Don't talk nonsense, this is the Emperor's Banner

Chapter 453 Leading the Way
"I'm so sleepy, why did you wake me up so early in the morning?"

Ruan Hongzhuang was led to the balcony by Shen Siyuan with sleepy eyes. She had not washed her face, combed her hair, or changed her pajamas. She was extremely sleepy and full of resentment at the moment.

"Of course it's to exercise." Shen Siyuan said.

"You want me dead, don't you? You're sincere, right? It wasn't enough to torture me last night, but you still want to torture me early in the morning?"

"How did he torture you last night?"

Just then, a small voice nearby asked curiously.

Ruan Hongzhuang looked down and was shocked. Doudou was standing beside her, looking up at her curiously. She was instantly awakened from her sleepiness.

"When did you come?" Ruan Hongzhuang asked.

"I came here last night and saw my aunt acting rudely to the sweet potato pot." Doudou said proudly, with his hands on his hips.

Ruan Hongzhuang looked at Shen Siyuan with suspicion.

"What did you do after I fell asleep last night?" Ruan Hongzhuang was not sleepy at all now.

"Don't listen to her nonsense." Shen Siyuan said.

"I'm not talking nonsense, I saw it with my own eyes." Doudou said angrily.

"What did you see?" Ruan Hongzhuang asked Doudou.

Shen Siyuan just opened his mouth to explain, but was stopped by Ruan Hongzhuang's look.

"I saw that Fanshu Guoguo was not wearing any clothes, and my aunt was wearing very little clothes." Doudou said honestly.

"(→_→), oh, are you so impatient?" Ruan Hongzhuang said sarcastically.

"Don't listen to her nonsense. Last night when I came out of the shower, I happened to meet Taozi. She ordered a lot of takeout, so I sat down and ate some together." Shen Siyuan hurriedly explained.

"I didn't say anything, why are you in such a hurry to explain?"

Shen Siyuan: ...

"Besides, if you really have something, I won't be angry. There is no need to hide it from me." Ruan Hongzhuang said with a smile.

Dou Dou looked at Ruan Hongzhuang's smile carefully, then turned around and ran into the house.

She was so familiar with this kind of smile. Every time her mother smiled like this, her father would be scolded.

"You little thing..."

Shen Siyuan gritted his teeth. He thought, "You're just going to run away if I add fuel to the fire, right? It seems that I didn't hit you too lightly last night."

"Tell me, what happened between you last night? I'm really not angry, I'm just curious."

Ruan Hongzhuang held Shen Siyuan's arm and smiled.

Women's words are deceiving. Shen Siyuan has been in love before, so it would be strange if he believed her.

If I really tell her the truth, she will immediately turn hostile to me, not to mention that there was really nothing going on between them last night.

After Ruan Hongzhuang understood the situation clearly, she said, "Ah, I thought you and Taozi had something going on?"

"What's that tone of voice? Do you still hope that there will be something going on between me and Taozi?"

"Yes." Ruan Hongzhuang nodded in acknowledgement.

Shen Siyuan: ...

She made him a little confused, and when he thought about Taozi's attitude before, he seemed to have vaguely remembered something.

Seeing Shen Siyuan's surprised look, Ruan Hongzhuang suddenly widened her eyes.

"Hmph, now I've figured it out, you're really not a good person." Ruan Hongzhuang reached out and pinched Shen Siyuan's waist.

Shen Siyuan grabbed her hand, it was true that women's hearts were as unpredictable as the sea.

"Stop making trouble. I'm waking you up early in the morning because I have something serious to tell you." Shen Siyuan said.

"What's the serious matter?" Ruan Hongzhuang asked curiously. "Type out "Bao Feng Mian" for me to see." Shen Siyuan said.

Although Ruan Hongzhuang was a little confused when she heard this, she still assumed the starting posture of "Bao Feng Mian" and then slowly stretched her limbs.

