Mi primer marido después de la transmigración - Capítulo 75
Although Tianxiu was half-naked, her vital parts had not reverted to their original state. Tang Shijiu, on the other hand, was completely naked…
"Brother, could you please explain?" Tang Shijiu's voice was clearly impolite.
Although he didn't understand what had just happened, Shen Yuntan wisely turned around and said, "It's a mistake, a mistake!"
Tianxiu's voice was tinged with laughter: "Does this gentleman think we've done something immoral? I was just showing this young lady how strong the muscles in my arms really are. We're all people of the martial world, so there's no need to take such trivial matters to heart."
"Yes, yes, I'm sorry, I went to the wrong room." Shen Yuntan gritted his teeth in anger, but couldn't wait to leave.
Just as he was about to leave, Tang Shijiu said coldly, "Sir, stop. Why do I feel like your back looks so familiar?"
Silent cold sweat slid down my spine.
Shen Yun didn't dare to think about what would happen if Tang Shijiu discovered his deception again.
"Sir, could you please turn around so I can see you?" Tang Shijiu's sweet, crisp voice was like a death knell. "I really feel like I've seen you somewhere before, sir."
No...no way! Shen Yun complained incessantly. He had already deliberately hunched over to look old, how could she still see through it?
While he hesitated, Tang Shijiu had already walked up to him.
Although Shen Yuntan was wearing a human skin mask, he was still terrified.
"Where are you from, sir?"
"I am...I am from Chengdu." Fortunately, I lived in Sichuan in my younger years, so I still managed to pick up some of the Sichuan accent.
"Oh...sir, have you ever been to the Central Plains region?"
"No...no. I've spent my entire life in Shu, and I haven't made any enemies. Miss, you must have mistaken me for someone else." His voice was already trembling slightly. He had made up his mind that if Tang Shijiu tried to verify his identity by pulling his beard and tugging at his skin, he would use his lightness skill to escape! Then he would deny everything no matter what!
"Oh..." Tang Shijiu's pretty face showed a hint of disappointment as she turned to Tianxiu, "He looks just like the woodcutter uncle who used to catch butterflies for me when I was little. I thought I'd run into an old friend here!"
Tianxiu was stunned...
Shen Yun was taken aback...
The two of them blurted out in unison, "What!?"
Tang Shijiu chuckled lightly, "I'm sorry, sir, I mistook you for someone else. Please forgive me." Then she said to Tianxiu, "Why are you so surprised? What's the big deal about mistaking someone for someone else? Didn't you just mistake someone for someone else too?"
The two soft, gentle "Uncle"s sounded just like the playful way Tang Shijiu had addressed him when she first learned his age. Shen Yun felt a pang of heartache. He bowed, exchanged a few polite words, and finding no reason to linger any longer, he reluctantly left.
The tenderness that was once within reach is now an insurmountable distance.
Watching him leave, Tang Shijiu smiled mischievously and winked at Tianxiu.
Tianxiu smiled again and continued the previous topic: "Nineteen, am I a very manly man?"
Tang Shijiu clapped her hands: "Not bad, not bad, you've got quite a bit of muscle." Her beautiful eyes sparkled, and an irrepressible smile rippled across her face. "But Tianxiu, just now, when you wrapped yourself in that robe, your eyes were truly brimming with tenderness, so infinitely shy!!!"
She reached out and poked him: "Why did you pack up so quickly? What are you afraid of being seen by others if you're a man! It's fine if a man barges in, but if a woman barges in, you're actually getting the better end of the deal!"
Tianxiu was utterly helpless and didn't know how to deal with it, so he could only smile bitterly.
Tang Shijiu became even more smug, mimicking Tianxiu's earlier actions and expressions: "Oh my, what a beautiful woman, so charming and shy."
Tianxiu was completely out of ideas, so he decided to give up and do whatever he wanted.
"Yes! I am infinitely shy, and I am incomparably beautiful. Look at my chest, the skin is as smooth as jade. I'm afraid that the uncles who come in will be attracted to my delicate skin and take me home as their young master. My body is too delicate and fragile to withstand pressure. What if I lose my elasticity? Who will pinch my belly for you to play with then?"
Tang Shijiu nodded: "That's right, that's right. This reasoning is much more pleasing to the ear than your talk about whether you're a man or not."
Chapter Forty-Seven: Beauty
As they traveled eastward, they encountered more and more heroes of the martial world. The wealthy rode swift horses, while the poor walked, all heading in the same direction.
Tang Shijiu was somewhat uneasy: "Tianxiu, I have a feeling that they are all after Xiaoyao Manor."
Tianxiu leaned against the soft couch, her collar loosely draped over her shoulder, her eyes still half-closed: "The Tuanfu Heart Sutra has shaken up the martial world. Do you think only the Tang Clan has made a move? In the martial world, if you sneeze even slightly and leave the slightest trace, someone with ulterior motives can dig up your ancestors for eighteen generations. What's more, it's the Tuanfu Heart Sutra?"
Tang Shijiu remained silent for a long while before saying, "The person who wrote the Tuanfu Heart Method certainly didn't expect to create such a scourge."
"In this world, countless people covet the scourge you speak of."
Tang Shijiu said, "If the Tuanfu Heart Method were really that powerful, I would have been a top-notch martial arts master long ago, and I wouldn't have been made to suffer so much by the Tang Clan. If it weren't for this lousy Heart Method, your master wouldn't have been grabbing children to experiment on, and you two brothers, and... and him, wouldn't have suffered from the backlash of internal energy."
If she hadn't possessed the Tuanfu Heart Sutra... would she have had the chance to meet him?
Tianxiu slowly opened his eyes, and a strange light suddenly flashed in his hazy pupils: "This is indeed an ominous cultivation method..."
"Nineteen, look at these people, bustling back and forth, all flocking to the same place, doesn't it look just like Jinhu Villa back then?"
He suddenly leaned close to Nineteen's ear, his breath sweet as orchids: "Of course you know that the murderer who destroyed Jinhu Manor was not Shen Yuntan."
"But besides Shen Yuntan, who else could have such methods?"
"I'm afraid... it really is an evil spirit... This cultivation manual originally came from hell. Perhaps the people of Jinhu Manor were eaten by evil spirits from hell."
His voice was faint and ethereal, like a distant, ethereal melody from a flute. Tang Shijiu couldn't help but shiver.
“You didn’t see the scene. Hearts were ripped out, blood flowed everywhere, and what lay on the ground were chunks of flesh, indistinguishable from limbs. Even Shenyin couldn’t have done that…” Tianxiu laughed, but her eyes were cold. “But Shenyin’s master, who is also our master, could. Wasn’t it him who taught Shenyin the method of dismembering and killing? But do you know that our master died long ago, killed by Tianshu and Shenyin? A knife pierced his heart, and Shenyin and Tianshu guarded his grave for days, just to prevent him from crawling out.”
“I think…they really should take some time to visit Master’s grave; maybe there’s no one there anymore…”
Tang Shijiu gasped, "Tianxiu, why are you saying these things for no reason?"
In the blink of an eye, Tianxiu returned to normal and gently patted Shijiu's shoulder: "Just kidding, your face turned pale."
