Banshee Family Training Record

Page 123

The little girl realized that her little scheme had been seen through. She pursed her lips, then suddenly seemed to have made up her mind, and nodded vigorously: "Yes!"

After saying that, she took another piece, but this time she changed her offensive strategy and targeted Yan Yao's pieces, starting to surround and intercept them.

Yan Yao wasn't very serious at first, and kept glancing at Yun Chu'an with great joy. But soon she felt the pressure, her little face tightened, and she played chess with the little snake demon, attacking and killing each other.

The two were so engrossed in the game that they completely ignored Yun Chu'an beside them. A smile involuntarily appeared on the latter's lips as he watched them play so earnestly, which made him even more relaxed.

Gomoku (Five in a Row) isn't very complex, and the outcome was quickly decided. Even though Sui Sui, playing black, made a fierce comeback in the second half, she had given too much leeway in the first half and ultimately couldn't turn the tide, losing the game.

After losing the round by skill, the girl looked up at him pitifully and said, "Godfather..."

There was a hint of grievance in her voice, but Yun Chu'an did not blame her.

Instead, he reached out and touched her head, gently stroking her soft hair for the first time with a tender touch: "It's okay, just leave it like this from now on, you don't need to give in to her."

After saying this, he gently patted her shoulder: "You guys continue having fun, I have other things to do, I'll be going now."

He made no promises or commitments, yet those simple words made the girl's eyes light up, and she was greatly encouraged: "Yes!"

She was excited, as if her future had suddenly turned from gloomy to bright, and her situation here was about to greatly improve.

Yan Yao raised her head slightly. The little girl looked at her playmate across the table and seemed to sense the other's joyful mood, so she also became joyful.

She turned her head to look at Yun Chuan, squinting her eyes. Through the haze, she saw a purple aura swirling above his head.

Cyan and a peach-blossom-like pink swirled around the purple aura, and even though it was only for a brief moment, she still caught a glimpse of it.

The girl paused for a moment, puzzled, but following her instincts, she suddenly said, "You'll have good luck soon."

Yun Chu'an was taken aback: "Me?"

"Yes." Yan Yao nodded gently, his tone leaving no room for doubt. "You'll definitely have good luck."

Yun Chu'an smiled, not thinking anything of it. He reached out and gently patted her head: "Okay, thank you for Yan Yao's blessing."

He didn't seem to mind. After saying all that, he gently pinched her little nose, patted her shoulder, and gestured for her to go play by herself. Yan Yao and the little snake demon continued playing chess together, while he turned around and headed straight for Huai Mountain, to Zhu Yunqing's cave.

He moved quickly, arriving in less than ten minutes. Zhu Yunqing was already waiting for him there. Upon seeing him, the spider demon nodded slightly: "Ready?"

Yun Chu'an said confidently, "Okay, let's go."

Zhu Yunqing didn't say much, but her eyes were filled with anticipation. Her feelings were quietly changing. After her trust in him turned into "admiration," she had been uncontrollably looking forward to seeing him every day.

She didn't need to do anything extra; just looking at him like this made her feel incredibly happy.

Not to mention, she'll soon see him striving for improvement, see his naked body, and see his dependence on her.

Zhu Yunqing felt content whenever she thought that he still had to rely on her.

Without saying much, she turned and led him back to the vicinity of the icy pool. This was his fourth attempt at the icy pool. Having learned from his previous three failures, Yun Chu'an was better prepared and more confident this time.

He swiftly unbuttoned his clothes, silently chanted an incantation, and jumped into the icy pool. The biting cold assaulted his skin, but he was all too familiar with it. He immediately and skillfully began breathing exercises and meditation, circulating his internal energy to resist the chill.

Subtle spiritual energy coursed through his meridians, but his muscles and skin were quickly frozen solid. The forces of cold and warmth clashed on his body, each unable to overcome the other.

With minimal consumption of spiritual energy, he withstood the biting cold, keeping his internal organs as stable as Mount Tai.

This fragile balance is like trying to keep a stubborn rock standing on a steel needle without it collapsing.

