Chapter 159 - Faint Fragrance (3 more, asking for monthly votes!)

Before long, the temperature inside his body plummeted sharply, becoming cold and icy.At the same time, this coldness spread from the inside out, causing the temperature of his surface to also drop significantly.

After completing this step, his rapidly flowing blood finally began to slow down, gradually returning to its normal flow rate.

Thump.

Thump.

His heart beating, pumping blood, Fang Yu’s blood volume began to slowly self-recover.

Before long, it was back to full.

The organs inside his body that should have been frostbitten and frost-damaged also started to recover quickly after the blood returned to full.

It was a success.

Fang Yu, with his White Spring Sword, made a cut across his palm.

Sss.

The moment the fresh blood flowed out, with a thought,

the blood in mid-air rapidly condensed into ice!

Crash.

The ice cubes hit the ground, shattering into pieces.

Fang Yu scratched his head, unskilled.

But with practice, he was sure to master it.

It meant that even if it was a secret manual of incomplete Martial Arts, he could grasp it directly against the odds, and then proceed with further cultivation.

Excitement bloomed in Fang Yu’s heart; this was a bright and broad path.

Other players certainly had not discovered this, he must quietly make a small fortune.

One day when he had scoured every secret manual in Tianyuan Town, perhaps out of kindness, he would reveal a bit of the truth about the incomplete manuals, and have them come to him to buy the secret manuals.

Of course, all of this would have to wait until all the incomplete manuals were of no value to him.

Of the remaining four peculiar Cultivation Techniques, and both required materials, the former needed a large amount of medicinal materials, while the latter needed a small amount of demon materials.

Yan Baiyu was fine, after all, it was a Cultivation Technique for keeping a fair complexion, whether to practice it was secondary.

But the really needed to be scheduled, though only a small insurance, it was still better to have one more layer of protection for my older sister.

The other two and had no particular material needs, making their cultivation relatively simple.

After some thought, Fang Yu decided to practice first.

He fetched half a bucket of water from the large storage bucket at home back to his room.

Creak.

Suddenly, the door outside opened.

Putting down the bucket, he pushed open the door and looked out.

"Older sister?"

"Diao Deyi? Have you already returned?"

His older sister’s face showed surprise, and in her hands, along with some vegetables and pork, she also carried a large rooster.

Sweat covered the older sister’s forehead, clearly, the journey here had been somewhat strenuous.

Fang Yu quickly went up, took the things from her hands, and placed them in the kitchen.

"Older sister, why such a feast today?"

His older sister smiled: "From now on, we’ll eat better."

Fang Yu was taken aback.

This was completely unlike his usual frugal older sister.

"Older sister, what happened?"

His older sister shook her head and sighed.

"I’m just... very worried about you."

"What do you mean?"

Fang Yu asked again, but his older sister just smiled, saying no more.

She told Fang Yu to go back to his room to rest, and that she would call him once the meal was ready.

"I’ll help you wash the vegetables."

"You’re only going to cause trouble, you don’t know how to wash vegetables and cook. Stop messing about, go back to your room and wait, I’ll call you later."

His older sister insisted, so Fang Yu had no choice but to return to his room.

As Fang Yu’s room door closed, his older sister began to silently wash the vegetables.

The meal she bought today included fish and meat.

Moreover, in the future, if circumstances allowed, she would try her best to buy good ingredients to make meals for Fang Yu.

It wasn’t that his older sister had changed her nature, but rather, she... was very afraid.

Every time Fang Yu left, the older sister never knew when Diao Deyi would be able to return, or if he could return.

She knew she wasn’t very capable.

But if one day, Diao Deyi didn’t return, she hoped that at least the meal they ate together that day was plentiful.

So that... even if it was down below, she could let Diao Deyi be a satisfied ghost.

This was the only thing the older sister could do.

She didn’t know what kind of work Diao Deyi was doing now, but she felt that this was no long-term solution.

She had thought about persuading Diao Deyi to resign from his position, turn around and learn some carpentry, as a modest wealth could bring peace, waiting to find their big brother and live a stable and peaceful life together.

