Chapter 1945: Reunited with Xiaoxi

Meanwhile, Zu An was helping Huanzhao expand her meridians. It was fine at first, but eventually, he also began to sweat. It wasn’t that he was tired, but rather that the process was something that seriously tested his willpower.

He finally understood why things like acupuncture were secrets that fathers passed onto sons and mothers passed onto daughters. Even between master and disciple, such skills could only be passed between the same sex, as physical contact was unavoidable. It was easy to develop untoward feelings in that context.

However, Chu Huanzhao was the kind of young lady who didn’t have so many misgivings. She continued to gasp for breath while moaning. The charming sounds she made could really drive anyone mad. All of her clothes were also drenched in sweat, becoming almost transparent. Her body started feeling like soft mud; it was so heavy that she couldn't help but lean against him. It wasn’t because she had any bad thoughts, but rather that expanding the meridians really did hurt quite a bit. After tossing and turning continuously, she was completely exhausted, both physically and mentally. Between that and her good impression of her brother-in-law, she wasn't on guard at all.

Still, that just made things hard for Zu An. Huanzhao didn’t understand the ways of the world and didn’t guard against men, but Zu An was a total carnivore! There were just too many bad thoughts filling his mind. Even so, he was much different from before. His will was incredibly firm and he quickly snapped out of his daze. He took out a set of clothes and draped them over her body.

“You should return to the side room and get some rest. Don’t catch a cold. Also, once you recover a bit, use the method I just taught you to circulate ki through your meridians. That way, your meridians won’t shrink up again,” Zu An reminded her. He made sure to leave a bit of ki inside her body to give her a lending hand. With his current cultivation, doing that much wasn’t too difficult.

No matter how stupid Chu Huanzhao was, she still understood how great of an opportunity she'd received today. If it were anyone else, who would have helped her expand her meridians so patiently? Still, she couldn't help but pout playfully, saying, “Brother-in-law, I want to rest right here. I don’t want to move…”

Zu An said impatiently, “I still have to help the others expand their meridians.”

“Okay, I’m going then,” Chu Huanzhao said, sticking out her tongue. After going through it herself, she knew how dangerous the process was. She didn’t want to stay here and distract him. However, when she arrived at the door, she suddenly turned around and smiled charmingly at Zu An, asking, “Brother-in-law, why do you hide your sword in your pants? It was really getting in the way before. You should change positions, or else it might end up poking them too, hehe~”

Then, she left while giggling. Her short skirt fluttered in the wind, exposing her slender and straight legs. She was full of youthfulness, giving off an entirely different kind of beauty compared to Jiang Luofu’s mature, big sister-like sexiness.

Zu An was stunned.

Was I being teased by that brat? They all say she doesn’t know anything, but I think she actually knows quite a bit!

Chu Huanzhao had a pained expression when she left. She no longer skipped around; instead, she instead walked while supporting herself against a wall, as if she had just endured tremendous pain.

Chu Youzhao and Murong Qinghe both widened their eyes when they saw that. They had looks of disbelief.

“Are you… alright?” Chu Youzhao couldn't help but ask. They were sisters, after all. Even though they always fought normally, she still felt a bit of righteous indignation when she saw her sister having been ravaged like this.

“I’m fine. Brother-in-law told me to send you inside. He has something to tell you,” Chu Huanzhao said with a grin.

Heh, little fella, let’s see how you end up!

“Huh? He’s calling me over too?” Chu Youzhao exclaimed; her face immediately became completely red.

Don’t tell me that second sister wasn’t enough for brother-in-law, and he even wants me to…

Even though I don’t really mind, this just feels a bit strange…

“Big brother Chu, you should hurry and go inside. Big brother Zu might have something important to tell you,” Murong Qinghe said, not panicking. In her eyes, big brother Chu was still a man in the end, even if he was a bit more handsome.

Chu Youzhao gritted her teeth. In the end, she steeled her resolve and entered the room with a courageous expression.

