Little Fairy Doctor barely suppressed her laughter and coughed lightly twice, but she couldn't stop the upward curve of her lips. "It seems heaven is very special to you, haha!"
Xiao Jietian looked at the group of laughing women without the slightest embarrassment. Instead, he gazed at them smugly. "Of course. Special treatment is quite special."
"I can't… I can't… I'm going to die laughing." Hu Jia laughed so hard she couldn't straighten her back and collapsed onto the table.
"You're too weak, aren't you? I haven't even exerted myself yet, and you're already done for. What can you do besides getting my clothes covered in your drool?" Xiao Jietian said with a hint of sarcasm as he looked at Hu Jia.
"Ah~! Xiao Jietian, you scoundrel! I'm going to fight you!" Hu Jia's pretty face flushed crimson as she pounced on him like a mad dog, baring her fangs and brandishing her claws.
Xiao Jietian, still holding a beauty in his arms, had his damage doubled. With one hand, he easily subdued her.
"I'm going to report you to the Eternal Heaven Palace!!" Hu Jia couldn't break free from his grip and could only rage helplessly.
The others watched the two bickering and didn't feel annoyed at all. Instead, they felt a warm sense of comfort.
For a moment, the entire pavilion was filled with laughter and joy. Perhaps this was the true meaning of happiness…
"My dear ladies, it's getting late. Let's go back and have a seafood scallop feast." After glancing at the darkening sky, Xiao Jietian called out to them.
With a wave of his hand, he disappeared from the pavilion along with Little Fairy Doctor, Xuan Yi, and the others.
It was Xuan Yi's first time participating in a group activity, so she was very nervous. However, deep in her eyes there was also a hint of anticipation—clearly the result of Xiao Jietian's long-term "brainwashing."
After Xiao Jietian and the rest left, only Han Xue and Hu Jia remained, standing in the wind and looking at each other with blank expressions.
"No… we haven't gotten in the car yet!!! You forgot us! You forgot us! I can give it for free… oh no, I can buy a ticket!"
The two miserable figures embraced each other with sad faces. It was as if snowflakes were fluttering and the north wind was whistling around them.
...
Seven days later, Xiao Jietian sat cross-legged in the secret chamber.
Vast energy continuously poured into his body, constantly strengthening his aura.
"Crack!"
A faint sound of breaking echoed within Xiao Jietian's body. His aura reached its peak, and the space around him gradually began to distort.
His body shook as a powerful energy shockwave radiated outward.
He slowly stood up, clenched his fists, and felt the surging power within him.
"Hmm, I'm a Six-Revolutions Dou Zun now. Rounding it up, I'm pretty much a Half-Saint."
After tidying up a bit, Xiao Jietian walked out of the cultivation room in the sleeping quarters and headed to the bath. He leaned comfortably against the edge of the tub and soaked in the warm water.
After some time, a pair of soft hands suddenly reached onto his shoulders and began gently massaging him.
Xiao Jietian slightly opened his eyes and heard a slightly shy voice from behind. "Brother-in-law, don't turn around. It's your sister-in-law."
"???" Familiar scenes instantly flashed through Xiao Jietian's mind.
But he chose not to turn around and quietly enjoyed the unusual massage technique of the newcomer.
Once the massage was almost finished, Xiao Jietian reached out and pulled the person in front of him.
The one massaging him was Han Xue. At this moment, she was wearing a moon-white gauze dress that had become completely wet and clung tightly to her fair, rosy skin.
"Why are you wearing your sister's clothes!"
"I secretly took them from my sister," Han Xue's eyes darted away, her face flushed with shyness. "I… I think I've matured enough to learn advanced skills, so I came over."
"Indeed, I already felt it just now."
Xiao Jietian looked at Han Xue in front of him. His free hand pinched her chin, forcing her to meet his gaze.
Han Xue instinctively wanted to look away shyly, but her desire to gain knowledge overcame her embarrassment, and she met his eyes directly.
"Since that's the case, I'll teach you something new. It might be a bit tough at first."
"It's okay. My sister already told me about it. I'm mentally prepared," Han Xue said with firm eyes. At this moment, no one could stop her determination.
"Good!" Xiao Jietian's thoughts moved, and he instantly took Han Xue to the room.
He took Han Xue's hand and placed it on a weapon resting on the nearby weapon rack.
"Next, I will teach you the unique secret art of my Xiao Family—one that is not passed on to outsiders," Xiao Jietian said softly as he looked at her.
Han Xue gripped the weapon in surprise. She felt its powerful aura, as if it could pierce the heavens and earth.
"I am ready. Even if it costs me my life, I will persevere and continue learning."
Xiao Jietian didn't hesitate either. He began teaching Han Xue his secret art that was never passed to outsiders.
As a beginner, Han Xue found wielding such a powerful weapon very strenuous at first. Sometimes she would even be hit by the weapon and let out cries of pain. Occasionally, when struck hard, her soul would become slightly disoriented.
As Xiao Jietian continued teaching, Han Xue gradually grasped the basics of this Dou Technique. As her proficiency deepened, she also let out cheers of joy, clearly delighted to have learned Xiao Jietian's secret art.
Xiao Jietian gradually increased the intensity of his teaching. He even worried that she hadn't mastered it proficiently enough, so he chose to impart the learning materials to her through direct enlightenment.
After the enlightenment, Han Xue became even more proficient in the Dou Technique…
Under Xiao Jietian's highest-intensity training, Han Xue's Dou Qi gradually depleted. She could no longer convert it into stamina to replenish herself.
"Sister, quickly come save me!!!" Han Xue took out a message stone from her storage ring and sent a urgent message.
Xiao Jietian had no intention of stopping her. By then, Han Yue would also be able to replenish her stamina and guide her in cultivating the Dou Technique.
Han Yue instantly appeared where Han Xue was practicing. Seeing her younger sister panting heavily from the intense training, Han Yue felt genuinely happy for her.
Learning this skill meant that Han Xue had successfully become a formal member of Eternal Heaven Palace, no longer just a reserve.
Xiao Jietian lightly moved his palm and carefully stored away the collectibles Han Xue had contributed to him.
Without a word, Han Yue directly transmitted a surge of Dou Qi to Han Xue to replenish her stamina. Afterward, she also picked up a weapon and personally guided her sister, move by move, on how to cultivate.
Xiao Jietian watched the two sisters diligently cultivating and helping each other, feeling pleased and satisfied with their bond.
Indeed, as the saying goes, "When sisters are of one heart, they can cut through metal." Xiao Jietian truly felt the truth of those words.
Under the guidance of her sister and senior Han Yue, Han Xue gained even greater mastery of Xiao Jietian's secret art, becoming more and more adept at it.
Furthermore, due to her personality and her previous experience managing the Han Family's merchant caravans, Han Xue's courage and perseverance were much greater than Han Yue's. She was gradually showing signs of surpassing her teacher.
