High Martial World: I Gain Passive Skills Daily Chapter 58 - 57: She Beat Me Up in the Womb

Chen Kuang, of course, wasn’t drunk, nor could he get drunk.

Perhaps it was a byproduct of fully activating the Carefree Wine, but now his alcohol tolerance had improved, and after downing dozens of glasses just now, he seed completely unaffected.

He ended up drinking Lin Er You, the host, into a stupor instead.

"Even though the status bar didn’t refresh, I guess I manually added a ’never gets drunk’ passive to myself..." Chen Kuang thought to himself.

But sotis, it’s not the wine that gets you drunk, but yourself.

"Are you drunk yet?" Shen inan’s eyes, which were strikingly similar yet completely different from Shen Xingzhu’s, were close at hand.

"A little," Chen Kuang nodded seriously, playing along.

Shen inan studied his face, her gaze tracing every contour.

In reality, anyone who wasn’t blind could see that Chen Kuang wasn’t drunk at all. His face was fair and handso, with a calm and composed deanor, showing no signs of intoxication whatsoever. Even when he stood up, he was as steady as a rock.

But after watching for a while, the girl beca certain and said, "I think you’re quite drunk. Let help you to the guest room, lest you fall along the way."

Chen Kuang smiled and said, "Thank you, Fellow Daoist Shen."

Shen inan hesitated for a mont, reached out her left hand, and pulled him along, her ears suddenly turning a little red.

She mumbled, "Um... you, you can just call inan. Otherwise, with so many Fellow Daoists nad Shen in the world, how would I know who you’re calling?"

"Alright, Miss inan."

Chen Kuang responded compliantly in a low voice.

He lowered his head and saw the girl stumble, moving clumsily like a drunkard, and couldn’t help but smile.

Really, who’s the blind drunk here...

The guest room Lin Er You had arranged for Chen Kuang was just a floor below, requiring only a descent down the stairs and a turn, not very far at all.

However, Shen inan repeatedly reminded Chen Kuang to be extrely careful, almost wanting to narrate the height of each step in excruciating detail.

This short journey ended up taking an entire two quarters of an hour.

Chen Kuang even felt as if his palm would start sweating from being held too tightly.

However, in reality, this was rely an illusion caused by the girl’s tight grip, which she probably didn’t even notice herself.

Shen inan chattered non-stop like a little bird along the way, as if trying to cover her own nervousness, while inadvertently allowing Chen Kuang to glean so information.

Shen inan glanced back at him, curious, "Did you co to Jishao County to visit family? Are you from Jishao County?"

Chen Kuang nodded, "Sort of. I lived in Jishao County as a child, but left later."

Following the conversation, he countered, "And you, Miss inan?"

"?"

Shen inan was taken aback, "There’s actually not much... I ca to Jishao County to travel and cultivate, to broaden my horizons... uh..."

Her voice grew softer and softer.

"Alright then."

She paused, suddenly pursing her lips, and with downcast eyes, she quietly said, "That’s what I tell everyone, but in truth, I just sneaked out from ho for fun. You mustn’t tell anyone."

Ah, so it’s running away from ho...

At her age, such actions didn’t seem all that surprising.

One can’t help but be curious, though, about what kind of upbringing could simultaneously produce a Shen Xingzhu and a Shen inan.

Chen Kuang shook his head and said with a smile, "That’s not what I was asking."

"I ant... where is Miss inan from, and what’s her family like?"

Shen inan stamred, glancing back at him, "My, my family?"

Chen Kuang nodded, "Yes."

He sighed, "To be honest, I lost contact with my family as a child. Although I say I’m here to visit relatives, I’m actually here to search for them. As a result, I’m feeling anxious upon approaching ho and don’t quite know how ordinary people interact with their families."

"If Miss inan could give so advice and share your experiences, that would be most welco."

Shen inan opened her mouth.

So he had such a difficult past.

Yet another blind man, who knows how much he’s suffered to beco a cultivator...

While Shen inan saw his outer calm as feigned strength, she couldn’t help but feel apprehensive, sensing a responsibility to provide so useful advice.

Yet despite pondering over it, no warm family scenes ca to mind.

A feeling of frustration inevitably set in.

She pouted and said with so dejection, "You’ve truly asked the wrong person!"

"I have a twin sister in my family. Born from the sa mother’s womb, yet we’re as different as heaven and earth."

So they are sisters!

Although Chen Kuang already knew the answer, he couldn’t resist teasing, "I bet Shen inan is the heaven."

Shen inan’s twin ponytails imdiately bounced with joy, the bells jingling rrily, "Of course I’m the heaven, but... but others don’t think so."

Her twin ponytails drooped again, sagging like a rabbit’s drooping ears.

"My sister is aloof and stunning beyond comparison, destined to be unmatched in the world, an unrivaled celestial beauty. From a young age, I’ve heard so much praise about her that my ears have calluses."

"Though as she grew older, they didn’t even dare to complint her anymore, leaving only fear and trepidation in their voices."

"And ?"

Shen inan tugged at her ponytail, winding it around her finger, muttering resentfully.

"I was born ten years after her, with average talent and looks, blending into a crowd without being noticed."

"They never had a kind word for , always ’your sister this,’ ’your sister that,’ running comparisons about where I fell short today and where I fell short yesterday..."

No... at least in one aspect, you’re not average.

In fact, it’s quite exceptional.

Chen Kuang couldn’t help but think.

Of course, he dared not voice such comforting words, for fear of being thrown into the lake.

However, Shen inan was undoubtedly being overly self-critical.

Her eyes were identical to Shen Xingzhu’s, and given that they were twins, her looks couldn’t be far off either.

Her face was charmingly sweet and lively, blessed with a touch of chubby baby fat – any heavier would appear clumsy, any lighter would be wild. In poetic terms, she was like... a glowing cherry amidst pure white prunus swarms.

Though they were still sowhat youthful, she was without doubt a first-rate beauty in the making.

"Wait a minute."

Chen Kuang paused in his steps, suddenly realizing a flaw: "Ten years? Aren’t you supposed to be twins? How could you be born ten years apart?"

At this ntion, Shen inan beca even more agitated.

The girl’s brows rose sharply as she huffed indignantly, "You don’t know, it’s all that bad woman’s fault!"

"We were supposed to be born together, but because she punched and kicked in the womb, I was thin and frail, leading my mother to believe one child was already dead, halting the labor process."

"Thus I ended up staying in the womb for another ten years, until my vitality revived and my mother gave birth to again."

"At birth, my body was covered in bruises, it was tragic!"

Shen inan described the ergency of the situation with a solemn expression.

"..."

Chen Kuang twitched the corner of his mouth.

Halting childbirth midway, then spending ten more years in the womb before being born?

Forgive my boldness, but are you sure they didn’t just forget to remove the placenta and gave birth to a placenta?
