Chapter 1555

Hu Xiaotian thought you were speaking lightly, but this kind of thing requires mutual consent. If I were to take advantage of the situation and do that to Tang Qingxuan, and word got out, I couldn't show my face. Others wouldn't know the details and would think I was taking advantage of her.

Thus: Hu Xiaotian thought, you say it lightly, but this kind of thing requires mutual consent; if I were to take advantage of this situation and do that to Tang Qingxuan, if it got out, I couldn't show my face; others wouldn't know the details and would think I was taking advantage of her vulnerability.

Make sure to keep all info.

Let's produce: Hu Xiaotian thought, you say it lightly, but this kind of thing requires mutual consent; if I were to take advantage of this situation and do that to Tang Qingxuan, if word got out, I couldn't show my face; others wouldn't know the details and would think I was taking advantage of her vulnerability.

We kept all clauses: Hu Xiaotian thought you were speaking lightly; this kind of thing requires mutual consent; if I were to take advantage of the situation and do that to Tang Qingxuan; if word got out, I couldn't show my face; others wouldn't know the details and would think I was taking advantage of her.

Ok.

Heaven really likes to play tricks on me. At first, to save Tang Qingxuan, I gave her my own blood to drink. Now it seems blood alone isn't enough; I also need essence! Did I owe Tang Qingxuan in my past life? I've become her medicine's catalyst, completely throwing myself into it.

Translate: Heaven really likes to joke with me; at first, to save Tang Qingxuan, I gave her my own blood to drink, but now it seems blood alone isn't enough—I also need essence! Did I owe Tang Qingxuan in my past life? I've become her medicine primer, completely throwing myself into it.

Check: completely throwing myself into it, or I've completely devoted myself.

At this moment, Qin Yutong also came out, and Wesa quietly withdrew, leaving the two of them to have a good talk.

Translate: At this moment, Qin Yutong also came out, and Wei Sa quietly withdrew, letting the two of them have a proper talk.

Qin Yutong said, "Sorry, I'm afraid I can't do anything about this. Actually, a person's fate isn't something we can control. You've already done your best; since we can't go against heaven's will, it's better to accept reality." She has always been that kind of person, neither elated by external things nor grieved by personal matters, calm and composed.

Translate: Qin Yutong said, "Sorry, I'm afraid I can't do anything about this. Actually, human fate isn't something we can control; you've already done your best, and since we can't defy heavenly decree, it's better to accept reality." She has always been that kind of person, neither elated by external things nor grieved by personal matters, a calm demeanor.

She has always been that kind of person, neither elated by external things nor grieved by personal matters, a calm demeanor.

But Hu Xiaotian suddenly said, "I actually can save her."

Translate: Hu Xiaotian, however, suddenly said, "Actually, I can save her."

Qin Yutong blinked her beautiful eyes, somewhat surprised, and asked, "Do you know the method of transferring internal energy?"

Translate: Qin Yutong blinked her beautiful eyes, somewhat surprised, and asked, "Do you know how to transmit energy?"

Hu Xiaotian nodded.

Translate: Hu Xiaotian nodded.

Qin Yutong furrowed her brows slightly, not without annoyance, and said, "You didn't say earlier, causing us all to worry."

Translate: Qin Yutong frowned slightly, not without reproach, and said, "You should have said earlier; you've made all of us worry for nothing."

Hu Xiaotian wryly smiled and said, "But my method of transferring internal energy is different from what you imagine; it requires having sex with her to pass the energy." He's shameless, bluntly saying that in front of Qin Yutong, an unmarried young lady.

Translate: Hu Xiaotian gave a wry smile and said, "But my method of transmitting energy is different from what you imagine; it requires sleeping with her to pass the internal energy." This guy's skin is thick enough—he actually said it outright in front of Qin Yutong, an unmarried young lady of the Ying family.

Thus: This guy's skin is thick enough—he actually said it outright in front of Qin Yutong, an unmarried young lady.

Qin Yutong's cheeks flushed, she lowered her gaze, avoiding Hu Xiaotian's eyes, and softly said, "How could there be such an evil martial art in the world?"

Translate: Qin Yutong's cheeks flushed, she lowered her gaze to avoid Hu Xiaotian's eyes, and whispered, "Where in the world is there such an evil martial art?"

