She sat down quietly at the table. \"Brother-in-law isn’t up yet?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiaodie nodded softly. \"Perhaps he’s tired from all the walking at Guiyun Academy yesterday. I checked on him this morning, and he was still fast asleep.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pei Guanli murmured an \"oh.\" After greeting Xiao Wuge, she picked up her breakfast from the table and began to eat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was a true native of Shu State and loved spicy food.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Back when she lived on Wumeng Mountain, her breakfast would be chili peppers and steamed cornbread, and she could eat several of them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sometimes, when the clan ran out of fine and coarse flour, they would make wild vegetable soup, and she would still cover her entire bowl with chilis.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whenever she finished eating, her fair, round face would be flushed bright red, which was why the people of the Mountain Race called her \"Hong Mei’er.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Wuge, who was in the middle of eating his porridge, saw this and couldn’t help but ask, \"Sister Guanli, is plain porridge with chilis any good?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s delicious.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As she spoke, Pei Guanli scooped a spoonful of chilis into his bowl. \"Try it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Wuge hesitated for a moment, then stirred his bowl a couple of times with his spoon and took a sip.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An intense spiciness immediately flooded his mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Spicy! So spicy! Water, water, water! HSSS... HAH... HSSS...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Wuge’s little face visibly reddened, and he grimaced, motioning for Xiaodie to get him a glass of water.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At a time like this, Xiaodie knew better than to give him plain water. After a quick look around, she opened a bottle of Wangji Tea and handed it to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Wuge took it and gulped down a couple of mouthfuls, and only then did his mouth begin to feel better.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing his reaction, Pei Guanli burst into carefree laughter, winking as she did so.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your face is red now, too. From now on, I’ll call you Brother Hong.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That way, the Mountain Race would have its \"Hong Mei’er,\" and the Dingyuan Marquis’s Mansion would have its \"Brother Hong.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Wuge didn’t mind the nickname. His face was still scrunched up. \"It’s so spicy, Sister Guanli. Doesn’t it bother you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course not. I’ve been eating like this since I was a kid.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Pei Guanli spoke, her eyes landed on the Wangji Tea in his hand. She thought for a moment before saying:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This drink seems to be all the rage in the city lately. I’ve seen lots of people carrying it around the past few days.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Wuge subconsciously took another sip before replying, \"The Medicine Hall that Brother-in-law manages sells it. It’s made by Hundred Herbs Hall.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He gave a whole grown-up-sounding explanation, but Pei Guanli barely registered it. The only two words that stuck were \"tastes good.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let me try some too.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’ll go get some.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiaodie ran to the storeroom and returned carrying two porcelain bottles. \"One is Wangji Tea, same as what Young Master Wuge has, and the other is Mushroom Tea.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Which one do you want?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After asking, she added, \"The master said the Mushroom Tea is more suitable for women.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The mushroom one.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pei Guanli took it, eagerly opened it, and took a sip. Her eyes immediately lit up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s sweet and sour! This is delicious!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Back with my clan, I especially loved eating the wild peaches from the mountains. This tastes pretty similar.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before long, she had finished the entire bottle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She wanted to ask for another bottle, but seeing it was getting late, she had no choice but to wipe her mouth clean and run toward Jiaxing Garden.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’ll buy a few more bottles to drink next time I’m out on the streets.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching her dash off in a flurry, Xiao Wuge put on an adult-like expression and remarked:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sister Guanli is so valiant.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiaodie couldn’t help but laugh. \"’Valiant’ is a word used to describe men or soldiers.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If she were to join the army, I imagine she would still be... a bit lacking compared to Second Sister.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After they finished breakfast, seeing that Chen Yi still hadn’t gotten up, Xiao Wuge had Xiaodie take him to Jiaxing Garden.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After spending so much time with him, they all knew Chen Yi’s habits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Occasionally, when he had nothing important to do, he would sleep until the sun was high in the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once Spring Lotus Garden had fallen completely silent,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Yi, inside his room, let out a long breath. He slowly concluded his cultivation, rose to his feet, and looked out the window.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sunlight was perfect. Spring Lotus Garden was awash in verdant green, and as the pond’s surface rippled, a few Golden Carp would occasionally leap from the water.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some of the resulting splashes landed back on the surface, creating new ripples. Others struck a few birds drinking at the pond’s edge, causing them to fly off with a flurry of chirps.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, someone had swept the garden clean of fallen leaves and petals, making it look all the more fresh and natural.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Yi’s spirits lifted as he took in the scene.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Clear skies after the rain. That’s a good omen.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, this tranquil and comfortable state of mind vanished the moment he finished dressing and arrived at the Purple Bamboo Forest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Yi calmed his mind, planted his feet firmly, and began to practice the Big Spear Pile Skill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although the Power he gained from the Pile Skill was now minuscule, it was still an excellent way to activate his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His muscles, bones, skin, and flesh—his entire physical form, down to every strand of hair—could be controlled using the Black Tortoise Concealment Technique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「About half an hour later.」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Yi concluded his Pile Skill practice and, taking advantage of the surging Blood Qi and Power, switched to practicing the Mountain Shattering Fist and the Hundred Flowers Palm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One was fierce and powerful, the other nimble and fluid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though they were two completely different styles of Fist Technique and Palm Technique, complete with their own Step Techniques, he executed them with a seamless, natural grace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They possessed a far greater depth and rhythm than before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This newfound rhythm was nothing other than the enhancement from his Mental Realm, a benefit of achieving the Great Success stage in his Martial Arts Fist.\u003C\u002Fp>",1184,"2026-05-30T04:08:05.489Z","2026-06-01T04:30:16.742Z",1,"novelbin.me","70d028faefbb4120cae7a1ae723416c4ae04a9a781fa6c49858aaf21464d4661","you-promised-to-be-an-idle-son-in-law-how-could--chapter-139","you-promised-to-be-an-idle-son-in-law-how-could--chapter-137",225,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fyou-promised-to-be-an-idle-son-in-law-how-could--cover.jpg"]
