Childish Contest, Houtu in a Swimsuit

The Nine-Turn Mysterious Technique that Old Round and Big Cat learned were both modified versions.

After all, the Nine-Turn Mysterious Technique was originally created by Miss Houtu for Wu Chu, and it is most suitable for humans like Wu Chu to cultivate.

The reason why Old Round level improved by leaps and bounds after learning it was probably because he already carried the bloodline of the divine beast Zhu Yan. Now, this bloodline has simply been successfully activated and strengthened by the <Nine-Turn Mysterious Technique>, and he has gained some supernatural powers.

In contrast, the bloodline of the Big Cat Bai Jun is quite ordinary. Although it looks very much like its ancestor, it is only similar in appearance; its essence is much inferior.

Therefore, what the Big Cat Bai Jun learned was the Golden Core Dao cultivation method. Now, with the addition of the <Nine-Turn Mysterious Technique>, although it is a modified version, his cultivation has increased quite rapidly. However, this so-called rapid increase is only compared to those Little Flower Fairies.

After all, there's also a treasure like the Purple Jade Spirit-Pattern Apple Nai to improve its constitution.

After witnessing Old Round's rapid advancement in cultivation after practicing the Nine-Turn Mysterious Technique, Houtu, at the suggestion of Wu Chu, recently began modifying the fish-based version of the Nine-Turn Mysterious Technique Profound Technique.

The Big Red Fish became their experimental subject.

Of course, once the modification is successful, Big Red will definitely be the first beneficiary.

After sparring with Old Round and enjoying a delicious meal, everyone prepared to leave. Old Round looked at Wu Chu somewhat awkwardly and asked cautiously, "Teacher, may I go with you to your Daoist Temple?"

Ever since Wu Chu taught it the Nine-Turn Mysterious Technique, Old Round has considered itself Wu Chu's disciple and called Wu Chu "teacher". Originally, it called Wu Chu "master", but Wu Chu didn't want to take on any disciples, so he used "teacher" to appease Old Round.

At this moment, Wu Chu realized that Old Round, who had been at Purple Jade Mountain for tens of thousands of years, seemed to have never actually visited the Sacred Tree. So he nodded, "Sure! If you're ever bored, you can go and have a look around, just don't scare anyone."

"Thank you, thank you, teacher!"

Old Round was so happy he kept scratching his head, like a monkey.

So the three of them, the ape, and the Big Cat ran through the mountains and forests. Wu Chu and the other two used their Shrinking Earth Divine Ability, Old Round swung among the Heavenly Tree, and the Big Cat ran wildly on the ground.

Unfortunately, due to his cultivation level, the Big Cat Bai Jun, despite being the king of the forest, was the slowest. Even with his tongue running like a dog, he still couldn't catch a glimpse of them.

The fastest runners were Wu Chu and Kua. Wu Chu, relying on his higher cultivation level, managed to keep up with Kua. Yi was faster than Old Round. Although his cultivation level was lower than Old Round's, his Shrinking Earth Divine Ability gave him a significant advantage in speed.

When they arrived at the lake, Wu Chu glanced at Kuai and said, "How about we have a swimming contest and see who gets to the other side first!"

Kua chuckled confidently and said, "Let's compete! I'm a renowned swimmer in that Great River, the one who can swim the whole tribe! I taught everyone how to swim!"

Wu Chu laughed and said, "I was the one who taught you how to swim!"

"Water Escape Technique forbidden!"

"Certainly!"

"Start!"

As they spoke, the two plunged straight into the lake. The next moment, they were like two sharp arrows piercing through the water, leaving two straight white waves in their wake.

When Yi arrived at the lake, he could only see the shadows of Wu Chu and the others.

He waited by the lake for a while before Old Round jumped out of the forest and crashed down next to Yi, creating a large crater, panting heavily.

Yi smiled smugly and said, "Old Round, how about we have a swimming contest?"

Old Round glanced at him and shook his head, saying, "No way!"

Hey, you're a landlubber!

"How about we have another match?"

Although he didn't understand what a "landlubber" was, Old Round's intuition told him that Yi was definitely not saying anything nice, so he directly turned the tables on him.

Remembering how he had just been humiliated by Old Round, Yi curled his lip and pointed to the opposite bank of the lake, saying, "That's your teacher's Daoist Temple over there. I'll go ahead first."

