Status in the Household (Continued)

"What are you waiting for? Hurry up and start writing! The sooner you finish, the sooner you'll be free!"

"Yes, sir."

With superhuman physical strength and willpower, Si Ming wrote for three days and three nights without sleep, finally managing to finish the new volume of the Gods and Ghosts of the Three Kingdoms series. He was so exhausted that he collapsed on the table.

Because you're constantly thinking, it's arguably more tiring than fighting, since sometimes fighting just relies on instinct. This proves that people are indeed driven by necessity.

"Thanks for your hard work."

Auntie Liu tidied up the manuscript, put it in a paper bag, and before leaving the room, said in an approving tone, "Thank you for Qingqing's matter. Although, it was your responsibility."

After everyone left, Si Ming chuckled and said, "It's a responsibility I had to fulfill. I guess this counts as my mother-in-law's approval."

After chuckling to himself for a while, he suddenly realized, "Wait a minute! Now I'm being led by the nose, completely controlled by her. This won't do; I have to find a way to fight back."

Unfortunately, after much thought, I couldn't come up with a useful solution. Unless I planned to take advantage of them and then deny everything, I would have to obediently give in.

"Fortunately Hongdou, Murong Qing, and Yu Shuying don't have in-laws to serve, otherwise they really wouldn't be able to handle it."

On second thought, the reason I was able to get along with them might be because we shared similar experiences. Although I never thought of it that way on the surface, I might subconsciously have the idea of sticking together and licking each other's wounds.

As Si Ming pondered this, he left the room and went to the living room, intending to find something to eat.

"Oh, you look completely drained. Three days and three nights alone in one room, have you finally come to understand the charm of a mature woman?"

The speaker was Yao Bilian, who was wearing a white bathrobe and sitting on the sofa drying her hair with a hairdryer. Although Internal Cultivation masters could use their internal Internal Cultivation to evaporate the water vapor, it would take a lot of effort if they didn't use fire-type internal energy, making it far less convenient than using a hairdryer, even though the hairdryers here didn't have cords and still required the infusion of internal energy.

"From my experience of knowing countless women, don't be fooled by that auntie's seemingly indifferent appearance. She's actually passionate inside, like dried-out firewood that's ready to ignite at any moment. Once her long-dormant body is awakened, it's like a dam releasing its floodgates, unstoppable and enough to make anyone swoon and linger. A young boy like you simply can't resist such charm."

Si Ming glanced at her and said, "You're less than ten years younger than her, so you're practically of the same generation. How dare you call her 'Auntie'?"

The prevailing trend in this era was early marriage and childbirth. Only college students or promising martial artists would postpone their marriages. Just like scholars and officials in ancient times, it was common for them to marry in their thirties or forties if they had the opportunity to pass the imperial examinations. Otherwise, twenty years old was roughly the average age for childbearing.

Among all the countries, only the Su State and Germany have a tradition of late marriage and late childbirth. The former entered the industrial age early, which lowered the birth rate and delayed the average age of marriage. The latter advocates nature, does not want to be bound by marriage, and prefers the relationship of dao companion rather than a simple husband and wife.

Modern Germany are somewhat like the so-called "Daoist youth" on Earth. They typically travel the world, have many friends, and their martial arts skills give them the survival abilities of a food god Bear, rather than the unfortunate hikers who get stranded in the mountains and have to wait for rescue after a spontaneous trip. However, they don't actively pursue romantic relationships, claiming to follow the philosophy of Unity of Heaven and Man. Whether they find a partner or not is entirely up to fate. In short, it's "Whatever, whatever, whatever, don't bother me, don't cling to me, I'm going to heaven."

Auntie Liu is not from Su State, but from Russia. Although her exact age is unknown, based on the average childbearing age of Russia being under twenty, she should be under forty now, which is the same age as Yao Bilian. That's why Si Ming said they were of the same generation.

"I'm of the same generation as you, so of course I should respect my elders."

As Yao Bilian spoke, she crossed her legs, which, given her current attire, was nothing short of blatant seduction.

After three days of hard work, Si Ming's willpower was clearly insufficient. In addition, he was young and Blood Qi and could not withstand stimulation. He suddenly felt Ruyi Golden Cudgel Monkey Sun was yelling "Big Big...

