Borrowing a sword

Chapter 33 The person who shouldn’t be there
The tall, leggy neighbor next door is indeed practicing meditation.

Han Shuangjiang, who had just completed a full cycle of internal energy cultivation, heard Chu Huaixu's heart-wrenching screams from next door once again.

The pain intensified as three orifices were ruptured.

If the pain of the first breakthrough was like a motorcycle running over your whole body, and the second was like a motorcycle carrying passengers running over your whole body, then this time you've advanced three levels in one go, almost becoming a taxi driver.

Han Shuangjiang was immediately startled. Although she knew it was due to his cultivation technique, she still couldn't help but walk to the outside of the other person's bamboo house, wanting to check on him.

When she arrived at the door, she hesitated for a moment.

A few seconds later, perhaps hearing footsteps outside, Chu Huaixu's hoarse and weak voice came from inside the house.

"I, I'm fine—phew, it's just that my cultivation technique has broken through!"

He wasn't wearing an outer robe, and he was covered in cold sweat, practically practicing naked on the meditation cushion.

Chu Huaixu has a slender build, the kind that looks thin when dressed but muscular when undressed, without any overly large muscles.

My body is covered in sweat, and under the sunlight, my muscle lines become even more defined.

He discovered that after practicing the "Sword Refining Technique," his physical strength was continuously increasing, truly like he was refining his body.

However, it doesn't seem to be going down the path of a muscular hunk; there aren't any overly intimidating, unnatural muscles on his body.

"Okay, it's good that you're alright." A girl's voice came from outside, her tone still cold, not like she was concerned about anyone.

It's amazing that she has such a mature and sophisticated voice at such a young age.

Han Shuangjiang returned to her room and continued her cultivation.

She didn't expect Chu Huaixu to break through again so quickly.

"Has he already opened the third acupoint?"

"I need to work even harder; I don't want to be left behind by him," she thought.

After hearing Han Shuangjiang's departing footsteps, Chu Huaixu lay on the ground and began to hiss loudly, "Hiss—hiss—!"

He had been saving face and pretending to be strong, thinking she probably couldn't hear him now.

Although he had mentally prepared himself before the upgrade, he still went completely black just now and almost fainted again.

"Instead of going up level by level and then experiencing pain three times, it's better to get it all over at once. A short pain is worse than a long one." Chu Huaixu was already somewhat resigned to his fate.

As a result, he is still unconsciously experiencing full-body convulsions.

His body convulsed for quite a while before he gradually recovered.

Chu Huaixu stood up and struck forward with the first move of the "Jili Gulu Bagua Palm".

A series of palm strikes emanated from inside the room, much more powerful and domineering than before!

"Wow, that's impressive!" he exclaimed in amazement.

Although the "Sword Refining Technique" is similar to an evil art and the entire cultivation process is extremely dangerous, its approach of cultivating both internal and external strength is quite powerful, making him somewhat invincible during the Qi Refining stage.

"This situation is actually very suitable for my superhuman body control," Chu Huaixu thought to himself.

At that moment, he suddenly felt a deep sense of regret.

"If only I had been this fierce back in the dungeon."

"The sound of Liu Chengqi's ribs cracking was quite beautiful," he still savored.

At this thought, Chu Huaixu suddenly realized: "It seems that Han Shuangjiang hasn't fully mastered the [Eight Desolate Dragons] yet?"

"I'll teach her myself when I have some free time."

He opened his character panel and checked his remaining experience points.

He has 136 experience points left that he can freely allocate, which is far from enough for him to continue opening the sixth acupoint.

As night fell, Chu Huaixu finally got to eat the meal prepared by Han Shuangjiang herself.

"It tastes great," he complimented.

Perhaps it seemed like he was just being polite, but he went on to praise each dish in detail.

"That way, she'll probably be even more motivated to cook," a man with amazing culinary skills thought, deciding to remain out of the public eye and refuse to wash the dishes.

Han Shuangjiang nodded slightly on the surface, but she felt a little happy after receiving the approval.

After the meal, Chu Huaixu simply patted his butt and left.

The cold-faced housekeeper showed no emotion and silently cleared away his dishes.

The two weren't exactly living together, but it was more like they were sharing an apartment.

Chu Huaixu watched her back as she cleared the table. When Han Shuangjiang bent over, her pert and full buttocks would make her dress bulge, making her wide hips and buttocks even more obvious, plump and round.

