Zhutian: My skills are not serious

Chapter 359: The Highest Level of Cheating

More than a month later.

Lingjiu Palace on Piaomiao Peak.

The north wind blows off the white-headed peak, and the fur quilt can’t stand the cold at midnight.

Winter comes early in the Northeast, and not late in the Northwest either.

A sudden gust of cold air intensified Wu Xingyun's pain from the cold poison. There were three stoves burning in the room, and she was holding a small brazier in her arms. Even so, she was still shivering with cold and her lips were purple.

"This can't go on like this..."

Granny Yu and Fu Minyi were as anxious as ants on a hot pan.

"We were fine, why are you so angry?"

"Ugh."

Mei Jian, who was standing nearby, also sighed.

Two months ago, the Child-Fairy of Tianshan came back to Lingjiu Palace. She looked the same as when she left, still a little girl of eight or nine years old. When several people asked her, they found out that she had a quarrel with her junior brother and returned to Piaomiao Peak in a huff.

Granny Yu asked, "Is there still no news about Cheng Qingshuang?"

Lan Jian shook his head.

Cheng Qingshuang is the deputy commander of the Juntian tribe, and the person sent by Grandma Yu to Xiaojing Lake to invite Monk Kongxu.

Their grandmother was a petty person who would rather die than give in. As subordinates, they couldn't just watch her being tortured to death by the cold poison that was becoming more and more severe day by day.

"Xiaojing Lake is very close to Piaomiao Peak. If we gallop day and night without stopping, two round trips will be enough. How come..."

Fu Minyi had been to Xiaojing Lake, so she could naturally estimate the round-trip time.

Mei Jian said: "Could something have happened?"

Granny Yu glared at her, and the little girl was so scared that she made a loud noise and slapped her mouth.

Just then, a burst of hurried footsteps was heard.

Zhu Jian, wearing a green shirt, rushed into the room breathlessly: "Master Kongxu... Master Kongxu, we are... at the foot of the mountain..."

When Grandma Yu and others heard this, they were overjoyed.

Wu Xingyun, who was curled up on the couch, abandoned the brazier and buried his head in the quilt behind him.

A man in his nineties can act like a child when he's angry.

Granny Yu and Fu Minyi were at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

"You go and greet them."

"it is good."

Fu Minyi took Mei Jian and Lan Jian away, but just as they left the room and before they walked out of the yard, they heard three people calling "Master" in unison. Granny Yu's heart trembled, knowing that Monk Kongxu had come.

You have to know that Zhu Jian had just entered the house not long ago, and he hadn't even caught his breath yet, but Monk Kongxu had already come down the mountain and reached the top of the mountain. How high must his Qinggong be to be able to reach such a speed! No wonder the rumors in the martial arts world said that he had unparalleled martial arts and supernatural powers.

While I was distracted, Fu Minyi had already led people into the room.

Granny Yu hurriedly greeted her: "Master."

"Ah."

Chu Pingsheng looked at the little cutie with his head covered in the quilt and pretended to be angry: "Wu Xingyun, why don't you bow to the master when you see him?"

When Zhu Jian saw that he was still trying to tease his grandmother at this moment, he couldn't help but glare at him.

Granny Yu quickly pulled her aside and winked at Ju Jian on the other side: "We can't help here, so leave the rest to the Sect Master."

Several people filed out.

Only Chu Pingsheng and Wu Xingyun were left in the room.

He first moved the brazier away, then tried to pull the quilt, but the little cutie on the couch held on to it tightly and refused to let go.

“Wu Xingyun, I’m telling you, I left my bride alone in Jiangnan and came to save you. If you dare to act like a spoiled brat again, believe it or not, I will turn around and leave you alone.”

These words worked, and when he pulled the quilt again, Wu Xingyun opened it easily without any effort, revealing the little cutie curled up in a ball and shivering underneath - a wide white skirt spread out on the bed, long black hair spread out in disarray, eyes tightly closed, brows filled with pain, and small hands so white that not a trace of blood could be seen.

He pulled the little hand over and held it, only to find that it was very cold.

"Come, come to daddy's arms. Daddy's arms are warm."

Wu Xingyun suddenly freed his hands, endured the cold, opened his eyes, and responded angrily.