Murong Qinghe was about to ask Chu Huanzhao what had happened, but Huanzhao was so exhausted that she returned to her room to rest after waving her hand. Murong Qinghe was left all alone outside.

…

Meanwhile, Chu Youzhao had just entered the room. She stood by the door and didn’t dare to go closer. She asked hesitantly, “What does brother-in-law need me for?”

“Close the door first," Zu An replied.

“Huh? Oh…” Chu Youzhao said as she closed the door. She could hear her heart pounding.

Zu An seemed to have sensed her nervousness, saying, “Don’t worry. Even though it might hurt a bit at first, you’ll slowly get used to it.”

Chu Youzhao was stunned.

Brother-in-law wants me after all! Second sister is so useless, she wasn’t even able to satisfy him…

“Brother-in-law, this… isn’t too appropriate, is it?” Chu Youzhao stuttered.

Little sister Qinghe is still outside, and he and second sister just…

“What's inappropriate about this? Hurry and take off your clothes,” Zu An said in annoyance. Murong Qinghe was still waiting outside, but he still had to finish dealing with Youzhao first.

“Huh?” Chu Youzhao exclaimed, her face turning completely red. However, her hands reflexively began to undo her buttons. By the time she snapped out of her daze, she was even starting to look down on herself.

Just what in the world am I doing right now?!

However, after thinking about it, she still continued removing her clothes.

Meanwhile, Zu An was wondering if he had to modify the cultivation manuals he had given them a bit. However, when he raised his head, he was startled. He said, “There’s no need for you to take off that much, just remove your outer garments! It’s mainly for dissipating heat when transferring ki later.”

Otherwise, Chu Youzhao's clothes could end up transparent from sweat just like her sister's.

“Transfering ki?” Chu Youzhao repeated, stunned. She suddenly wondered if she had misunderstood something.

“Did Huanzhao not tell you anything?” Zu An replied in surprise. “I’m going to help you guys expand your meridians. It might hurt a bit and you might feel a bit hot…”

When she heard his explanation, Chu Youzhao now knew that she had definitely misunderstood. Her cheeks turned bright red.

Ahh!!! I’m so mad! Huanzhao tricked me to see me make a fool of myself!

Then, Zu An started the same process he had done previously, helping her expand her meridians.

…

Meanwhile, Murong Qinghe read the cultivation manual Zu An gave her. Only when she was with big brother Chu did she seem like a hopeless romantic. Normally, she was a studious person, or else she wouldn’t have made a name for herself in the army at such a young age.

Suddenly, she heard big brother Chu’s voice from inside, saying, “Brother-in-law, go softer. It hurts!”

Her eyes widened.

What the hell is going on?

She had still been able to understand what was going on when Chu Huanzhao was shouting similar things earlier, but why was her big brother Chu also shouting like that?

Does big brother Zu like men? Big brother Chu is quite handsome, so it’s no wonder that he likes him…

Wait, that’s not the most important part! The most important thing is that big brother Chu is being bullied right now!

She reflexively took out her spear to save him. She was worried about her sweetheart, but also worried that big brother Zu’s cultivation was too high, and that she wouldn't be his match.

Jiang Luofu and Ji Dengtu had just arrived. They were also flustered when they heard the noise.

Ji Dengtu raised his head and looked around.

There's no mistake; this is the libationer’s room, the unparalleled academy’s most sacred place.

Why does it now seem like a brothel?

“Did we come at a bad time? This new libationer seems to be quite good at playing around," Ji Dengtu remarked.

When she saw that strange smile on his face, Jiang Luofu shot him a glare and retorted, “Do you think that everyone is as hopeless as you? There's definitely a misunderstanding here.” As such, she cleared her throat and called out, “Libationer, second brother has returned.”

“What?!” a voice replied, sounding shocked and happy. The door quickly opened.

Zu An had just heard from Shen Xuzi that the second brother could very well be the only one who knew about Hollow Cicada Leaves and other such things. However, their second brother was in Brightmoon City, after all. He had never expected that person to have come all the way here!

