Banshee Family Training Record

She naturally wouldn't hide anything from her senior sister, recounting in detail what happened that day.

Finally, she concluded: "In short, although some doubts have been explained, I still think some of them are far-fetched, and we should not let our guard down."

"But just as Master Huijing said, the demon cultivators in the mountains suddenly united and laid a trap. Before our injuries healed, we had nowhere to go, so... we had no choice but to come here to try our luck."

As she spoke, she breathed a sigh of relief, turned her head to look at the doorway of the room, as if staring at Yun Chu'an through a wooden door: "Fortunately, his cultivation level is not too high. Even I could easily capture him."

Yan Shui frowned slightly. She had already understood the whole story and had her own judgment: "The three of you are at the Foundation Establishment stage, and the three of you are about to reach the Foundation Establishment stage. Your cultivation levels are all far higher than theirs. You didn't see any flaws, which means that they are probably indeed innocent and there is nothing to doubt."

"He's only at the fourth level of Qi Refining, what ability does he have to deceive you? It's really inappropriate to continue to doubt him like this. In the future, let's not say things like that."

Dongfang Yue lowered her head, looking aggrieved: "I was just worried about you, Senior Sister. You're injured right now, so you can't be too careful..."

Yan Shui smiled and said, "Then, thank you, Xiao Yue'er."

Dongfang Yue then beamed with joy and snuggled into her arms. Yan Shui held her little head and gently stroked her hair, while looking out the window at the dark, thick clouds, the flashing lightning, and the torrential rain.

Even though countless powerful enemies are still searching for and pursuing her, and her protector is just a weak cultivator at the fourth level of Qi Refining, she is not in a hurry at all. What she recalls is the great battle with the remnants of the Corpse Driving Sect that day, and the matter of her swordsmanship.

Are Golden Core cultivators really like that when they start fighting to the death?

My sword strike was indeed lacking in refinement and consideration. If I had paid attention to these aspects beforehand, I might have been able to kill her on the spot that day.

But it's not too late to realize this now. Next time we meet, I'll definitely kill her with my sword!

As she thought this, she gained new insights and was ready to take another step forward.

Outside, Hui Jing and the others stabilized their injuries and rested for the time being. Yun Chu'an also lay back on his bed, having spent a terrifying night. Qi Qiao was now sealed under his bed, and who knew how long these people would have to spend with him.

Chapter 99 The Fox Spirit's Visit

This place is not safe at all; we could be exposed at any moment. Yun Chu'an was considering whether to find an opportunity to send the girl to a safe place.

After weighing the risks and rewards, he rejected the idea. It was too dangerous. There were four Foundation Establishment cultivators in the room, and as soon as he opened the seal, they might sense the chilling aura of the zombie.

So he could only pray in his heart that Qi Qiao could endure a little longer, and that she would be free once these guys left.

A night of fear and trepidation passed quietly, and the torrential rain outside continued unabated. Dark, ominous clouds blanketed the sky, and even the rising sun in the east could not dispel them.

It was already dawn, but it was still dark outside. Yun Chu'an deliberately slept in a little later, then washed up, cooked, and took care of his own affairs before beginning his cultivation.

The Buddhist monks and the Qingyun Sect members were meditating and practicing their healing techniques in the living room. Fortunately, the space was large enough that it wasn't too crowded for all five men.

The group remained silent, not disturbing each other. The atmosphere was heavy and somewhat oppressive; no one knew what would happen next if things continued this way.

Yun Chuan prayed that if they could pass a few days in peace, that would be the greatest fortune.

However, misfortunes never come singly; at that very moment, there was a sudden knock on the door: "Knock knock knock—"

A crisp, rhythmic knocking sounded, unlike any of the usual visitors. Yun Chu'an's heart skipped a beat. He glanced at Hui Jing and the others meditating in the living room and saw that the monk had also become wary, his thick brows furrowed, staring at the monk without uttering a word.

Yun Chu'an cleared his throat, pretending everything was normal, and asked the person outside the door, "Who is it?"

Then, from outside, a familiar female voice, tinged with impatience, rang out: "It's me, your fifth sister, Hua Caiyan."

This vixen is here!

Damn it, why did she come at this time?

