Splash! Splash! Splash!

Moonlight Rain Court, northwest corner.

In the misty lake, two naked figures were very close to each other.

In the middle, water splashed everywhere.

Luo Qingzhou caught another fish.

Xiao Die wanted to reach out and touch it, but she did not dare to. She did not say that the fish was cute anymore. She swallowed her saliva in surprise and said, “Young Master, we can eat grilled fish again tonight.”

Although the fish was indeed adorable, the grilled fish was also delicious.

“Not tonight.”

Luo Qingzhou threw the fish in his hand into the water again and looked at her.

“First Young Miss might go come anv time tonight.”

Xiao Die was a little disappointed: “All right, I almost forgot.”

“We’ll catch it tomorrow night.”

Luo Qingzhou comforted her and walked towards the shore. “Let’s go. It’s time to go up.”

He would first pay his respects to First Young Miss Qin later and see her reaction. When he returned, he would read for a while if he had time.

“A powerful soul can leave its body. It’s like the wind and smoke, unrestrained.

It can roam at night, day, control objects, and even possess bodies…”

Luo Qingzhou thought of the records in the book “Regarding Soul Refinement.” His heart was filled with curiosity and anticipation.

He decided to continue consuming the ink-black liquid to quickly increase his Spiritual Power and strengthen his soul.

At that time, he could try the cultivation method in the book.

If his soul could leave his body, his cultivation path would be completely different.

The master and servant pair put on their clothes and returned to the small courtyard.

Luo Qingzhou returned to his room and changed his clothes. He took out the Martial Evaluation Stone and held it in his palm. He activated his internal energy to take a look.

[Strength: 550] [Speed: 6] [Resistance: 250]

[Spiritual Power: 15]

Perhaps it was because of yesterday’s life-and-death battle, but his statistics had increased a lot.

In the book, it was recorded that martial artists could only become stronger faster after experiencing life-and-death battles. That made sense.

The sudden increase in Spiritual Power was probably related to the ink-black liquid produced by the Lunisolar Mirror.

The book said that after successfully refining the flesh, one’s strength would be at least 1,200, and the Resistance would be at least 500.

From tomorrow onward, he would continue cultivating and start to refine his flesh!

There was still a month before the new year. He hoped that he could successfully refine his flesh in this month.

After he succeeded in refining the flesh, during the day, he would go out and hunt demon beasts to hone his combat skills and actual combat ability.

At night, he could take the time to try his astral projection.

Just as he was pondering over that, there was a knock on the door.

Then, Zhu’er’s voice sounded at the door. “Xiao Die, is your Young Master here?

My Miss is here to see him.”

As she spoke, she had already pushed open the door and walked in.

Xiao Die hurriedly ran out of the house. “Yes, my Young Master is here.”

Luo Qingzhou put away the Martial Evaluation Stone and walked out of the room.

Qiu’er supported the weak girl and walked in.

A maidservant held an umbrella at the side, and a few grannies followed behind.

It was snowing in the sky, and a cold wind blew past.

Qin Weimo was wearing a moon-white dress and a thick fox fur coat. She coughed lightly and looked up at the young man under the snow in the courtyard. She said gently, “Brother-in-law, I’m sorry to disturb you so late at night.”

Seeing how frail she looked, Luo Qingzhou hurriedly said, “Come on in. It’s snowing heavily outside.”

The maidservant helped the weak girl into the room and onto a chair in the hall.

Xiao Die quickly went to boil water and make tea.

Zhu’er went to the kitchen to help and complained, “Xiao Die, where did your Young Master go in the afternoon? My Miss came in the afternoon, but we didn’t see him.”

Xiao Die exclaimed and said in surprise, “I didn’t know. After lunch, I went to look for Xiao Tao and the others. Young Master should be reading at home.”

