After Breaking Off the Engagement, I Started Pursuing My Master-Chapter 182 - So weak

Chapter 182: So weak

Jiang Huai sat in the pavilion.

His heart felt a tad empty. Luo Qingyu had stayed at Tianxuan Sect several times before, but each time Jiang Huai sent her away, he didn’t feel much reluctance. Yet this time, there was an inexplicable sense of loss.

This separation, the next time they would meet would be at the Yuelan Continent competition, almost a month away.

At the moment, Jiang Huai was playing Go with Bai Li. The two were evenly matched, engaged in a fierce battle.

Wen Wanwan had gone down the mountain to complete a sect mission and would not return for a few days. Her task was simple: to kill a Core Formation beast that was causing trouble in a village. For her, who had already reached the Divine Transformation stage, it was no challenge at all, so Jiang Huai wasn’t too worried.

“Ah, Qingyu left so quickly. I wanted to sleep with her for one night, but every night she was monopolized by you,” Bai Li said, swinging her fair little legs.

She and Jiang Huai had recently visited Tianxuan Sect’s Ziyun Pavilion together. As the host, Jiang Huai Jr. spent money to buy her many beautiful dresses. She was now wearing a sleeveless purple cheongsam, her legs white and smooth beneath it.

“Heh, even if you asked Qingyu, she might not sleep with you.”

“Ah, Qingyu is also ungrateful.”

Bai Li propped her cheek, looking up at Jiang Huai.

“With Wanwan and Qingyu gone these days, will you be able to sleep alone at night?”

“I’ve slept alone for so many years before, how could I not sleep?”

“It’s easy to go from frugality to luxury, but difficult to go from luxury to frugality,” Bai Li’s eyes held a hint of playfulness.

She had also once thought she would never feel lonely, that being alone was fine. But after meeting Jiang Huai and adventuring together in the secret realm, she began to toss and turn alone in bed, inexplicably longing for a warm embrace.

“So if I really can’t sleep, isn’t it time to test our brotherly bond?”

“Shameless.”

Bai Li rolled her eyes at him and couldn’t help but knock on his head,

“I used to tease you before, but you’ve become more shameless lately.”

“That’s unreasonable. How come it’s okay for you to tease me, but not for me to tease you?”

“Because I don’t really want to sleep with you, but maybe you really want to sleep with me?”

Bai Li’s lips curled up, and Jiang Huai looked at her darkly,

“You are just throwing dirty water on me now.”

“Hmm? Then don’t make any noise when you see me naked.”

Bai Li stuck out her tongue innocently,

“As long as you don’t make a noise, I can believe you. Do you want to take the challenge?”

“...” Jiang Huai was at a loss for words.

“Don’t even mention making a noise...”

Bai Li’s little foot rose from under the table and rested on his leg, her fair toes poking his abdomen twice,

“Some people might get excited just seeing a girl’s foot.”

“Sorry, I don’t feel anything at all.”

“What about when it’s stepped on?”

“Still nothing.”

“Want to try?”

“That’s not okay.”

Jiang Huai quickly grabbed Bai Li’s ankle.

In the end, he still couldn’t outdo Sister Bai Li.

...

The days of summer became particularly long.

In the courtyard, Chu Xianning wore a white spring dress, slightly transparent, with embroidery clinging to her white shoulders like a painting. In the past, Jiang Huai would always sneak a few extra glances at this time, after all, looking wasn’t illegal, and his master wouldn’t get angry. But this summer, he seemed to have restrained himself a lot, rarely stealing glances at Chu Xianning’s profile while she was daydreaming.

However, occasionally when he saw her unintentionally, he couldn’t help but be stunned by her beauty.

“What do you plan to do with those spiritual medicines?” Chu Xianning asked indifferently.

The courtyard had recently received many spiritual medicines from various places in the Eastern Region, mostly life-extending herbs, some of which were particularly precious. Jiang Huai had checked them and estimated that they could be sold for nearly six to seven hundred thousand spirit stones.

But these were gifts from others. Returning them seemed troublesome to Jiang Huai, yet selling them directly didn’t seem right either, as they were a sign of people’s goodwill. Scratching his head, Jiang Huai said,

“I’ll refine them all and then sell them at the Ziyun Pavilion for some spirit stones. By the way, Master...” frёeweɓηovel.coɱ

Jiang Huai approached Chu Xianning, taking out a spirit stone note worth two hundred thousand spirit stones. This was what Luo Yueguan had insisted on giving to Jiang Huai. He placed the spirit stone note in front of Chu Xianning,

“This is the spirit stone Master gave me last time. I don’t need it for now, and I have enough spirit stones to spend, so Master, please keep it for now.”

Chu Xianning glanced at the spirit stone note on the table, silently took it after a moment, and nodded slightly.

In the evening, Jiang Huai prepared dinner in the courtyard. After eating, he picked up a food box and prepared to go out. Bai Li followed curiously,

“Where are you going?”

“To see Wen Fufu. Wanwan has gone down the mountain for a sect mission, and it’s time to deliver her new medicine.”

Bai Li nodded lightly, then followed her to Wen Wanwan’s courtyard.

Bai Li had already visited Wen Wanwan’s courtyard a few days ago and had become good friends with Wen Fufu since they were both avid readers of Ah Mumu. Wen Fufu had learned from Wen Wanwan that Jiang Huai was Ah Mumu, but she was unwilling to accept it, feeling disillusioned.

Her most beloved Ah Mumu, who understood women so well and was so versed in romance, turned out to be the very proper-looking Senior Brother Jiang Huai.

She couldn’t accept it at all.

