Versatile Sword Cultivator

Chapter 92 – Senior sister kissed him voluntarily

"Junior brother, you're so good to me. You even bought me romance novels. Only you would spoil me like this. My father and grandfather never would."

Nangong Yue held her beloved romance novel, her eyes misting over.

Her father and grandfather disapproved of her reading such mundane books, thinking they were a waste of time.

Only Lin Jichen knew what she liked best and always prepared it in advance, touching her deeply.

"Sister, I remember you said we don't need to be so formal with each other."

Lin Jichen smiled lightly.

"Yes, but I'm just so moved. Junior brother, will you always be this good to me?" Nangong Yue asked, her face slightly flushed.

"Of course. I'm not talented, and my heart is narrow. I can only fit one person in it, and that's you, Sister." Lin Jichen replied without hesitation.

Lin Jichen's sweet words flowed effortlessly, not because he had suddenly become a love saint.

But because these were lines he had painstakingly learned in his previous life to pursue Guo Jie.

Guo Jie often demanded that Lin Jichen meet all her material needs and fulfill her romantic fantasies.

So Lin Jichen studied romantic lines diligently every day, and over time, he maxed out his skills in this area.

Of course, before saying these words, he still nervously glanced around, afraid that Leng Feiyan might hear.

Nangong Yue turned her head, her earlobes a bit red.

"It's getting late, Junior brother. I have to go back. If my father and grandfather find out I didn't come home, they'll be worried."

Lin Jichen nodded and said, "Alright, I'll walk you back."

"Okay."

The two continued walking together, heading out of the city.

Perhaps reluctant to part, Nangong Yue deliberately walked very slowly, and Lin Jichen accompanied her, walking slowly as well.

But eventually, they reached the teleportation array.

"Junior brother, let's go separately like we did when we came. Otherwise, I'm afraid my father will see us..."

"Alright, you go first." Lin Jichen agreed with the plan.

Please, he was also quite scared...

"By the way, Junior brother, I might have to leave the Sword Sect for a while."

"Why?"

Nangong Yue explained, "My father wants to take me to Yongbian City to attend the Sword Sect Conference. It's an annual event held by all the Sword Sects in the four provinces. Only disciples above the Crystal Realm can participate. I just broke through to the Golden Elixir stage, and my father wants me to gain some experience and bring honor to our sect."

Lin Jichen nodded in understanding. Such events did exist.

His spell cultivation sect had the same practice, with different professional sects in each of the four provinces.

Every year, disciples in the Crystal Realm would compete for the top spot.

When he broke through to the Crystal Realm, he had also participated but only achieved a low rank.

There was no helping it; Mu Xian Province was strongest in artifact cultivation, while spell cultivation was strongest in Yongning Province.

Now their Tianyan Sword Sect was in Mu Xian Province, and he believed Nangong Yue could definitely take first place.

"Then I wish you victory, Sister, and may you defeat all your opponents until they beg for mercy."

Pfft~

Nangong Yue was amused but still stared at Lin Jichen with eyes full of reluctance.

She would be gone for at least half a month before she could see her junior brother again.

"Every Sword Sect Conference has prizes. Junior brother, wait for me to take first place and bring the prize back for you."

"How could I accept that? Just a small token will do."

Lin Jichen feigned modesty, but he was already looking forward to it. Living off a woman? He loved it!

"Oh, right, I also have a gift for you."

Lin Jichen remembered the gift he had bought earlier. He had given one to Leng Feiyan, and the other was for Nangong Yue.

He took out the gift, a sapphire necklace. The necklace was exquisite, masterfully crafted, and brimming with spiritual energy.

It was a spiritual treasure, just like the one he had given Leng Feiyan, and it had cost him over ten thousand spirit stones.

"I carefully selected this. I thought it would look beautiful on you, Sister. Do you like it?"

Nangong Yue looked at the necklace, her eyes sparkling. She nodded and, blushing, said softly, "Junior brother... could you help me put it on?"

Lin Jichen naturally wouldn't refuse. He walked behind Nangong Yue, holding the necklace, and carefully placed it around her swan-like neck.

Nangong Yue's cheeks were already red, and even her neck was flushed.

Especially when Lin Jichen's hand accidentally touched her neck or collarbone, she felt a tingling sensation, like an electric shock.

Finally, the necklace was on.

"Does it look good?" Nangong Yue asked eagerly.

Lin Jichen smiled and replied, "Saying it looks good is an understatement. You look stunning, like a heavenly immortal!"

"Flatterer~" Nangong Yue said, embarrassed and playful.

It was getting late, and Nangong Yue knew she had to go back. Otherwise, her father and grandfather would come looking for her.

"Junior brother, I'm leaving."

"Alright, Sister, take care. I'll be waiting for your triumphant return at the sect. But victory or not, your safety is what matters most."

Lin Jichen waved, and Nangong Yue walked towards the teleportation array, turning back every few steps.

Just as she was about to step into the array, Nangong Yue suddenly turned around and ran back to Lin Jichen.

She stood on tiptoe and gave him a quick peck on the cheek.

Then, without looking back, she blushed deeply and teleported away.

Before leaving, Lin Jichen received another affection level notification, but he had no time to pay attention to it.

The scent of Nangong Yue's lips still lingered on his face.

His senior sister had kissed him voluntarily. The happiness came so suddenly that Lin Jichen was caught off guard.

It was a while after Nangong Yue left before he reluctantly turned to head back.

The scene of Nangong Yue kissing Lin Jichen was seen by many players outside the city.

It immediately caused a stir.

"Damn! I thought players couldn't have intimate interactions? How come they can kiss?"

"Idiot, that's not a player. That's an NPC. Lin Jichen got kissed by a female NPC!"

"I saw it too. And the NPC is so beautiful. Why don't I have this kind of luck?"

"I've been chasing a female senior sister NPC from the Saber Sect for a long time, but she doesn't even look at me. Why is that?"

"This Lin Jichen is disgusting. Flirting with game NPCs? What's the point? What a fat nerd, laughable!"

...

Before long, the scene of Lin Jichen being kissed by a female NPC was posted on the forums.

It sparked quite a discussion.

Some were envious and wanted to be favored by female NPCs like Lin Jichen.

Some mocked him, calling him a delusional otaku who couldn't even let a bunch of game data go.

Some were jealous, speculating that the NPC must be promiscuous and unself-respecting. They had also tried to flirt with NPCs but got no response.

In short, there were all kinds of comments, but they all revolved around one word: envy!
