Starting with a Family System to Become an Immortal Official-Chapter 65: The Feeling of Being Judged

Squeeze~ Squeeze~

Two manly hands are pressing something soft.

"Eeee ♥️"

The moan of a very delicate beauty.

A beauty that has never had her chest touched.

But this man squeezed her breasts like they were made of stone which put her in pain.

"Brother Li~ can you be gentle! ♥️"

She said that but was clearly enjoying it.

After all, this is the same fairy that mercilessly drilled her pink flower with her fingers every night she tried to pleasure herself to a peaceful slumber.

She would pull on her own nipples without restraint.

So even with how painfully her bold junior brother was squeezing... she loved every bit of it.

"Hnnnnnnn ♥️"

This senior sister is truly a dirty lady.

Li Qingmu finally withdrew his hands from Chen Yuling’s bare chest with a satisfied nod.

The soft mounds beneath her robe had grown warmer under his massaging and he could feel the turbulent yin within her meridians quieting.

For now, her supreme yin constitution had fallen into a rare and dormant slumber.

Chen Yuling’s long lashes trembled.

His shameless palms weren’t touching her sticky breasts soaked in sweat anymore.

"Scoundrel!"

She quickly turned her back to him, cheeks bright red as she fumbled with the opened folds of her robe. Her fingers shook while tying the sash and pulling the fabric tight across her still-sensitive skin.

Li Qingmu leaned back on the stool with a grin.

"You really do have a nice pair, Big Sis Chen."

"Sh-, Shut up!"

She snapped without turning around.

But her high and flustered voice did nothing.

A soft grunt escaped her as she yanked the collar higher to hide the faint red marks his thumbs had left around her stiffened nipples.

『This is disgraceful... utterly disgraceful. I actually let a man touch me there. Me, Chen Yuling, reduced to being groped like some common tavern girl...』

Yet even as shame flooded her, another thought slipped traitorously into her mind.

『...But I shouldn’t act so high and mighty. How many nights have I lain alone, using my fingers to imagine it was his hands on me? His mouth... his heat...』

She sighed hopelessly as her shoulders slumped.

"I’m so disappointed in myself..."

She mumbled under her breath.

Li Qingmu let out a quiet sigh of his own.

He’d been watching her with a calm side-eye.

『She doesn’t have much time left. This isn’t even about wanting to bed her—or her mother, for that matter. If she doesn’t fully harmonize with proper yang, that supreme yin will devour her from within.』

He bit a fingernail.

『She’ll die before the next full moon.』

By the time he bit his nail, Chen Yuling had finished dressing and turned back to face him with her emerald eyes still glossy with embarrassment.

"What’s wrong?"

She asked softly with a tilted head.

Li Qingmu stood and dusted off his plain robes.

He hid his worried look with a smile.

"Nothing at all. Come—let’s get something to eat. You must be starving after all that."

Chen Yuling blinked, still lost.

"...Okay?"

══════

Some minutes later.

The two sat across from each other on the low wooden table out on the porch.

Sunlight filtered through the bamboo overhead.

A rich spread of food was before them.

Steamed mountain fish glistening with oil.

Wild greens stir-fried with garlic.

Roasted spirit rabbit.

Bowls of rice and a pot of warm millet wine.

Li Qingmu happily tore into a piece of fish and his cheeks bulged as he chewed.

"Eat."

He said around a mouthful.

"Don’t be shy."

He gestured with his chopsticks.

Chen Yuling lowered her gaze to the dishes.

It was hearty commoner fare.

Nothing like the delicate spirit fruits and lotus petals she was raised on.

The scent was strong, maybe even gamey.

But her stomach let out an unladylike growl.

『Sigh~ I don’t have a choice...』

She picked up her chopsticks hesitantly.

"First you nurse me back to health... now you’re feeding me so eagerly?"

She shot him a suspicious glare.

"Are you just trying to fatten me up like a cow before selling me off to some city lord?"

Li Qingmu nearly choked.

He tried to hold back his laugh.

"PFFFT—!"

But the image was too much.

A snort escaped, then another.

Chen Yuling’s pretty eyes widened curiously.

"Wh—what’s so funny?!"

"S-, Sorry!"

He wheezed as he wiped his handsome face with his sleeve while still laughing.

"I just... I’m trying to picture you as a cow. The horns wouldn’t suit you at all."

