Start cultivating immortality in Xiaoao world, bumped into the master's wife at the start! - Chapter 13

Chapter 13: Encountering Yue Lingshan

“Whew! That was terrifying!”

After exiting the main hall, Linghu Chong let out a long sigh of relief. He was utterly shaken and on edge.

There was no way he could let Yue Buqun inspect his injuries.

Wouldn’t that completely give them away?

All of their injuries had been healed by the mysterious power of that peerless technique.

If Yue Buqun discovered that the two of them had no injuries at all, he would definitely become suspicious.

Thankfully, they ran fast.

“Better change my clothes first, then go see Master’s Wife.”

Linghu Chong looked at his tattered clothing. In this state, he really did look a bit indecent. If not for his handsome and elegant appearance, he would’ve looked no different from a beggar.

Master’s Wife really… did she have to be so rough?

Back at his residence, Linghu Chong hurriedly found a clean set of clothes and changed into them. He then carefully hid away the worn ones—these weren’t to be discarded casually. They were a special edition worth commemorating.

After everything was done, Linghu Chong headed out.

He sprinted toward Master’s Wife’s quarters at full speed.

Soon, he arrived at the small courtyard where Master’s Wife Ning Zhongze and Yue Buqun usually lived.

Linghu Chong glanced around. Seeing no one following him, he cautiously entered the secluded courtyard.

Walking along the wooden corridor, Linghu Chong began to feel a bit nervous inside.

Tiptoeing toward Master’s Wife’s private room, he didn’t dare make a single sound.

Although the distance wasn’t far, the short journey felt like an eternity—and a difficult one at that.

Finally, after much hardship, he arrived at Master’s Wife’s door.

With a tense heart, Linghu Chong raised his hand and gently knocked twice on the door. “Knock knock.”

Then softly called out, “Master’s Wife!”

The air became still. No sound came from the room.

Linghu Chong furrowed his brows slightly. He figured his voice had probably been too soft—Master’s Wife hadn’t heard him.

This time, he knocked a bit louder—two knocks again—and called out once more, “Master’s Wife!”

He waited for a while. Still, silence inside the room.

“That’s odd, is she out?”

Linghu Chong muttered, circling to the other side of the room. He peeked through the half-open paper window, but didn’t see anyone inside.

“No one… where could she have gone?”

Linghu Chong frowned, turning back around, deep in thought as he walked.

Just then, a graceful figure approached him head-on.

“Ah!!!”

A lovely and melodic shriek rang out, tinged with a note of pain.

Linghu Chong had bumped straight into a soft, fragrant embrace.

“Senior Brother, what are you doing? Walking without looking where you’re going—you bumped into me!”

The one who had come was his junior martial sister, Yue Lingshan. She clutched her now-developed chest in pain and looked at Linghu Chong with a mix of grievance and affection.

“Ah! It’s you, Junior Sister!”

Linghu Chong was also startled. He looked up in surprise and found it was his original body’s junior sister, Yue Lingshan. He was surprised—he’d been so lost in thought he hadn’t even noticed her approach. Quite careless.

However, when Yue Lingshan got a good look at Linghu Chong’s face, she was completely stunned.

“Junior Sister, are you alright? Did I bump into you too hard? Let me check.”

Linghu Chong looked at Yue Lingshan rubbing her chest and spoke apologetically, his tone full of concern.

Then he reached out and gently supported her arm, checking whether she was hurt.

At that moment, the fresh, youthful scent of a young woman hit him full on, and even Linghu Chong’s usually calm heart was stirred.

The now-grown Yue Lingshan had perfectly inherited the best features of her mother, Ning Zhongze.

Though still in the bloom of youth, her figure already possessed about half of her mother’s allure.

Her posture was graceful and elegant, her curves well-defined. Her slender waist could be grasped in one hand.

Below the waist, her body widened suddenly—a clear sign of childbearing potential.

Her modest robe bulged slightly at the chest—visually, she was likely a C+ cup.

