Chapter 382: Sister Jianzhu, are you with child?

"Compared to when we last left, Pill Mountain hasn't changed much. Even those peaks that collapsed during the battle have all been repaired as if they were new."

"It was restored according to the Pill Sect's original appearance. It took quite a bit of effort, especially that great hall you sliced down, brother-in-law. It was only completely finished two months ago."

During a meal at the Heavenly Pivot Hall, as the full story of the millennium clans colluding to cause disaster was laid out, Danyangzi and Danxingzi left the table first.

Ji You walked out of the hall with the others, strolling all the way to the back mountain, and arrived at Yuan Caiwei's small bamboo building, facing the gentle spring breeze.

During this time, Hong Zhen and Wen Bin seemed displeased and found an excuse to leave without entering.

Only Yuan Bingqing followed into the courtyard, full of interest in the stories from her brother-in-law's mouth.

Pushing open the door to enter the courtyard, the four of them sat down at the stone table in the pavilion.

Yuan Caiwei went to instruct Xiao Yue to pour tea, while Yuanchen begged Ji You to make the story a bit more detailed.

This cheap brother-in-law had stayed on the mountain for a year; Ji You didn't even need to think to know how boring his life was. He was clearly stifled, so Ji You picked out some plot points he might like and described them in detail, making his brother-in-law so excited he almost wanted to go down the mountain to cultivate.

At this moment, Yuan Caiwei returned to the table with Xiao Yue, who had brewed the tea. She placed the cups down one by one and sat to the side, looking entirely obedient and virtuous.

Ji You told stories to Yuanchen while looking at Yuan Caiwei.

The daughter of the Pill Sect was also looking at him, and their cheeks flushed slightly as they met each other's gaze.

Seeing each other again, Yuan Caiwei felt a sense of trance, as if in a dream. Coupled with the long time apart, there was a sense of unfamiliarity amidst the intimacy.

Especially since Ji You was nominally her good sister's man, it made her feel even more shy, so she hadn't said much since they met.

"Brother-in-law, tell us more about tearing open the Heavenly Dao Sacrifice!"

Ji You came back to his senses and glanced at his cheap brother-in-law: "Let's talk about it tomorrow. My lips are about to crack; can you let me rest for a bit?"

"Then brother-in-law, go rest in my small building. It's very spacious there!" Yuanchen began to invite him enthusiastically.

"Go to your place?"

"Yeah, go there to rest. We can even read storybooks together at night!"

Ji You feigned composure and put down his teacup: "Just come find me tomorrow. I'm not going to run away."

Yuanchen grabbed his sleeve: "Tomorrow is still a whole night away. I dream of chatting with you all night long. You don't know, ever since you left the Pill Sect, I often dream of us discussing swords in the room at night!"

Why is this kid so stubborn? Ji You couldn't help but complain to himself.

Is reading storybooks more interesting than being with your sister? If you ask again, it won't be polite!

However, he also knew that his brother-in-law was trapped on the mountain all day and was very slow in his understanding of matters between men and women. Up to now, his mind was still set on playing, and he was completely clueless about this, having no realization that once his sister and brother-in-law were together, he would become a third wheel.

But he and Yuan Caiwei were not yet officially married, so it wasn't easy to say how long it had been since he last saw her, or that he wanted to speak with her alone. He could only pretend to be tired and unwilling to move.

Yuanchen didn't want to be rejected, so he held onto his sleeve and begged hard.

"Brother-in-law, go to my place. I also collected a set of paintings about 'Ascension in Broad Daylight'; they are drawn very well."

Yuanchen said this, putting forward a temptation he thought the other party couldn't resist, when suddenly he felt his back start to get cold, and the more he spoke, the colder it got.

Sensing something unusual, this Pill Sect direct disciple, whose mind was full of hot-blooded scenes, couldn't help but shiver and turn his head to look back.

Within his line of sight, Yuan Caiwei narrowed her eyes, her gaze very cold: "Your brother-in-law has already refused. Don't be rude, and don't force others."

The suppression originating from their bloodline instantly made Yuanchen shrink his head, a trace of fear flashing in his eyes.

I was the one who introduced brother-in-law; I was the one who came first!

Brother-in-law can read storybooks if he stays at my place; what can he do if he stays here with sister?

He muttered, but under the threat of his sister's menacing gaze, he still very obediently let go of Ji You's sleeve.

Seeing this scene, Yuan Caiwei gently shifted her gaze away and began to drink her tea obediently, holding the cup.

Yuan Bingqing took in the whole scene, knowing that Yuan Caiwei was looking forward to Ji You staying. She looked at the darkening sky, and her cheeks couldn't help but turn inexplicably pink: "That... it's getting late. Yuanchen, let's go back with Sister Qing."