Seeing Ruan Hongzhuang's movements, Shen Siyuan breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that Ruan Hongzhuang had been studying hard and practicing diligently during this period. Her every move was very standard, and she even understood some boxing theories and artistic conception. Unfortunately, in this world without spiritual energy, no matter how well she practiced, it could only play a role in strengthening the body.

However, Shen Siyuan woke her up early this morning not just to check on her progress in learning "Bao Feng Mian".

Instead, he wanted to use the merit to slightly strengthen her body so that they wouldn't always be in disharmony when they were together.

So he stretched out his finger and tapped directly on the back of Ruan Hongzhuang's neck.

Ruan Hongzhuang only felt a chill on the back of her neck and subconsciously tried to stop what she was doing.

But Shen Siyuan's serious voice came to my ears: "Don't stop, keep practicing."

Ruan Hongzhuang followed the instructions and continued to stretch her limbs according to the movements of "Bao Feng Mian".

But this time, she felt different instantly. She saw a cool air in her body, flowing through her limbs along with her movements, like a spirit snake, moving and rolling in coordination with her movements.

She focused her attention on this stream of air and gradually entered a state of ecstasy, her body instinctively stretching according to the movements of "Mian with the Wind".

Slowly, she felt her whole body become light and her soul rose with the wind, flying high into the sky, galloping freely in the sky. She embraced the clouds, the sun, the sky, and the ubiquitous wind...

It was a freedom from the constraints of the flesh, and she was completely absorbed in it, forgetting the passage of time.

After an unknown amount of time, she suddenly felt her body sink and fall suddenly.

When her consciousness returned to her body, she woke up instantly and her body movements stopped.

She was breathing heavily, but her breath was extremely long. She soon realized something was wrong, looked down at her hands, and clenched her fists.

The body, which was originally a little sore and sleepy, now seemed extremely energetic. The whole body seemed to be cheering and full of energy, and the body became light.

She turned around suddenly and looked at Shen Siyuan behind her with surprise: "What did you do to me?"

"I gave you a breath of energy." Shen Siyuan said.

Ruan Hongzhuang blinked her eyes, indicating that she didn't understand.

Shen Siyuan explained: "Although "Bao Feng Mian" is a good technique, it is impossible to develop a sense of Qi. Practicing it for a lifetime will not be of much use except to make the body stronger. Because the world is like this now, there is nothing we can do about it."

"And now I have given you a wisp of Qi. Although it is not much, as long as it is not leaked and remains in your body, it will stimulate some special effects of the Fengmian technique."

"Then will this energy become bigger and stronger as I practice?" Ruan Hongzhuang asked hopefully.

"No, it may even be completely consumed by your body." Shen Siyuan's words were like a bucket of cold water.

"why?"

"I've said it before. The world is like this now. You can no longer practice the Qi sense with 'Holding the Wind to Sleep', and naturally you won't be able to absorb the Qi into your body. But don't be disappointed. This Qi will strengthen your body and greatly improve your body functions. However, this requires a process and it can't be achieved overnight."

"So that's how it is. There won't be any side effects, right?"

"Of course not. Apart from increasing your appetite and feeling hungry more often, there will be no other side effects."

When Ruan Hongzhuang heard this, she thought about Shen Siyuan's appetite and she suddenly realized something.

Does this count as inducting her into Taoism?
Thinking of this, Ruan Hongzhuang was full of gratitude. She stood on tiptoes and kissed Shen Siyuan directly on the corner of his mouth.

"Thank you." Ruan Hongzhuang said gratefully.

Fortunately, Shen Siyuan didn't know what she was thinking. If he knew, he would only say that she was thinking too much.

The reason why he wanted to help her draw the Qi into her body was just to lay a foundation for another set of exercises in the evening.

Just then, a small voice came from behind.

"I didn't see it. I didn't see anything. I didn't see my sister kissing the sweet potato pot..."

Doudou covered his eyes with his little hands, with his ten fingers spread wide, and peeked at the two of them from behind.
