Banshee Family Training Record

Page 39

Hua Caiyan couldn't understand for a moment. Looking at the two of them, and even Liu Mengshen next to her, who were suppressing laughter and looking at her with amusement, she suddenly felt a little flustered.

What's going on? This weird feeling that I know nothing about everything?

How come the three of them are all in this together, while I feel like the outsider?

She was flustered and confused, and then she heard Zhu Yunqing turn her head and say, "Chu'an, tell your fifth sister what happened that day."

Yun Chu'an then recounted the Buddhist sect's mission to hunt down zombies, their strategy of disguising themselves and sneaking up the mountain, how she had seen through their scheme through subtle details, how despite all her precautions, she had almost let the wolf demons slip their secret, and how, in order to make amends, she had taken a risk and invited them up the mountain. She then told them in great detail how she had used the "explosive talisman printing room" as a little secret to cover up Qi Qiao's big secret.

Hua Caiyan was so engrossed in the story that her heart was in her throat, unable to relax.

After listening to the end, he successfully disappointed the monks, who shook their heads and sighed as they left the mountain. Only then did the fox spirit finally feel relieved and let out a heartfelt exclamation: "Well, that's good."

Beside her, Zhu Yunqing listened quietly. Every time she thought of this incident, she couldn't help but admire his wit in her heart.

Of course, she didn't know that Yun Chuan had a system with him, and thought it was all due to his keen observation. After listening, she rolled her eyes at Hua Caiyan and complained, "I told you to get closer to your family, strengthen your relationship, and pay more attention to family matters, but you just wouldn't listen. Now you don't know anything, and it's a small matter if you make a fool of yourself, but if you let the lie slip later, that would be a big problem."

Hua Caiyan was in no mood to refute at the moment. Her mind was recalling the story Yun Chuan had told her, and she couldn't help but ask, "How did you come up with this plan?"

Yun Chuan said, "The inspiration for this comes from a story I heard before. Legend has it that when a murderer is disposing of a body, he will first dig a deep pit, throw the body in, and then bury it in a shallow pit before burying the body of a chicken or a rabbit or other animal in it."

"In this way, when the head constable of the yamen comes to investigate with his yellow dog, and digs up the top layer, he will mistakenly think that the dog smelled the meat and got hungry, so he will give up digging. From then on, this place will become a blind spot in the head constable's mind, and he will never investigate it again. Naturally, this body will never be discovered again."

He spoke so eloquently, leaving Hua Caiyan with a complicated expression: "So, your printing room is like that dead rabbit buried in a shallow pit... I see..."

She looked at him, amazed by his wit, but her mind was filled with other thoughts.

The other party is a Buddhist sect, the Qingyun Sect, a renowned sect that is famous throughout the world, and most of its members are righteous human cultivators.

The Huai Shan family is just a small family. Most of them are non-human cultivators, and there are even zombies. How can they compare to the former?

If he had chosen to betray Qi Qiao and us back then, his future would have been much brighter than it is now.

Normally, one would be to sell out, right?

Surely so?

However, instead of doing so, he deliberately revealed his secret to protect Qi Qiao and the Huai Shan family...

Hua Caiyan pursed her lips, turned her head to glance at Zhu Yunqing, and felt even more awkward.

Can humans, while being intelligent and perceptive, also maintain unwavering loyalty?

The fact that Fourth Sister values ​​him so highly suggests that she must have already seen his loyalty.

but me……

She clenched her teeth, her heart filled with unbearable pain. At this moment, his desperate insistence that she take Qi Qiao away first had also been explained.

This……

Suddenly, the words of gratitude he had spoken to her that evening flashed back into her mind.

This was like the last straw that broke the camel's back, causing her emotions to cross a certain threshold. In an instant, her emotions suddenly calmed down, and she took a deep breath, feeling a peace she had never experienced before.

Forget it, a mistake is a mistake. If you're wrong, you have to admit it. If you're going to get punished, you have to stand up straight.

I misjudged him before, but from today onward, I will look at him with new eyes.