This seems like an absolutely impossible thing, yet Yun Chuan is currently controlling such an absurd balance and trying to maintain it for more than four hours, eight hours!

This request seemed outrageous, but at this moment he felt no worry, only a calm tranquility. Through careful calculation, the spiritual energy he inhaled and exhaled reached a delicate balance with his expenditure. He had a premonition that he could endure it for twenty-four hours, let alone eight!

even……

He suddenly opened his eyes and looked at Zhu Yunqing, who was sitting on the shore waiting for him: "Fourth Sister."

He called out, and the spider spirit, who had been quietly weaving white silk threads, immediately turned her gaze over: "Hmm?"

“Continue teaching me the ‘Dragon Binding Rope’!” He revealed an eager smile, which surprised Zhu Yunqing even more: “You want to multitask?”

Yun Chu'an laughed: "Otherwise, just soaking in there would be a waste of time."

Zhu Yunqing smiled, her eyes filled with a hint of doting affection as she looked at him. His excellence always exceeded her expectations, bringing her surprises and making her like him even more.

She put away what she was doing, stood up, walked to him, and squatted down: "Very well, multitasking is one of the compulsory courses for Foundation Establishment cultivators. Since you want to learn, then..."

Before she finished speaking, her expression suddenly changed slightly. Her beautiful brows furrowed, and she clutched her chest, as if in great pain.

Yun Chu'an, who had been relaxed, immediately changed his expression upon seeing her reaction. Forgetting everything else, he quickly jumped out of the cold pool, stood beside her, and reached out to support her: "Fourth Sister, what's wrong, Fourth Sister?"

He was still naked, completely unclothed, but at this moment, neither of them cared about anything else. Zhu Yunqing's face was ashen, her lips devoid of any color: "The old wound has flared up again..."

Yun Chu'an's expression changed drastically. He took out a simple robe from his storage bag, wrapped it around himself, and then scooped up Zhu Yunqing's body, rushing towards her cave: "Fourth Sister, hold on! I'll go get Meng Shen right away. She's been using fire ox horns to make medicine these past few days, and it should be ready soon!"

In a few words, he used his teleportation ability to traverse hundreds of meters and returned to the entrance of her cave. Then, he strode forward, passing through layers of thick, enormous spider webs, and laid her flat on her stone bed.

However, Zhu Yunqing reached out and grabbed him: "It's no use. That thing is beneficial for cultivation, but it's not for my symptoms."

She shook her head, her voice filled with sorrow: "These are scars left by the erosion of the Yin-cold power of the Golden Core stage. To remove them, only a cultivator above the Golden Core stage can do it."

Yun Chu'an looked anxious: "Then, Fourth Sister, even so, if you use those things and your cultivation breaks through, won't you be able to last longer?"

Zhu Yunqing shook his head slightly: "I can't break through. That cold, dark force is entrenched in my heart. I can't expel or eliminate it, so I can't reach a higher realm."

"Giving it to me would be a complete waste."

Yun Chu'an held her hand, feeling his body and mind trembling. Zhu Yunqing looked at his nervous appearance and suddenly smiled, saying softly, "You don't need to worry too much. Your eldest sister is also preparing to break through to the Golden Core stage. We have obtained so many resources on this trip. As long as she breaks through, your fourth sister's difficulties will be easily resolved."

Chapter 275 Wedding Ceremony (A long chapter of 5,000 words)

The spider demon tried to comfort him, but Yun Chu'an frowned, still worried: "What if she can't break through soon?"

"Fourth Sister, you're clearly ready to break through to the mid-Foundation Establishment stage, aren't you? Are you just going to keep waiting like this?"

Zhu Yunqing was slightly taken aback, and her heart began to tremble.

She knew all too well that this hidden injury not only endangered her life but was also wasting her time.

But, since no reliable Golden Core expert was willing to help her, what could she do?

For so many years, in this house, You Wensi has always been unwilling to lift a finger or help her.

What can she do?

Zhu Yunqing bit her lower lip, her emotions slightly out of control. Resentment and anger surged through her, along with a growing resentment towards You Wensi.

