37: Chapter 37 The two discussing Lin Kuang in the hot spring

After Yu Xiaotang and the others returned to the camp, they immediately let their hair down and sat by the bedside, feeling uneasy.

"Sister, how is Lin Kuang doing now?" Yu Xiaotang rushed over to ask as soon as she saw Mei Hua enter.

"He's fine, just a bit overextended. I reckon that move just now was his ultimate technique; he didn't leave a single drop of spiritual energy!" Mei Hua said, stroking Yu Xiaotang's head with a doting expression.

"It's alright. With Elder Liu there, he'll recover soon!"

"Look at how beautiful you are with your hair down. If you go out looking like this, your second sister won't tease you anymore, and Lin Kuang will be absolutely mesmerized."

Mei Hua looked Yu Xiaotang over with a gentle gaze.

"As long as he's okay. Besides, Sister, I'm usually out cultivating and don't have time to dress up. A bun is fine!" Yu Xiaotang replied with a sigh of relief.

Mei Hua went behind Yu Xiaotang and began combing her hair. "If Lin Kuang saw you with your hair down, he would surely cherish you beyond measure!"

"Ha! Definitely, he seems to..." Yu Xiaotang thought of how Lin Kuang had seen her with her hair down the day he sucked out the poison. She felt a bit embarrassed and didn't finish her sentence.

"How could he have seen it! He... how is he worthy of seeing this Young Miss like this!"

"His current performance isn't enough for him to see me like this." Yu Xiaotang pouted and said proudly.

"Ah? Is he not good to you? You still need to see his performance?" Hearing Yu Xiaotang say this, Mei Hua became more cautious regarding Lin Kuang.

"Uh..." Yu Xiaotang lowered her head slightly, recalling her memories with Lin Kuang, and said slowly, "Him! Sometimes he's incredibly good, but other times he's very bad, full of wicked ideas! Sigh, I can't even tell when he's being normal!"

"Anyway, I feel very safe with him. He even said he wants to take first place in the Xuanyuan Dynasty competition!"

"I'm still waiting to see him make a fool of himself. I'll definitely go on more trials with him in the future!"

Yu Xiaotang told her sister her plans, mainly fearing that her sister would keep her in the Sect and not let her go out.

"Then when he wakes up, I'll talk to him and see what kind of person he is! For now, let's go soak in the hot spring!"

"Hot spring? Great! It's been so long since I left the Sect, and I haven't had a good bath. I must have a good soak this time!" Yu Xiaotang was overjoyed at the mention of the hot spring. She had been training and looking for herbs all this time without a chance to relax.

Yu Xiaotang followed her eldest sister, skipping all the way to the hot spring.

As soon as she saw the hot spring, Yu Xiaotang kicked off her shoes and slowly walked in.

Mei Hua took off her long dress. Underneath was a piece of inner armor that looked like a short-sleeved shirt, but it was water-permeable and didn't interfere with bathing.

Yu Xiaotang's was pink and looked like a camisole.

Yu Xiaotang looked at her sister's impressive figure and remembered Lin Kuang drooling over the Black Swan and Liu Ruyan. She immediately showed an envious look. "When will I be like Sister?"

Mei Hua smiled and looked at the small flower sewn on the chest of Yu Xiaotang's inner armor. "Eh? Did you sew the little flower on your inner armor yourself?"

"Mm-hmm, how is it? Pretty, right?" Yu Xiaotang said proudly.

"It's alright! But what's this?" Mei Hua immediately noticed something was wrong.

Mei Hua saw a wound that was almost healed. She identified it carefully and said, "Is this... a wound left by a Fire Poison Bug?"

Seeing her sister's serious expression, Yu Xiaotang panicked a bit. "What's wrong? Will it leave a permanent scar?"

"It won't, but I see traces of treatment around it. You must have found a very professional healer to recover, right?"

"No!" Yu Xiaotang was honest and directly denied it.

But as soon as the words left her mouth, she realized she had said too much. She suddenly froze in place and stole a glance at her sister's complicated expression.

"If you don't go to a healer for Fire Poison Bug venom, to reduce the danger, it can only be sucked out by mouth!"

"Who? Who sucked it out for you?"

Mei Hua, who was usually all smiles, suddenly looked grim, which was a side Yu Xiaotang wasn't familiar with.

Like a child who had done something wrong, Yu Xiaotang clasped her hands in front of her, glanced at her sister out of the corner of her eye, and answered tremblingly, "It... it was Lin Kuang who sucked it out for me!"

Mei Hua leaned in and whispered to her, "When he was detoxifying you, did he do anything else?"

"Do... do anything else?" Yu Xiaotang was so scared she curled into a ball, her expression becoming frantic. "No, nothing at all!"

Seeing Yu Xiaotang's expression was off, Mei Hua used her Divine Sense to scan Yu Xiaotang's body. There was nothing unusual, indicating that Lin Kuang was still a gentleman and hadn't taken advantage of her.

"Phew~ You scared me to death!"

Yu Xiaotang didn't know what had happened; she just looked at her sister pitifully.

"Sister... Sister, what exactly... happened?"

"It's nothing. I thought you were bullied!" Mei Hua hugged Yu Xiaotang, her expression softening.

"I knew Lin Kuang wouldn't lay a hand on you!" Mei Hua said earnestly. "The Cultivation World is such a mess nowadays! Especially Dual Cultivation."

Yu Xiaotang's face turned beet red after hearing that. She pouted and said, "Sister, I already said he didn't. You don't believe me!"

"Alright, Sister was wrong!" Seeing Yu Xiaotang a bit unhappy, Mei Hua stroked her head and said gently, "Even if he had done something to you! I would help you get justice!"

"I don't judge people by their appearance either. I will definitely question him later!"

"If he bullies you in the future! I will definitely help you!"

"Oh, Sister Meihua!" Yu Xiaotang shyly shrank into the hot spring, leaving only her small head visible. "I told you, we aren't in that kind of relationship!"

"Hahaha! Fine! Just think about it! The Sword Sect is a great Sect, you must also consider the Sect's interests!" Seeing that Yu Xiaotang didn't want to discuss it anymore, Mei Hua also began to scrub herself.

...

"That's how it happened! That kid was hiding his cultivation! There was nothing we could do!" Liu Yi lowered his head, kneeling before the Old Ancestor.

At this time, the disciples of the Liu Family slowly carried up the heavily injured Liu Ming.

"Hmph!" The Patriarch crushed the wine cup in his hand and said angrily, "Miaoyu Sect, I indeed cannot afford to offend you! However, your Grand Elder isn't here either!"

"I'll see who can stop me when you come out! At worst, I'll just wander the Jianghu!"

...

"What's wrong? Master, why so happy?" Lin Yaoyao saw Li Shuang dancing with joy and felt it was strange.

"Hahaha! That kid you fought yesterday is a Fellow Daoist of the Miaoyu Sect's Young Sect Master! We can take this opportunity to extort them for a large sum!" Li Shuang licked his lips and laughed.

"Really? The Old Sect Master of the Miaoyu Sect cares about his daughter very much... There's no way he would give his daughter to a Pervert!" Lin Yaoyao added.