Zhu’er snorted and said, “He wasn’t here at all. It wasn’t easy for my Young Miss to go out, but we didn’t see him. You two went out to pray to his mother yesterday and didn’t return the entire night. My Young Miss found out and was very worried, so she came to visit your Young Master…’

Hearing her complaints, Xiao Die did not dare to say anything. She thought to herself, “Young Master, were you hiding in the back garden to practice martial arts in the afternoon?’

In the living room.

Qin Weimo explained gently, “Brother-in-law, I heard that you and Xiao Die didn’t come back last night. Bai Ling even said that you fell on the mountain, so I came to visit. I came at noon, but you weren’t here, so I’m here again now.”

Luo Qingzhou stood at the side and cupped his hands. “Thank you for your concern, Second Young Miss. I’m fine. After lunch, I left the residence and went to the streets to buy a few books to read.”

Qin Weimo smiled. “Brother-in-law, what book did you buy? Can I take a look?”

Luo Qingzhou lowered his head and said, “They’re all books for my exam preparation. They’re not interesting. I don’t think you’ll be interested. If you want to study, I have some poetry collections on my bookshelf that I can give to you.”

Qin Weimo sighed slightly. “I already have these books at my place. Second Brother knows that I like to read and will go out to buy a lot of books every once in a while. My two rooms are filled with them. However, they’re all poetry books, humanities, history, and so on. I’m already a little tired of reading them.”

Luo Qingzhou asked, “Second Young Miss, what kind of books do you want to read?”

Qin Weimo glanced at him and wanted to say something but hesitated. She hesitated for a moment and said to the maidservant beside her, “Qiu’er, you guys go down first. I want to speak to Brother-in-law alone.”

Qiu’er was in a tough spot.

The nanny beside her was also in a pickle.

In the middle of the night, a man and a woman were alone in the same room. Moreover, they were brother-in-law and sister-in-law. If word got out…

However, they had already crossed the line last time. This time…

“Let’s go. We’ll listen to Miss.”

The old lady sighed in her heart and led the maidservant out to the kitchen.

Young Miss was so pitiful. Nothing mattered except for her happiness. She should do things that make her happy.

The hall fell silent, and only the two of them were left.

Luo Qingzhou took the initiative to say, “Second Young Miss, what book do you want to read? Just tell me, and I’ll see if I have it. If not, I’ll go out and buy it for you tomorrow.”

Qin Weimo blushed slightly and looked at him with her limpid eyes. She said gently, “Brother-in-law, I want to read a book like ‘Fragrant Boudoir’. Do you have it?”

Luo Qingzhou was at a loss for words.

He had read this book before. It was about a love story between a man and a woman. In fact… It was a little erotic.

He lowered his head and cupped his hands. “Second Young Miss, that kind of book is not very suitable for you. The story is melancholic, and the ending is tragic. It’s a little depressing to read something like that.”

Qin Weimo looked at him with bright eyes and said gently, “You have seen it too, right? Do you have it? Can you lend it to me? I’ve only heard Zixi talk about it a little, but I’ve never seen it before. I’m longing to read it.”

Luo Qingzhou looked up at her and said, “I borrowed it from the bookstore at that time, so I didn’t buy it.’

Qin Weimo blushed slightly and begged gently, “Brother-in-law, can you… tell me about it?”

Luo Qingzhou was at a loss for words.

He was afraid that after tonight, when he opened his eyes the next day, his mother-in-law would be waiting for him at the head of the bed with a knife.

The person who doted on her the most, Second Brother, even refused to buy it for her. He was courting death if he read it to her.

“Second Young Miss, I’m sorry. It’s been quite a while since I read that, so I have already forgotten the details.”

He lowered his head and declined politely.

Second Young Miss pouted slightly. “You are lying.”

Luo Qingzhou did not dare to stay with her any longer. He cupped his hands and said, “Second Young Miss, it’s getting late. I still have to go to First Young Miss’s place to pay my respects.”

Qin Weimo glanced at him and the coquettish expression on her face disappeared. She slowly stood up from the chair and lowered her head apologetically. “Brother-in-law, I’m sorry for wasting your time. I…” Before she could say anything else, she started coughing violently.

