Chapter 484: The Ways Men Release Stress
A while ago.
“I say… are you sure this really works?”
In front of her vanity, Si Jingzhu anxiously looked at her reflection in the bronze mirror.
Beside her, Hua Jianglian was diligently rummaging through various cosmetics and confidently said, “Don’t worry.”
“I’ve browsed countless comics and studied various women’s makeup styles.”
“Putting on some makeup is a piece of cake, right?”
“But…” Si Jingzhu glanced at her somewhat abstract makeup in the mirror, hesitating.
She felt like the women in those comics looked good, but somehow it felt utterly wrong on her.
Do guys… really like this kind of look?
“I’ll tell you.”
While applying makeup, Hua Jianglian began to boast proudly, “Back then, I did everything I could to close the distance with Young Master Sang, trying every way to get his attention.”
“For that, I specially learned a lot of makeup techniques. On our first night together, I put on a stunning actress’s makeup, and that’s how I snagged him.”
“Really?” Si Jingzhu was skeptical.
“Of course it’s true.”
Hua Jianglian laughed sheepishly.
… I mean, I said it’s true, so it’s true.
Si Jingzhu had no choice but to believe her. After half an hour of Hua Jianglian fussing about, her makeup was finally done.
“Now for the outfit… let’s pick something a bit revealing and charming… this one looks good! It pretty much shows everything except what shouldn’t be exposed.”
Si Jingzhu looked at the outfit, which was practically just two pieces of thin fabric covering her chest and thighs, and fell into a deep self-doubt.
“Why do I feel like you’re just treating me like a dress-up doll?”
“Come on, trust me!”
Hua Jianglian pat her shoulder hard: “This is all the wisdom of someone who’s been through it!”
“When I had my first night with him, I wore something way more revealing. You’re nowhere near that level!”
Si Jingzhu couldn’t even imagine what could be more inappropriate than this outfit.
But in the end, at Hua Jianglian’s insistence, she shyly changed into it.
“Perfect.”
Hua Jianglian said, “Now, the last thing you need to do.”
“When the evening comes, stand by Little Ying’s room door. As soon as he gets kicked out by Little Ying, no matter where he goes, you intercept him first.”
“Go for it.”

So.
Si Jingzhu could only endure the embarrassment, deliberately swaying her hips to appear enticing in front of Young Master Sang.
“How’s it going~? Doesn’t my brother look super sexy today? Can I measure my brother’s waist with my thighs~?”
After saying that, she playfully winked.
Young Master Sang: “…?”
“Uh, what’s wrong with you?”
“Ugh, brother, that’s so hurtful. I’m just hungry and want a lollipop.”
She leaned close to Young Master Sang, cuddling his arm and shamelessly pressed her flat chest against him, teasing, “I don’t like sweets; I only want the savory lollipops you make~”
Young Master Sang gazed deeply at Si Jingzhu’s face.
Si Jingzhu seemed a bit shy under his intense stare, unable to help but look down, while secretly feeling excited and hopeful.
…He’s looking at me so intently.
Is he enchanted by me?
Is the next step him being captivated by my alluring body, succumbing to his desires, and then going wild, throwing me into the room and onto the bed, ripping these clothes to shreds, and breaking my body apart… ah~
Navigating her fantasies, her forehead was bubbling with pink thoughts.
However, the next moment, Young Master Sang’s voice sounded dull:
“Are you also sleepless because of the side effects of the drug?”
“Ugh, me too.” Ignoring Si Jingzhu’s confusion, Young Master Sang sighed, “Since taking those Dream-Closing Pills I gave you a few times, my sleep quality has improved a bit, but falling asleep has become harder and harder.”
“I didn’t expect the side effects to be this severe, sorry about that. Now we’re both sleepless together.”
Si Jingzhu: “… huh?”
Side effects? How was I supposed to know your pills had side effects?
I’m an Original Immortal! Even if there were side effects, they wouldn’t affect me!
Besides, weren’t those pills meant for me? Why are you taking them?
“Can’t help it, sometimes there’s just a lot of work pressure. With insomnia and tons of dreams, I thought I’d pop some pills.”
Young Master Sang sighed again: “Recently there has been so much work with the Demon Cultivators and the Void Alliance. I have to take care of Little Ying while balancing my duties, and also deal with those god and demon beings.”
“Even at home, there’s hardly a moment of peace. I’ve got to pay my dues, and I barely have time to sleep, and even when I do manage to fall asleep, I’m still thinking about how to negotiate with the Ancestral Cang and his bunch…”
As he spoke, Young Master Sang couldn’t help but feel despondent, covering his face deeply: “Sigh, I’m destined to be a workhorse, busy all the time. I’ve practically worked my way up to the Demon Cultivators Sect Leader and I’m still this busy.”
“Being a man is tough…”
Hearing his sorrowful tone, Si Jingzhu couldn’t help but pat his back in sympathy, comforting him.
“You’ve worked hard, it’s really not easy for you.”
“Sigh…”
……
… Wait!
Si Jingzhu! Why are you still speaking to him in this tone?!
At this rate, he’s going to see me as one of the guys!
Suddenly, Si Jingzhu shook her head fiercely and slapped her cheeks.
Think about it! If I were his lover or confidante, how should I comfort him right now?
As Young Master Sang sighed and was about to gather his thoughts, suddenly a delicate soft body leaned against his shoulder, and a sweet whisper brushed against his ear:
“Yeah.”
“Brother works so hard every day… why don’t I serve you, help you relieve some stress?”
“Relieve stress?” Young Master Sang blinked, “You want to help me relieve stress?”
“Exactly.”
Si Jingzhu giggled: “Just say the word and I’ll do anything~ Feel free to use me.”
Young Master Sang lowered his head deep in thought for a moment.
Then, he looked at Si Jingzhu, feeling a bit embarrassed.
“You… sure? I can make any request? Just to be clear, my ideas might be a bit intense.”
“Definitely!”
Si Jingzhu suddenly grabbed his hand excitedly: “The more intense, the better! I love it when my brother plays intense games!”
Young Master Sang was taken aback by her enthusiasm, nodding weakly: “Okay, then I guess I’ll be respectful of your wishes—”
Si Jingzhu’s face lit up with a satisfied smile.
Finally.
Finally, I’ve succeeded!
——

The next dawn. In Young Master Sang’s room.
Lying on the bed, Young Master Sang was fast asleep with a serene expression, clearly having a great dream.
Meanwhile, Si Jingzhu, looking disheveled and with a pale face, stared out of the window with lifeless eyes.
In the end, she covered her face in despair.
“…What kind of man.”
“Would play through an entire night of ‘Original Immortal’ while being seduced by a beautiful girl?!”
