How to Be the Perfect Junior Sister to a Reborn Villain - Chapter 15.1

Chapter 15.1

Li Xi’s meditation lasted for a full ten days. When she finally opened her eyes, her stomach was growling so loudly it almost echoed in the room.

After casting Cleanse on herself three times in a row, she raised her voice and called out to her all-purpose maid, “Xiao Cui, I want food!”

The one who came wasn’t Xiao Cui, it was her Third Senior Brother, Yan Jiuzhi.

The handsome young man, dressed in plain blue robes, was walking toward her, holding a small bowl in his hands.

Li Xi froze. A sense of doom washed over her.

With a sharp bang, she slammed the door shut.

Leaning against it, she silently screamed in her heart.

 Aaaah! I haven’t even cleaned up yet!

She’d expelled so many impurities while cultivating! Even though she’d just used cleansing spells, she still felt grimy. Her hair was a mess, her clothes were wrinkled, and worst of all, her room still smelled weird!

Yan Jiuzhi:

He stared at the tightly closed door for a long moment before knocking politely.

 Little Junior Sister?

“Wait a minute! Just a minute!”

Inside, Li Xi scrambled around like a headless chicken, throwing on a clean set of clothes and tying her hair into a quick bun. After checking herself three times in the mirror to make sure she looked somewhat decent, she finally opened the door only to immediately step outside and pull it shut behind her.

No one could ever smell what was inside that room. Absolutely not.

Yan Jiuzhi said nothing. He simply set up a small table in the courtyard and placed the bowl down.

“Little Junior Sister, have some noodles first. Granny Wu is cooking you a proper meal.”

His eyes flicked briefly to her new hairstyle, and he sighed inwardly. No wonder she wanted a maid she can’t even manage her own hair.

Li Xi, however, was far too hungry to care about appearances. She sat down and practically inhaled the bowl of noodles, finishing everything including the broth within moments.

The noodles were fragrant with sesame oil and sprinkled with scallions simple, warm, and delicious.

She lifted her gaze, wide-eyed and hopeful, staring at her senior brother with the silent plea of a starving kitten. She wanted more.

Yan Jiuzhi reached into his sleeve and pulled out a small jade bottle. “How about a fasting pill?”

Li Xi immediately turned her head away. “No. Those taste terrible.”

She’d tried one once, back when she was curious. Sure, her stomach hadn’t felt empty but the psychological hunger was unbearable. What’s the point of not being hungry if it doesn’t feel like you’ve eaten?

Still, she couldn’t wait to share her good news. “Senior Brother, the bead you gave me it’s a legacy item! There’s a cultivation method inside called Water Wood Moonlight Immortal Art!”

Yan Jiuzhi listened as she launched into an enthusiastic, breathless explanation of the technique, describing every discovery in detail until he couldn’t get a single word in.

Finally, she puffed out her chest proudly. “Senior Brother, I can become an alchemist now! The inheritance teaches alchemy! And I can use healing and purification spells too!”

Yan Jiuzhi rubbed his temples helplessly. Thank heavens he’d already placed a sound barrier around the area. “You mustn’t tell anyone about this again,” he warned. “These things are your hidden cards.”

Li Xi pouted. “I didn’t tell anyone else I’m only telling you, Senior Brother!”

She didn’t think she’d done anything wrong. After all, the inheritance came from his gift; of course she wanted to share it with him. She wasn’t stupid she hadn’t revealed the chants or heart formulas, just the parts that were visible when used. Those couldn’t be hidden anyway, so it was better to be upfront.

Besides, she was still a total newbie to cultivation and needed his guidance.

In her eyes, her Third Senior Brother was obviously a hidden powerhouse her fiery little intuition told her so.

What she didn’t know was that even if she wanted to reveal the actual incantations, she couldn’t. The legacy bead bound its teachings directly into the soul, protected by ancient laws its core secrets could never be spoken aloud.

Yan Jiuzhi himself hadn’t expected her to actually unlock it.

He had found the bead in an underground cavern within the Sanglin Secret Realm. In his past life, he hadn’t been able to figure out what it was for, so he’d simply tossed it aside.

Looking back, the divine statue and the intricate runes carved around that cavern were obvious signs of a legacy site.

He must never have met the conditions to activate it. Even though he’d kept the bead for two lifetimes, it had never responded to him.

Now he finally understood why the legacy required a woman with both Water and Wood spiritual roots at full purity, and a natural affinity with moonlight.

Such impossible requirements and his little junior sister happened to meet them all perfectly. Clearly, this was her destiny.

A disciple with this kind of potential and fortune would one day become the pillar of the Yunxiao Sect.

Li Xi, the supposed “pillar,” was currently sipping her noodle broth, completely oblivious to the way her senior brother was already devising a full plan for her cultivation and future.

But when he heard her describe how she’d activated the bead, his composure cracked. A vein twitched at his temple.

You mean you tried to bind it with bl00d without knowing what it was?! What if it were a vessel for soul possession? Or a demonic parasite?! Or a cursed object?!

When he first saw her, the bead had simply come to mind, so he’d handed it over. Later, he’d worried she’d be disappointed if it didn’t work, so he hadn’t warned her much.

Now, seeing her completely unbothered attitude, he realized he’d been far too optimistic.

He never imagined she had zero sense of danger and would just experiment blindly like that.

Truly, this was all the fault of those ridiculous cultivation novels.
