Chapter 192
âOh?â Yang Chen raised his eyebrows, intrigued. It seemed that Burial Sword Mountain was indeed an extraordinary place. He was becoming more and more interested.
âJunior Sister Chu Xi, I donât know much about Burial Sword Mountain. How about we go inside, have some tea, and talk?â Yang Chen extended an invitation.
Chu Xiâs cheeks reddened slightly.
Going into his room ⊠would he �
But she nodded nonetheless. After all, they were Dao companions now.
Inside the wooden cabin. Chu Xi proceeded to give Yang Chen a detailed introduction to Burial Sword Mountain.
âSenior Brother Yang, with your talent, Iâm certain youâll obtain a remarkable sword if you enter! I reviewed records spanning a thousand years, and for some unknown reason, the probability of exceptional ancient swords appearing in Burial Sword Mountain has greatly increased in the past millennium! Itâs likely due to the abundance of exceptional talents emerging in this era!â
Yang Chen nodded thoughtfully.
At this moment, Chu Xi glanced around the room and couldnât help but comment: âSenior Brother Yang, your room has gotten a bit messy. Let me tidy up for you!â
As she spoke, Chu Xi began to clean up the room.
Yang Chen had been in seclusion for half a month, and the fluctuations of his true energy and blood had caused some of the furniture to scatter across the room. A few vases had also been broken. He hadnât had time to clean up yet.
Watching Chu Xi bend down, her purple gown clinging to her body, accentuating her graceful curves. Her back was smooth, her waist slender, and below was a rounded fullness like a full moon. Yang Chen felt a surge of heat in his blood. Unable to resist, he stood up and hugged Chu Xi from behind.
âAh! Senior Brother Yang!â Chu Xi trembled all over. Turning around.
Meanwhile, a young man dressed in black was hurrying towards Chu Xiâs courtyard.
âDamn it! My sister promised me she wouldnât see that scoundrel Yang Chen again! Where did she go now? I shouldnât be overthinking this, should I?â Xiao Dongâs forehead bulged with veins; his face twisted in anger. Heâd only been resting for a moment, and when he woke up, he found his sister missing.
Arriving at Chu Xiâs courtyard, Xiao Dong pushed open the door without hesitation. But upon opening it, he didnât see Chu Xi.
âDammit!â Xiao Dong growled, his gaze drifting towards Yang Chenâs nearby residence.
Then, he stormed over, fuming.
***
Xiao Dong stood in front of Yang Chenâs courtyard; his face dark as he stared at the tightly closed door of the wooden cabin. His sister had promised him she wouldnât see Yang Chen anymore.
But ⊠where could she be now? All he could hope for was that she wasnât with that scoundrel, Yang Chen. As long as she wasnât with him, he didnât care where else she might be.
Xiao Dong quietly stepped into Yang Chenâs courtyard. As he reached the cabin door, a muffled, distressed sound came from inside.
âMmm ⊠Mmm!â
The sound was hurried and suppressed, as if someoneâs mouth had been covered, struggling to breathe.
âThat bastard Yang Chenâwhat is he doing?â Xiao Dong raised his foot, about to kick the door open to see for himself.
Suddenly, the door flew open. The one standing there was his sister. Xiao Dong froze on the spot. So, she really was here with Yang Chen!
Unbelievable! She went to see Yang Chen again!
âXiao Dong!?â Chu Xiâs face turned pale upon seeing her brother.
A thought flashed through her mind:
Did Xiao Dong hear the sounds just now?
Thankfully, she had managed to push Yang Chen away just in time. Otherwise, Xiao Dong wouldâve witnessed everything, and she wouldnât have been able to show her face as his sister.
âSister, why are you here with Yang Chen? Didnât you promise me you wouldnât see him anymore?â Xiao Dong demanded angrily.
As he recalled the muffled sounds from moments before, a bad feeling spread in his heart. He scrutinized Chu Xi from head to toe.
