Who is spreading rumors that my filial piety towards them has changed?

That would mean the maternal line is closer, so they should be fucked even more... Well, he has no right to say that.

"Does not speaking mean you agree?" the older sister retorted forcefully.

"No, they are definitely all relatives, which is why it's hard to respond. Why don't you let go first? Your soul is more comfortable inside your physical body."

Xiao Yunhan did not try to stop him. She released her brother's soul and let it return to its body. Then she added her own considerations:

"I have my own reasons for helping you heal, Mingkong. I'm trying to find a way to connect with the feeling of the divine soul realm. The current stagnation makes me feel like I'm wasting time."

Chu Mingkong remained silent. Although Xiao Yunhan's tone seemed more relaxed at the moment, her inner will remained unchanged.

If things really come to that point in the future, maybe we won't have to worry about explaining the pheasant baby anymore?

"Then in the next few days, let's try out all sorts of things with Yunhan, like hands, feet, mouth, armpits, and buttocks. Think it over carefully, and if you feel it's okay, then we can make a decision, shall we?"

Xiao Yunhan felt it was a bit unnecessary, no, it was a lot of unnecessary, but at least she had managed to reach an agreement with her stubborn little brother.

"Okay... but what is an armpit?"

Chapter 159 Your dad has two pig trotters

The "try it out" I just mentioned is more of a cooling-off period; maybe the woman will regret it later?

In the past, when Chu Mingkong went to the yamen to watch plays, when faced with cases of domestic violence between husband and wife and going to court, the judges sitting under the plaque with the four characters "Iron-faced and Impartial" would often tell the two to go back and calm down for a few more months, and let the victim of domestic violence endure a few more months of beatings.

Of course, in Chu Mingkong's case, it's more likely that Yun Han was abusing him.

Returning to the topic of treatment, Chu Mingkong didn't think his older sister would regret it in the future. Her calm and indifferent personality wasn't something she developed after following Shen Xuejun in cultivation; she'd always been like that since childhood.

When Yunhan decides to do something, she has already considered all the possibilities. For her, "trying" is equivalent to making a firm decision to do it.

This cooling-off period is more like a time for Chu Mingkong to adapt.

"Speak up, what did you mean by 'armpit' just now?" Xiao Yunhan reprimanded him lightly.

Chu Mingkong snapped out of his daze and his gaze fell on his sister's dress, or more precisely, on the area under her armpits.

Xiao Yunhan wore a white dress with long sleeves. When she sat still, her fair wrists could be barely seen, but her arms were completely hidden. The cold woman noticed his gaze, and a chill quietly gathered where Chu Mingkong's gaze fell.

The fabric around her shoulders suddenly became semi-transparent, like a sexy see-through outfit, partially obscuring her figure. Underneath the fabric was a pair of icy, beautiful skin and bones, exuding an extraordinary allure.

Xiao Yunhan raised one arm, revealing her smooth, white armpit to Chu Mingkong. The skin under her armpit was softer and warmer than that of other parts of her body, and her nearby breast was faintly visible, making her even more alluring.

"Mingkong, do you like it here? It seems a bit bigger...?"

Before the woman received a response from her brother, she had already gleaned a lot from his honest reaction. She also realized that asking about his health was more direct and efficient than trying to get the information out of his awkward mouth.

"I can't say I like it here, I can only say it's normal to appreciate beauty. I don't like everyone I see." Chu Mingkong deliberately emphasized his integrity and principles, at least he still had the air of authority in his words.

Xiao Yunhan suddenly remembered something. A long time ago, when she secretly came out of seclusion to "arrest" him, Xiao Yunhan still had a head of snow-white hair. Because her cultivation progress was too fast, she was a little weak. At that time, he seemed to have a reaction to her hair.

Thinking of this matter, Xiao Yunhan changed her restored black hair back to a clear silver-white color.

She immediately felt the handle in her hand tremble more noticeably and swell even more.

"...It's gotten bigger again. It seems like you react quite strongly to any part of it, Mingkong. Can you tell me a spot where the reaction is less intense?"

"It seems not." He racked his brains but couldn't come up with an answer.

Xiao Yunhan sighed, and an icy blue aura condensed at the tips of her delicate nails. Then, she tore a slit in her clothes at the armpit, as if tearing a hole in black stockings, revealing her alluring, fair, and cool skin, which seemed to be intertwined with warm, moist breath.

