Chapter 16

The next day, at dawn.

After finishing breakfast, Xiao Zhan, feeling cheerful, decided to go see his older brother Xiao Jian. Due to the fight yesterday, his brother had been confined by their mother, Zhan Wan'er. Xiao Zhan lived in the East Courtyard, while his brother's residence was in the West Courtyard, near the training ground.

However, this time his brother needed to face the wall and was confined in the back courtyard.

As soon as Xiao Zhan stepped into the back courtyard, his powerful divine sense instantly covered the entire area.

"Huh? There are actually two people."

Who would come to see his brother at this time?

Xiao Zhan's curiosity was immediately piqued. To avoid alarming them, he cautiously approached the room where his brother was facing the wall. As he got closer, his brother's slightly relaxed voice drifted out.

"My dear Cui'er, I didn't expect you to have grown so much in just a short time. My hand can't even fully grasp you now! If I remember correctly, last time I could easily fill my hand. Although you are still growing, why is it that only this part has grown so remarkably?"

Hearing his brother's words, Xiao Zhan's eyes immediately lit up. What a life his brother was leading, even while facing the wall. Before he could act, a soft, breathy female voice drifted out.

"Oh... Young Master, be gentler! It's too rough, Cui'er can't take it. Last time... Young Master said Cui'er wasn't big enough, so I asked Lady for a special breast-enhancing charm. After several months of practice, the results were significant, and even Xiaodie and the others are very envious."

Xiao Jian exclaimed, "Really? This charm can actually enhance breasts?"

The woman named Cui'er continued, "Not just that. Lady said that once the charm is practiced to the skin level, it can beautify. It not only makes our skin whiter and smoother but also makes our buttocks more firm. If the charm is practiced to the bone level, it can even change one's appearance."

Xiao Jian exclaimed again, "So exaggerated, it can even change one's appearance!"

"That's what Lady said. Once the charm is practiced to the bone level, it can modify one's features to some extent and make a woman's waist slimmer and legs longer. Of course, if the charm is practiced to the highest level, even an ugly woman can become the most beautiful woman in the world."

This charm is so powerful!

Xiao Zhan outside the room was immediately stunned. This was far more advanced than the beauty and plastic surgery techniques of his previous life. If the so-called beauty and plastic surgery experts heard about this, they would be ashamed to the point of suicide. In an instant, Xiao Zhan was filled with curiosity about this powerful charm and was eager to see its miraculous effects.

To avoid alarming them, Xiao Zhan silently recited a spell and then lightly landed by the door. The door was not locked, and Xiao Zhan gently pushed it, revealing a small gap.

Before he could peek, he heard Xiao Jian suddenly moan, "Oh! Cui'er, your hands are so smooth and tender, it feels so good! By the way, since this charm is so powerful, I wonder if it can make men more manly?"

Hearing this, Xiao Zhan couldn't wait to peek, and his eyes immediately lit up.

Xiao Jian was sitting on a chair, holding Cui'er, with one hand already inside her clothes. Cui'er, seemingly unwilling to be bullied, also boldly reached into Xiao Jian's pants. At that moment, a pink belly band lay shyly at their feet, as if secretly watching this intimate scene.

Cui'er, blushing, said, "The charm doesn't distinguish between men and women, so it can also make men more manly."

Hearing this, Xiao Jian's face lit up with excitement. Just as he was about to say something, his gaze inadvertently caught a pair of curious, bright eyes peeking through the door crack. His eyes widened, and he exclaimed, "Second Brother! What are you doing?"

Caught, Xiao Zhan awkwardly pushed the door open and entered, looking at the still entangled pair. He chuckled, "Big Brother, I was just passing by and thought I'd come see you."

Cui'er's face turned bright red, and she quickly broke free from Xiao Jian's embrace. As she hurriedly adjusted her clothes, she shyly greeted, "This servant greets Second Young Master."

"No need for formalities. Who knows, maybe I'll call you Big Sister-in-law one day."