Add to that her long, straight, and slender legs, and if she wore a cheongsam or a traditional Chinese dress, it would be a breathtaking sight.

But he wasn't tempted; he simply cast an [Information Detection] spell in the direction of the buttocks.

"The third acupoint is already open?" Chu Huaixu asked through gritted teeth with envy.

He estimated that Han Shuangjiang not only had a maximum value for the [Spiritual Embryo Attribute], but also a very high value for [Comprehension].

If it weren't for the fact that a normal person's body needs a short period of time to adapt after achieving enlightenment, she probably would have broken through to a higher realm even faster! The protagonist of this world is terrifyingly powerful.

After several twists and turns, the two of them were exhausted today and went to bed early.

The next day, the sky turned white in the east.

Han Shuangjiang got up early and started cooking porridge, keeping herself busy the whole time.

After the two finished breakfast, Chu Huaixu volunteered to teach her the [Eight Desolate Dragons] technique.

He certainly wouldn't be as sleazy as Liu Chengqi; he would directly start teaching.

“This area does indeed need to sink a bit.” He pointed to Han Shuangjiang’s slender waist.

Chu Huaixu's fingers clearly indicated there was still some distance to go, but the girl felt an itch and heat on her waist.

Perhaps it was because the two were standing quite close together.

"Come on, let me demonstrate it for you again." Chu Huaixu began to strike.

There's no need to learn the entire "Jili Gulu Baguazhang" (a type of martial arts technique).

After all, it's only for breaking the formation in the library, and it won't be used in actual combat many times.

Once you reach the first realm, you'll need to learn proper [techniques]. Mortal martial arts are too useless and not worth spending too much time on, since you'll reach the first realm soon anyway.

It's obvious that Han Shuangjiang has a very high level of comprehension.

After Chu Huaixu taught her a few times and corrected her movements, she mastered it completely.

Moreover, it looks rather beautiful when a beautiful woman strikes with her palm.

He began to understand why some girls online, despite recording videos of self-defense techniques, were jokingly referred to as "the 'gangster's excitement punch'" by netizens.

Just then, a group of uninvited guests arrived at the bamboo house.

The person in the lead was Liu Tianfeng, whose hair was half-white.

Liu Chengqi and Liu Chenggong followed obediently behind him, forcing a fawning smile on their faces.

A group of servants followed behind them, each carrying a gift box.

Actually, these things can be stored in a storage ring, but since it's a gift, it looks better this way.

Han Shuangjiang couldn't help but glance at Chu Huaixu, not expecting that he had actually guessed correctly.

Deacon Liu had figured it out: since he believed in their background, he should try to befriend them.

An apology is an apology, and a gift is a gift.

"Steward Liu, what brings you here?" Chu Huaixu asked knowingly, but didn't even glance at Liu Chengqi.

"Didn't I say yesterday that I would prepare a small gift for my nephew today? Of course, I will keep my word," Liu Tianfeng said with a smile.

But seeing the two of them today, the old man felt that something about them seemed different.

A quick scan with his divine sense revealed Liu Tianfeng to be utterly astonished; this time, his change in expression was genuine.

"Nephew and young lady, you've both broken through your cultivation levels! Congratulations!"

Han Shuangjiang opened the third acupoint, and that was that.

This Chu Huaixu actually broke through three orifices in one night!

"How can this be!"

"It's clearly a low-grade spiritual embryo!" A storm raged in Liu Tianfeng's heart.

All his doubts vanished at that moment.

If you say he's just an ordinary disciple, I simply don't believe it!

"You, put the things down carefully," Liu Tianfeng began instructing the servants.

After saying that, he looked at the two of them in their bamboo house and said, "If you need anything, just tell me."

"By the way, does my nephew need any menial tasks?" Deacon Liu began to flatter him from various angles.

Chu Huaixu certainly didn't have that thought; he would feel uncomfortable with another person present.

He glanced casually at the servants who were placing the gifts, and was about to refuse.

But soon, his gaze sharpened, fixing on a short, hunched-over handyman.

This person is probably less than 1.7 meters tall, with red lips, white teeth, and delicate features.

He doesn't have much of a masculine air about him; he's a typical man with feminine features.

"I want him!" Chu Huaixu suddenly pointed. He was more shocked than anyone else to have encountered this person.

"Why is he here?"

Xu Ziqing is one of the four main characters in the world of "Borrowing a Sword"!