Hu Xiaotian said, "This technique is called the 'Shooting Sun True Classic'; I happened to obtain it from a successor of the Falling Cherry Palace. Although I can save Miss Tang, I'm worried that after she recovers she'll accuse me of taking advantage of her."

Translate: Hu Xiaotian said, "This martial art is called the 'Shooting the Sun True Classic'; I happened to obtain it from a disciple of Falling Cherry Palace. Although I can save Tang Qingxuan, I'm worried that after she recovers she'll accuse me of taking advantage of her."

Note: This is a generic form of address meaning "Miss Tang"; we should translate it as such.

Thus we will translate "唐姑娘" as "Miss Tang". Similarly in other lines.

Thus line 11 translation: Hu Xiaotian said, "This martial art is called the 'Shooting the Sun True Classic'; I happened to obtain it from a disciple of Falling Cherry Palace. Although I can save Miss Tang, I'm worried that after she recovers she'll accuse me of taking advantage of her."

Qin Yutong said, "What does this have to do with me? Why bother telling me?"

Translate: Qin Yutong said, "What does this have to do with me? Why bother telling me?"

Hu Xiaotian saw her shy look, yet inexplicably felt a sense of pleasure. He noticed that the more flustered Qin Yutong became, the happier he felt. It seems he inherently resists her pride; whenever he gets a chance to crush her arrogant aloofness, he won't let it go easily—this mindset is quite abnormal. At this moment, Hu Xiaotian even imagined Qin Yutong writhing beneath him, submitting and enjoying herself. If he could conquer this ice‑cold beauty, what a satisfaction that would be.

Translate: Seeing her bashful appearance, Hu Xiaotian inexplicably felt a surge of pleasure; he noticed that the more flustered Qin Yutong became, the happier he felt. It seems he inherently resists her pride, and whenever he gets a chance to crush her arrogant aloofness, he won't let it go easily—this mindset is quite abnormal. At this moment, Hu Xiaotian even imagined Qin Yutong beneath him, submitting and indulging; if he could conquer this ice‑cold beauty, what a sense of satisfaction that would be.

We need to keep all clauses. Ensure we didn't add.

Qin Yutong steeled herself and looked again into Hu Xiaotian's eyes, but she saw an intense, aggressive fervor. Her heart trembled, her face grew hotter, and she could even guess his thoughts. Her watery eyes, after a moment of panic, returned to calm like water, and she coldly asked, "What do you want to do?"

Translate: Qin Yutong gathered her courage and met Hu Xiaotian's gaze again, but she saw an intense, aggressive fervor in his eyes; her heart trembled, her face grew hotter, and she could even guess his thoughts. Her watery eyes, after a moment of panic, returned to calm like water, and she coldly asked, "What do you want to do?"

Hu Xiaotian saw Qin Yutong suddenly calm down. He then realized that at this moment, the most important thing is to save a person, not to indulge in wild thoughts. He took a deep breath and said, "You should know what kind of person I am."

Translate: Hu Xiaotian saw Qin Yutong suddenly calm down. Only then did he realize that, at this moment, the most important thing is to save a life, not to indulge in wild thoughts. He took a deep breath and said, "You should know what kind of person I am."

Qin Yutong said meaningfully, "Of course I know."

Translate: Qin Yutong said meaningfully, "Of course I know."

Hu Xiaotian said, "Although I'm not a gentleman, I also wouldn't do something that takes advantage of someone's vulnerability or forces them against their will. Why don't you wake Miss Tang? Explain the situation to her clearly; if she agrees, I wouldn't mind sacrificing a bit of myself. If she doesn't, just forget I ever said anything."

Translate: Hu Xiaotian said, "Although I'm not a gentleman, I also won't do something that takes advantage of someone's predicament or forces them. Why don't you wake Miss Tang? You explain the situation to her clearly; if she agrees, I don't mind sacrificing a bit of myself, but if she refuses, then let's pretend I never said anything."

Qin Yutong also felt embarrassed. Why does Hu Xiaotian want me to say this? How can a girl bring up such a topic? He's really a jerk—he's just using the opportunity to deliberately make things difficult for me. Out of nowhere, I felt annoyed and snorted, "If you want to save her, why don't you say it yourself? Why come to me?"

Translate: Qin Yutong also felt embarrassed—why should Hu Xiaotian make her say this? How could a girl bring up such a topic? Hu Xiaotian is really a jerk; he's just using the opportunity to deliberately make things difficult for her. For no reason she felt annoyed, snorted, and said, "If you want to save a person, why don't you say it yourself? Why involve me?"

