After Breaking Off the Engagement, I Started Pursuing My Master-Chapter 15 - Mm
Chapter 15: Mm
This question stumped Jiang Huai.
He didn’t have many friends in the sect, mainly because he was rather lazy and generally couldn’t be bothered to maintain certain friendships. On a daily basis, he had the image of a refined and easygoing Eldest Senior Brother, and his relationship with everyone was not bad, but he hardly had any close friends.
Thinking about it seriously, he did treat Wen Wanwan a bit better, indeed because she was very beautiful. Wen Wanwan’s figure and appearance fit his aesthetic perfectly, with a slender waist and long legs, just looking at her was a feast for the eyes. Her voice was clear and cool, not deliberately cold, and her tone was very soft when chatting with him.
So for a moment, he really couldn’t answer Wen Wanwan’s question.
“Actually, it’s just a small effort for me,” Jiang Huai thought for a while and finally answered like this.
“To Jiang Huai Senior Brother, it may be a small effort, but to Wanwan, it’s a great kindness,” Wen Wanwan’s eyelashes drooped slightly.

“Jiang Huai Senior Brother being so kind to me always makes Wanwan think of things she shouldn’t.”
“Hmm? Think what?” Jiang Huai was taken aback.
But as soon as he asked, Wen Wanwan’s head drooped even lower, and Jiang Huai seemed to see her ears turn a deep red. After a while, he heard her say in a somewhat coy voice,
“Wanwan once thought… that Jiang Huai Senior Brother… wanted my body.”
Jiang Huai was somewhat amused and exasperated.
Yet a moment later, Wen Wanwan continued,
“But if Jiang Huai Senior Brother really wanted my body… back when I came to borrow a thousand spirit stones, Jiang Huai Senior Brother could have asked for it then. At that time, Wanwan had said… she would agree to any condition Jiang Huai Senior Brother had.”
“But Jiang Huai Senior Brother didn’t ask for anything and lent me the thousand spirit stones, which made Wanwan even more anxious and uneasy. There’s nothing else on me worth Jiang Huai Senior Brother’s pursuit, so I always think about this at night and can’t sleep, which is why I try to save spirit stones every month to pay back Jiang Huai Senior Brother as soon as possible.”
“So… Wanwan doesn’t understand.”
Wen Wanwan finally raised her cheeks, her fingertips lightly pinching the hem of her dress, mustering the courage to look directly into Jiang Huai’s eyes and said softly,
“If… Jiang Huai Senior Brother wants my body…”
Before she could finish, Jiang Huai interrupted her, his voice gentle,
“Don’t say such things.”
“Do you think I’m cheap too, Jiang Huai Senior Brother?”
“Wait, when have I ever said that?” Jiang Huai was taken aback again.
Wen Wanwan seemed even more uneasy, bowing her head again,
“That day when I came to borrow spirit stones from Jiang Huai Senior Brother… I told Jiang Huai Senior Brother that I would agree to any condition… It was like I was prepared to sell myself to Jiang Huai Senior Brother…”
Jiang Huai wanted to say something to comfort her, but it seemed she had more to say, so he kept silent and listened as she continued.
“At that time… my sister’s serious illness broke out, and I was desperate. Li Qiusheng from Alchemy Mountain approached me, saying he would give me eight hundred spirit stones in exchange… for letting him toy with me for three months.”
“I drove him out of the courtyard, and after closing the courtyard door, I cried for a long time. Later, I heard from Senior Sisters and Junior Sisters that Jiang Huai Senior Brother is a good person… From the time I was brought to the sect, I had always heard of Jiang Huai Senior Brother’s name, always silently admiring Jiang Huai Senior Brother from a corner. After crying for a long time, Wanwan thought… even if I had to sell myself, I should sell for a good price, so I came to find Jiang Huai Senior Brother.”
“But Jiang Huai Senior Brother gave me a thousand spirit stones and didn’t ask Wanwan to do anything, so Wanwan couldn’t help but overthink.”
As she spoke, a few tears gathered on Wen Wanwan’s eyelashes, probably recalling the heartache from that period. Jiang Huai took out a handkerchief for her and said softly,
“We are disciples of the same sect; we should naturally help each other. Don’t think too much.”
But as soon as Jiang Huai said this, the tears in Wen Wanwan’s eyes could no longer be held back and started to fall. Jiang Huai hurriedly took the handkerchief and gently wiped away the tears at the corners of her eyes.
“Alright, alright, what’s there to cry about?”
