Banshee Family Training Record

Page 21

No, Fourth Sister has been taking care of him. There's no explicit rule about this in the family right now, what if Fourth Sister insists on protecting him later…

No, we still need to give Fourth Sister a heads-up first, to make her understand that there are such rules in the family. She is a son-in-law who married into the family, yet she still seduces other sisters. She should be drowned in a pig cage!

Hmm, I'll go find Fourth Sister. Perfect timing, it's time to collect my spirit stones for this month.

Thinking this, she turned and ran towards Zhu Yunqing's cave. Orange-red illusory koi fish circled around her. She was incredibly fast, even without using the "Shrinking Earth to an Inch" technique, she was still quite fast.

She traversed mountains, rivers, and rocks until she arrived at the entrance to Zhu Yunqing's cave. Utilizing her agility as a little fox, she effortlessly slipped inside, running and leaping among the enormous spiderwebs, calling out, "Fourth Sister, Fourth Sister!"

A crisp sound echoed through the cave, quickly reaching its depths. The surrounding spiderwebs trembled violently, and a gigantic blue spider, the size of an elephant, scrambled along its eight legs, speeding towards them: "Colorful Flame? What is it?"

She hung upside down on the spider web that stretched across the air, her head tilted back, eight dark eyes staring at the little fox on the ground.

Chapter 39 Dealing with Hua Caiyan

Hua Caiyan looked up. Even though she had seen her fourth sister's true form many times, she still felt lingering fear every time she saw it, afraid that the other sister would suddenly open her mouth and eat her up: "Fourth sister, let's talk in human form. I'm scared of you like this."

Before she could finish speaking, flames erupted from her body, and she transformed back into human form. Zhu Yunqing didn't say much. She jumped off the spider web, her body turning into wisps of green smoke. Once she landed, she too transformed back into human form: "Just say what you have to say."

Her expression wasn't very good. She had always felt that her mischievous little vixen sister was difficult to control, hence her poor attitude.

The fox spirit greeted her with a smile, not directly stating her purpose, but instead taking out her recent haul from her storage bag: "Fourth Sister, I've come to bring you medicinal herbs. Look, these are the meat-ganoderma, snow rabbit bones, and three-winter worms I've painstakingly gathered these past few days..."

She displayed her achievements one by one, showing that she hadn't been just playing around all day and that she had been working hard to contribute to the family. Zhu Yunqing's expression softened a bit. After taking stock of them, she put them away and said, "That's more like it. The family usually doesn't interfere with you, but you still have to be more self-aware."

Hua Caiyan greeted her with a smile, taking her arm in hers: "Of course I know better. I just didn't remember the family rules before. Our family hasn't been around for very long, and there are still many gaps in the rules. I didn't know what to do..."

Zhu Yunqing realized there was an underlying meaning in her words, but remained calm and asked, "Oh? What other blanks do you think there are?"

Hua Caiyan thought everything was going smoothly, and continued, "For example, some people are dishonest. They are already married, but they still seduce others and have two relationships at the same time... Oh, or it could be the other way around. In short, they mess around with these relationships and end up causing their families to turn against each other..."

"There has to be a way to deal with this kind of thing, right?"

Zhu Yunqing narrowed his eyes, making them appear somewhat long and narrow: "If that's really the case, then he should indeed be punished. What do you think should be the best punishment?"

Hua Caiyan was so happy she almost jumped up: "Of course it's being drowned in a pig cage! Fourth Sister, you should know what 'drowning in a pig cage' means, right? It means..."

Zhu Yunqing waved his hand and said, "Of course I know. Don't worry, if such a thing really happened, I will not tolerate it."

“However…” she changed the subject, her eyes narrowing again, “If I find out that this is a conspiracy by someone else, I will not cover it up and will investigate it thoroughly!”

Upon hearing this, the fox spirit immediately turned her head away, feeling embarrassed and guilty: "Hahaha, how could that be? These things only work if both parties are willing. What does it have to do with anyone else..."

As she spoke, seemingly sensing that Zhu Yunqing's gaze was too stern, she quickly added, "Besides, some members are still beneficial to the family, unlike some who just occupy family resources and are essentially useless freeloaders..."

Having figured out what her fourth sister was thinking, she didn't plan to linger. She intended to collect the spirit stones and then make a quick getaway: "Oh, by the way, fourth sister, I'm here to collect this month's cultivation allowance. I'm about to break through, and then I can venture deeper into the mountains to gather and hunt even rarer medicinal herbs..."