Hu Xiaotian said, "You know that Tang Qingxuan has always had some prejudices against me. I'm worried she'll misunderstand me."

Translate: Hu Xiaotian said, "You also know that Tang Qingxuan has always held some prejudice against me; I'm worried she'll misunderstand me."

Qin Yutong said, "You're worried about having to take responsibility, aren't you?"

Translate: Qin Yutong said, "You're worried about having to take responsibility, aren't you?"

Hu Xiaotian said, "Besides, this matter needs someone to vouch for it. After thinking it over, you're the best choice. If she agrees, I'll step in to save her, and the credit will go to you." Saying this, he felt a bit embarrassed—saving her? What exactly would be deployed? Everyone understands what's meant.

Translate: Hu Xiaotian added, "Besides, this matter needs someone to vouch for it; after thinking it over, you're the best choice. If she agrees, I'll intervene to save her, and the credit will go to you." Saying this, he felt a little embarrassed—saving someone? Deploying what? Everyone understands what's really going on.

Qin Yutong didn't answer him and turned to walk back into the room.

Translate: Qin Yutong didn't even answer him; she turned and walked back into the room.

Not long after, Qin Yutong came out with others, and she said, "Miss Tang has woken up and wants to see you alone."

Translate: Not long after, Qin Yutong came out accompanied by others, and said, "Miss Tang has awakened; she wants to see you alone."

Hu Xiaotian looked toward Long Xi Yue, who gave him a nod. He secretly sighed, thinking that aside from Wesa and Qin Yutong, no one else should know what's really going to happen here.

Translate: Hu Xiaotian glanced at Long Xi Yue, who nodded at him; Hu Xiaotian silently sighed, thinking that aside from Wei Sa and Qin Yutong, no one else here probably knows what's really going to happen.

Actually, Hu Xiaotian doesn't want to do this under these circumstances either. Although he doesn't deny that Tang Qingxuan is attractive and has a fiery figure, and she's deeply devoted to him, doing this under such conditions feels uncomfortable, almost like he's being forced. But if he doesn't help, Tang Qingxuan would surely die. If she had to choose between death and him, even a fool would pick him, especially since he's so outstanding.

Translate: Actually, Hu Xiaotian also doesn't want to do this under these circumstances; although he doesn't deny that Tang Qingxuan is attractive, has a hot figure, and is deeply devoted to him, doing this under such conditions feels uncomfortable, somewhat forced. But if he doesn't help, wouldn't Tang Qingxuan die? If she had to choose between death and him, even a fool would pick him, and besides, he's quite outstanding.

Hu Xiaotian is usually very confident, but he never expected Tang Qingxuan to refuse. Once she woke up, she quickly realized how Hu Xiaotian would transfer his internal energy to her. Her face flushed crimson, her breathing grew rapid, she bit her lip, couldn't meet his gaze, and after a while whispered, "No! I'd rather die."

Translate: Hu Xiaotian is usually very confident most of the time, but he never expected Tang Qingxuan to refuse. After waking up, Tang Qingxuan quickly figured out how Hu Xiaotian would transmit energy to her; her face flushed crimson, her breathing became rapid, she bit her lip, dared not look at Hu Xiaotian, and after a while whispered, "No way! I'd rather die."

Note: "鬍小天" is a typo; we treat as Hu Xiaotian.

Hu Xiaotian thought he had misheard—could there really be a woman who'd rather die than be saved by him? Although Tang Qingxuan is pretty, she's not very bright; he thought she was just being shy as a maiden, and murmured, "Actually, I don't want to do this either……"

Translate: Hu Xiaotian thought he had misheard—could there really be a woman who would rather die than let him save her? Tang Qingxuan, though pretty, is not very bright; Hu Xiaotian assumed it was just a maiden's reserve, and murmured, "Actually, I don't want to do this either..."

Tang Qingxuan hearing this felt a bit disappointed, lowered her head further, and softly said, "Sir Hu, you've already done enough for me. My heart is filled with gratitude; I have nothing to repay you with. In my next life I wish to serve you as a dog or horse to repay your kindness, so you don't need to force yourself."

