Whatever tricks you have, use them on your brothers

Her mind utterly focused, Gan Tang paid no attention to anything else.

She spread the soft, fluffy ring with her hands, her movements very light and slow.

The cool, velvety texture on the inside of the ring, slightly elastic, rubbed against the delicate surface of the white stocking, sliding inch by inch from Lu Qiancha’s bare, warm ankle as she pulled it gently upwards…

The subtle, slowly increasing circular pressure, combined with the ticklish sensation of the velvet texture rubbing against the sensitive skin beneath the stocking…

“Ngh—ooh~ Itchy…”

Lu Qiancha couldn’t help but twitch her waist slightly, a soft, delicate protest escaping her nose.

“C-Can you… please… hurry up?”

Her toes were curling up inside her stocking.

“Then, Senior Brother, lift your leg a little higher.”

“Oh…”

Lu Qiancha gritted her teeth and tried to raise her leg to an unnaturally high angle, causing the hem of her skirt to slide down drastically with the movement.

“Uh… actually, it doesn’t need to be that high…” Gan Tang was just about to suggest an adjustment when her gaze was instantly drawn by the raised leg—sweeping across a small section of the hem of her undergarment, exposed from deep within the skirt.

It was an exceptionally clean and soft trim, with delicate ruffles of sky blue and white.

It was particularly striking against the backdrop of the white stocking top.

Gan Tang blinked her large, round eyes subconsciously, blurting out, “Eh? Senior Brother, when did you change your underpants?”

Her tone was full of the amazement of discovering a new continent.

She then added sincerely, from the bottom of her heart: “Light blue and white with tiny floral edging! So cute! They totally suit you, Senior Brother!”

The words had barely left her mouth when—

SMACK!

A flash of white light appeared before her eyes.

A small foot wrapped in a white stocking, with astonishing force and embarrassment.

Without warning, and with considerable force, it landed squarely on Gan Tang’s face.

Accurately covering her astonishingly outspoken mouth and half of her nose.

Caught completely off guard, Gan Tang was kicked over by Lu Qiancha’s foot.

“Pervert!!!”

A shriek of mortified anger pierced the small courtyard’s tranquility.

Lu Qiancha’s face was as red as blood, and steam practically poured from her head.

“I’ll stomp you to death, stomp you to death!”

Lu Qiancha was both ashamed and furious, her head practically steaming from embarrassment.

While roaring, the movements of her foot never stopped.

The small foot in the white stocking acted like a pile driver, stomping on Gan Tang’s face one after another.

“I was wrong, Senior Brother! Stop kicking me! Stop kicking me!”

Gan Tang was completely stunned, quickly hugging her head with both hands and curling up on the ground in defense. Although the small foot in the white stocking was actually soft against her face, not very forceful, and didn’t hurt at all, it was never her intention to make Senior Brother angry.

She felt that she was really wronged. She had just wanted to praise Lu Qiancha’s outfit for being cute and suitable, but she had been branded a pervert…

But Lu Qiancha, enraged, couldn’t hear a word the other was saying, and she angrily repeated the movements from before.

Seeing that words were useless, Gan Tang said nothing more, thinking to herself, ‘Oh well, I’ll apologize after Senior Brother has vented his anger.’

Just as the embarrassed, angry little foot in the white stocking was stamping repeatedly on Gan Tang’s face and Lu Qiancha’s muttered complaints were in full swing—

Suddenly, her collar tightened, and her feet left the ground.

Lu Qiancha only felt her view suddenly rise. It was as if she had been abruptly lifted off the ground by an invisible fishing line.

“?!”

The sudden shock of weightlessness caused Lu Qiancha to jerk her head around—

Only to see Xuan Ya, wearing a moon-white Daoist robe and possessing a temperament as pure and aloof as a celestial immortal from the Ninth Heaven. At this moment, she was gripping the back of Lu Qiancha’s collar with a profound gaze and a frosty expression, holding her suspended in mid-air.

Seeing that familiar face, Lu Qiancha’s heart gave a violent thump.