She abruptly changed the subject, and Zhu Yunqing squinted at her, suddenly having an idea.

“Okay,” she said, reaching into her sleeve and taking out a spirit stone pouch, which she handed to her. “Please use it.”

Hua Caiyan took it without thinking anything of it, but after infusing it with spiritual energy and counting it, she froze on the spot: "Ten thousand spirit stones?!"

Her eyes widened, and her heart pounded even harder than before. Although her cultivation level was relatively high, allowing her to venture deep into the mountains and easily access places inaccessible to others, such as gathering rare medicinal herbs and hunting exotic beasts, she was still deeply affected.

However, her family was not large to begin with, and she was too lazy to learn skills that required hard work and long hours. She always handed over the raw materials she hunted to Zhu Yunqing to process.

Therefore, Zhu Yunqing only gave her two thousand low-grade spirit stones each month for cultivation resources, and the most she ever received was no more than three thousand.

As for today, why were you suddenly so generous, giving away 10,000 with a wave of your hand?

Seeing the shocked look in her fifth sister's eyes, Zhu Yunqing raised an eyebrow and deliberately asked, "What, you think it's not enough?"

Hua Caiyan shook her head repeatedly: "No, no, no, how could that be? Of course it's not that it's too little, it's on the contrary, it's too much, this..."

She swallowed hard, feeling the spirit stones in her hands were too hot to handle, and she didn't dare to actually accept them.

After hesitating for a moment, she asked cautiously, "Fourth Sister, why did you suddenly give so much this time? Is there... something wrong at home?"

Zhu Yunqing said, "Is it a lot? Oh, it's not a small amount, but it doesn't matter, it's not my money anyway."

She adopted a matter-of-fact expression, which only piqued Hua Caiyan's curiosity even more: "Not yours? Then... Third Sister woke up? Second Sister... Oh, Second Sister is impossible, is it Eldest Sister? Did she suddenly become rich?"

Upon hearing this, the spider demon chuckled: "If you're going to get rich, big sister, it'll have to be mid-grade spirit stones. Can you afford those?"

This is the truth. The density of spiritual energy in mid-grade spirit stones is too high. Even a cultivator at the ninth level of Qi Refining could burn their meridians if they used them carelessly, causing their cultivation level to drop instead of rise.

Hua Caiyan realized she was just guessing. She tugged at Zhu Yunqing's sleeve with her little hand and swayed it back and forth, putting on a pitiful look: "Whose is it? My dear sister, stop keeping me in suspense and tell me quickly."

Seeing that it was about time, Zhu Yunqing said, "These are all spirit stones that Yun Chuan earned."

These words caused Hua Caiyan to freeze in place, her hand ceasing its shaking of her sleeve: "Who? Him?"

“It’s him, our family’s new son-in-law, Seventh Sister’s husband, Yun Chu’an,” Zhu Yunqing said. “He has learned how to make explosive talismans. He made a batch a few days ago, and I took him to the lakeside market of the Dragon King’s family in the Wei River to sell them. He was lucky and made a small profit.”

Her tone was nonchalant: "Guess how much he made that day?"

Hua Caiyan stared blankly at the spirit stones in her hand, thinking to herself that if she could get ten thousand for me, he must have gotten more, at least double that amount, so…

"Twenty...twenty thousand?" she asked tentatively, her tone uncertain.

"It's seventy thousand!" Zhu Yunqing stopped being mysterious and revealed the answer directly. These words struck the vixen like a bolt from the blue: "How much?!"

“Seventy…seventy thousand?!”

Her voice was shrill, and by the end, it was even distorted and deformed.

“Yes,” Zhu Yunqing said. “Oh, of course, it wasn’t entirely his doing. Your sixth and seventh sisters also helped him a lot in the process.”

"However, overall, he was still the main one. The three of them worked together and in less than ten days, they earned 70,000 spirit stones for the family."

Hua Caiyan was agitated and couldn't believe it at all: "Impossible! A mere explosive talisman is just a basic talisman. How could he sell it for such a high price?"

Zhu Yunqing laughed: "Then let's go for volume. You can go to his workshop and take a look yourself. He invented a machine that can print a new detonating talisman just by pushing it like this."

She made a pushing motion on the roller and continued, "In short, the three of them have not only earned 70,000 low-grade spirit stones for the family, but they can also earn that many more in the next ten days."

A smile played on her lips, and her tone grew increasingly meaningful: "Caiyan, think carefully. Who is the one who has contributed the least to the family right now, who just freeloads all day and is the most useless to the family?"

