Three days later.
"He's awake, awake! Master, now you know how powerful the Misty Spirit Bath is, right? Sixty-eight fractures, skin damage all over the body, and a swollen and deformed face, but everything recovered in three days!"
"Susu is awesome, you should be credited with first place this time!"
"Hehe, that's it, uncle, how are you going to reward me?"
"We'll talk about this later...Xiaoxue, Xiaoxue, how do you feel?"
Fang Xue opened her eyes dazedly, and saw Uncle Qin's concerned face. Sister Su Su beside her was also looking at her with concern.
She had slept for too long and was still a little dazed. She subconsciously moved her hands and feet, causing a splashing sound. Fang Xue then said:
"I can move my body now and it doesn't hurt anymore."
Liu Su said happily: "That's great! You have serious external injuries, but fortunately your spiritual field and meridians are not damaged. Once the external injuries are healed, everything will be fine!"
After saying that, he suddenly exclaimed, and pointed at a patch of skin below Fang Xue's chest:
"Why is there still a small black spot here? Hasn't it been cured? Hey, son-in-law, let's practice our skills for a while, so as not to leave a scar on Xiaoxue's body."
Fang Xue then realized that she was naked in front of Uncle Qin!
She screamed, covered her chest with her hands, and said in panic:
"No, no need, Sister Susu, there, there..."
She looked at Qin Gengyun and lowered her head in shame: "That's a mole, not a scar."
"Oh, it's a beauty mark under the chest, haha, that's okay!"
Liusu smiled carelessly, with her hands on her hips, and stood up from the water with a splash. Her snow-white body was clearly visible, and countless water droplets flowed down along her soft curves.
Qin Gengyun beside him turned his head away helplessly, but Liusu didn't care at all. She just walked out of the bathtub, wiped her body with a towel, and then turned back and said:
"Xiaoxue, come out quickly, I will help you wipe your body."
"I, I, I don't need it. I can do it myself."
Fang Xue covered her chest with her hands, secretly glanced at Qin Gengyun next to her, her cheeks flushed.
Liusu chuckled: "Oh, you're still embarrassed. I've seen hundreds of places I shouldn't have seen in the past three days. Why are you still covering it up?"
She dried herself, put on her clothes and walked out of the bathroom, looking back and urging:
"Hurry up, both of you!"
At this time, only Qin Gengyun and Fang Xue were left in the bathroom, and the atmosphere suddenly became quiet and awkward.
Fang Xue buried her head in the water and didn't dare to look at Qin Gengyun at all.
Cough, cough, Qin Gengyun coughed dryly, and the other party said:
"Fellow Daoist Fang, this time you fought two ninth-level Qi training cultivators alone, and you didn't retreat even though you were seriously injured. You are so loyal and righteous, and you are so tenacious. I admire you so much!"
After that, he bowed to Fang Xue earnestly. Fang Xue then raised her head and looked at Qin Gengyun who was bowing to her. Her cheeks turned even redder and she waved her hands repeatedly:
"Uncle Qin, you are too kind. Third Senior Sister helped me reunite with my parents, and Sister Qiu showed me the way. You took good care of my father and promised to help my father eradicate the poison. You are all my benefactors, and I cannot allow anyone to hurt you."
Seeing Fang Xue's serious expression, Qin Gengyun couldn't help but sigh:
"Xiaoxue, didn't you think at that time that if you died, your parents would have no one to take care of them, wouldn't you regret it?"
Fang Xue was startled, then shook her head in confusion:
"I didn't have time to think about it. Even if I did, I couldn't figure it out. All I knew at the time was... I couldn't retreat."
Her young and tender face was full of innocence, with blushes on both cheeks. Her flawless white body glowed with a holy light under the illumination of the glass lamp.
Even though what she did was so heroic and exciting, she had a silly and cute face, like an ignorant little girl.
It is both admirable and lovable.
"Sorry to bother you for a moment."