A profound shift occurred within her, and at that moment, on Yun Chu'an's end, the system notification suddenly sounded: [Ding, Hua Caiyan's trust level has increased to 'favorable']

[Detected clues about Hana Aya's affection level; quest 'Conquer Hana Aya' now open]

The author says:

Author's note: This is an extra chapter for the 140th monthly vote. Please vote with your monthly votes!

Chapter 83 The Fox Spirit's Admiration?

Immediately afterwards, a light blue screen appeared before Yun Chuan's eyes.

[Guide to defeating Hana Aya]

[Task Description: Your intelligence, loyalty, and gratitude have shattered the family's preconceived notions about you, causing her to have a significantly changed impression of you. If you can win her over, she will become another powerful companion on your cultivation journey.]

[Mission Objective: Raise Hua Caiyan's trust level to "Adoration".]

[Quest Reward: Magic Item 'Thousand Transformations Mask']

Looking at the task description, he was overwhelmed with mixed feelings.

Finally, oh dear, it's finally done!

Yun Chu'an knew that this fox spirit was prejudiced against humans and had been targeting him. Moreover, her cultivation was higher than his, and her concealment abilities were stronger. His biggest fear was that one day this girl would suddenly become ruthless and attack him cruelly.

He was terrified and cautiously tested her, not daring to provoke her emotions too much, for fear of bringing trouble upon himself.

Today, the system detected this, and finally, finally, the weight on his heart can be lifted.

He felt a mix of emotions and looked up at Hua Caiyan. As if sensing his gaze, she also looked up at him, and their eyes met.

Immediately, she turned her face away in a fluster, and walked ahead, leaving him with only a pair of long pigtails and a back view tied with ribbons.

This reaction filled him with even greater joy. Yun Chu'an said no more and followed the group home. A glimmer of light gradually appeared in the east; dawn was approaching. He had once again failed to get a good night's sleep.

Fortunately, at least he had plenty of time to rest the next day.

While he returned home safely, the bandits who had missed the night's battle for unknown reasons were now living a life that Yun Chu'an could never have imagined.

Deep in the mountains, in a small pond, nearly a hundred bandits were soaking naked. The sky was still dark, and the pond was pitch black, as if the water flowing within wasn't pond water, but some disgusting black liquid.

However, the stench of blood emanating from this place clearly indicates that it is an extremely ominous and dangerous place.

As the golden sun slowly rose in the east, it revealed the true nature of the pond. The pond no longer had the clear, cool water of an ordinary pond; instead, it was a dazzling crimson. It was now filled with blood!

At this moment, hundreds of bandits were immersed in it, gritting their teeth, shivering, enduring pain that seemed to seep into their bones, and forcibly persisting in this place.

This is an opportunity and trial given to them by Granny Huaishan. According to her, these people have no talent and are destined to live like this for the rest of their lives, but if they can get through today, their future will surely be bright and boundless.

If one cannot endure it, then for the rest of their life, they can only be an ordinary person who can be manipulated by others.

The bandits gritted their teeth and persevered, the entire pond filled with the heavy breathing of these hundreds of men.

Then, from afar, a dignified middle-aged woman's voice rang out, her tone praising: "Excellent willpower, you are all promising talents. It was not in vain that I went through so much trouble to prepare this pool of spiritual herbs for you."

That was You Wensi's voice. Upon hearing it, the one-eyed bandit leader opened his eyes, endured the pain, and forced a dry laugh, saying, "Thank you for your great kindness, Granny. But how much longer must we endure this?"

"It's not that we can't take it anymore, it's just that if we could at least give a timeframe, we'd have something to look forward to..."

Clad in a black robe, You Wensi stepped forward, standing on the blood pool without falling. She looked down at the bandits, who were completely submerged in the blood pool with only their heads above water, and said in a deep voice, "What's the rush? Each of you is at a different pace, so the time it takes you to endure it will also be different."

As she spoke, her gaze swept over the many bandits, finally settling on one of them, her tone gradually becoming satisfied: "Take him, for example, his progress is excellent. Now, we can move on to the next stage."

As she spoke, she took out a pill from her sleeve, bent down and handed it to the person: "Open your mouth and swallow it."

The man seemed to have been numbed by the burning pain from the blood pool. Upon hearing this, he opened his mouth in a daze and swallowed the pill.