Hua Caiyan hadn't recovered from the shock she'd just felt when she heard this, and she jolted awake. Following Zhu Yunqing's train of thought, her pupils immediately contracted.

First, we exclude all family members above the Foundation Establishment stage, as they are the cornerstone of the family's combat power. What remains is just me, Liu Mengshen, Qi Qiao, and Yun Chuan. We will choose from the four of us.

But as Fourth Sister just said, it was through the combined efforts of the three of them that they managed to amass 70,000 spirit stones in ten days. Everyone deserves credit, so...

Am I actually the most useless and least contributing piece of trash in the family?!

Chapter 40 Liu Mengshen Takes the Initiative

Hua Caiyan found it unbelievable. Although it sounded outrageous and hard to accept, that seemed to be the reality.

Looking into her wide eyes, Zhu Yunqing's gaze became even more amused.

“So,” she said meaningfully, “if I found out that the rising star in the family, a money-making prodigy, had suddenly committed an unforgivable mistake, or suffered an accident—and coincidentally, there was someone who was always targeting him, openly or secretly, from every angle…”

"Rainbow Flame, what do you think I should suspect at this moment?"

The barrage of explosive information overwhelmed the vixen, leaving her momentarily speechless. Zhu Yunqing's words caught her completely off guard, and upon hearing them, her face filled with terror. She waved her hands and retreated repeatedly, stammering, "No, Fourth Sister, I didn't! I just hate him! I really didn't deliberately plot anything against him..."

Zhu Yunqing didn't believe it at all, and her tone became no longer gentle: "You better not have deliberately plotted this, but in any case, if anything happens to Yun Chu'an during this period, just wait, I will definitely hold you accountable first!"

Hua Caiyan was on the verge of tears: "Fourth Sister, I usually have to go deep into the mountains to pick medicinal herbs and hunt exotic beasts. How can I have time to be his nanny?"

Zhu Yunqing turned her face away, not looking at her: "I don't care, anyway he usually doesn't go out, he just stays in his workshop either cultivating supernatural powers or printing talismans."

“At home, he should theoretically be safe from any trouble, so if anything happens, it must be your doing, and I will hold you responsible.”

Leaving those words behind, she said no more, flicked her sleeve, and turned to walk into the cave: "Go back and cultivate. These ten thousand spirit stones should be enough for you to cultivate for a while."

After saying that, her body disappeared, giving Hua Caiyan no chance to cry and beg for mercy. On the spot, the fox spirit stomped her foot, feeling indignant. Just thinking of Yun Chu'an's face made her grit her teeth in hatred.

Damn it, how did that human with such low cultivation level suddenly become Fourth Sister's prized possession?

He even said that if something happened to him, I would be responsible. I... wait!

Suddenly, she realized something.

Liu Mengshen has probably gone to find him by now. If Qi Qiao discovers their affair, a conflict might break out...

Then I'm doomed!

Realizing this, Hua Caiyan was immediately terrified.

Absolutely, Qi Qiao must not find out about what happened between them!

Thinking of this, she dared not delay any longer, turned around and transformed back into her fox form, and ran all the way out of the cave!

At this moment, it was already afternoon, evening. Yun Chu'an was still practicing his "shrinking the earth to an inch" supernatural power. On the way up and down the mountain, he deliberately chose the most rugged and dangerous places to walk on, stepping on the loose stones and the branches that were about to wither, walking back and forth on the cliff.

He was very aware of the dangers. He knew that if he encountered a battle in the future, the enemy would not specifically choose a terrain suitable for him to use magic to escape. Therefore, he had to adapt to all terrains so that he could start escaping at any time.

"call……"

He climbed up the cliff and finally jumped up, landing steadily, drenched in sweat. Even though he was only wearing a coarse cloth vest, the weather was so hot that he had to keep pulling at it to cool down.

After two months of arduous training, his physique became increasingly well-proportioned and athletic. He was already tall, and having grown up in modern society, he had no shortage of nutrition, resulting in a good foundation for his muscles and skeletal structure. Now, as he embarked on the path of cultivation, with a little more exercise, the muscle lines on his shoulders and arms became more and more pronounced, as if meticulously sculpted by a master, ultimately forming a perfect human body.

At this moment, the sweat from the intense exercise flowed between the angular muscles, making him appear even stronger.

Before him lay a dense forest, somewhat darkened by the setting sun. Beyond this forest lay his dwelling. He fanned himself, sweating, and stepped inside, intending to awaken Qi Qiao. But he had only taken a few steps when a faint female voice suddenly rang out: "Yun Chu'an—"

He stopped in his tracks, turned his head to look at the source of the sound, and saw a petite little girl, not very tall, waving and calling out as she ran towards him.