But Wen Wanwan just cried and didn’t speak. Jiang Huai felt somewhat helpless; he had always been uncomfortable with women crying and wasn’t good at consoling them, so he could only silently wipe her tears. It took a while for Wen Wanwan to stop crying, and she murmured softly.
“Jiang Huai Senior Brother…”
“Hmm?”
“Do you really not want my body?”
“I don’t.”
Wen Wanwan turned her cheeks slightly and whispered very softly.
“If Jiang Huai Senior Brother wants it… Wanwan would seriously consider it.”
“I’ve already said that’s not the case,” Jiang Huai’s cheeks were full of helplessness.
“Does Jiang Huai Senior Brother really look like a beast to you?”
“It’s not that… it’s Wanwan’s fault… for thinking too much… always feeling insecure,” Wen Wanwan hurriedly replied, but her eyelashes quietly drooped again, her gaze falling on her legs beneath the hem of her dress, her ankles slender and snow-white.
“Don’t think too much. The inner sect competition is in a few days. Don’t skimp on the spirit stones for cultivation anymore. Practice your swordsmanship well.”
“Okay.” Wen Wanwan nodded lightly.
Just as Jiang Huai was about to get up to leave, Wen Wanwan suddenly stepped forward, her delicate hand holding a handkerchief. She approached Jiang Huai and used the handkerchief to gently wipe the sweat from his face, whispering, “Jiang Huai Senior Brother has sweated a lot.”
“It’s nothing, I just haven’t been active for a while and am not used to it.”
“I’ve just bathed, and the water in the bath is still warm… If Jiang Huai Senior Brother doesn’t mind, would you like to bathe in my bath?”
Wen Wanwan’s handkerchief reached his neck, carefully wiping the fine sweat from his body, her voice soft and her eyes gentle.
A ding sounded again by Jiang Huai’s ear.
【Your generosity to Wen Wanwan was a mere trifle for you, but for Wen Wanwan, it was the only glimmer of hope in her despair. Therefore, she is deeply grateful to you. She has mistaken this gratitude for affection towards you. At this moment, her head is spinning, and she sees you as an almost perfect fantasy. She is likely to comply with any request you make.】
【Agree to her request and tell her you feel weak and ask her to bathe you and scrub your body.】
【Task Reward: low-grade experience scroll*1, Evil-Repelling Ice Silk White Gloves*1】
Jiang Huai silently dragged the system’s silly and soft task to his to-do list again. Many times he really wanted to force shut down these tasks, but unfortunately, he couldn’t.
Who suddenly has some wicked thoughts in their head?!
“No…”
Jiang Huai was about to refuse, but Wen Wanwan seemed to move even closer, her body almost pressing against Jiang Huai’s, her gentle gaze fixed on him, her snow-white cheeks gradually blushing, her voice trembling and shy.
“Wanwan… can bathe and scrub Senior Brother Jiang Huai’s body…”
Jiang Huai almost nodded.
He pinched himself hard on the waist to regain his senses, and the next second, he stretched out his hands and placed them on Wen Wanwan’s shoulders. Wen Wanwan’s body trembled slightly, seeming to sober up quite a bit.
“Hehe, you’re using this to test Senior Brother Jiang Huai? Do you think Senior Brother Jiang Huai can’t withstand such a test?”
Jiang Huai suddenly reached out, his hand that was resting on her shoulder now pinching her face.
“Go rest early. Senior Brother Jiang Huai really has no improper thoughts about you. Just focus on your cultivation as a way to repay Senior Brother Jiang Huai.”
Wen Wanwan’s snow-white little face was pulled into various cute shapes by Jiang Huai, her eyes showing a hint of grievance, her voice muffled.
“Wanwan wants… to comfort Senior Brother Jiang Huai.”
“Hm? Comfort me for what?”
“Everyone in the sect knows that Senior Brother Jiang Huai was broken off by Luo Qingyu… Senior Brother Jiang Huai must be very sad now, but you still force a smile when dealing with Wanwan.”
“Where is that? Look, Senior Brother Jiang Huai is clearly laughing.”
Jiang Huai looked at her helplessly, “There’s more to the story. Luo Qingyu is actually staying in my courtyard right now. Alright, alright, go to sleep early, and don’t talk such nonsense next time.”
Jiang Huai released his grip on Wen Wanwan’s face, which was now flushed where he had pinched, and she muttered softly.
“Senior Brother Jiang Huai… are you leaving?”
“Yes, I’m going to sleep.”
“Mm…”
Wen Wanwan lowered her head, that soft mm revealed a lot of disappointment.
