Chapter 31

In the warm and pleasant climate of the War Valley, where the seasons are like spring all year round and winter is never seen, Xiao Zhan had grown to love this place after just a few days. Not only was the scenery beautiful and the views delightful, but beautiful women were also everywhere, each one charming and captivating, making one's imagination run wild.

Thinking about the way the women of the War Clan fell in love at first sight, transcending the mundane and age, Xiao Zhan felt a warm glow in his heart. After several days of subtle probing, he finally figured out the true relationship between his mother and Aunt Yan. Although they were somewhat related, they were definitely not sisters. This revelation made Xiao Zhan eager and extremely excited.

As for his elder brother, after learning about the way the women of the War Clan fell in love, he had been wandering around the War Valley for days, hoping for a chance to fall in love at first sight. Unfortunately, he hadn't encountered such a fortunate event even once.

With nothing else to do, Xiao Zhan left his residence and went to a picturesque garden to practice his boxing techniques.

It was daytime, and only one form of the "Star Gathering Fist" was suitable for practice at this time. This form was called the "Blazing Star Fist," which absorbed sunlight to refine the body and open the acupoints.

Practicing the "Blazing Star Fist" repeatedly, Xiao Zhan discovered a problem he had previously overlooked. Each of the thirty-six forms of the boxing technique had fifty acupoints, and each acupoint corresponded to a star in the sky. Now, in broad daylight, where were the stars except for the sun overhead?

Could the acupoints he was opening now correspond to the sun overhead?

Furrowing his brow, Xiao Zhan activated the True Eye to look inward while continuing to practice the "Blazing Star Fist," trying to make his acupoints sense the stars in the sky. As his fist speed increased, the true fire from the sun poured into his body faster and faster. Gradually, Xiao Zhan felt a faint but definite resonance in his heart.

This resonance did not come from the sun overhead but from the distant stars. Through the True Eye's close observation, Xiao Zhan discovered that while the boxing technique absorbed the true fire of the sun, his body also absorbed it autonomously. After entering his body, only a small part of the true fire was absorbed by his body and the already opened acupoint, while the majority gathered in a certain part of his body.

With his rich experience in opening acupoints, Xiao Zhan naturally understood that this was to nourish the acupoints and refine the flesh.

Practicing the same form of the boxing technique repeatedly, he continuously gained new insights. Unconsciously, his mind became clear, and he was completely immersed in the practice, forgetting everything around him.

After an unknown amount of time, a light footstep sounded in Xiao Zhan's ears, pulling him out of his meditative state. He retracted his fists, took a deep breath, and turned his head curiously.

He immediately saw Zhan Yanyan in a purple dress and Zhan Wan'er in a white dress walking together, chatting and laughing. Xiao Jian and two little girls followed closely behind. Seeing Xiao Zhan, they all smiled.

Their laughter was so enchanting that it made the flowers around them pale in comparison.

In the pavilion of the garden, Xiao Zhan ate the pastries made by Zhan Yanyan while curiously observing the twin girls beside her. He sighed in admiration; they looked so alike, like a pair of porcelain dolls. Seeing Xiao Zhan's gaze, the two little girls smiled sweetly at him, their appearance so adorable that he wanted to pinch their chubby cheeks to show his affection.

Zhan Yanyan's lips curled into a smile, and she said, "Do you like them?"

"Huh?"

Xiao Zhan turned his head in surprise.

Zhan Yanyan smiled and pointed to the girls beside her, "The one on the left is the older sister, Xue Wu, and the one on the right is the younger sister, Xue Tong. From now on, they will be Zhan'er's personal maids."

The two cute little girls immediately bowed politely and said sweetly, "Young Master, hello!"

Personal maids!

Looking at the twin girls, Xiao Zhan was momentarily distracted. Suddenly, a scene flashed into his mind: his elder brother's hand reaching into the chest of his personal maid, Cui'er, with a lecherous smile on his face, praising her as he touched her.

