182: Chili peppers hanging from a tree, Xiao Hongdou, the king of strong talk

“Of course not.”

Xiao Hongdou’s expression was furious: “Love between a man and a woman is free, but he absolutely should not have abandoned Sister Rou to marry my sister, causing Sister Rou to suffer endless scorn and humiliation.”

“And he only sees Sister Rou as a younger sister? What a joke, he clearly wants both sisters, with a wicked heart and daring ambition.”

“No, I think he’s not a real man at all…”

“What do you mean?”

Liu Ruyan’s eyes widened. They were clearly lambasting Lin Xuan, so why the sudden change in topic?

“Stupid.”

Xiao Hongdou rolled her eyes, then, with a mischievous smile, said mysteriously.

“No man dislikes a peerless beauty. Why do you think Lin Xuan is so keen on recognizing younger sisters instead of taking a wife?”

She didn’t believe a wolf would stop eating meat and start eating feces.

If Lin Xuan didn’t like women, he wouldn’t be going around the All Heavens Myriad Realms recognizing so many younger sisters.

The only possibility was that Lin Xuan, for some reason, could only look but not touch.

“Because he’s not a real man?” Liu Ruyi interjected, then immediately denied it: “Impossible, he’s in the Divine Fire Realm; he can regrow severed limbs. How could he not be a man?”

“So, is there a possibility that he’s a ‘big tree hanging chilies’?”

“This is an innate capital, leading him to be inferior and sensitive, only daring to recognize younger sisters and not to engage in marital affairs.”

“Big tree hanging chilies?”

“What does that mean?”

The three women looked utterly bewildered.

Why did they understand every single word and phrase, but when put together, they couldn’t comprehend it?

Were they too inexperienced?

“Hehe, it’s exactly what it means. It’s okay if you don’t understand now; once you have a man, you’ll naturally learn without a teacher.”

Xiao Hongdou winked at the three of them, grinning as she spoke.

“…”

Hearing Xiao Hongdou’s explanation, they became even more confused.

Wasn’t cultural knowledge supposed to be acquired through learning?

Why was it to be understood through men?

They couldn’t figure it out, truly couldn’t figure it out.

The three women were incredibly curious. Liu Ruyan slanted a look at her and sneered: “You’re so knowledgeable, could it be that you have a man?”

“Well, of course, I have many men! Back in the day, I changed seven lovers in one night, having experienced all the handsome men under heaven.” Xiao Hongdou said, feeling guilty but still putting on a brave face and acting nonchalant.

She wasn’t exactly lying.

Husbands on the virtual network were also husbands.

“Eww, you can fool yourself with that, but don’t say it out loud and make a fool of yourself.”

Seeing Xiao Hongdou’s expression, the three immediately knew she was bragging and looked at her with disdain.

Liu Ruyi scoffed unceremoniously: “You, a girl whose primordial chaos is yet to be split, a flawless jade, ‘changed seven lovers in one night’? You probably haven’t even held a man’s hand, have you?”

Lin Chuqing: “…”

Liu Ruyan: “…”

What did “primordial chaos is yet to be split” and “flawless jade” mean?

Although they knew the meaning of both phrases, when spoken by Liu Ruyi, they always felt like it wasn't the meaning they understood.

“You…” Xiao Hongdou was furious.

“Alright, alright, stop arguing.”

Lin Chuqing quickly separated the two and said: “We are discussing how to get revenge for Master, don’t change the subject.”

“His strength is there, how else can we deal with him?” Liu Ruyan said, frustrated.

Lin Xuan had let Luo Rou down, and shamelessly attacked Gu Qing again and again. She had long wanted to teach Lin Xuan a lesson, but her strength didn’t allow it.

“A Qing said that he urgently wants to take disciples and is willing to pay any price for it. Perhaps we can start from there,” Lin Chuqing said.

“Really?” Xiao Hongdou’s eyes lit up, and she excitedly hugged Lin Chuqing’s arm.

She knew Lin Xuan wanted to take disciples, but Xiao Hongdou only thought Lin Xuan took disciples to serve as a facade and as labor.

If Lin Xuan was willing to pay any price, then they could seize the opportunity to pull off something big.

“Really.”

“Then it’s easy to handle.”

“First we do this, then we do that…”

The four discussed for a long time, and finally, Lin Chuqing decided to take Xiao Hongdou to see Lin Xuan.

“Hmph!”

As soon as the two left, Liu Ruyan snorted, not even glancing at Liu Ruyi, then flashed away and disappeared, heading towards the Star Dou Arena.

Although the God Child and Goddess Coronation Ceremony was over, the people had not left.

It was rare for the geniuses and prodigies from the All Heavens Myriad Realms to gather, so it would be a wasted trip if they didn’t compete with their peers.

Additionally, there were rewards for winners in the Star Dou Arena; whether they were Star God Temple disciples or not, everyone was treated equally.

“Younger sister, wait for me.”

Liu Ruyi hurriedly chased after her… “Oh, Rou’er’s disciple?”

The two women had not walked far from Starlight Peak when Lin Xuan appeared, feigning a chance encounter, his expression surprised.

They were indeed lurking… The two women sneered inwardly and looked up.

They saw Lin Xuan, dressed in a snow-white robe, with his hands clasped behind his back, approaching with leisurely steps.

A smile played on his lips, like a dashing young master.

