Chapter 5: The Sister-in-Law's Jade Feet

Zhu Xiaohan's uncle's house was located at the end of the village, with a small river nearby.

Wang Ping'an looked at the house in front of him and was speechless.

This dilapidated house had collapsed halfway, leaving only one bedroom.

Not to mention sleeping, there wasn't even a place to eat.

"You'll have to make do for now. If you have silver, there are carpenters and masons in the village who can help repair the house. But it's so late, everyone is resting, so you should rest early as well."

The village chief was a good person. After saying this, he even had his wife bring some food and dishes.

After eating, the village chief's family left.

...

...

"Oh, we do have some silver, but it won't be much after repairing the house! We still need to buy food and clothes for the next few days..."

Inside the house.

A bonfire was burning.

The two of them, like a young couple, were planning for the future.

"Sister-in-law, I'm a warrior, you don't need to worry."

Wang Ping'an was indeed not worried.

This place was surrounded by mountains, and there were definitely many mountain goods.

If there was no food, he would go hunting.

Once they settled down, he planned to go to a big city to learn skills.

This was a world of martial arts!

He had heard that some pharmacists and engravers made a lot of money.

As long as his willpower was sufficient, he could quickly grasp the skills.

Hearing this, Zhu Xiaohan's face showed a relieved smile.

Life was moving in a positive direction.

At the same time, Wang Ping'an also received a willpower reward.

[Desire completed, willpower +30.]

This time, the reward was so much!

Wang Ping'an was stunned.

This desire was Zhu Xiaohan's wish to arrive at Greenfield Village as soon as possible.

He thought the reward would be around 10 points, which was already a lot.

He didn't expect such a high reward.

Suddenly, he understood.

After all, they had walked for a whole day, and the journey was very tough.

Over time, this desire had been magnified, and thus, the willpower had increased.

"I'll go lay out the bed."

Zhu Xiaohan walked to the bed, which was actually a kang.

It was quite large.

But thinking about having to lie next to Wang Ping'an for the next few days, Zhu Xiaohan's face turned red.

To be honest, Wang Ping'an was also a bit awkward, but there was no choice. The place was humid during the day and cool at night.

If he slept on the floor, it would be very cold.

"Sister-in-law, rest early."

"Okay."

The two only had one thin blanket.

To avoid making his sister-in-law too awkward, Wang Ping'an slept at the other end.

The house was so dilapidated that moonlight shone through. Through the moonlight, Wang Ping'an saw the delicate figure under the blanket.

He didn't dare to look for long, as just imagining it made him feel how comfortable it would be to touch such a body.

Suddenly, he noticed that his sister-in-law had a new desire.

[Zhu Xiaohan's Desire 1: My feet are so cold, I hope they can warm up.]

"Sister-in-law, your feet are so cold. My hands are quite warm, let me warm them up for you."

Without waiting for Zhu Xiaohan to respond, Wang Ping'an's large hands grabbed her small feet.

What soft and delicate feet.

Wang Ping'an thought to himself. He knew this was a bit awkward, but to earn some willpower, he had no choice.

"Thank you..."

At this moment, Zhu Xiaohan was also very nervous. She could feel Wang Ping'an's heavy breathing.

To be honest, she was a well-known beauty in the area. Now, lying on the same kang with Wang Ping'an, she knew how tempting it was for him.

Thinking about this, she sighed. After all, she was his sister-in-law and couldn't act rashly.

As she thought, she considered the future.

Now that Ping'an had skills and was very good at martial arts, he would eventually reach the age to marry.

When he got married, what would she, as his sister-in-law, do?

She was a weak woman, with no one to rely on.

"Maybe I could..."

She remembered a rumor from the village in the past.

When the older brother died, the younger brother would marry the sister-in-law.

This was called "keeping the wealth within the family."

This was quite common.

Thinking about this, her face turned red.

'But should I take the initiative? No, no...'

Gradually, her feet warmed up, and she fell asleep.

[Desire completed, willpower +5.]

"Now I have 55 points of willpower."

Wang Ping'an was very happy and decided to try to improve his bone quality the next day.

He fell asleep.

Unconsciously, it was morning, and Wang Ping'an's heart stirred.

He realized that at some point, he had fallen asleep hugging Zhu Xiaohan's leg.

The key was that it was early morning, and his yang energy was at its peak, making him very uncomfortable and a bit overheated.

"Um..."

At this moment, Zhu Xiaohan also woke up, feeling her leg being held, her heart beating fast.

She couldn't do anything and pretended to be asleep.

But soon, she noticed something was wrong.

What was that stick in Wang Ping'an's pants?

Wait, that's not a stick...

Zhu Xiaohan's face turned even redder.

Fortunately, Wang Ping'an got up at this moment.

"Ping'an!" Zhu Xiaohan also pretended to have just woken up.

"Sister-in-law, rest a bit. I'll tidy up."

Saying this, Wang Ping'an quickly ran out.

There was no choice; it was too embarrassing in the early morning.

"Ping'an's endowment is really big."

Zhu Xiaohan was a bit surprised. Then, thinking about how Wang Ping'an had just run out, she found it amusing.

In the early morning, the two of them ate some dry rations.

While eating, they discussed repairing the house.

During the conversation, he noticed that Zhu Xiaohan had new desires.

