Miss Cousin is Always Busy

Chapter 184

Jun Zishu wasn’t aware of what her little cousin was thinking. She only saw that the girl had suddenly stopped moving.

Could it be that she was shy?

“Mignsheng?”

Yue Mingsheng snapped back to her senses when she heard Jun Zishu calling out to her, and she quickly undressed as well.

When Jun Zishu sat down in the pool and felt the warm water enveloping her body, she relaxed and quietly enjoyed the comfortable warmth. Amidst her relaxation, she suddenly felt someone scooping up her long hair that was floating on the water. Then, when she turned her head slightly, she found herself looking at Yue Mingsheng’s face.

“I’ll help you, Big Sister,” Yue Mingsheng said when she locked eyes with Jun Zishu.

Jun Zishu answered with a hum and went along with Yue Mingsheng’s actions.

Yue Mingsheng washed Jun Zishu’s hair very carefully, adding soap powder and scrubbing gently until bubbles formed. Then, she spread the long hair with her fingers, making sure to cover every strand of hair in soap.

Occasionally, Yue Mingsheng would secretly glide her finger across Jun Zishu’s back. However, she did it only briefly, so her actions never attracted Jun Zishu’s attention.

Yue Mingsheng felt like she was a thief secretly coveting a precious treasure. She was sneakily satisfying herself while her master wasn’t paying attention. Even if it was just a light touch, satisfaction still filled her heart.

With the gentle moonlight reflecting off of her face, Jun Zishu closed her eyes partially and placed an arm on the edge of the pool as she started to feel a little drowsy.

After Yue Mingsheng washed Jun Zishu’s hair, she moved the hair aside, exposing half of Jun Zishu’s beautiful back. Then, she picked up a towel and gently wiped Jun Zishu’s back.

Jun Zishu’s shoulder blades curved in an attractive arc, and Yue Mingsheng found them looking like a butterfly with its wings spread. She even made sure to be careful with her fingers when wiping these shoulder blades, afraid that she would disturb the butterfly they represented.

Jun Zishu couldn’t help but find this situation a little strange. She had never liked other people touching her. Yet, when Yue Mingsheng touched her, she felt none of the repulsion she normally experienced. On the contrary, she found Yue Mingsheng’s touch normal. Why?

When Yue Mingsheng reached Jun Zishu’s waist, her hands trembled a little. With her beloved’s slender waist displayed right before her, she couldn’t help but have the urge to just embrace it. Unfortunately, she dared not and could not do so.

“I’ll do it myself, Mingsheng,” Jun Zishu said as she grabbed the hands and towel that were sliding down her back.

“Okay.”

While Jun Zishu was cleaning her body, Yue Mingsheng distanced herself a little and washed her own hair. Although Jun Zishu noticed Yue Mingsheng’s face looked a little red, she simply assumed it was because of the hot water.

After wiping her front, Jun Zishu looked at her chest and agonized a little. If possible, she preferred not to have such big breasts. After all, there were no modern-day bras available, so they swayed around a lot if she walked even slightly faster than normal.

After letting out an inward sigh, Jun Zishu scooped some water with a wooden bucket and splashed it on her body.

Meanwhile, Yue Mingsheng had, at some point, sidled up to Jun Zishu’s side and stole glances at Jun Zishu while washing herself. Then, when she saw Jun Zishu splashing water on herself, she felt her breath stifling a little.

The water droplets slid down from the beautiful collarbone, resting on the tips of the two red plums and giving them a crystal shine.

Yue Mingsheng dared not continue watching, so she hurriedly turned her back toward Jun Zishu.

This is too…strange… How did things turn out like this? Yue Mingsheng wondered.

Yue Mingsheng had never felt such a strong desire for the person beside her in the past. However, at some point, whenever Jun Zishu appeared in front of her, she would get the urge to run her gaze across her body, touch her body, kiss her, and hug her. Even her soul would cry out, saying that this person belonged to her.

When Yue Mingsheng looked at the reflection in the water, she wondered, if she was stronger, would she be able to get what she wanted? Could she do whatever she wanted?

Some dangerous thoughts suddenly popped up in her head, but Yue Mingsheng quickly dismissed them.

If she went against that person’s will, that person would grow upset.

