Cleaning? Restoration?

"Which scumbag threw this fish... it looks like the one Brother Kong was fighting with."

"...Sister Meiying, why did Brother Kong throw this towards us? Did he see us peeping?"

"..."

"..."

Both Lei Meiying and Lei Meixia fell silent. "Sister Meixia, I don't think so. If Brother Kong had really caught us, he would act like nothing happened. After all, it is also embarrassing for him too."

"I hope so," replied Lei Meixia with slight worry.

Meanwhile, Lei Kongming slipped into his last remaining piece of clothing, a soft leather armor.

"It feels quite unnatural, but anyway, it's better than not wearing anything."

Lei Kongming took his sword from the corner of the room, and after confirming that everything was okay with his outfit, he opened the door and left the hut. Lei Kongming was going to meet Su Zhiyuan. He had a lot of questions that probably only she could answer.

Walking out of the hut, Lei Kongming found Lei Meiying and Lei Meixia whispering to each other with worried faces. He was about to ask what was bothering them when he spotted the fish at their feet.

 Lei Kongming froze in place, and a very awkward smile appeared on his face. At this time, Lei Meiying and Lei Meixia also noticed him and looked towards him with an inquiring look in their eyes.

"He-hello, Sister Meiying, Sister Meixia."

"Hello, Brother Kong. Congratulations on becoming a foundation-building cultivator."

"Congratulations, Brother Kong, on your successful breakthrough."

At this time, the inquiring look in Lei Meiying and Lei Meixia's eyes disappeared.

"Hahaha, thank you, Sister Meiying. Thank you, Sister Meixia."

Lei Kongming shamelessly accepted the praise from the Mei Sisters. After all, who doesn't like praise from beautiful women? Lei Meiying and Lei Meixia both rolled their eyes at Lei Kongming's shameless behavior, but this also cleared the awkwardness between them.

Lei Kongming secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that they weren't asking about the fish he had thrown at them.

Although Lei Meiying was sure that Lei Kongming had not caught them, Lei Meixia still had some worries. She carefully watched Lei Kongming's expression. When she saw a relieved smile on his face without any unnatural look, she threw away the slight worry she had.

At this point, all three of them were puzzled about the fish for one reason or another, but they tactfully avoided the topic. Lei Kongming's eyes fell on the identity token hanging on the waist of the Mei sisters. "Sister Meiying, have you met Elder Su? What did she say to you?"

"Brother Kong, she gave us a cultivation technique and an identity token."

When Lei Kongming heard that Su Zhiyuan had given them a cultivation technique, he became quite interested. His experience with the Black Dragon Immortal Arts was not very good. He suspected that the cultivation technique Su Zhiyuan gave them had a high chance of having a pit, waiting for the Mei Sisters to jump into.

"What kind of cultivation technique is it? "

"Very powerful. The cultivation technique Elder Su gave us is extremely powerful, but she said we are not allowed to show it to anyone without her permission," replied Lei Meiying confidently without any unnatural expression.

At first, Lei Kongming started doubting himself, but when he looked towards Lei Meixia, who was looking at her feet while blushing, he realized that they might have already fallen into the pit.

"Hahaha, I was just casually asking."

After some small talk, Lei Kongming left and reached Su Zhiyuan's courtyard. Before he could even knock, the door automatically opened, and he was pulled inside.

"?"

During his talk with the Mei sisters just now, Lei Meixia told him they had met Su Zhiyuan in a large, magnificent hall. But looking at the burned-out hall in front of him, his expression became very strange.

"Xiao Ming, you came just in time. Help me clean this dirty hall," said Su Zhiyuan while throwing a bunch of cleaning tools at Lei Kongming's feet.

"...."

'I came here to solve the problems caused by the Black Dragon Immortal Arts, not to do some stupid cleaning!' shouted Lei Kongming loudly in his head, but he honestly picked up the mop and started wiping the floor.

"Xiao Ming, I have kept the new paints and everything else you may need here. Remember to restore the hall properly."

"….."

'Weren't you just talking about cleaning? How did it turn into restoration? Wait a minute, since I came here, you haven't even let me say anything,' thought Lei Kongming as his face grew darker.

"Xiao Ming, do your work properly and I will definitely reward you well. How about letting you take a bath with me?" said Su Zhiyuan with a seductive smile.

"Don't worry, elder sister. I will complete it soon; you can take a bath while I am restoring it."

Honestly, Lei Kongming was really tempted when the witch Su Zhiyuan suggested rewarding him with a bath, but his honorable character prevented him from making a mistake..... It was definitely not because he knew that Su Zhiyuan was teasing him.

"Oh really? Xiao Ming, are you planning to peep at me? Be honest, and I might not punish you,"

At this time, Su Zhiyuan's expression was similar to those of teachers in middle school who tempted children to admit their mischievousness and then punished them even harder.

"No! Elder sister, I definitely wasn't planning to peep," said Lei Kongming righteously.

Su Zhiyuan raised an eyebrow, her voice taking on the stern tone of an angry teacher.

"Tell me honestly, don't lie."

"Elder sister, I really wasn't planning to peep," Lei Kongming insisted.

In an instant, Su Zhiyuan's demeanor shifted from a strict teacher to a playful witch, and then she said, as if she were being bullied, "So, Xiao Ming doesn't think I'm beautiful? Otherwise, he would definitely plan to peep. But if Xiao Ming were honest and admitted that he wanted to peep, I would let him."

"???" At first, Lei Kongming blinked in utter confusion but then....
