Chapter 8 (1/2)
CHAPTER 8: “I CAN PLAY WITH THESE LEGS FOR AN ENTIRE YEAR!”
Yun CaiXiao’s comment was quite representative of the morals and ethics of this time period, which resembled that of Earth’s in ancient times, rules between relations with the opposite s.e.x are quite strict, especially for unmarried women. With the exception of the arms, neck, and head, nothing else should be exposed to others, even if it is one’s fiance!
“Fine, I’ll take a stroll and go gaze at the stars to determine tomorrow’s horoscope.” Hong XiaoBao responded begrudgingly as he stretched out his stiff shoulders. [Well their att.i.tude towards this topic won’t be easily changed, it’s not just between her but all of society has the same att.i.tude, I guess there’s not much that can be done!]
After Hong XiaoBao left, Yun CaiXiao quickly secured the screen, afterwards she took off her embroidered shoes; a pair of tender white feet where revealed, as white and soft as if they were formed of freshly fallen snow, her small toes were extremely adorable.
“Ahh, I don’t even know if these are the proper size,” despite that her eyes turned sparkly, replacing the shy expression she had just a moment ago she now, looking just like an innocent little girl who recieved her favourite gift.
Hong XiaoBao who had been chased away was standing outside with a pair of binoculars in his hands, peeking at Yun CaiXiao “Ahh, my little sister’s little feet are truely very cute, look at that color, white and tender, that irreplicable shape, these must be the thing of legends.”
After a while Hong XiaoBao muttered “These high heels will change her figure after she wears them, her chest will become more full and firm, CaiXiao has a great figure naturally… I’m afraid this will perhaps make her too alluring.”
As he was peeking an muttering to himself, an old voice suddenly resounded in his head, “Haha, this little girl has treated you very well, and she even has a dark Yin physique! Your luck isn’t bad boy!”
Holy s.h.i.+t, that guy almost scared me to death!
“Old man quiet down,” Hong XiaoBao retorted as he continued to peek inside. “Ahh… she already finished.”
“Oi, little b.a.s.t.a.r.d stop messing around.” MengXianJi continued. “Do you still remember the martial arts techniques I taught you earlier?”
Eh? Well I guess this is important stuff, nothing could be more imporant, Hong XiaoBao nodded and said “Of course I wouldn’t forget it, I’d be dead before I forgot, what, you want to start practicing now?”
We’ve already agreed that I can’t keep being powerless, especially after little sister Cai has shown me such compa.s.sion. “Just awhile ago, old man said little sister CaiXiao has a dark Yin physique, sounds like she would make a good practice partner, hopefully she isn’t the vicious type.
“Vicious my a.s.s, such a precious girl like her, I’m more worried about hurting her.” Retorted the old man. “You gave this little girl some super expensive high something shoes, of course I want you to get something in return. I can feel something from her body, call her over here.”
“Huh? Something? What something?” asked Hong XiaoBao who was startled, “Her body has some kind of treasure?”
“It can’t be considered as ‘treasure’, it’s just a stone of healing.” explained MengXianJi. “It’s a rock which simply speeds up the rate of recovery.”
“Healing stone? A rock which helps heal faster?” Pondered Hong XiaoBao. With an astonis.h.i.+ng realization, he asked “What you just described is something called blood jade right?! That stuff costs 1000 silver for just a small piece!”
