Chapter 2279: Harsh Criticism? Murong Qinghe felt as if she had experienced an incredible dream. In it, she and big brother Chu lived together and experienced a fairytale life. She had never been so happy before. Even though she was a bit uncomfortable at first, what came after was a kind of feeling she had never experienced before. In the past, she had always felt extremely happy when she made cultivation breakthroughs, but she had never expected that... this would feel even a bit better. This beautiful dream was just too amazing, but eventually, she discovered that big brother Chu ended up becoming big brother Zu! She was startled awake. Soon after, she felt a special kind of pressure that made her cheeks turn red. It wasn’t a dream! She quickly realized where she was. The familiar sweet scent around her, and the special new bed, meant she was supposed to be here with big brother Chu. But for some reason, the night light that was left in the room had already gone out and the room was pitch-black. She couldn't see clearly at all. Only, why would she need to see clearly? This was her and big brother Chu’s room, and they slept together. Who else could this be but her lover? Why would I still dream about big brother Zu? Murong Qinghe, Murong Qinghe, you're already big brother Chu’s woman! Why would you still have such stray thoughts? But soon after, she had no more time to think about those things. She felt as if her entire body was about to explode. She bit her lip, then held the man next to her tightly. She was incredibly embarrassed. Big brother Chu looks so refined and scholarly normally, but the muscles under his clothes are so... In that instant, she felt as if something was wrong. However, big brother Chu rarely touched her body, and she had only touched his arm at most. She had never seen him with his clothes off, so her slight confusion quickly disappeared. A while later, her face turned redder. Suddenly, a memory of fighting the Fiend races in the army alongside her grandfather appeared in her mind. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺 The Fiend races had a kind of creature called a minotaur that was extremely strong; one of their greatest abilities was their powerful wild charge. They often charged straight into the human army. A bit of carelessness could mean an entire army formation would be ruined, allowing the minotaurs to charge straight through. If the front line was broken through, the entire army would break apart. When she thought about big brother Chu’s refined appearance, Murong Qinghe gritted her teeth. How can I disappoint big brother Chu so quickly? Her pride and competitive spirit were stirred up, and she put away those thoughts of defeat. She composed herself, resolving to compete against him again! She understood the power of the minotaurs’ wild charges well. She gave up on the idea of fighting head-on at the front gate and decided to draw the enemy in even deeper, to lure them into the city and fight their soldiers in the alleys. Once the impulsive minotaurs entered the city, she could then lay an ambush for them from all sides. After all, the first spurt of energy wouldn’t last forever. No matter how strong the minotaur was, their charge would eventually run out of momentum and they would grow tired. That would be the chance for her to mount a comeback. She didn’t understand why she was suddenly remembering her experiences in the army, but her pride didn’t allow her to acknowledge defeat so easily. Big brother Chu also seemed to have noticed her provocation and reacted with surprise. He began to increase the strength of his assault. Murong Qinghe was immediately stunned. She finally understood the meaning behind the words her grandfather had told her about war. Before absolute strength, all strategy is meaningless. She discovered that not only had her alley combat plan not redeemed the situation, it had somehow made the enemy even stronger! In the end, she had a relieved smile on her face. Losing to big brother Chu wasn’t too bad either. When she realized that, she gave up on resistance and did her best to soften her body instead. She only wanted her lover to feel as happy and comfortable as possible. After she hit her climax, she hugged the man on top of her tightly. She moved her lips close to his ear and whispered, “Big brother Chu, it seems your usual refined demeanor is a facade. But I’m really happy that we can finally be together.” Zu An was stunned. When he heard the voice, his first thought was that he had heard 'big brother Zu'. But a few seconds later, he finally reacted. He quickly looked down at the beauty in his arms. A look of shock