Dao Sect Junior Uncle

"'Sword Refining Art' Experience Points +50."

"'Sword Refining Art' Experience Points +50."

"."

Every so often, Chu Huai Xu gained Experience Points because of the combined effects of the Water Blade and Body Tempering Potion.

But his mind wasn't entirely focused on that.

He was still a little distracted.

Han Shuangjiang was soaked from head to toe.

Her outer robe, inner robe, and even the undergarments closest to her skin were all clinging tightly to her snowy-white flesh.

After getting wet, her undergarments had even wedged themselves between her buttocks.

On top of that, the Water Blades were merciless yet oddly considerate, slicing her with perfect precision.

As the tattered clothes were scoured by the current, patches of skin would occasionally be exposed.

Chu Huai Xu could tell that she had cool, pale skin.

Once touched by clear water, it looked even whiter.

The only flaw was that the water in the pool was a faint bluish-black. Though the color wasn't deep, it wasn't clear either.

It obstructed the view, giving the parts submerged underwater a hazy quality.

Yet the hazier it was, the more it magnified even the slightest contact, making one's imagination run wild.

To be honest, during this time, Chu Huai Xu hadn't had many thoughts of a romantic or sexual nature toward the peerlessly beautiful woman before him.

He had only just crossed over, and he felt a faint sense of estrangement from the entire Xuanhuang Realm.

Sometimes, he even treated it like a game rather than a real world.

In addition, because of his profession, he had a slight aversion to women, so he had even less interest in that sort of thing.

But skin-to-skin contact really did produce an indescribable effect.

It was like how some people grew up with a stunningly beautiful childhood friend and came to regard her as one of the guys.

Yet once they accidentally experienced some unusual physical contact, their friendship could very well change!

They would start thinking: How had I never noticed how great her figure was?

How had I never noticed how fair her skin was?

How had I never noticed how beautiful her lips were?

The body has a terrifying power of its own!

Perhaps that was why so many people liked to mention the term "physiological attraction."

And the reason Chu Huai Xu hadn't minded the awkwardness just now and had directly told her not to move was simple.

Men and women were different. There were certain physical reactions he couldn't conceal.

Even if Han Shuangjiang's family was truly wealthy, and she happened to suffer some kind of mishap while soaking in the water, it wouldn't matter much.

But Chu Huai Xu was different. Since the two of them were pressed close together, it was easy for him to bump into her.

If he really became stimulated to that extent and she noticed, that would be a true social death!

That was why he had spoken up to warn her. If she refused to behave, then it was her own fault.

In any case, he was determined to remain blameless.

The ambiguous atmosphere continued to ferment, to the point that both of them nearly forgot they were undergoing the senior's trial.

Han Shuangjiang could now dodge most of the Water Blades, while Chu Huai Xu simply wasn't afraid of pain.

Moreover, his wounds seemed to recover faster than hers, which was somewhat strange as well.

Even stranger was that although the medicinal fragrance was extremely strong, he felt as if he could smell the clean fragrance from her body.

More often than not, the more handsome the man and the more beautiful the woman, the more dangerous it was when the atmosphere accidentally reached that point!

Chu Huai Xu studied her from the corner of his eye. At that moment, he felt that Han Shuangjiang perfectly fit the description of "beautiful face and graceful figure."

Moreover, she wasn't the delicate, demure type of beauty. She possessed a more imposing sort of beauty.

Her face was no longer so cold, giving her a touch of radiant charm.

If he lowered his gaze, he could also discover that she was quite well-endowed. Her two full, rounded breasts were half submerged in the water and half exposed, revealing just the right amount of cleavage.

Time passed second by second. Every so often, the number of Water Blades increased.

After hesitating for a long while, Han Shuangjiang was the first to break the silence. "Are you sure that once we endure long enough, this round of the trial will end?"

"I'm sure." Chu Huai Xu spoke in a deep voice.

For some reason, his voice seemed rougher than usual now.

"Oh." She answered, then tried her best to draw her full, plump buttocks farther inward.

At that moment, both of them had their palms gripping protrusions in the underwater stone wall.

Han Shuangjiang didn't know why Chu Huai Xu was so certain that this round of the trial was a matter of enduring for time.

Still, she chose to believe him.

Little did she know that in Chu Huai Xu's eyes, the senior who had designed this trial was truly vicious.

An ordinary person's Pain Threshold wouldn't be as absurdly high as his.

When faced with "underwater dismemberment," if they couldn't find a way to break through it, they would certainly choose to swim back and get out of the water first.

After all, they could think while on shore. There was no reason that being cut by blades underwater would make their thoughts clearer.

Once they reentered the water, though—hey! The countdown would restart!

If they didn't endure for the full half hour, they would never discover the way to break through the trial!

"What an old pervert. Does he really enjoy torturing people that much?" Chu Huai Xu couldn't understand what this person's original intention was.

At that moment, Han Shuangjiang's cheeks were slightly flushed as she glanced at Chu Huai Xu's arms encircling her.

His sleeves had already been cut to shreds by the Water Blades.

Doesn't he feel any pain at all? she wondered.

After hesitating for a while longer, Han Shuangjiang spoke again. "Are you really all right?"

For some reason, Chu Huai Xu answered in an especially affected tone. "I'm fine. I can endure it."

