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

Seeing the expectant looks on his two underlings' faces, Feng Liqiang frowned slightly and said disdainfully, "Hmph, are you all brain-dead? Baicaotang has already killed Lin Hu, and we might be going to have a fight with Baicaotang next! It's not wise to cause any trouble right now, understand?"

"But Master, Chen You is nothing but a country bumpkin..."

*Smack!*

Feng Liqiang slapped the underling across the face, making him see stars and roll on the ground several times while clutching his cheek.

Feng Liqiang glared at him and warned, enunciating each word clearly, "Do you want our Black Tiger Gang to fight alongside Baicaotang and Yanyang Martial Arts School at the same time?! You all better remember this: in the coming days, anyone who dares to touch Chen You and his master's wife, I'll rip their head off!"

"Yes, yes, yes!"

The underlings nodded vigorously.

[Information 1: Feng Liqiang's henchmen suggested killing you and kidnapping Xu Qiuxue, but Feng Liqiang rejected the idea and angrily rebuked them, saying that he was about to start a war with Baicaotang and didn't want any unnecessary complications.]

[Information 2: Fang Zheng, the young master of Baicaotang, has sent his henchman Scarface to secretly follow you. Once you catch a second-grade treasure fish, he'll kill you.]

[Message 3: Senior Sister Yang Zhenzhen continued treating her athlete's foot today using your method. The odor has mostly disappeared, and she's in a good mood. She's decided to give you more pointers next time.]

"It seems that this attempt to shift the blame has really succeeded. It won't be long before the Black Tiger Gang and the Hundred Herbs Hall start fighting."

Chen You pondered in his heart.

As for that scar...

Chen You frowned: "Strength? With strength, why would we need to fear him?"

His gaze fell upon the power displayed on the rosary beads.

Chen You: 19 years old

[Cultivation Level: Mid-Stage First Rank]

[Skill: Fishing Techniques (Minor Mastery)]

[Technique: Three Yang Fist (Perfect)]

Desire level: 250.

"I'll find an opportunity to practice the Blood Strengthening Breathing Technique later and improve my cultivation level."

Inside the room, the oil lamp cast a soft glow as Xu Qiuxue patiently taught Xu Yue to recognize characters.

Hearing the slight sound of the wooden gate in the courtyard opening, the two women tensed up and quickly put down their books to go out and greet the visitors.

When Xu Yue saw Chen You walk in unharmed, a bright smile immediately bloomed on her face, and she exclaimed with delight, "Brother Chen, you're finally back!"

"Yes, you're back." Chen You smiled and gently rubbed Xu Yue's head. "Those people just came to ask me some questions. Now that everything is clear, they won't be coming back."

"Really?" Xu Yue looked up at him curiously.

"Of course it's true. When have I ever lied to you?" Chen You replied gently.

"Great!" Xu Yue clapped her hands happily, then patted her flat little belly. "By the way, Brother Chen, let's eat quickly, Yueyue's stomach is growling."

"Huh? You haven't eaten yet?" Chen You asked, somewhat surprised.

"My sister said she'd wait for you to come back so we could eat together," Xu Yue blurted out.

Upon hearing this, Xu Qiuxue's pretty face flushed slightly. She awkwardly avoided Chen You's gaze and said softly, "Let's go, wash our hands and eat. The food is still warm in the pot."

Steaming hot food was quickly set on the table.

Today's dishes were exceptionally plentiful, including a plate of glistening, tempting braised pork and a large pot of fragrant mixed fish stew.

Xu Yue picked up a piece of tender fish and put it in her mouth, her eyes immediately lighting up: "Brother Chen, did you catch all these small fish?"

"Yes, this fish is quite big and very strong," Chen You replied with a smile.

"This fish is so delicious, and the soup is so good too!" Xu Yue ate with great relish, her face full of longing. "I want to learn to fish someday, and catch lots and lots of big fish for my sister and Brother Chen to eat..."

"Okay, I'll teach you when you're a little older." Chen You looked at the sensible Xu Yue and felt a warmth in her heart. She smiled and agreed.

As night fell, Chen You practiced the Three Yang Fist alone.

At that moment, the door opened and Xu Qiuxue walked in.

"Is Yueyue asleep?"

