Back to the martial arts school, they enshrined the severed arm in the main hall and perford a grand ritual to pay homage.
Liao Ya wore a sorrowful expression, her large eyes misty, "Dad knew he might not return when he left that year, but he still went..."
Liao Qe interlocked her fingers with her father's, fully recalling the sound and smile of her dear relative, especially the warmth of his large hand, which imdiately brought tears to her eyes like pearls slipping from a broken string.
Lu Yao sighed. Without offering consolation, he too had known the pain of losing a loved one and understood that expressing these emotions was better than bottling them up inside.
~~~~~~~
After a while, the two girls recovered and wiped away their tears.
The three of them gathered in the courtyard to discuss their plans.
Liao Ya, with her gentle voice, softly said, "Junior Brother, I know you must think I'm acting rashly by challenging Sun Haoran directly."
Lu Yao shook his head, "Not at all, Senior Sister, you are both beautiful and intelligent, not soone who acts recklessly. There must be a reason."
Hearing him say this, Liao Ya felt both shy and comforted.
"Sun Haoran will certainly not accept defeat, and who knows what despicable sches he still has up his sleeve; moreover, he has many followers and is even colluding with the Hailong Gang. We are weak and few by comparison. It's better to go straight to the arena and kill him, once and for all!"
Lu Yao stroked his chin thoughtfully for a mont before agreeing, "Indeed. A direct execution is the best solution, not giving the enemy the chance to act. But are you confident you can win?"
"My original approach was simply to snatch a life out of death, the chances of victory were not high. But with your help, Junior Brother, I am confident that I can kill this foe in a month!"
Liao Ya looked towards where the silver was hidden, full of confidence:
"I've already figured out a way to rapidly enhance my strength with the silver—a way to use ambergris! It can improve blood circulation and boost vital energy; it also calms the mind, allowing one to enter a 'forgetful' state in a short period. We can all use it!"
It seed the sisters had a special fondness for resources that "everyone can use," always choosing such things.
Lu Yao had no objections, "Whatever you decide, Senior Sister, is fine. Don't worry about the silver; I have plenty."
Liao Ya chuckled, "There's no need; a thousand taels of silver are enough. Normally, ambergris is incredibly expensive, rumored to cost three maces of fragrance per tael of silver. I wouldn't have dared to consider it..."
Liao Ya paused suddenly, then with both hands clasped in a fist, she bowed deeply to Lu Yao, her pretty face full of sincerity:
"Junior Brother, I really can't thank you enough! Not just for the silver, but if you hadn't risked your life in the arena, we would have lost the martial arts school and Dad's remains. Thank you!"
Lu Yao promptly helped her up, shaking his head, "Why are you giving thanks again? We are fellow disciples, a family. It's only right we help each other~"
But he couldn't raise Liao Ya to her feet; the girl insisted on completing her bow.
"Junior Brother, you had already cleared the so-called debt of saving your life. Now it is us sisters who owe you a great deal. I really don't know how to repay you. I have only one sister who is quite presentable and has a good character..."
Before she could finish, Liao Qe began to blush, "Sister, what are you saying~" as she grasped her sister's hand, her big eyes stealing glances at Lu Yao.
Liao Ya smiled, "What, you don't want to?"
"I do, I do want to!" Liao Qe promptly declared, fearing her sister might retract the offer. Having gone through so much together, she had completely set her heart on Lu Yao, determined to marry no other.
Liao Ya then said to Lu Yao, "Junior Brother, if I fall in battle a month from now, you two should leave Yunzhou and flee far away... take good care of her, will you?"
[It was indeed an intention to entrust her care. After all, it's a battle against a veteran of the Marrow-Cleansing Realm, and none could guarantee a 100% chance of victory.]
Lu Yao understood her intentions and promised earnestly, "I'll treat her as even more important than myself."
At that, Liao Ya imdiately relaxed, visibly more at ease.
Liao Qe threw herself into her sister's arms, muffling her voice, "Sister, I want to stay with you forever, and not go anywhere!"
"Are you silly? I, who have dedicated myself to the Martial Path, am destined to a solitary life, while you are ant to marry and carry on the family line."
"No, I just want to be with you~"
Liao Ya wrapped her sister in her arms. They clung to each other tightly, their sisterly affection deep and the mont warm.
But it wasn't long before Liao Qe couldn't stand it, suffocated by the overly ample bosom, she promptly wriggled free to gasp for air.
Lu Yao nearly laughed aloud, maintaining a serious face, he said, "Don't worry about the sparring, once I'm healed, I'll return ho for a few things, and I will make sure to kill that son of a bitch Sun Haoran."
~~~~~~~
With an injury on his shoulder, Liao Qe beca his personal caregiver.
These days, Lu Yao turned into the true "Young Master Lu," with food brought to his mouth and clothes handed to him, and every day there was a charming girl by his side, life couldn't be any better!
At the mont, the two of them sat side by side in the courtyard, with Liao Qe helping him clip his nails.
Lu Yao fiddled with the girl's smooth and lovely braids, inquiring, "You're with all day, don't you practice martial arts anymore? Actually, my injury is healed, you shouldn't delay your cultivation."
As he finished speaking, he moved his shoulder to indicate he was fine. The wound dicines from Otherworld weren't exactly scientific either—the scabs ford on the third day.
"Sister told to stabilize my realm for two days before preparing for Organ Refining. Starting tomorrow, I won't be able to stay with you, so I want to spend more ti with you now."
The girl said, squatting down to also trim his toenails.
The more Lu Yao looked at Liao Qe, the more he liked her, and he couldn't resist wrapping his arm around her waist to have her sit next to him, "You know~ your sister has offered you to ~"
"As if~ Keep dreaming~" Liao Qe teased, coquettishly using her braid as a weapon, tickling Lu Yao's neck.
Fully appreciating the beauty of the girl's waist, Lu Yao couldn't help but exclaim in admiration, "You're so smooth."
His hand could easily cover the girl's small waist; it was white and supple with an excellent touch, and she even had defined abs.
Her hands kept working, but Liao Qe's body first stiffened, then softened, until she completely collapsed onto him.
"A few touches on the belly shouldn't affect you this much, should they?" Lu Yao looked down to see her cheeks were flushed, her eyes misty.
Turns out, martial artists have robust bodies and abundant vitality, with desires far stronger than the average person. A maiden in the bloom of youth could hardly bear a lover's caress, and now she was thoroughly confused and smitten.
Just as Lu Yao's hand began to move up, Liao Qe grabbed it.
Her gaze becoming clear again, she chided with faux anger, "I can be with you, but you must show respect, and not dishonor ~"
Feigning frustration, Lu Yao said, "It's really hard for to hold back."
Liao Qe shyly brought her head closer, whispering, "Don't rush, my body will be yours sooner or later. But sister said—'Marrow-Cleansing' must be achieved before consummation, otherwise one's mind gets filled with distractions, adding many difficulties."
Lu Yao teased her, "Then don't waste ti, go on with your cultivation~ Try to reach the 'Marrow-Cleansing Realm' today~"
Liao Qe giggled and playfully pounded him with her small fists.
At that mont, Liao Ya, who had been in the quiet room stabilizing her realm, ca out.
She exhaled a breath arrow, which flew nearly 10 ters before disappearing, satisfied, she nodded her head and then declared, "Enough rest, let's continue training!"