Xiao Zhan broke out in a cold sweat. Heaven! They were still children; how could he think of such a scene? He should wait until they grew up before thinking about it. To have such thoughts now was too beastly!

Zhan Yanyan's beautiful eyes looked at Xiao Zhan meaningfully, "From now on, these two sisters will belong to Zhan'er. I will arrange for them to undergo special training to learn how to serve men."

Feeling her gaze, Xiao Zhan's heart skipped a beat, thinking that his thoughts had been seen through. He quickly changed the subject, "What kind of special training?"

Zhan Yanyan smiled seductively, "Hehe, you'll understand when you grow up."

Serving men, something to understand when he grew up, the content seemed to be clear!

Heaven! It couldn't be the kind of training he was thinking of! They were still so young; this was a destruction of the future flowers of the country! Looking at the two little girls, Xiao Zhan's mind wandered.

The flowers in the garden bloomed in competition, their fragrance spreading, attracting countless butterflies to dance. Zhan Yanyan smiled and looked at the daydreaming Xiao Zhan. She suddenly said, "This time, after discussing with Sister Wan'er, we decided to arrange two wet nurses for Zhan'er to take care of his daily life."

"Spit!"

Xiao Zhan spat out the pastry he had just put in his mouth.

Heaven! Wet nurses. Two of them! Was this a joke?

Seeing Xiao Jian grinning, Xiao Zhan blushed and said, "That's not necessary, I know how to take care of myself."

Zhan Yanyan shook her head, "They are all carefully selected, beautiful and charming, more than capable of being Zhan'er's wet nurses. They are already at Zhan'er's residence, settling in. Of course, if Zhan'er thinks two are too few, I can select a few more to ensure your satisfaction."

Heaven! He actually had wet nurses now.

Xiao Zhan was speechless. He was a grown man, having lived three lives, what did he need wet nurses for? Seeing that the beautiful woman calling herself "sister" was not backing down, Xiao Zhan turned to his mother, "Mother, I'm already an adult, I can take care of myself. There's no need for wet nurses, right?"

Zhan Yanyan laughed and tapped his forehead, "You're still a little brat. Has your mother never told you about some common knowledge of our War Clan?"

Xiao Zhan was surprised, "What common knowledge?"

Zhan Yanyan smiled, "In our War Clan, women who have given birth will not lose their milk. What happens to the milk after the child grows up? Naturally, it is given to their men. The milk of our War Clan women is a spiritual medicine for our clan, not only purifying the body but also increasing power."

Zhan Wan'er added, "Having two wet nurses to take care of Zhan'er, I can leave with peace of mind. This matter is settled."

Faced with their insistence, Xiao Zhan could only open his mouth and say nothing. He couldn't help but sigh, the women of the War Clan were truly great, nurturing generation after generation of talented clan members. However, seeing his elder brother secretly gloating, Xiao Zhan gritted his teeth, glaring at him, wishing to beat him up to vent his anger.

Xiao Jian, a man with a thick skin, remained smug, "Little brother, I've always been curious about the boxing technique you practice. Not only can it absorb the power of the stars, but it can also absorb the true fire of the sun. It's truly amazing."

Xiao Zhan snorted, "Little brother practices every day, and you're always there. Haven't you figured it out?"

Xiao Jian frowned, "Your boxing technique is simple, just thirty-six forms. Besides the features you mentioned, its power is just average, nothing special."

Zhan Wan'er suddenly asked, "Zhan'er, what is the name of the boxing technique you just practiced? Did your master teach it to you?"

Xiao Jian was incredulous, "Mother, when did Little Brother have a master?"

Zhan Wan'er smiled, "After staying in Dasha for half a year, Little Brother had a great encounter. This boxing technique was taught by his master."

Xiao Jian stared at Xiao Zhan with wide eyes, "Little Brother, you're impressive. You even found a master without telling your big brother."

Xiao Zhan laughed, "I've been practicing this boxing technique for so long, and you never asked. You can't blame me for keeping it a secret."