Her gown was a bit wrinkled. Her hair, slightly disheveled. And most notablyâher lips. The lipstick on her lips was smudged. It was unmistakable. Sheâd just been kissed.
Damn it!
Xiao Dongâs eyes instantly twisted with rage. His sister had been in that room with Yang Chen, kissing him!? No wonder ⊠no wonder heâd heard those muffled sounds.
Damn it all!
Jealousy boiled over in Xiao Dongâs heart. His forehead veins bulged, his face contorted in fury. His sisterâs first kiss had been stolen by that scoundrel Yang Chen. His sister, who belonged only to him, had lost her first kiss just like that?
[Ding! The Host has claimed Chu Xiâs first kiss, an event discovered by Xiao Dong, severely impacting his mental state. As a result, the Host has plundered 2,000 points of Providence Luck from Xiao Dong, the Son of Destiny, and earned 2,000 VPs!]
Yang Chenâs lips curled into a smirk.
2000 VPs. Not bad at all.
In fact, heâd noticed Xiao Dong approaching earlier.
Knowing the timing was off, he had taken advantage of Chu Xiâs hesitant resistance to let her go, otherwise, how could she have escaped his grasp?
âXiao Dong, please listen to me!â Outside, Chu Xi pleaded helplessly. âXiao Dong, I only promised not to see Senior Brother Yang because you were injured, and I couldnât bear seeing you bleed every day. But Senior Brother Yang and I have already become Dao companions under the witness and blessing of our master. Moreover, Senior Brother Yang and I are genuinely in love! Xiao Dong, youââ
âShut up, you hussy!â Xiao Dong interrupted, furious.
Chu Xi froze, feeling bitterness rise in her heart. Her own brother had called her a hussy.
Over the years, with Xiao Dongâs essence shattered and his ability to cultivate lost, she had endured countless hardships for his sake. She had pleaded with her master to allow him to stay on You Yue Peak.
For a single Essence Consolidation Pill, she had even knelt before her masterâs door for three days and nights. And now, he had called her a hussy.
Chu Xiâs eyes stung, and two tears slid down her cheeks.
âSister!â Seeing her tears, Xiao Dongâs mind cleared. He felt a pang of regret. He had been too impulsive just now. How could he insult his sister like that?
His sister had sacrificed so much for him, and now he had hurt her deeply. Just as he was about to apologize, Yang Chen, who had been watching the scene from inside, came out.
âJunior Brother Xiao Dong, that was too much! Junior Sister Chu Xi has done so much for you, and yet you insult her like this! As her brother, youâre acting so disrespectfully. Do you have any idea how much your sister has sacrificed for you? If anyone else dared to insult Junior Sister Chu Xi like that, I wouldâve cut them down without hesitation! But since youâre her brother, Iâll let it slide this time.â Yang Chenâs face was full of righteous indignation.
Seeing him, Chu Xi felt her nose tingle and couldnât hold back the sorrow in her heart. She threw herself into Yang Chenâs arms, sobbing.
âSenior Brother Yang!â Her voice choked with emotion. Tears streamed from her beautiful eyes, soaking Yang Chenâs shoulder.
âItâs okay, Junior Sister Chu Xi. Donât be too upset.â Yang Chen gently stroked her back, soothing her.
This scene, however, reignited Xiao Dongâs fury, which had only just subsided.
âYang Chen, damn you! Let go of my sister!â Xiao Dong cursed, his voice hoarse and hysterical.
If he had the strength, he wouldâve attacked Yang Chen on the spot, cutting him into pieces.
However, Chu Xi, who had been leaning into Yang Chenâs embrace, suddenly pulled away. Her face flushed with anger as she walked up to Xiao Dong.
Slap!
The sound was crisp.
Chu Xi slapped Xiao Dong across the face.
âXiao Dong, that was too much! I can tolerate you insulting me, but how dare you speak that way to Senior Brother Yang? Do you know that Senior Brother Yang saved your life?â Chu Xiâs voice was filled with fury.
âSister, you ⊠you slapped me?â
