Reborn as a Mountain: I Defy the Heavens with a Smile-Chapter 32: Senior Brother, I Am A Cultivator, So The Ghost Would Not Eat Me

"Xiao Mei, here are the healing pills, Qi recovery pills, antidote pills, and poison pills." Ye Chen said as he gave her four jade bottles, each consisting of ten pills.

He wanted to refine more, but the old cauldron crumbled into small pieces; hence, he had to stop the refining.

Moreover, it was already dinner time, and Li Mei was waiting for him to finish with an anxious look.

She was very nervous since it was already night, and he hadn’t left her room yet.

"Senior brother, let’s go eat dinner first," she replied hurriedly, wanting to make him leave her room first.

Zhen Yunqi was in retreat and couldn’t be disturbed, which left only two of them in the courtyard.

Although she knew he wouldn’t do anything to her, she was still concerned as he did things however he wanted.

Ye Chen guessed what she was worried about and smiled at her.

However, he didn’t reject her suggestion and headed out for dinner.

Li Mei also followed behind, but with a meek look as he held her hand tightly.

She couldn’t help but struggle to get her hand free, but it was useless no matter how much strength she poured in.

’How could this be!’ she thought with a stunned and irritated look.

She had taken the body-strengthening pill refined by him, which increased her physical strength ten times.

It was a lot because her body was strengthened by yin physique too.

Yet she wasn’t able to do anything against his grip.

"Senior brother, why are you so strong?" She complained with a glare, still struggling to get her hand free.

Watching her like this, Ye Chen chuckled and pinched her small nose.

"I am your senior brother, so of course I have to be strong; if not, who will protect you?" He stated with a serious look.

Li Mei almost wanted to shout that I need protection from you, but in the end, she didn’t say anything and turned her head away with a pout.

Ye Chen just smiled at this and led her to the dining hall, where they had a simple dinner.

After this, he didn’t hesitate and made his way towards her room, making her anxious.

"Senior brother, look at this room; it’s bigger than mine and has a comfy bed. This is the best place for you to sleep now since your room is burnt," she suggested hastily, pointing at a forward.

She hoped he would nod and agree to stay here, but Ye Chen crushed her hopes by shaking his head.

"Xiao Mei, no matter how good these rooms are, they are not as good as my cute junior sister’s room, so I won’t be sleeping anywhere else," he stated with a shrug.

Hearing this, Li Mei’s heart skipped a few beats, and her anxiety increased.

"S-senior brother... I don’t think it’s appropriate for you to sleep in my room, so why don’t you choose another one? Look, this is even bigger than the previous one," she tried to convince again with a hopeful look.

However, Ye Chen didn’t care and gazed into her panicked eyes.

"My junior sister, if I sleep in another room, then what will you do if a ghost comes to eat you? I don’t know about you, but I don’t want to lose my cute, naive junior sister."

"So, no matter what, I would be sleeping with you from now on because this is the only way to protect my junior sister from getting eaten by a ghost," he declared with a determined look as he pinched her cheeks.

Hearing this, Li Mei felt amused and furious at the same time.

’I don’t think any ghost will eat me, but you will definitely,’ she thought, giving him an angry glare as she thought of what he might be planning to do.

"Senior brother, I am a cultivator, so the ghost would not eat me," she retorted with a pout, still trying to convince him.

But Ye Chen didn’t care.

"Xiao Mei, you are taking the ghosts too lightly; don’t you know they are the most evil and dangerous creatures in this world? In front of them, even Yunqi would need my help, not to mention you," he stated with a serious look, grabbing her shoulders.

Li Mei couldn’t help but feel speechless at this. She knew he was making up lies and felt funny at how hard he was trying.

’Just how much do you want to sleep with me? Also cover your lies!’ She thought with a pout when Ye Chen pulled her hand.

"Let’s go; it is getting late," he said with a smile.

Li Mei could only glare at him, but she didn’t resist this time and followed silently.

Although she was anxious that he might be planning something bad, she wasn’t worried too much, as she trusted him and knew he wouldn’t do anything that she would dislike.

…

Inside Li Mei’s room, Ye Chen lay down on the bed comfortably as he waited for Li Mei to get changed.

It didn’t take too long, and she was done within a few minutes.

However, she didn’t climb on the bed and looked at him with caution.

"Senior brother, promise me you won’t kiss me and do anything weird," she demanded, not letting her guard down.

Although she trusted him It didn’t mean she would blindly believe; it was better for her to confirm; if not, he might use this as an excuse to kiss her, and who knows if he might take things further.

However, her worries were useless since Ye Chen wasn’t planning anything.

"Don’t worry, I won’t do anything; also, the bed is big, so stop being anxious for no reason," he assured me with a smile.

The bed was big enough to fit four people. If she slept at the edge, it would be hard for Ye Chen to reach her unless he really tried to.

Li Mei knew this, but she still asked and became relieved after hearing his answer.

However, she still didn’t let her guard down and climbed on the bed before covering her body with a quilt and turning her head sideways in the opposite direction from his.

Watching her like this, Ye Chen felt amused; however, he knew she was tense, so he decided not to tease her.

"Xiao Mei, why did you come here to become a servant and not a disciple?" He inquired, wondering what she was planning by making such a decision.
