After Breaking Off the Engagement, I Started Pursuing My Master
Chapter 189 - Xiangxiang

Chapter 189: Xiangxiang

The summer light was bright and intense.

Jiang Huai made a trip to the spiritual plant garden, which was full of medicinal herbs, and bought some fragrant lotus from the garden owner. He returned to the courtyard and began to repair the lotus pond that had been damaged by the recent storm.

Jiang Huai didn’t have a particular fondness for flowers, but out of boredom, he planted many in the courtyard. Occasionally, when he went down the mountain to secret realms and saw beautiful and fragrant flowers, he couldn’t help but pick one to bring back.

Master Chu Xianning’s Flower Spirit Body meant that the spiritual energy that lingered around her would keep the flowers in the courtyard blooming all year round, vibrant and luscious.

After busying himself in the lotus pond for a long time, Jiang Huai, together with Bai Li, finally repaired the pond. Chu Xianning went back to her room to rest, and Jiang Huai glanced at Bai Li.

“Shall we take a bath?”

“Let’s go.” Bai Li leaned towards Jiang Huai.

In the bathhouse, the water rippled, and the sunlight above was scorching hot, making them reluctant to get up after soaking for a long time. The cool water refreshed their skin. Bai Li sat on the steps in the bathhouse, her fair little legs constantly swaying, splashing large amounts of water.

Jiang Huai had promised to visit Wen Fufu in the afternoon.

Bai Li had already changed back into her adult form by the bathhouse, and the summer weather was excessively hot. She chose a light summer dress, and her warm, long legs were faintly visible beneath the black gauze skirt. She carefully combed her silver-white hair but kept accidentally tying it crookedly until Jiang Huai came behind her and carefully tied it up for her.

The two went to Wen Fufu’s courtyard together, but after knocking for a while with no response, Jiang Huai pushed the door open and they both walked in. He had just looked around and called Wen Fufu’s name when he suddenly heard a girl’s scream.

His gaze followed the source of the light.

A girl in porcelain white stood under the shade of a tree, her body bare, with one arm covering her chest and the other hand frantically covering her legs. The sunlight filtered through the gaps in the leaves, casting patches of light on her smooth, fair skin. Wen Fufu’s cheeks were flushed, seemingly weakened by Jiang Huai’s sudden appearance, her knees slightly bent, her body trembling non-stop.

“You, you, you...”

Jiang Huai closed his eyes, and it took several seconds before he regained his composure,

“Who bathes in the courtyard without clothes?”

“It’s too hot, I was just soaking in the bath...” Wen Fufu’s voice trembled with grievance.

“Who enters without knocking?”

“I knocked, but no one answered for a long time.”

“I haven’t cultivated much, so my hearing isn’t that good...”

Wen Fufu replied with a pout, then hurriedly ran towards her room on her feet, muttering as she went.

“You, you, you better not open your eyes...”

Jiang Huai waited with his eyes closed for a while until he felt a finger poke his chest. He then slowly opened his eyes.

Wen Fufu had already changed into a black dress, her dark hair still slightly damp. Her bright black eyes seemed to be veiled with a layer of mist, a hint of embarrassment and annoyance subtly emerging within.

When Jiang Huai’s gaze fell on her, Wen Fufu’s cheeks puffed up, and she punched Jiang Huai’s chest with her small fist.

Seeing Jiang Huai’s lack of reaction, Wen Fufu swung her little fist again. Jiang Huai looked at her helplessly.

“What is it?”

“Apologize...” Wen Fufu’s voice was full of grievance.

“Sorry.”

Wen Fufu’s puffed cheeks finally relaxed, and she returned to sit under the shade of the courtyard tree. Bai Li was already playing with the cat, while Jiang Huai sat on another chair under the shade. The table still had the book The Melody of Warm Jade that Jiang Huai had given her yesterday, along with some dried fruits. Wen Fufu picked up the teapot to brew tea, and after pouring a cup for Jiang Huai, the girl continued to lounge on the recliner.