Her frown started small.

Those tender lips pursed like an angry kitten.

But the longer she watched him lose composure the harder it became to stay mad.

A soft giggle slipped out, then another.

Soon her sweet, bell-like laughter burst out so she placed a delicate hand over her lips.

"Okay... that’s kind of funny."

She admitted as she laughed.

Li Qingmu nodded and pointed at her untouched bowl with his chopsticks.

"Eat. You’ll need strength if you plan to kick my ass for staring at your chest all day."

Chen Yuling’s cheeks puffed out.

She raised a small, tight fist.

"Hmph! Now I’m fired up!"

Li Qingmu froze mid-bite to stare at her in surprise.

Chen Yuling tilted her head.

"What?"

"Nothing. I... didn’t expect you to be this lively."

Her smile turned solemn.

She lowered her gaze to the table.

"I only act plain in front of my peak sisters. If I show too much personality, someone will find a reason to judge me. If I stay quiet and distant... no one has anything bad to say and I feel that’s much safer for me."

She traced the rim of her bowl with one finger.

"I know how I look. I’m beautiful. Most people... both men and women alike only care about the outside of a person and never the inside."

Her eyes grew sadder.

"That part never matters." 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

She finally picked up her chopsticks and began eating.

She took small, refined bites that somehow made even simple rabbit meat look elegant.

Li Qingmu watched her and nodded.

"I won’t pretend I don’t understand. No one likes being judged."

She nodded and chewed peacefully.

Until his next words came, stern and direct.

"Then why do you judge men so harshly?"

Her chopsticks froze halfway to her mouth.

"...Do I need a reason to hate men?"

"You don’t hate men."

"I do."

"You don’t."

"I do!"

They went back and forth three times.

Then Chen Yuling slammed her fist on the table.

"Fine! I don’t hate men! If that’s what you want to hear then yes—I don’t hate them at all!"

The admission left her covered in shame.

She lowered her head to hide her watering eyes.

"What I hate... is this stupid constitution."

Her voice cracked.

"Because of it, my cultivation has been stuck for years. The only way past the bottleneck is dual cultivation—losing my primal yin to a man. But every time I even hint at it... their eyes change. They get excited, greedy. They stop seeing me as a person and start seeing a tool. A cauldron to boost their realm... or some loose woman who must have bedded half the continent already."

Tears slipped down her cheeks.

Plop! Plop!

They fell silently into her soup.

"Do you know how that feels?"

She subconsciously covered up her cleavage.

"To be ruthlessly judged and looked at like meat the moment they learn what I am?"

In the nearby bushes, two small faces peeked out.

Li Er and Li Zimo.

They both felt bad for the beautiful big sister.

Chen Yuling lifted her head and wiped her face with the back of her hand.

"That’s why I stopped leaving the peak. The fewer men I see... the less I have to think about it."

Out of frustration, she grabbed a huge pile of food with her chopsticks and stuffed it into her small mouth as her cheeks bulged like a greedy chipmunk.

She nearly choked.

Li Qingmu swiftly reached over and gently took the chopsticks from her hand.

"Calm down."

He told her so softly it was almost affectionate.

She glared at him through watery eyes, but didn’t fight it.

He set the chopsticks aside and met her gaze.

"There is a way for you to fully control your physique and break through your bottleneck."

He held her hand and she let him.

Chen Yuling doesn’t know why she did that.

But this junior brother deserves to hold her hand.

His face got closer to hers like he wanted to kiss her.

In the state she’s in, Chen Yuling will kiss him.

But Li Qingmu refused to take advantage.

"You’ll never be chained by it again."

Her breath hitched.

"Don’t play with me..."

"I’m not playing."

His voice was deadly serious.

"I mean it."

She clicked her tongue and withdrew her hand.

『I think I looked at his lips for too long...』

She pictured his pretty lips again.

『What was I thinking?』

She cleared her throat to feel less weird about it.

"Fine. Speak."

Li Qingmu leaned forward slightly.

"Become my third wife. Let me take your primal yin. My Dragon Fertility Dao Body carries pure yang of the highest grade. One fantastic night with me will likely boost your suppressed cultivation."

Chen Yuling’s face turned a little red

She’s like a pretty tomato.

"Th-, Third wife?!"

He nodded calmly.

"Your mother will be my second."

Her eyes went owl-wide.

"HUH!?"
