Chapter 46 - 46.Two Humans And One Snake
"S-Senior sister.." Le Fangling picked up the dress that was on the ground and threw it over Nagina to hide her from An Cheng. She did not know about the rules here in the eternal blossom sect regarding the possession of magical beasts as pet.
There was a high chance of her being penalized And Nagina getting confiscated by them if it was against the rule.
'Sorry about this little cutie but, do forgive me.' She asked for forgiveness inside her heart as she threw the outer robe on top of the white inner grown that she had thrown over Nagina.
Nagina, "...."
"What brings you here?" Le Fangling tried to act as calm And normal as possible. She saw that An Cheng was now looking at the pile of dress on the ground.
"Senior sister?" Le Fangling hurried to call her once again when she did not get any response.
"Huh, ohh.." An Cheng replied absent mindedly when she heard her name being called. She unwillingly took off her eyes from the clothes pile. She thought she had seen something shiny on the ground when she had entered the room.
She even tried to see what was there by concentrating all of her qi in her eyes but she could sense nothing under there.
"Ahh, sister FAngling, you.." An Cheng just remained stAnding at the door with her mouth open as she watched the scenery in front of her. She was too occupied by the strange presence she felt in the room when she had entered to look at Le Fangling.
But now that she did, she was speechless as she watched the well proportioned body of her junior sister which she did not have time to see last night due to the poor lights from the candles.
Sensing her eyes on her, Le Fangling saw that she was still in her birthday suit And she was standing stark naked in front of her senior sister.
How shameful!!
Le Fangling wanted to dash and hide somewhere but before that she needed to cover the seal on her stomach before An Cheng saw them.
"What brings you here all of sudden?" She asked An Cheng as she slowly hid beside a small cupboard. She had expected no any visitors so she did not even bother locking the door but well contrary to her expectations, it was sister Cheng of all people who entered her room.
"Err..haha..sorry, I was about to change my dress when you arrived." She looked at the dress on the floor and gave An apologetic smile to An Cheng.
"Ahemm, please dress up quickly. We need to leave soon." An Cheng coughed lightly and looked away from her, her face slightly blushing. Since she was more or less startled by the birthday suit, she did not have time to consider the presence of unusual seal on her stomach.
Her eyes did a quick look at her once again but when she met Le Fangling's gaze that was looking at her instead, she completely turned around in a swift motion, feeling guilty as if she was caught red handed in some kind of shameful act.
"It was my mistake to not knock before coming in, I admit it but from next time make sure to lock the door before you do something like this." An Cheng reprimanded her for her carelessness yet, she could not help but face palm at how stupid she must have looked right now.
After doing whatever she needed to do, she had returned back to the courtyard of the outer Sect disciples to lead the new disciples to the assessment ground since it was their first time here and as the chief senior disciple, it was also her duty.
"Since, I saw that you were not on the courtyard along with the other disciples, I wanted to come check up on you. I have no other intentions." An Cheng was honest about what she said and let out a sigh as she shrugged her shoulder.
"No, it's fine. I was about to join them later Anyway." Le Fangling took out one of the robe that was hanging on the wall from a peg and put it on. Thankfully, it was the dress of her own size.
"Yes, the dresses have been replaced so, the dress won't be a problem." An Cheng informed her without turning back.
"Yes, thank you." Le Fangling let out a sigh of relief when she did not have to suffocate in tight dresses anymore.
"Senior Sister! I have a question." Le Fangling noticed the wriggling of the dress and felt guilty inwardly.historical
"Are we allowed to keep Animals as our companions?" Le Fangling asked as she crouched on the floor And picked up Nagina along with the dress.
She poked out her head from underneath the clothes and looked at Le Fangling with her big round eyes.
"You.." Nagina hissed in low whispery sound.
"Shh..I am trying to figure out what to do." Le Fangling brought her face close to her and spoke in low voice.
"Pets you say?" An Cheng was thoughtful for a while since no one had ever thought about keeping pets ever.
"Yes, like you know, a companion." Le Fangling nodded her head.
"Most of the cultivators have their own contracted magical beast as their companion but I have never heard someone say keeping simple animals as pet." An Cheng thought about the records of past but she could not think of Anyone asking to keep a companion pet.
"Is..is it not allowed?" She looked at the silent back of An Cheng with a heavy heart. She could only wait for Nagina to cultivate to higher level before making her existence known to others.
"I can't say it's not allowed. Hmm, as long as it's not going to harm other people, it will be fine." An Cheng Answered after thinking for a smile.
"So if you want to have one, you can always keep one but do let me know first. I will have to keep it recorded."
Hearing her Answer, Le Fangling let out the longest sigh feeling relieved and gave a wink to Nagina who simply looked away.
.
"Sister Cheng, aren't you going to turn around? I am already dressed." Le Fangling placed away the dress that was covering Nagina And placed it neatly on the top of cupboard.
"Oh, okay." With a nod, An Cheng turned around to look at Le Fangling when she met eyes first with a pair of adorable eyes that were innocently staring back at her.
She let out a gasp and covered her mouth with her palm.
'Such a cute little snake.' She cried tears of joy inside her heart as she looked at the sparkly eyes.
Seeing the reaction of An Cheng, Le Fangling knew she liked Nagina at first glance and why won't she? Nagina was the cutest little thing one could ever find.
"She is the one I was talking about. Sister An Cheng, meet Nagina." She forwarded her hand towards An Cheng to give her a better view of Nagina.
"Hello, nice to meet you." Nagina tilted her head sideways and looked at An Cheng and blinked twice.
"You are very beautiful."