But after swallowing it, his body reacted immediately. His face turned red and his body trembled, as if he was expanding and might explode at any moment.

The other bandits around them were horrified, while Granny Huaishan's voice sounded increasingly satisfied: "That's it, you guys, when you're soaking in the blood pool, don't forget to silently recite the Heart Sutra I taught you, and cultivate as soon as possible."

"This pool of spiritual herbs is quite valuable. If we don't succeed in our cultivation before the effects wear off, we may never have this opportunity again!"

After her intimidation, the robbers, who had been hesitant, dared not linger for even a moment.

They were not highly educated and had not received a systematic education, so they had no way of knowing whether what she said was true or false, or whether these things were good or bad. They could only bite the bullet and do as she said.

Looking at these bandits, You Wensi couldn't help but laugh inwardly.

Very good. These human pills are all nearing maturity and will soon transform into Blood-Burning Berserkers, becoming my bountiful harvest.

Qingyun Sect, just you wait! I'm going to collect some interest on the grudge I inflicted on my Corpse-Driving Sect!

Deep in the mountains, using these ignorant bandits, Granny Huaishan was brewing a brand new, unspeakable conspiracy. These troubles hadn't yet affected Yun Chu'an, so he continued his training and cultivation at his own pace, while also training his subordinates.

The system didn't assign him any missions for this trip to deal with the bear demon, so there were no rewards. However, he gained seven or eight subordinates who obeyed him, were quite strong, and could help him in many ways, which was already a considerable gain in itself.

Not to mention, there's also the bear gallbladder from the Foundation Establishment stage, a treasure coveted even by those in the late Foundation Establishment stage. That one item alone is a truly substantial gain.

Although the bear gallbladder is now in Zhu Yunqing's hands, he has a premonition that it will not ultimately be used on him.

However, he knew the principle of "possessing a treasure invites trouble" from the beginning, which is why he took the initiative to hand over the bear bile from the start.

The fourth level of Qi Refining is still too weak. Trading a treasure that I can't use right now for the appreciation of two Foundation Establishment experts—one of whom is even in the late stage of Foundation Establishment—is a win-win situation no matter how you look at it.

Chapter 84 Zhu Yunqing's Bedside

After returning, Yun Chu'an never thought about bear gall again. Every day, besides practicing supernatural powers and spells and printing talismans, he sparred with wolf demons and bear demons, and also got to know them better.

During his conversations with the bear demons, he also learned about their blood relationships. Qi Xiong had several sons, the eldest of whom had the highest cultivation level, already at the ninth level of Qi Refining, and was about to break through to Foundation Establishment. Moreover, he was intelligent, capable, and mature in handling affairs, satisfying the old bear in every way, and was his chosen successor.

The only problem is that he is now dead. He was eaten when the snake demon first attacked their family, and the old, weak, sick and disabled were also devoured. Only a few of them survived, and they were only able to bully the gray wolves and their gang.

Qi Xiong's eldest son also had several sons who ran away with him. The Commander Xiong, who was killed by Guangzhi that day and was at the fourth level of Qi Refining, was one of his sons. Unfortunately, of his sons, only this one was of any use; the others were either dead or only at the first level of Qi Refining, making them unsuitable for any great task.

Qi Xiong's second son was that silly black bear, Qi Along. He was born strong and willing to endure hardship, so he had some cultivation. It was just a pity that he was stupid. Even though he had reached the sixth level of Qi Refining, he still couldn't transform into human form and couldn't shoulder the burden of a family. That's why Qi Xiong entrusted him to Yun Chu'an.

Qi Along had no sons, and although he was of advanced age, he had no interest in having children.

Apart from the two black bears, one dead and one mentally challenged, Qi Xiong's other children were all exceptionally untalented, mostly only at the first or second level of Qi Refining. At this moment, they could only follow Qi Along around, doing whatever he told them to do.

After hearing all this, Yun Chuan could only sigh and express his sympathy for the tragic plight of the black bear family.

Time continued to move forward, and everything in the mountains seemed to return to tranquility, the undercurrents no longer surging. However, an even greater storm was quietly brewing in the shadows.

