This scholar is a bit cruel

Chapter 301 Be a cow or a horse
"Wow!"

It seems they've caught a whiff of something.

Within the sea of ​​souls, the energy brought by the fire lotus seed boiled and surged, becoming increasingly volatile.

Detoxification has begun.

The moment their bodies touched, the restless energy within Luo Zijun indeed found an outlet.

At first, it flowed slowly like a trickle, then it became rapid and faster.

Finally, a ferocious tide!

It was almost dawn outside, and Luo Zijun was anxious, not daring to delay.

As a result, the energy is transferred faster and faster, and more and more intensely.

"boom--"

After all the restless energy was transferred, Luo Zijun's soul finally felt relaxed, and the restless soul power within her body gradually calmed down.

"call……"

He let out a long sigh of relief, finally feeling at ease.

But can this powerful energy that helped him break through the barrier really be teleported back tomorrow night? How can it be sent back?
"Fairy, how will you return it to me tomorrow night?"

He asked immediately.

The Moon Palace Fairy did not answer; her eyes were closed, and her eyelashes trembled, as if she were digesting and savoring the vast energy within her body.

After a long while, she stood up, tidied her messy hair, and said coldly, "Same."

"Same?"

Luo Zijun was taken aback: "What do you mean, the same?"

The Moon Palace Fairy said nothing more and walked out of the cave with an icy expression.

Luo Zijun realized that it should already be dawn outside, so she quickly got up and followed them out of the cave.

The two walked into the dark tunnel, one after the other.

"Remember what you said."

At this moment, the Moon Palace Fairy, who was walking in front, suddenly spoke in a cold tone.

Luo Zijun asked, "What did you say?"

The Moon Palace Fairy stopped and turned to look at him. Her jet-black hair and snow-white dress fluttered without wind as she coldly said, "You'll be my slave, at my beck and call."

Luo Zijun replied sincerely, "Of course, I will remember it and never forget it."

"Humph."

The Moon Palace Fairy snorted and continued walking forward.

Luo Zijun followed behind, carefully examining her own soul and the soul power in her soul sea, and asked in confusion, "Fairy, why do I feel that my soul seems a little weaker than yesterday?"

After the two walked out of the tunnel, the Moon Palace Fairy said calmly, "It's normal. With each breakthrough, your soul will weaken a bit. Once you successfully break through, your soul will be completely shattered, then reborn and re-condensed, becoming a soul that can split on its own."

Luo Zijun suddenly realized: "I see."

He suddenly worriedly asked, "What if we fail to break through at the last moment? Wouldn't our souls be almost transparent and dissipate in the wind?"

The Moon Palace Fairy said, "Yes, if we fail, our soul will be severely damaged, and it will also affect our physical body. It will take at least one to two years to cultivate and recover."

Luo Zijun asked with a solemn expression, "Fairy, what do you think my chances of breaking through this time are?"

The Moon Palace Fairy remained silent for a while, and after stepping onto the stone bridge, she said, "That depends on whether I can help you or not."

Luo Zijun was taken aback: "What do you mean?"

A cold wind blew across the stone bridge. The Moon Palace Fairy, her white dress fluttering and her black hair dancing, continued walking forward, coldly saying, "If I help you, ninety percent; if I don't help you, one percent."

Upon hearing this, Luo Zijun quickly followed and said, "Fairy, you must help me!"

The Moon Palace Fairy turned to look at him: "Why should I help you?"

Luo Zijun said, "We have already..."

"Ok?"

The Moon Palace Fairy's tone was unfriendly.

Luo Zijun quickly changed her words: "Because I promised the fairy that I would serve the fairy like a cow or a horse, at the fairy's beck and call. Only if I successfully break through can I become a powerful and qualified cow or a horse worthy of the fairy's status. If I cannot break through, my life will be in imminent danger. Even if I want to keep my promise, I am powerless to do so."

Never mind, let's just fool them for now.

To achieve a breakthrough, what is a little grievance? Besides, the two of them are already each other's servants, it's just that a certain proud and stubborn fairy refuses to admit it.

"That makes some sense."

The Moon Palace Fairy continued walking forward, and upon reaching the exit, she said, "Then I'll reluctantly continue to help you."

Luo Zijun asked, "How can I help?"

"Wow!"

