Chapter 226: A Different Way

Chapter 226: A Different Way

"That's fine," Chu Xiu nodded.

"But what do you want, Sister Luo?"

Luo Qingyu's charming face lit up with an alluring smile.

"I just think it's fun," she said playfully.

"I asked you to come and pick me up—doesn't that make things more exciting? Hmm?"

She tilted her head slightly, her lips curving upward, and stared at Old Chu with hazy, mesmerizing eyes. She was breathtakingly beautiful.

There was an irresistible force in her gaze, and even someone as experienced as Chu Xiu felt his heartbeat quicken.

Silently, he recited the a to himself.

No matter how beautiful a woman is, she is just a skeleton beneath the skin. Nothing special.

Even fairies have to… well, relieve themselves.

Luo Qingyu chuckled.

"Hehe, alright, I won't tease you anymore. I'll be honest—I made a bet with her."

"Whoever wins will be free to leave for a month, while the loser has to stay here."

She threw a flirtatious glance at Chu Xiu, her tone teasing.

"In other words, whether you see me next time or not… depends entirely on your performance."

"Ahem…" Chu Xiu coughed lightly.

Out of the corner of his eye, he noticed a little girl listening with a serious expression, her eyes fixed on them as if taking mental notes. If she had a notebook, she'd probably be writing everything down.

Chu Xiu reached out and patted her head.

"Hey! What are you doing?"

Qin Yiyi, startled out of her concentration, covered her head and looked at him pitifully, her big eyes welling up with tears.

"Don't eavesdrop on adult conversations, little girl. Go play."

Chu Xiu put on a stern face.

"Oh…"

Qin Yiyi pouted, stood up, and ran off to play by the lake.

She always listened to Uncle Chu Xiu.

Meanwhile, Chu Xiu turned back.

"Uh… Sister Luo…" He hesitated, rubbing the back of his neck.

Luo Qingyu raised an eyebrow, a knowing smile on her lips.

"Just say it already."

At that moment, a pair of white cranes soared through the sky, their wings gliding effortlessly among the clouds.

A single feather drifted down.

It happened to land in the fire between them, burning with a soft hiss.

Chu Xiu's expression turned serious.

"If—just hypothetically speaking—what if Aunt Luo falls in love?"

Luo Qingyu blinked, momentarily taken aback.

"What do you mean?"

Chu Xiu exhaled and continued.

"If Aunt Luo falls for me, what happens then? Would she be with me? Or… would you all be with me?"

"???"

Luo Qingyu stared at him, momentarily stunned. Then, as realization dawned, she covered her mouth and let out a soft, melodious laugh.

Her laughter carried an alluring charm, her eyes shimmering with intrigue.

"As expected," she mused.

"Little brother, you're quite confident, aren't you?"

She leaned in slightly, her voice taking on a playful tone.

"You finally want to extend your claws toward your dear sister, huh?"

Chu Xiu shrugged.

"Of course. As cultivators, confidence is key. Without confidence, how can we grow stronger?"

"And let's be honest—you're beautiful. I think any man would like you… Heh."

Luo Qingyu smiled, twirling a strand of hair around her finger.

"Well, you're not wrong."

"After all, I am quite outstanding."

Her narcissism was on full display as she lightly tapped her chin with a delicate finger, her eyes glimmering mischievously.

"So… if she falls for you, then maybe I should submit to you as well. What do you think?"

Before he could react, she suddenly moved closer, closing the distance between them.

A subtle fragrance drifted in the air.

She sat beside him, close enough for him to feel the warmth of her presence.

"Well? What do you think… little… brother…?"

She bit her red lips gently, her pearly teeth grazing against them.

Her jade-like fingers traced slow, lazy circles on Chu Xiu's chest, even through his black robe.

Her sultry gaze and teasing touch were simply… deadly.

Old Chu—the seasoned warrior, the unshakable cultivator—felt his defenses crumbling.

"Alright," he finally said. "It's settled, then."

They locked eyes.

And then…

A strange laughter echoed between them.

"Hehehe…"

"Hehe…"

This scene… was becoming increasingly bizarre.

One is a quasi-emperor, invincible in the world.

The other is the son of the Taisu Holy Land, a peerless genius with unparalleled talent.

A quasi-emperor allowing the son of the Taisu Holy Land to seduce his other personality—if this news were to leak, who knows how many would be shocked?

The sun sets in the west—

Two luminous moons slowly rise in the sky.

The stars awaken, their misty light descending upon the vast continent.

Night has arrived.

Chu Xiu returned to his cultivation cave.

Sitting cross-legged, he focused inward, sorting out his cultivation path.

At dawn, he opened his eyes.

"Tongzi, pull up my panel—I want to take a look!"

A mechanical voice responded:

[Hehe… Host, if you don't exchange breakthrough points, this Tongzi will find it very difficult to assist you!]

"...???"

Chu Xiu's eyelids twitched.

"Tongzi, you've changed! You used to just give me things!"

"Now you actually ask for something in return? You money-loving system!"

[Hehehe…]

[Alright, alright, you annoying guy!!!]

Chu Xiu scrolled through the panel.

His gaze locked onto the realm section.

As expected…