"I...I am your...senior sister."

She tried her best to appear as stern as possible, but the appearance of a cold-fearing little girl was not intimidating at all.

"Senior sister, shit."

Chu Pingsheng aimed at her butt and slapped her.

"Get out! Get out!"

Wu Xingyun's eyes turned red, and he pointed at the door angrily: "Don't let me see you again."

Chu Pingsheng picked the man up without saying a word and slapped him three times on the butt.

"If you didn't want to see me, you should have stopped Fu Minyi and Cheng Qingshuang from going to Xiaojing Lake to seek help. But you didn't. You came here and acted like that. Is this the way you ask for help?"

"You...you...I am your senior sister!" Wu Xingyun's teeth were chattering with coldness.

"Senior sister? Okay, even if you are my senior sister, you should understand my character. I saved Senior Brother Wuyazi, and he accepted disciples on his behalf and gave me the headmaster ring. I also went to Liao to rob Yelu Hongji and brought him to Songshan Shaolin Temple. As for Li Qiushui, I saved her beauty, and she brought the masters of Xixia Yipintang to support Senior Brother, and was willing to sacrifice her granddaughter's happiness to please me. What about you? Count it yourself, how many times have I saved you, and what have you done in return for me?"

"..."

Wu Xingyun was speechless. He remained silent for a long time before he whispered, "This cold poison..."

"You still have the nerve to mention the cold poison. I tried my best to help you find a solution, but who knew Jiumozhi would attack you from behind without caring about our friendship? I was already having a hard time facing a sweeping monk, could it be that you asked me to show mercy and let him go? You even said that I was teasing you on purpose, and left without saying goodbye in a huff. In the past three months, I... went to the Shaolin Temple's Sutra Library to treat your cold poison, Li Qiushui moved to the Langhuan Jade Cave in Mantuo Villa, and went to the Shishui Pavilion where the Murong family has stored secret manuals for many years. I also took the time to go to the Dalun Temple, and finally figured out some clues to resolve the cold poison. As a result, you told me to get out as soon as we met? Wu Xingyun, has your conscience been eaten by a dog?"

Wu Xingyun scolded him harshly, and he was completely stunned. All the humiliation and excitement he felt disappeared in an instant. "Have you really found a way to detoxify?"

"Nonsense." Chu Pingsheng said, "I even created an internal skill for this purpose."

After saying this, he summoned the Nine Yang Qi, and used the Flame Blade Heart Technique to circulate his palms, and held Wu Xingyun's cold hands again: "I said my arms were warm, did you think I was teasing you?"

Feeling the warmth from his palm, Wu Xingyun opened her mouth slightly in surprise.

"You...you have developed fire-attribute Qi?"

"Well, thanks to you." Chu Pingsheng pretended to be scared: "I narrowly escaped death."

Wu Xingyun was very clear about how difficult it was for a cultivator of ice-attributed true qi like him to condense fire-attributed true qi in his body. If he was not careful, water and fire would clash and his meridians would be severed.

The four words "a narrow escape from death" sound brief and light, but the actual price paid is beyond the comprehension of ordinary people.

"Junior brother...I...I..."

Just now she was jealous because she was angry with him, but now she is jealous because she is moved by him.

She has lived for ninety-six years and has seen a lot of the fickleness of the world and the warmth and coldness of human nature. It is not easy to make her emotional. But this cheap junior brother in front of her... Sometimes she really can't tell whether he is sincere to her or just teasing her. Anyway, no matter which one it is, he can make her lose her mind and go crazy.

“Don’t be in a hurry to thank me. It is still unknown whether the Nine Yang True Qi can remove the poison of the Mysterious Nether Divine Palm. I will help you suppress the cold poison first.” After saying that, he said no more and naturally hugged Wu Xingyun into his arms. He held his hand with one hand and reached the other hand into her skirt, pressing against her back, and slowly passed the Nine Yang True Qi into her.

Within the time it took to eat a meal, Wu Xingyun stopped shivering, the coldness emanating from his body disappeared, his face became rosy, his skin tone returned to normal, and his breathing became even and smooth.

"Shh..."

Chu Pingsheng finished his work, slowly exhaled, and then looked thoughtful.

