Chapter 415: Returns
After Lu Chengwen took Qi Meishao's first blood, he actually had already reached the peak ranks of Shangsimen (Upper Fourth Gate).
But he wasn't happy; he felt dirty.
Became a bad person.
Although there were countless reasons, the hurdle in his heart could never be overcome.
Now it's fine.
Another battle curtain opened. Lu Chengwen fought until exhaustion, Qi Meishao still clung to him, licking his neck, making kitten-like sounds.
Later, Lu Chengwen no longer felt happy; he felt he was undergoing torture.
On the dilapidated wooden bed, Lu Chengwen lay naked, covered by a damp cotton quilt.
Qi Meishao clung to him, completely naked, already asleep.
...
Above the well shaft.
Jiang Xiaohou sat on a tree branch, staring at Ming Disha in the distance.
Ming Disha scratched his head: "Little girl, how many times has it been? With me here, you can't save him."
Jiang Xiaohou smiled: "Who said I want to save him? He's enjoying himself to the point of flying, does he need saving?"
"Then why are you always hanging around here?"
"Like watching the show."
"The Jiang family prides itself on being a prestigious clan, hehe, didn't expect to produce a deviant little girl like you. Haha, this old man likes it!"
Jiang Xiaohou sneered: "Senior Hun Tiangang isn't in the woods. Family sent word, he seems to be running around everywhere for his two disciples."
Ming Disha said: "His disciples are here, he'll definitely come back. I can wait."
"You can wait, but Lu Chengwen is about to collapse."
Ming Disha said: "Collapsing a bit is fine too. Anyway, I left him an outlet for release."
Jiang Xiaohou said: "Lu Chengwen isn't as strong as you think. Senior should know when to stop."
"Wrong!" Ming Disha said: "He's also not as weak as you think."
Jiang Xiaohou clenched her fists: "If this matter gets out, Senior's notorious reputation will likely worsen."
"What business is it of yours what happens within my own sect?"
"Is Qi Meishao also someone from your sect?"
"Didn't you hear what she just called out? She said 'harder'! She said 'I beg you'! She said 'you're a good person'! With this, she's still not someone from my sect?"
Jiang Xiaohou's face grew even darker.
This old thing acted too bizarrely and was completely unreasonable.
Does whatever he wants.
The key is she couldn't beat him either.
"Hmph, Senior feeding medicine to a girl, such despicable means cannot deceive the world."
"Hey hey hey, don't think I don't know about you! You were just listening here for a long time yourself, didn't you enjoy it very much?"
Jiang Xiaohou's face flushed red, glaring: "Nonsense!"
"Nonsense!? Your breathing became chaotic from listening, I just didn't have the heart to scare you. The little things you were doing secretly in the corner, hehe, if word gets out, the old Jiang family will lose face..."
"Shut up! I didn't!"
"Hmm? Didn't what?"
"I... didn't do anything!"
"Haha!" Ming Disha laughed heartily: "If it weren't for giving face to your Jiang family, I would have captured you too, let Lu Chengwen refine you into a cauldron as well. But seriously, if you became a cauldron, hehe, probably a top-grade one."
"Scum!" Jiang Xiaohou gritted her teeth, face red, turned and leaped away.
"Those two have another battle tomorrow, come early! I'll save a spot for you!"
Sensing Jiang Xiaohou had fled far away, Ming Disha chuckled: "Little thing, still dare to argue with this old man? Aiya, youth is good, my Shizhi is so vigorous even without eating; Qi Meishao's progress in familiarizing herself with the business is much faster than I expected; and this Jiang Xiaohou, hmph, written all over from head to toe are two words - 'jealous'! Wahahaha!"
...
Having had intimate relations, and not just once or twice.
Afterward, Lu Chengwen's mood calmed down a lot. Both of them somewhat adopted a 'might as well be hung for a sheep as a lamb' attitude.
Sometimes they'd meet each other's eyes and even smile.
Lu Chengwen continued telling her stories, and Qi Meishao also let Lu Chengwen hold her for warmth.
Qi Meishao didn't even wear outer clothes anymore; useless, put them on... still have to take them off later, quite troublesome.
Lu Chengwen, wearing only shorts, started repairing the table and cleaning up.
At night, Lu Chengwen was already asleep.
He felt something was wrong!
Very, very wrong.
Opened his eyes, found Qi Meishao lying beneath him. Seeing him awake, she lifted her head, slowly leaned closer, face flushed red, charming eyes almost dripping water.
Voice incredibly small, pitiful, evoking compassion: "You, pretend you're asleep, okay?"
Lu Chengwen frowned: "There was no medicine in today's food!"
Qi Meishao bit her lip: "Then... pretend there was, can we?"
Lu Chengwen was stunned for a moment, then smiled: "Is it me who has it or you?"
"What do you think?"
Lu Chengwen grinned: "Both."
Qi Meishao nodded with a red face: "Then... you lie properly, I'll first..."
Lu Chengwen lay down properly, pillowing his head on his arm, looking at the moonlight from the well opening above, a smile appearing.
[It still turned out like this. Knowing this earlier, why struggle?]
[But turning out like this isn't so bad, huh? What's the big deal?]
[Rather than being so passive, like an old ox being whipped by Shishu to push progress, might as well be more proactive, right!]
"Stop for a moment."
Qi Meishao looked up: "What's wrong? Am I not doing it well?"
"No, get me that secret manual, let me see what it's about."
Lu Chengwen also blushed: "I... will study it, so we can escape sooner."
"Oh."
...
A few days later, Lu Chengwen and Qi Meishao were in the jungle, facing Ming Disha.
Qi Meishao lowered her head, cheeks flushed red, playing with the corner of her clothes, not uttering a sound.
