Chapter 220 Another Cold
Yuan Caiwei quickly noticed several faces appearing and disappearing outside the window. She stared at them with wide eyes, her cheeks flushing slightly, but her expression turned icy.

She was a famous, aloof female alchemist on Dan Mountain, and she wasn't used to showing her docile appearance to them.

So Yuan Caiwei reached out and untied the ribbon on the car window, then lowered the curtain next to her.

Big Silly Sister, what are you doing? I want to see my brother-in-law!

Yuan Chen roared, while the Dan Sect disciples beside him watched as their Holy Maiden personally lowered the curtains, their expressions complicated as they withdrew their gazes.

They couldn't imagine what might happen inside that carriage with the bed, and their hearts turned green with envy.

Ji You noticed Yuan Caiwei's action and looked away from the map: "Why did you suddenly draw the curtains?"

"Hmm, it's a bit sunny."

Yuan Caiwei raised her eyes, her round toes involuntarily splayed slightly, pink and delicate like a blooming lotus.

In reality, the relationship between Ji You and Yuan Caiwei is far from one where they can have an enduring bond.

Especially with a proud and jealous first wife around, she's not one to be left behind. If she's not allowed to be number one, then nobody else can enjoy it.

Therefore, Ji You was somewhat of a gentleman. He and the daughter of the Dan Sect simply sat facing each other, drinking tea, chatting, and enjoying the scenery, occasionally glancing at her snow-white little feet.

He had seen those jade-like feet before in the medicinal pool. Back then, Yuan Caiwei had fallen into his lap, almost sitting right in, and her feet nearly kicked him in the face.
After leaving the imperial city, the official road leading to Zhongzhou was not empty.

Because along the way, one could often see other prominent families also heading to Zhongzhou, with flags bearing their family crests flying in the wind on their carriages.

He wasn't very familiar with these family crests, but Yuan Caiwei knew quite a few and would tell him about the ones she recognized.

One of the families came from the south, and according to Yuan Caiwei, it was a family that relied on Lingjian Mountain and was close to the Tianjian Peak lineage.

So the two of them took this opportunity to talk about the young appraiser of Lingjian Mountain.

[After being spanked by her sister's boyfriend, she talked about her sister with him.]

“I’ve known the appraiser’s sister since we were little. Back then, our Dan Sect and Lingjian Mountain had a good relationship. This was mainly because an elder in our family was supposed to marry into Lingjian Mountain, but the previous leader of Lingjian Mountain disappeared and the matter was left unresolved.”

“When the appraiser’s sister was a child, she was very naughty and always wanted to go out to play. She couldn’t stay still at all, so I find it hard to imagine that she could be in seclusion for several years.”

"That must have been a very difficult time for her."

"She didn't have many friends, but I was one of them. Back then, we even said we would be sisters for life and never be apart."

Upon hearing her words, Ji You paused slightly in the hand holding the teacup.

This was the first time he had heard this story, and he thought to himself, "See? Some flags just can't be set lightly."

Yuan Caiwei fell silent for a moment upon thinking about this, thinking that she would probably have to find an opportunity to start calling her "sister" in a few days to test the waters.

Having been the older sister for half my life, I suddenly became the younger sister. It's truly amazing.

She glanced up at Ji You and noticed that Ji You was lost in thought, as if she had thought of something, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but turn up slightly.

That's the expression she's making; Yuan Caiwei's eyelashes trembled slightly.

She had noticed before that whenever someone mentioned the appraiser's sister, Young Master Ji would always react like this.

That affection was truly profound, and Yuan Caiwei, being a woman, easily sensed it.

"What about you?"

"I?"

Ji You looked at her after regaining her senses: "What were you like when you were little?"

After listening, Yuan Caiwei thought for a moment and said, "There's nothing special about it. I just memorized the pill formulas, watched my father refine pills, and then tried to refine pills myself when I got older. Later, I tutored Yuan Chen, hoping that one day he could support the Pill Sect."

Ji You nodded after hearing this, thinking to herself that Yuan Caiwei was still better off, at least she had a younger brother she could bully whenever she wanted.

Yan Shuyi is an only child. She has been alone since childhood and was placed in a high position at a young age, where she has to bear the coldness of being at the top.

But whether it's fifty steps or a hundred steps, in the end, they are all women swept along by fate.

Yuan Caiwei looked at Ji You and asked, "Where is the young master?"

Ji You turned to look at the view outside the other window, whose curtains were not drawn: "I was better off than you when I was little. I grew up with many older brothers and sisters, and then I took care of many younger brothers and sisters. I always had playmates to play with."

"It's a big family."

"Yes."

Yuan Caiwei glanced at Ji You: "How did Young Master Ji and Sister Jianzhu meet?"

