He changed Tiwat

Why should Brother Han be given to the vixen who came later?

And this pink-haired shrine maiden is a real fox spirit!

Xingqiu, who is well-read, had seen it in "Moonlit Night in the Bamboo Forest"—fox spirits are demons who eat people!

Brother Han is now completely bewitched by the vixen, and she has to rescue him from her clutches!

Furthermore, Brother Han's reputation has also been ruined by this vixen. The rumors about him "sneaking into Narukami Shrine and stealing Miyaji's underwear" are definitely just rumors spread by that vixen herself!

Thinking of this, Xingqiu decided not to leave.

She made up her mind; she would stand there and stare at the vixen, to see if the vixen would be embarrassed in front of others—

Shenzi, oblivious to everyone else, wrapped her arms around Han Fulai's neck and took a small bite.

He even deliberately showed Xingqiu the teeth marks.

—How can a vixen have such a thick skin!

Xingqiu's face turned bright red with anger.

Han Fulai was also a little embarrassed when he saw Xingqiu. He didn't expect that his brother... no, his adopted sister would see him being intimate with Shenzi.

It feels like high school students getting caught dating by their parents...

In this respect, his skin is not as thick as Shenzi's.

However, the bite the divine child had just given him brought him back to his senses—he had indeed remembered that he had important business to attend to: "Xingqiu, you've come at the right time, I was just thinking about you..."

"Huh?" This time it was Xingqiu's turn to be stunned.

Brother Han, are you thinking of me while you're holding that vixen?

"Huh?" Not only was Xingqiu stunned, but Shenzi's eyes widened as well.

Were you thinking about other girls while you were hugging me?

Han Fulai nodded as if it were the most natural thing in the world: "That's right, Xingqiu, I need your help with something."

Xingqiu tilted his head: "What is it?"

Han Fulai replied earnestly with four words: "Help me in my cultivation!"

“Cultivation?” Xingqiu was stunned again.

Could the kind of "cultivation" Brother Han is talking about be the kind she's read about in novels... the kind where you practice with a female demon?

“Cultivation?” The divine child’s eyes narrowed.

Could the kind of "spiritual practice" he's talking about be the same kind he did with her last night?

Han Fu looked at Xingqiu and then at Shenzi, and asked in surprise, "I was talking about the 'Spiritual Illumination Method' practice of the Ancient Hua Sect... What are you thinking?"

Chapter 354 You... really only see me as a brother? [4k]

Xingqiu and Shenzi exchanged a glance, then each turned their heads away.

They would never admit that they had misunderstood.

Xingqiu coughed lightly and said seriously, "Brother Han, as the acting sect leader, you should have already thoroughly studied the 'Thorn Brightness Technique' mental manual of our sect. Why have you only now thought of cultivating it?"

She used to "roam the martial arts world and uphold justice" with Han Fulai in Qingce Village, and she knew best about Brother Han's martial arts skills.

The current Han Fulai has long been known in the mouths of Liyue Harbor storytellers as a grandmaster of "dual prowess in spear and sword", fighting alongside the heroine Shen He with spear and sword, and the title of "leader of the Guhua Sect" is well-deserved... But the real "leader of the Guhua Sect", Xingqiu, knows very well what his big brother Han is capable of.

To put it another way, if neither side is allowed to use supernatural powers and they only rely on martial arts techniques to compete, Xingqiu could give him one hand and one foot, and even then, he would still have to consider how not to make Brother Han lose too badly...

In fact, when it comes to the inheritance of martial arts, Xingqiu was quite envious of the resources that Han Fulai possessed—the "Flowing Sky Spear Technique" personally taught by the True Lord Liuyun Jiefeng, and the "Cloud-Coming Sword Technique" passed down by Keqing's family, are both top-level techniques that can lead to the Dao and directly reach the realm of human immortals through martial arts. As long as Brother Han asked, they would definitely teach him everything they knew.

The current Star of Yaoguang is also a close friend of Brother Han—that person was the former head instructor of the Thousand Rocks Army, the inheritor of the "Thousand Rocks Technique," the general martial arts manual of Liyue created by the Martial God Emperor, and the "Broken Army Star" among the Seven Stars. Brother Han and that person are like brothers, so what difficulty would it be for Brother Han to learn the "Thousand Rocks Technique"?

Oh, and there's also Xiangling's master, Granny Ping from the Jade Capital Platform.

Xingqiu remembered once following Xiangling to watch her junior sister Yaoyao practice spear techniques—"Deep red warms the fish, green darkens the crow at night," "Red makeup sees the magistrate, trampling the crimson skirt," "Jujube blossoms fall on clothes and kerchiefs, ancient willows send off Changsha," "The road is long and I only want to sleep, I am thirsty and think of tea"...

Every move and stance exudes the authentic martial arts spirit that Xingqiu has been longing for!

Moreover, Granny Ping's knowledge of spear techniques was vast, and she was able to tailor her teaching to the individual characteristics of each disciple, creating a set of spear techniques suitable for each person.

