We moved to Golden Courtyard

This is truly... the first time I've ever seen Fu Hua so lively.

Following the other person up to the top floor of the library, they were surprised to find a balcony there.

Looking outwards, one can take in the entire layout of the Taixu Temple.

“When I was little, my master wouldn’t let me go upstairs. She always said it was because she was afraid I would have unrealistic ambitions. But little did she know, I had already secretly come upstairs several times before.”

Fu Hua suddenly pointed to the west. Xu Qi looked up and his gaze passed through two mountain peaks, landing right on... a town?

town?

"What Master doesn't want me to see is that thing..."

Xu Qi remained silent.

"I was very curious at the time, extremely curious, why were those densely packed houses so different in style from those on Mount Taixu? It turns out there was another world outside the mountains..."

It turns out that the world is so vast, and there is more than just one mountain, Taixu Mountain.

Perhaps it was from that time that the thought of wanting to leave took root in my mind.

Xu Qi stared blankly at everything before him. So this was the place where his little Fu Hua, his sister, had grown up. And this closed environment hadn't molded him into a closed-off person.

Instead, it's like a caged bird, constantly trying to break free.

"This... is all I have from my childhood. I'm sorry, that's all there is, because it was really boring back then, all I did was practice martial arts."

These are the only two places I have time to play and rest.

That's enough... that's more than enough...

Fu Hua reached out and gently embraced Xu Qi's lower back. She pressed her cheek against Xu Qi's back, closed her eyes, and felt the gentle breeze blowing from the top of the pavilion.

"When I came here, I wanted to show you all of this."

"why?"

"Because this place holds all my childhood memories, and I... want to share these precious memories with you, to entrust everything I have to you..."

This gift is so precious...

Xu Qi gently stroked the back of Fu Hua's hand that was holding him and said softly, "I should have learned about these things sooner. It's my fault as the older brother."

"No, brother, you are the best brother to me in the world."

Xu Qi turned around and saw Fu Hua with tears streaming down her face.

"Why are you crying?"

"No..." Wiping away her tears, Fu Hua sniffed and laughed, "When I was little, I thought that if I ever got married and had a husband, I would definitely bring him back to see the place where I lived when I was a child... It feels like a dream now... like my childhood dream."

285. That's too much! I'm your sister!

Holding Fu Hua in his arms, Xu Qi said softly, "Then I think there's something missing from your dream."

Fu Hua blinked in confusion.

"And your childhood bedroom, isn't it?"

Fu Hua was deeply embarrassed! Her gaze flickered, and she hesitated, as if she wanted to say something but couldn't. After all, a woman's boudoir wasn't something a man could easily see. But Xu Qi...

The two had already consummated their marriage and enjoyed the pleasures of love. Even now, recalling that night's experience, Fu Hua couldn't help but want to do those shameful things with Xu Qi again.

"What? Did you forget where you put it?"

How could she forget? She was clearly so ashamed she didn't know what to do!

Fu Hua was annoyed—that jerk Xu Qi, he must have seen through her intentions and was deliberately using those words to tease her.

As Fu Hua led Xu Qi away from the top floor of the library, he kept his head down the whole way until a small house came into view, at which point he couldn't help but tremble.

The closer they got, the slower their steps became.

Xu Qi raised an eyebrow, stepped forward, and gently stroked Fu Hua's waist.

"!"

Fu Hua grinned and looked at Xu Qi.

"You did it on purpose! Didn't you?"

"Correct."

Fu Hua was shocked—how could he be so shameless as to admit it?!

"Hua, don't you want to?" Xu Qi leaned close to Fu Hua's neck, gently inhaling the delicate, gardenia-like fragrance emanating from the girl. Fu Hua hurriedly glanced left and right in a flustered manner.

Finding no one around, he finally spoke to Xu Qi in an annoyed tone.

"You...we're still outside, don't do this..."

He lightly pecked Fu Hua on the cheek, causing the girl's cheek to turn bright red!

"elder brother!"

"Alright, alright, I won't tease you anymore." Xu Qi smiled and raised his hands. He had realized that whenever Fu Hua was extremely shy, she couldn't help but call him 'brother' to act cute.

But what if it were in bed...?

Xu Qi didn't dare to think about it any further.

"Do you still consider me your little sister?"

Of course?

"What kind of older brother would treat his younger sister like that?"

Xu Qi fell into deep thought...

"I."

"Don't go too far!"

Amidst the laughter and commotion, they arrived at the seemingly ordinary little house. Fu Hua paused, and Xu Qi knew—they had arrived.

Pushing open the wooden door and stepping over the not-so-high threshold, Fu Hua suddenly laughed upon seeing this.

"When I was little, I liked to run around and often didn't pay attention to this threshold, so I tripped over it several times."

Xu Qi looked at the threshold he had just crossed—it was indeed easy to trip over.

"and then?"