A few days later, Zhu Yunqing suddenly gave him an order to come to her cave to see her.

Yun Chu'an had no doubts and used his magic to "shrink the earth into an inch," arriving at Zhu Yunqing's mountaintop and stepping into her cave.

The cave was very dark, with only a few glowing stones providing some light. He wandered through the enormous spider webs and hanging cocoons, heading deeper into the cave, but he still couldn't find Zhu Yunqing.

At this moment, a hint of doubt arose in his mind: "Fourth Sister? Are you inside, Fourth Sister?"

He called out, and after a moment, from deeper within the lair, the spider demon's voice rang out: "I'm inside, come in."

Yun Chu'an was somewhat excited, as this was the first time he had ever entered such a deep place inside his fourth sister's vagina.

Without delay, he strode forward and jogged all the way to the end of the lair.

Here, Zhu Yunqing sat with her back to him on a huge bluestone bed. In front of her was a stone table, on which were two enormous golden bear gallbladders.

That was his previous spoils of war, a gift from the old bear Qi Xiong, who was in the early stages of Foundation Establishment—his own bear gall.

Upon seeing her, Yun Chu'an immediately stopped in his tracks, refusing to take another step forward. This was clearly her bedroom, and neither he nor she should be entering now.

But the fourth sister suddenly turned her head, her beautiful eyes, painted with black tear stains, looking at him: "What are you doing standing at the door? Come here."

She gestured for him to come over and sit on her bluestone bed. Yun Chu'an nervously went over and stood beside her: "Fourth Sister, what can I do for you?"

Zhu Yunqing bit her lower lip, as if she found it difficult to speak. She took a deep breath, as if to compose herself, and looked up into his eyes: "I won't hide it from you anymore. To tell you the truth, I have an old ailment and I desperately need these two bear gallbladders to refine into a pill to cure my cold ailment."

"So, would you be willing to give me these two bear gallbladders temporarily?"

Yun Chu'an's eyes lit up. Without hesitation or bargaining, he said, "Of course I'm willing. I can't afford the medicinal herbs for Foundation Establishment stage cultivators. If this can relieve Fourth Sister's pain, then I'll gladly accept it."

He said this without a doubt about Zhu Yunqing's words. He still clearly remembered the ripples in his heart when he first saw her attribute interface. As a cultivator in the early stage of Foundation Establishment, she clearly had such a high cultivation level, yet she only had seven years of lifespan left.

Is it because she is too old that she has little time left to live?

Yun Chu'an had also had his doubts, but he quickly realized something was amiss. She clearly looked so young, without a trace of aging, and he had seen middle-aged female cultivators in Weihu Market before, which meant that even Foundation Establishment cultivators were not eternally youthful.

Today, Zhu Yunqing's words have cleared up his confusion.

So that's how it is. She also had an unknown cold ailment, which meant that despite being in the prime of her youth, she only had seven years left to live.

He felt a pang of sympathy, but Zhu Yunqing seemed not to believe that he would so easily accept his explanation.

Or rather, she herself couldn't accept that he could be convinced with just a few words. She had to make sure that all the evidence she had prepared was in order, otherwise she wouldn't be able to feel at ease.

She suddenly reached out and untied the belt around her waist, then began to gradually remove her clothes from her shoulders.

She moved quickly. Before Yun Chuan could react, the thick blue silk robe had already been untied and placed on the bed next to her, revealing the close-fitting cotton jacket she was wearing underneath.

Looking at the little jacket, Yun Chu'an belatedly realized why, despite her impressive figure, her fourth sister didn't appear to have any outward signs of voluptuousness.

Just kidding, with all that thick clothing, even the best figure wouldn't be visible at all.

The problem is, in this sweltering heat, I only need a vest every day, so why is my fourth sister wearing such thick clothes?

The question had barely crossed his mind when she took off her cotton undershirt, revealing her almost naked upper body.

Her fair and delicate skin came into his view; her smooth shoulders and exquisite collarbones were undeniably sexy.

Her full, proud breasts stood tall. Underneath her upper body, the spider demon wasn't wearing a bellyband, but rather the largest size black half-bowl-shaped bra with intricate cutouts and lace trim that she had taken from him that day.