Her black dress was light and slightly transparent, and the white skin beneath seemed to be faintly visible. There must be a close-fitting garment under the dress, but because the skirt was so transparent, the outline and color of the garment were both revealed. Jiang Huai was still somewhat dazed, and his mind suddenly recalled the strange logic Wen Fufu had mentioned before... If he had seen Wen Wanwan’s body, did that mean he had also seen Wen Fufu’s body?

After pretending to read for a while, Wen Fufu suddenly put down the book and turned to look at Jiang Huai, who was watching her, with a wary expression in her eyes,

“Why is brother-in-law staring at me?”

“What should I be doing?” Jiang Huai replied innocently.

“Anyway, you can’t think strange thoughts in your head.”

“How did you conclude that I’m thinking strange thoughts in my head?”

“Because Ah Mumu said that when men see beautiful women, they always have vile and dark thoughts in their heads.”

“Are you a beautiful woman?”

“If you say I’m not beautiful, then you’re saying my sister isn’t beautiful. I’m going to tell my sister.”

“...” Jiang Huai was speechless.

Wen Fufu brought a piece of watermelon to his lips, and he took a bite. The watermelon was sweet, but after he took that bite, Wen Fufu brought the piece back to her own lips and finished it off, leaving none for Jiang Huai.

“Why are you staring at me?” Wen Fufu, with puffed cheeks, looked at Jiang Huai innocently.

“It’s expensive, I only bought a small piece.”

“Did you buy it from the spiritual plant garden?”

Wen Fufu nodded.

“Didn’t I just give you a thousand spirit stones last time? A spirit melon costs less than one spirit stone, right?”

“But I also bought a lot of pretty dresses, small jewelry, cute socks, and the collector’s edition trilogy of Ziyun Pavilion’s Ah Mumu. I only have a little left after spending.”

“I haven’t seen you wearing cute socks.”

“Brother-in-law.” Wen Fufu’s lips suddenly curved up.

“Showing your true colors, aren’t you?”

“Huh?”

“I mentioned jewelry, clothes, but brother-in-law’s focus is on socks. Who normally cares about a girl’s socks?” Wen Fufu’s little foot poked his leg, then she tilted her head.

“Does brother-in-law want to see me wear them? And then dirty them? Just like when you bully my sister?”

Jiang Huai suddenly realized he couldn’t refute; his focus did seem a bit strange. Just as he was about to try to change the subject, Wen Fufu continued to press the issue.

“Or is it that in your head, you’re already thinking about Fufu and sister serving brother-in-law together with their feet?”

Jiang Huai extended a finger to silence Wen Fufu.

“Be quiet.”

Wen Fufu’s lips parted slightly, and in the next second, she gently enveloped Jiang Huai’s finger with her soft lips, her playful tongue even giving it a quick lick. Her dark eyes were filled with an awkward charm.

Jiang Huai hastily withdrew his finger and, with dissatisfaction, wiped it on the sleeve of Wen Fufu’s shoulder. Wen Fufu widened her eyes.

“Brother-in-law actually finds me dirty!”

Her eyes were filled with both resentment and grievance, but just moments later, Jiang Huai took out a spirit stone note with a denomination of one thousand and slapped it on the table.

“Here’s some pocket money, be good.”

Wen Fufu’s grievances disappeared instantly as she pinched the spirit stone note from the table, then innocently blinked at Jiang Huai.

“What do you mean by ‘be good’?”

“It means...”

“Does it mean to obediently listen to brother-in-law and let him play with my little feet?”

“You’ve had enough...”

Seeing Jiang Huai Jr. about to explode, Wen Fufu suddenly shrank back.

“Alright, alright, Fufu gets it.”

She stared at the one thousand denomination spirit stone note in her hand, already calculating how many pretty little dresses and tasty snacks she could buy with it. She rarely left her courtyard, spending her days basking in the sun, snacking, and reading—that was her entire daily routine.