“It’s you?” Ji Dengtu exclaimed in surprised.

He had been trying to find out who the new libationer was from Jiang Luofu, but she had never told him, only saying that it was someone he knew. That had only made him more annoyed, though. He'd begun to wonder just who he knew, but then he figured that the most likely option was likely great senior brother. How could he have expected to see that brat from Brightmoon City? When he thought about how this brat had taken advantage of his daughter, he even felt a bit angry.

The two stared at each other, but Murong Qinghe wasn't concerned with that. She quickly looked into the room and asked, “What about big brother Chu?”

She just happened to see Chu Youzhao hurriedly putting on her clothes, with her head lowered and a reddened face. Now, the three people outside all had extremely strange looks.

“You…” Even Jiang Luofu looked at Zu An with disbelief.

“Kid, how did you end up liking men?” Ji Dengtu asked, although he wasn’t convinced at all. After all, the two of them had shared pornographic novels before, so he knew this fellow’s tastes best.

“It’s not what you guys are thinking!” Zu An replied. He knew that they had misunderstood when he saw their expressions. He quickly explained to them what he was doing.

The others sighed in relief when they heard the truth. Jiang Luofu thought, I didn’t misjudge this guy after all.

Murong Qinghe was happy that big brother Chu hadn't been violated. However, she was even more ashamed for misunderstanding big brother Zu.

Ji Dengtu exclaimed in shock, “Expanding others' meridians through external means? Your cultivation actually became that high?!” He was the academy’s doctor, so he naturally knew just how hard that was. Not even he, with his medicinal skill, could accomplish that.

When she saw the shock on his face, Jiang Luofu felt strangely happy. She remarked, “Do you still not know? He unleashed a great slaughter in the capital two days ago, killing countless masters and grandmasters. He even killed an earth immortal instantly.”

Ji Dengtu was stunned. He had always been a bit muddle-headed for the last few years, not acting too concerned with matters of the outside world at all. Apart from learning of his teacher’s death and deciding to come back for a trip, he had just spent the entire trip drinking, and hadn't bothered trying to pick up any current events at all. However, he knew that with his sister-in-law’s personality, she wasn’t the sort to joke around. She wouldn’t even speak a lie.

The shock of hearing ‘killed an earth immortal instantly’ was just too great. He couldn't help but walk a few circles around Zu An, asking, “Kid, you weren’t possessed by someone, were you?”

Zu An replied in annoyance, “Who do you think could even do that if they possessed me?”

“It might have been that dog emperor; who knows?” Ji Dengtu harrumphed. “It’s easy enough to find out. What's the sequel to Teacher Bai’s story?”

Jiang Luofu was stunned, repeating, “Teacher Bai?”

Was there a teacher surnamed Bai in the academy?

Zu An retorted in annoyance, “You’re only saying that because you want the sequel, right?”

Now that they were talking about the things they used to chat about, both of them immediately felt much closer.

“Heheh, I am a bit impatient for it,” Ji Dengtu said, then voiced his surprise. “Hm? Wait a moment. You're now the headmaster, so the one who fits the description of Teacher Bai in this academy should be…”

Jiang Luofu frowned, asking, “What are you looking at me for?” Even though she didn’t know what he was saying, she knew from his expression that it wasn’t anything good.

Zu An almost choked. He said, “Stop being delusional; that’s just fiction. It has nothing to do with real life.” He was worried about embarrassing Jiang Luofu if she found out, so he quickly changed the topic, asking, “Right, why don’t I see Xiaoxi?”

He had just been reminiscing about that young lady. He hadn’t expected to see her father so soon. After all, Ji Dengtu really adored his precious daughter. There was no way he would leave her behind in Brightmoon City by herself.

“She went to collect some medicine,” Ji Dengtu said. He suddenly grew vigilant, as if he were looking at a pig who was going to swallow his pearl. He said, “You damn brat, keep some distance from my Xiaoxi! You'd better not set your eyes on her!”
