My Wife Is The Final Boss-Chapter 689 - 0395 Xu Chang’an Does Not Believe in Eradicating Evil Thoroughly (Two-in-One)
Even for someone as familiar as Li Zhibai, it’s difficult to associate the once aloof and noble Hidden Immortal Zhu Tongjun with the current Demon Lord of Mayhem, the female troublemaker.
However, if there’s something about the former Zhu Tongjun and the current Zhu Pingniang that can be recognized at a glance... it’s not cultivation, not appearance, nor the cultivation technique practiced, but a pair of fair, slender, and extremely beautiful hands.
Whether in cultivation or Zither Technique, saying that three-tenths of Zhu Tongjun’s entire Karma Technique relies on her hands wouldn’t be an exaggeration.
Hence, Zhu Pingniang doesn’t cultivate Spiritual Techniques; even crafting a fine sword is meant to be gifted to someone else. Truly, as the girls of Muyu Peak say, besides playing the zither, it’s all about punching people.
Even the Demon Sect cannot gain any advantage from these fists.
So, does Zhu Pingniang’s fondness for girls with beautiful fingers count as her personal unique hobby?
After all, if Li Zhibai didn’t have skillful hands to sort through those mixed herbal Spiritual Powers, how could he refine elaborate Elixirs?
In the past, Zhu Pingniang never felt that a man’s hands could be attractive, given their structure, so she never really paid attention to Xu Chang’an’s hands. If she hadn’t watched him carefully peeling eggshells, she wouldn’t have noticed the dexterity.
Earlier, when the young man held the knife, the trajectory traced by his fingertips genuinely left her in a daze for a long time, as if there was something contained within.
Having reached Zhu Pingniang’s cultivation realm, she wouldn’t feel inexplicably touched... but to say her moment of enlightenment lay in Xu Chang’an’s hands... To grasp any so-called truth from the hands of a junior would make Zhu Pingniang feel so ashamed she’d rather disappear underground than bear it publicly.
But liking is liking; wanting to take a few more glances... is indeed her genuine feeling.
Zhu Pingniang is not one to wrong herself.
Chang’an, being sensible, is willing to humor her unreasonable requests to perform music, but she can’t be insensible. So getting Xu Chang’an to perform for the brothel girls is absolutely impossible; forget what others might think, even the dissatisfaction from the listening girls could drown her.
So performing on stage is absolutely out of the question.
However, she is indeed very interested in Xu Chang’an’s hands. After all, one can’t help but feel touched; especially with that feeling emanating from inside, as if a single step forward could lead to some revelation, gently scratching at Zhu Pingniang’s heart and making her restless.
Ultimately, it comes down to Xu Chang’an’s current ambiguous identity, being called "Immortal Reincarnation" by the Sect Leader.
Otherwise, even if Zhu Pingniang felt touched, it would just be an old cow grazing on young grass looking dazed at her own boy’s hands.
But once the word ’Immortal’ is involved, Zhu Pingniang can’t help but be interested.
Anyway, it’s definitely not because she’s lustful, absolutely not.
Given the path Zhu Pingniang walks, if Xu Chang’an can perform a piece, that’s good. If not, other methods would do.
"Chang’an, sister, you don’t need to perform anymore." Zhu Pingniang’s eyes sparkled with a lively gleam, and she said eagerly:
"Come, give sister a punch, let me see what it feels like."
"...?"
???
Xu Chang’an was truly stunned by this.
No matter how whimsical Zhu Pingniang’s thinking was, there should be a trace to follow, right? Just earlier she was talking about him performing on stage, and now she wants him to punch her???
What happened?
Xu Chang’an was bewildered.
Letting him perform isn’t a big deal; after all, Xu Chang’an knows he owes the seniors too much, and there’s no way he can repay them now. He’s not worried about reputation, and performing for the girls isn’t a big deal. If Miss Yun is absent, he might hesitate, but with Yun Qian present, he can boldly say nothing is off-limits.
Hmm... Xu Chang’an thought that it was even more inappropriate to leave the girls and play chess with his senior sisters after returning to Muyu Peak.
But when it comes to "sparring" with Senior Zhu, that’s totally out of the question.
"What are you dazing out for, don’t you understand sister’s words?" Zhu Pingniang said excitedly, "Chang’an, give me a punch or a palm, let’s see if I can discern anything?"
"..." Xu Chang’an was at a loss and could only say helplessly, "Ms. Zhu, senior... I’d rather perform on stage." 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮
"No way, if Ah Bai finds out, she’ll eat me alive, and even if Ah Bai doesn’t trouble me, the group of shameless women in the Hundred Herbs Garden who only know how to seduce others’ disciples would seize the opportunity to exploit it." Zhu Pingniang shook her head vigorously, "What sister just said was nonsense, I absolutely can’t let you lose face... not right, that’s not important, quick, hit me."
?
Miss Zhu, do you even know what you’re saying right now?
Xu Chang’an, who originally felt comfortable staying alone in this small kitchen, now truly felt like he was sitting on pins and needles. He had a vague feeling that Zhu Pingniang was serious.
This senior, who is heavily indebted to him, seemed to genuinely want him to hit her.
Xu Chang’an: "..."
Zhu Pingniang: "..."
Facing each other in silence, after a slight pause, a question mark appeared on Zhu Pingniang’s forehead, and then her old face turned red.
Oh.
She was so caught up in grasping that little heart palpitation that she forgot Xu Chang’an wouldn’t understand such headless and inexplicable words.
So Zhu Pingniang thought for a moment, then said, "Chang’an, how do others view me staying in this Flower Moon Building, as someone who has given in to depravity?"
"Of course not." Xu Chang’an, seeing Zhu Pingniang calm down from her excitement and able to communicate properly, finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He thought for a moment, then said, "Refining Heart."
Everyone believes that Fairy Zhu is refining her heart amidst the mundane world.
