Chapter 28

At that time, although Hu Donghan wanted to resist, his strength was no match for Hu Meier, who was three years older than him. His little brother even swelled up from the pinching.

Since then, Hu Meier seemed to have found a fun toy. Whenever Hu Donghan made a mistake, Hu Meier would use this trick—of course, Hu Meier knew her limits and only pinched a few times. However, this intense sense of shame still made Hu Donghan feel that his dignity had been trampled. Even to the point where, in order to avoid such bullying, Hu Donghan had the idea of immediately cultivating the "True Explanation of the Ghost Path." However, to better cultivate the technique, he suppressed this thought.

This situation continued until Hu Donghan developed. When Hu Meier tried to "punish" Hu Donghan again, she found that just touching it a couple of times made it swell a lot. Her face turned red, and she finally realized that this game could no longer be played.

After that, Hu Meier never pulled down Hu Donghan's pants again. She only occasionally, when Hu Donghan got angry, made a show of wanting to discipline him.

As for Hu Donghan, this psychological shadow had already formed. Just thinking about Hu Meier's punishment made him feel very uncomfortable.

In Hu Donghan's view, this psychological shadow would only disappear if one day he could defeat Hu Meier by his own strength, and then press her down and give her a good beating on the buttocks! That's why Hu Donghan now resists Hu Meier's help so much. If it were back when they were young and relied on each other, Hu Meier's invitation would have been accepted without a second thought.

Sure enough, when Hu Donghan heard that Hu Meier wanted to "discipline" him, he first instinctively shivered, then said firmly, "Hu Meier, I'm telling you, you can't scare me! Hmph! One day, I will be stronger than you! At that time, I will definitely... um, take revenge!" Hu Donghan originally wanted to say "beat your buttocks," but thinking of the consequences, he changed his words at the last moment.

"Hehehe..." Hu Meier giggled, "Okay, I know, you will definitely be stronger than me in the future! Um... to be stronger than me in the future, why don't you use these things first?"

Hu Meier then reached into her storage ring and took out a soul ring, as well as a large number of medicine bottles.

"In this soul ring, there is a mid-grade ghost. As for these medicines, they are all qi-nourishing and qi-cultivating pills suitable for your current stage of cultivation. To surpass me, you must work hard in your cultivation!" Hu Meier spoke in a tone that was like coaxing a child, and whispered, "Originally, Master gave me a high-grade ghost. I wanted to leave it for you, but Master saw me put the high-grade ghost away, so I can only give you a mid-grade ghost for now... However, don't underestimate this mid-grade ghost! The Yin Soul Sect has nearly a million disciples, but only about ten thousand have mid-grade ghosts. With this mid-grade ghost, your cultivation speed should be able to catch up with ordinary disciples!"

Hu Meier only showed this demeanor in front of Hu Donghan. It was the demeanor of a sister coaxing her brother, a demeanor that no one else would ever see.

Listening to Hu Meier, Hu Donghan felt a wave of emotion. However, soon, he raised his head disdainfully and said, "Hmph! Girl, since I said I will surpass you by my own ability, I will absolutely not accept these things from you! And, I don't need things like ghosts! I can have a ghost that truly suits me!"

Hu Donghan would only say such honest words to Hu Meier. Of course, even so, he had never mentioned to Hu Meier that he possessed the "True Explanation of the Ghost Path." It wasn't that he didn't trust Hu Meier, but he was afraid that she might inadvertently leak it.

"Hey! You little brat is being cocky again! It looks like you already have a ghost that suits you?" Hu Meier teased Hu Donghan again.

Hu Donghan nodded and released his ghost, saying proudly, "Of course! Look, this is my ghost!"

"Oh? This is..." Hu Meier stared at Hu Donghan's ghost for a while, then suddenly her face changed, "You... you actually have an ordinary ghost?! Little brother, you're just fooling around! Your talent is already not good, and now you actually use ghost summoning to get an ordinary ghost. Are you trying to make me angry?! A cultivator with average spiritual roots can only contract one ghost! What are you trying to do?"

When Hu Meier spoke, the previous fairy-like demeanor completely disappeared. She stepped on Hu Donghan's bed with one foot, rolled up her sleeves, revealing her white arms, and glared at Hu Donghan fiercely, like a street thug, ready to fight if he didn't give her an answer.

Hu Donghan was also startled by Hu Meier's appearance—mainly because the childhood trauma was too deep. He quickly waved his hands, "Girl, don't get so excited. When have you ever seen me do something without being sure? Although I only have an ordinary ghost now, I can guarantee that it is the most suitable for me in the world right now! And, it won't always be just an ordinary ghost."

"You..." Hu Meier put her hands on her hips for a while, then realized that her little brother had always been a very steady person, and wouldn't do something so foolish, so she finally calmed down, but still said angrily, "Fine! I won't interfere for now! But if your cultivation hasn't improved when I come to see you next time, don't blame me for getting rid of your ordinary ghost!"

"Fine! When you come next time, I will definitely surprise you." Hu Donghan finally breathed a sigh of relief when Hu Meier calmed down.

However, Hu Meier then said, "Since you don't want the ghost I gave you, you must take these medicines! Otherwise..."

"No! Absolutely not! Since I said I will rely on my own ability, I will not rely on you!" Hu Donghan insisted.

"You little brat! Do you think I won't discipline you?" Hu Meier, who had just recovered her ladylike demeanor, instantly turned into a tigress, baring her teeth at Hu Donghan.

Hu Donghan instinctively shivered again, then closed his eyes and lay on the bed, in a posture of readiness to die, "Do whatever you want! I said I don't want it, I don't want it!" After a pause, Hu Donghan asked, "Do I need to take off my pants myself?"

"Ha..." Hu Meier was amused by Hu Donghan, "You little guy..."

"Fine! If you don't want it, I won't force you this time. But I still say what I said before. If your cultivation hasn't improved when I come to see you next time, don't blame me for being ruthless! At that time, I will personally tie you up and force you to cultivate every day!"

In the end, Hu Meier compromised. This ruthless, bloodthirsty fairy-like figure only showed a bit of tenderness in front of Hu Donghan.