Yun Chu'an cursed inwardly, then asked, "Ah, it's Fifth Sister. You don't come often. Is there anything I can help you with?"

Outside, the woman's voice grew even more impatient: "Couldn't you have come and opened the door for me first, let me in, and then asked me? It's pouring rain outside!"

As she said this, Yun Chu'an glanced at Hui Jing and the others, his heart pounding in his chest, unsure of what to do.

The latter waved his hand, stood up first, and signaled everyone to hide.

The group got up and rushed to the guest room where Yan Shuiyi was. The seven people were crammed into the same small room, which made it feel extremely crowded.

Once they were all hidden, Yun Chuan finally got up, walked to the door, opened it, and then the small-statured Hua Caiyan appeared before him.

She was still dressed in her familiar outfit, with two long ponytails hanging down her back, and her rounded shoulders were faintly visible under the ribbon. However, her red dress was not wet, which meant that she was very relaxed and had the leisure to cast some kind of spell to help herself avoid the rain, so as not to be as disheveled as Huijing and the others.

Seeing him open the door, she walked in without any ceremony, grumbling, "Why does it take so long to open the door? Aren't you up yet?"

Yun Chu'an feigned embarrassment, chuckled, and didn't answer. But then he saw the girl suddenly sniffle and frown: "Has anyone been in your room before? This smell... doesn't seem like someone we know..."

Yun Chu'an's heart leaped into his throat, and he hurriedly explained, "Ah, yes, Guangzhi Wuweiqi Alon and the others came last night. The black bear spirit and the wolf demon were fighting again, and they asked me to go and settle things between them..."

Hua Caiyan looked at him with a strange expression: "No, it's not the scent of a black bear or a wolf demon. It should be a very clean scent, and..."

She sniffed again: "There's a woman's scent."

In the small guest room, Dongfang Yue's heart suddenly jumped into her throat. She cursed inwardly at her nose for being able to smell her and her senior sister's scent.

Outside, Yun Chu'an's heart also jumped, cursing inwardly at how sharp this vixen's sense of smell was, before saying, "Ah, yes, the one who was beaten was a she-wolf... uh... uh..."

The more he explained, the weaker his explanations became. Seeing that Hua Caiyan's expression grew increasingly distrustful, the remaining words of explanation stuck in his throat, and he couldn't bring himself to say them.

Then, he heard Hua Caiyan ask slowly and deliberately, "Chu An, you didn't bring all the female cultivators from the Hehuan Sect home, did you?"

Yun Chu'an was stunned for a moment, then her blood pressure soared: "I'm innocent! Damn it, Fifth Sister, I've only been to Weihu Market twice, and both times Fourth Sister took me. You can't possibly think that Fourth Sister took me to brothels!"

Hua Caiyan thought about it and felt it made sense: "That's true, it's not the strong scent of perfume that the Hehuan Sect people have. Hmm, this lingering scent is fresh and elegant, it should belong to a respectable woman, but there's still a trace of blood mixed in..."

Suddenly, her eyes widened: "Could she be a respectable woman from an ordinary family?"

Yun Chu'an's heart, which had just settled back into his stomach, jumped again: "Uh... this..."

Hua Caiyan narrowed her eyes, thinking she was interrupting his train of thought and not giving him a chance to come up with a reason for his argument: "Although you probably can't contact the Hehuan Sect, as far as I know, you've been going down the mountain quite often to the mortal markets to buy materials and supplies. The clothes you gave to Fourth Sister were bought down the mountain, right?"

"Tell me honestly, have you abducted those young girls from ordinary families who are still unmarried and brought them up the mountain to entertain you?"

Yun Chu'an was speechless, his gaze involuntarily drifting towards the guest room. Dongfang Yue was hiding inside, and he desperately wanted her to come out so she could put in a good word for him!

My innocence and reputation!

I've never done anything like that!

He sighed inwardly, but it was clear that even if the latter was angry, he would not come out to prove his innocence.

Left with no other choice, he lowered his head, dejected, and accepted the blame: "Yes, I'll take it."

Hua Caiyan's eyes and tone were immediately filled with disdain: "Ha, men, they're all the same!"

Inside the room, the five men hiding looked embarrassed. They were completely innocent victims, unjustly attacked by Hua Caiyan's sweeping generalization.