Ji You chuckled softly: "It was a chance encounter during my cultivation. She lied to me, saying she was a fairy from heaven. I didn't believe her, and that's how we met."

The two then talked about their first meeting in Qiling. At that time, he thought Yuan Caiwei was a very rational woman who always considered her younger brother and the Dan Sect when she did things, and had the aura of a daughter of the Dan Sect.

Unlike Yan Shuyi, who was mischievous in appearance but possessed a refined temperament cultivated by a sense of responsibility, Yuan Caiwei was truly devoted to her family at the time.

When Yuan Chen went into the mountains to rescue her, she scolded him.

At that time, Yuan Caiwei probably thought she would rather die than let her younger brother be in danger.

Therefore, Ji You actually admires Yuan Caiwei and has never had any ill feelings towards her, because this is something he has never done.

However, Yuan Caiwei was not very happy when he brought this up.

Because she felt that she was not very polite to Ji You when they first met, saying that the perfection of the lower three realms was not within her scope of choosing a husband, and that the transaction had to be settled on a cash basis, the memory of their first meeting was not pleasant in her mind.

Actually, she didn't want to get married at that time. Someone of a higher social standing probably wouldn't be in her shortlist of husbands.

Their Dan Sect lacks combat power, and every woman has the responsibility to marry into the family. Compared to those immortal cultivators, they have fewer choices.

Yuan Caiwei had seen many female alchemists used for marriage alliances, so she had always been resistant to marriage alliances.

At that time, her father kept introducing her to promising young men, but she kept putting it off. Sometimes she secretly thought that if she could wait until no one wanted her, she might be able to serve the Daoist alchemy profession for the rest of her life.

At that time, she felt the same way about Ji You.

But the first encounter between people only happens once, and that can't be changed.

When Yuan Caiwei heard him mention the cash-on-delivery transaction, her eyelashes trembled slightly: "Young Master Ji, did you think I was vulgar and had no taste back then?"

"I just feel that choosing a son-in-law for the sake of the family means losing one's own preferences, which is a bit pitiful."

"anything else?"

"She's a good older sister."

It gets tiring to stay in one position for a long time. Yuan Caiwei, who was sitting cross-legged, stretched out her legs and was lost in thought, her feet wobbling slightly.

As she swayed, Ji You flicked her delicate pink toes with a "smack," snapping Yuan Caiwei back to her senses, her face instantly turning slightly red.

That's so unfair, waving food in front of you.

Yuan Caiwei pulled her toes back under her skirt and remained silent for a long time, but soon she pretended to be nonchalant and stretched them out again.
Private, one-on-one time can easily bring people closer. Even if two complete strangers are locked up together and do nothing, they will grow closer and closer. This is the attraction between opposite sexes.

Therefore, Yuan Caiwei gradually relaxed around Ji You, no longer having the same sense of propriety as before. At this moment, she deliberately swayed, and then "whoosh" withdrew when Ji You raised his hand, her eyes revealing a cunning hidden behind her knowledge and manners.

Ji You glanced at her, calmly put down his teacup, and then saw those crystal-clear, jade-like feet quietly stretch out once more, followed by a sudden reach.

With a "snap," my smooth, jade-like toe was grabbed, and the delicate, warm, and soft sensation was transferred to my palm.

After refining her body, Ji You's spiritual sense and reaction speed became incomparably strong, and even troublesome feet like these couldn't escape her grasp.

Then she gently tickled the smooth soles of her feet and saw the Dan Sect's daughter's cheeks flushed red, struggling silently, her pink toenails shimmering with a layer of light.

The buttocks were merely a cover; what Young Master Ji truly loved most were the feet…

Yuan Caiwei recalled the faint teeth marks she had seen on Yan Shuyi's toes during those few days in Xinyuan. At the time, she was not quite sure and thought it was too lewd, but now she was slowly becoming more certain.

The delicate jade feet of the Dan Sect's daughter were being played with for a while. At first, she endured it and pretended not to know, but in the end she couldn't help but let out a soft moan of "Young Master."

"Do you still dare?"

"You still dare..."

The carriage traveled all the way until the afternoon sun began to set, and then night began to fall, and the sky became filled with stars.

During the trip, the group stopped in a small town along the way to have a meal.

Cultivators can choose not to eat, but alchemists still need to. In addition, Ji You's body requires a greater intake, so he also needs to eat more.

Yuan Caiwei's cheeks were flushed as she followed Ji You's tall figure out of the car, her toes still feeling a little tingly.

It turned red from being handled, but it wasn't bitten.

Ji You sat down with Yuan Chen, who had come down earlier, and showed him her appetite, leaving Yuan Chen stunned.

"Brother-in-law, won't you gain weight if you eat like this?"

"will not."