"Hmm, I'm asleep. Are those people really alright today?" Xu Qiuxue asked worriedly.

"Don't worry, I won't come back if anything happens."

Seeing that Xu Qiuxue was still worried, Chen You briefly explained the situation.

Finally, he said, "In that case, this is a matter between the Black Tiger Gang and the Hundred Herbs Hall, and has nothing to do with me!"

"That's good."

Xu Qiuxue's mouth opened and closed slightly in surprise.

What Chen You just said sounded like a novel to her, and she found it hard to believe.

"So, don't worry..."

Chen You looked at Xu Qiuxue's small mouth and grabbed her small hand.

"Don't do this..."

Xu Qiuxue is as delicate as a mosquito or fly.

But the displayed desire is: [I want you to hold her hand tightly and caress her! (Completion will earn 10 Desire Points.)]

"You say no, but you really want it..."

Chen You naturally grabbed her hand tightly, "Master's wife, you were so good last night, I want more..."

Xu Qiuxue said reproachfully, "How can you come so often? You're still young, you can't come too often."

"Please..."

Seeing Chen You's pleading eyes, Xu Qiuxue sighed, "Well... alright then!"

Then, he reached his hand under the covers!

A moment later...

"I...I want you to stay," Chen You said quickly as he saw Xu Qiuxue about to leave.

"Not yet, your master just left. Can you give me some time?" Xu Qiuxue said apologetically.

"it is good."

Get some rest.

Xu Qiuxue fled as if she were escaping.

I just fulfilled both desires, and my desire level has reached 360!

"Phew... If there are relaxing activities every night, wouldn't that mean I have a guaranteed 100 points of desire every day?"

Chen You couldn't help but think.

The next morning, as dawn broke, a thin mist hung over the village entrance.

As Chen You walked out of the village with his fish basket on his back, he caught a glimpse of two figures peeking furtively from behind some bushes and piles of stones not far away.

He sneered inwardly, but his expression remained impassive.

He knew perfectly well that these two men must be Scarface's spies sent to monitor him.

In the following days, Chen You went out as usual.

Although he occasionally went fishing by the river, he was always careful when casting his line and baiting the area, deliberately returning empty-handed each time. He would catch nothing all day, behaving like an ordinary novice who had run out of luck.

Meanwhile, Baicaotang was having a tough time.

Several of Baicaotang's pharmacies were targeted by thieves, resulting in the loss of a significant amount of medicinal herbs.

Even more bizarrely, some thieves, after being caught on the spot, not only showed no fear but also fiercely resisted, smashing counters and destroying medicinal herbs in the shop, causing chaos and disorder.

On this day, Scarface hurriedly arrived at Fangzheng's residence to report.

"Young Master Fang, the brothers have been keeping a close eye on Chen You lately. But that kid hasn't caught a single fish in days. I think his previous encounter with the spirit fish was just pure luck?"

Scarface hunched over and said with some doubt.

"How is that possible?" Fang Zheng frowned, his face grim. "Do you think Gao Chengyang is a fool? To help that kid catch the spirit fish, Gao Chengyang even gave him his extremely valuable Han Ding fishing rod. If he didn't have real skills, would Gao Chengyang go to such lengths?"

"This..." Scarface was speechless, unsure how to respond for a moment.

"Enough. This kid's actions are sinister; dragging this out might cause trouble." A ruthless glint flashed in Fang Zheng's eyes as he coldly said, "To avoid any unforeseen complications, let's take action tonight and burn his house down!"

"Yes, Young Master Fang, I'll arrange the manpower right away...!"

Before Scarface could finish speaking, a pharmacy manager stumbled in from outside, looking extremely flustered.

"Young Master, something terrible has happened! Our pharmacy on West Street has been vandalized again! The brothers rushed over to stop them, but they got a severe beating!" The manager shouted breathlessly, his voice trembling with tears.

Fang Zheng slammed his hand on the table with a loud "bang," stood up abruptly, and roared, "Who dares to be so bold? Daring to provoke us, even daring to smash up the Fang family's territory?!"

These past few days, several shops have run into trouble, giving him a real headache.

He has already sent people to investigate who those people are.

The manager wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said in a trembling voice, "It's...it's the Black Tiger Gang..."

"How could that be? We usually keep to ourselves and don't interfere with them!"
