Volume 1 Chapter 24: Men Are Troublesome!

  Yangzi Lake is located at the foot of Zhongshan Mountain, with a sparkling lake surface and clear water quality. On the lake embankment, rows of willows sway gently in the breeze, their branches fluttering, adding to the beauty of Yangzi Lake's emerald green waters.

  The beautiful lakeside has many pedestrians stopping to appreciate the beautiful scenery, young men and women chatting on the lake shore, and not a few discussing the wind and moon.

  Qin Luo's eyes gazed into the distance, a faint smile on her lips, standing shoulder to shoulder with her senior brother by the lake. She listened as he introduced her to the various beautiful scenery and interesting stories of Yangzi Lake in his clear and enchanting voice, but she couldn't help muttering under her breath.

  Ten days ago, they set out to return to the Piaoyu Sect. Originally, with the strength of the Great Master Brother's cultivation, returning to the Piaoyu Sect was thought to be just a matter of blinking an eye. Who would have known that after walking for ten days, not only had they not returned to the Piaoyu Sect, but instead were getting farther and farther away from it.

  But things turned out this way, entirely due to the master's excessive enthusiasm. Every time they passed a scenic spot, the master would stop and take her on a tour, playing around afterwards, and then tell her that not far from here, there was an even more beautiful and enchanting place, a must-visit destination for newcomers to Penglai Fairy Island.

  Of course, if it was just sightseeing, she would have been content with a free handsome tour guide who also provided food and lodging.

  But

  She cast a sideways glance at her senior brother beside her, and let out another sigh. She had always known that her senior brother was stunningly handsome, and on the rare occasions they met before, she could still appreciate him as a purely perfect work of art, not to mention maintaining a fairly rational mind, at least 90% rational.

  After ten days of daily interaction, the charm that he unknowingly exuded was becoming increasingly irresistible to her. Especially when his enchanting peach blossom eyes scanned over her, her heart would wildly thump, and she had an urge to transform into a wolf and pounce on him, ravaging him fiercely.

  This man is born to be a seducer of women!

  In the distance, a small wooden boat that could only hold two people facing each other floated gently by. Feng Fei winked with her peach blossom eyes and smiled: "Little sister, this little wooden boat is one of Yangzi Lake's specialties. The boat is extremely light and can move with the wind without needing to be rowed. Brother will take you to try it out."

  Qin Luoyi's face fell, and she was on the verge of tears: "Big Brother..." She hesitated, wanting to refuse him, but not looking at him made her feel like she couldn't control herself, and if they continued to stare at each other like this, she might end up doing something she wouldn't regret.

  At that time, Master Big Brother might feel offended by her and slap her into the water with one palm... then let her live or die on her own, and then... he would deeply resent this disciple!

  No way!

  She gritted her teeth, determined to nip this potential mistake in the bud. Although Master Brother was a bit of a rogue and easily led people astray, compared to that cold-blooded Second Master who was always ready to take her life, he was much better.

  "I've been prone to seasickness since I was a kid, and just seeing water makes me dizzy... Master Brother, let's forget about the canoe, shall we go somewhere else? Standing by the water for too long is making me a bit lightheaded." As she spoke, she touched her forehead, pretending to be dizzy.

  Feng Fei Liu was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and raised an eyebrow, teasingly saying: "Dizzy at the sight of water? Little junior sister, this won't do. The Penglai Fairy Island is surrounded by water on all sides, you'd better get used to it early on. Our Xuanmiao Sect organizes some disciples to go to sea and hunt monsters every year, as the gatekeeper's disciple, you'll naturally have to go too. Moreover, it's not just our Xuanmiao Sect people who go together for training, there are also others from other sects... If someone with ulterior motives finds out that you're afraid of water, they might take advantage of you in the water."

  His smiling expression turned solemn, and after a brief moment of hesitation, he suddenly reached out and grabbed Qin Luo's arm, pulling her towards the opposite bank. There were several empty boats moored at the water's edge. He casually tossed a silver ingot to the boat boy, then leapt aboard a small wooden boat. With a gentle sweep of his wide sleeves, the boat glided into the center of the lake.

  Qin's face turned green, and she struggled slightly: "No way, Big Brother Master, I'm really afraid of water!" She brushed off his hand grasping her wrist and tried to make a dash for the air. Being afraid of water was just an excuse; she wasn't really afraid of it at all, so there was no need to get used to it!

  Feng Fei Li naturally wouldn't let her break free, and with a slight increase in force on his hand, he grasped her wrist even tighter. He comforted her, "Little Shifu, you don't have to be afraid. Today, with Big Shixiong here accompanying you, even if you faint and fall into the water, Big Shixiong will ensure your safety!"

  "No need to trouble Master, I've had this fear of water for some years now, it can't be changed in an instant. When I return to the sect, I'll find a place with shallow water and practice on my own..." Qin Luoyi's mouth twitched as he continued to decline his kindness.

  "Want to practice yourself first?" Feng Fei Lian smiled: "What you mean by practice, isn't it using my wooden bucket filled with water to practice inside?"