Wu Xingyun didn't say anything. She just stared at him. It was unknown whether she was thinking of something indecent, but she suddenly turned her head away and focused on the scenery outside the window, which was not really scenery.

"This cold poison..."

Chu Pingsheng's words brought her back to her senses.

"Can't solve it?"

"Not really." Chu Pingsheng said, "Two roads."

"Two ways?"

"First, you become my daughter."

"Chu Pingsheng, have you had enough fun?!"

"I'm serious. It's true that the Nine Yang Qi can clear the Mysterious Cold, but it can only work in the gaps between the meridians and the internal organs, and it can't eradicate it, because the internal organs are the most fragile organs of the human body, and the clash between the Nine Yang Qi and the Mysterious Cold will cause irreversible damage. So you must stay by my side all the time. Once an attack occurs, I will help you to detoxify. Although it's troublesome, it will be no problem for you to live another ten or eight years. However, it is impossible to restore your martial arts." After he finished explaining, he coughed lightly and said, "In this way, I have paid so much for you, you must satisfy one of my small wishes. I don't like to hear this kind of old-fashioned voice. I like to hear your childish ventriloquism. Sister, this is not too much?"

"..." Wu Xingyun hesitated for a moment and said, "What about the second way?"

"You will be my child bride."

"you……"

Heroine Wu grabbed his collar and the little cutie got angry: “After all, you’re still teasing me.”

Chu Pingsheng tapped her head again, took out a booklet and threw it to her.

"Look what this is."

Wu Xingyun flipped through the booklet and read a few pages. His expression became strange: "Dual cultivation...method?"

"My Nine Yang Qi will be like a rootless duckweed when it enters your body. It will be eaten away by the cold air emitted by your internal organs. However, this dual cultivation method can allow the yin and yang of two people's bodies to circulate, connecting heaven and earth. In this way, I can pass on the Nine Yang Qi seeds that I have cultivated to you, so that you have the capital to fight against the cold poison. What's more, my physique is different from that of ordinary people. This method can not only heal injuries, but also improve your meridians that shrank when you were twenty-six years old due to demonic possession. Maybe... when you have cultivated back to the level of a twenty-six-year-old, you will have a chance to restore your normal body shape."

"..."

Wu Xingyun’s hand holding the booklet was trembling slightly.

Chu Pingsheng lowered his head slightly and met her eyes: "So, Senior Sister, which of these two paths do you choose?"

"..."

"..."

"..."

Wu Xingyun always felt that he was plotting against him and had been preparing for today from the very beginning. However, when he thought back on his past experiences, there were too many coincidences. Unless he could foresee the future, it would be impossible.

Even if he could predict the future, the incompatibility of internal Qi with water and fire would be a difficult problem that would put him in danger of death. A normal person would never put himself in danger for a cheap senior sister.

After a cup of tea.

Grandma Yu, Fu Minyi, and the Four Swords of Plum, Orchid, Bamboo and Chrysanthemum, who were standing in the yard waiting, saw the door open and Chu Pingsheng walked out with a smile on his face, holding Wu Xingyun in his arms.

"I'll take her away. From now on, you two will discuss what's going on in the mountain."

Having said this, he strode away.

Wu Xingyun didn't say anything, just hugged his neck and buried his head.

It took a while for everyone to react. Granny Yu shouted, "Master, what do you mean by that? Granny... won't be coming back in the future?"

"Well, I still go back to visit my parents occasionally."

Several people breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this, after all, this meant that their grandma would not die. But soon, Fu Minyi screamed.

"Mother... my mother's family? Master... what do you mean?"

The only answer she got was the howling of the north wind; Chu Pingsheng had long disappeared.

The six girls looked at each other in bewilderment. Was the 96-year-old Tianshan Tonglao married by the monk Kongxu?

No wonder their grandmother buried her head and didn't say a word of advice. What to say? Saying anything would ruin her character, so she simply didn't say anything.

Grandma Yu was the first to realize: "Plum Sword, Orchid Sword, Bamboo Sword, Chrysanthemum Sword, what are you standing there for? Hurry up and pack your things and go after her. How can Grandma be left alone to take care of her?"

When the quadruplets heard this, they were immediately thrown into confusion.