Suddenly, she saw Chu Mingkong stand up and walk in front of her, his proud and angry head swaying slightly in front of her, his visual aura was much stronger than when she had just captured him.

Xiao Yunhan sniffed and smelled Chu Mingkong's scent, the scent of a man and his younger brother.

After Chu Mingkong arranged the positions, Xiao Yunhan naturally lowered her arm, which had been raised for a while.

Her eyebrows trembled slightly. She couldn't quite describe the discomfort; it was a feeling that was both ordinary and peculiar. It was as ordinary as having a long spear tucked under your arm or under your armpit, and someone constantly pulling the spear back and forth.

Such inexplicable and bizarre behavior gradually stirred a strange feeling within her.

"Why do you like this kind of thing? Don't you think it's stupid? You tried this with Zuo Qiuchi too?"

Xiao Yunhan's words hurt Chu Mingkong, but thinking about the tricks and stunts that would follow, and the fact that he would likely face the same disdain from his sister, he could only prepare himself in advance. After all, he had been verbally attacked by Yongzhen and Rong'er before, so he was already on guard.

"No, I've tried it with Feng Ying, but I've smelled it thoroughly from my master's place."

After some hesitation, Chu Mingkong suddenly slid into the opening Yun Han had made, as if he were rushing into the depths of the secret realm in one go.

That chubby-looking thing waved to Yunhan's side breast; if only it had been a friendly and polite greeting.

When Xiao Yunhan suddenly felt a dampness seeping into her clothes, she coldly raised her eyes, her icy gaze almost devouring the offender.

"Have you had your fill of tricks? Anything else you want to try? Hurry up, I'll treat you as soon as it's over."

Xiao Yunhan raised her arm, glanced at the tear in her clothes, and spread her soft armpit with her two slender white fingers, looking at it with disdain.

That look in his eyes, while hurting Chu Mingkong, also filled him with an unreasonable excitement...

However, it had to be suspended afterward.

—Zuo Qiuchi arrived with two little girls.

Noticing the babies' babbling sounds, Xiao Yunhan cleaned herself up in the same way Shen Xuejun did.

She wanted to change her clothes, but found that her own clothes were not there. When she first arrived, she saw that the little girls were dressed lightly, so she simply took her spare dress and used it as a cloak for them.

Since there were no spare clothes to change into, in order to make it look symmetrical, Xiao Yunhan also cut a slit in the clothes under the armpit on the other side, and then quickly repaired the loose threads. It could barely be regarded as an "ingenious" design.

The tidying up took only a moment, and Zuo Qiuchi had already led the little ones into the room.

The two little girls were still wrapped in their clothes.

Zuo Qiuchi picked up the little girl and put her on the bed, then sat down and complained wearily:

"Good heavens, Yunhan, you just got back and didn't say a word, then chased Maomao and Jiao'er away to chat with Mingkong about some nonsense. Even if you really wanted to get rid of them to talk about serious matters, there are plenty of stepmothers and concubines in any courtyard in the mansion. You could at least have sent them to their places!"

"What are you trying to say?" Xiao Yunhan asked back. After all, they had known each other for many years. How could she not know that Zuo Qiuchi had been rambling on for so long without getting to the point?

"Cat brought Jiao'er to me while I was still lying down, and she started begging me to practice my sword for her. Do you know how tiring that is? There are so many people in the manor waiting to play with the young ladies. You can just walk around the courtyard and you'll find almost every one of your brother's women. Can't you be a little more responsible?"

It seems this is the real purpose. After saying so much, it wasn't because he disliked the young girl, but simply because Zuo Qiuchi didn't want to move.

If a cultivator truly dislikes or hates someone, there are many ways to shut them out. Setting up a barrier on the spot would be easy, but that would definitely upset the girl.

When Zuo Qiuchi saw that the little princesses were still wrapped in Xiao Yunhan's clothes, he knew that she had returned without anyone noticing.

Only then did they lead the "lost" children back to find their parents, and also to check on Xiao Yunhan's condition.

"Isn't this great? It'll give you more exercise," Xiao Yunhan said casually, taking the girls' clothes away and holding them in her arms.

"Can't you see it's still winter in Xiling? I'm hibernating here. Speaking of which, you've been practicing swordsmanship since you were little, aren't you a sword immortal? Kitty, you can ask your aunt to let you practice swordsmanship for fun in the future."