Yao Bilian smiled smugly and said, "How about it? Have you felt the charm of a mature older sister?"

Si Ming was incredibly embarrassed and angry. Honestly, he had no feelings for Yao Bilian. He wasn't Cao Mengde, who had a penchant for married women. But love and lust were two different things. Moreover, his body was full of Essence Blood, and he practiced the fire-attribute Blazing Yang Battle Art, which made him extremely vulnerable to provocation. He usually suppressed his desires by refining his essence into qi, but now, after three days without practice, his resistance had dropped to its lowest point, and he felt an urge to unleash a devastating attack.

It should be understood that Yang essence itself is also a kind of vital energy, and it is a very Higher Vehicle -quality vital energy. The principle of the Virgin Boy Technique lies in this. Both are about refining essence into vital energy, but the Virgin Boy Technique is more efficient.

Laymen often think that practicing the Virgin Boy Technique " must be very uncomfortable, like a wild bear tied with a thin rope, which can be easily aroused by any provocation. In fact, those who cultivate essence into qi are in a "wise state" at all times, feeling extremely comfortable. As soon as desire arises, it is dissolved. It is impossible for them to be provoked unless they are given drugs.

While circulating his internal energy, Si Ming retorted, "It flashed by in an instant, and it was dark. What charm could it possibly have?"

"Bullshit! My lips have never been touched by a man before. They're clearly pink and tender, like cherry blossoms, don't you understand?"

"Perhaps what I'm witnessing is a conspiracy."

"That's even more impossible. I cultivate the White Tiger Heart Sutra; there's no way I could be involved in any conspiracy."

Who on earth invented such a boring Internal Cultivation?!

Si Ming didn't want to continue arguing with Yao Bilian. Because his imagination was too vivid, he couldn't help but let his mind wander and have wild thoughts. Monkey Sun seemed to have become Li Yunlong, shouting, "Second Battalion Commander, where the hell is your Italian cannon? Laozi Italian cannon is about to explode, do you know that?!"

With great difficulty, Si Ming managed to calm his boiling Qi and Blood and regain his composure by focusing on the fried rice. He didn't dare go back to the living room, so he took the pot and a large ladle in the kitchen and ate the fried rice clean.

When Si Ming returned to the living room after mentally preparing himself, he found that Yao Bilian had changed her clothes. Although it was a suggestive high-slit dress, it was at least much safer than the previous blatant provocation. Moreover, Murong Qing and Hongdou were also in the living room.

After exchanging greetings, Murong Qing took out an invitation and handed it to Si Ming, saying, "This is an invitation to our high school reunion. We are planning a gathering."

A class reunion?

The moment Si Ming saw the post, a series of scenarios of being humiliated and showing off immediately flashed through his mind. However, he quickly shook his head, banishing those unrealistic thoughts. Real-life class reunions don't offer that many opportunities for people to be humiliated and show off; at most, they might "break up one couple at a time."

Comparison is inevitable, but the vast majority of their class went to university and are still students, not yet working. It would be ridiculous for them to flaunt their career achievements. At most, they might boast about how rich their parents are, but these privileged children won't buy it.

On Earth, money is everything. Rich kids can proudly declare that Laozi starting point is their destination. But in the Sea Continent, money can't compare to power, and power can't compare to fists. No matter how rich your family is, I can kill you with one Laozi. What's there to brag about? A high level of education equals good martial arts skills. You can't argue with that.

Si Ming thought for a moment, unable to find a reason not to go, and then said, "Then let's go together."

Hongdou raised her hand and said, "I want to go too."

Murong Qing said, "You're not in our class, what would you be doing there?"

Hongdou hugged Si Ming's arm and said, "I can go as a family member."

"No, if you become my spouse, I won't be able to announce our relationship, and my classmates will laugh at me."

Murong Qing refused. She planned to announce to her classmates that she and Si Ming had become lovers after graduation and gotten married, and then accept everyone's blessings if her classmates asked. If Hongdou interfered, it would change the whole story.

Hongdou blinked and said, "I don't care."

"Of course I care, but you don't care because he's not your classmate."

"Even if he's my classmate, I don't care."