“Lin Chuqing greets Senior Martial Uncle.”

Lin Chuqing saluted with a composed expression.

Xiao Hongdou’s gaze involuntarily drifted to Lin Xuan’s crotch, seeing no trace.

Indeed, he was a ‘big tree hanging chilies’… She subtly shifted her gaze away.

Xiao Hongdou felt immensely relieved. Fortunately, she hadn’t succeeded in becoming his disciple back then, otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

Putting aside Lin Xuan’s psychological perversion, just Gu Qing’s targeting alone was something a fragile university student, barely out of society for a few years, couldn’t bear.

“No need for formalities. Rou’er and I were childhood sweethearts; I’ve always treated her as a younger sister, so her disciple is my disciple.”

Lin Xuan smiled faintly, his heart secretly filled with tears of excitement. He had been waiting for half a month and finally saw them.

Upon hearing this, Lin Chuqing continued to bow without changing her expression: “Senior Martial Uncle, this disciple has matters to attend to; I shall take my leave first.”

“Wait.”

Lin Xuan grew anxious; he didn’t want to wait another half a month.

“You are Rou’er’s disciple. Since you call me Senior Martial Uncle, I can’t offer nothing.”

With that, he tossed out an Enlightenment Spirit Jade.

“This is too precious, I cannot accept it.”

Lin Chuqing waved her hand in a panic; she was truly flustered.

After all, this was her first time deceiving someone, and it would be a lie to say she wasn't nervous or guilty.

“Sister Chu Qing, when an elder bestows, one cannot refuse. Quickly accept it!”

Xiao Hongdou unceremoniously stuffed the Enlightenment Spirit Jade into Lin Chuqing’s arms.

“This…”

“Thank you for the Senior Martial Uncle’s gift.”

Lin Chuqing thanked him, then put it into her storage ring.

“You’re welcome…”

Lin Xuan appeared calm on the surface, but inwardly, he was already cursing.

With Xiao Hongdou’s interference, his entire plan was disrupted.

The Enlightenment Spirit Jade he gave became a genuine elder’s gift.

Although Lin Chuqing was still grateful to him, it probably wasn’t much.

He now had no idea how to trick Lin Chuqing.

“Senior Martial Uncle, I am also your martial niece! I have already taken Sister Rou as my master.”

Xiao Hongdou looked at him expectantly.

“…”

Lin Xuan fell silent.

You little villain are truly wicked.

Whether Xiao Hongdou had taken a master, and who she took as a master, was clearly written on his system page.

If she wanted a treasure, she should just say so. Why use Luo Rou as a shield?

Was she trying to fool him like he was an idiot?

The more Lin Xuan thought about it, the angrier he got.

Before, he found Xiao Hongdou pleasing to the eye no matter how he looked at her.

Now, no matter how he looked, she was annoying.

However, to succeed in taking a disciple, Lin Xuan endured it.

Lin Xuan showed a calm smile: “Hongdou, as long as you join my sect, what’s the harm in giving you an Enlightenment Spirit Jade?”

“Really?”

“Senior Martial Uncle isn’t lying to me?”

“I don’t believe it.”

“Such a precious treasure, how could Senior Martial Uncle have a second one? I don’t believe it, I don’t believe it, I don’t believe it…”

“Stop, stop, stop.”

Lin Xuan couldn’t take it anymore. Xiao Hongdou’s little mouth was like a machine gun, chattering non-stop, giving him a headache.

“Here you go.”

“From now on, you are my disciple.”

“That won’t do.”

Having received the Enlightenment Spirit Jade, Xiao Hongdou immediately turned hostile, arguing righteously: “Senior Martial Uncle, you heartlessly abandoned my Master. Master detests you and swore to be irreconcilable with you. Master’s kindness to me is as heavy as a mountain. Master is beautiful and kind. Master cannot be without me. Master…”

“Shut up!”

Lin Xuan roared, his calm expression cracking inch by inch as he said angrily, “If you don’t want to take me as a master, why did you accept the treasure?”

Xiao Hongdou blinked, asking in confusion: “Senior Martial Uncle, when did I ever say I would take you as my master? I just wanted to confirm if Senior Martial Uncle had a second Enlightenment Spirit Jade.”

“By the way, wasn’t this a meeting gift from Senior Martial Uncle? Senior Martial Uncle, you wouldn’t be one thing on the surface and another behind the back, wanting to poach Master’s corner, wanting Master to live out her days alone, wanting Master to wash her face with tears every day, wanting…”

“Shut up.”

This disciple was not to be taken.

Absolutely not to be taken.

Lin Xuan was so angry that his temples throbbed.

The system defining Xiao Hongdou as a destined villain was truly accurate; she was dark-hearted, venom-tongued, went back on her word, and shifted blame with incredible smoothness.

If he let Xiao Hongdou continue, he would soon become ungrateful, despicable, and a treacherous villain.

Xiao Hongdou’s poisonous tongue was even more formidable than Gu Qing’s by three points.

Hmm?

Lin Xuan’s eyes lit up.

If Xiao Hongdou could be used by him, would he still need to fear Gu Qing in the future?

Just throw Xiao Hongdou out, and he would be completely fearless, right?

Thinking of this, Lin Xuan looked at Xiao Hongdou with shining eyes, as if looking at a peerless treasure.