Then, her body went limp and she was about to fall to the ground.

Luo Qingzhou was quick to react. He immediately rushed forward to support her and held onto her slender waist. It was soft and weak to the touch. It was so soft that it made one’s heart ache.

“Second Young Miss, sit down first.”

He helped the girl sit down on the chair behind him. Just as he was about to call Qiu’er and Zhu’er, Qin Weimo suddenly grabbed his hand and said, “Brother-in-law…”

Luo Qingzhou looked at her and asked, “What’s wrong?”

The girl frowned. Her face was pale, and the hand holding his was a little cold. She said gently, “Brother-in-law, do you resent my sister?”

Luo Qingzhou was silent for a moment before saying, “No.”

Indeed, he and Xiao Die should be glad and grateful.

Qin Weimo looked into his eyes and was stunned. With a complicated expression, she said in a low voice, “You’re such a good man…”

Luo Qingzhou was about to speak when she muttered again, “Elder Sister is very pitiful. She has been away for so many years and has suffered so much outside… No one can understand her, so she doesn’t allow anyone to get close to her…”

Luo Qingzhou’s heart skipped a beat. He looked at her and said, “Second Young Miss, do you… do you know who was the one who consummated the marriage with…”

“Sir! What are you doing?”

Before he could finish his words, Zhu’er suddenly appeared at the door. She widened her eyes and looked at the two of them holding hands.

The air suddenly fell silent.

Luo Qingzhou broke free from Second Young Miss Qin’s hand.

However, Zhu’er said angrily, “Sir! Why are you grabbing my Miss’s hand? What are you doing? You… Are you taking advantage of my Miss?” Luo Qingzhou was at a loss for words.

“Little girl, can’t you open your eyes wider and look carefully?”

Qin Weimo hurriedly explained, “Zhu’er, it’s not Brother-in-law’s fault. I stood up and almost fell. Brother-in-law came over to help me. I took the initiative to grab his hand.”

Zhu’er did not say anything else. She walked in with a cold expression and supported her. “Miss, it’s getting late. Let’s go back so that we won’t incur others’ gossip.”

Qin Weimo slowly stood up and looked at the young man in front of her. Her lips moved as if she wanted to say something, but in the end, she did not say anything.

“Qiu’er! Nanny! It’s time for Young Miss to leave. Come quickly!”

Zhu’er shouted at the door.

The chatter in the kitchen stopped abruptly. Footsteps hurried toward them.

Some supported her, those who held umbrellas, and those who scouted the way. There were also a few people following behind.

A group of maidservants surrounded the weak Second Young Miss Qin and left majestically.

Luo Qingzhou stood at the door and looked at the snow falling in the small courtyard. Just as he was in a daze, Zhu’er suddenly returned. She glared at him and said, “Sir, I won’t tell anyone about what happened tonight, but I hope you’ll behave. My Miss is pitiful. I hope you won’t bully her.”

When she said the last sentence, the maidservant’s eyes turned red and her voice trembled.

With that, she turned around and ran away.

Xiao Die came over from the kitchen and asked in confusion, “Young Master, what’s wrong? What is Zhu’er talking about?”

“Nothing. ”

Luo Qingzhou did not say anything else. He walked out of the house and said,

“I’ll go to First Young Miss’ place.”

“Oh, Young Master, go early and come back early. I’ll go change a new set of blankets and sheets for you. Then, I’ll light the oil lamp and candles.”

Xiao Die agreed and entered the house.

Luo Qingzhou stopped in his tracks and thought for a moment. He turned around and said, “Xiao Die, light up more oil lamps and candles.”

Xiao Die poked her head out of the window and said, “Young Master, why are you lighting it so brightly?”

Luo Qingzhou’s eyes flickered and he said calmly, “First Young Miss is so beautiful. When we’re making love tonight, I want to look at her throughout and see her.”

Xiao Die was silent for a while, before suddenly speaking. “Young Master, how shameful of you!”

The little girl blushed and immediately retracted her head..