For example, the "White-Cooked Spear Technique" that Xiangling learned was a spear technique specially created for her by Granny Ping, who noticed Xiangling's love for cooking. Lines like "Layer upon layer of hemp leaves, glistening with the light of mulberry leaves, whose house is boiling cocoons, filling the village with fragrance," and "With white hair and a cane, I raise my drunken eyes, stroking green flour to soften my hungry stomach," even the spear techniques sound delicious…

Although Granny Ping wasn't well-known in Liyue Harbor, Xingqiu believed she was definitely a highly skilled person living in seclusion... perhaps even an immortal! If Xingqiu hadn't already joined the Guhua Sect, he would have immediately become Granny Ping's disciple.

Brother Han has a good relationship with Granny Ping, so it wouldn't be difficult for him to get Granny Ping to teach him some impressive marksmanship techniques.

Oh, and there's also Xiao Shangxian.

Yaksha's spear technique is known for its sharpness. It is said that during the war between the demons, he could fight the demons and not be at a disadvantage. As long as you learn even a move or two, you can walk sideways anywhere.

...But unfortunately, despite having so many experts around him, Brother Han didn't learn anything!

Even more outrageous is that Brother Han also has the title of "successor of the Emperor"!

The successor of the Martial God Rock King Emperor!

With martial arts skills reaching this level, what exactly did you learn from the Emperor? The title of God of War is crying out in despair!

Honestly, when Xingqiu heard Han Fu say he wanted to practice the "Stab Ming Method," he was even a little angry—why didn't you do this sooner?

Actually, it wasn't that Han Fulai was unwilling to learn. Good heavens, he held a ton of jobs and had a mountain of responsibilities; he was either working overtime or on his way to work overtime. The time he spent practicing marksmanship with Shen He was saved from his "post-coital meditation"...

But this reason is indeed not something that can be explained to outsiders.

Therefore, Han Fulai could only clasp his hands together and plead, "I was previously too preoccupied with worldly affairs to properly hone my martial arts. Now that everything in Daozuma has come to an end, I have a few days of free time and would like to ask you to teach me about our sect's techniques..."

Xingqiu raised her eyebrows and glared at him fiercely: "Brother Han, how many days is your 'free time'? How many days are you planning to spend quickly mastering this sect's unique skill? I, a mere nobody, only learned the 'Spike Bright Technique' after three years of training. Brother Han, with your extraordinary talent, do you think three days will be enough?"

Han Fulai's lips stiffened slightly.

It's no wonder Xingqiu mocked him; any martial artist would be angry if he said he could quickly master a martial art in just a few days of vacation.

Like Xingqiu, who was sent to the Guhua Sect at the age of eleven and became a martial arts prodigy by the age of fourteen, he was born to practice martial arts.

If it were someone like Zhiruo, whose talent was slightly inferior, even if she started practicing martial arts at the age of four and studied until the age of twenty-four, she would only have superficial skills...

Moreover, the three great skills of the Guhua School, "Rain-Cutting Method", "Bright-Stabbing Method" and "Generation and Restraint Method", are all profound techniques that are difficult to master. To learn real martial arts from a bunch of fancy moves, you either need to have the comprehension of Xingqiu or spend decades honing your skills. This is why the previous leaders of the Guhua School were all middle-aged or elderly.

Of course, Han Fulai knew what kind of person the founder of the Guhua School was. The Guhua School's dominance in the world with its spear and sword skills was actually due to the "Mystic Eyes of Death Perception".

The origin of the Gu Hua style of martial arts is simply posing. Why learn it? Can't I pose myself?

On the contrary, Xingqiu was able to glean practical combat skills from those "fancy moves," which made him a genius capable of establishing his own school.

Moreover, Xingqiu's martial arts skills went from beginner to master in just three years. He was also able to summarize the mental techniques and formulas to teach all his disciples, making the Guhua Sect, which was almost extinct, "great again." He is both a good learner and a good teacher, and he is definitely the best teacher.

Therefore, to learn the ancient Hua school of martial arts, one must learn from Xing Qiu.

As for why he suddenly wanted to learn martial arts from Xingqiu, and specifically requested to learn the "Chiming Technique," there were certainly reasons—

Han Fulai bowed his head sincerely and said, "I know my request is unreasonable, but I really don't have much time. In a few days, I may have a duel with General Lei Dian..."

Xingqiu was startled: "Wait, Brother Han, who did you say?"

Han Fulai repeated: "To fight General Thunder and Lightning."

"Huh?" Xingqiu's mouth gaped open.

You need to spend a few days quickly mastering the "Thornming Technique" and then challenge General Thunder and Lightning to a duel?

Is there something wrong with my ears, or is there something wrong with your head, Brother Han?

and also……

She then looked at the pink-haired fox spirit still clinging to Brother Han.

The pink-haired fox spirit smiled brightly, her eyes and brows brimming with tenderness and affection.

Xingqiu was so clever that he could easily see the reason why Han Fu had come to challenge General Leidian to a duel.

Is Brother Han perhaps holding a "martial arts contest" to find a spouse instead of a "martial arts contest"?