Translate: Upon hearing him say that, Tang Qingxuan felt a bit disappointed, lowered her head further, and whispered, "Young Master Hu, you've already done enough for me; my heart is filled with gratitude, I have nothing to repay, in my next life I wish to be a dog or horse to return your kindness—you don't need to force yourself."

Hu Xiaotian then realized that his offhand remark had hurt her self-esteem, and he wryly said, "I didn't mean it that way; I do have feelings, but I certainly don't want to take advantage of her vulnerability."

Translate: Only then did Hu Xiaotian realize that his offhand remark had again hurt her self‑esteem; he gave a wry smile and said, "I didn't mean it that way; I do want to, but I certainly don't want to take advantage of her predicament."

When Tang Qingxuan heard him say those three words—'I also want'—she felt even more embarrassed, gathered her courage, lifted her head, and with her beautiful eyes fixed on him asked, "You… you mean… you also have a place for me in your heart?"

Translate: When Tang Qingxuan heard him say those three words "I also want to," she felt even more embarrassed, gathered her courage, lifted her head, and with her beautiful eyes fixed on him asked, "You… you mean… you also have a place for me in your heart?"

Hu Xiaotian nodded.

Translate: Hu Xiaotian nodded.

Tang Qingxuan, however, burst into tears because of his gesture, sobbing, "Even though I know you're lying, just being alive enough to hear this would satisfy my heart."

Translate: Tang Qingxuan, however, burst into tears because of his gesture, sobbing, "Although I know you're lying to me, just being able to hear you say that while alive would already satisfy my heart."

Hu Xiaotian thought to himself, I haven't even said or done anything, and yet you're satisfied! Actually, Tang Qingxuan's change is huge—when we first met she was incredibly willful, wishing she could crush her own bones and scatter her ashes, yet now she's suddenly become utterly devoted. Is it because I'm too charming, or has the world changed so fast? Hu Xiaotian can't figure it out.

Translate: Hu Xiaotian thought, I haven't even said or done anything yet, and you're already satisfied! Actually, Tang Qingxuan's change is huge—when we first met she was incredibly willful, wishing to crush my bones and scatter my ashes; now she's suddenly become utterly devoted. Is it because I'm too charming, or has the world changed too fast? Hu Xiaotian can't figure it out.

Tang Qingxuan said, "I can't let down my older sister."

Translate: Tang Qingxuan said, "I can't let down my older sister."

Hu Xiaotian said, "She actually also wants you to live well; she only has you as her best friend in this world, and if you died she would certainly be heartbroken."

Translate: Hu Xiaotian said, "She actually wants you to live well too; in this world, you're her only best friend—if you died, she'd surely be heartbroken."

Tang Qingxuan felt a shift in her heart, she bit her lip and said, "But if she finds out about us… how will I ever face her again?"

Translate: Tang Qingxuan's heart seemed to loosen a bit; she bit her cherry lip and said, "But if she finds out about us… how am I supposed to face her afterward?"

Hu Xiaotian said: "We can keep it hidden for now, and tell her when the opportunity is right."

Translate: Hu Xiaotian said, "We can keep it secret for now and tell her when the opportunity is right."

Tang Qingxuan shook her head and said: "I cannot deceive my sister."

Translate: Tang Qingxuan shook her head and said, "I can't deceive my older sister."

Hu Xiaotian said: "If you don't want to, I can explain everything to her first."

Translate: Hu Xiaotian said, "If you don't want to, I can explain everything to her first."

"No!" Tang Qingxuan grabbed Hu Xiaotian's arm again.

Translate: "No!" Tang Qingxuan grabbed Hu Xiaotian's arm again.

Hu Xiaotian turned to look at her.

Translate: Hu Xiaotian turned to face her.

Tang Qingxuan couldn't even look at him; after finally mustering her resolve, she said: "You must promise me that this matter will never be revealed to anyone else."

Translate: Tang Qingxuan basically dared not look at him; after mustering her courage, she declared, "You must promise me that this matter will never be known to anyone else."

Hu Xiaotian said: "We might fool others, but we can't fool Qin Yutong; however, she probably won't tell anyone else, and will just say she saved you."

Translate: Hu Xiaotian said, "We can hide it from others, but not from Qin Yutong; however, she probably won't tell anyone else—she'll just say she was the one who saved you."

Tang Qingxuan stopped speaking; deep down she had already accepted Hu Xiaotian's suggestion. Even if he weren't doing this to save her life, she would willingly surrender herself to him, but she felt it would be a betrayal of Long Xi Yue, and she couldn't overcome that feeling.

