Chapter 182: Shang Yue doing farm work, the older brother educates

~7 min read 1,301 words

The next day, early morning.

The sun had just peeked out, Shang Yue had already arrived at Longshe Shan; Shang Hongxue brought him up the mountain. Actually, he was also familiar with the route, not too surprised, head down, spiritless, unwillingly following behind his older sister, his face full of difficulty and grievance, all showing his inner feelings.

Shang Hongxue walked ahead, occasionally looking back to urge him, telling him to hurry, not to think about going down the mountain, nor about leaving. Once entering the Longshe Shan area, he no longer had any chance to leave this place; those trapped by the formations were not only outsiders, but also those who had entered Longshe Shan; wanting to leave, without Chen Chuyang's permission, is impossible.

On this journey, Shang Yue more than once wanted to go down the mountain, and more than once wanted to escape; each time he just had this inclination, Shang Hongxue caught him, giving him no chance at all.

"Don't look, we've already arrived at Longshe Shan; your good days are coming. From now on, don't think about running down the mountain alone—it's very dangerous. Have you seen those formations? Once you enter a formation, you will surely die."

"These formations, after being strengthened by Chuyang older brother, even if you were at the Condensed Pill stage, you'd have to kneel; so don't think about sneaking away—it's impossible. Don't end up trapped in the formations, or you'll wish you were dead."

"Also, after going up the mountain, behave yourself; don't keep throwing tantrums. This isn't your home, nor a place where you can act recklessly. If you dare disrespect your older sister's husband, watch out—I'll beat you."

Shang Yue felt even more wronged; he hadn't done anything, yet his older sister was about to warn him, making him seem utterly unforgivable, which infuriated him.

"Older sister, you are my older sister—why aren't you on my side?"

"I help reason, not kin."

Shang Hongxue waved her fist, warning Shang Yue again, telling him to behave.

Shang Yue was even more displeased, but he couldn't win a fight now and didn't dare to strike; he could only follow behind his older sister, arriving at Chen Chuyang's residence. Shang Yue saw Chen Chuyang waiting for a while; seeing him come up the mountain, Chen Chuyang's face broke into a grin.

"Oh dear, isn't this my little brother-in-law? How did you come up the mountain? Didn't you say you would never come up the mountain no matter what?"

"Older sister's husband."

Shang Yue shouted upon meeting, his attitude sincere, with no trace of his previous arrogance.

"Oh dear, not seeing you for a day, you've become like a different person—I'm not used to it."

As he spoke, that hand patted his shoulder; the force was so great that Shang Yue almost knelt down.

After just a couple of pats, his shoulder hurt; he wanted to speak, but meeting Chen Chuyang's smiling, narrowed eyes, he instantly felt afraid.

"I've always been like this, older sister's husband; from now on, you should treat me well—whatever you tell me to do, I'll do it, with absolutely no defiance."

"Really?"

"Of course, my father told me that after going up the mountain, older sister's husband tells me to go east, not west; he tells me to work, not to be lazy."

Shang Yue patted his chest, repeatedly assuring, fearing that this older sister's husband would take revenge on him.

This narrow-minded older sister's husband is… evil.

Both the eldest sister's matters and the second older sister's matters have a trace of him; especially the second older sister's and his affairs, Shang Yue has been meddling from within, never giving him a pleasant look, and yesterday he was still interfering with his good deeds.

"Rest assured, I am your older sister's husband; naturally I'll treat you well—I only have this one little brother-in-law, so if I don't treat you well, who would I treat well?"

Forcefully patting his shoulder with his palm.

This time, Shang Yue wasn't so lucky; his knees gave way and he knelt down directly.

"Plop."

This scene left Shang Hongxue somewhat dumbfounded.

"Oh dear, why are you kneeling? Your older sister's husband isn't a bad person; there's no need for this. Next time, don't do this—your older sister's husband can't take it."

They helped him up, and didn't forget to pat the dirt off his knees.

Shang Yue looked at the smiling, narrowed-eyed older sister's husband before him, feeling despair; his future life would be tragic.

"Older sister's husband, I might be tired from climbing the mountain."

Shang Yue could only force a smile, finding an excuse he himself didn't believe; if it were exposed, it would be troublesome.

The second older sister could only protect him temporarily, but not forever.

Besides, the second older sister might also side with the older sister's husband.

For his own future happy life, he could only endure.

One who can bend and stretch is a true man.

"Tired, let's do this—older sister's husband will treat you better today."

Next, Chen Chuyang sent a mental message to the older brother, asking Chen Chusheng to come up.

After Chen Chusheng came up, he nodded at Shang Yue; the two naturally knew each other, so exchanging greetings was normal.

"Younger brother, are you looking for me?"

"Older brother, this is my little brother-in-law Shang Yue, you know."

Chen Chusheng nodded: "Naturally I know; your little brother-in-law is my little brother-in-law—tell me, what should I do?"

The older brother was quite enlightened, understanding Chen Chuyang's meaning.

Chen Chuyang pointed at Shang Yue and said: "Like this, for the past few days I won't assign him any tasks; let him accompany you to reclaim land. After reclaiming, remember to tell him how to properly prepare the Spirit Field—you know how to do it."

"Him and me together? Can that work?"

Chen Chusheng seriously doubted Shang Yue—this Thus we have Xiao Pangzi, can he do that kind of work?

Reclaiming land involves more than just reclaiming; there are many tasks. A reclaimed Spirit Field still needs tidying and various work; to make the Spirit Field usable, the required work is considerable. Moreover, one cannot use true qi, relying only on physical strength to reclaim land, which increases the difficulty.

The land on Longshe Shan, after being nourished by spiritual energy, becomes very hard—nothing like the ordinary land outside. It's extremely hard; a hoe strike digs only a little—this is arduous work.

Ordinary people cannot do it.

"Shang Yue, can you do it?"

Shang Yue stood up and nodded: "I can, older sister's husband."

"Did you hear that, older brother? He can do it—take him and educate him thoroughly."

Chen Chusheng asked weakly: "How should we educate him?"

His meaning was obvious—can we use force?

Sometimes, saying more is useless; it's better to just use force.

If we get hands-on, within three days we'll guarantee obedience.

Chen Chuyang nodded with a smile: "Of course, older brother, you can do whatever you want—just don't beat him to death."

"Hahaha, no problem—since it's your order, I'll definitely get it done splendidly."

The elder brother patted his chest and promised, just right, he recently got itchy hands, wants to find someone to spar with.

No one on the mountain can spar with him; Liu Yuer and her daughter are too weak, besides, they are girls, not suitable for fighting.

Shang Hongxue need not even be mentioned; that is the younger brother's treasure, he dare not lay a hand on her.

Younger brother Chen Chuyang need not even be mentioned; Chen Chusheng is not stupid either, he certainly doesn't want to get beaten.

Getting beaten and fighting, he still distinguishes them clearly; if it's one-sided beating, sorry, he can't do that, and he wouldn't do it.