‘Crap, wasn’t Master supposed to be taking a relaxing stroll down the mountain?!’

How could she have suddenly and silently appeared behind her?!

Alarm bells rang wildly in her brain, and she was just about to open her mouth to say something.

“Master!”

In the nick of time.

A blue and pink shadow suddenly darted out.

Gan Tang acted like a mother cat protecting her kittens. She lightning-fast snatched back the azure little wolf cub being held in mid-air by Xuan Ya.

Then, she hugged her tightly, her movements so swift that they stirred up a small gust of wind.

A sweet and simple smile instantly appeared on her face, a smile that… also contained a hint of frantically disguised panic.

“Ehehehe, Master, what are you doing back? Weren’t you going out for a stroll?”

Xuan Ya did not retract her empty hand, but slowly placed it behind her, her gaze sweeping over Gan Tang’s obviously guilty expression as she spoke calmly, “I was walking beneath the waterfall behind the mountain just now when I heard a piercing scream rend the air from this peak…”

The words were left unfinished, but the meaning was perfectly clear: This teacher heard all the chaos and commotion coming from this peak. Don’t you plan to explain yourselves?

“Ah! That… that sound…” Sweat began to seep out of Gan Tang’s forehead, and her brain began to run at CPU-burning speeds. “It… it was this disciple! This disciple just… just slipped accidentally! Crash!“

She made a clumsy, flailing gesture as if she were tripping.

“I fell on my butt! It hurt so much! I couldn’t help but shout… hehehehe…”

Gan Tang’s smile was stiff, and her eyes darted about like willow catkins scattered by a strong wind.

Xuan Ya lightly flicked her horsetail whisk, glancing at Gan Tang’s guilty eyes, and didn’t bother to expose her lie.

“Ngh… ooh…”

Lu Qiancha, being firmly “sealed” in Gan Tang’s embrace, couldn’t take it anymore after hearing that ridiculously bad excuse.

She twisted her small body, her blue tail whipping wildly in a frantic attempt to break free.

What kind of terrible excuse was that?! She might as well explain (fabricate) it herself.

Sensing the intense struggles of her senior brother in her arms, Gan Tang trembled with fear.

She tightened her arms fiercely, activating all her locking techniques. She pressed the agitated blue furball tightly against her chest.

At this moment, Gan Tang’s heart was howling wildly: ‘Senior Brother! Stop moving! Stop moving! I’m trying to help you deal with Master!’

At this moment, Gan Tang’s mind was both thinking about how to deal with Master and how to appease Senior Brother, running on two tracks.

Just as the dual-track mind was approaching the critical point of overload.

Crack.

It was as if a string snapped in Gan Tang’s mind.

An idea that she thought was absolutely brilliant suddenly exploded in her brain—

Telepathic message.

Gan Tang’s intention, like grabbing at a life-saving straw, pressed down fiercely on Lu Qiancha, who was still struggling.

“Senior Brother! If you move around again, I’ll reveal to Master that you turned into a little loli!”

Lu Qiancha suddenly stopped struggling. “???”

Her small head tilted up with difficulty from within Gan Tang’s painfully tight embrace.

Her large, watery blue eyes were filled with confusion as they met Gan Tang’s gaze.

Seeing that her threat had worked, Gan Tang felt a surge of confidence and immediately added, telepathically: “Senior Brother—” She deliberately drawled out the words, her mind filled with villainous tones learned from trashy novels.

“You wouldn’t want our most beloved Master to find out… that you turned into this explosively cute wolf-girl loli, would you? Hee hee~~~”

Lu Qiancha’s pupils suddenly dilated. How had Gan Tang suddenly become enlightened? She was actually threatening her…

It had to be said that this threat had indeed struck Lu Qiancha’s weak spot…

Lu Qiancha opened her mouth, her small teeth grinding together in anger, but in the end—

That stiffly raised blue tail drooped down with extreme indignation.

“Ooh…” Lu Qiancha chose to give in.

But this little junior sister of hers… had finally been clever for once, but she was using all her dirty tricks on her own senior brother…
