Let Me Explain, Fairy-Chapter 73 - Sixty-Nine Aunt Lou Ji
73: Chapter Sixty-Nine: Aunt Lou Ji
73 -Sixty-Nine: Aunt Lou Ji
Xu Yuan’s footsteps paused slightly as he glanced back at her.
The surface of the lake shimmered, and a gentle breeze teased the woman’s jet-black hair.
Her alluring peach blossom eyes, which seemed like they could bewitch anyone, appeared crystal clear and translucent at that moment.
Xu Yuan was quite satisfied with Su Jinxuan’s reaction.
Compared to discussing feelings, most of the time he preferred when others talked about money.
Talking about money might hurt feelings, but talking about feelings could sometimes hurt both money and feelings.
The cultivation secret technique of the Enchantress Divine Physique was indeed precious, but that was only to those with the Enchantress Divine Physique.
Without the Enchantress Divine Physique, no matter how precious the secret technique was, it could only be used to prop up a table leg and collect dust.
“Good, I’ll remember too, waiting for you to pay me back in the future,” he said.
“Mm..”
Su Jinxuan hummed softly, a hint of a smile in her beautiful eyes, as she carefully tucked the secret technique into her sleeve.
The weather by the wetland lake was clear and sunny, everything so perfectly calm.
Basking in the warm winter sun, the two of them walked on together for a while, but after a short distance, only the woman remained by the peaceful lakeside…
Xu Yuan had left.
Having made his investment, he had to report to Aunt Lou Ji in the Imperial Capital.
He walked towards the northwestern courtyard, where, unlike in his memories, the Protector on duty this time did not stop him.
The status of the Third Young Master still stood, and as his mannerisms became increasingly reliable over the past few days, all the previously restricted areas within the mansion became accessible to him.
Entering the secluded chamber alone, a large spherical crystal used for communication lay quietly at the center of the formation patterns on the floor.
Having used this item a few times recently, Xu Yuan had come to know how to activate it.
The Communication Formation was complex, but the activation was quite simple.
Standing in the center of the spacious chamber, Xu Yuan placed his hand on the surface of the sphere.
The next moment,
Buzz—
A humming sound vibrated as a white light spread from within the spherical crystal, illuminating the intricate formation patterns on the floor as if water flowing into a channel.
After a few breaths,
The light faded, and the sphere that had been lying close to the ground began to float gently into the air.
Looking at the scene before him, Xu Yuan seemed to exhale a sigh of wonder.
Sometimes he was really amazed by the technology tree of this world.
Maybe after a few thousand years of development, they really could create a sort of cultivator’s version of a mobile phone.
With the formation activated, the next step was “dialing.”
After fiddling for about a minute, Xu Yuan withdrew his hand from the Source Crystal and began to meditate and regulate his breath.
Making calls in this world was troublesome, as the other party couldn’t always be expected to be right next to their Communication Formation.
He sat in meditation in the chamber for about half an hour.
Suddenly, a female voice sounded:
“You’ve waited long enough.
I never thought you, Changtian, would actually take the initiative to contact your sister here.”
The voice echoed in the silent chamber, seemingly so sultry it could drip water.
Upon hearing this, Xu Yuan slowly opened his eyes, unconsciously recalling the speaker’s appearance in his mind.
To be honest, if one only looked at the surface and the personality, this Lou Ji seemed more like an Enchantress Divine Physique than Su Jinxuan.
While Su Jinxuan liked to wear plain white clothes in her leisure time to hide her prideful figure, Lou Ji wandered around the Prime Minister’s Mansion every day in low-cut dresses, perfectly emulating the fashion style of a character from a former life.
Very seductive, a venomous femme fatale.
Of course,
The venomous femme fatale part referred to her interactions with the main characters in the storyline.
In the dungeons of the Black Scale Guards, several of his uncles and aunts were still imprisoned, and due to the strength of their Primordial Realm bodies, most punishments were personally carried out by her.
She was the feared leader of the Black Scale Guards.
But that was towards outsiders; Lou Ji had always treated him very well.
She had been good to him all his life.
Once, she even risked damaging her Origin Energy and regressing in her cultivation realm just to use her technique to forcibly change his meridians and marrow.
Unfortunately, it had failed.
And that failure had cast a shadow over his still young mind.
It was too painful.
Having never cultivated before, he didn’t understand all this and just felt that this woman was malicious and wanted to torture him…
With that in mind, Xu Yuan said out loud:
“Aunt Lou…”
“Call me sister~” Lou Ji’s tone was soft, teasing.
“Alright, Aunt Lou.”
“….”
Lou Ji was silent for a second, then laughed lightly:
“Changtian, you’re really not cute.
It looks like I’ll have to teach you a lesson when you return to the Imperial Capital~”
“You’re free to do so,” replied Xu Yuan.
“Tsk, getting less and less cute.”
“Cough.”
Xu Yuan coughed lightly, steering the conversation back on track:
“I’ve already given the Enchantress Divine Physique’s secret technique to Su Jinxuan.”
Lou Ji’s alluring voice seemed somewhat displeased:
“I know.
You sent Ying’er to ask for that thing from me, so you could give it to that vixen.”
Because of his memories, Xu Yuan was used to her tone and directly shot back, “Isn’t it a bit inappropriate for you to call her a vixen?”
Lou Ji didn’t pay attention to his comment, her tone still jovial:
“I’m not an Enchantress Divine Physique, so why can’t I call her a vixen?
You’ve only known her for a few days, and you’re already speaking up for her.
Sister is really heartbroken~”
As she spoke,
Her voice took on a grievance:
“You just gave away a secret technique worth fifty thousand taels like it was nothing.
Because of this, old man Hua Hong chewed me out all day, saying that my Black Scale Guards owe his Tian’an Commerce Assembly fifty thousand taels.”
Hua Hong, one of his father’s trusted aides.
The head of Tian’an Commerce Assembly, always seen with scholarly glasses.
The ultimate miser.
“So, did you compensate him?” Xu Yuan asked with a smile.
Upon hearing the question, Lou Ji was silent for two seconds, then suddenly snorted unhappily, “Compensate?
Compensate for what?
The money of the Black Scale Guards is earned with our lives; why should we compensate?”
