Gotta say, raising a sensible girl from a young age sure makes her easy to coax.

Yino simply chatted with Yunjin for a bit, pinched her cheek, and shifted the topic to Lily’s future. Yunjin’s tearful little face instantly lit up with hope again. She was much more sensible than some pampered young miss from the Liu Grand Tutor’s mansion.

Back in the day, when Ruoning got angry and cried, Yino really had to beg and plead to coax her. Whenever this little girl cried, all the elders in the family would assume Yino was bullying her.

After a while, Ruoning developed a bad habit.

"You... why are you suddenly looking at me with that kind of gaze..." The green-haired girl stood beside them. She first looked at Yunjin wearing her coat, then puffed up her face aggrievedly and looked at Yino.

Just now, Yino had grabbed her coat to coax another young lady. Ruoning had been holding back her grievances and not making a sound, okay!

But now, Yino was actually looking at her with a strange expression, and definitely not thinking anything good in his heart!

"There’s nothing, just feeling that after this trip through the secret realm, you’ve become much more sensible compared to when you were young. It’s like you grew up several years overnight." Yino said lightly, the corners of his lips curving into a meaningful smile.

Although Yino didn’t say it outright, Ruoning knew exactly what he was thinking! Clearly he was subtly implying that before entering the secret realm, Ruoning was too spoiled and unreasonable. Only after he displayed his prowess in the secret realm did he turn around and mock Ruoning for being proven wrong.

But the question is, was Yino himself really sensible when he was young? When he was a kid, he was practically lumped in the same basket!

When he was young, Yino took advantage of Ruoning’s naivete when taking her out to play and duped her more than a few times. For example, when Ruoning was little, she was afraid of firecracker sounds. Yino specially tricked her into throwing one, telling her it wouldn’t be loud, but after she threw it, it turned out to be an earth-shakingly loud double kick-footer. Ruoning was so scared she buried her face in Yino’s embrace, trembling and not daring to lift her head for a long time.

In the aftermath, Yino angrily said the stall owner was too black-hearted for selling him a fake throwable firework. Back then, Ruoning foolishly believed him and felt from the bottom of her heart that being in Yino’s arms was so safe.

Another time, when Ruoning was young she was shy and didn’t dare to buy things from stalls herself. Yino told her a sugar gourd only cost one tael of silver. Ruoning scraped together all her pocket money which amounted to less than half a tael of silver and gave it to Yino. He then went and spent a few coins to buy a string of sugar gourds for Ruoning. Not only did he keep all her remaining pocket money for himself, when they were eating the sugar gourd he even had the gall to tell Ruoning this string cost one tael of silver while Ruoning had only given him less than half. He generously let Ruoning eat most of it first, leaving the few remaining hawthorn candies for himself.

Back then, Ruoning didn’t understand the value of things. She felt happy splitting the cost of sugar gourds with Yino to eat. So after that, Ruoning would take silver from her piggy bank of saved New Year’s money every day to give to Yino to buy sugar gourds to share.

Now that Ruoning had grown up, while her childhood memories were amusing to reminisce about, most of the time she couldn’t help clenching her fists. Ugh, karma!

"Yino... even though I was taken care of in the secret realm before, you can’t just take advantage of having the upper hand to bully me like this!"

Facing Yino’s knowing gaze, Ruoning finally couldn’t bear it anymore and pouted.

Even though Yino had saved her life, Ruoning had already yielded a lot. He couldn’t bully her like this! First taking Ruoning’s clothes to coax another girl, then looking down on Ruoning for being unreasonable!

The more Ruoning thought about it, the angrier she got, as if once again finding the sense of superiority she had before entering the secret realm.

But Yino didn’t mind at all. He waved his hand nonchalantly and smiled, "Hey hey hey, don’t be in such a rush, I still have something I haven’t said yet."

"What! Yunjin already stopped crying, and you still haven’t gone to get my clothes back!" Ruoning’s face darkened. Just thinking about Yino’s actions earlier made her burn with anger.

But as Ruoning’s voice faded, when the downy-haired girl carefully took off the coat and handed it back to Ruoning with both hands, the latter’s originally fierce temper instantly turned awkward and embarrassed.

"It’s okay, keep wearing it..."

"I wasn’t snapping at you just now, it was mainly Yino being too much bully!"

Ruoning turned to look at Yunjin, her tone and expression much better, gentle like she was coaxing a small child.

When Yunjin returned the clothes to Ruoning however, she still couldn’t help lowering her head, afraid that she, a country bumpkin, didn’t understand the rules of etiquette when speaking to the young lady of the Liu mansion.

Yunjin thought Ruoning was angry at her and was so scared she didn’t dare make a sound. But Ruoning actually had no issue with Yunjin, she was just purely angry at Yino for randomly taking her clothes to coax other girls.

"You see, what a kind and clever girl she is. Yet you, as the senior of the righteous cultivation sect, still glare at her like this." Yino fanned the flames, pouting and taking Yunjin’s side.

Ruoning glared at him. After not seeing him for ten years, she felt like Yino had become even more shameless, sometimes doing things even worse than when he was young!

"What... Yino, didn’t you say before that you still had something you hadn’t told me?" Mentioning the previous topic, Ruoning’s eyes once again shone with a few glimmers of anticipation.

But when the young girl gazed back at Yino with a heart full of expectation, he unexpectedly smiled and said:

"It’s just that, according to our agreement before entering the secret realm, now that you’ve lost, you should fulfill the bet from ten years ago. And by the way, your chastity should also belong to me..."
