21: Chapter 21 Mother-in-law Comes to the Door

Gardener Residential Complex.

Inside the slightly cramped federal housing unit.

Bai Shiwei returned home, pouting. This trip could be described as leaving in high spirits only to return disappointed; her mood was even worse than the last time she and Fang Zhuo went back to her own home.

"What is the matter?"

Fang Zhuo had just come out of the bathroom.

After fiercely consuming a wave of medicine, awakening his Martial Aspect, his Life Level had broken through four levels in succession! Such a massive improvement required time to adapt to.

He had not left the house all afternoon, had not eaten dinner, and had been training the whole time, barely managing to adapt to his body, which had become more than twice as strong.

The young couple had been inseparable for so many days.

Fang Zhuo immediately noticed that Bai Shiwei was unhappy.

"It is nothing..."

Bai Shiwei did not want to tell Fang Zhuo about this, fearing that he might feel inferior because of it.

"Hubby~ Have you eaten dinner yet?" Bai Shiwei said, sniffing, and added, "You definitely have not! It is so late already. How about... I make you a couple of dishes?"

"I just finished cultivating, so do not trouble yourself. I will order takeout."

Fang Zhuo stepped forward and grabbed Bai Shiwei, who was eager to enter the kitchen.

What a joke!

Bai Shiwei was excellent in every aspect: appearance, figure, personality, and Martial Arts talent. The only exception was that her hands were a bit clumsy.

Her cooking skills were something else...

After eating it twice, Fang Zhuo never wanted to try a third time.

"Alright then~"

Bai Shiwei thought about it; Fang Zhuo had been hungry all day, so it was indeed not suitable for him to eat her cooking again. She decided to show off her skills next time.

...

Federal takeout was delivered very quickly.

After Fang Zhuo had gorged himself.

Full and warm, carnal desires arose.

Looking at the delectable Bai Shiwei curled up on the sofa, moonlight just happened to shine through the window, spilling into the room.

"Wifey."

"It is time to get down to business."

Fang Zhuo walked up to Bai Shiwei, scooped her up, and buried his head against her neck, which was even more radiant than the moonlight.

"Oh my~"

"It is not even nine o'clock yet!"

Bai Shiwei protested with her mouth, but her body gradually softened, her breathing grew heavy after just a few moments, and her hands and feet unconsciously wrapped around Fang Zhuo.

She looked as if she were hanging on Fang Zhuo.

Their clothes slipped off one by one, piling up on the floor.

Fang Zhuo placed Bai Shiwei on the sofa and braced his hands on either side.

The sofa began to creak under the strain.

"Hubby~"

"Why are you so... today?"

"So what?"

"It is nothing..."

"Hmm?"

"Ah~! I mean, you are amazing, okay! Slow down~"

Bai Shiwei said coyly, feeling that something was off. Fang Zhuo had never been this amazing before; what was going on today?

The strength in his hands also seemed to have increased by quite a bit!

Just as she was wondering, Bai Shiwei let out a cry of surprise, her body tensing up like a bow.

Seeing this, Fang Zhuo felt quite satisfied.

In the past, due to his low Life Level, his physical fitness was too far behind Bai Shiwei's, and he always had to rely on the number of times to save face.

This time, he had finally exhaled in triumph.

At this moment, the sound of hurried high heels came from outside the door, followed immediately by a knock.

"Knock, knock, knock~!"

Who is it?

Damn it!

Fang Zhuo took a step back.

Bai Shiwei was also somewhat flustered.

"It is me, Xu Xue!"

The voice from outside the door sounded somewhat angry.

Xu Xue was indeed very annoyed. If her daughter had not awakened a Martial Aspect, she would have just let her make do with Fang Zhuo.

A Martial Arts Junior College was a bit lacking, but it was not unacceptable.

After all, Fang Zhuo's disposition and personality were decent, and he was sincere towards her daughter.

But now her daughter had awakened a Martial Aspect, the third-ranked Superior Martial Aspect 'Heaven-Swallowing Python'! For her daughter's future.

She had to persuade Fang Zhuo to leave, no matter what!

