SQLJBFDTW Chapter 51

Yu Wei understood; Chao Jianxue would be weak for a while whenever he used too much spiritual power. It must be because of his special constitution and congenital deficiency.

Therefore, finding a way to change his senior brother’s constitution was necessary.

He picked up Chao Jianxue. The person who usually liked to be all claws and teeth was now obedient to the extreme, his lightly closed eyelids trembling slightly. He unconsciously clutched Yu Wei’s collar and then pitifully called out, “Little junior brother…”

Yu Wei kissed his forehead and said, “I’ll go find some medicine.”

With that, he tucked the quilt around him. Chao Jianxue was sweating slightly, his inner garment already damp.

Before even a joss stick’s burning time had passed, Yu Wei returned, holding a pitch-black concoction in his hand. He helped Chao Jianxue slowly sit up.

As soon as the medicine entered his mouth, Chao Jianxue seemed to have dreamed of something terrifying. He suddenly opened his eyes and spat it out.

“Bitter…” He blinked, realizing that this wasn’t the white hospital room of his previous life.

It was all because he had recalled that painful past in the illusion. He was terrified and a little shaky, his mouth so bitter he wanted to vomit.

Yu Wei patiently said, “Senior brother, drink a little more.”

Although this medicine was bitter, it was an extremely effective spiritual medicine.

Chao Jianxue knew what was good for him and held his breath to take another sip. But his face twisted immediately; that sip was stuck in his throat, refusing to go down, making him tremble all over.

Seeing him like this, Yu Wei reached out to his lips, “Spit it here.”

Chao Jianxue thought this wasn’t right, but he tried again, and it was really impossible to swallow. He had no choice but to spit it into Yu Wei’s palm, luckily, he hadn’t drunk much.

His face was even redder, mostly from embarrassment.

Yu Wei put down the bowl and walked away. After a short while, he wiped his hand clean and brought a packet of candied fruit, sitting down.

“I… I don’t really want to eat…” Chao Jianxue said softly.

“No.” Unexpectedly, Yu Wei refused him decisively this time.

Seeing that he pursed his lips and didn’t want to open them, Yu Wei directly held a candied fruit in his own mouth. Just as Chao Jianxue was wondering what was happening, he took a sip of the medicine and, holding the back of his head, passed it to him mouth-to-mouth.

Chao Jianxue was so shocked that his eyes widened. Would this kind of domineering CEO-style of feeding medicine actually come from Yu Wei?

However, he had to admit that it was indeed very effective.

Yu Wei’s palm pressed against the back of his head, preventing him from dodging. The medicine, although bitter, was transformed by the candied fruit and was no longer unbearably bitter. Yu Wei’s breath was long and steady, pushing over little by little. If he didn’t swallow, he couldn’t breathe.

Compared to suffocation, Chao Jianxue was more willing to swallow.

He frowned, tightly gripping Yu Wei’s lapels, but he had no strength. His fingertips were trembling, squeezed until the color drained away.

Finally, the medicine was finished. Yu Wei didn’t let him go immediately. The hand pressing the back of his head slowly moved down, pressing on his nape, gently massaging his pressure points.

Chao Jianxue felt like a cat being held by the scruff of its neck, but gradually he adapted to this comfortable kneading, completely relaxing and leaning on Yu Wei’s shoulder, unwilling to move.

He occasionally let out low moans of comfort.

He licked his lips, which were still bitter, and signaled Yu Wei to give him another candied fruit.

Yu Wei, saying “It’s not good to be greedy for sweets,” fed him one, his fingertip brushing his soft lips. Because they had just kissed, his lips were warm. Yu Wei restrained his urge to pinch them.

Originally, they were going to travel around the eleven cities of Dongyuan for a few more days, but because of his illness, they had to shrink back to the inn. After lying down for two days, Chao Jianxue couldn’t stand it anymore.

He was determined to make Yu Wei go out with him.

Yu Wei couldn’t resist him, but before going out, he wrapped him up tightly, almost putting a cloak on him, afraid he would get cold.

How did he become such a weakling now? Just a few days ago, he was stepping on Jiao Demons in the Jade Jungle Immortal Realm. Chao Jianxue was speechless.

The newborn nascent soul in his inner palace was sometimes sleeping and sometimes meditating. When Chao Jianxue went out, the nascent soul also curiously swayed left and right.

Chao Jianxue looked at it from time to time. The nascent soul looked like a small figure of himself.

Cute.

So every nascent soul bigshot has such a cute little person.

Therefore, Chao Jianxue was a little curious about Yu Wei’s.

But Yu Wei said, “Upon entering the Transformation God stage, the nascent soul generally disappears.” In fact, it wasn’t difficult to call it out, but Yu Wei felt that the appearance of his nascent soul wasn’t powerful enough, and he was embarrassed to show it to his senior brother.

The two walked and stopped. Chao Jianxue was seriously watching the swaying willow embankment ahead when Yu Wei suddenly stopped.

He followed Yu Wei’s gaze and saw that the shop was a bookstore.

No way, did they have to be so engrossed in studying during this spring outing!

Chao Jianxue reluctantly followed Yu Wei inside.

Passing through the dazzling array of bookshelves, Yu Wei skipped past the titles “Alchemy,” “Sword Manual,” “Pharmacology,” and so on.

Chao Jianxue, on the other hand, was attracted by these various books. He casually flipped through a few, and the basic cultivation methods were indeed sufficient.

