering and drifting for a long time. What were the festivals for them were only hunger, cold and loneliness for him. He must have tasted that cold and bitter taste for far too long.

She understood, because she had experienced those days herself.

Yi Jiang slowly clenched her hands at her sides, and a stubborn softness appeared in her originally weary eyes.

She had been caught in the rain before, so she wanted to hold an umbrella for him. She secretly made up her mind that no matter how tired she was, she would make sure that this Tuojin Day was arranged in a perfect manner.

A sumptuous New Year's Eve dinner, lanterns illuminating the mountains, lucky red envelopes and new clothes just for him, and of course, gifts prepared in advance by her and her fellow students—Xue'er should have all the warmth and excitement that others experience.

Yi Jiang patted her cheeks lightly, raised her hand to wipe away the fatigue between her brows, turned around and spoke to the busy disciples, her voice carrying a slight hoarseness, yet it was exceptionally calm and resolute, with a unique gentleness.

"Check all supplies one last time. Choose lanterns that are wind-resistant. Prepare extra snacks for the kids. Have the return carriages and horses inspected beforehand."

"Absolutely correct, not a single mistake is allowed."

As she spoke, she seemed to remember something and continued to add.

"Don't worry about spending too much money. We have enough funds for this trip down the mountain. We must have a lively and exciting gold mining day!"

"oh!!!!!!!"

Yi Jiang waved her arm and shouted, and the disciples around her responded loudly.

Mu He'er looked up from the thick ledger and saw the sect leader's renewed spirits, her eyebrows curving slightly.

No one knew better than her that the reason Yi Jiang was putting on such a brave face was mostly because most of her thoughts were on the two family members who were with her day and night on the mountain, especially a certain little guy who had just started learning.

So, in a way, she did volunteer to go down the mountain, wasn't it also to prepare a surprise for Xue'er?

Speaking of which... what are people doing on Snow Mountain right now?

Based on her understanding, the little guy was probably already out of bed getting ready for his morning exercise. When it came to diligence, no one could compare to Xue'er.

Mu He'er smiled helplessly, then lowered her head to continue sorting out the accounts. If possible, she still hoped that Yi Xue could sleep in more often.

However, she did not notice that in the depths of an alley not far away, a figure dressed in a white robe stood quietly, wearing a scarlet mask that concealed his expression, with a strange scarlet light occasionally shining from his eyes.

"Oh? It's actually Kirihito..."

"Tsk tsk, I've really found some very interesting 'material'~"

At this moment, on Mount Yunkui, in the room of the sect leader's courtyard, Yi Xue slowly woke up on the bed.

He rubbed his sleepy eyes and subconsciously touched the bedding beside him. The soft bedding still had a little warmth, but the person who slept there last night was no longer there.

Realizing this, Yi Xue became a little more awake. He straightened his pajamas, got out of bed, put on some ill-fitting slippers, and walked into the yard in a daze.

The kitchen was lit up, and the aroma of food wafted out from time to time. Drawn by the smell, he subconsciously walked in that direction.

Chapter Ninety: The plan for the day begins in the morning.

Yi Xue gently pushed open the door and entered the house. Following the faint fragrance, she saw a familiar figure working in front of the stove.

"Hmm... The tutorial says to add less salt here, okay... This time it shouldn't be too salty."

Yi Xuan held a salt shaker in one hand and a spatula in the other, occasionally tapping the phone placed to the side to adjust the steps according to the tutorial. As a beginner, she was doing quite well, which could be seen from the smell she had just caught.

Yi Xue didn't go in directly, but peeked in from outside the door. Judging from Yi Xuan's focused expression, he didn't seem to have noticed her arrival.

"Xue'er probably hasn't woken up yet... After all, he played so hard last night. Hmm~ I'll give him the first bite of what I make. Children are growing a lot."

Hearing Yi Xuan's words, which were tinged with a gentle smile, Yi Xue couldn't help but feel warm inside. As she spoke, she looked at the ingredients placed on the kitchen counter: meat, eggs, and milk, all of which were used to supplement protein.

It's unclear whether it was an accident or if Yi Xuan had already developed this awareness.

Turning my gaze back to Yi Xuan, I hadn't had a chance to look closely when she came in, but now that I'm awake, I can see that she's wearing a pink apron. The apron's ties go around her slender waist to her back and are tied in a pretty bow at her waist. The two ends of the apron hang down naturally, gently resting on her shapely curves, swaying slightly with her movements.

Her originally somewhat naive girlish charm has now been enhanced by a touch of intellectual and virtuous beauty.

Ah... I really want to marry her...

"Oh, it's gone."

Just as he was admiring it closely, Yi Xuan accidentally dropped the bottle or jar beside her. As she bent down to pick it up, an even more beautiful sight was revealed.

Yi Xue's gaze unconsciously followed the other's movements. Just as Yi Xuan bent over, the fabric of his Taoist robe tightened, making the originally hazy arc-shaped outline appear incredibly clear. His plump peach-like flesh was facing him, as if it were specially meant to be shown to him. The rounded parts were even more alluring at this moment. He couldn't think of any other adjectives besides "perfect".

Seeing this, the lust that had just subsided last night reignited, and a surge of heat rushed up his spine to the top of his head. Only Yi Xuan and the others could make the originally simple and solemn Yun Kui Daoist robe look so sexy.

I glanced down and saw that it had started again. I wanted to say it was due to unforeseen circumstances... but my inner anticipation betrayed me.

Looking up, Yi Xuan was still trying to pick up the salt shaker that had fallen to the ground. What should have been a quick action now seemed to be taking a lot of effort.

"Ok?"

Yi Xue raised her eyebrows slightly, then seemed to realize something. Just then, Yi Xuan also adjusted his clothes slightly. Two mounds, stretched taut by the Taoist robe, swayed back and forth in front of him. The fabric was stretched very full without a single wrinkle, and it would sway every time she tried to adjust her posture.

Yi Xue subconsciously swallowed. Sister Yi Xuan... she was definitely... teasing herself, wasn't she?
