Chaotic World of Martial Arts: I Have a Spirit Pearl of Desire

[Desire 1: It's so late, why hasn't Chen You returned yet? I hope Chen You comes back safely. (Completion rewards 20 Desire Points.)]

[Desire 2: My sister's illness is worse today! I went to inquire about the price of three-colored fish, but the catch is scarce this year, and the price has risen to 30 taels, which is simply unaffordable! (Completion will earn 100 Desire Points.)]

Chen You frowned. Had Xu Yue's illness worsened?

So, my desire level increased as a result!

"But it's alright, I've already brought the tricolor fish back."

Chen You breathed a sigh of relief.

When Xu Qiuxue saw Chen You's figure appear in her field of vision, her tense body instantly relaxed, and a relieved smile appeared on her face.

She quickly called into the house, "Yueyue, your brother Chen is back!"

After calling out, Xu Qiuxue quickly came to greet her.

"Chen You, why are you so late today?"

"After selling the venison, I saw it was still early, so I went fishing! Little did I expect..."

Chen You deliberately kept everyone in suspense, then put down the sack and said with a smile, "Master's wife, look what's inside?"

Xu Qiuxue looked at the burlap sack with curiosity.

There's a fishy smell inside!

"You caught a fish?" Xu Qiuxue raised an eyebrow. "It looks like it's quite heavy."

Upon opening it, Xu Qiuxue's delicate body trembled, trembled twice, trembled a third time...

Chen You quickly helped her up.

"Master's wife, there are three-colored fish in here! And there are two of them!"

"Two...that's great, Yueyue is saved!"

"Yes, Yueyue wasn't feeling well, but after eating this three-colored fish, she recovered," Chen You said.

"Chen You, I don't know how to thank you enough..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Chen You's desires reached their limit.

[Hoping Chen You returns safely. (Completed, gained 20 Desire Points.)]

[I want to feed my younger sister, Xu Yue, the Three-Colored Fish! (Completed, 100 Desire Points earned.)]

"Brother Chen You," Xu Yue said, stepping out at that moment. She immediately noticed the sack he was carrying, her big eyes filled with curiosity. "Is this a tricolor fish? My sister said that if I eat this, I won't get sick!"

"Yes, Yueyue. I went fishing for it on purpose, I didn't expect to be so lucky." Chen You smiled and affectionately patted Xu Yue's head.

"Brother Chen You, you're amazing!" the little girl said admiringly.

"Go and rest, I'll make you some fish soup right away!"

"Mmm!" Xu Yue nodded obediently and ran back into the house.

After Xu Yue went inside, Chen You turned to Xu Qiuxue and said, "Master's wife, go and start the fire. I'll clean the fish and stew it!"

"Okay," Xu Qiuxue replied softly. At that moment, the grievances and emotions that had been suppressed for so long surged into her heart, her eyes welled up with tears, and she couldn't stop them from falling.

But this time, she wasn't sad, but moved.

A moment later, the room was filled with the aroma of fish, the rich fragrance permeating every corner.

Chen You deftly ladled out a large bowl of fish soup and handed it to Xu Yue, then ladled one for Xu Qiuxue and herself as well.

"Wow, this fish smells so good..."

Xu Yue held the steaming porcelain bowl in both hands, sniffing it constantly with her little nose, her big eyes sparkling.

"Eat up," Chen You said with a smile, her tone gentle.

He then turned to Xu Qiuxue, his expression becoming serious: "Master's wife, I ran into Lin Hu today."

"Oh? He bullied you?" Xu Qiuxue's heart tightened immediately, and even the hand holding the bowl trembled slightly.

"Yes, he warned me to stay away from you. And he also said..." Chen You paused, then said in a deep voice, "Even if we return the money, he won't let us off the hook!"

"That beast!" Xu Qiuxue trembled with rage, gritting her teeth.

Originally, seeing Chen You catch the precious tricolor fish had given her a glimmer of hope to pay off her debts, but after hearing Lin Hu's words, all that remained in her heart was deep despair.

"Brother Chen You," Xu Yue said, putting down her bowl and anxiously tugging at Chen You's sleeve, "Once I eat the treasure fish, I'll be better, and we can leave this place and go somewhere else! Please don't leave us..."

As they were talking, desire arose in both women.

[Desire: I hope you won't leave. (Completion grants 10 Desire Points.)]

"Don't worry, how could I possibly leave?" Chen You shook her head. "Not only will I not leave, but I've decided to go to the martial arts school to train!! Only by training can I avoid being bullied by people like Lin Hu!"

"What? Practicing martial arts?" Xu Qiuxue was stunned.

In her mind, practicing martial arts required a lot of money.

Right now, they only have a dozen or so taels of silver at most.

Of course, with the remaining tricolor fish, there's enough for martial arts practice.

The problem is, it's still very difficult to make a name for yourself in it.

"Chen You, have you thought this through?"

"Yes, let's go to the Flame Sun Martial Arts School! If we join that school and perform well, we can even get protection!"

Chen You did not reveal anything about the wild ginseng.

After all, such prophetic events are truly unbelievable.

Seeing Chen You's resolute attitude, Xu Qiuxue nodded and said, "Since you want to learn martial arts, your master's wife will definitely support you! I'll take out all the money."

"No need, keep that money for household expenses! I'll just take the three-colored fish out tomorrow."

"it is good."

Xu Qiuxue nodded.

As she ate the sweet fish and looked at the confident Chen You, she felt an indescribable sense of peace.

Perhaps, after Chen You learns martial arts, his life will really get better and better.

After Xu Yue finished eating the fish, the effect was immediate.

The little girl's previously sickly face gradually regained its color and became rosy.

The little hands and feet that felt cold to the touch before are now warm and cozy.

Not only Xu Yue, but Xu Qiuxue and Chen You also felt a warm current coursing through their limbs and bones after finishing their meal, making their bodies feel extremely hot.

This is the wonder of the treasure fish; even ordinary people can benefit from eating it to improve their health and dispel ailments.

As Xu Yue's body recovered, her desire level was also completed.

[I want to get better soon. (Completed, gained 100 Desire Points.)]

"Phew, I have 240 Desire Points now!"

Chen You felt an inexplicable sense of peace.

As night fell, the cold wind howled outside the window.

Xu Yue, who had been up all day, was now fast asleep.

Chen You sat by the oil lamp, clumsily mending a torn old cotton coat.

This was scratched by a tree branch when I went out today.

A cotton-padded coat is quite valuable, but everyone just mends and patches it up to make do.

However, for a grown man accustomed to wielding a machete and fishing rod, it looked incredibly awkward to see him holding a fine embroidery needle.

"Chen You, I can tell you can't sew. Let me help you."

Xu Qiuxue gently pushed the door open and walked in. Seeing his comical movements, she couldn't help but smile slightly and naturally took the needle, thread and cotton coat from his hands.

Looking at Xu Qiuxue's gentle and virtuous appearance, Chen You was momentarily captivated.

What man doesn't like a virtuous wife and loving mother?

Perhaps sensing Chen You's gaze, Xu Qiuxue blushed and asked, "What are you looking at?"

"Master's wife, your embroidery is so beautiful."

"Of course, I used to be a tailor. I'll make you a new dress later."

"Thank you, Master's wife."

"No need to thank me. If it weren't for you, Yueyue and I wouldn't know what to do right now." Xu Qiuxue suddenly looked at Chen You gratefully.

at the same time.

Chen You also saw Xu Qiuxue's desire.

Upon seeing this desire, Chen You felt a surge of excitement.

I never expected my teacher's wife to have such thoughts...