Wen Fufu opened the door, wearing a pink spring dress, light and soft, revealing a lot of skin. She always dressed very coolly in the courtyard, since she hardly went out anyway. A few days ago, Wen Fufu, along with Wen Wanwan, Bai Li, and Luo Qingyu, went to Tianxuan Sect’s Spirit Beast Mountain. Wen Fufu saw a snow-white long-haired cat that couldn’t walk, and Luo Qingyu bought it for her with spirit stones.

After seeing that her sister had no objections, Wen Fufu happily accepted and was so delighted she almost kissed Luo Qingyu. Now, as she opened the door still holding the cat, she saw Jiang Huai and Bai Li, her gaze quickly fixating on the food box in Jiang Huai’s hand,

“Hmm? What’s delicious?”

“I made steamed pork ribs with taro, braised spirit fish, and tomato scrambled eggs.”

Jiang Huai put down the food box, which was meant for Wen Fufu. She put the cat aside and sat down to eat dinner, while Bai Li happily played with the white cat on the ground, chasing it for a while before catching it and rubbing it vigorously.

“What brings brother-in-law here?”

“To deliver medicine.”

“Is brother-in-law finally going to massage my body?”

Originally, Jiang Huai had planned to do just that. His conscience was clear; applying the medicinal liquid to her wasn’t particularly troublesome. At worst, he could have her wear lighter, thinner clothes, and let her absorb the medicine through the fabric, which would only waste a bit more. Now that he was wealthy, wasting some medicine didn’t matter. But since Bai Li was also there, it was a good opportunity to avoid doing it himself. He reached out and pinched Bai Li’s little face,

“Come, help me out. I’ll teach you how to massage Wen Fufu’s body, and then you can do it just like I showed you.”

“Oh.” Bai Li didn’t mind at all, not even blushing in the slightest.

She tilted her head, “So, should we go to the bed?”

“Go lie down.”

So Bai Li obediently accompanied Jiang Huai to the room, while Wen Fufu stayed in the courtyard eating dinner. Jiang Huai looked at Bai Li, who was lying down obediently. Her eyes were innocent and lazy. He approached the bed, began to massage her gently, and explained the function of each acupoint. After one round, Jiang Huai blinked innocently,

“Remember how to do it?”

“I didn’t remember. Do it again.”

“...”

This girl was obviously doing it on purpose.

Jiang Huai had no choice but to massage her seriously once more. Bai Li’s body was soft, and he felt almost no guilt as he kneaded her. Perhaps it was because they had held each other through many days and nights in the secret realm, or because they had been open and honest with each other countless times, or due to various strange coincidences and inexplicable jokes, their relationship had become particularly delicate.

After seriously massaging her once more, Bai Li finally nodded, saying she remembered. Then it was her turn to massage Wen Fufu, who went to bathe first. When she returned, wearing a simple bathrobe, Jiang Huai couldn’t help but imagine her for a moment as Wen Wanwan, since Wen Fufu and Wen Wanwan looked so much alike.

Now it was Wen Fufu’s turn to lie obediently on the bed. Bai Li carefully applied the medicinal liquid to her body, with Jiang Huai guiding her to avoid pressing the wrong acupoints. Wen Fufu’s body couldn’t withstand much stimulation, and she looked at Bai Li with a pained expression,

“It hurts a bit...”

“I’ll be gentler.”

Bai Li replied, somewhat embarrassed, and lightened her touch, but she still couldn’t get the strength right, and Wen Fufu was in so much pain that she was almost in tears. Bai Li felt a little ashamed,

“You should do it... I don’t seem to be good at this.”

Jiang Huai sighed helplessly and had to come over to massage Wen Fufu himself. He started with her delicate little feet. Bai Li went out to play with the cats, and suddenly it was just Jiang Huai and Wen Fufu left in the room.

Wen Fufu’s bathrobe was thin, and her body still had droplets of water that hadn’t been wiped dry. The neckline of the bathrobe revealed a soft, lustrous, snowy white. Her cheeks were slightly flushed as she lay on the bed looking at Jiang Huai, who was serious in his task. Wen Fufu’s eyes, however, were full of wariness,

“Aren’t you going to do what’s written in Ah Mumu’s book? The kind of massage that makes a woman fall in love quietly, her eyes become misty, and then she can’t leave your hands?”

“Of course, that’s exaggerated, isn’t it?” Jiang Huai looked at her helplessly, pressed her foot, and Wen Fufu’s pink and white toes curled up.

She muttered softly,

“My sister is gentler than you...”

“Well, your sister isn’t here, so make do for now.”

Jiang Huai tried to be even gentler in his movements. Maybe it was because Wen Fufu’s body couldn’t take much force, or maybe because she and Wen Wanwan had the same physique. Wen Wanwan was the type who could become soft and pliable just by sitting in his arms and kissing him, and it seemed Wen Fufu was similar.

Wen Fufu lay obediently on the bed, letting Jiang Huai’s hands roam freely over her body. After a while, however, she suddenly said something that puzzled Jiang Huai.

“We could have waited for my sister to come back in a few days to massage me... Why do you think my sister asked you to massage me?”

Wen Fufu’s voice sounded so innocent, but when Jiang Huai turned to look at her, he seemed to detect a hint of slyness.

“Maybe your sister wants you to get better soon. Don’t overthink it.”

“That’s not it.” Wen Fufu blinked innocently,

“My sister specifically asked me if I wanted to wait for her to come back to massage me, or if I wanted her to ask you to do it for her, and then... I chose my brother-in-law.”

“So why did you choose me?”

“Because I was curious about the kind of massage technique Ah Mumu wrote about.”

“...that’s a lie. You really believed it?”

“How disappointing.”

Wen Fufu glanced at him sideways, her eyes becoming scornful.

“You’re not Ah Mumu at all. You can’t do what Ah Mumu can do. So weak.”

“...”

Jiang Huai was speechless.