Xiao Zhan chuckled and then formally observed his brother's personal maid. She was about the same age as his brother, around fourteen, still somewhat innocent but exceptionally charming. No wonder she was so favored by his brother. Naturally, Xiao Zhan's gaze fell on her chest, eager to see the effect of the charm that made it impossible for his brother to fully grasp her.

Just one glance, and Xiao Zhan's eyes widened. He thought to himself, "So full!"

Heaven! It's unbelievable!

This Cui'er is only fourteen years old, yet she has developed so well!

Looking at Cui'er's plump chest, Xiao Zhan envied his brother's good fortune.

Xiao Jian, who had just finished adjusting his clothes, saw Xiao Zhan staring at Cui'er's chest. His handsome face turned slightly red. He and Cui'er's intimate moment had been seen by his younger brother. He must have been too engrossed to notice his brother at the door.

Coughing lightly, Xiao Jian said awkwardly, "Cui'er, I'm facing the wall now. It's inappropriate for you to be here. If you have nothing to do, go about your business."

Cui'er nodded shyly and was about to leave when she noticed the belly band on the floor. She gasped and quickly picked it up, then rushed out with her face covered.

The room was left with the two slightly awkward brothers.

After a while, Xiao Jian grabbed a chicken leg from the food box and said while eating, "Second Brother, what brings you here so early in the morning?"

Looking at his brother, who still had bruises and was smiling, Xiao Zhan laughed, "Of course, I came to see you. Big Brother suffered for me, and as a younger brother, I feel guilty. I wanted to show my appreciation, but I didn't expect..."

Xiao Jian said irritably, "Then why did you come empty-handed? No sincerity at all."

Xiao Zhan, thick-skinned, grabbed a chicken leg and took a bite before saying, "Big Brother, you beat those guys up yesterday. Won't they seek revenge?"

"Revenge me? Humph! They are probably struggling to save themselves."

Seeing Xiao Jian's smug look, Xiao Zhan asked curiously, "Why are they struggling to save themselves?"

Xiao Jian, acting mysterious, said, "This is a long story. Back then..."

At this point, Xiao Jian opened the door and cautiously looked around. Confirming no one was there, he carefully closed the door and returned to his seat, looking smug. "Let me tell you, don't think Mother is always gentle and kind. In fact, she is quite fierce. Do you know how Mother married Father? You don't, right? Ha ha ha! Big Brother knows."

Gossip! From Xiao Jian's smug look, Xiao Zhan knew there must be a huge secret. He heard Xiao Jian reveal, "When Father wanted to marry Mother, almost all the elders of the Xiao family strongly opposed it, thinking Mother was only fit to be a concubine. At that time, Grandfather had arranged a marriage for Father, and the girl had a significant background."

Xiao Jian was now fully engrossed in the story. Thinking of the exciting parts, he laughed loudly, making Xiao Zhan anxious.

"Second Brother, you can't imagine how fierce Mother was back then."

Fierce? Xiao Zhan couldn't help but recall his mother Zhan Wan'er's gentle smile. He found it hard to imagine what she did to deserve the word "fierce."

"Ha ha ha! Mother single-handedly stormed into the Xiao family's inner courtyard and beat up all the opponents."

This... This was indeed not ordinary. Xiao Zhan was completely stunned.

Suddenly, the door was slowly pushed open, and a familiar figure stepped in.

Mother! Recognizing the person, Xiao Zhan almost exclaimed. He quickly signaled to the excited Xiao Jian to stop talking, but the guy only got more excited.

"Second Brother, Mother looked at the people lying on the ground and said disdainfully, 'Concubine? Humph! Let me tell you, I am determined to marry the Xiao family. Oppose? Humph! I'll run away with him!' Tsk tsk tsk! Listen to how fierce Mother was. Those guys who dared to insult you yesterday, humph! They are in for Mother's wrath."

Seeing the boy's increasingly exaggerated words and his constant defamation of her image in front of her son, Zhan Wan'er could no longer bear it. She glared at him angrily and said, "I think you are the one who will face the wrath!"

Xiao Jian turned his head with difficulty and said with a sad face, "Ah! Mother, how... how did you come here?"

At the same time, he lamented in his heart: How do they walk without making any sound?