Dongfang Yue also looked embarrassed. She never expected that her and her senior sister's simple act of hiding here would cause him such severe damage to his reputation.

Chapter 100 Hua Caiyan's Favorability (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

Yan Shuiyi was also awake at this moment. She sat up in bed, listened to the conversation outside the room, sighed, and took the initiative to say, "We have damaged his reputation like this. We must explain it clearly in the future."

The others nodded in agreement. Meanwhile, outside, Hua Caiyan, already in a bad mood, flared up and began to make a scene: "No, Yun Chu'an, what's wrong with you? You already have Qi Qiao and Liu Mengshen, isn't that enough? You want to go find other women outside?"

"Both of them are more powerful than you and so beautiful. They've been taking care of you for so long, with Meng Shen by your side during the day and Qi Qiao by your side at night. And what have you done? How can you treat them like this?"

Yun Chu'an's heart nearly leaped out of her throat. Just mentioning the name "Qi Qiao" was enough to fill her with dread: "No, Fifth Sister, please stop. I was wrong, I know I was wrong. I'll never do it again. I promise I'll always be devoted to them both..."

He was terrified. He was afraid that if this vixen let slip even the slightest thing, and the people inside the room caught even the slightest clue, he would be completely finished!

Hua Caiyan sneered: "You know you're wrong? No, you know you've been exposed and want to cover it up better next time."

"Didn't Fourth Sister tell you to tone things down with Liu Mengshen? Have you changed your ways? Mengshen might not understand, but neither do you. In broad daylight, under the blazing sun, you were pulling her along in the woods, by the river, even in the water... I could hear it from far away, and I felt so ashamed!"

The more she talked, the more she couldn't help but think of the scenes she had witnessed, and the more she blushed. Finally, she spat and cursed, "At least find a cave! Doing it like that in the wild, shameless!"

Yun Chu'an covered her face, feeling that her image was completely ruined: "I know, I know, I know I was wrong, Fifth Sister, please stop..."

He wailed in despair, but it was too late to salvage his image. Inside the room, all seven people were filled with shock, and the two ladies, Dongfang Yue and Yan Shuiyi, were flushed crimson.

This isn't the information age with mobile networks, where even a naive young girl could have her head filled with lewd thoughts. Cultivators spend their years in arduous training and don't have time to be exposed to so much stuff. Their psychological threshold is ridiculously low; even a few simple sketches can make them feel ashamed and anxious, cursing the shamelessness, let alone something like this.

For a moment, all seven of them were filled with shock.

Fellow Daoist Yun Chu'an, who seems upright and honest, is actually quite cunning in private?

There were actually two female cultivators with higher cultivation levels than him who were both willing to have sex with him, and they even met in the wild...

"Amitabha."

The monk Huijing closed her eyes and murmured something to calm her agitated emotions. The other two quickly followed suit to regain their composure and prevent further turmoil.

Dongfang Yue blushed and gritted her teeth, saying, "Senior sister, you see, I told you, he's definitely not a good person!"

Yan Shuiyi's face was also flushed, but she still managed to maintain her composure and whispered, "Doesn't this just prove that he is full of righteousness? Otherwise, why would all the girls with higher cultivation levels than him like him so much?"

She received a very proper but also rigid education from a young age, which disciplined both men and women, and only those who acted uprightly and honestly could win the favor of the opposite sex.

Having cultivated herself diligently since childhood, she had no emotional experience and had never seen what free love was like. Naturally, she regarded Yun Chu'an as the kind of upright and righteous young man in textbooks.

On the contrary, Dongfang Yue, though she hadn't eaten pork, had seen pigs run and knew that it wasn't like that at all. Upon hearing this, she gritted her teeth in anger but didn't know how to refute it: "No, senior sister... sigh, never mind, just keep listening. You'll know later that what I said is right!"

Yan Shui said no more, while outside, Hua Caiyan vented her frustrations, finally releasing her pent-up emotions.

She took a deep breath, her slightly protruding, flat chest heaving slightly. She rolled her eyes at him, turned around, and sat down on the stool next to him, saying, "Pour me a glass of water. What are you standing there for?"