"I was still young then, so naturally I cried and fussed, and my master had to coax me."

Xu Qi grinned – he really hadn't expected Fu Hua to be so interesting when she was a child.

Looking into the room, it was simple and unpretentious. After all, it was the antique Taixu Temple. Xu Qi had imagined it would be a scene of a daughter's dressing table and red curtains.

But to my surprise, it was nothing more than a desk, a wardrobe, and a wooden window.

"It's called a boudoir, but for me when I was a child, it was just a place to study and sleep." Fu Hua's eyes showed no emotion as she said these words.

"Life at Taixu Temple is so mundane, with little entertainment and therefore little desire."

……

When Fu Hua turned to look at Xu Qi, she saw that the other woman's eyes were filled with heartache. Fu Hua was stunned, and she couldn't help but ask.

"Why...why do you look at me like that?"

"It is impossible for a person to be without desires."

"Yes, this is something I gradually came to understand after I came down the mountain... Back then, I was curious about everything and craved everything."

So I studied and went to university, and now I'm doing my studies while also practicing martial arts to become the best in the world.

Ultimately, it's not about some so-called better life, it's just because... I think.

"Because I didn't even know what material things were when I was a child, all my desires were basically concentrated on the spiritual level."

Xu Qi stepped forward.

"Even though this world is filthy and full of novelty and temptation, you still maintain the same mindset you had on the mountain. Hua... you are remarkable."

Fu Hua, who was almost used to Xu Qi's intimacy, held her breath at this sentence, as if she was extremely shy and happy...

"Really...really?"

"Even I can't help but want more luxurious models, more detailed figurines, a nice car, and even think about buying a few real luxury items."

After joining ETStudio, my income began to rise, and with it came more desires, most of which were material.

Fu Hua, you are truly a guiding light for me.

Fu Hua pursed her lips, scratched her head, and said, "Actually... Brother Xu Qi is already very good. It's normal for him to have some material enjoyment and needs."

Isn't Eden Sister the same? There's never enough wealth, and that's her ideal and pursuit. Xu Qi often tells me, "Just be yourself."

This applies even more to Xu Qi; as long as he clearly understands what he wants to do, that's enough.

Xu Qi laughed and reached out to rub Fu Hua's head.

"My younger sister has started lecturing me."

"That's just how it is. Brother, you can be so childish sometimes. Even I, as your sister, can't stand it, especially when it comes to dealing with relationships with women!"

Um... there's absolutely no way to refute that.

"You womanizer! You scumbag! That day was even worse! In such heavy rain, you found me and just started kissing me... Didn't you even consider that there were shops open around here?"

Xu Qi glanced at Fu Hua's lips.

This made her take a step back, and she asked warily, "What are you going to do?"

Xu Qi raised an eyebrow—You really should thank Mei and the others. If we hadn't just exercised this morning, we would have pinned you to the bed right now!

But we can't just let it go like this...

So Xu Qi stepped forward, leaned close to Fu Hua's ear and said, "Come to my room tonight."

The girl's cheeks turned completely red!

"That's...that's too much...I'm your sister!"

With his right hand around Fu Hua's waist, and his left hand gently pressing on Fu Hua's powerful buttocks, the girl offered no resistance and allowed Xu Qi to do as he pleased with her body.

"Really? A sister like this?"

Fu Hua turned her face away, deliberately avoiding looking at Xu Qi.

"That...the crowdfunding group 456127940...that was also something you forced me to do..."

Stubborn...

He hooked Fu Hua's chin, the girl's eyes were hazy, as if she were drunk, her cheeks flushed slightly, her eyes half-drunk with peach blossom wine... she was breathtakingly beautiful.

Xu Qi leaned down and captured Fu Hua's cherry-red lips, savoring them.

In Fu Hua's boudoir, in this place filled with the girl's childhood memories, she kissed the man she loved—Fu Hua didn't tell Xu Qi that this had actually appeared in her own innocent childhood thoughts as well.

286. Aponia: I will help you alleviate your sins.

With the moon bright and the stars few, Fu Xian'er, out of respect for the host, invited everyone from the Golden Courtyard to stay for a few days, purely as a visit... for sightseeing.

Considering that it was Fu Hua's hometown after all, they agreed.

Moreover, although Taixu Temple looks very ancient, it is actually quite modern. At least the newly built guest courtyard has air conditioning.

“There’s even the internet.”

Kevin said calmly to Xu Qi.

"Why...do you need to add 'even'?"

"I guess they still think this place is just like ancient life, with no internet or electricity, so when they heard that you, Xu Qi, were planning to let everyone stay here for a few days, they even wanted to go back to the airship in Vervi.

Su added.

Upon hearing this, Xu Qi was deeply saddened and looked at Kevin, asking him a question.

"Kevin... have you become a new-age shut-in who can't survive without the internet?"

"Yes."
