My Junior Sister Is Obviously Soft and Adorable, Yet Insists on Acting Aloof

Xun Jin, the senior-most disciple of Huaimen, has an ice spirit root and a sword bone. Everyone sees her as a once-in-a-generation genius.

Influenced by her ice spirit root and the Ice Abyss sword art, Xun Jin was born lonely, taciturn, and cold-hearted.

Her junior sister, Li Li, is much the same, sometimes even more so. If she can say one fewer word, she will.

The sect's rules require the two senior and junior sisters to fight to the death on the day they complete their training. Only the victor can inherit the sect.

So when her junior sister treats her coldly every day and openly provokes her, Xun Jin thinks it's only natural. She even finds her a little adorable.

Then one day, Xun Jin accidentally swallows the last Listen-In Bug in the world. The person standing closest to her is her junior sister, Li Li.

The Listen-In Bug can only hear the thoughts of the creature closest to the person who swallows it at that moment.

In an instant, countless voices flood Xun Jin's mind, tumbling over one another like pearls falling onto a jade plate.

[What an adorable little bug. But my senior sister is even cuter. She's the cutest person in the world!]

[But how can Senior Sister be so calm? She doesn't even twitch an eyebrow!]

[Should I do something...?]

Cute? The cutest person in the world? Xun Jin had never known how her junior sister really saw her. She raised her eyes.

She looked at her junior sister's beautiful, icy face and heard her calmly ask, “Is something wrong?”

“No,” Xun Jin replied just as calmly.

Then she heard what her expressionless junior sister was thinking.

[Damn it, why did Senior Sister say no? Now I have no excuse to touch her.]

Much later, her junior sister points a sword at her throat, expressionless, and says coldly, “Senior Sister, from the moment we joined the same sect, we were destined to fight to the death.”

Xun Jin barely has time to process her conflicting feelings, because almost at the same moment she hears the thoughts of her junior sister, who seems to have severed all feelings and desires:

[What if Senior Sister actually believes me and draws her sword in a fit of rage!!!]

Xun Jin grips her life-bound sword and approaches with a cold expression. As her junior sister watches, trying to look calm but actually terrified, Xun Jin leans in and kisses her.

A junior sister who acts like a roaring dragon every day vs. a senior sister who finds the dragon's roars adorable every day