Ji You patted her lower abdomen: "I even have abs."

Yuan Chen didn't believe it, so he lifted the lid and took a look, and was somewhat amazed.

The group from Danzong and Tianshu Academy planned to travel to Zhongxing County overnight, so the overnight train did not stop. However, after dinner, no one was in a hurry to get on the train, probably because they felt uncomfortable in the cramped space and wanted to rest for a while longer.

Ji You went to relieve herself and saw Yuan Chen looking at Yuan Caiwei: "Sister, guess if your brother-in-law has abs?"

Yuan Caiwei was still thinking about what happened in the car when she heard the voice and looked up: "Of course I have." "You've seen it, sister?"

"I've seen more than just abs, I've seen all kinds of muscles too."

Yuan Caiwei muttered to herself, thinking to herself, "Isn't this all your doing? You tricked me and Young Master Ji into the same medicinal pool, and we saw everything."

A fiery shape appeared in the mind of the Dan Sect's daughter.

I've heard that Zhongxing County has hot springs, and the water is said to be imbued with spiritual energy, making it quite popular among cultivators. I wonder if I'll be tricked into going there again.

Yuan Chen had finished his meal and looked up at his elder sister: "Elder sister, may I go back to your carriage?"

Yuan Caiwei frowned slightly: "Why?"

"My senior brother's feet smell awful, it's unbearable..."

After pondering for a long time, Yuan Caiwei clasped her waist with a jade buckle, took out a pill, and handed it to her younger brother.

Yuan Chen took the pill and glanced at it: "What kind of pill is this?"

"The Spirit Extinguishing Pill can be used to prevent the body from emitting its scent when the patient is in a state of suspended animation."

"Sister, am I really her biological sister? If this pill isn't neutralized in time, I'll die."

Yuan Caiwei couldn't help but chuckle at his heartbroken expression: "I was just kidding. It's a pill that blocks the five senses, and it can also block the sense of smell."

Yuan Chen held the pill in his hand, watching his brother-in-law return from the thatched hut, and finally understood what it meant to do something in vain.

Then his sister urged him to go back to that smelly carriage.

Ji You returned to the carriage and glanced at the empty seat: "Isn't Yuan Chen coming with us?"

Yuan Caiwei nodded seriously: "I called him just now, but he didn't come. He said he wanted to chat with his senior brother."

"She's really stubborn."

"He's been like this since he was a child..."

After the meal, everyone returned to the carriage and continued to bump along in the night.

Yuan Caiwei cherished the time she spent with Ji You. At this moment, she took out another energy pill from her belt, intending to take it with water and get through the long night with him.

However, Ji You felt that it was best not to take some pills, so he urged her to go to sleep.

Yuan Caiwei had said last time that a woman should listen to her husband in everything, but this time she was a bit willful: "After arriving in Zhongxing County, I will go with my father to the sacred site of the ancient sages, and I will not be able to return for half a month."

Ji You looked up after hearing this: "The sacred site of the sages is to be opened ahead of schedule?"

"It's always been like this. Every time it's opened, it takes a long time to repair the cracks, so we need alchemists to stay here. By the time we get back, Young Master Ji will probably be busy with the competition."

As Yuan Caiwei was speaking, she suddenly looked up and glanced at Ji You.

Women are generally thoughtful and observant.

As the carriage traveled along, she could clearly sense that the closer they got to Zhongxing County, the happier Young Master Ji became. It was obvious that this happiness stemmed from the fact that they were about to meet the appraiser's sister.

So his movements became much more disciplined, and he lost interest in his own feet, probably because he was afraid his sister would be jealous.

She didn't actually want to compete, because the appraiser's sister had known him the longest, and she was ultimately just an outsider.

Interfering in the relationship between two people who are head over heels for each other is far worse than interfering in the relationship between two people who are only superficially compatible.

But she still held a sliver of hope that Ji You wouldn't make it too obvious; if he didn't want the appraiser's sister to know, she wouldn't say anything.

Just then, Ji You suddenly got up from the carriage and walked towards her.

Before Yuan Caiwei could react, Ji You grabbed her legs and lifted her up from the cushion. She instinctively wrapped her arms around his neck, her small, delicate feet sticking up in the air.

Before he could struggle, he was carried onto the bed and sank into the soft cushions, staring blankly at Ji You.

"Go to sleep, I'm going to cultivate."

Yuan Caiwei suddenly felt like acting cute, puffing out her cheeks and looking at him: "I don't want to sleep."

Ji You leaned closer: "Why aren't you asleep?"

"Young Master is naturally happy to see the Appraiser's sister tomorrow and can't wait for the night to pass. But Caiwei, Caiwei won't be able to see Young Master for a long time..."

"It's only half a month, isn't it?"