Translate: Tang Qingxuan fell silent; in fact, she had already come to agree with Hu Xiaotian's proposal—even if Hu Xiaotian weren't trying to save her life, she would willingly give herself to him—but she feels that doing so would be an affront to Long Xi Yue, a hurdle she can't get past in her heart.

Hu Xiaotian said: "Let me make one thing clear—I have no intention of taking advantage of the situation."

Translate: Hu Xiaotian said, "There's something I should make clear first: I absolutely have no intention of profiteering from the chaos."

Tang Qingxuan said: "I know you're not that kind of person, and you can relax—I… I won't cling to you." As she spoke, she felt she had let go of all her reservations, standing before Hu Xiaotian as if stripped bare.

Translate: Tang Qingxuan said, "I know you're not that kind of person; you can relax—I… I won't cling to you." Saying this, she felt as if she had let go of all her reserve, standing before Hu Xiaotian as if stripped bare.

Hu Xiaotian said: "Then let's begin."

Translate: Hu Xiaotian said, "Well then, let's begin."

Tang Qingxuan gave a faint hum, like a mosquito's buzz, so quiet she could barely hear herself.

Translate: Tang Qingxuan hummed softly, her voice like a mosquito's buzz—she could hardly hear herself.

Hu Xiaotian said: "This martial art is called the 'Shooting the Sun True Classic.' I will teach you the cultivation method; you must remember it well and never let your mind wander."

Translate: Hu Xiaotian said, "This martial art is called the 'Shooting the Sun True Classic'; I'll teach you the cultivation method—you must remember it well and absolutely not let your mind wander."

Tang Qingxuan asked: "Will it hurt a lot?"

Translate: Tang Qingxuan asked, "Will it hurt a lot?"

Hu Xiaotian widened his eyes; the question caught him off guard. Tang Qingxuan lowered her head and whispered softly: "I've heard that the first time is very painful…"

Translate: Hu Xiaotian widened his eyes—this question came rather suddenly for him. Tang Qingxuan lowered her head and whispered, "I've heard people say the first time is usually painful..."

Seeing her shy, embarrassed expression, Hu Xiaotian felt a warm surge in his lower abdomen: "Actually, some kinds of pain can also be pleasurable…"

Translate: Seeing her bashful, embarrassed appearance, Hu Xiaotian felt a heat surge in his lower abdomen: "Actually, some kinds of pain can also be quite pleasurable..."

Qin Yutong stood in the courtyard, head lifted, gazing at the sky. She didn't know when the sunlight had been blocked by clouds; looking up she could see the sky, but looking down she couldn't see her own shadow. She herself wasn't sure what role she was playing, telling everyone she was inside healing Tang Qingxuan's wounds—but what was the truth? Indeed she was healing wounds, but the one actually healing Tang Qingxuan wasn't herself. Faint sounds drifted from the room, subdued yet still reaching Qin Yutong's ears. She walked a few steps forward, trying to get away from the room, but the voice was charged with a seductive power, seeping into her ears, impossible to shut out.

Translate: Qin Yutong stood in the courtyard, head raised to gaze at the sky; she didn't know when the sunlight had been blocked by clouds—she could see the sky when looking up, but when lowering her head she couldn't see her own silhouette. Even she herself didn't know what role she was playing; she told everyone she was in there healing Tang Qingxuan's wounds, but what was the reality? Indeed she was healing wounds, but the person actually healing Tang Qingxuan wasn't herself; faint sounds leaked from the room, muffled yet still reaching Qin Yutong's ears. She took a few steps forward, wanting to stay away from the room, but the voice was full of allure, seeping into her ears through every opening.

Qin Yutong's cheeks flushed; she could guess what they were doing. She wanted to flee, but if she walked out of the courtyard, others would surely become suspicious. "Hu Xiaotian, you bastard! Why did you drag me into covering for you? Why would you impart your martial arts in such a shameless, lewd way?"

Translate: Qin Yutong's cheeks flushed; she could guess what they were doing. She wanted to flee, but if she walked out of the courtyard, others would surely suspect something. "Hu Xiaotian, Hu Xiaotian, you jerk—why did you drag me into covering for you? Why is transmitting energy to someone done in such a shameless, vulgar way?"