appeared on his face. His drunkenness immediately cleared up considerably out of fear. The beauty’s hair was disheveled, and her tanned skin now carried an enchanting blush. Her red wedding clothes were scattered all over the ground. The characters of 'double happiness' were stuck all around the room. In that instant, too many thoughts appeared in Zu An’s mind. Did I lose all of my morality because of the alcohol? I went straight into the bride’s room and did something so terrible? Was it because my cultivation is too high that the Chu clan couldn't stop me? I’m a complete brute! He was even starting to look down on himself. After all, Youzhao and Qinghe both had a good relationship with him, and they were so close to the Chu clan. And yet now, he had ended up bullying the Chu clan’s new bride in public! But soon after, he was a bit puzzled. Why did he have no impression of these things at all? I remember Zhang Zitong brought me back to my room to sleep. With his cultivation, even if he was drunk, he shouldn’t have been unable to feel anything at all, right? “Big brother Chu, what’s wrong?” Murong Qinghe felt the changes happening to her man and was a bit confused. Why did big brother Chu suddenly stop moving? And he seemed to be looking down on me from above. When she thought about what she no doubt looked like right now, Murong Qinghe only felt embarrassed from being stared at. That was why she got up to hug her man again, saying, “Big brother Chu, don’t look at me like that. I’ll get embarrassed...” Her cultivation wasn’t high enough to see the other person in the darkness, but she could vaguely make out his outline and his bright eyes. Zu An sucked in air through his teeth. Murong Qinghe really is a rare talent. Her young body is actually so charming. Wait, why is she calling me big brother Chu? Does she think I'm Chu Youzhao? Just what is going on? While he was thinking about what to do, Murong QInghe wrapped tightly around him like an octopus. Her waist began to move up and down like a wave. Zu An looked at the messy yet dazzling wedding clothes and the tenderness of a bride, watching the natural charm of her underripe movements. This somewhat taboo situation in particular was something that was hard for him to resist even with all of his experience. The volcano completely erupted! Murong Qinghe cried out in surprise. Even though she was in the army, and her body was tougher than that of a normal young lady, how could she withstand the battering of waves upon waves like this? Her eyes rolled back, and she fainted on the spot. Only after a while did Zu An gradually calm down. He searched around with his divine sense and noticed Chu Youzhao next door. His face darkened. With a flash, he instantly reappeared next door. “What is going on?” Zu An was about to criticize her harshly, but he was stunned instead. He saw that Youzhao’s hair was a bit messy and she wasn’t in her usual male getup. She had completely returned to her female appearance with pretty features. Her beautiful hair fell across her shoulders in disarray. She seemed to only be wearing her sleepwear and was wrapped in covers. There was a redness on her face that normally wasn't there, and she looked as if she was about to cry. Zu An was stunned. “Ah!” Chu Youzhao cried out in alarm, but quickly covered her mouth for fear of alerting Zhang Zitong outside. She had never expected Zu An to suddenly appear here! After all, she had just listened to all the activity next door. How could a young lady like her withstand such passionate sounds? Her face and ears quickly turned red, and her entire body heated up badly. She couldn't help but remove her outer garments as well and lie down in bed. As she sensed his smell, her expression became one of confusion. “Brother... Brother-in-law.” Chu Youzhao shrank into her covers, feeling embarrassed and guilty. She didn’t dare to look into his eyes at all. “Why was I next door? What is going on with Qinghe?” Zu An asked with a frown. When he saw the way she was acting, it didn’t seem as if he had forcefully created this situation. Chu Youzhao said quietly, “Brother-in-law, you know I'm a woman, so how could I sleep with Qinghe? That’s why I had to ask you for help.” Zu An was stunned. He almost laughed out of annoyance. “Someone can help with even this kind of thing?” “Why not? Brother-in-law isn’t an outsider, and little sister Qinghe likes you a lot too.” Chu Youzhao blushed. This matter was a bit ridiculous, so it was no wonder that her brother-in-law had such a strong reaction. “Absolute nonsense!” Zu An was immediately left speechless. Just what was going on inside this young lady's head?