  "Of course not!" Qin Luo Yi's mouth opened in denial, but because his wrist was being pulled, the two were very close, so close that he could even smell the faint scent of Long Yan incense on Da Shixiong's body. His heart skipped a beat and he struggled even harder.

  "You practice yourself, no one is watching you." Feng Fei shook her head, with a face full of disapproval, and her hand still gripped her wrist tightly.

  The wooden boat was very light and couldn't withstand the struggles of two people. The boat tilted to one side, and it seemed like it would capsize at any moment. Feng Fei suddenly pulled Qin Luoyi into his arms and said in a low voice, "Little junior sister, don't move, or we'll capsize."

  Qin Luo Yi was stunned, she had never thought that Feng Fei Liu would actually hug her, her face was buried in his chest, her slender waist was tightly wrapped, and the tip of her nose was filled with the scent of dragon musk on him, causing her body to feel weak, and her chest rose and fell rapidly.

  After stabilizing the boat, Feng Fei quickly helped her sit down across from him and then quickly let go of his hand.

  "Alright, you must never again be like just now, or else you'll be turned over." The beautiful and charming face had a faintly teasing expression.

  Qin Luo's heart was racing, she raised her eyes to look at him, but happened to gaze into a pair of smiling peach blossom eyes. She quickly looked away, gazing out at the rippling lake surface.

  The small boat drifted into the middle of the lake, creating ripples in the water that spread out in circles. Suddenly, he thought of his lie about being afraid of water and his face changed several times, unsure whether to close his eyes and pretend not to see, or take advantage of Da Shixiong's distraction to jump ashore, or simply feign unconsciousness.

  As she was hesitating about how to reflect, so as to make her lie come true, a white jade-like palm suddenly fell onto her shoulder, patting it comfortingly and said with a smile: "Little junior sister, don't be afraid, big senior brother is here."

  The low, enchanting voice seemed to carry a hint of subtle charm, causing Qin Luoyi's heart to skip a beat as she nearly fell off the small boat. She closed her eyes tightly, propped her elbows on the side of the boat, pursed her red lips, and remained silent, her lovely face radiant in the sunlight.

  Phoenix's eyes dimmed for a moment, and then her lips curled up into a faint, alluring smile that was both dangerous and enchanting.

  Liu Qingcheng hid behind a distant tree, her enchanting eyes flashing with cold anger. Just now, when she saw her senior brother embracing Qin Luoyi in his arms, she almost couldn't bear it and rushed out to tear that woman into pieces!

  The small boat continued to drift towards the center of the lake, and Qin Luo's clothes were closed. Even with her eyes closed, she could feel two scorching gazes lingering on her body, making her heart skip a beat and feeling restless.

  After a while, she slowly opened her eyes and stared at the scattered ripples in the distance for a moment. Suddenly, she turned around and smiled happily at Feng Fei Liu: "Big Brother Master, it's okay, I've found that I'm no longer afraid of water."

  "Really? That was quick!" Feng Fei Liu raised an eyebrow, clapped her hands and laughed slyly: "It seems that this method of using poison to counteract poison is quite effective."

  Qin fell into the clothes and secretly laughed at himself.

  Still using poison to attack poison? If he's really afraid of water, being forcibly dragged into the water like this would have scared him senseless!

  Before crossing, she had a very good friend who fell into the water when she was young and almost died. Later, although she was rescued, she developed a fear of water and didn't even dare to approach the swimming pool. After marrying her husband, he liked taking baths, so he bought a large bathtub and put it in the bathroom. On their first wedding night, he wanted to take a romantic bath with his wife, but as soon as she got into the water, she fainted... Then they spent their wedding night miserably in the hospital.

  "Master brother, it's getting late, let's go."

  Feng Fei Li looked at her eyes with hidden expectation, couldn't help but slightly hooked the corner of his lips, glanced at the sky, and nodded in agreement.

  With spiritual power propelling the small boat, it soon reached the shore. Finally ending this torturous lake tour, Qin Luo Yi's mood was great, with a charming and radiant smile at the corner of her lips.

  "There's a small town tens of miles away from here, let's rest there tonight and come back tomorrow... after coming several times, you won't be afraid of water anymore." Feng Fei Li stood by her side, gazing at her excited face, smiling.

  Qin Luoyi stumbled and almost fell over, the smile on her face freezing instantly. No way, are you coming again tomorrow?

  The next day, Feng Fei Lu brought Qin Luo Yi to the banks of Yangzi Lake as promised and spent a leisurely morning sailing on a boat, under the guise of helping her overcome her fear of water and seasickness.

  After lunch, Qin Luo was already enchanted by the invisible charm emitted by Feng Fei Liu. He found a very awkward excuse to go to the restroom and hid behind the mountain, taking a long sigh of relief.

  But before she could calm down her racing heart, the big black that had been nowhere to be seen all morning suddenly shot over from a distance, with two slender figures, one in blue and one in white, riding on the divine rainbow and chasing after it.

  Qin's clothes fluttered in his heart, and he suddenly straightened his back. A cultivator who can ride the rainbow in the sky is at least a cultivator who has cultivated the mysterious mansion.