The lewd sounds from the room just now were still lingering in Xu Xue's mind. She secretly fumed: a Martial Arts Junior College is just a Martial Arts Junior College; it does not help Shi Wei's cultivation much and only holds her back!

What time is it, and they are already indulging in carnal pleasures?

Inside the room.

Upon hearing this, Fang Zhuo and Bai Shiwei were both embarrassed. They hurriedly put on their clothes, moving their hands and feet very lightly, fearing to make any sound.

"Mom, why are you here?"

Bai Shiwei opened the door, standing behind it with a flushed face, her gaze darting away, not daring to meet her mother's eyes.

Fang Zhuo followed up with a call of "Mom," also acting as if he had done something shameful, his eyes drifting about.

This was indeed quite awkward.

Being caught in the act with someone's daughter in the living room—whoever it was would be curling their toes in embarrassment.

"Hmph."

Xu Xue sniffed, her gaze scanning the living room. She first looked at the messy sofa, then glanced at the sheepish-looking Fang Zhuo, and finally looked at Bai Shiwei:

"Do you still recognize me as your mother? If I had not come, were you not planning to contact me in the future?"

"Mom, how could that be!"

Bai Shiwei grabbed Xu Xue's hand and shook it gently. She did not get along with her father, but she still respected her mother.

"How could it not? You awakened a Martial Aspect and did not even tell me. Do you really have me as a mother in your heart?"

Xu Xue rolled her eyes.

"Mom, how did you know..."

Bai Shiwei's voice lowered. About the Martial Aspect awakening, she had only told the school and a few interested martial artist groups.

Besides that, it was just Fang Zhuo and his family.

"Was it Zhao Qianqian?!"

"Do not worry about how I know."

Xu Xue looked at Bai Shiwei and said: "I came this time to tell you that since you have awakened a Martial Aspect, the family will fully support your martial arts training! Your father said that from now on, he will give you 5 million in living expenses every year."

"5 million?"

"Where would he get so much money?" Bai Shiwei asked in surprise. Her father spent all his annual income on his own cultivation and that of her younger brother, Bai Heng.

"Your father has decided to stop cultivating."

Xu Xue sighed.

Bai Shiwei remained silent, her expression complex.

"Alright, this can be considered your father making up for his past shortcomings towards you. Do not refuse it. Your Martial Aspect has just awakened, and this is the golden period for improvement. You cannot do it without money."

Xu Xue patted her daughter's shoulder. Seeing that Bai Shiwei was noncommittal, she immediately smiled:

"You go back and see your father now. I have some words for Fang Zhuo."

"Whatever you have to say, just say it here."

Bai Shiwei frowned slightly, looking at her mother vigilantly.

With the precedent of her best friend Zhao Qianqian, Bai Shiwei was now very suspicious of her mother's purpose in wanting to talk to Fang Zhuo alone.

Xu Xue was taken aback.

As a mother, she knew her daughter's temperament perfectly well. If she were to speak plainly to Bai Shiwei and tell her to separate from Fang Zhuo, it definitely would not work.

It might even ruin their mother-daughter relationship.

Although the starting point was for her daughter's better martial arts future, this matter could not be handled forcefully. Xu Xue had already thought of a roundabout strategy:

Start with Fang Zhuo, reason with him, lure him with benefits, and appeal to his emotions!

Bai Shiwei had awakened the Martial Aspect Heaven-Swallowing Python; the two were destined to be worlds apart. As long as she pointed out the gap and said a few polite words.

As long as Fang Zhuo was sensible, he would leave on his own.

But now that her daughter seemed to have noticed, she had to think carefully about how to send her away.

While Xu Xue was struggling.

Fang Zhuo, however, spoke up first: "Shi Wei, you go back and see Dad first."

Bai Shiwei widened her beautiful eyes, just about to ask a question, when she saw Fang Zhuo lean in and whisper in her ear: "Since your parents want to provide funds for your training, just accept it. If you are not willing to accept it, then give them my card number."

"Don't you want to support me?"

Fang Zhuo chuckled softly and, from an angle where his mother-in-law could not see, gently pinched Bai Shiwei's slim waist.
