Chapter 27: I’ll Take Care of Your Sister for You!

To be honest, Luo Xing still hadn't fully figured out these so-called skills. All he knew was that he could gain experience points from certain actions, and those points could be used to strengthen his original skills or develop new ones.

But...

These skills seemed pretty useless, didn't they?

[Massage: 1/10]

[Touch Dao: 1/10]

[Fire Making Lv.1: 12/20]

[Fire Control: 6/10]

[Cooking Lv1: 4/20]

[Knife Skills: 8/10]

[Cultivation: 8/10]

[Breathing Technique: 7/10]

[Tea Art: 6/10]

[Running: 6/10]

Look at this!

Just look at all this nonsense!

Aside from [Cultivation] and [Fire Control], what use were any of the other skills?

Absolutely useless!

Stingy author! Can't even play fair! (Pointing fingers)

Ugh!

But even so, Luo Xing still held onto hope for this seemingly useless system...

What if?

What if one day he suddenly developed an awesome, earth-shattering skill?

Hope...

One had to have it, right?

After all, this was his only source of help right now...

Wait a minute?

Didn't he also have a Sword Heart?

Luo Xing hadn't forgotten. Ye Li had dragged him to the Sword Tomb specifically so he could obtain a Sword Heart. For a sword cultivator, that was also a pretty significant boost...

But the problem was...

What was his Sword Heart?

Where was it?

How did he use it?

One thing Luo Xing was sure of: he definitely had a Sword Heart. Otherwise, Ye Li wouldn't have brought him back. She would have waited for him to wake up in the Sword Tomb and then had tens of thousands of sword energies chase after him, trying to chop him to pieces...

No joke, Ye Li was absolutely capable of doing something like that.

But even though he possessed a Sword Heart, Luo Xing had no idea how to use it. He didn't even know where this thing was. At least that damn system was visible in his mind...

Tsk...

Felt like he'd been chased by sword energies for a whole month for nothing...

Absolutely useless!

Ugh!

Luo Xing walked out of his room, planning to cook himself a good meal to comfort his stomach, which had been empty for a month.

Although he was now at the late Qi Refining stage, he hadn't reached Foundation Establishment where he could abstain from food. At most, his constitution was just a bit stronger, so he wouldn't starve to death, but he still got hungry.

Besides, even if he could abstain from food in the future, Luo Xing didn't plan on giving up the habit of eating.

After all, only by eating well could he feel like he was truly living, not just surviving...

Right?

But as soon as he stepped outside, he saw a short-haired girl in a yellow dress. Her face was like polished jade, her almond-shaped eyes held a delicate charm, her face was round...

Wait!

This description...

......

Chen Anqi was utterly lost, because this was already the fourth time she'd gone to the wrong place...

First, she went to Luoxia Peak, then she ended up at Xian Yun Peak, after that she almost ran right out of the mountain gate, and now...

How had she wound up at Duan Tian Peak?!

This was Duan Tian Peak!

The very location of Supreme Elder Ye Li's abode!

Just then, Chen Anqi saw someone emerge from the wooden cabin. She instinctively assumed it was Ye Li and immediately turned to leave!

"Senior Sister Chen! Please wait!"

......

The girl turned back in surprise. Seeing her face, Luo Xing was now even more certain of her identity!

Chen Anqi, the second personal disciple of Pei Qingshuang, and also one of only two people in the original story who wanted to save Luo Han from Ye Li's clutches.

The reason Luo Xing guessed her identity so quickly was because of her short hair.

She was the only one in the entire Xuantian Sect with short hair...

And also...

Her eyes always held a clear, foolish...

Ahem...

Innocent... quality.

"Senior Sister Chen?" Luo Xing pretended not to know her, smiling at Chen Anqi. "Could the visitor be Senior Sister Chen Anqi?"

"You... know me?" Chen Anqi asked, puzzled.

"Yes," Luo Xing nodded. "A while ago, I heard my sister mention that she had a beautiful, kind-hearted, warm, and helpful second senior sister who took very good care of her. So I guessed you must be that Senior Sister Chen Anqi."

Naturally, Luo Han had never said any of this. Luo Xing knew it all from the original story.