Old Round nodded, his ape lips parted slightly, and a hint of anticipation appeared in his eyes.

Yi swam in the lake, while Old Round followed, riding the clouds and mist.

After a long while, the Big Cat Bai Jun finally emerged from the forest, its tongue lolling out, looking resentful. Without a second thought, it plunged into the lake, tilted its head back, and began to walk with a cat-like gait, its expression surprisingly proud.

When Wu Chu swam to the other side, he saw Houtu standing on the deck of the Tower Ship, wearing a silk robe. Her thick, black hair cascaded down like a waterfall, almost reaching below her hips. She wore a pair of nearly transparent high-heeled sandals that Wu Chu had designed for her, which made her already tall figure appear even more slender and outstanding. Her jade-like toes were exposed, making one want to pick them up and admire them.

Underneath the white silk robe was a rather conservative, yet quite revealing, outfit for that era: a strapless top and a short skirt, though Wu Chu couldn't see it. He could only imagine that when she wore this robe, she must have been dressed in such a revealing manner underneath.

Her stunningly proportioned figure, subtly revealed beneath the smooth silk nightgown, exuded an irresistible charm.

Several years ago, when Wu Chu suggested teaching the Great Fish the Nine-Turn Mysterious Technique and asking Houtu to help modify the technique, he also tricked Houtu into swimming with him.

Then he designed one fashionable swimsuit after another for Houtu and Little Moon Spirit, but they all seemed rather shy and ultimately chose the most conservative one.

Miss Houtu was clearly not as bold as Little Moon Spirit and the Little Fox... Of course, those two little girls only had two small purses, so there wasn't much to see.

However, Houtu's figure was quite different; Wu Chu's eyes widened at just one glance. In response, Houtu immediately draped a long robe over herself.

Therefore, Wu Chu designed a very simple nightgown for them, concealing their figures. Such a beautiful thing was enough for him to admire alone.

At this Houtu, Miss Houtu, at first glance, really does have the feel of a modern, fashionable, and intellectual woman. Whether it is her temperament or her appearance, she is one in a million.

Faced with such Houtu, Wu Chu secretly hoped that she could be as brave as the female warriors in her tribe, knock him unconscious with a stick, and then carry him back to the cave.

He thought he was easy to knock out; he figured one tap would knock him out!

Watching Wu Chu wiping the lake water off his face and staring blankly at her, Miss Houtu smiled slightly and gave him two words—"childish!"

Then he turned and left leisurely, going up to the second floor of the Tower Ship.

From the second-floor cabin came clanging sounds, presumably Little Moon Spirit trying her hand at mixing drinks again—a skill Wu Chu had taught her. This skill was also inspiring this first Little Chef of the Primordial World to strive towards becoming the first bartender of the Primordial World.

Wu Chu knew that Miss Houtu was referring to the competition between him and Kua.

But so what if she's childish! Seeing Houtu like this, what's wrong with her being a little childish?

Houtu, Miss Houtu was wearing a bathrobe, otherwise he would definitely have turned around and praised her, then shoved him into the water. A girl like that shouldn't be seen by others.

He leaped onto the Tower Ship, scattering water droplets in his wake. Wu Chu turned around, looked at Kua who had rushed over, and laughed, "How about it? Are you convinced or not?"

Kua wiped his face and said, "I think I just saw the chief."

"Isn't it normal to see your leader here?"

"No, the leader's attire is different from usual! It looks strange."

"Then don't look! You have no manners! Do you even know what 'don't look at what is improper' means?"

"Have no idea!"

"..."

Just then, the Little Fox came out of the Tower Ship carrying a wine glass. "Senior A Chu, would you like a drink? It's Rainbow Wine that Yueling just made!"

The glass is a crystal goblet, and the contents are divided into seven layers, shimmering with seven colors.

"Xiao Yu, is it good? Can I have a cup too?" Kua jumped onto the deck with the lake water in his mouth, revealing his towering, rock-like body.

It must be said that the Primordial World Witch Clan are all muscular and tough. Wu Chu's physical strength is even a level above Kua's, but judging from his appearance alone, he is not as explosive as Kua.

Thinking of Houtu's previous attire, Wu Chu said, "Finish your drink and get out of here! Don't get in my way!"

"..."

Kua was a little confused when Wu Chu suddenly became upset.

P. S.: Monday, please vote, thanks!
