44: Chapter 44 The Return of the Threefold Qi

The next morning.

Just as the sky was beginning to brighten, a crack appeared in the door to Chu Xiao's room, and a pair of dark, round little eyes peeked through, scanning the room.

After confirming that everyone inside was still asleep.

Chu Lingyin tiptoed into the room and suddenly shouted, "Big Brother! You big lazy pig! The sun is already shining on your butt, you... you all... Sister-in-law! Sister Yimo!"

She widened her eyes in shock, then immediately covered her eyes, turned around, and scurried away.

Chu Xiao: "...!" Pei Yimo: "...!" Li Qingxue: "...!"

The air was silent for a few seconds. The two women exchanged a glance, their pretty faces flushed pink. They scrambled out of bed and fled the room as if escaping.

Only Chu Xiao was left sitting on the bed, dazed. He felt the lingering warmth from last night and caught the faint scent the two women had left on the sheets. Last night, the rain was sparse and the wind was gusty; a deep sleep could not dispel the lingering wine, one might ask the person rolling up the curtains...

"Sigh!"

Chu Xiao rubbed his head, supported his waist as he got up, and stood by the window to stretch his muscles. He said, "System baby, it's a new day. Shouldn't we open the Elementary pleasure novel Golden Finger item pool?"

[Ding!] [Randomly selecting from the Elementary pleasure novel item pool...] [Congratulations, Host! You have received the following three options. Please choose one!]

[①. [A Mysterious Fruit] (This Golden Finger comes from a mundane, manga-adapted pleasure novel. Once selected, the item will manifest, and after consumption, you will possess a mysterious ability! Remember, anyone who consumes this fruit will forever lose the ability to swim in the ocean!)]

[②. [Three Points Return to Origin Qi] (This Golden Finger comes from a mundane, manga-adapted high-martial arts pleasure novel. Once selected, you, the Host, will master this terrifying Cultivation Technique secret! It doubles your cultivation power! It can be used for both offense and defense! Its power is extraordinary!)]

[③. [Spend one yuan, get ten thousand back!] (This Golden Finger comes from a mundane, silly urban tycoon simp pleasure novel. Once selected, every time you spend money on women, the amount will be returned ten thousand-fold!)]

[Note: The pleasure novel items refreshed daily will not disappear and can be purchased using pleasure points!]

Looking at the items refreshed on the System panel, Chu Xiao fell into silence.

Damn! Damn! What is this situation? There's actually a Golden Finger like this? This is Heaven-Defying!

The mysterious fruit, if he guessed correctly, should be a Devil Fruit from One Piece. It's a pity it didn't label the specific ability, and once consumed, one becomes a landlubber. The limitations are too great!

Chu Xiao had no intention of considering it at all. After all, Devil Fruits are too risky; if things go wrong, he could end up with a Zoan-type.

As for the third Golden Finger, spend one yuan, get ten thousand back? Heh... who are you looking down on! I don't lack money, and I certainly don't want to be a simp, throwing money at women to find pleasure.

Consequently, Chu Xiao's gaze fell upon the second Golden Finger, [Three Points Return to Origin Qi]. This martial arts Secret Manual could be said to be awesome to the extreme. It can truly be called a childhood memory!

Back in the day, if Xiongba had been able to cultivate it to the third level, the supreme Realm of Three Origins Returning to One, he wouldn't have died so miserably.

"System, are you sure you didn't make a mistake? The Elementary Golden Finger item pool can actually refresh a high-martial arts Cultivation Technique like Three Points Return to Origin Qi?" Chu Xiao said excitedly.

[Ding!] [Confirmation correct. This Golden Finger does indeed come from a mundane, manga-adapted high-martial arts pleasure novel!] [Please feel free to choose, Host!]

The System's voice flashed. Chu Xiao immediately said without hesitation, "Good! That's it! Three Points Return to Origin Qi!" If he hesitated for even a second, it would be a disservice to his own childhood!

[Ding!] [Congratulations, Host, for choosing [Three Points Return to Origin Qi]. Please prepare yourself!]

"Prepare? For what!!" Chu Xiao exclaimed. Immediately after, he felt a tearing pain throughout his body. His bones, muscles, Meridians, and every organ were undergoing an incredible transformation.

However, this pain only lasted for a few minutes before disappearing. Although it was painful! Everything was worth it!

Chu Xiao stood firmly in place. The true source Profound Truth of Three Points Return to Origin Qi appeared in his mind. He mastered it all in an instant, directly comprehending it to the third Realm, Three Origins Returning to One.

The more deeply he comprehended it, the more he realized how awesome this martial arts Secret Manual was. In the original work, this Cultivation Technique was capable of directly killing a Fire Qilin!

It could be used for both offense and defense, and it could absorb the power of heaven and earth to use for oneself, making one's own power and Origin Qi inexhaustible. At the same time, Chu Xiao was surprised to discover that the power within his body had increased by at least ten times, far exceeding the scope of a Martial Arts Grandmaster.

"It's actually this terrifying!" Chu Xiao swallowed hard.

Just at this moment, the conversation of Chu Lingyin, Pei Yimo, and Li Qingxue came from outside.

"Big Brother, time for breakfast!" Chu Lingyin poked her head in and said with a grin.

Chu Xiao: "Got it!"

Today's breakfast was exceptionally sumptuous; all sorts of delicacies and local snacks filled the table. Pei Yimo and Li Qingxue were very quiet while eating, both of them blushing a little, feeling embarrassed.

Chu Lingyin, on the other hand, was eating while curiously asking, "Sister Yimo, Sister Xue'er, should I call you both Sister-in-law from now on?"

Pei Yimo: "...!" Li Qingxue: "...!"

Chu Xiao: "Uh... children speak without thinking! Lingyin, can't you stop talking even while eating!"

Chu Lingyin said "Oh," buried her head in her food, and quickly finished the meal in her bowl. Then she raised her head and asked again, "Big Brother, did you all sleep together last night?"

Chu Xiao: "Yes! But we didn't do anything!"

Chu Lingyin drew out her "Oh" again, jumped off the chair, and said with a grin, "I'm going to call Grandpa and tell him that you found him two granddaughters-in-law! He will definitely be very happy!"

"Don't!" Pei Yimo and Li Qingxue said in unison, their fair cheeks already flushed crimson.

Chu Lingyin turned around, her eyes full of curiosity, and asked, "Then can you tell me why you slept in the same bed as my Big Brother? A grown man and grown women sleeping in the same bed, isn't that what a married couple does?"

Chu Xiao, Li Qingxue, and Pei Yimo were all speechless at the same time. Seeing this scene, the nannies and housekeepers hiding behind the wall couldn't help but laugh.

Meanwhile, on the other side, in the middle of a desert, the old man Chu Jianghe also received a call and couldn't help but exclaim, "What? That brat brought Li Qingxue and the Pei family girl home to sleep? No way! He actually got a clue! Does he have this ability? He didn't use any despicable methods, did he?"

On the other end of the phone came the voice of a middle-aged man, "Old Master, although the Young Master is a bit unreliable, his character is absolutely fine! This matter is also absolutely true; they slept in the same room. As for whether anything specific happened, I am not clear. After all, they are the Young Master and the young mistresses; it is not appropriate for me to pry!"

The old man Chu Jianghe trembled with excitement and laughed, "Alright! I know! Keep watching them! You must protect my grandson's safety! Also, is there any movement from Long Aotian's side?"

The middle-aged man thought for a moment and replied, "There is no movement at the moment! They probably don't dare to make a move against the Young Master! However, that Ye Fan has disappeared!"