But she quickly suppressed her emotions, looked at Yun Chuan, and tried to reassure him: "It's alright, Fourth Sister, we can wait."

This was a completely insincere statement, and Yun Chu'an simply couldn't accept it. He didn't refute it, but his brain started working at lightning speed, thinking of a solution.

Does it require a Golden Core expert to take action?

Who can I turn to?

It seems that, given my connections, I can't find a suitable person...

Yan Shui is said to be about to break through to the Golden Core stage, but how much longer will it take? If we gamble Fourth Sister's life on whether she can break through quickly, what's the difference between that and gambling on Eldest Sister?

What can I do? What else can I do...?

"Does it have to be a Golden Core expert who takes action?" He asked again, as if unwilling to give up. Zhu Yunqing hesitated, then shook his head slightly: "I don't know. The only thing I know is that a Golden Core expert has to take action personally."

Yun Chu'an turned around, her back to her: "I understand, Fourth Sister, let me... think of a way."

Zhu Yunqing gazed tenderly at his retreating figure. Even though she knew that with his meager cultivation level, his efforts would likely be in vain, his concern for her still filled her heart with warmth.

She had a vague feeling that Yun Chu'an also loved her. Perhaps this love wasn't romantic love between a man and a woman; he wouldn't treat her the way he treated Qi Qiao and the others, but…

That's enough. Having him by my side is enough...

Be content with yourself.

Her eyes were full of tenderness. Even though she was too weak to move, just lying in bed and looking at him like this filled her with contentment.

"Chu'an." She suddenly spoke softly, her voice gentle as she called to him. Yun Chu'an's expression shifted, and he turned to look at her, only to hear the girl say softly, "Come here."

Let me hug you.

As she spoke, her gaze fell on his hands, noticing the book he was holding. But she didn't care; she didn't believe it held the key to saving her. At this moment, she was already content with just a moment of tenderness with him.

Yun Chu'an was taken aback, but did not refuse. He lay down beside her and put his arm around her shoulder.

Zhu Yunqing closed her eyes and hugged his body. Although he was only wrapped in a simple bathrobe, his well-built naked body was within reach, and she could even smell the unique masculine scent on his body, which fascinated her.

She should have been shy, but at this moment her mind was blank, she didn't think about anything, whether it was right to her sisters, or about morality and honor. She no longer cared about the education she had received from a young age as a young lady from a demon cultivator family, she just wanted to be tender with him.

Let me savor this moment a little longer; before long, he will have to leave me and return to the arms of his true wife…

She tried to comfort herself with this thought, but then she heard Yun Chu'an's voice: "Fourth Sister."

She opened her eyes and saw the man staring at her with unwavering determination: "Let's get married!"

Zhu Yunqing's heart suddenly stopped. She stared at the man in front of her, unable to believe her ears. What had she just heard?

"You..." Her lips moved, still not quite understanding what she meant. "What did you say?"

Yun Chu'an handed her the book, his eyes clear, as if he had no ulterior motives: "I said, let's get married, I'll take you as my wife."

Zhu Yunqing followed his movements and looked over, only then noticing that he was holding a pornographic picture!

No, it wasn't just a simple erotic picture. Upon closer inspection, she discovered that the naked men and women in the book had clearly defined meridian pathways drawn on their bodies, which represented the flow of spiritual energy within the human body.

Upon closer inspection, she discovered that thousands upon thousands of tiny characters were actually written between the gaps in the meridians. The amount of information was so vast that even a single glance would likely cause an ordinary person's brain to explode!

Fortunately, she was a Foundation Establishment cultivator. She could understand the contents at a glance. It was about dual cultivation. Through dual cultivation, the man could help the woman break through to a higher realm and overcome difficulties!

Immediately, she understood what Yun Chuan was holding. It was actually a dual cultivation technique produced by the Hehuan Sect and tailor-made for the monarchs and kings of various vassal states!

A shy feeling welled up inside her, but at this moment, she felt no anger, only a hint of smugness: "What nonsense are you talking about! You've already married Qi Qiao, and you still want to marry me? Aren't you afraid your mother-in-law will punish you?"