Zhan Yanyan mused, "This boxing technique is very profound. When I watched Zhan'er practice, it seemed like his whole body was enveloped in a unique field, attracting the true fire of the sun to refine his body. If he continues to practice, his achievements will be immeasurable. The person who taught Zhan'er this technique must be very extraordinary. I wonder who he or she is."

Zhan Wan'er smiled, "This boxing technique can refine the body with star power, improving one's constitution, which is very useful for Zhan'er. It doesn't matter who taught it."

Xiao Jian quickly said, "How can it not matter? What if that person has ill intentions? Little Brother, who taught you?"

Xiao Zhan smiled, "A middle-aged man taught me."

Xiao Jian was curious, "What middle-aged man? Do I know him?"

Xiao Zhan laughed, "Big Brother, you definitely know him. He is the First Sword of the World, Ren Yao."

Xiao Jian's eyes widened in disbelief, "Your master is the First Sword of the World, Ren Yao? How is that possible? If I'm not mistaken, at that time, Little Brother couldn't even practice martial arts. How did he see that you were a martial arts prodigy?"

Zhan Wan'er's face changed, "When did this happen? Why didn't Mother know?"

Xiao Zhan said proudly, "Heaven knows, maybe it's because I'm handsome."

Xiao Jian was envious and resentful, sighing, "If I had known Little Brother had such an opportunity, I would have volunteered to take care of you. Missing such an opportunity is truly regrettable."

After sighing for a while, Xiao Jian suddenly became excited, "Little Brother, I heard that your master once went alone to challenge the Zhengyi Sect. Is that true?"

Xiao Zhan said proudly, "Of course, it was Little Brother who suggested that Master go challenge the Zhengyi Sect."

"It was your idea!?"

Everyone in the pavilion looked at Xiao Zhan in disbelief. Seeing his proud expression, Zhan Yanyan frowned, "Zhan'er, your master is renowned, even the most vicious people would retreat. But in the future, don't tell others that your master is Ren Yao, or it will bring endless trouble."

Xiao Zhan was shocked, "Ah, is my master a bad person?"

Zhan Yanyan laughed, "Your master considers himself a righteous person, even the wicked would avoid him. His slogan is to enforce justice and eliminate evil. For this, he has attacked many evil sects, looting them. He also likes to challenge others to improve his martial arts, so he went alone to challenge the first righteous sect, defeating all the experts and taking their secret manuals, saying he would copy them and return them, but no one knows if he did."

Is this my master?

It sounds like a bandit.

Tsk tsk tsk! He has robbed so many sects and hasn't been killed, truly worthy of being the First Sword of the World. Remember, Master gave me a ring last time, saying it contained his collection. It can't be...

Swallowing hard, Xiao Zhan tightened his left hand. He needed to find a way to open this ring.

Xiao Jian exclaimed, "Too arrogant! Robbing so many sects, hasn't anyone dealt with him?"

Zhan Yanyan sneered, "Of course, the first righteous sect that was looted by Ren Yao recently joined forces with other robbed sects to try to kill him."

"What was the result?"

Zhan Yanyan sighed, "He had the mood to take a disciple, what do you think? Then she turned to Xiao Zhan, "Zhan'er, never tell others that you are his disciple, or it will bring a lot of trouble. By the way, where is your master now?"

Xiao Zhan shook his head, he also wanted to know. He had left in the middle of teaching, without even a proper explanation. Maybe he was being chased by his enemies and had hidden somewhere.

Xiao Zhan asked, "Aunt Yan, who is stronger, you or my master?"

Zhan Yanyan said irritably, "Of course, it's your master. His cultivation has reached the peak of the Void Martial realm, even ordinary Profound Martial experts are not his match, and he is recognized as the first Void Martial expert in the world."

Xiao Jian was surprised, "Void Martial, what realm is that?"

Zhan Yanyan explained, "Above Immortal Martial is Void Martial."

"What about Profound Martial?"

"Of course, it's above Void Martial."

Xiao Jian scratched his head, sighing, all of this was too far from him.
