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

Seeing Shen Yun's desires, Chen You felt a surge of joy.

This is truly an unexpected delight.

Because the first and third desires are both easy to fulfill!

A moment later, Shen Yun came over with a basket of dumplings.

Xu Qiuxue smiled and went to the kitchen to get busy.

In the courtyard, Shen Yun quietly watched Xu Yue practice martial arts meticulously, her eyes filled with tenderness and nostalgia.

Seeing this, Chen You leaned closer and whispered, "Miss Shen, I just glanced at the book 'Little Li Flying Dagger Technique' you sent, and it's truly exquisite. My younger sister is also about to formally learn martial arts, and I'm going out tomorrow. I wonder if Miss Shen could look after her for a few days? And... could you please teach her this technique?"

Shen Yun was slightly surprised.

Actually, she had this thought in her mind when she saw Xu Yue, but she felt embarrassed to take the initiative to speak since they had only just met.

"Where are you going?" Shen Yun asked curiously.

Chen You replied, "I am a disciple of the Yanyang Martial Arts School. A few days ago, the school held a meeting for temporary appointments, and I am currently working for the Luo family. I will be leaving for Sanhe Bay early tomorrow morning, and I estimate it will be more than ten days before I have time to return."

"I see..."

Shen Yun hesitated for a moment, then said somewhat tentatively, "Teaching her is no problem at all, but..."

She seemed somewhat reluctant to speak.

Now she is all alone, struggling financially, and living a very difficult life.

But it's really embarrassing to say this directly.

Before she could finish speaking, Chen You understood and offered, "As long as Miss Shen is willing to teach, I will naturally pay the tuition." With that, he took out ten taels of silver from his pocket and handed it over.

"This is unacceptable!" Shen Yun quickly declined, pushing the money back. "You helped me avenge my sister, so it's only right that I teach her a lesson. How can I accept your money?"

Chen You, however, remained resolute, forcefully stuffing the silver into her hand and saying sternly, "Miss Shen, let's keep things separate. Your revenge is a deal we agreed upon beforehand. But teaching Yueyue is a new task, and I'll be gone for more than ten days. Yueyue will need your care at home. Martial arts training is inherently taxing; if you can't even take care of yourself, how can you wholeheartedly teach her? Accepting this silver will give me peace of mind while I'm away."

After hearing Chen You's reasonable words, Shen Yun couldn't refuse. She blushed and hesitated for a moment, but finally accepted the silver: "Then... alright, Young Master Chen, rest assured, I will teach you everything I know and will not hold back."

"I trust Miss Shen's character." After a pause, Chen You suggested, "Yueyue, since Sister Shen is willing to teach you, why don't you just recognize her as your sworn sister? You'll be best friends from now on."

Xu Yue, being obedient and sensible, immediately nodded and said, "Sister Shen, you are so beautiful."

Shen Yun's eyes reddened with excitement as she took Yueyue's hand and said, "Okay, from now on you'll be my little sister."

As soon as she finished speaking, Chen You noticed that all three desires of Shen Yun had been fulfilled.

These tasks are: recognizing Xu Yue as his sworn sister, finding work, and earning ten taels of silver.

The job I found wasn't outside, but rather to have Shen Yun teach martial arts. That was still a job, and I was paid, so it was considered a transaction.

Therefore, it can also be considered a desire.

In one go, I gained 170 desire points.

"Come on, Yueyue, I'll teach you the power generation techniques for throwing knives now."

Shen Yun was a straightforward person; once she accepted the money, she immediately got to work.

She untied an exquisite leather pouch from her waist and drew a throwing knife from it.

The knife is about four inches long, shaped like a willow leaf, with an extremely thin blade that gleams with a chilling light. The handle is wrapped with fine black silk thread to facilitate the application of force and maintain balance with the fingers.

While Shen Yun was explaining the techniques for generating power to Xu Yue, Chen You quietly watched and listened from the side.

With his exceptional comprehension, a sudden realization dawned on him, and the cultivation method of "Little Li Flying Dagger Technique" was quietly recorded into the Desire Prayer Beads.

A moment later, Xu Qiuxue came out of the kitchen, wiping her hands and smiling, "The food is ready, everyone come and wash your hands and eat."

On the table was a sumptuous feast of five dishes and a soup: a plate of braised pork belly with a rich, savory sauce, a plate of crisp and refreshing stir-fried seasonal vegetables, a plate of pan-fried tofu, a plate of stir-fried pork liver, and a bowl of steaming pork rib and radish soup.

In addition, Shen Yun also brought a plate of homemade dumplings when she came today.

Xu Qiuxue steamed it and served it on the table, thoughtfully placing a small dish of aged vinegar next to it.

Pick up a dumpling, dip it lightly in the vinegar dish, and put it in your mouth. The sour, salty, and savory flavors instantly burst on your tongue. It's incredibly delicious.

As the group sat down, the atmosphere gradually warmed up.

During the meal, Shen Yun looked at the warm and loving family and was touched. She also talked about her past.

"Actually, I'm not a local." Shen Yun sighed softly. "Three years ago, we offended some powerful enemies back in our hometown. With nowhere else to turn, I had no choice but to flee here with my sister. We hoped to settle down here and live a peaceful life, but unexpectedly..."

As she spoke, her eyes reddened again.

Seeing her sad expression, Xu Qiuxue took her hand and said gently, "Shen Yun, let bygones be bygones. From now on, treat this place as your home. We are your family."

Looking at the sincere concern in Xu Qiuxue's eyes, Shen Yun's long-wandering heart finally felt the long-lost warmth.

She sniffed, and with a slightly choked voice, she said, "Yes! Sister Xue, from now on you're my older sister."

Seeing this, Chen You, sitting to the side, smiled slightly, feeling very gratified.

He's leaving for Sanhewan tomorrow, and his biggest worry is the safety of his home.

Now that Shen Yun is on good terms with Qiu Xue and Yue Yue, and with this skilled martial artist constantly guarding and protecting them, the family is undoubtedly much safer.

As night fell, Xu Yue took the Blood Strengthening Pill and began cultivating in the room.

Chen You's feet were soaking in a foot bath, and Xu Qiuxue sat beside him, washing his feet.

"Chen You, it seems that Yueyue knows about us." Xu Qiuxue said, somewhat embarrassed.

"Really? What did she say?"

"What else could she say? That girl Yueyue really likes you, she's liked you for a long time... she's liked you for a long time..."

"I told you to come with me a long time ago, didn't I?"

Chen You said with a smile.

Xu Qiuxue blushed deeply, "Look how pleased you are with yourself."

"What's wrong? You don't like it?"

As he spoke, Chen You pulled her up.

"Oh dear, you're so annoying! I haven't finished washing your feet yet. If you keep doing this, I'm never washing your feet again." Xu Qiuxue pretended to struggle, but she couldn't break free.

"I didn't need you to wash my feet in the first place. Your hands are so delicate, what if you ruin them?"

"I'm your woman now, this is what a wife should do."

Xu Qiuxue said earnestly.

Seeing how sensible she was, Chen You gave her a big kiss.

"Hate!"

Although Xu Qiuxue said that, she felt exceptionally sweet inside.

[Desire: I'll give you a big steamed bun. (Completion rewards 50 Desire Points.)]

Chen You didn't stand on ceremony and picked up the steamed bun to eat.

"Sister, Brother Chen, are you inside?"

Just then, Xu Yue's voice came from outside.

Then, she pushed the door, and it looked like it was about to open.