Yuan Caiwei was somewhat stubborn: "But Caiwei has been waiting for half a year before this half month. We will arrive in Zhongxing County tomorrow. We will just talk for a while. It's not like Caiwei hasn't stayed up all night before."

After hearing this, Ji You said, "But I don't want to talk to you anymore."

Yuan Caiwei was stunned upon hearing this, then opened her mouth, her eyelids drooped, and she suddenly seemed to have lost all her strength.

She could naturally take advantage of the slight affection Ji You showed her to act coquettishly, but if there was no affection at all, it wouldn't be acting coquettishly but annoying.

She gently released her grip on Ji You's clothes and obediently lay down, but before she could touch the bed, she was supported by a hand.

Before she could react, she felt Ji You press against her, and her red lips were instantly captured in his mouth.

The sudden, soft touch made Yuan Caiwei freeze instantly, her ten plump toes involuntarily curling together.

Son...

With a soft call in her heart, Yuan Caiwei went limp, her eyes obediently closed, and her breathing involuntarily became heavier.

She didn't know how long the kiss lasted, but the woman from the Dan Sect felt completely exhausted. Suddenly, she felt a pat on the buttocks and opened her eyes with a smacking sound, her gaze filled with confusion.

After a moment of stunned silence, she seemed to understand something. Her pearly teeth parted slightly, and her tongue was instantly rolled out, her waist trembling slightly.

Without realizing it, she tightened her arms around Ji You, closed her eyes again, and her eyelashes trembled violently.

Ji You opened her eyes and looked at her, seeing her obedient face and clumsy response, and wondered if she would open her eyes.

Sure enough, she opened her eyes slightly after a short while, but when she saw that Ji You also had her eyes open, she quickly closed them again, shrinking even more.

The body of the Dan Sect's daughter was extremely delicate, and her skin was very smooth. Her body fragrance was the same as Yan Shuyi's, making it difficult for people to resist.

After a long while, their intertwined red lips separated with a "pop".

Yuan Caiwei's mouth was slightly open, and she was panting. Her hand was still clutching his clothes, and her eyes were filled with reluctance.

It turns out that I didn't want to talk because I needed to use my mouth to do something else, not because I found her annoying.

The daughter of the Dan Sect looked on timidly, pursing her lips, feeling a burning sensation on her mouth.

Back in the new year, she always thought that Ji You would bite her with the same wound as the appraiser's sister, but when she actually got kissed, she realized that she was completely dumbfounded.

She admired the younger sister, no, the older sister, of the appraiser, for being able to bite back in this situation.

Ji You sat back down on the thick blanket and breathed heavily for a while.

"Can I go to sleep now?"

"I really don't want to sleep anymore."

"?"

Ji You turned to look at Yuan Caiwei and thought to herself, "Yan Shuyi, who is usually arrogant and domineering, becomes obedient after being kissed, but this one, who is usually obedient, becomes naughty after being kissed. They're doing the opposite of me."

Seeing the other person's slightly furrowed brows, Yuan Caiwei shrank back and obediently pulled the blanket in front of her, looking very compliant.

As the night deepened, the carriage continued its journey under the stars, finally stopping at Wutong County at dawn.

The sacred site of the ancient sages is located between Fengzhou and Zhongzhou, so the disciples of the Dan Sect had to change their route in Wutong County.

As the first rays of dawn broke, the Dan Sect began to separate from the Heavenly Academy by carriage.

The disciples accompanying the head of the academy will escort them, so there's no need to worry about their safety.

Yuan Caiwei woke up relatively early, because the small bed in the carriage was really not very comfortable. Then, she looked up and saw Ji You drinking tea. She moved her jade feet off the bed to the floor and looked at him with moist eyes.

After Yuan Chen finished preparing the carriage, he went to his sister's carriage and called out a few times from outside the carriage. He then heard a soft clicking sound.

The Danzong daughter, who was not fully awake, softened even more as Ji You held her in his arms and kissed her deeply.

Yuan Chen waited outside the carriage for a long time, until the sun was high in the sky, when he finally saw his rosy-cheeked older sister lift the carriage curtain.

"Sister?"

"Huh~?"

"Sister, have you caught a cold?"

"What nonsense are you talking about? Hurry up and go. The matter of the Holy Land cannot be delayed."

Looking at his older sister's rosy lips and her suddenly serious expression, Yuan Chen couldn't help but shrink his head back.

At this moment, Ji You watched them leave through the car window and saw the Dan Sect's daughter turn back countless times along the way.

Next up is a jealous person, and Ji You feels like she'll either be stabbed to death or bitten to death.

The Heavenly Dao Assembly is supposed to be a gathering for cultivating immortality, but surprisingly, the most useless person there is the mouth.
