Chapter 157 - What To Do if You’re the Villain and the Heroine Likes You

Nighttime, in the courtyard of the Chu family. After much persuasion, Chu Xiao managed to hoodwink Chu Fan about Chu Chu being taken over by her sudden transformation. Chu Xiao: Chu Chu! You almost blew our cover! Chu Xiao: Chu Chu? Chu Chu: What do you want? Chu Xiao: Are you starting to like He Yunxiao? Chu Chu: Who is he? What kind of person is he? Is he worthy of my affection? Chu Xiao:... Chu Chu was usually silent, but became agitated when discussing He Yunxiao. Looks like she doesn't dislike him after all. Chu Chu: Give me my body back. Chu Xiao: What are you up to? Chu Chu: Training. After getting her body back, Chu Chu went back to her room to practice martial arts. Since she started transferring her skills to He Yunxiao, Chu Chu would set aside time every day to practice her skills. On the other hand, Chu Xiao hasn't been practicing for a long time, not because she's lazy, but because her martial arts skills are already profound, and she's unlikely to make further progress. Chu Chu's recent training isn't for her own advancement, but to compensate for the deficit caused by transferring her skills to He Yunxiao. Transferring skills is not without its drawbacks. On the contrary, it damages one's own strength to enhance another's, sacrificing oneself for the benefit of others. In general, only senior experts in dire situations transfer part of their skills to the younger generation. The power loss from transferring skills is substantial – if 10 units of power are transferred, retaining 3 units is considered good. Also, this method of acquiring power easily not only damages the recipient's meridians and body during transfer, but the powerful force afterward will also wear down the younger generation's willpower. In the short term, it seems to enhance strength, but in the long run, it's detrimental to the younger generation's development. So even famous sects would not easily transfer skills. Someone like Chu Chu, giving away skills at such a low level, would likely attract numerous martial artists to come and eliminate He Yunxiao. After all, it's too enviable! After practicing her martial arts, Chu Chu spent about the time it takes to make and drink a cup of tea to replenish the internal strength she had lost due to transferring her skills to He Yunxiao earlier that morning. After that, Chu Chu had no intention of giving her body back to Chu Xiao, instead, she sat quietly, waiting for Chu Fan to fall asleep later in the night. ... Tie Weiqi also had a tough time. The Short Blade Gang brought disaster, and their leader was injured and fell into a coma. The Iron Eagle Gang also didn't fare well. The reason Tie Weiqi could confidently accuse Pang Ce of injuring the leader wasn't because he understood the "Iron Falling, Soaring Eagle" palm technique well, but because his father's legs had been broken two days before. With his father's legs broken, how could he fight the Pang leader? And if someone could break the legs of his father, a peak ninth-grade martial artist, Tie Weiqi found it hard to imagine their martial arts skill level. It was unthinkable and unaskable. It had to be acted as if nothing had happened. For the sake of the gang's development, despite his broken legs, his father had to take a sedan chair from time to time to keep up appearances for the Iron Eagle Gang. Fortunately, his father was strong and healthy. After the legs were broken, with good medicine, he would be able to recover in just half a month. After half a month, the Iron Eagle Gang could stand up straight again. In the middle of the night, Tie Weiqi and his men stood on the walls of Yingjing City. Outside the city wall, a fast horse came galloping from a distance. At night, Yingjing City was closed. Therefore, the rider and horse stopped at the foot of the city wall. Tie Weinqi glanced at the horse below the wall, and with a smile, said to the officer beside him, "Thank you for your assistance, sir." The officer, aware of Tie Weiqi's identity, dared not be negligent and said, "Young master, you're being too kind. We are all under the Prime Minister and must help each other." Tie Weiqi nodded, then ordered his men to lower a basket tied with a rope. After the basket was lowered and lifted up again, it contained a wooden box. The officer asked in amazement, "Young master, what secret is there in this? Why must it be retrieved at night, and not wait for the city gates to open in the morning?" Tie Weiqi replied, "This is a precious item and cannot see the sunlight." With that, he hurriedly bid farewell and left, riding his swift horse through the streets of Yingjing City at night. Racing back to the gang, Tie Weiqi didn't dare to stop for even a moment, running the whole distance holding the wooden box, until he arrived at the gang's council chamber. "Father! The ginseng has been delivered!" Tie Pengjun's council chamber was still lighted late at night. Sitting in the main chair, he seemed unimpeded, not even getting up to take the box from Tie Weiqi, but simply used internal energy to draw the wooden box from Tie Weiqi's hands. Tie Pengjun, looking about forty or fifty years old, was robust and fair-faced. He said in a deep voice, "Qizai, the goods have arrived, you can leave now." Tie Weiqi approached and asked, "What does father want this ginseng for?" Tie Pengjun replied, "Father has a great use for it. Don't ask too much about this matter, just go quickly." Although Tie Weiqi left, Tie Pengjun's lingering worries had never dissipated. Every time he recalled the scene of the broken legs, he couldn't help but be shaken. That woman was too terrifying! At least at the level of a grandmaster! Looking at her face, she seemed to be only in her teens! A grandmaster at the age of a teenager? Could it be a centuries-old monster...? Tie Pengjun knew that there were no immortal gods or monsters in the world, but without that kind of explanation, how could one explain a grandmaster martial artist in her teens? Even the immortal schools that had been passed down for thousands of years had no records of such talent! Was she still a human? ... In the middle of the night, Chu Chu estimated that Chu Fan should be asleep, so she got up and left. At this time, even if Chu Fan didn't sleep, he wouldn't come looking for her. She didn't cover her face or change her clothes; she was dressed normally. Concealment is laughable to Chu Chu. She has always valued face and acting respectable. With her martial arts skills, she can roam the world freely, so who is worthy of making her wear a veil to hide her face? Chu Chu's embroidered shoes trod on the ups and downs of the rooftops in Yingjing City. The cold night wind fluttered her clothes. With her top-notch lightness kung fu, she turned into a phantom under the moonlit night. She did not sympathize with the crying child under the roof or linger in the bustling streets. As she passed a river, she noticed a woman drowning. Before she fell into the water, Chu Chu had seen her standing on the bank, lifeless. When she actually fell into the water, she cried for help in a miserable state. As Chu Chu passed by the river, her top-notch lightness kung fu suddenly turned heavy, and her entire body felt several times heavier. She broke a tree branch on the riverbank with one foot before she could ascend and continue on her way. Chu Xiao: Chu Chu, you were not like this before. Chu Chu: I will always be myself. Chu Xiao: Because of He Yunxiao? Chu Chu: He is not worthy. Chu Xiao secretly sneered at Chu Chu's statement, not believing what she said. In the past, someone who touched her dress would have their legs broken, someone who touched her fingers would have their head cut off. But now, her hands are touched, her stomach is rubbed, and her body is embraced. It's just a matter of giving everything to He Yunxiao, and he's still not worthy. Chu Xiao also admitted to herself that she didn't like He Yunxiao, but he did have some skill. Chu Chu is an unreasonable person, and it's supposed to be difficult to get along with her, yet he not only takes advantage of her every day but also manages to make her happy. Even though Chu Chu is not too clever, she is easily amused. She must have a good talk with Chu Chu and let her give her body to me when she meets He Yunxiao. We also count on He Yunxiao to come up with a plan and help me repair my relationship with my brother. Tl: Soothsayer.io