She lay on the chair for a long time, pondering how to spend the money, and after a while, she sat up from the lounge chair and blinked innocently at Jiang Huai.

“Somehow, spending brother-in-law’s money like this... doesn’t seem quite right.”

“It’s just a small amount of money, no big deal.”

“Fufu feels guilty,” Wen Fufu said, then playfully lifted her leg, tapping Jiang Huai’s knee with her toes,

“How about I let brother-in-law play with my little feet anyway? That way, I’ll feel more at ease.”

“So what exactly did you understand just now?”

Jiang Huai Jr. was furious, standing up from the chair. In the next instant, Wen Fufu shrank back onto the lounge chair, hugging her knees tightly and reclining backward, almost curling into a ball as if that would make her untouchable by Jiang Huai.

“Bai Li.” Jiang Huai looked towards Bai Li, who was still playing with a cat in the distance, and called out.

Bai Li ran over with the cat in her arms, and Jiang Huai whispered a few words in her ear. Bai Li gave him a strange look.

“Have you become this perverted?”

“No, I just think it’s time to properly discipline this one.”

“Then do it yourself, I don’t want to be hated.”

Bai Li huffed and ran off to the side with the cat, while Jiang Huai looked at Wen Fufu, who was curled up. Wen Fufu was quietly observing him, the hint of mischief in her eyes making Jiang Huai itch with irritation. She enjoyed challenging Jiang Huai Jr.’s sense of shame, taking pleasure in his frustration. But as Jiang Huai approached, Wen Fufu truly began to feel uneasy.

“What are you going to do, brother-in-law... Why, why did you bring out a rope... I’ll tell sister... No, don’t... I know I was wrong... Brother-in-law is the best... Please don’t... Can’t you just let it go for Fufu’s sake...”

Unfortunately, her struggle was futile.

Wen Fufu’s slender arms and legs lacked any strength, and her struggles were in vain. Her delicate waist was bound to the chair with rope, and her slender, pale ankles were also tightly tied together. Jiang Huai brought a chair over to sit beside her, looking at the girl’s pitiful and innocent appearance. Tears were welling up in Wen Fufu’s eyes, as if they were about to fall at any second.

But Jiang Huai always had the feeling that she was still quietly observing him, and deep in her eyes, there was still a hint of playfulness.

Jiang Huai took out a white feather and looked at Wen Fufu,

“As long as you promise to be good from now on, I’ll let this go.”

“Fufu will definitely be good, when have I ever not been good in front of brother-in-law?” Wen Fufu’s tone suddenly became soft and pleasing, but after a few seconds, she innocently blinked.

“But brother-in-law, you’ve tied me up and want to tickle me with a feather, isn’t it really just to satisfy your own perverted desires? If brother-in-law likes it... Fufu will try to endure it, it’s not impossible.”

Her eyes blinked innocently, looking utterly naive.

Jiang Huai smiled at Wen Fufu.

“Very clever, you guessed it all right.”

With that, he picked up the white feather and gently tickled Wen Fufu’s pale, smooth soles. Soon, the courtyard was filled with the girl’s uncontrollable laughter. Wen Fufu initially tried to struggle, but her feet were tightly bound by the rope, her toes curled tightly, and she wanted to arch her waist, but it was tied to the chair. After just a few moments, she began to frantically beg for mercy.

“No, no more... Fufu would rather brother-in-law... spank, spank her... Stop tickling... ” Wen Fufu’s tears were already spinning in her eyes.

“Will you be obedient from now on?”

Wen Fufu’s eyes stared at Jiang Huai for several seconds before she replied pitifully,

“I’ll listen, I’ll listen to everything brother-in-law says.”

Jiang Huai let out a long sigh of relief, thinking he had won a great victory, but then he heard Wen Fufu’s voice immediately take a turn.

“As if! Perverted brother-in-law, when sister comes back, I’m going to tattle on you. It’s not about educating Fufu at all, it’s clearly to satisfy your own strange desires... Hmph, I’m going to tell sister all about your vile face!”

