Chu Feng was completely dumbfounded. Running into the Holy Maiden here was one thing, but why was Senior here too?!
Had the two of them returned home together to visit family?
“Father! This vile woman bullied your daughter. You have to stand up for me!”
Before Chu Feng could speak, Liu Jing spotted Liu Tiancheng and immediately started complaining. As the pampered young lady of the Liu family, when had she ever suffered such humiliation?
A flicker of anger passed through Liu Tiancheng’s heart, but considering Liu Xueyao’s status, he suppressed it and said slowly, “Xueyao, in terms of blood relation, you and Liu Jing are sisters. There’s no need to make such a big deal out of this.”
Liu Xueyao didn’t respond. Her eyes were filled with a chilling coldness that made Liu Tiancheng’s scalp tingle. He, a seventh-rank cultivator, actually felt fear toward a sixth-rank!
“Rather than that, Brother should first ask what caused the conflict.”
Liu Shijing stepped forward, her aura locking onto Liu Tiancheng as if warning him that if he dared to harm her niece, she wouldn’t hesitate to turn against him.
Liu Tiancheng’s expression shifted. He knew very well that he was no match for Liu Shijing.
“Jing’er, what exactly happened?”
“Father, on my way back, I picked him up when he was badly injured. I asked him to repay my life-saving grace by becoming my little husband, but that wretch… that woman came up and attacked me.”
Liu Jing cried out.
“Miss Liu speaks the truth. I am deeply grateful for her saving my life. However, as for this way of repaying the favor… I’m afraid I cannot accept it.”
Chu Feng glanced at Liu Jing’s massive build, his eyelids twitching. This kind of “blessing” was truly more than he could handle.
“Fine! Then compensate me for damaging the Liu family’s Primordial Chaos Bell!”
“Jing’er, are you saying he broke the Primordial Chaos Bell!?”
“That’s right! He fell from the sky and smashed the Primordial Chaos Bell I was escorting.”
The moment Liu Jing said this, both Liu Tiancheng and Liu Shijing immediately understood why Chu Feng was so severely injured.
Even a fifth-rank cultivator would be hurt from smashing into the Primordial Chaos Bell, let alone a mere third-rank cultivator. The fact that he wasn’t dead was already a miracle.
“I’ll pay for it.” Liu Shijing flicked her finger, and a jade slip flew toward Liu Tiancheng. “The spirit stones inside are enough to forge two more Primordial Chaos Bells. Let’s put this matter to rest here.”
Liu Tiancheng had no objections. Moreover, for such a young man to already be at the third rank and even capable of breaking the Primordial Chaos Bell, his future potential was immeasurable. Better to avoid unnecessary trouble than risk earning the resentment of a future powerhouse.
“Then we’ll do as Second Sister says.” Liu Tiancheng turned to Liu Jing. “Jing’er, let’s go back first.”
“Father, I—”
Just as Liu Jing was about to speak, Liu Xueyao shot her a glance filled with icy killing intent, scaring her into immediately shutting her mouth.
Watching the figures disappear, Chu Feng let out a sigh of relief and said to Liu Shijing, “Thank you, Senior, for stepping in today. Otherwise, I probably would’ve been finished here.”
“No need to thank me. You’re Xueyao’s future husband. Sooner or later, we’d all be family.”
As she said this, a trace of bitterness welled up in Liu Shijing’s heart.
A delicate hand pressed against her chest, and suddenly, a sharp pain gripped her heart.
Especially when she saw Chu Feng’s gaze, her thoughts instantly fell into disarray.
“I’ll go take care of the aftermath.”
Liu Shijing didn’t dare look into Chu Feng’s eyes again and fled the scene as if escaping.

“Sister Holy Maiden, how did you and Senior end up here?”
“Aunt brought me back.”
“I see… I didn’t expect to run into you at your home.”
“This place… is not my home.”
“Huh?”
Chu Feng looked at Liu Xueyao in surprise.
Liu Xueyao said calmly, “Aunt said my mother is from here, but they… don’t acknowledge me.”
She spoke of her background in a flat, matter-of-fact tone.
After hearing this, Chu Feng couldn’t help but think. Sister Holy Maiden, with your life story, it could easily be turned into one of those melodramatic primetime soap operas. The ratings would definitely be high.
So in other words, the Liu family is declining and now wants to rely on the prestige of the Yaochi Holy Land to prop themselves up.
That made sense. As a superpower, even the slightest connection to the Yaochi Holy Land would bring endless benefits.
Honestly, if it weren’t for being entangled with the protagonist, he’d happily say to them: “Big sisters, I’m hungry… feed me.”
The doctor said my stomach isn’t great. I can only live off soft meals.
After entering a room, Liu Xueyao didn’t say a word and immediately began taking off Chu Feng’s clothes.
Chu Feng: “!!!”
“Wait!” Chu Feng grabbed her soft, boneless hand and looked at her. “Sister Holy Maiden, what are you doing?”
“Bathing.”
“If it’s a bath, I can do it myself. No need to trouble you, Sister Holy Maiden.”
Chu Feng tightly gripped the tie at his waist. After all, he had just escaped earlier and had indeed worked up quite a sweat. It was time to wash up.
The reason he didn’t let her undress him was that he was afraid he wouldn’t be able to control himself once his clothes were off. If something suddenly popped out and hit the Holy Maiden, that would be disastrous.
Seeing this, Liu Xueyao didn’t insist and instead walked behind the screen.
Hearing the sound of flowing water behind him, Chu Feng placed his clothes on the bed and walked in wearing only his undergarments.
The bathwater was already prepared. Liu Xueyao had changed into a thin white bath towel, and her long hair was tied up into a bun.
“Sister Holy Maiden, this outfit of yours is…?”
“To help my husband bathe.”
“…Alright.”
Chu Feng stepped into the bath and submerged his body in the water.
Instantly, the fatigue throughout his body began to melt away. Just then, he felt ripples in the water.
Opening his eyes, he saw a fair body moving toward him. His blood pressure shot up, and he immediately covered himself.
“Sister Holy Maiden, I really can manage on my own.”
Chu Feng spoke weakly, but Liu Xueyao who usually listened to him in everything was unusually firm this time.
“It’s not enough for my husband to be alone.”
“It is, it is! sister Holy Maiden, I can—”
“Husband, be good and listen.”
Under Liu Xueyao’s insistence, Chu Feng gave in.
Most of Chu Feng’s body was submerged in the water, his face flushed red. Whether from the steam or something else, it was hard to tell.
Although Liu Xueyao was wrapped in a bath towel, the mature, alluring curves of her figure were far too much for him to handle. His body felt like it was about to explode.
The Holy Maiden treated him completely like a child. That soft, full part of her would brush past him from time to time. When he glanced back from the corner of his eye, he caught sight of a half-hidden, full expanse of white softness entering his view, almost playfully.
Who knew how long passed before this torment finally came to an end.
When he opened his eyes again, the Holy Maiden was already standing in front of him.
Her swan-like, fair neck was especially striking. Droplets of water slid down from her fragrant shoulders, across her collarbone, and into the deep valley below, while some followed the curve of her body and fell back into the bathwater.
Seeing the Holy Maiden approach him again, Chu Feng panicked.
“Big sister Holy Maiden, isn’t the washing already done?”
“The back is done. Next… the front.”
“No—! Sister Holy Maiden, I can handle the front myself, really—”
Chu Feng felt like his life was in danger. If she really washed the front, then he would—
For your sake, I’ll turn into a wolf.
And once that happened, there’d be no stopping it.
