After Breaking Off the Engagement, I Started Pursuing My Master-Chapter 67 - Lie

Chapter 67: Lie

Jiang Huai has no doubt that if it weren’t for the presence of others, Chu Xianning might have already picked up the teacup and poured the tea all over his face.

Wen Wanwan sits obediently on the side, listening to the master and disciple bicker, feeling a little surprised. So the legendary ice fairy Chu Xianning can also show a bit of temper.

Jiang Huai, of course, doesn’t dare to say another word, just silently sips his tea.

The floral scent fills his mouth as if nourishing his very bones. Jiang Huai blinks innocently at Chu Xianning.

“You, stop drinking,” Chu Xianning’s eyelashes tremble slightly.

“Why? The floral tea is a tribute to you, Master. How can you be so petty?”

“Brew your own pot.”

“Oh, then I’ll also pick some rose petals and try to make it the same as Master’s…” Jiang Huai says as he stands up.

He takes several steps away and glances back at Chu Xianning quietly but doesn’t see any sign of guilt in her eyes.

Chu Xianning’s composure has always been particularly strong.

Jiang Huai doesn’t tease Chu Xianning any further but softly calls out to Wen Wanwan.

“Come to my room.”

Wen Wanwan obediently stands up and follows Jiang Huai into the room. As he closes the door, he meets Chu Xianning’s cold gaze, smiles lightly, and then shuts the door tightly.

…….

“Lie down on the bed,” Jiang Huai looks back at Wen Wanwan.

Wen Wanwan sits obediently on the edge of the bed, carefully lifts her leg, and cautiously takes off her white embroidered shoes. After hesitating for a moment, she also slides off her white silk stockings. She lies down obediently on Jiang Huai’s bed. He comes to the side of the bed, gently takes her delicate hand, and softly says.

“There are many acupoints on the body. To absorb the medicinal liquid, you need to stimulate these points. I will teach you which acupoints to stimulate on Fufu, so pay close attention.”

Wen Wanwan responds obediently, biting her lip, her body trembling slightly. Before closing her eyes, it’s unclear whether her gaze is filled with nervousness, anticipation, or perhaps both.

“If it feels strange, you can shout out. Don’t suppress it. It’s okay,” Jiang Huai continues.

Wen Wanwan hums softly, and then Jiang Huai starts to gently pinch her arm.

Her arm is fine, and Wen Wanwan doesn’t make any strange noises. Jiang Huai seriously explains the function of each acupoint. Soon, his fingertips reach her waist, poking her several times there. Wen Wanwan’s body arches reflexively like a jade bridge, and her crystal-clear toes curl up under her skirt.

“Did you remember all that? If not, we’ll go over it again, okay?” Jiang Huai’s voice seems to carry a hint of playfulness.

“Wanwan… don’t remember it clearly,” Wen Wanwan’s eyes open, looking at him with watery eyes.

The source of this c𝓸ntent is frёeweɓηovel.coɱ.

So Jiang Huai pokes her a few more times.

Then it’s the ankle. Jiang Huai gently holds the girl’s foot, his fingertips lightly pressing on her soft arch. Perhaps because it’s too sensitive, Wen Wanwan accidentally lets out a breath, then her cheeks flush with embarrassment, and she dares not look into Jiang Huai’s eyes again.

“There are many acupoints on the foot. This area needs special attention,” Jiang Huai says with an air of righteousness.

He plays with the girl’s foot in his hand for a while until Wen Wanwan’s grip on the bedsheet loosens due to her body going limp, and only then does Jiang Huai stop. He then presses gently through her skirt on her leg.

“The acupoints here are also very important.”

Wen Wanwan squirms away reflexively because of the tickling sensation. Jiang Huai watches her playfully. After a while, Wen Wanwan bites her lip.

“Wanwan… will endure it well.”

The air in the room seems to grow hotter.

After a while, once Jiang Huai has explained all the key acupoints to Wen Wanwan, she lies on the bed, drained of strength, limp as mud. Even when Jiang Huai pokes her cheek with his fingertip, she doesn’t react. Jiang Huai is somewhat amused.

“Well, rest for a bit, okay? Get up and eat after resting.”

“Mm-hmm.”

“I’ll go check on the alchemy fire.” Jiang Huai speaks softly, covers Wen Wanwan with a blanket, and she obediently holds onto it, only her little head peeking out.

Jiang Huai turns to leave the room, and as he opens the door, he sees Chu Xianning practicing her swordsmanship calmly in the courtyard.

So Jiang Huai pauses to watch for a moment.

Sometimes, Chu Xianning’s mood can be discerned from her swordplay. When she’s in a good mood, the blade is lively and agile. When she’s not, it’s likely as now, decisive and cold, the sword qi chilling Jiang Huai to the bone.

He always has the illusion that Chu Xianning’s sword could pierce his eye at any second, so he stops watching and goes to check on the alchemy fire. After confirming there are no issues and that the pill will be ready in an hour, he turns around to find Chu Xianning has finished practicing.

Jiang Huai thinks for a moment, then explains.

“I was teaching her in the room how to massage her sister to absorb the medicinal liquid when the time comes.”

“Who asked you?” Chu Xianning glances at him.

“I’m just saying.”

