Chapter 55: Little Sister's Misunderstanding, Trouble Rises Again

Chuyang brother, my father seems to be buying a third-grade spiritual medicine recently; when the time comes, I'll steal it for you.

Cough cough cough, it's taking, not stealing; a daughter taking her father's things, how could that be called stealing? Chen Chuyang corrected Shang Hongxue's wording.

That's not right; who says a daughter is a thief?

Shang Hongxue looked at Chen Chuyang with wide eyes, gave a thumbs-up: "Still, Chuyang brother, you're amazing."

Put another way, it's different; stealing and taking can't be the same.

What kind of third-grade spiritual medicine?

Shang Hongxue thought for a moment, shook her head: "I don't know; Father didn't say the details. When the time comes, I'll bring it up the mountain for you. Anyway, even if Father buys it, it's useless to him; better to give it to Chuyang brother."

Cough cough, if Father finds out, will he be angry?

No, Father dotes on me the most; it's just my older sister maybe…" Shang Hongxue said worriedly: "But Chuyang brother, you don't need to worry; if anything happens, I'll take full responsibility."

What a good little girl; it's not wasted on Chen Chuyang treating her so well.

Saying that, Shang Hongxue secretly took out some spiritual medicine seeds and handed them to Chen Chuyang.

She lowered her voice and said: "Chuyang brother, these are all I took from home; Father doesn't know, you must keep them safe, don't let Father discover them."

Chen Chuyang looked and saw many good things; they were all first- and second-grade spiritual medicine seeds. He never expected Shang Yingnian to have stored so many spiritual medicine seeds. If it were something else, Chen Chuyang might have hesitated a bit, but for spiritual medicine seeds he wouldn't be polite; he accepted them all—this is Shang Hongxue's filial gesture toward him.

He really hadn't seen Shang Hongxue before; she's a girl with potential.

Chuyang brother, do you still want more? My father still has plenty; next time I'll bring them all for you.

Anyway, Father leaving them unused is just waste.

Although that's not wrong, you've already taken them over, haven't you?

Cough cough, be careful, don't get discovered.

It's fine; Father won't punish me, at worst I'll treat him better.

Hearing that, Chen Chuyang gave a thumbs-up; truly a thoughtful little padded jacket—look, he's already started moving things outward.

Every time this girl goes up the mountain, she can bring some good things.

The spiritual medicine seeds are the most; all are given to Chen Chuyang to cultivate.

Most of those spiritual medicines are used on her.

Chen Chuyang didn't gain anything, but once he has the seeds, as long as he can cultivate them, he can keep planting and expand the planting area.

This batch of spiritual medicine seeds is the same; just wait for the herbs to mature, harvest the seeds, and continue planting.

This step is difficult for others.

Chen Chuyang is professional; he won't make mistakes.

If it's third-grade spiritual medicine, perhaps…

On Longshe Shan, there aren't many third-grade spiritual medicines; Chen Chuyang also wants to increase some.

You, you still need to be careful.

It's fine; as long as my older sister doesn't know, it's okay.

Within the Shang Clan, only the older sister Shang Hongchen would punish her; others wouldn't bear to punish her.

Especially her father, who dotes on her so much he can't bear to punish her.

Chen Chuyang naturally knows Shang Hongxue's status in the Shang Clan; it's… very high, something Chen Chuyang can't compare to.

Her parents protect her, her older sister protects her, her younger brother protects her; the whole family shields Shang Hongxue.

Thanks to Shang Yingnian's education and personal example, even if others in the Shang Clan would target her, they wouldn't dare.

Shang Hongchen is overly dominant; in the whole Shang Clan, few dare to defy her.

Here you go.

Chuyang brother, is this for me?

Shang Hongxue looked at the hairpin and gauze before her, eyes bright; the two beautiful spiritual artifacts emitted an extraordinary light.

Beautiful beyond compare.

Chen Chuyang, after careful consideration, handed them to her; they were his mother's, to be slowly refined later.

Both spiritual artifacts are defensive; Shang Hongxue's strength is the weakest, making her an easy target.

With two spiritual artifacts protecting her, many dangers can be avoided.

Yes, this is the Flowing Water Hairpin; upon danger, it can condense flowing water to protect you.

This is the Azure Wave Gauze; like the Flowing Water Hairpin, the two are interconnected and reflect each other; once danger strikes, both spiritual artifacts will protect you simultaneously, and even Condensed Pellet cannot kill you in a short time.

The power of spiritual artifacts is still strong.

At least, they can protect her completely.

These two spiritual artifacts form a set, to be used together.

They can resist Condensed Pellet attacks; even a True Gang Practitioner cannot break the defense.

Condensed Pellet attacks can also be resisted for a period; they should hold for half an hour.

This is only a preliminary estimate; Chen Chuyang has tested it, but because his strength is relatively strong, some data may not be accurate.

The specifics will have to be discussed when the situation arises.

"Spiritual artifacts?" Shang Hongxue's eyes lit up; she directly took hold of the two spiritual artifacts.

Thoughtful protection, her eyes fixed on the two spiritual artifacts, she couldn't bear to look away.

She loved these two spiritual artifacts too much; they were also… very beautiful, mainly because this was the first time Chuyang brother gave her a gift.

The first time.

A love token?

Unable to help herself, she gripped the two spiritual artifacts even tighter.

No matter what, as long as it's a gift from Chuyang brother, she likes it.

"Yes, it's the Spiritual Artifact, this matter, you must not speak of it."

"Who shouldn't be told?"

"Yes, you just need to know it yourself."

"I understand, Brother Chuyang."

"The little girl had Chen Chuyang help her put it on, and Chen Chuyang still helped her put it on."

"She became even happier, excitedly jumping up, hopping about."

"Finally, the girl lay directly in Chen Chuyang's arms."

"Both arms wrapped around Chen Chuyang."

"Chen Chuyang was startled by the sudden scene, did not refuse, and looked at Shang Hongxue indulgently."

"He raised his hand and stroked her head."

"Alright, someone is going up the mountain."

"Shang Hongxue refused to let go, holding on like this; she was too happy, too excited, too thrilled."

"Chen Chuyang reminded her, but she was also unwilling to let go."

"The sound grew nearer, and Chen Chuyang coughed."

"Only then did Shang Hongxue loosen her grip, then turned her back to Chen Chuyang; her breathing disordered, she dared not face Chen Chuyang."

"On the road below the mountain, another figure appeared."

"A familiar figure."

"Younger sister Chen Churan has come again."

"However, her arrival at this time is very strange."

"At least Chen Chuyang feels it's strange; going up the mountain at night is indeed dangerous."

"Chen Churan came before Chen Chuyang, her eyes falling on Shang Hongxue."

"In the evening, a man and a woman, both are vigorous young people."

"A single man and a single woman, staying together on the mountain."

"His eyes involuntarily narrowed, continually scanning the two."

"Second Brother, why is Miss Shang Hongxue also here?"

"His gaze, moreover, fell on Shang Hongxue."

"Girl, you are very off."

"Shang Hongxue lowered her head, recognizing the woman before her—Chen Chuyang's younger sister—who, coming up the mountain at this time, still stared at her, feeling rather… embarrassed."

"Her face turned red; she dared not meet his gaze, nor dare to speak."

"Chen Chuyang did not answer, but countered: 'How come you came at this time?'"

"'Is it not allowed?' Chen Churan retorted."

"His eyes narrowed, he was somewhat angry."

"The brother's tone was off; he did not want her to go up the mountain, so Chen Churan all the more wanted to stay here."

"She wanted to see what these two were doing; could it not be what she imagined?"