Pei Qingshuang had two disciples: the eldest, Dai Zifu, and the second, Chen Anqi.

Dai Zifu was outwardly cold but inwardly warm, bold yet meticulous, and always looked out for her juniors. Chen Anqi was warm-hearted, chivalrous, and a veritable good-natured person.

Especially Chen Anqi. In the original story, she was the second person to discover that Luo Han was being abused by Ye Li. She then tried every possible method to save the pitiful Luo Han, though she never succeeded. Later, she was almost torn apart alive by Ye Li, saved only by the intervention of Sect Master Bai Li Qin Mo, Pei Qingshuang, and several other elders.

That was why, upon learning that Luo Han had become Pei Qingshuang's disciple, Luo Xing said it would be hard for her to die even if she wanted to.

Because the master and disciples of Yunyan Peak were famously good people. Especially since the stingy author had given Pei Qingshuang the trait of being fiercely protective of her disciples, treating them all equally without favoritism.

"Your sister... Ah!" Hearing Luo Xing's words, Chen Anqi finally remembered who he was. "You're Little Junior Sister's brother!"

Come to think of it, he was still alive?

"Yes," Luo Xing nodded. "Thank you, Senior Sister Chen, for taking care of my sister all this time."

"Taking care... Ahaha... It's only right, only right..." Chen Anqi looked away somewhat awkwardly, scratching her head. "After all, she's... she's my little junior sister... Ahahaha..."

Just... if you find out something later, please don't chase me with a sword trying to cut me down...

Chen Anqi had a secret no one knew about. Not a single person in the entire Xuantian Sect, not even Pei Qingshuang herself, was aware...

She had never been interested in men...

But she was very interested in women...

Extremely interested...

It was just that she usually didn't dare show it too obviously due to the environment.

And when she saw Luo Han, that long-dormant part of her heart, quiet for over ten years, gave a fierce, powerful throb...

So beautiful...

Such a pure little junior sister...

Unaware that his sister was once again in imminent danger, Luo Xing instead took Chen Anqi's hand. "Sigh, Senior Sister, you know as well as I do that I only have a medium-grade spiritual root. I'm afraid I won't achieve much on the path of cultivation. In the future, I probably won't be able to help my sister much. So... I hope you will take good care of my sister from now on. Luo Xing thanks you in advance, Senior Sister."

So what if he couldn't go out?

Just because he couldn't go out didn't mean he couldn't find external help, right?

Wasn't there a ready-made helper delivered right to his doorstep?

With Chen Anqi's personality, plus the fact that he was her junior sister's brother, when he was being abused by Ye Li in the future, wouldn't it be unreasonable for her not to come save him?

Of course, Luo Xing had considered revealing the truth, but he felt that even if he said something now, probably no one would believe him...

Meanwhile, to Chen Anqi, Luo Xing's words carried a completely different meaning...

"I'm afraid I won't achieve much on the path of cultivation" (My life is probably set like this.)

"I probably won't be able to help my sister much" (My lifespan won't be long; I can't accompany my sister for much longer.)

"I hope you will take good care of my sister from now on" (I entrust my sister to your care from now on.)

...

"Sigh! Junior Brother Luo, what kind of talk is that!" Chen Anqi clasped Luo Xing's hand in return, her eyes shining with excitement. "Your sister is also my junior sister! Of course I'll take care of her! I can take care of her for a lifetime!"

Originally, she had planned to warn Luo Xing to be extra careful. After all, that Ye Li was notoriously moody within the sect, not even giving face to the Sect Master. Who knew if one day he might...

But forget it. Looking at him, he probably wouldn't believe her even if she told him...

It's fine!

I'll take care of your sister for you!

You needn't worry!

"Then I thank you, Senior Sister Chen!"

"Ah! Why still call me Senior Sister Chen! Just call me Senior Sister!"

"Alright! Senior Sister!"

"No problem! Junior Brother!"

"Senior Sister!"

"Junior Brother!"

"When did This Elder learn that Duan Tian Peak had gained another disciple?"

Just as the two were "reaching a deep understanding" and were about to become sworn siblings on the spot, an icy voice suddenly came from behind Luo Xing...
