What They Feared Most Still Happened

Night fell.

Bibi Dong came to the courtyard where Hu Liena was staying.

"Nana, did you cultivate properly today?"

"Yes."

"And you, my lazy disciple, did you slack off today?"

"Ahem, absolutely not. Ask Nana if you don't believe me."

"Really?"

"Teacher, senior brother didn't slack off today. He was very serious about guiding Nana's cultivation the whole time."

After a series of questions, Bibi Dong inexplicably sighed.

"Ah, that settles it."

"Nana has already been led astray by the little rascal."

"The little scoundrel clearly lay around all day, yet he dared have Nana lie for him."

Bibi Dong was a little worried. Having little Xu Feng supervise Nana didn't seem to have been the right choice. She felt that sooner or later, Nana would be assimilated by little Xu Feng and become a second little lazy disciple.

What Bibi Dong didn't know, however, was that the Qingqiu Immortal Art Xu Feng had given Nana used "Xu Feng's voice" as the medium for teaching her. So, in Nana's eyes, Xu Feng really had been busy all day.

Xu Feng knew this too, so he simply had Nana speak up for him.

"Nana, I heard you made great progress in your cultivation today. Show your teacher the results."

Bibi Dong didn't want to pursue the matter of that lazy disciple, little Xu Feng, too far. Right now, she only wanted to see whether Hu Liena had truly mastered projecting Soul Power outside her body.

After all, Bibi Dong had learned about this from a maid, and she still found it rather hard to believe. Nana was so young. How could she possibly have mastered projecting Soul Power outside her body?

"Yes, Teacher."

"Nana will show you right away."

Following what she had done during her cultivation that day, Hu Liena sat cross-legged and closed her eyes.

Before long, the phantom of a small figure appeared in Hu Liena's mind. The figure clearly looked like a child, yet carried an air of great authority.

"Hold your breath and focus your mind. Sink your energy into your dantian..."

The phantom spoke calmly. It was a voice Hu Liena found very familiar, because it was senior brother's voice. He was teaching her how to circulate the Qingqiu Immortal Art and how to draw Soul Power outside her body.

Whoosh!

Before long, following the phantom's instructions, Hu Liena quickly drew a thread of Soul Power to her finger, forming a tiny wave of air. Perhaps finding it fun, she immediately fired the wave at Xu Feng.

Pop!

"Boring..."

Xu Feng rolled his eyes and lightly clapped his hands. Like a bubble, the wave of air was slapped apart.

"Hehe... this is fun..."

Hu Liena, however, found it very entertaining to be able to play around with senior brother.

"This..."

"This really is external Soul Power projection!!!"

Bibi Dong, standing off to the side, was so dumbfounded by the sight that she froze in place.

Hu Liena might only have released a bubble with little power that looked bloody useless.

But how old was Nana?

Not even three.

Once Nana awakened her Martial Soul at six, and was then taught precise control of Soul Power, even a compressed ball of Soul Power would probably be stronger than most Soul Masters who had absorbed a Soul Ring.

"Nana, you're amazing. You've even learned something as complicated as external Soul Power projection. Your teacher is truly proud of you."

Bibi Dong stroked Hu Liena's head, her face filled with a gentle smile.

As for who had taught Hu Liena external Soul Power projection, Bibi Dong knew perfectly well. Naturally, she wouldn't be foolish enough to ask. Otherwise, that little scoundrel might hold back in the future to keep his secret from being exposed, and that simply wouldn't do.

Beside them, Xu Feng said nothing, but he felt somewhat uneasy too.

Nana, I taught you these things only because I wanted to raise you into a pretty young lady. Whatever you do, don't tell Teacher. If she looks into it and asks where these secret manuals came from, your senior brother won't know how to answer.

Please, you have to know better!

At that moment, Bibi Dong and Xu Feng each harbored their own secret schemes, but strangely enough, neither wanted Hu Liena to expose this matter.

Unexpectedly...

"Teacher, Teacher, senior brother taught Nana all of this."

"Senior brother not only taught me the Qingqiu Immortal Art, he also guided me into understanding it quickly. He's really amazing."

What Bibi Dong and Xu Feng feared most still happened.

Not only did Hu Liena say it aloud, she also hooked her arms around Xu Feng's arm and shook it, finally resting her little head against his shoulder and rubbing it against him again and again.

Fuck!

You little disaster, could you please stop looking at me with that 'senior brother, you're so awesome, I like you so much' expression?

If I'd known, I wouldn't have taught you.

Countless complaints churned through Xu Feng's mind. Finally, he looked awkwardly at Bibi Dong.

"Well..."

"There seems to have been a misunderstanding. I never taught Nana these things."

Xu Feng thought for a moment, then added, "Lately, I've mainly just been responsible for supervising Nana. The fact that she understood all this is really entirely to her own credit."

Ah, it's over. My cover's blown.

Teacher definitely won't believe me, will she?

"I see..."

"It looks like our Nana really is very clever. Keep working hard from now on too, understand?"

What left Xu Feng somewhat dumbfounded was that Bibi Dong actually believed him. He immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Sure enough, Teacher is as big-breasted and brainless as ever. I managed to bluff my way through even that. Hehe...

"You little rascal, just you wait."

Bibi Dong secretly clenched her delicate hands. Nevertheless, she kept a gentle smile on her face and said, "You've both worked so hard today. Would you like a bath to relax?"

"Yes, yes, yes!"

"Nana wants a bath!"

Hu Liena immediately perked up, her little face full of smiles.

"Good, then it's settled. Your teacher will take you." Bibi Dong smiled too and scooped both little treasures into her arms.

As for little Xu Feng's opinion, that wasn't important. All that mattered was getting him to the bath.

"!@#￥%..." The corner of Xu Feng's mouth twitched.

Fuck, I'm losing it!

A short while later, in the bath.

As expected, under the pretext of bathing him, Bibi Dong subjected little Xu Feng to another round of rough handling.

Fortunately, Nana was beside them. To avoid having a bad influence on her, Bibi Dong restrained herself a little more than usual.

Otherwise, Xu Feng would have been unable to endure the humiliation and would have been ready to try stripping off Bibi Dong's clothes.

Although Bibi Dong held back, what Xu Feng feared most still happened.

"Senior brother, why are we different here?"

At that moment, Hu Liena was staring at Xu Feng with a curious expression.

"..." Xu Feng's expression froze. He felt as though his whole body were about to crack apart and wished he could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

"Pfft-"

Rarely getting to see Xu Feng embarrass himself, Bibi Dong couldn't help laughing aloud. Then she teased, "Little lazy disciple, hurry up and explain to your junior sister why you're different."

Teased like this, Xu Feng soon flushed scarlet. In the end, he simply stopped making a sound.

"Ahem..."

Seeing this, Bibi Dong felt that her Bao'er was probably about to get angry. She hurriedly put on an authoritative air and said to Hu Liena, "Stop fooling around and hurry up and finish washing."

"..."

At that moment, Bibi Dong stole a glance at Xu Feng and wanted to laugh, but after Xu Feng glanced back at her, she suddenly didn't dare laugh anymore, afraid of making him unhappy.

"Huh?"

Beside them, Nana still wanted to laugh, but seeing that Bibi Dong wasn't laughing, she suddenly didn't dare laugh either.

The atmosphere inexplicably grew solemn.

Sure enough, silence was sometimes the best way to express displeasure. Xu Feng happened to use precisely this method, which finally made Bibi Dong stop teasing him and quickly dry them both off and dress them.