Liusu poked her head in, looking a little strange:
"Uncle, Xiaoxue's parents are here."
Fang Xue cried out, "Oh, I was so anxious to save Third Senior Sister that I forgot to tell my parents that I was coming to see you!"
She wanted to stand up, but when she saw Qin Gengyun beside her, she shyly shrank back into the water.
Liusu chuckled and said, "Uncle and aunt brought a lot of things, saying they were Xiaoxue's dowry."
Half an incense stick later, Fang Xue and Qin Gengyun put on their clothes and came out of the bathroom. Liusu led them outside.
Fang Xue's aqua green skirt and undergarment with emerald patterns had been stained with blood, and now she was wearing a dress with tassels.
Qin Gengyun asked curiously, "Why didn't you invite Daoist friend Fang and his wife to sit in the inner hall?"
Liusu rolled her eyes and said, "It was the young lady who asked them to go to the pavilion outside. Why, does the uncle want them to see you and Xiaoxue bathing together?"
Fang Xue's cheeks turned red again when she heard this. She lowered her head and followed Qin Gengyun silently.
Qin Gengyun was also choked by Liusu and was speechless. Suddenly he remembered something and asked Liusu in a low voice:
"Is the lady angry?"
"Haha!" Liusu laughed loudly, saying sarcastically, "Master finally remembered Miss, haha!"
Qin Gengyun glared at her, knowing that this might be a big misunderstanding, and hurried to the pavilion beside the pond.
Qiu Zhihe was sitting in the pavilion with Fang Chao and his wife, drinking tea. When they saw him and Fang Xue coming, the three of them had different expressions.
Qiu Zhihe sat quietly, ignoring Qin Gengyun's look for help.
When Fang Chao and his wife saw that Fang Xue had changed her clothes, they looked at each other with bitter expressions. They both stood up and saluted Qin Gengyun. Fang Chao said:
"Fellow Daoist Qin, you and my daughter love each other, and her mother and I are very happy. We have come here today to give my daughter her dowry, but..."
Fang Chao looked at Qin Gengyun and continued cautiously:
"My daughter is already a disciple of Zhenyang Sect. The sect's rules are very strict. Disciples are not allowed to have romantic relationships. Why don't we wait until Xiaoxue returns to Zhenyang Mountain to report to her master before discussing this?"
"Fellow Daoist Qin, I am sending you my dowry today. I am willing to enter into this marriage, but my daughter's sect rules are above all else. If this cannot be accomplished, please do not blame me!"
After Fang Chao finished speaking, he pulled his wife beside him, and they both bowed to Qin Gengyun again.
Fang Xue was stunned, and quickly pulled the two of them together: "Dad, Mom, when did Uncle Qin and I... fall in love with each other?"
Fang Chao's wife pulled Fang Xue aside and asked in a low voice, "Daughter, don't hide it from your parents. Have you been with Fellow Daoist Qin day and night these days?"
"This..." Fang Xue didn't want to lie in front of her parents, so she was speechless when she heard this.
Fang Chao on the other side looked at Qin Gengyun with a nervous expression, and bowed to him to apologize.
Qin Gengyun was confused for a moment, but finally understood what Fang Chao meant.
In fact, Fang Chao didn't want his daughter to marry him. First, the generation difference was a bit strange. Second, Fang Xue had already joined the Zhenyang Sect and had a bright future. If she was expelled from the sect because of her affair, she would be destroying her own future.
However, Fang Chao was worried about offending Qin Gengyun, whose cultivation level was far beyond what it had been before, so he had to offer his daughter's dowry to show his sincerity, and on the other hand, he brought out the sect rules of Zhenyang Sect, hoping to dispel Qin Gengyun's "coveting" for his daughter.
This operation is extremely painstaking, and it makes people sigh at the parents' painstaking care for their children.
At this time, Qiu Zhihe spoke calmly:
"My dear, Xiaoxue is young, beautiful and kind. You must not let her down. I will go and decorate the bridal chamber. You two can get married today."