Seeing that she had finally stopped talking about his dark past, Yun Chu'an felt a little relieved. Although he didn't know how badly his facade of honesty and uprightness had crumbled in the eyes of the Buddhist and Qingyun Sect disciples, he decided to ignore it for now and forget about it.

He fetched the kettle, poured her a cup of hot water, and asked as he poured, "Fifth Sister, is there something you need to tell me this time?"

Hua Caiyan picked up her water glass, her eyelids drooping, her long black eyelashes seemingly trembling.

She kept her head down, staring at the surface of the teacup, as if the bland, tasteless water was far more attractive than his face.

“I heard you’re preparing for another breakthrough,” she said, still avoiding his eyes. “Entering the fifth level of Qi Refining requires a lot of complicated processes. I’ve been through it myself, and I know the difficulties better than you do. So, I hope you can avoid some of the detours.”

She spoke sincerely, which made Yun Chu'an feel quite flattered. He quickly brought up the system and glanced at the family tree interface. He found that Hua Caiyan's trust level with him was still at the "favorable" level, and only then did he feel relieved.

If he hadn't been certain that she still had a very good impression of him, he would have even started to suspect that this woman was trying to poison his medicine in order to kill him silently.

Fortunately, her favorability rating is still there, and the quest "Conquer Hua Caiyan" is still available, so he won't fall into a spiral of doubt towards her.

"Thank you, Fifth Sister," he said, and then Hua Caiyan took out a small storage bag and handed it to him.

She still didn't dare to look him in the eye, her gaze drifting elsewhere. She only showed him her delicate and lovely profile and said softly, "We weren't familiar with each other before, so it's always good to be wary, especially in these deep mountains. Don't make a fuss. If you're too careless, suffering a loss is a small matter, but losing your life would be a big deal."

Yun Chuan looked up, and now that he was closer, he could almost see the fine downy hairs on the girl's delicate profile.

Although she had previously mocked the female cultivators of the Hehuan Sect for their heavy use of cosmetics, she was clearly wearing perfume, and the fragrant scent wafting over him now made him feel refreshed.

Chapter 101 Buddha's Uncle?

Yun Chu'an was relieved to hear this, knowing that she was apologizing for her previous suspicions and even for targeting him at every turn.

It seemed a little shameful to say it directly, so she prepared this gift and expressed her apology in a paternalistic tone, hoping to mend her relationship with him.

Yun Chu'an was naturally willing to accept this, but he was still a little annoyed. Although it was a good thing, why did this woman have to choose this particular time?

Even if it had been a day earlier, if those Buddhist monks hadn't been hiding here, he could have opened his heart and talked to her more.

He thought to himself that he was complaining, but his face remained respectful as he said, "Fifth Sister is right. I was new here and didn't know everyone well, so this is how it should be."

"Moreover, my fifth sister helped me later... I am very grateful to her."

He said this, but when he thought about the time he helped push her buttocks that day, Hua Caiyan felt a chill run down her spine and got goosebumps. She was so embarrassed that she almost wanted to turn around and run away.

She turned her face away, a cute blush appearing on her cheeks: "That...that's nothing, the past is the past, let's not bring it up again."

Her tone was tinged with barely suppressed annoyance, but because she lacked confidence, her words carried a hint of unease, which made her sound rather endearing.

Yun Chu'an looked down and saw that because of her short legs, her feet couldn't even touch the ground. So she simply took off her wooden clogs, and her two white little feet hung in mid-air, anxiously crossing themselves back and forth, sometimes with her left foot on top, sometimes with her right foot on top, and her toes also fidgeting back and forth, showing the girl's complicated emotions at this moment.

He used this to judge the girl's true feelings at that moment. However, her chubby little feet were so beautiful in both color and shape that he couldn't help but take a second look.

Over there, Hua Caiyan didn't want to dwell on the matter of pushing butts, so she quickly changed the subject, trying to divert his attention with something more serious: "Have you heard? The mountains are now under martial law."

Yun Chu'an quickly looked away from her feet and put on a serious expression: "I heard that yesterday my fourth sister and I encountered some people blocking our way. They questioned us for a long time before they let us come back."

"Fifth Sister, could it be that this is why you couldn't venture deep into the mountains to hunt and gather, and that's why you came here?"