"Oh." Han Shuangjiang gave the same response aloud.

But inwardly, she thought: Since he's enduring it, it must be extremely difficult and painful, right?

But to her, the prolonged silence between them was even more uncomfortable.

There was another concern, too. What if someone else came in?

Liu Chengqi and his group were still trapped outside.

But no one could be sure that someone wouldn't suddenly break in.

If that happened, the rather intimate scene underwater would be seen by outsiders.

That was something she absolutely couldn't accept.

Therefore, Han Shuangjiang was extremely nervous.

Anyone who knew the subject understood that the more dangerous a man-woman situation was, the more sensitive and stimulating it became.

This unusual sensation left her somewhat at a loss, and her delicate body grew hotter.

"How much longer?" Han Shuangjiang asked again, forcing a topic.

"About the time it takes an incense stick to burn," Chu Huai Xu replied.

"How do you know?"

"Don't ask. You wouldn't understand even if I told you."

"If you don't tell me, how do you know I won't understand?" She turned her head and questioned him with a frown.

As a result, her body moved, and under the influence of buoyancy, she couldn't control herself properly. She rubbed against Chu Huai Xu once again.

Chu Huai Xu was startled and hurriedly thrust his buttocks backward, warning his little brother inwardly not to rise.

Damn it, I came here to seize an opportunity, not for my dick to beg for alms!

Realizing that she had made another mistake, Han Shuangjiang quickly turned her head back. Her body stiffened, and the plump flesh of her buttocks grew increasingly numb.

The two of them fell silent again, barely able to exchange a few words.

Chu Huai Xu had heard her attempt to start a conversation several times. He understood perfectly well: how could an experienced companion not know that she wanted to ease the awkwardness through conversation and shift her attention?

If they remained in such silence, the physical feedback would only become more pronounced!

He did have a topic he had wanted to discuss with her, but he hadn't found a suitable opportunity.

Now, perhaps he could take advantage of her situation?

"I've had a question I've wanted to ask you for a long time," he suddenly said.

Han Shuangjiang came to her senses as if waking from a dream. "Ah? Go ahead."

"Where did you encounter that Storyteller?" Chu Huai Xu had unexpectedly joined the Dao Sect and needed more information.

"In Willow County." She didn't hide it.

"What impression did he leave on you?" He continued probing from another angle.

"I can't really say. He felt like a Great Cultivator who enjoyed roaming the mortal world." Han Shuangjiang answered.

"Why do you think that?" he asked again.

Han Shuangjiang had been hoping to chat anyway, so naturally she told him everything she knew.

"He just seemed a little unreliable. Whenever there was a reflective surface, he seemed unable to resist looking at himself in it." Her answer was rather tactful.

Chu Huai Xu understood. The man was simply unbelievably vain.

It was like back when he was studying. Some boys who cared about their appearance especially loved fussing over their hairstyles in the restroom. Some would even buy a small mirror and keep it in their desks.

But he had no inclination to laugh now.

The reason was simple: he had already guessed who this person was.

"He had Li Chunsong personally descend the mountain to receive him, enjoyed roaming the mortal world, and was that vain..."

"More importantly, he was extremely vain!"

"That Storyteller was very likely the Junior Uncle of Li Chunsong and the others!"

A former Ninth Realm cultivator, a figure who had once stood at the pinnacle of the mortal world!

After arriving at the Dao Sect, Chu Huai Xu had actually felt a powerful sense of insecurity.

After all, he knew very well that Liu Chunsong—the dead gambling dog—had made a mistake.

Through a series of coincidences, he had brought Chu Huai Xu up the mountain, causing him to switch scripts with Xu Ziqing.

The truth would come to light sooner or later.

Although Chu Huai Xu had laid some groundwork earlier and emphasized that he had never even met any Storyteller,

those were nothing more than minor tricks.

Before a true giant of cultivation, all such cleverness was futile.

But what if, through a series of coincidences, what you had picked up was a pearl covered in dust?

What if, after wiping it clean, it truly shone as the poem described: "Now the dust is gone and light is born, illuminating ten thousand peaks and rivers"?

The dead gambling dog would only feel that he had struck it rich and found a bargain.

"Hey, this little genius has already come all the way here, right?"

"Then he might as well stay in our Dao Sect!"

Therefore, Chu Huai Xu had always felt an urgency to cultivate, as well as a sense of crisis.

After learning that the Storyteller was that legendary figure, the alarm bells in Chu Huai Xu's mind instantly rang.

The reason was simple: this Dao Sect Junior Uncle had a heavy killing intent and was decisive in slaughter.

He had Proved Dao through killing.

He had already become a Great Cultivator at a young age.

The Junior Uncle's most famous title was the Jiazi Demon Purge.

It didn't mean that the Junior Uncle had descended the mountain during some particular sixty-year cycle to slay demons and exorcise evil.

Rather, he had spent an entire sixty-year cycle killing at the foot of the mountain.

He had killed for a full sixty years.

At this thought, Chu Huai Xu felt a chill run down his spine.

Han Shuangjiang frowned. Her body stiffened, her jade legs tensed, and her ample buttocks clenched as she wondered if it had merely been a bodily illusion:

Had he just shuddered?