A beam of light appeared, and the exit opened.

The moment the light enveloped the two of them, the Moon Palace Fairy said calmly, "It's to detoxify."

The two quickly returned to the ground.

Just as Luo Zijun was about to speak, a white shadow flashed before her eyes, and the Moon Palace Fairy had already flown into the sky and disappeared.

Meanwhile, the rising sun had already peeked over the distant green mountains.

Luo Zijun was momentarily dazed, but dared not delay, and immediately flew back to her room, her soul returning to her body.

Thankfully, I returned in time and am physically safe.

Lying in bed, the scenes of last night's breakthrough and the energy transfer with the fairy to detoxify her couldn't help but float into my mind. Thinking back on them carefully, I felt a unique sense of nostalgia.

I don't know when, but I had already fallen asleep.

When I woke up, it was already afternoon.

From the small courtyard outside the window, one could hear Xiao Huan, Zhi Yuan, and Bai Qing Tong, the sister-in-law, talking.

"Squeak..."

Luo Zijun got up and went to open the window.

Bai Qingtong, dressed in a light green dress, stood gracefully in the courtyard, smiling as she teased Xiao Huan. Hearing the noise, she turned to look at the window.

Xiao Huan looked over, her face flushed. "What are you talking about?"

Luo Zijun asked, though he had already heard it.

Bai Qingtong didn't hide anything, and said with a half-smile, "We were talking about Xiao Huan and Zhi Yuan's bellies. Your sister is also very concerned."

The two girls immediately blushed.

Luo Zijun looked speechless and said, "Can you stop being so boring? Do you need something from me?"

Bai Qingtong said, "Can we talk in your room?"

Luo Zijun thought for a moment, then walked out of the room and into the corridor, saying, "There are no outsiders here. Xiao Huan and Zhi Yuan are our own people and won't tell anyone. Just say what you need to say."

In broad daylight, talking alone with his sister-in-law in a room—if the neighbors saw him, wouldn't he be unable to defend himself? As for last time, there was a reason for that.

Bai Qingtong said, "I don't care, I'm just afraid my brother-in-law will be embarrassed."

Luo Zijun said, "I'm not afraid of embarrassment, go ahead and speak."

What's awkward about being in front of two little girls? They're already so familiar with each other that they don't even recognize each other.

Bai Qingtong said, "The night before last, my brother-in-law and I were in the same room, and he didn't come home all night..."

"stop!"

Luo Zijun's expression changed, and she immediately said, "Come in and talk!"

Bai Qingtong chuckled and went up into the corridor.

Xiao Huan and Zhi Yuan immediately opened their eyes wide and stared at the two of them.

"Don't listen to her nonsense!"

Luo Zijun glared at the two of them warningly, then led her sister-in-law into the house, closing the door behind her and asking, "What is it?"

Bai Qingtong smiled and said, "It was the night before last. We didn't come home all night, and Father, Mother, and Sister all asked me about it."

Luo Zijun asked, "What did you say?"

Bai Qingtong said, "I'm telling the truth. I said I went to the Grand View Garden to play. After my brother-in-law saw me, he wouldn't let me leave and made me stay with him. So I stayed with him all night and came back with him in the morning."

Luo Zijun: "..."

"What nonsense are you talking about? Do you really mean it?"

Bai Qingtong blinked her dark eyes and nodded, saying, "Yes, is there something wrong? Did I say something wrong? Didn't I spend the whole night with my brother-in-law?"

Luo Zijun covered her forehead, looking like she had a headache.

Seeing his expression, Bai Qingtong finally couldn't hold back and burst out laughing. Then she kept giggling, covering her mouth and laughing so hard she almost fell into his arms.

Luo Zijun rolled her eyes and said, "Alright, alright, I doubt you'd dare say something that would ruin your reputation."

Bai Qingtong stopped laughing and said, "Brother-in-law, you know that you asked me to stay with you for the night. A lone man and a lone woman, would that ruin my reputation? Now, all the young ladies and maids in the Grand View Garden, and your sister-in-law whom you just met, who knows what they're saying about us behind our backs. Brother-in-law and sister-in-law, a lone man and a lone woman, in a secluded little house, alone in one room, like dry wood meeting a raging fire, not returning home all night... tsk tsk..."