“Oh,” Jiang Huai nodded thoughtfully.

He picked up the feather and approached Wen Fufu again,

“Although I seem to have written about this strange scenario in a book... You might think this scene is quite awkward, but in fact, it’s a very severe punishment.”

“Since you haven’t learned your lesson, it seems you’re still not behaving. I’ll have to be a little more strict.”

Jiang Huai gently twirled the small feather in his hand, and the girl on the chair began to laugh again. After a few moments, Wen Fufu truly began to plead earnestly, but Jiang Huai always felt that it would only be a few seconds before she started to challenge his sense of shame again. So, he continued to twirl the feather on the girl’s sole for a few more seconds until...

He seemed to faintly hear a snicker.

When he put away the feather, Wen Fufu on the chair was now biting her lip, her cheeks flushed with shame, and from under her black dress, clear droplets of water trickled down.

Jiang Huai Jr. was momentarily stunned, staring at the girl’s wet hem, and when he looked up at Wen Fufu’s face, her tears were falling drop by drop.

“I hate you...” Wen Fufu’s voice was full of sobs.

It’s over!

Even though Jiang Huai immediately approached to untie the ropes from her body, even though he was already thinking of words of apology, he was now beyond defense. If he had had a bit of justification for being upset with Wen Fufu’s disobedience, now that Wen Fufu was crying, he was completely doomed. The red marks from the ropes were still visible on the girl’s ankles, and she dragged her powerless body, curled into a ball again, and started crying.

“I was wrong... I admit my guilt... Should I let you tickle me back? Or you can punch me twice... I’ll let down my guard and let you hit me hard... Please don’t cry...”

Completely over!

Jiang Huai was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, but now he was utterly helpless as Wen Fufu just kept crying, her sobs echoing out, and Jiang Huai was in total disarray, looking helplessly at Bai Li on the side. Bai Li, however, seemed to be enjoying the show, her arms crossed and her expression amused, her mouth shaping the words.

“You deserve it.”

“Hey... I’m a pervert, I’m a beast, I’m a scoundrel, I’m guilty, I repent, won’t you stop being angry, please... Shall Bai Li sister take you for a bath first?”

At the mention of a bath, Wen Fufu lifted her head, biting her lip, her eyes fixed on him, her cheeks wet with tears.

“Do you think... seeing Fufu in such an embarrassing state... is funny...?”

“It’s all my fault, I didn’t expect Fufu to be so...”

“So you’re blaming Fufu?”

Wen Fufu’s voice grew more and more aggrieved, and her tears flowed more fiercely. Jiang Huai Jr. immediately hit himself on the head.

“Of course not, of course not, it’s my fault, I’m a pervert, I’m a scoundrel, I’m a pig...”

“That kind of apology that’s meant for children... Fufu won’t accept it...”

“Then what do you want... I’ll listen to you...” Jiang Huai was on the verge of tears.

Wen Fufu’s lips pouted slightly, turning her face away.

“You... clean Fufu... and don’t find... Fufu dirty...”

“That’s not okay.” Jiang Huai Jr. immediately responded.

The next second, Wen Fufu hugged her knees and continued to cry, and Jiang Huai said nothing more, she ignored him. Jiang Huai looked at Bai Li on the side, but Bai Li seemed to be only enjoying his misfortune, laughing cheerfully.

Indeed, the joys and sorrows of humans do not communicate.

“We’ll go to the bath, is that not okay... I’ll clean you up...”

“You carry me there.”

Wen Fufu lifted her head, her eyes staring straight at him. Jiang Huai had no choice but to approach her, allowing her to stand up and then suddenly cling to him, her creamy legs tightly wrapped around his waist, her arms tightly encircling his neck.

“Now you’re dirty too!” Wen Fufu fiercely bit down on his neck.

“Not dirty, not dirty, Fufu smells sweet.” Jiang Huai hesitated for a moment, then carried Wen Fufu towards the bathhouse.