Yue Mingsheng couldn’t bear to make Jun Zishu upset. She hoped that her master could remain happy forever.

While waiting for Yue Mingsheng to finish washing up, Jun Zishu quietly soaked herself in the bath.

The bath wasn’t just a stagnant pool of water. Clean water was constantly flowing in while dirty water was being drained. In no time at all, the lather that floated on the pool’s surface was carried away, and the pool regained its clarity once more.

After soaking for a few minutes, Jun Zishu stood up from the pool, water dripping from her body and splashing into the pool.

“Come onto the bed and teach me how to move my internal energy, Mingsheng. I’ve already forgotten how to since it’s been a long time since I practiced.”

The original owner only learned martial arts on a whim. Moreover, her training had been relaxing and never involved any hardships. As a result, the original owner had a weak foundation, and Jun Zishu couldn’t even find any methods to manipulate internal energy in the original owner’s memories.

After wiping her body dry with a towel, Jun Zishu wrapped her body in a piece of tulle and picked up another towel to dry her hair. Then, she walked to the bed situated at a corner of the bath.

“Okay.”

Yue Mingsheng stood up and dried the water on her body. Then, she changed into a clean set of clothes.

However, when Yue Mingsheng saw Jun Zishu getting on the bed, she felt her head aching slightly. She felt that her willpower would collapse at this rate.

Jun Zishu had only covered herself in a piece of red tulle, the fabric served concealing nothing whatsoever. To make matters worse, she simply sat cross-legged on the bed without even wearing her dudou.

After letting out a sigh in her heart, Yue Mingsheng resisted the urge to touch Jun Zishu and got onto the bed as well. Then, she grabbed the towel in Jun Zishu’s hands and helped her dry her hair.

“No hurry,” Jun Zishu said.

“You’ll feel uncomfortable if your hair is wet.”

Hearing this, Jun Zishu had no choice but to go along with Yue Mingsheng’s actions.

Meanwhile, after Yue Mingsheng wiped away the visible droplets of water from Jun Zishu’s hair, she further dried it with some of her internal energy. Then, she set aside the towel.

“Your hair…” Jun Zishu opened her mouth to speak.

“It doesn’t matter,” Yue Mingsheng interrupted.

“That won’t do. Sit down, and I’ll wipe it for you,” Jun Zishu said in an authoritative tone.

Obeying Jun Zishu’s command, Yue Mingsheng reached for a clean towel and handed it to Jun Zishu. Then, she moved to sit in front of Jun Zishu.

“I can die with no regrets after receiving such an honor,” Yue Mingsheng said.

“Are you that easily satisfied? Isn’t it about time you put a little more faith in me?”

“I naturally trust you the most, Big Sister.”

“No, what I mean is that you should believe that I am sincerely pampering you. You are too careful, Mingsheng. You don’t have to be so uptight. Just behave like you are my real little sister. We grew up together, so our relationship has long since been out of the ordinary.”

At this point, Jun Zishu was just short of saying: “I give you the permission to act presumptuously.” In Jun Zishu’s opinion, Yue Mingsheng behaved too carefully around her. When they interacted, the feeling that Yue Mingsheng was putting her on a pedestal was very obvious.

“Can I really do that?”

Yue Mingsheng was scared. However, what she was afraid of wasn’t to believe or accept Jun Zishu’s favor. Instead, what she was afraid of was that Jun Zishu would take back this favor.

Yue Mingsheng was a person who liked to overthink things and prepare for a rainy day. Based on her past experiences, the empress’s love could be incredibly fickle. She felt that if she were to get used to Jun Zishu’s pampering only to have it suddenly taken away one day, she would probably lose her mind.

“You are over-humbling yourself again. Of course you can.”

After drying Yue Mingsheng’s hair as much as she could with the towel, Jun Zishu started combing her little cousin’s hair with her fingers.

“These are your words. You’re not allowed to take them back,” Yue Mingsheng said. Then, she suddenly turned around and buried herself into Jun Zishu’s ample bosom.

Besides serving no purpose in concealing Jun Zishu’s body, the red tulle was also utterly useless in blocking physical contact.

When Yue Mingsheng felt the two bundles of softness sticking to her face, a blush instantly appeared on her face and spread all the way to her earlobes. However, she did not remove herself because of this. Instead, she wrapped her arms around Jun Zishu’s waist and began rubbing her face against Jun Zishu’s breasts.

