Chapter 169: Chapter 169: The Giant Stone Crushes the Chest

"My hair’s gotten a bit long..."

Liang Yi fiddled with his shoulder-length hair while sitting in the courtyard, lost in thought and feeling slightly vexed.

Ever since his transmigration, he had never managed his hair, letting it grow freely. If his looks hadn’t been top-notch in the Cultivation World, he might not have been able to pull it off.

"Master, how about I tie your hair for you?" The little fox Yue Bai appeared from nowhere with a sky-blue hair ribbon, waving it in front of Liang Yi.

"Tying my hair?" Liang Yi was indifferent, but in his vague memory, tying someone’s hair seemed to signify an intimate relationship.

"You can wait for next time. Let’s have your Sister Su do it for your first time," Liang Yi pinched the little fox’s ear and took the hair ribbon from her as he stood up, ready to find his junior sister.

"Um... alright." Although Yue Bai felt a bit reluctant, she agreed that the first hair-tying should indeed be done by Sister Su.

"Junior sister?"

Walking through the courtyard, following the beautiful artificial hill in the courtyard all the way to the chamber where his junior sister stayed.

In the courtyard, his junior sister stood tall and straight like a pine on a mountaintop, her flawless Sword Technique unfolded, and her Spirit Sword danced in the air as gracefully as a swimming dragon or a startled swan.

As the sword moves quickened, the trembling of the Spirit Sword grew more intense. With the vibrations of Mana, a halo of red dawn surrounded her, making Su Youyi, who stood alone in the courtyard, appear enchantingly beautiful.

As the sound of something shattering like glass rang out, Su Youyi opened her eyes and saw Liang Yi at the entrance of the courtyard.

"Senior brother, why are you here?" Sheathing her Spirit Sword, Su Youyi came over to her senior brother, asking with delight.

"My hair’s gotten a bit long; I was thinking of having you help me tie it up. Would that be okay?" Liang Yi came back to his senses and remembered the purpose of his visit.

"Sure, sure."

Hearing her senior brother’s words, Su Youyi’s eyes immediately lit up.

Tying hair was often something described in stories as a wife doing for her husband. Since senior brother came to her, could it possibly mean...

"Short hair is better and less of a hassle," Liang Yi said, led by his junior sister into her chamber, sitting down in front of a water mirror.

"Senior brother, your hair actually looks better when it’s longer."

Setting aside her own little wishes, Su Youyi truly believed this. The overall demeanor of her senior brother with long hair was indescribably ethereal and otherworldly – his look was how people imagined immortals to be.

"Is that so? Then let’s just keep it long." Since junior sister said so, Liang Yi naturally followed her advice.

The sky-blue hair ribbon danced in the nimble hands of Su Youyi like a fluttering butterfly among Liang Yi’s hair. In no time, a bun had been tied atop Liang Yi’s head, making his long hair look even more natural.

"It looks quite good." Liang Yi looked at his reflection in the water mirror, feeling that he looked even more handsome.

"Junior sister, did you just have a breakthrough with your Sword Technique?"

Recalling the earlier phenomenon in the courtyard, Liang Yi felt that the Sword Qi emanating from his junior sister behind him seemed to have become sharper, a telltale sign of a breakthrough in swordsmanship.

"Yes, this time after descending the mountain and gaining experience among the mundane world, my sword heart was quietly touched, and today I officially made the breakthrough," Su Youyi nonchalantly commented as if such a breakthrough was nothing noteworthy.

Unlike this klutz, Liang Yi knew that his junior sister’s talent in the Sword Dao was monstrous – the level of her Flawless Sword Technique was definitely much higher than his own. If converted into experience, it would be an astronomical number.

"Then today should be a day worth celebrating. Let’s see what delicious food I can prepare to celebrate," Liang Yi suggested as a cool autumn breeze blew into the room from outside the window. He glanced at the delicate face of his junior sister reflected in the water mirror. Her pale blue dress fluttered in the wind, exuding an indescribable graceful ease, while the faintly emerging powerful Sword Intent reminded everyone of her unparalleled swordsmanship.

A line of poetry suddenly appeared in Liang Yi’s mind:

Lotuses in clear water, resplendent without embellishment.

Such a line of poetry truly complimented his junior sister and resonated deep within him.

