Evil Before the Husband's Eyes

At the foot of Hundred Herbs Peak.

There was still snow in the Pine Forest.

In the snow lay footprints that looked chaotic, yet followed an exquisite pattern.

Thinking back to last night's training here, as well as the Sect Tour Ceremony during the day, Xiao Bai was filled with emotion.

Over the past dozen days, from setting foot atop Hundred Herbs Peak, to being dissected after Dual Rest with Yuhu, to being assassinated in the Errand Disciple Quarters, and finally reaching Qi Refining in ten days and shaking the Sect Tour Ceremony...

Too many things had happened, and they had happened far too quickly.

Xiao Bai had not even had time to catch his breath, sum up the past, and look toward the future.

At the very least, he needed to calm down and inspect the baggage he relied on to survive.

.

With one glance, Xiao Bai discovered in shock that the Spine Gu Pill the elder had given him was actually an Earth Rank pill!

The seemingly ordinary Heart-Returning Powder and Blood Spirit Pills were also of Mysterious Rank quality!

With these, as Xiao Bai traveled the world, no matter what danger he encountered, he would most likely still be able to claw his way back from the gates of death.

There was another extremely important detail:

The Spine Gu Pill and Heart-Returning Powder, the two pills Xiao Bai had already used, had somehow appeared in the Modifier's Item Bar.

This meant the Modifier had control over the residual medicinal power within them and could destroy it at any time, without him having to worry that the elder would use them to control his body.

Of course, for the moment, the elder did not seem to have any such sinister plans.

Furthermore, the two sets of Elder's Robes Mu Yun had woven by hand were actually Mysterious Rank as well.

Meanwhile, all the miscellaneous things the Onmyoji had given him were the most ordinary Yellow Rank goods, only a little better than low-tier items.

To sum it up.

Xiao Bai's cultivation was utterly unremarkable, his means of preserving his life were nearly invincible, and as for his techniques, they could only barely be called adequate.

Right now, he not only had to raise his cultivation as quickly as possible, but could not let his techniques fall behind either.

Wife Yuhu's potential had nearly been wrung dry, and she would not be teaching him demon arts or Medicine Techniques anytime soon.

Next, Xiao Bai would begin digging into Mu Yun's potential in a planned manner.

There was something else that reminded Xiao Bai—not only could the Modifier monitor evil acts, its Remote Sensing function could monitor the female leads' whereabouts at any time.

It was merely that Xiao Bai, a man of upright morals, disdained to do such a thing.

To trust women was to trust himself!

To respect women was to respect himself!

They were not someone else's wives, so why should he peep at them?

By the time Xiao Bai returned to the mountaintop, the bonfire by the lake had already gone out.

Not even scraps of roasted meat remained.

The faint fragrance of meat still lingered over the sea of flowers.

What a pair of bad women!

Even so, Xiao Bai did not activate Remote Sensing. Instead, like a normal cultivator, he spread out his divine sense.

He soon discovered... they had gone to the hot spring.

Something was wrong!

What were two women doing in the hot spring? Could they be up to something behind his back?

Xiao Bai quietly stepped into the bamboo grove.

Sure enough!

The two bad women were actually bathing together, their sweet voices chirping like orioles and swallows, making the place lively beyond measure.

Unfortunately, the scene he had expected did not appear.

Both wore bamboo membrane yukata with an unusually elaborate design, neither fully transparent nor fully opaque, swaying in the water.

They looked like drowning Dunhuang fairies.

These clothes were truly absurd.

At first glance, they looked incredibly lewd.

But upon closer inspection, they were not as good as the Bean Yellow Smoked Shirt they had worn before. At least that had allowed a glimpse of their hidden depths and ravines.

Mu Yun had been holding back her laughter so hard that her face was taut. When she saw Xiao Bai standing there dumbstruck, she could no longer contain herself and pointed at him, laughing without end.

"Look at him—his eyes are vacant, and he still cannot find a focal point. That shows just how brilliant this yukata's design is!"

Yuhu smiled without speaking and merely sipped her tea.

She did not even put peach petals into the Peach Petal Tea beforehand anymore, letting drifting petals fall into her cup. She looked comfortable beyond words.

Xiao Bai could not endure it any longer and snapped:

"What is the difference between bathing in clothes and farting after taking off your pants? Aren't you uncomfortable?"

Mu Yun crossed her hands over her chest and said smugly:

"This yukata is made of bamboo membrane inscribed with spell seals. It half-blocks light while fully allowing water through, creating tiny turbulent currents inside the garment. It can clean and massage the body while also blocking the gaze of certain perverts. It is both comfortable and practical."

Even Xiao Bai was tempted by that. He said righteously:

"Then make me a set too!"

"Dream on!"

Even though Xiao Bai had shone brilliantly at the Sect Tour Ceremony, Mu Yun gave him no face at all. Pointing at his nose, she mocked:

"A mere Qi Refining cultivator only deserves to bathe bare-assed."

Xiao Bai froze. I think you just want to freeload off me!

He finally understood. These two bad women were not master and disciple at all.

They were merely a pair of good sisters who monitored one another, guarded against one another, and put on a show of false affection.

You little Demoness, utterly hateful!

Sooner or later, I, Xiao Bai, will make you help me cultivate and soar straight into Foundation Establishment!

Yuhu reminded Xiao Bai:

"The grilled meat is getting cold. Eat it while it is hot."

Only then did Xiao Bai realize that the missing grilled squid had been sliced and arranged on white porcelain plates patterned with green bamboo.

My wife really does still love me!

He found a towel and tied it around his waist to cover his lower body, then strode into the water with his head held high.

Leaning against the edge of the pool, he embraced one woman with each arm from afar, happily ate meat, lightly drank tea, admired the Sea of Clouds and Snow Curtain, and savored the Peach Blossom Beauty.

This was exactly the feeling transmigration was meant to bring.

Unfortunately, the roasted meat of the One-Eyed Octopus was still far too potent for Xiao Bai, who was only in the Early Qi Refining Realm...

After eating two plates, Xiao Bai grew drowsy and quickly became muddle-headed.

Who knew how long had passed... perhaps he had only just fallen asleep, or perhaps a long time had gone by, when the Modifier popped up a window!

Ding—The system has detected suspected evil conduct between female lead Yuhu and female lead Mu Yun. Activate Remote Sensing to observe immediately?

Xiao Bai was startled, yet he did not dare wake up.

My two wives are doing something evil right in front of me?

Could this be the legendary...

Adultery Before the Husband's Eyes?

Without another word, Xiao Bai immediately activated—

Remote Sensing!

Only then did he discover that the two were communicating through their thoughts across the distance, discussing matters that could not see the light of day.