[Desire 1: Want to live in a big house.]

[Desire 2: Want to repair the house.]

[Desire 3: Want to drink fish soup...]

Soon, the villagers came over.

This small village had only about forty households, and some of the villagers were very friendly, coming to help repair the house.

A few bachelors had wandering eyes, always looking at Zhu Xiaohan.

But Wang Ping'an was tall and strong, so these bachelors didn't dare to do anything.

Wang Ping'an contacted four craftsmen to help repair the house.

Building a new house was not possible. Currently, there was only one room, and the rainy season was approaching. For safety, the priority was to reinforce the house to prevent it from being blown down by strong winds and heavy rain.

Wang Ping'an first borrowed a cart from the village chief's house, went to the nearby town to buy a bag of grain, two cotton quilts, some change of clothes, and pots and pans.

He also bought some vegetables. After all, they had to treat the workers to a meal at noon.

He originally wanted to buy a fish for his sister-in-law, but the town didn't have any fish for sale that day, so he had to give up.

They worked until evening.

The house had been reinforced on all sides, and the inside was cleaned up.

The kang was covered with new quilts.

However, there were no tables or chairs, so they ate directly on the kang in the evening.

After the meal, Zhu Xiaohan went to wash the dishes, and Wang Ping'an went to the backyard.

Under the moonlight, Wang Ping'an found a clear spot, sat cross-legged, and focused his mind on the willpower jade in his mind.

The willpower jade displayed information.

[Wang Ping'an.]

[Cultivation: Late 8th Rank.]

[Bone Quality: Inferior Bone Quality.]

[Martial Technique: Flying Stream Blade Technique (Master Level) (Triggered Trait: Blade Qi).]

[Willpower: 55 points.]

"Now that my Flying Stream Blade Technique has reached Master Level, I can only improve my bone quality!"

Wang Ping'an thought to himself.

He had a feeling.

Willpower could be used to improve bone quality.

As soon as this thought arose, a warm current flowed from the willpower jade in his mind.

As the warm current circulated throughout his body, the willpower decreased by 1 point, leaving 54 points.

At the same time, information appeared next to the Inferior Bone Quality.

[Bone Quality: Inferior Bone Quality: 6/10.]

Wang Ping'an smiled.

Indeed, bone quality could be improved!

"Continue!"

As 4 points of willpower were added.

The bone quality was upgraded.

[Bone Quality: Low-grade Bone Quality: 0/50.]

With the improvement of bone quality, he felt his strength had increased significantly.

The internal energy in his body also slightly increased, and although his cultivation level didn't change, his future cultivation speed would definitely be faster.

He remembered that a warrior's bone quality was divided into: Inferior Bone Quality, Low-grade, Medium-grade, High-grade, Earth Bone Quality, and Heaven Bone Quality.

In other words, as long as there was willpower, bone quality could be improved to Heaven Bone Quality.

And reaching Heaven Bone Quality, the cultivation speed would be hundreds of times faster!!

"Okay, I still have 50 points of willpower, continue!"

The next moment.

[Bone Quality: Medium-grade Bone Quality: 0/500.]

Boom!

The muscles in his body instantly contracted, and his bones made creaking sounds.

Pain! Intense pain!

The feeling of his body being transformed made Wang Ping'an grit his teeth, but he couldn't make a sound.

When the pain reached its peak, he would lose his voice.

At this moment, Wang Ping'an was in such a state.

After a while, the pain gradually subsided, and Wang Ping'an found himself drenched in sweat.

He sat up, looked at his hands, and was stunned.

If he remembered correctly, his hands seemed to have grown about one centimeter larger!

Not only that, his shoes had also become smaller. He stood up, and he was clearly taller.

He was previously just over 1.7 meters, but now he was about 1.8 meters tall.

"The changes brought by bone quality are really significant."

"Ping'an, I've finished cleaning up. Rest early, the craftsmen will come early tomorrow to work."

Zhu Xiaohan called out.

"Okay, Sister-in-law."

Wang Ping'an entered the house and was stunned.

His sister-in-law had just taken a bath, her hair still wet, and a few playful droplets at the collar caught his attention.

"Ping'an, what are you looking at?"

Zhu Xiaohan asked, her face red.

"Nothing..."

Wang Ping'an quickly lowered his head.

Zhu Xiaohan brought a wooden basin. "Ping'an, wash up. You're all sweaty."

Saying this, she started to undress Wang Ping'an.

"Sister-in-law, I can do it myself. I'll go outside to wash."

"You can't reach your back. I'll wash it for you, and then you can go outside."

"Thank you, Sister-in-law."

After some thought, Wang Ping'an didn't refuse.

After washing his back, Wang Ping'an went outside to rinse off.

When he returned to the house, he found that Zhu Xiaohan was already lying on the kang.

Since they had bought two quilts, Zhu Xiaohan covered herself with one, and he covered himself with the other.

After blowing out the candle, looking at the faint outline of his sister-in-law's delicate figure, to be honest, he couldn't help but have some thoughts.

How nice it would be to sleep with her jade feet again.

"Beast, this is your sister-in-law!"

Wang Ping'an couldn't help but scold himself.

How could he be like this?

But suddenly, he noticed that his sister-in-law had the same desire.

"This..." Wang Ping'an was speechless.
