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…
