A Heart-to-Heart Talk (Third Update, Please Bookmark and Recommend)

Although Hu Donghan had wanted to resist at the time, he was simply no match in strength for Hu Meier, who was three years older than him. Even his little brother had been flicked swollen.

From then on, Hu Meier seemed to have found a fun new toy. Whenever Hu Donghan made a mistake, she would use this trick on him—though Hu Meier knew when to stop and only flicked him a few times. Even so, that intense humiliation still made Hu Donghan feel as though his dignity had been trampled underfoot. To avoid such bullying, he had even considered immediately cultivating the True Exposition of the Ghost Path. But for the sake of cultivating the technique better, he had ultimately suppressed that thought.

This continued until Hu Donghan began to mature. The next time Hu Meier "punished" him, she discovered that after merely touching it twice, that thing had swollen considerably. Her face flushed red, and she finally realized that this game could not be played again.

After that, Hu Meier never pulled down Hu Donghan's pants again. Only when Hu Donghan truly angered her would she occasionally put on the air of someone about to teach him a lesson.

As for Hu Donghan, the psychological shadow had already taken root. Whenever he thought of Hu Meier's punishments and such, he would feel deeply uncomfortable.

In Hu Donghan's eyes, the only way to erase that shadow was to one day defeat Hu Meier with his own strength, pin her down, and give her a fierce spanking! That was why he resisted Hu Meier's help so strongly now. If it had been back when they were children and depended on each other for survival, the moment Hu Meier invited him, he would definitely have agreed without a second word.

Sure enough, when Hu Donghan heard that Hu Meier wanted to "teach him a lesson," he first shuddered instinctively before speaking stubbornly. "Hu Meier, I'm telling you, you can't scare me! Hmph! One day, I'll be stronger than you! When that time comes, I'll definitely fiercely... uh, get my revenge!" Hu Donghan had originally wanted to say, "spank your butt," but after considering the consequences of saying that, he changed his words at the last moment.

"Hehehe..." Hu Meier laughed sweetly without end. "Fine, I know that one day, you'll definitely be even stronger than your big sister! Mm... in order to become stronger than me someday, why don't you use these things first?"

After saying that, Hu Meier reached into the storage ring on her hand and took out a Soul Ring, along with a large pile of pill bottles.

"This Soul Ring contains a Mid-Grade Ghost Fiend. As for these pills, they're Qi-Nourishing Pills and Qi-Refining Pills suitable for your current stage of cultivation. In order to surpass your big sister, you must work hard at cultivating!" As Hu Meier spoke, she adopted the manner of coaxing a child, then added in a low voice, "Originally, Master also gave me a High-Grade Ghost Fiend. I had planned to save that High-Grade Ghost Fiend for you, but Master watched me put it away, so I can only give you a Mid-Grade Ghost Fiend first... But don't underestimate this Mid-Grade Ghost Fiend! The Yin Soul Sect has nearly a million disciples, yet only around ten thousand possess Mid-Grade Ghost Fiends. With this Mid-Grade Ghost Fiend, your cultivation speed should be able to catch up to that of ordinary disciples!"

Only in front of Hu Donghan would Hu Meier reveal such an expression. It was the expression of an older sister coaxing her younger brother, one that no one else could possibly see.

Hearing Hu Meier say this, Hu Donghan was touched in waves. However, he quickly raised his head disdainfully and said, "Hmph! Girl, since I said I'd surpass you with my own abilities, I absolutely won't accept these things from you! And I don't need something like a Ghost Wraith! I can obtain a Ghost Wraith truly suited to me!"

Hu Donghan would only speak such blunt truths to Hu Meier. Of course, even so, he had never mentioned to her that he possessed the True Exposition of the Ghost Path. It was not because he did not trust Hu Meier, but because he feared she might inadvertently let it slip.

"Oh? The little brat's getting cocky again! Looks like you already have a Ghost Wraith suited to you?" Hu Meier teased Hu Donghan again.

Hu Donghan nodded and released his Ghost Wraith, saying proudly, "Of course! Look, this is my Ghost Wraith!"

"Oh? This is..." Hu Meier stared carefully at Hu Donghan's Ghost Wraith for a while before her expression suddenly changed drastically. "Y-you actually only have a Mortal Ghost?! Little brother, this is simply nonsense! Your talent was already poor, yet you used the Ghost-Summoning Technique to take in a Mortal Ghost? Are you trying to anger me to death?! Cultivators with ordinary spiritual roots can only contract one Ghost Wraith! What exactly are you trying to do?"

As Hu Meier spoke, her earlier fairy-like demeanor vanished completely. She planted one jade foot on Hu Donghan's bed, rolled up both sleeves to reveal her jade-like arms, and glared viciously at him. She looked just like a street thug about to start a fight, as though if he did not give her an explanation, they would settle this in a brawl.

Hu Donghan was startled by Hu Meier's appearance as well—the main reason was that the shadow of his childhood was simply too heavy. He hurriedly waved his hands. "Girl, don't get worked up. When have you ever seen me do something without confidence? Although I only have a Mortal Ghost now, I dare guarantee that, in this world, this Mortal Ghost is the one best suited to me! And it can't possibly remain only a Mortal Ghost forever."

"You..." Hu Meier stood with her hands on her hips for a moment. Then she recalled that her little brother had always been steady and reliable since childhood, so he should not be doing something this muddleheaded. Only then did she finally rein in her anger and say furiously, "Fine! I won't interfere for now! But when I come to see you next time, if your cultivation hasn't improved at all, don't blame me for slapping this Mortal Ghost to death!"

"Fine! When you come next time, I'll definitely leave you thunderstruck." Seeing Hu Meier settle down, Hu Donghan finally let out a sigh of relief.

However, Hu Meier immediately continued, "Since you won't accept the Ghost Wraith I'm giving you, then you must accept these pills! Otherwise..."

"I won't take them! Absolutely not! Since I said I'd rely entirely on my own abilities, I definitely won't depend on you!" Hu Donghan remained firm.

"You little brat! Do you think I really won't teach you a lesson?" Hu Meier had only just regained the appearance of a gentle lady when, in an instant, she transformed into a fierce tigress again, baring her teeth at Hu Donghan.

Hu Donghan instinctively shuddered again. Then he closed his eyes and lay down on the bed with the air of one calmly facing death. "Do whatever you want! I said I don't want them, and I mean it!" After a pause, Hu Donghan asked, "Do I need to take off my pants myself?"

"Heh..." Hu Meier was so exasperated by Hu Donghan that she laughed. "You brat..."

"Forget it! If you don't want them, your big sister won't force you this time. But I still mean what I said. When I come to see you next time, if your cultivation still hasn't improved, then don't blame your big sister for being impolite! When that time comes, I'll personally tie you up and take you away, forcing you to cultivate every day!"

Hu Meier ultimately compromised. This fairy-like woman, ruthless and merciless, with blood on her hands, would only reveal that faint trace of tenderness in front of Hu Donghan.