The humiliation doesn’t bother Jiang Huai much anymore. He goes to the kitchen, where the Snow Spirit Fish he had steamed earlier is ready to eat. He prepares a couple of side dishes. He had set aside a small piece of the fish to steam separately, which he now puts into a food box along with the side dishes so Wen Wanwan can take it back for her sister to try.

Jiang Huai brings the dishes out one by one and places them on the table. Chu Xianning’s gaze falls on the Snow Spirit Fish, “Did you go to the Lingxue Lake and steal someone’s fish again?”

“I caught it myself. How can that be considered stealing?”

“It’s missing a piece.” Chu Xianning looks at the steamed fish and comments indifferently.

“I saved a piece for her sister,” Jiang Huai replies softly.

“Her sister is bedridden all day, quite pitiful.”

“So you’re that kind-hearted.”

“It’s all thanks to Master’s good teaching.”

Jiang Huai always feels like Chu Xianning’s anger is rising, and perhaps once Wen Wanwan leaves the courtyard, it will be his end.

But why isn’t he nervous at all now, even feeling a little excited?

Hmm? Will Master press me to the ground and stomp on my chest again?

Oh no! Jiang Huai Jr.!

A strange attribute has awakened!

Jiang Huai gets up to call Wen Wanwan from the room. She sits up obediently, still a bit weak. Seeing the girl sitting on the bed, he kneels down to put on her shoes and socks. Perhaps this action makes Wen Wanwan feel embarrassed for a moment, and she blurts out in a fluster,

“Wanwan can do it herself, it’s not right for Jiang Huai Senior Brother to put on my shoes…”

“It’s okay,” Jiang Huai laughs helplessly, gently holding her slightly moving ankle and looking up into her flustered eyes.

“Jiang Huai Senior Brother… you’re really nice.”

“Wanwan is also very cute.”

Jiang Huai finishes putting on her shoes and walks out with her, returning to the table.

Chu Xianning doesn’t move her chopsticks, so Jiang Huai doesn’t either. He now needs to avoid any reason Chu Xianning might use to justifiably beat him up. Master Chu Xianning is sometimes very reasonable, at least she won’t beat him up just because he stepped into the yard with his left foot first.

The mealtime is actually a bit late, around two or three in the afternoon. Wen Wanwan only eats a little bit, not because the taste is bad, but perhaps because Chu Xianning is present, she’s too shy to eat too much.

So Jiang Huai picks up a piece of fish for her with his chopsticks.

Wen Wanwan holds her bowl, her eyes timid yet sparkling.

Chu Xianning also eats only a little before standing up and saying indifferently.

“I’m full, you two continue.”

With that, she leaves the courtyard. Jiang Huai winks at Wen Wanwan.

“Eat a bit more. I’ve already saved a portion for your sister.”

“Jiang Huai Senior Brother…”

“Yes?”

“I feel… it seems like Fairy Chu is a bit upset.”

“Hmm? No, fairies are above worldly concerns, so it’s normal for them to have a small appetite.”

Jiang Huai answered thus while Wen Wanwan nodded somewhat understandingly. After having lunch with Jiang Huai, they sat together on chairs to bask in the sun.

Basking in the sun is truly the happiest thing.

After waiting for another half an hour, the elixir in Jiang Huai’s alchemy furnace was finally ready. He opened the furnace and saw the golden patterns on the elixir, which signified perfect quality.

Perfect quality elixirs, even in the hands of the heavenly alchemists of Alchemy Mountain, were hard to come by. Yet Jiang Huai had mastered a method to produce nearly 100% perfect quality elixirs. He had some old grievances with Alchemy Mountain and was reluctant to sell the method to them, so he kept it to himself, waiting for a good buyer in the future. After all, once the method spread, it would lose its value.

As far as Jiang Huai knew, none of the people he knew could afford the price of the technique to produce perfect quality elixirs below the heavenly tier.

Elixirs are a major resource for cultivators on their path, but most of the elixirs produced come with elixir toxicity. For example, with Qi Gathering Pills, a Foundation Establishment cultivator can only consume one a month at most. Eating more would accumulate toxicity, which is detrimental to future cultivation. However, if the elixir is flawless, then consuming a dozen or so isn’t an issue.

“Here are ten elixirs in total, give one to Fufu every three days. I’ll refine new ones for her next month.”

Jiang Huai stuffed the elixirs into Wen Wanwan’s hands, then took out a medicinal liquid he had prepared earlier.

“This is for massaging her body, once a month is enough. Her body can only be nurtured slowly, there’s no need to rush, she will definitely be cured.”

As Jiang Huai spoke, he suddenly thought of something, led Wen Wanwan back to the house, and rummaged through his chest for a human body model. He marked the acupoints for the massage on the model, and after marking them, he handed it to Wen Wanwan.

“If you can’t remember any acupoints, just follow this model for the massage.”

Wen Wanwan was initially startled, then blinked innocently at Jiang Huai.

Jiang Huai also blinked innocently back at her.

Wen Wanwan laughed, and Jiang Huai laughed along with her.

“Then why does Senior Brother Jiang Huai have to massage Wanwan first?” Wen Wanwan asked with a smile.

“It’s to get Wanwan familiar with it first to ensure nothing goes wrong.”

“I see.” Wen Wanwan’s smile grew even brighter.

“Yes, that’s how it is.” Jiang Huai lied without blushing.