Her strength wasn’t bad, but compared to the enchantingly mature Master’s Wife, she still fell short.

However, Yue Lingshan carried an energetic, youthful vibrancy—a lively purity that her mother didn’t have.

Each had their own charm.

She was adorably sweet, like the lovely girl next door. Her gentle face had a youthful flush, her large expressive eyes were bright and full of clever mischief. Her nose was finely shaped, her lips red like cherries.

Her long, black hair was tied up in a neat bun, radiating a pure and fresh aura. Her entire being exuded a kind of innocent loveliness with a touch of playful charm.

Just then, two words suddenly popped into Linghu Chong’s mind—”gàifàn*”.

“Junior Sister, I was in the wrong. Let me apologize. Where did I bump into you?”

Linghu Chong looked at Yue Lingshan’s face with concern.

“So handsome!” Yue Lingshan looked at Linghu Chong with hearts in her eyes.

She was completely captivated. In her gaze, there was only that clean-cut, elegant face—those sword-like eyebrows, deeply set brows, and extraordinary, radiant charm.

“Junior Sister!”

Linghu Chong shook the dazed Yue Lingshan a couple times.

“Se—Senior Brother!” Yue Lingshan finally came to, murmuring with a dreamy look in her eyes.

“Junior Sister, why are you here? Where’s Master’s Wife?”

“Senior Brother, you’ve become so handsome! So charming! Did you eat some immortal fruit while you were away?”

Yue Lingshan didn’t respond to his question at all, just looked at him, love-struck.

“Uh…”

Linghu Chong froze. He knew he looked good now—but it wasn’t because of some immortal fruit.

How could he possibly tell her it was from sleeping with Master’s Wife?

“Yes, I ate a magical fruit in the back mountain. That’s how I ended up like this,” Linghu Chong casually made something up.

“Wow! Really? Mother also looks way more beautiful than before—did she eat one too? Are there more of those fruits? Senior Brother, please take me to eat one too!”

Yue Lingshan’s eyes lit up. She stared at Linghu Chong with excitement and a desperate longing.

“There aren’t any more! Let’s not talk about that for now. Junior Sister, have you seen Master’s Wife? Where is she? Quickly, take me to her!” Linghu Chong said anxiously.

There was no such fruit. Right now, his thoughts were entirely on Ning Zhongze.

“No more?” Yue Lingshan looked utterly disappointed and dejected, so much that she didn’t even register Linghu Chong’s following question.

She looked completely disheartened.

Linghu Chong rubbed his temples, feeling anxious. But in this situation, if he didn’t handle this silly, adorable girl first, there was no way he could get away to find Master’s Wife.

“All right, Shan’er! Even though the fruit is gone, Senior Brother still has a way to make you even more beautiful.”

Linghu Chong gently stroked Yue Lingshan’s hair with a warm smile.

His handsome face and unique charm nearly made Yue Lingshan melt.

“Really? Senior Brother!” Yue Lingshan looked up at Linghu Chong in excitement.

“Of course! On this trip, I learned a secret technique. With its nurturing effects, Shan’er, you’ll become more and more beautiful—eventually the most beautiful woman under heaven.”

“Really? You can really make me more beautiful than Mother?”

“Of course. Has Senior Brother ever lied to you?”

“Hooray! That’s amazing! Then start now, Senior Brother—make Shan’er the prettiest girl in the world!”

Yue Lingshan was overjoyed, urging him impatiently.

“Don’t rush, Junior Sister. This sort of important thing takes time. I’ll tell you more later. For now, tell me—where’s Master’s Wife?”

Linghu Chong chuckled helplessly. This kind of thing couldn’t be rushed—it needed time and love to nurture.

“All right. Mother’s in my room.”

As soon as Yue Lingshan said that, Linghu Chong vanished with a “whoosh.”

Leaving only a stunned Yue Lingshan in his wake.

“Senior Brother, wait for me!”

Yue Lingshan stomped her foot in frustration, then chased after Linghu Chong.
