Chapter 44: Masked Uncle is Bathing!

“Junior Sister, don’t worry. The rules of the Sect Competition only allow disciples below the Martial Emperor Realm to participate. He won’t be able to join.”

Hearing this, Feng Wanqing felt completely relieved, as if the heavy atmosphere had been swept away.

If they could arrange for Han Yue to compete against her, it would be even more interesting.

She even began to imagine the scene where the arrogant woman would kneel at her feet, weeping and begging for mercy. How satisfying that would be!

Feng Siyue already had many spirit stones given by her masters, and with the additional ones from the Wandao Chamber of Commerce today, she thought it should be enough.

So, she took the two kids directly to negotiate the purchase of the land around the library.

Although Jiaoyang City was once the territory of the Tianmen Sword Sect, the sect had been in decline for hundreds of years. The power dynamics in the city were complex, and it was impossible to reclaim the land with just words.

She was able to get the library because of the demonic energy leak from the sword tomb. The Vice Principal had to return the library to her to protect the academy’s reputation.

The Vice Principal had hoped that she wouldn’t use the Heavenly Mystery Sword to suppress the demonic energy, planning to take the land back later. Unfortunately for him, Feng Siyue didn’t draw the Heavenly Mystery Sword.

Feng Siyue thought buying the land would be troublesome, but things turned out to be much smoother than she expected.

When she proposed buying the surrounding shops, the owners agreed on the price and happily handed over the deeds.

“Mother, I think Masked Uncle must have sent someone to negotiate in advance,” Little Tangguo said, stroking his chin thoughtfully.

Feng Siyue pinched his little face. “You’re such a clever little one.”

Indeed, besides Xuan Shang, it couldn’t be anyone else.

That day, only he and Lu Chen knew about her plan, and only he had the power to make things go so smoothly. It was possible that these shops were already under his control.

Having received such a great favor, it was only right to go back and thank him.

“Mifan, my precious, I remember you have several jars of spirit honey. Please take one to Uncle Xuan later.”

“Ah? Okay.”

Mifan was reluctant. She loved sweets, and those jars of spirit honey were hard to come by, given by her grandmaster.

But Masked Uncle did good deeds without seeking recognition, and he seemed like a nice person. Giving him a jar was fine.

Back at the sect, Feng Siyue went to her room first. Seeing Lan Yi, Mili and Little Tangguo immediately asked, “Uncle Lan Yi, where’s Uncle Xuan?”

“Oh, the master is taking a bath right now.”

Lan Yi seemed to have something to attend to and left after saying that.

Mifan and Little Tangguo’s eyes lit up with a mischievous idea.

“Mother, Uncle Lan Yi just said that Uncle Xuan has something to tell you. Why don’t you take this jar of spirit honey to him?”

Feng Siyue had just settled into a lounge chair and didn’t feel like moving. “No, if it’s not important, we can talk about it tomorrow.”

Mifan tugged at her. “Come on, Mother, it might be something important! My brother and I will go make you some rice wine dumplings. You can have them when you come back!”

Hearing about the rice wine dumplings, Feng Siyue perked up a bit. The rice wine dumplings made by Little Tangguo, with taro balls and fruit pieces, were very refreshing.

She stood up with Mifan’s help and followed her out, instructing, “Remember to add ice and lots of crushed hawthorn!”

“Got it, Mother!”

Mifan pulled her mother to Uncle Xuan’s door, then used her spiritual power to push the door open and shoved her mother inside.

Bang!

The door closed again.

Feng Siyue: !!!!

My child, what mischief are you up to now?

“Who is it?”

A cold voice came from inside.

Feng Siyue, holding the honey jar, was unsure whether to go in or out. She realized that it wasn’t the man who wanted to see her, but her children who had tricked her into coming here!

However, she faintly heard the sound of water and her dark eyes lit up—he’s bathing?

Mifan, you are truly your mother’s little treasure!

Knowing how much she desired Uncle Xuan’s presence!

Such a good opportunity, now that she was here, how could she miss it?

“It’s me. My daughter said you had something important to tell me, right?”

Feng Siyue’s tone was filled with confusion, but her steps quickened as she headed towards the source of the sound.

As soon as she entered the inner room, she saw a large bath, and Di Xuan Shang was leaning against the edge of the pool, exposing his broad shoulders and… solid chest muscles.

The rest was hidden by the water, but she could faintly see the sexy V-line…

Indeed, broad shoulders and a narrow waist, what a perfect clothes hanger body. Muscular when undressed, slim when dressed, absolutely stunning!

“Your daughter was mistaken. I have nothing to tell you.”

Di Xuan Shang frowned, feeling that the woman’s gaze was too bold.

“Ah? Is that so? This little girl must be punished. I have to give her a good spanking!”

Feng Siyue said, but instead of going back, she took a step towards the bath.

Feng Siyue had always been good at judging people.

But Di Xuan Shang’s figure was even more impressive than she had imagined, a top-tier among top-tiers.

Since she had already barged in, it would be a loss not to take a good look, right?

So, before Di Xuan Shang could stop her, she said with a smile, “My two treasures can be a bit naughty. Please don’t mind them. This is some honey that Mifan treasures. To express our gratitude to you, she specifically asked me to bring it to you.”

Di Xuan Shang understood what she meant by gratitude. He said calmly, “I am a member of the Tianmen Sword Sect and it is my duty to help. There is no need for thanks. If Miss Han Yue has nothing else, please leave.”

He had no interest in being admired while bathing.

Feng Siyue smiled and said, “I didn’t have anything else to do, but now I do.”

She placed the honey on the table and walked straight towards Di Xuan Shang.

Di Xuan Shang frowned tightly and said coldly, “I told you to leave, or else…”

“Or else you might accidentally hurt me?”

Feng Siyue placed her hand on his shoulder, feeling the icy touch that confirmed her guess.

As soon as she entered, she noticed that the temperature here was much lower than outside. The bath was not filled with hot water but cold water mixed with Xuan Ice, and there were likely many spiritual herbs added to it. Although the smell was faint, the spiritual energy was extremely abundant.

He wasn’t bathing; he was suppressing something.

“Don’t come close to me.”

Di Xuan Shang closed his eyes, trying hard to restrain the violent impulses in his bloodline.

Feng Siyue took a step back, her dark eyes gleaming as she activated her special eye technique.

In the Ghost Realm, her masters had honed her eye techniques to the extreme. The seventh master from the Divine Medicine Valley taught her to use her eyes to detect abnormalities in the human body. With this technique, she could almost always identify the source of an illness.

Sure enough, under her eye technique, she saw black qi resembling earthworms moving through Di Xuan Shang’s meridians.

At first glance, it seemed like demonic energy.