She had long, black hair that reached her hips, and a joyful smile on her delicate face. She was wearing only a thin, light blue cotton nightgown and wooden slippers, exposing her fair little feet and rounded toes, allowing him to see them to his heart's content.

The girl looked somewhat unfamiliar, only her voice seemed familiar. Yun Chu'an narrowed his eyes, then suddenly a flash of inspiration struck him, and he remembered who she was.

"Sixth Sister?!" he exclaimed, his voice filled with surprise and delight. "You've successfully transformed into human form?"

Ahead, Liu Mengshen, running towards him, saw his sweat-drenched appearance and suddenly stared intently. She had just transformed into human form and was still unclear about many things, but this did not prevent the method from taking effect, gradually changing her physical and mental state and emotional tendencies.

So now, seeing the man she likes with his bare, muscular shoulders and arms, glistening with sweat from intense exercise, this scene bursting with masculine hormones immediately ignited her emotions.

She could barely control her desires and had no concept of the modesty of a young girl, just like the day she lured Yun Chuan into her dream and then forcibly kissed him inside.

At this moment, all she wanted was to possess this man.

Suddenly, she leaped up and pounced on Yun Chu'an, wrapping her arms around his neck like a koala, clinging to him.

She couldn't control herself and pressed her lips against his face, initiating a kiss on his cheek.

The girl's warm lips pressed against his skin, her soft body nestled in his arms, the wonderful sensation sending waves through him.

He could even feel that, through a thin cotton nightgown, her two tender, bamboo shoot-shaped breasts pressed against the muscles of his chest, their tips poking at him, making him immediately aware of what they were.

Normally, with the fabric in between, he shouldn't feel anything like this, but now that he had just finished exercising, his body was in a state of excitement and alertness, and the girl's jade-like arms were wrapped around his neck, pressing her tightly against him.

Therefore, her not-so-large, soft breasts now displayed amazing elasticity, pressing against his chest and making him feel it even more clearly.

Yun Chu'an's breathing gradually became heavy, because he was very aware of what was pressing on his chest, and what those two slightly protruding points were that were pressing against his chest.

It was precisely this clear understanding that fueled the raging lust within him. He felt a wild, untamed fire coursing through his veins, consuming his reason and threatening to overwhelm him!

However, he knew very well that Qi Qiao and Liu Mengshen's cultivation levels were both higher than his own, and he simply couldn't handle this blessing of having two women. Recklessly reaching out would only bring him trouble and create unmanageable problems!

Not to mention, there's a vixen secretly watching him, ready to pick a fight at any moment. He doesn't want Hua Caiyan to find fault with him because of this!

"Sixth Sister, please don't do this!"

He instinctively embraced her soft body, but quickly withdrew his hands and tried to push her away.

But Liu Meng's mind was made up. She had no ambition and no intention of cultivating the transformation technique. She had worked hard to learn and train for so long, all for this day. How could she give up?

Seeing that Yun Chuan still wanted to resist, she made a hand gesture, and a willow branch suddenly appeared out of thin air, wrapped around his ankle, and Yun Chuan immediately lost his balance and fell backward to the ground.

The thick grass growing behind him meant the fall didn't hurt. But because of it, both of them fell to the ground and rolled around in the grass in the woods.

It was like a tender embrace.

Liu Meng hugged him and rolled around a few times, naturally gaining the upper hand and pressing down on him.

Her arms were still wrapped around his neck, and she pouted, stubbornly saying, "What's wrong with you? Why are you acting like this today?"

She sat up slightly, looked down at Yun Chu'an's face, and looked directly into his eyes. What she mentioned was what happened in the dream that day.

That day, they were completely honest with each other in their dreams, embracing each other naked, and Liu Mengshen even gave him her first kiss.

She thought everything was settled and that today's union was a natural progression, but she never expected that Yun Chu'an would suddenly become resistant.

Feeling guilty, Yun Chu'an turned her head away, not daring to look her in the eye: "After all, I'm already married to Qi Qiao, Sixth Sister, this isn't right, she'll find out..."

Even so, at this moment, the girl's tender body was straddling his waist, and he knew that she was in a vacuum inside, with only a layer of fabric separating the soft flesh of her delicate thighs from him.

Because she was leaning forward at the moment, the neckline of her nightgown was slightly lowered by gravity, and Yun Chuan only needed to raise his head slightly to see the beautiful spring scenery on her chest.