He also flipped to a book about the customs of various places in the Xuanzhen world, reading a few pages with relish, wanting to call Yu Wei to come and see it with him.

Who knew that after walking around the bookshelf, he saw Yu Wei standing in a hidden corner.

The book list there clearly had a large “Joint Cultivation.”

Chao Jianxue immediately felt heat rushing to his face. He stepped forward and grabbed Yu Wei’s sleeve, “What are you looking at!”

Yu Wei was holding a booklet in his hand. Chao Jianxue took a closer look. On the cover were two men, stark naked, entangled together, not at all subtle.

“You! Why are you looking at this here…” Chao Jianxue deliberately lowered his voice, blocking the gazes of others.

Yu Wei was also a little embarrassed, but he tried his best to look upright and serious, whispering to him, “I have never studied books about joint cultivation before.”

Chao Jianxue said, “Aiya, what’s the point of learning it…”

Yu Wei looked at him, “Didn’t senior brother say earlier that it’s not good to talk about sex and change color? Besides, this is joint cultivation, it’s a serious matter.”

It was Chao Jianxue who initially said not to be shy, but when it really came down to it, Chao Jianxue found that he was the one who only talked and didn’t practice.

Chao Jianxue was very ashamed and indignant about this. He angrily took another book from the bookshelf, unwilling to be outdone, and started reading it.

“Senior brother took the wrong one.” Yu Wei said, “This book is about the relationship between men and women; the Dragon Yang one is over here.”

“Ah ah—don’t say it out loud!” Chao Jianxue jumped up to cover his mouth.

He even felt that the gazes of the people around him had become strange, as if they were saying, look, this pair of fellow disciples are dragon yang enthusiasts!

“Senior brother, look at this book.” Yu Wei stuffed one over without explanation.

Chao Jianxue narrowed his eyes and took a look with awe. Knowledge flowed smoothly through his mind like water. Why weren’t there any textual annotations, only pictures!

“I’m not looking.” He quickly closed it and stuffed it back into Yu Wei’s hand.

Then he stood a little further away, watching Yu Wei pick out six or seven books, then went to pay the bill with a calm expression.

Chao Jianxue: “…” He felt that he was wearing too much and was about to faint from the heat.

Read if you want, who’s afraid of who?

If he didn’t know anything, wouldn’t he be completely led by the nose by Yu Wei?

So, back at the inn, Chao Jianxue took advantage of Yu Wei going out to prepare the bathwater and quickly flipped through a book from the pile he bought, then hid under the covers, took out a night-luminescent pearl and carefully studied it.

As he studied, he muttered to himself:

How could anyone do these postures?

Does this really feel good? Where does it feel good?

Why do you have to concentrate on guiding spiritual power? This is too troublesome.

So cultivators don’t have to go through the cycle of the five grains because it’s convenient to do this kind of thing!

Speaking of which, what kind of person is the author of this book!

As he read, Chao Jianxue became a little fascinated. The slightly curious mentality faded away, and he began to admire the characters in the book.

“Senior brother.”

Chao Jianxue was startled and hid the book under his pillow, poking his head out.

Yu Wei looked at him leisurely and said, “The hot water is ready. Is senior brother going to soak now?”

“Go, go, go!” Chao Jianxue jumped out of bed, ran behind the screen, quickly hung up his clothes, and shrunk into the warm bathwater.

He sighed comfortably, genuinely feeling that he was becoming more and more inseparable from Yu Wei.

The curling hot air diffused behind the screen, dampening the embroidery on the screen. Dew-like winding water stains condensed in the stamens of the flowers.

Chao Jianxue was drowsy when a warm hand rested on his exposed shoulder. He shrank back.

Yu Wei said, “It’s me.”

Chao Jianxue was embarrassed, feigning calmness, “I want to soak for a while longer. Go outside and read a book.”

“I’m a little bored alone outside.” Yu Wei inserted his fingertips into his hair, slowly combing down from top to bottom, making Chao Jianxue’s scalp tingle with pleasure.

Then he heard Yu Wei say, “Was senior brother just reading ‘Spring Yang Records’?”

Chao Jianxue opened one eye, “No… well, I read a few pages.” He even saw the book in Yu Wei’s hand that had been flipped out from under his pillow.

“Hmm…” In the hot steam, Yu Wei’s face also had a thin layer of red.

“I just looked at it. This book has a little less theory; another book, ‘Spring Yang Joint Cultivation Essentials,’ is more suitable for first-timers.”

He’s really serious!

Chao Jianxue said, “I just picked it up at random…”

“However…” he told Yu Wei his thoughts when he was reading just now, “I don’t think the postures in here are possible at all!”

Yu Wei leaned against the edge of the tub, opened the book, avoiding eye contact, “Try them one by one when the time comes.”

“Then let’s wait until we’ve read the theory!” Chao Jianxue quickly stopped him.

Delay it as long as possible.

“Also,” Yu Wei pointed to a certain section of a certain chapter, “Many difficult places require the assistance of props; it’s written here.”

Chao Jianxue silently sank down.

Why is he discussing these things with him so seriously?

He vaguely felt that he had boarded a thief ship, but he couldn’t get off. He had blocked his own way out.

Looking at Yu Wei’s curious and secretly expectant appearance, he realized that he also had to show a little expectation.

So only his eyes were left exposed above the water, and he blew bubbles for a while. When Yu Wei said, “This is feasible,” he nodded vigorously in agreement.

Upon closer inspection, it was just hard on the waist!

But hopefully, this day will come later, the later the better.