Yun Chu'an stood up and stood by the bed, looking down at her: "I'm afraid, but I'm even more afraid of losing you, Fourth Sister. I'm not willing to take any risks!"

"But your method won't save me!" Zhu Yunqing's cheeks were already flushed, her voice a mixture of joy and embarrassment. "You actually believe in the Hehuan Sect's techniques? Those women are just making excuses for the kings of various countries to take in more concubines!"

“But I really succeeded once!” Yun Chu’an suddenly roared, veins bulging on his forehead, but his tone then softened. “Fourth Sister, I succeeded once.”

Zhu Yunqing was taken aback: "You mean..."

“And Qi Qiao.” Yun Chu’an stared at her. “Fourth sister, my bloodline is extraordinary. The power of my ancestors protects me. When I marry my new wife and continue the family line, the power left in my bloodline by my ancestors will be activated, helping my wife and me reach a new level.”

As he spoke, he raised his hand, golden lightning flashing at his fingertips: "And these lightning bolts are not actually the Yellow Dragon Clan's 'Three Thousand Springs.' 'Pure Yang Technique' is even less likely to give me the power to slaughter Foundation Establishment cultivators with only a ninth-level Qi Refining cultivation."

"All of this comes from my bloodline, Fourth Sister!"

As he spoke, endless lightning manifested from his body, illuminating the entire bedroom. He was originally a wood spirit, and now, by circulating lightning magic, he transformed his body into a massive piece of lightning-struck wood, allowing the most masculine and powerful energy to resonate throughout the room.

He didn't intend to reveal the existence of the system. Fortunately, in this world where powerful families and influential figures were trying to pass on their power to their descendants through bloodlines, he could still find a place to hide himself.

Zhu Yunqing stared straight at him, not believing a word he said. When they first met, he had only just entered the Qi Refining stage from a mortal, not at all like a member of a powerful family with a prestigious bloodline. How could he possibly have any powerful ancestors?

but……

At that moment, she was very willing to believe that doing so would save her.

At the bedside, Yun Chu'an slowly knelt down on one knee, took her hand, lowered his head, and asked, "Fourth Sister, will you marry me?"

Zhu Yunqing looked at him, her eyes already a little moist. At this moment, she suddenly felt a pang of resentment. Why did he marry Qi Qiao so early, leaving her no chance to enjoy his affection alone?

No, no, his marriage to Qi Qiao was arranged by You Wensi, and she certainly has never experienced a proposal like this.

A surge of immense satisfaction welled up from the bottom of her heart. She gritted her teeth, trying hard to suppress the sobs that were about to erupt, and looked at Yun Chu'an, striving to maintain her noble and aloof tone: "Your mind is made up?"

Yun Chu'an looked up: "My mind is made up."

It seems I can't refuse him.

A slightly absurd idea popped into Zhu Yunqing's mind, but using this idea as a cover, she suddenly put aside all her concerns.

Anyway, I don't have much time left to live, so whether I succeed or fail, I'll just let it be.

Even if you fail, indulging once means you won't have any regrets.

Even if I can't last more than a few years, I still want him to be my man!

"I hope you won't regret it," she said.

This means that she agreed.

Overjoyed, Yun Chu'an stood up. Zhu Yunqing struggled to sit up from the bed, and even though she was still very weak, she grabbed Yun Chu'an's hand and knelt on the bed first: "Come here and repeat after me."

Yun Chu'an knelt on the bed, facing her. The spider demon's eyes were red-rimmed as she grasped his hand and said in a deep voice, "Heaven and Earth above!"

"Today, I wish Yun Qing and Yun Chu'an a happy marriage. May they spend the rest of their lives together, supporting each other and never betraying one another!"

Zhu Yunqing loudly swore an oath, and Yun Chuan followed suit, saying in a clear voice: "Heaven and Earth above, today, I, Yun Chuan, and Zhu Yunqing are married. For the rest of our lives, we will accompany and support each other, and never betray each other!"