Lu Chengwen wanted to get angry, but found he didn't seem to have that much anger anymore.
People really are strange.
A few days ago, he hated Ming Disha, gritting his teeth. Now... the anger had miraculously disappeared.
Lu Chengwen felt it was strange. No matter what, Qi Meishao's goodness, that was hers; it had nothing to do with you, Ming Disha.
These things you did, you just deserved to be cut into a thousand pieces by Laozi (me).
But now, firstly, subconsciously he knew anger was useless; he couldn't beat him.
Secondly... indeed there wasn't that much anger anymore.
His own progress these past few days had been divinely fast.
He had already faintly reached the level of Shangsimen (Upper Fourth Gate) intermediate stage.
And according to that evil technique, Lu Chengwen indeed... coordinated tacitly with Qi Meishao.
Once Qi Meishao was developed, she truly was a rare beauty/stunner.
Always shy, but always very proactive, never refusing, nor being coy, just obediently listening.
Whatever Lu Chengwen said, she obediently did.
Whatever Lu Chengwen taught her, she listened seriously, then asked him if she did it right.
Lu Chengwen sincerely felt that web novel authors really are a bunch of perverts.
The worlds, rules, laws, systems they construct... are completely for making the protagonist feel good/satisfied.
These martial arts, medicinal pills they create, are also shameful to the point of absurdity.
These main female leads created are truly beautiful beyond words.
One by one, sometimes made Lu Chengwen feel they were like mannequins/fake people.
How can real people look so perfect?
Take Qi Meishao for example.
After being developed, Qi Meishao's figure looked even softer, more charming/alluring than before.
And her temper seemed to have changed a lot too, speaking politely to Lu Chengwen, no longer shouting about fighting and killing.
The corners of her eyes and brows looking at him, unbearably shy, yet full of tender feelings;
Shy and reserved, yet passionate like fire;
Cautious, yet bold and daring...
She even knows how to serve people now. Sometimes after finishing, she even gives Lu Chengwen shoulder rubs, leg massages.
Isn't this change too big?!
Made Lu Chengwen think she was enduring humiliation while harboring resentment, planning to kill him at the first chance.
But looking at her, it didn't seem like it.
A broken thatched hut.
Truly broken, as if uninhabited for tens of thousands of years.
Actually, calling it a hut was flattering it; it was simply an abandoned pile of junk. Half of the roof was gone, many pillars leaned crookedly to the side.
Ming Disha found a broken chair and sat there looking self-important/pretentious.
"Chengwen, congratulations on your great success, worthy of joy and congratulation."
Lu Chengwen said impatiently: "Shishu, take this broken technique back."
"Aiya, amazing, memorized it all?"
Lu Chengwen didn't get sidetracked: "What now? Can you return our freedom?"
"Can!" Ming Disha said: "Just missing the last step."
"What else do you want?"
Lu Chengwen blocked in front of Qi Meishao.
Ming Disha sneered: "Little girl, haven't told him yet? When do you plan to tell him?"
Qi Meishao blushed, gently pushed Lu Chengwen aside, slowly walked towards Ming Disha.
Lu Chengwen grabbed her: "What are you doing?"
Qi Meishao looked at Lu Chengwen, smiled, said gently: "It's okay."
Lu Chengwen was懵了 (dumbfounded/confused), these two seem to be hiding something from me!
Qi Meishao swayed as she walked up to Ming Disha, knelt on both knees: "Meishao pays respects to Shishugong (Grand Martial Uncle)." (Note: Shishugong used here as a term of extreme respect/formality towards Ming Disha, acknowledging his elder status)
"Mm, good girl."
Qi Meishao kowtowed three times, straightened up, her voice slightly choked:
"Meishao knows, my secret cannot be hidden from Shishugong. Originally thought everything I had belonged to the Young Master..."
Thinking of her collapsed "faith", Qi Meishao's eyes warmed, teardrops fell.
"Didn't expect it to be like this, perhaps, this is fate."
"Actually I know, the one who saved me the first time was Chengwen-ge. I was fully conscious then, could hear the surrounding conversation."
Lu Chengwen was very surprised.
[She knew!?]
[Then why was she so fierce to me later?]
"Later, sent to do business with Chengwen-ge, actually I pretended to hate him, but couldn't hate him in my heart. The more I couldn't hate, the more I pretended to be ruthless..."
"Actually I was very jealous of Shiyin-jiejie, actually every time I looked for Chengwen-ge, I felt very expectant inside. But I didn't dare admit it, didn't dare face it."
"They say a woman's heart is a needle at the bottom of the sea. Sometimes I don't even know what I'm thinking myself. It seems... in the unseen, I had a premonition, that sooner or later I would belong to Chengwen-ge. But always wanted to resist fate... no, actually I never thought of resisting fate, I was more... just drifting with the current."
Qi Meishao turned her head, looking at Lu Chengwen with tear-filled eyes, and smiled slightly.
Lu Chengwen's heart ached.
Quickly said: "Get up, no need to tell him these things."
"I'm saying it for you to hear, Gege (Big Brother)."
Lu Chengwen was stunned for a moment.
"Shishugong knows my secret." Qi Meishao said: "What was sealed in Shiyin-jie was memory, what was sealed in Xueying was divine sense, and for me, what was sealed was the Blood Contract."
"Blood Contract!?"
Qi Meishao nodded: "Nuwa descendants follow only one husband for life. Once chosen, never changed. The Blood Contract is my... first red (virginity). Given to husband, from then on slave or servant, life or death without regret."
"Uh... meaning..."
"The blood contract is sworn, the cauldron is formed, Chengwen-ge..."
Qi Meishao's hot tears flowed: "I am yours."