"It’s just a breakthrough in Sword Technique; no need for that," Su Youyi replied, twirling a strand of her senior brother’s hair around her finger, slightly embarrassed.

"Really? Then I won’t..." Liang Yi said with a mischievous smile, not believing that his junior sister could so easily resist the temptation.

"Squirrel fish and sweet rice wine balls, thank you for the effort, senior brother~"

Before Liang Yi could finish his sentence, Su Youyi had already listed the dishes she wanted to eat.

Liang Yi smacked his lips, what was it he said again?

"Master! Master!"

Little Yue Bai, with her short legs and a panicked expression, came rushing in, holding a cleaning rag in her hand.

"Calm down, take it slow, what’s the matter?"

Su Youyi squatted down, signaling the little fox to not worry and to get her breathing under control before speaking.

"There’s someone from the Mystic Bureau at the door looking for the master, I’ve asked them to wait in the hall for now."

Influenced by the calmness of Su Youyi and Liang Yi, Yue Bai gradually calmed down as well.

She had seen many from the Mystic Bureau during her travels with her master within the Immortal Dynasty, and found them all to be quite fierce; that’s why she panicked when suddenly spotting them outside the door.

"Is the Immortal Dynasty finally crumbling?"

Liang Yi was not very surprised; in fact, it was almost within his expectations.

"Let’s go and greet our esteemed guests."

With that, Liang Yi stood up with Su Youyi and Yue Bai and headed towards the hall.

····

To the east of Qingliang City, the Chu Family.

"Damn, as expected of Qingliang City, even an obscure official’s family can have such a beautiful daughter," the old lecher Zhao Feng said with a sleazy grin, licking his lips.

At this moment, he was hiding in a concealed spot, looking at the not-too-large estate in Qingliang City and watching people coming in and out, with even Abnormal People mingling among them.

As a notorious flower thief who had been on the wanted list of the Mystic Bureau for years, he daringly arrived in Qingliang City not because he had made a breakthrough, but because he had received a secret commission.

A mysterious person offered him something he couldn’t refuse, tasking him to do something in Qingliang City, the target being the young Miss of this Chu Family.

All he needed to do was abduct the Miss of the Chu Family and hand her over to the mysterious person outside the city, and that individual would naturally take him along. As for the young Miss Chu, the condition was that she just needed to be alive; everything else was fair game.

Zhao Feng wasn’t surprised by the purpose of the person who sought him out; after all, such tasks required someone with expertise, and he, Zhao Feng, was the expert of experts.

Having evaded capture by the Mystic Bureau for so many years, his movement technique and Escape Skill were second to none within his realm. Unless ensnared by a foolproof trap, even a cultivator of the Fifth Realm would have difficulty chasing him down.

However, what he found strange was that the young Miss Chu was so exceptionally beautiful, completely out of the league of the rouged commoners he had despoiled in the past. Yet, he had never heard of her.

But Zhao Feng immediately dismissed the thought from his mind. Why bother with so much thinking, as long as the person is just a cultivator of the Third Realm. He just needs to find an opportunity today to knock her out, take her out of the city, and get the dream prize he’s been after.

With a flicker, Zhao Feng disappeared from sight.

"Eh? I think I just saw a red-named monster," said a player selling his art on the street, scratching his head in puzzlement and telling his buddy next to him.

"You must be going crazy thinking about hunting monsters, hurry up and earn some money to buy equipment and potions, then take up bounties to grind for goodwill with the Immortal Dynasty."

"I’m determined to get into the Mystic Bureau, that Shadow Guard outfit looks so cool."

The player said this, indicating to his friend not to stop, and to proceed quickly.

"Oh, alright then," this player, thinking he must have seen things, continued to swing the gigantic hammer that was bigger than a man, slamming it down on a slate of rock on his buddy’s body, smashing the player under the rock into white light, who then resurrected and ran back.

"Good! That was a solid hit!"

"One more time! One more time!"

"Put some muscle into it, are you not exerting yourself?"

·····

The surrounding natives cheered on, and spiritual coins clinked and clattered as they tipped the two Abnormal People performing a true ’great stone chest-breaking’ act in the street. Spending money to see a show was perfectly normal for them, especially when these two Abnormal People were putting in so much effort.

As for the other players who were watching, they could only feel that the strange performances in Qingliang City had increased again.jpg.