Although Xingqiu didn't know what had happened in Yingxiang Mountain, there were plenty of similar plots in the novels she had read—it must have been that Brother Han told General Leidian that he wanted to marry the fox from the rice field, but the general from the rice field refused to let him go, so he decided to use a "martial arts contest to decide who would marry him."

If Brother Han wins, she'll probably have to call that pink-haired fox "sister-in-law".

Oh, you want me to teach you martial arts so you can fight General Thunder and Lightning, all so you can marry a fox spirit?

Let's not even talk about whether our sect's "Stab the Bright" technique can defeat General Thunder... Even if you learn the "Stab the Bright" technique and can really defeat General Thunder, why should I help you chase after the fox spirit?

Xingqiu immediately responded with the "Three Bian Que's Remarks": "No way, I can't do it, farewell."

After saying that, she turned and left.

The divine child was filled with joy at that moment.

He became a god for her, practiced martial arts he was not good at for her, and challenged the Thunder General... How could she not be happy?

This sentiment alone was enough to melt away all the tenderness in her heart.

Lei's film didn't actually mention a "martial arts contest to find a husband," it only said that Han Fulai had to at least reach the rank of a demon god before "it's worth talking."

Aying's condition was, of course, just a way to make things difficult. Ying could never have guessed that he really had a way to ascend to godhood in just a few days and obtain the qualification of having "the servants of the demon god".

If he truly becomes a god and returns to Ying, proposing marriage to her again, how will Ying react?

—Of course, we need to fight her and defeat her to have the right to take her family away.

If the Divine Child dared to use his four tails as a wager, Aying would definitely react the same way.

Ying is such an awkward person. Things that could be resolved with a good talk will inevitably get stuck in a rut because she's unwilling to admit defeat...

This is how it was when Kage played karuta with Shin-chan and Sai-miya-sensei. She clearly loved sweets, but she would pretend to be a martial artist and refuse to admit it. She was clearly not good at karuta, but she still really wanted the sweets that were the prize for winning the karuta game.

So Ying silently practiced karuta on her own, and then lost repeatedly, but kept trying until everyone couldn't stand it anymore and let her win.

The shrine maiden, who was watching from the sidelines, knew best how hard Sasa Yuri and Mikoto Chiyo had worked to throw the game—not only did they have to let the Kage win, but they also had to make it seem natural. If she could tell that they were throwing the game, she would be angry...

In order to let Kage eat the pastries, Sasa Yuri and Mikoto Chiyo practiced holding back for a long time, and Shinko was their sparring partner.

If Ying had simply told everyone she really wanted some pastries, would they have refused to let her have them? It's all about saving Ying's face...

Even the "Eye Hunt Order" matter is the same. It would have been better to just say it openly and honestly. As the only family member and friend of the Shadow, would the Divine Child not stand on the Shadow's side?

It's all because Ying refused to speak, hiding in the "Pure Land of One Heart" and "facing the wall" for hundreds of years, that things have become so complicated.

Therefore, Ying would definitely make a "martial arts contest" demand of Han Fu, leaving him and her with no way out. Alas.

With Han Fulai's keen insight into human nature, he had foreseen this outcome long ago, and so, as soon as he "ascended to godhood," he immediately began to "sharpen his spear at the last minute."

In fact, the goddess felt it was unnecessary. She could have simply run back and begged Ayane to give in—Ayane was just stubborn, but her heart was always soft. The goddess believed that if she begged him a few more times, Ayane would eventually give in.

But Han Fulai chose to accept the "martial arts contest" precisely so that she wouldn't have to beg for help.

He wanted to tell her, and Ying, that their relationship was aboveboard.

His love for her was unconditional and did not depend on anyone else's opinion.

With such a good husband, what more could one ask for?

but……

The goddess blinked and looked at the girl in blue who had her back to her.

The "gunmanship instructor" you hired doesn't seem to just want to be a "teacher," does he?

When Han Fulai saw that Xingqiu refused, he didn't think much in his haste and grabbed her hand: "Xingqiu, I really need you. Only you can help me with this. Your brother Han has never asked you for anything before, but please help me with this."

Why did you ask me for anything else, but for another woman?

You... really only see me as a brother?

Xingqiu had his back to Han Fulai, and his eyes reddened slightly.

She struggled fiercely, but couldn't break free from his grasp.

Xingqiu stomped her foot and glared at him again, only to meet Han Fulai's gaze.

She saw again the pair of eyes that had left a deep impression on her when they first met.

The reason she accepted this "elder brother" was because she was captivated by his gaze.

He is earnest, sincere, and full of unwavering determination, without a trace of impurity, making people feel that they can entrust their hearts and backs to him.

Xingqiu's heart finally softened.

She sighed and said, "Brother Han, it's not that I'm unwilling to help you, but you also know that martial arts rely on accumulation over time, and cannot be achieved overnight. Moreover, our sect's 'Thorning Technique' may not be able to defeat General Thunder, at least I don't have that confidence. Even if you really learn it, I'm afraid it will be of no use."

What she said made perfect sense, but Han Fulai shook his head: "No, it's not useful."
