Cultivation: the Rise of a Live-In Son-In-Law-Chapter 233 - 231: Lv He: "Such Fierce Words! Did Qing Yu Finally Get a Taste?
When Lu Ye returned to the courtyard, Qing Yu was hanging out freshly washed clothes to dry.
At this moment, she was holding an undergarment in her hand, ready to hang it, when she heard footsteps approaching from behind.
Without any hesitation, the person naturally entered the courtyard.
Startled, Qing Yu turned her head, ready to frown and sternly ask who it was, and why they had barged into someone’s home without prior notice.
In the next instant...
She saw the face that had, from time to time, appeared in her dreams during these days.
"G-g-g... master?!"
Looking at the item Qing Yu dumbfoundedly held in her hands, Lu Ye cleared his throat softly and said, "Just finished my work, so I came back to see you."
It was just a very simple sentence, yet Qing Yu suddenly felt a bit like crying.
The master hadn’t forgotten her.
Even though she was just a small maid, the master still remembered her!
Seeing Lu Ye’s slightly odd gaze, Qing Yu realized she was still holding... a pair of underpants.
Her face immediately turned slightly red with embarrassment as she quickly stuffed it behind her, stammering, "Ah... master, please have a seat and rest. I’ll go make tea for you."
After saying this, Qing Yu’s face turned as red as a cloth and she rushed into the house with her head down.
So embarrassing...
About a minute later, Qing Yu came back out of the room, holding a teapot.
"Master, have you been doing well outside during this time?" Qing Yu handed a steaming cup of tea to Lu Ye, her eyes showing obvious concern.
Qing Yu knew that those who practiced martial arts needed to eat well first, to ensure that their training wouldn’t deplete their vitality.
Of course, Qing Yu, not being involved in cultivation, understood that this was true for those of low realm.
Reaching the Innate Realm or higher would eliminate this drawback entirely, as they could complete internal circulation using Heaven and Earth Source Qi.
These matters, it was normal for Qing Yu to not know much about.
Suddenly, a thought crossed Lu Ye’s mind.
Since Jiang Qingge had a special constitution that was recently awakened.
What about Qing Yu?
If there was this possibility, Lu Ye wished that this little girl could also embark on the path of cultivation.
In such a great martial era, not being able to cultivate was really a pity.
"Qing Yu, come here."
Lu Ye waved at Qing Yu, who was somewhat eager to look at him but dared not.
"Ah... okay."
Even though Qing Yu didn’t know what the master was going to do, she immediately stood up and walked over upon hearing Lu Ye’s words.
"Extend your hand."
"Ah? Okay..."
Qing Yu was a bit confused, but without hesitation, extended a hand.
It was obvious, because of the years of manual work, Qing Yu’s hands weren’t as delicate as those of the Jiang Family sisters or someone like Chen Lingxiang.
You could clearly see calluses on her palms.
"You shouldn’t do so much work in the future, it’s too tiring," Lu Ye said.
"It’s no big deal, master," Qing Yu said awkwardly, "Qing Yu is only skilled at these kinds of rough tasks, if I don’t do them, I don’t know what else I could do."
For Qing Yu, who was sold to the Jiang Family from a young age, all she had learned growing up was how to do these chores and some experience in serving others.
Aside from that, she couldn’t imagine any other possibilities for her life.
Stealing a glance at the master just before her, Qing Yu had a secret she didn’t mention.
Her expenses were quite small, and the silver and copper coins she earned from taking on tasks were saved up.
Roughly calculating, there were at least twenty or thirty taels.
Saving up a little more, eventually... it should be enough to buy something for the master’s martial arts cultivation.
Seeing Qing Yu say this, Lu Ye sighed inwardly, knowing she spoke the truth. 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞
If one cannot embark on the path of cultivation, living a peaceful, uneventful life is already considered good for most common folk.
Shaking his head slightly, Lu Ye stopped pondering, extending his hand as well, grasping Qing Yu’s wrist.
"Relax, clear your mind and spirit."
But Qing Yu had no idea what it meant to relax her mind and spirit; she felt tense the moment Lu Ye held her wrist.
She didn’t dare move at all, fearing she would disrupt whatever the master intended to do.
Even though Qing Yu didn’t know... what this was all about.
Soon, she felt as if a strange stream of air had entered her body.
It was cool and slightly ticklish.
Qing Yu was a bit ticklish, but remembering the master’s specific instructions, she could only endure it as her face gradually flushed.
Soon, beads of sweat began to form on her forehead.
Lu Ye explored Qing Yu’s body, finding that her meridians were similarly narrow to Jiang Qingge’s prior to her cultivation, but found nothing else.
With some disappointment, he withdrew the Grandmaster’s Source Qi. Lu Ye knew that whether in a past life or this one, with a population of billions or even trillions, ordinary people made up the vast majority.
How could so many special constitutions appear?
"Huh, what’s wrong with you?"
At this moment, Lu Ye noticed the sweat beads on Qing Yu’s forehead and her unusually flushed face.
"Uh, it’s nothing... Qing Yu is just a bit ticklish. When you entered, my body felt ticklish, and I couldn’t bear it."
Qing Yu initially didn’t want to say it, but if she didn’t, the master would surely ask more, so it was better to be honest.
At this moment, just outside the courtyard, a petite figure seemed like it was about to walk over to chat with Qing Yu.
Upon hearing the "intense dialogue" inside the courtyard, Lv He’s eyes widened.
Ticklish, felt ticklish after entering... What are these embarrassing words!
"Qing Yu, t-this this..."
Lv He immediately assumed that Qing Yu must have finally gotten together with the master?!
"I knew it, close maid, close maid... getting closer and closer, until they got to the shy places!"
Being Qing Yu’s friend, Lv He decisively turned around, deciding not to disturb what she imagined to be their "private moment."
...
In the courtyard.
"Master, are you leaving now?"
Noticing Lu Ye seemed to have the intention of leaving, Qing Yu’s tone carried a slight hint of reluctance.
She could only see him once in several months, and it hadn’t even been two hours yet.
"How about... you stay for dinner? Qing Yu has learned two new dishes recently, let me cook them for you?"
"Alright, that would be great," looking at the little maid’s obvious reluctance in her eyes, Lu Ye smiled slightly.
"It’s no trouble at all! Qing Yu wants to be your maid for a lifetime!"
Hearing this, Qing Yu immediately and happily went out to buy groceries.
...
Elsewhere, in a pitch-black, dim room, there was a gray jar.
Faint rustling sounds came from within, giving a bit of a creepy vibe.
Suddenly, the lid of the gray jar was pushed open from within, and an eerie centipede, about the length of a finger, crept out silently.
In an instant, its numerous legs scuttled away, disappearing into the dark room.