Luo Zijun quickly stopped her, saying, "This was indeed something I didn't consider carefully. Consider it a favor I owe you. If you need anything in the future, just let me know."

Bai Qingtong snorted, "Can a sister-in-law order her brother-in-law around?"

Luo Zijun said, "Of course, it's only natural and reasonable for a sister-in-law to order her brother-in-law around."

Bai Qingtong asked, "Then can brother-in-law be a slave to his sister-in-law?"

Um... to be a slave?
Luo Zijun suddenly remembered how she had served the fairy like a slave last night. Why do women nowadays like to make men do all that work for them? Is this some kind of rebellion against the Heavenly Order?

"How can that be? After all, my brother-in-law is an elder. How can he be treated like a slave by a junior?"

Luo Zijun immediately refused.

Bai Qingtong snorted coldly and said, "Brother-in-law, don't forget that you owe me a lot of favors. I even gave you my own blood essence and hair. Are you unwilling to be my slave?"

When Luo Zijun heard about the embarrassing incident from the past, she could only say, "What I mean is that the phrase 'working like a cow or a horse' is not appropriate between a brother-in-law and sister-in-law, but whatever you ask of me, I will do my best to satisfy you."

Bai Qingtong said, "Then I'll use the phrase 'to be a cow or a horse' anyway, so what? Does this phrase have some other meaning?"

Luo Zijun had no choice but to say, "Alright, whatever. What do you want me to do for you?"

Bai Qingtong then let him off the hook, saying, "I haven't thought about it yet, but just don't forget, brother-in-law. If I ask you to do something, you can't make excuses."

Luo Zijun said, "Of course not."

Bai Qingtong was satisfied with his attitude. After looking around the room, she got down to business: "Marquis Wei Yang has discovered that his son is missing and is sending people to search for him. They should be able to find the Grand View Garden soon. After all, many people saw that young Marquis Wei stopping Daiyu on the street that day. Brother-in-law, is there anything you need me to say to Daiyu?"

Luo Zijun pondered for a moment and said, "You don't need to explain. No one else knows about what happened that night except the two of us. If someone really comes looking for you, Miss Lin, just tell the truth. If you go out of your way to explain, you might expose your secret."

Bai Qingtong said, "Then I think Marquis Wei Yang will definitely find out about you soon, after all, the two of you had an unpleasant incident that day."

Luo Zijun said, "That would be best, as long as he doesn't cause trouble at the Grand View Garden anymore. If he finds me, I'll just say one thing: I don't know. He has no evidence, so what can he do to me?"

Bai Qingtong said, "I've already sent guards to keep watch in the Grand View Garden. They'll report back immediately if anything happens. Don't worry, brother-in-law, your harem will be well taken care of by your sister-in-law. I'm just afraid that if my sister finds out, she'll blame me. In that case, brother-in-law, you'll have to help me."

Luo Zijun: "..."

Bai Qingtong joked and added, "If Marquis Weiyang comes looking for us, I'll have Father speak to him. Brother-in-law, don't worry. He's just a mere marquis; the Bai family isn't afraid of him."

Luo Zijun said, "Of course I'm not afraid."

At that moment, he suddenly thought of the beautiful, alluring, and enigmatic queen in the palace, with her magnificent figure and captivating charm.

"Xiao Huan, what are they doing inside, hiding in the dark with the door closed, in broad daylight?"

Just then, a soft, pink voice suddenly came from the courtyard outside.

Luo Zijun quickly gestured for her sister-in-law to leave.

Bai Qingtong suppressed a laugh, went to open the door, walked out, and turned back to the room, deliberately trying to cover up the truth, saying, "Brother-in-law, I remember, I will never tell anyone else about this. This is a little secret between the two of us, a little secret between brother-in-law and sister-in-law!"

Pinky looked over with suspicion.

Luo Zijun's lips twitched, and she glared at her sister-in-law, saying, "Stop fooling around. Go back and read the article I just taught you a few more times. Read a book a hundred times, and its meaning will become clear."

Bai Qingtong chuckled and said, "Yes, brother-in-law, sister-in-law obeys."

After saying that, he smiled and left.

"Humph!"

Seeing this, Fenfen became even more suspicious.

Luo Zijun ignored the girl, thought for a moment, and prepared to go out to see her senior sister and tell her that she had advanced to become a seventh-level martial artist.