But given Diao Deyi’s current restless style, he probably wouldn’t listen.

"All I hope for him is to be safe, always safe."

After cleaning the ingredients, the older sister began to cook.

In the room.

Fang Yu, whose head had been buried in a water bucket, suddenly lifted his head.

Splashing, the falling water droplets wet the floor.

Fang Yu shook his head and saw the system prompt.

, proficiency +1.]

Good.

An essential skill for actors has arrived.

Fang Yu is indeed in urgent need of this skill.

When acting as a double agent spy, one must certainly equip some acting skills.

It compensates for when your acting doesn’t cut it, and you need tears to do the job.

Unlike before, when it was your turn to cry and you couldn’t eke out a tear, greatly diminishing the impact.

Fang Yu isn’t a professional actor, so being able to supplement his acting weakness with a skill is quite nice.

Shen Lan, add points!

→Moist Eyes Skill .]

Done!

Fang Yu tried out the effect.

Swish swish, tears welled up in his eyes and quickly slid down from the corners.

Hmm, this is like the weeping style of Lin Daiyu.

Wiping away the tears, he slightly controlled the effect of the Moist Eyes Skill.

The tears slowly welled up in his eyes, and with a gentle blink, squeezed out from the corners.

Coupled with the effect of turning his head to the side, it was the ’A Man’s Tears Spilled Reluctantly’ weeping method.

Fang Yu was still pondering how to make his tears seem more contrived when his elder sister’s voice calling for dinner came from outside the door.

Fang Yu wiped his tears and stepped out the door.

No sooner had he come out and taken his seat.

The sister serving the dishes suddenly froze in place.

"Did you... did you cry?"

Huh? Can you tell?

Fang Yu’s eyes glanced at the copper mirror in the corner, faintly noticing a bit of redness in his right eye, probably because he had rubbed it a bit too hard earlier.

Additionally, the path of the tears left some not-so-obvious marks on his face.

From a distance or to someone unfamiliar, it might be hard to notice.

But what about his sister? Sensitive and observant, how could she not see it?

"What happened? Diao Deyi! Tell me!"

His sister put down the dishes and hurried over to Fang Yu, wiping his face with her fingers, her forehead pressing against his, worry and care in her eyes.

The faint fragrance of a woman wafted to Fang Yu’s nose.

Fang Yu’s heart stirred, and he gently pried his sister’s hands away, sighing.

"I just feel, like we have secrets between us now."

"Secrets? What secrets?" His sister was taken aback.

"You wouldn’t tell me the reason why today’s food is so elaborate."

Could it be because of this that Diao Deyi cried?

In a daze, his sister seemed to see the young Diao Deyi, who could easily cry over small matters, not at all manly.

But ever since that debt collection incident with the Black Tiger Gang, Diao Deyi had become so responsible, with much of a man’s spirit.

Although his sister liked that Diao Deyi, who could support their broken home,

It also made her feel somewhat alienated.

Until today.

Seeing Diao Deyi couldn’t help shedding tears over such a trivial matter.

That familiar feeling surged in her heart.

His sister’s eyes softened, and she gently stroked Diao Deyi’s cheeks.

Xiao Yi was still Xiao Yi, he had never changed.

"Don’t be awkward, couldn’t I just tell you?"

"I see you’re practicing martial arts, which is strenuous for the body. We didn’t have the means before, now I want you to eat better."

"Besides, every time you do a job it’s so dangerous, I don’t want you to risk your life on an empty stomach."

"So I thought, from now on, we should try to improve our meals a bit, even if it means spending more of our resources."

Her sister’s gentle explanation made Fang Yu feel somewhat embarrassed.

He was just trying to test the effectiveness of his tearful acting.

Turns out, he didn’t need such tactics with his sister.

Without having to squeeze a second tear, she confessed everything.

It even made Fang Yu feel a bit guilty about deceiving his sister.

Fang Yu quickly handed over 10 silver pieces.

"So that’s it. You should have said so earlier, sister."

"I just collected some reward money at the martial arts training hall today. Take this to help with our expenses."

"From now on, we’ll both eat well. You eat well, I eat well, let’s both nourish ourselves."
