Chapter 49 (2/2)

However, just when she turned her head, she could not help but exclaim, “Martial Aunt, why are you suddenly… suddenly wearing a dress?”

“What’s wrong? Can’t I wear it?”

Jiu Jiu secretly observed Li Changshou’s reaction. When she turned in a circle in front of Lan Ling’e, her dress and beautiful hair floated lightly, causing the house to be filled with a faint fragrance.

At that moment, Lan Ling’e was also secretly watching her senior brother’s reaction. When she found him nodding his head with a smile, she was slightly relieved.

‘It’s good that Senior Brother wasn’t startled.’

Lan Ling’e said in a soft laugh, “Of course, you can. Martial Aunt is usually very pretty, but you’re even more dazzling now. I wouldn’t dare to drift on the white cloud with you!”

Jiu Jiu blinked her eyes at Li Changshou. “Changshou, what… do you think?”

“Very nice.” Li Changshou nodded his head and praised her.

When a woman had a good relations.h.i.+p with himself, just like his junior sister and martial aunt in front of him, and they suddenly changed into a new dress or a new piece of head ornament, and sought praises, he should not be stingy with praises as an elegant man.

However, when he thought that there might have been misunderstandings the day before, Li Changshou added, “I might be a little not used to it after looking at it all of a sudden.”

“I see.”

Jiu Jiu looked down at what she had matched after carefully picking them for half a day, looking somewhat disappointed.

At the side, Lan Ling’e sighed in her heart.

‘Senior Brother is still like this, as expected…

‘It’s really too hard to approach such a person like him who can’t wait to refuse any karma.

‘This is troublesome, indeed.’

Lan Ling’e very soon revealed a faint, slight smile and took the initiative to go over. She whispered at Jiu Jiu’s ear, “Martial Aunt, is this your first time dressing up like this?”

Jiu Jiu quickly replied, “Yes, that’s right. I wanted to change my dressing style all of a sudden.”

“When you’re dressed like this, having light makeup is more suitable.” Lan Ling’e whispered something at Jiu Jiu’s ear, and Jiu Jiu’s eyes lit up before she pulled Lan Ling’e to behind the screen at the side.

Upon seeing that, Li Changshou shook his head slightly and continued to read with the slip held up. When he heard them chattering with a low voice, he thought a little in his heart without any change in his expression.

Not long after, amid Lan Ling’e’s constant exclamation, Jiu Jiu came out from behind the screen and looked at Li Changshou while being pleased with herself.

“How’s this?”

Li Changshou looked up and smiled even wider.

At that moment, it seemed that his martial aunt had become another person. She had put on face powder, drew the ends of her eyebrows thinly, put on some rouge, moistened her red lips, wore a thin silk skirt and a lined jacket, and had phoenix tail braids. She seemed more exquisite than before and had more feminine charms.

“Not bad.” Li Changshou showed her a thumbs-up. “You are the top three most beautiful among the women I’ve seen!”

“Really?”

Jiu Jiu blinked her eyes. For some reason, the kind of strange, subtle feelings entangled in her heart over the past two days had dissipated. She felt happy and relieved as a result.

“Of course, it’s true. Do you have a misunderstanding of your own charms?” Li Changshou replied with a smile, “Martial Aunt, you usually don’t wear makeup, and you’re already a person that many male disciples in the sect admire.”

“Pooh, how can that be?” Jiu Jiu rolled her eyes, but her eyes were still smiling. She said indifferently, “I don’t care much about these. After all, I cultivate the Dao to seek longevity.

“Let’s not talk about this. Are you still giving a lesson?

“If you’re not going to do so, let’s play Fight the Great G.o.ds!”

Li Changshou said, “Giving a lesson is something I need to do after all…”

“Martial Aunt, you rarely come here!” Lan Ling’e hugged Jiu Jiu’s arm. “Fight the Great G.o.ds!”

Li Changshou could not help but rest his forehead on his hand. How could it be ‘rarely’ when she came around seven to eight times a month?

Jiu Jiu firmly agreed. “Fight the Great G.o.ds!”

“Alright. Since the two of you are so excited, we’ll find a chance to give Ling’e another lesson later on.”

Li Changshou shook his head. The two of them were already cheering at the side, and skillfully set up the short table and cus.h.i.+ons.

When she sat down, Jiu Jiu felt somewhat awkward. She used Li Changshou’s straw hut next door to change back into her most comfortable hemp garment, short blouse, and short skirt. She replaced the shoes with embroidered flowers into soft, comfortable, special straw shoes and removed the light makeup on her face.

This straw was not just ordinary straw. This was the immortal gra.s.s that Jiu Wu had meticulously nurtured…

This was indeed much more comfortable.

Before Jiu Jiu went out of the straw hut, she recalled Li Changshou’s tone earlier on.

‘Top three most beautiful!’

Jiu Jiu unconsciously smiled and mumbled, “This brat is really disgraceful. He even dared to say such things.”

Jiu Jiu opened the door and rushed to the straw hut next door like the wind. Competing voices were heard after some time…

“Fight the Great G.o.ds!”

“Double!”

“Extra double!”

“You’re the great G.o.d this round. I’m a little immortal. Extra double. I have 12 Spirit Stones at the moment.”

“Make your move, Ling’e!

“I have 17 cards. Can you defeat me today?”

…

When it was quiet in the middle of the night, Li Changshou left the straw hut.

His martial aunt and junior sister were a little drunk. At the moment, they were sound asleep on the bed. He was in charge of closing the door and opening the array, lest their pitiful look was seen by others the next morning.

When he returned to the Pill Chamber, he entered the secret underground room. Li Changshou sat on the meditation cus.h.i.+on at the corner, closed his eyes, and concealed his spirit and Qi.

A ball of orange-red flame slowly condensed between his palms and was later absorbed into his body. It started to slowly roam around and forge his primordial soul and Dao Body.

Nine-petaled lotus flowers slowly circulated him. At the moment, these lotus flowers were the size of a fist, and the veined patterns on them were incomparably clear. They had become more perfect and had indistinct, mysterious Dao runes.

However, Li Changshou still felt that it was lacking. Thus, he was hesitant to enter the Ninth Stage of the Dao Requital Realm.