Meanwhile, Little Fairy watched Lord taking liberties with Jun Zishu contemptuously.

Little Fairy used to hold deep admiration for her almighty creator in the past, and she felt that she would have no regrets for the rest of her life if she could meet Lord even once. However, when she looked at how Lord behaved right now, she couldn’t help but feel bitter and miserable. It didn’t matter even if Lord’s actual body remained in an unconscious state right now. Just why was Lord chasing after a person from world to world so desperately?

Perhaps this was love.

Jun Zishu gently rubbed Yue Mingsheng’s long hair as the girl took advantage of her kindness. Then, just when she was about to push Yue Mingsheng away, Yue Mingsheng withdrew herself.

Jun Zishu wanted to say something initially, but she chose to swallow those words back after seeing the girl’s happy and flushed face.

“Big Sister, cross your legs and close your eyes.”

Yue Mingsheng might look soft and weak, but every muscle on her body was packed with strength. Aside from training in internal arts, she also trained in external arts and supplemented it with concealed weapon arts.

Following Yue Mingsheng’s instructions, Jun Zishu manipulated the internal energy coursing through her body. However, due to the original owner’s laziness, there was only a pitiful amount of internal energy in her body right now. The only reason Jun Zishu managed to seal Chu Ying’s acupuncture point with her death-point strike previously was because he was unprepared. If she tried to do it when he was prepared, it might not work even if he was restrained.

“You mustn’t rush in training your internal energy. It’s fine to take it slowly,” Yue Mingsheng advised. Then, while massaging Jun Zishu’s shoulders, Yue Mingsheng asked, “By the way, why did you suddenly think of picking up martial arts again?”

“I want to have the ability to protect myself.”

“But don’t you have us to protect you?” Yue Mingsheng asked, referring to the Imperial Shadow Guards.

“Shadow One got injured while trying to stop an assassination attempt on me. The shadow guards might have stopped the attack this time, but they’re not omnipotent.”

Jun Zishu disliked putting her safety in the hands of others. It might be fine if she lacked the ability to practice martial arts, but since she could do so, why wouldn’t she do it? When she encountered danger, who else could react to it more quickly than herself?

Jun Zishu did not wish to die so easily. She still had one mission to complete in this world, so she needed to stay alive and healthy.

“Are the assassinations still ongoing? I wish I could stay by your side all the time and protect you,” Yue Mingsheng said, feeling a little annoyed. While she wished she could stay by Jun Zishu’s side all the time, her identity prohibited her from doing so.

“That’s why you should teach me more attentively. At the very least, let me have the ability to protect myself.”

“Understood.”

“So, come to my bedchamber and rest with me tonight.”

“Big Sister?”

[Host?]

Ahhhh! What are you doing, host?! Do you know you are welcoming the wolf into your room?! Little Fairy yelled in her mind.

“If it’s inconvenient for you…”

“It’s convenient,” Yue Mingsheng interrupted.

Hearing this, Jun Zishu swallowed back the words “then forget it” and replaced them with:

“Let’s go, then.”

Seeing that her host hadn’t responded to her, Little Fairy refused to give up and asked again:

[Host, did you fall for the mission target? Why are you letting her bathe and sleep with you?]

Despite how calmly Little Fairy asked her question, in her mind, she was yelling, You are playing with fire, Host! Fire!

Personally, though, she was more than happy to see this happen.

I just find it a little strange, Jun Zishu responded to Little Fairy in her mind.

[What’s strange?]

Why aren’t I opposed to her touch?

[Huh?]

Jun Zishu did not continue explaining to Little Fairy. Instead, she began pondering in silence.

Ever since she stopped visiting the Emotion Separation Division, her recollection of the past became very clear.

She was never a person who liked sharing physical contact with others. In the previous world where she was a celebrity, she would feel a pang of discomfort even when her assistants touched her arm. This wasn’t because she disliked them or anything. Instead, it was a psychological problem she had developed for as far as she could remember. Even in her original world, she would feel uncomfortable when her parents touched her.

However, ever since she started working for the Department of Transmigration, she found that there would always be that one person whose presence and touch would feel completely natural to her.
