CHAPTER 914: CHAPTER 911: GOD-SISTER

"Is it appropriate for you to call me sister?" Nalan Yanran’s face showed a trace of surprise.

If Xu Wendong called her Sect Leader Nalan, or aunt, she could accept it.

After all, she was the elder.

But calling her sister caused her heart to flutter.

Because she couldn’t remember how many years it had been since anyone had called her that.

"It seems a little inappropriate." Xu Wendong showed a naive expression, scratching his head, "It’s just... in my life, all beautiful women should be called sister!"

Nalan Yanran’s heart skipped a beat, she didn’t expect Xu Wendong to say such a thing.

She forced herself to remain calm, smiled and said, "As long as you like it, you can call me whatever you want."

Xu Wendong inwardly disagreed.

If I called you baby, would you agree?

Despite this, he pretended to be happy and asked, "In that case, doesn’t Brother Wan have to call me little uncle?"

Nalan Yanran looked embarrassed, "Um... if you call me sister, indeed my son should call you little uncle."

Xu Wendong quickly shook his head, "No, no, no, how could I take advantage of Brother Wan?"

"There’s nothing wrong with that!" Nalan Yanran smiled brightly, "After all, you’ve previously saved a Heavenly Pride of the Yongzhou Cultivation World, you’re considered a benefactor to our Yongzhou Cultivation World."

"As they say, a life-saving grace surpasses everything, it wouldn’t be improper for my son to call you uncle."

Strangely.

When she heard Xu Wendong decline to call her sister, she felt a pang of disappointment.

Xu Wendong nodded excitedly, "Then I’ll dare to call you god-sister!"

Nalan Yanran’s face instantly blushed charmingly, like a shy little woman.

She inexplicably felt that the term god-sister was somewhat improper.

Xu Wendong asked curiously, "God-sister, why are you here at this late hour?"

Nalan Yanran snapped out of it, replied, "I heard you previously saved my son, so I specifically came to visit."

Xu Wendong understood, promptly made an inviting gesture, "Sister, please come inside!"

"It’s late, sister won’t enter your courtyard." Nalan Yanran smiled brightly, taking out a Jade Gourd, "Inside is my sect’s special Hundred Bone Wine, a gift to you, as a thank you."

Xu Wendong immediately put on a stern face, "We already consider ourselves siblings, isn’t saying that too formal? If I accept your Hundred Bone Wine, wouldn’t that be slapping my own face?"

Nalan Yanran didn’t expect Xu Wendong to suddenly act sternly, feeling nervous because it had been thousands of years since anyone had gotten angry at her.

Without much thinking, she immediately said, "Brother, I didn’t mean it like that..."

"I..."

"You..."

"Alright, alright, let’s just consider this jar of Hundred Bone Wine as a testimony of our sibling bond, would that be fine?"

Seeing her full of tension, Xu Wendong sighed, "Since that’s the case, I humbly accept. How about tomorrow at noon, I host a banquet at the Listening Rain Pavilion to entertain god-sister, I hope you can grace us with your presence!"

Seeing Xu Wendong wasn’t angry anymore, Nalan Yanran also relaxed, smiled slightly, "Alright, then we’ll meet at the Listening Rain Pavilion tomorrow!"

Xu Wendong put away the jar of Hundred Bone Wine carefully, whispered, "Let’s go, I’ll see you home!"

Nalan Yanran, "No need, I can go back myself."

Xu Wendong disagreed, shaking his head, "It’s late at night, how can I be assured that sister would go back alone?"

Nalan Yanran smiled wryly, "This is Yanzhou City, the safest place in all Nine Provinces, nothing will happen to me."

Xu Wendong said, "I know this is Yanzhou City, and I know sister is a Golden Core Peak expert, but so what?"

"Since we call ourselves siblings, as a younger brother, I have a duty to see sister home safely at night."

"Even if there’s no danger on the road, at least there’s companionship."

Boom!

A simple sentence was like a bolt from the blue in Nalan Yanran’s mind.

Xu Wendong’s words, ’Even if there’s no danger on the road, at least there’s companionship,’ deeply touched her heart.

Because.

She had been alone for a long time, so long that her heart was numb, lacking the motivation to live.

And now.

She suddenly understood.

It’s not that the world isn’t colorful enough.

But there’s no one to share life with!

At this moment.

Her gaze towards Xu Wendong softened, maybe he was liked by women not just because he’s handsome.

Nor because his deeds were astonishing.

But.

He understood a woman’s heart!

"Since that’s the case, I’ll trouble brother to see me home!" Nalan Yanran smiled, walking side by side with Xu Wendong under the night sky.

The hazy starlight and moonlight cascaded over the two of them.

Upon the quiet Yanzhou City.

As if eternal.

"I heard you came from the mundane world?" Nalan Yanran broke the silence, curiously asking.

Xu Wendong responded with a sound, the matter of him coming from the mundane world was not secret.

Nalan Yanran’s eyes flashed with longing, "The mundane world, must be very prosperous, right?"

Xu Wendong, "Technology is quite advanced, if sister wishes to visit the mundane world, once I find my mother, I’ll take you to experience life there."

Nalan Yanran curiously asked, "Is your mother in the Nine Provinces?"

"Yes." Xu Wendong sighed lightly, "But I don’t know where she is."

"By the way, sister, do you know the surname Luo?"

Nalan Yanran shook her head, "The Minor World within the Nine Provinces has many surnames, but I’ve never heard of the Luo Clan."

Xu Wendong shrugged, smiling, "Actually, not finding it is not that big of a deal."

Nalan Yanran looked surprised, "Not finding your birth mother, don’t you feel regret?"

Xu Wendong shook his head, "Finding mother would surely lead to disappointment, but I don’t feel regret, because I’ve tried my best to look, that’s enough!"

"For some things, results are important, but what matters more is the process." His demeanor was calm, revealing a carefree attitude.

Nalan Yanran admired Xu Wendong’s mindset, as anyone else could hardly be as carefree as he was.

During the conversation, Nalan Yanran arrived at her residence.

She suddenly regretted.

Shouldn’t have walked so quickly.

Because if she walked slower, she could have spent more time with Xu Wendong.

Xu Wendong said, "Sister, it’s getting late, you should rest early!"

Nalan Yanran hesitated, then gathered her courage and nervously asked, "Why don’t you come in and sit for a while?"

She knew inviting a man to her residence at night was inappropriate, but she couldn’t bear to part with Xu Wendong.

Because being with Xu Wendong, she felt particularly relaxed, without any pressure, and he did not treat her as the high and mighty Sect Master of the Myriad Beast Sect.

Xu Wendong chuckled bitterly, "Maybe next time, if I don’t go back now, my sister-in-law will definitely devour me."

Nalan Yanran laughed, "You fear women?"

"That’s called love, how can it be fear? You should go in, I’m heading back now!" Xu Wendong said with a smile, then turned his back and waved, gradually disappearing from Nalan Yanran’s sight.

Just turning a corner into an alley, Xu Wendong encountered an intoxicated Wan Jie.

"Junior Brother Xu, why are you here?" Wan Jie asked drunkenly.

Xu Wendong, "I just escorted your mom back."

Wan Jie suddenly shivered, his cloudy eyes flashing a cold light, "Why were you with my mother this late at night?"