"Sister Bingqing, brother-in-law just arrived. It's very impolite for everyone to leave after chatting for a few sentences." Yuanchen muttered.

Yuan Bingqing glanced at him, thinking to herself, 'Polite? Once your sister peels your skin off, you'll know what polite means.'

Sure enough, after hearing this, Yuan Caiwei couldn't help but speak softly: "Have you finished your cultivation for today?"

"Uh, fi... finished it."

"That's not right. When Young Master Ji came up the mountain, you hadn't finished your cultivation yet, and you ran out immediately after hearing the news. I allowed it only because I considered how long it had been since you saw your brother-in-law. Are you trying to lie to me?"

Yuanchen stiffened and couldn't help but look at Ji You: "Brother-in-law, I'll go back and finish today's cultivation first."

Ji You spoke calmly: "Good, cultivation is the most important thing."

"Then I'm leaving. Sister, don't bother brother-in-law too late. Remember to let brother-in-law rest well; don't tire him out. I'm coming to find him tomorrow!"

"?"

Yuanchen meant that he hoped his sister wouldn't keep holding onto his brother-in-law to chat, but the five words "don't tire him out" made Yuan Caiwei's cheeks flush instantly.

Yuan Bingqing's cheeks were also red, thinking that what followed would be the time for the sister and brother-in-law to be busy, and it definitely wouldn't be too early. Even if you, kid, give instructions, it's in vain.

"Sister occupies brother-in-law all day, but I was the one who painstakingly played matchmaker back then!"

"What does a child know? Having not seen each other for so long, of course there are things to be busy with..."

"What is so fun about men and women being together? I have never liked playing with my junior and senior sisters since I was little."

As an alchemist, Yuanchen understood the physiological structure of the human body very well, but he did not understand the sensory aspects.

Yu Bingqing thought to herself that there were plenty of fun things, but it was a pity that you, a little man, didn't quite understand.

I will come tomorrow before dawn!

Yuanchen said huffily, following Yu Bingqing all the way toward the front of the mountain.

However, as he walked, he suddenly saw a big, burly figure appearing sneakily on the mountain, looking left and right as if trying to find a way to the back mountain.

The slaughter previously carried out by the five great immortal sects against the Pill Sect was undoubtedly something every Pill Sect disciple found hard to forget, so they would all feel somewhat palpitated when seeing a strange figure.

And just as Yu Bingqing became suddenly vigilant and reached out to touch the Poison of Executing Immortals at her waist, Yuanchen's eyes suddenly lit up.

"Brother Gongshu!"

"Little Brother Yuan!"

Upon seeing each other and recognizing one another, both of them showed joy on their faces.

Back during the Heavenly Dao Assembly, in order to increase the "gold content" of Ji You and thereby increase his own, Gongshu Chou had once spent all day in the county city telling stories while masked, and the person who cheered him on the most at the time was Yuanchen.

It was also from that time that Yuanchen suddenly grasped the pleasure of listening to stories about his brother-in-law from a third-party perspective.

Great, there's another story to listen to tonight!

Great, I can collect material again!

Gongshu Chou had just seen Ji You and the Yuan siblings go to the back mountain and had tried to follow them but was stopped; he was very happy to see a subject he could interview.

The two were birds of a feather and hit it off immediately; they bid farewell to Yu Bingqing, who intended to go back, and quickly found a wind-sheltered cliff to whisper to each other.

"After your elder sister saw Ji You, she only said one sentence: 'Young Master is good'?"

"Right, that's exactly it. It wasn't intimate at all, not even as intimate as I am with my brother-in-law."

Gongshu Chou sat on a stone stool and pondered for a long while, then picked up his brush and wrote: "A gaze filled with deep affection, her eyes brimming with his figure as she softly called out, 'Young Master'."

Yuanchen watched from the side, his eyes narrowing involuntarily; he thought to himself that even though he hadn't seen it, it was as if he had seen it clearly—what a talent.

It was already the hour of Shen (3-5 PM) when they went up the mountain, and after chatting for a long time, the night had already flooded the mountains.

At that time, there was no one left in front of the stone table in the courtyard of the Pill Sect's daughter, and even the teacups had been cleared away, replaced by the lights in the small building gradually turning on.

"The thousand-year-old aristocratic families joined forces to cause disaster; was Sister Jianzhu injured?"

"Fortunately, Chu Xian died in time, and there was also help from an expert, so she was not injured, but the Spirit Sword Mountain was severely damaged; it is said that it is still being repaired even now."

On the footstool in front of the bed, as the sound of casual chatter rose, a pair of fair, tender feet curled up tightly, and the pink, delicate toes trembled slightly like joined jade beads.

Yuan Caiwei tentatively sat down, her eyes flickering with unbearable emotion, and finally, she bit her lip hard.