This little one enjoys watching those "stunts" involving swords and spears, especially those with profound skill levels performing sword dances, which shows he has considerable talent.

If it's just for fun, there are many skilled sword dancers in Xiling, but unfortunately, Maomao doesn't like watching others. She prefers to find Zuo Qiuchi in the manor, which gives this lazy person a real headache.

"Auntie?" The cat looked up, its dark, bright eyes staring at Xiao Yunhan in confusion.

Isn't she the older sister? What is an aunt?

The little girl reacted too; it was a reduplicated word, simple to say: "Gurgle..."

"Just call them 'sister' like your father does." Xiao Yunhan rubbed her cheeks against the little girls' faces; they were smooth and delicate.

"Sister, you're practicing your swordplay." The cat hadn't forgotten the important matter.

Zuo Qiuchi was overjoyed to see that the cat's attention had shifted to Xiao Yunhan.

"Go find your father later so you can play with him. Don't let him always lie in the yard drying salted fish and drag you along to dry them too." Xiao Yunhan threw the pot back to Chu Mingkong without hesitation.

If Xiao Yunhan didn't know that Chu Mingkong's soul pain had disappeared, she would never have said that. She would have preferred him to lie down more to avoid the discomfort of moving around.

Now that things are much better and I'm in the mood to play mahjong, it's definitely no problem for my daughters to have some fun.

“That’s right!” Zuo Qiuchi agreed wholeheartedly, as long as it wasn’t him.

When Chu Mingkong saw his daughter turn her big eyes to him, he quickly took out the bitter pill he hadn't finished earlier, and the cat immediately fell silent.

Because the bitterness was so profound, just recalling it in one's memory is enough to make one feel uncomfortable for a long time.

This little episode didn't last long, and the topic returned to the adults.

Zuo Qiuchi was curious about what Xiao Yunhan had come back to do. Xiao Yunhan naturally said that she was worried about Chu Mingkong's situation. After handling her sect duties and dealing with the rampant activities of the Yin Shi people, she returned immediately.

Xiao Yunhan suddenly remembered the lame joke Chu Mingkong had told his daughters earlier, and after summarizing its gist, she asked Zuo Qiuchi:

"The cat thinks the shrimp will be separated from their families and will be sad. Qiuchi, how do you comfort them?"

Zuo Qiuchi's mind didn't really work; without thinking, he replied:

"What's so great about shrimp? I would never take my cat out to eat that. If we're going to eat anything, it would be braised pig's trotters... But to comfort them, I would say: They won't be separated. The shrimp's whole family is here. If the cat eats all the shrimp, they won't be sad anymore."

"..." Xiao Yunhan was speechless for a moment, then asked Chu Mingkong, "Did you tell this lame joke to Qiu Chi before?"

"No, it's purely a coincidence." Chu Mingkong shrugged.

Xiao Yunhan was even more at a loss for words. These two, master and disciple, were indeed birds of a feather, able to think of the same thing.

"Braised pig's trotters..." The cat's cheeks twitched; it was already getting a little hungry.

"Your dad's hands are like big pig's trotters, let him give you a bite." Zuo Qiuchi looked at the little glutton with amusement.

They were having a pleasant conversation when a maidservant brought a message: "A messenger from the Buddhist sect has sent word that the Asura King will be visiting Xiling soon."

Chapter 160 Is this a place to settle accounts?

The term "Buddhism" has never had a positive connotation for Chu Mingkong. Apart from the time when the Asura King generously allowed him to try his punch at the East Sea Dragon Palace, all other impressions of Buddhism in Chu Mingkong's mind are mostly negative.

This shouldn't be considered prejudice; just think of those like Shekyi, and their impression of Buddhism becomes even worse.

It was under this impression that the Asura King prepared to come to his lair; this news was currently considered absolutely true.

More worries than joys.

Upon hearing the message from the maid, Chu Mingkong rushed out to see the messenger himself, not even having time to put down the cat he had just cuddled.

Outside Tianya City, Chu Mingkong met the messenger the maid had mentioned. It was an old face—Xin Ci, whom he had met once before in the Crescent Moon Kingdom.

At that time, Master Xinci received an order from the Asura King to suddenly search for the Asura Divine Weapon around the Yueqi territory. Chu Mingkong tricked her with the Extinction Domain.
