Chapter 24 - 24 Intelligence Update
[Today's Intelligence Update (Level 1)]
[1. Today you saved Doctor Bai, gaining the intelligence that Doctor Bai tried to test you with three taels of silver. You did not accept it. Doctor Bai appreciated you and will come to recruit you as an apprentice tomorrow.]
[2. Today you came into contact with Wu Zhong's millstone, gaining the intelligence that Wu Zhong was getting a bit older, and his strength had slightly declined. Recently, he had been actively exercising and taking supplements in preparation to compete for the position of Village Chief of Xiantao Town!]
[3. Today you met Ma Liu, gaining the intelligence that Ma Liu was highly valued by the young master of Yu's Treasure House. He taught him a set of External Training that common people cannot approach easily, not even three to five at a time.]
[4. Today you passed by Yu's Treasure House, gaining the information that the head of the Yu family, Yu Biao, originated from Guild Cao. His strength had already surpassed the Skin Barrier, and recently he was
A hint of murderous intent flashed in Chen Jie's eyes.
*Chen Jie disliked being targeted. Whenever it happened, he needed to find a way to eradicate it. Unfortunately, he was not strong enough, so he would have to bide his time until he found an opportunity to... strike decisively and take the initiative.*
Chen Jie analyzed the intelligence and felt that it was not yet time to be complacent. He sat up and resumed practicing the Yang Chun Skill.
The night was uneventful. The next morning, Chen Jie was cross-legged and training, when suddenly the door to the inner room quietly opened. Su Yunjin stepped out while buttoning her dress, ready to prepare breakfast.
But the moment she came out, she saw that Chen Jie was already sitting up, staring at her with wide eyes. Their eyes met.
Su Yunjin completely did not expect Chen Jie to be awake at this time. Usually, she would have finished making breakfast and had to wait a while for him to wake up.
Why today?
Chen Jie also looked at Su Yunjin, noticing her hand was still buttoning her clothes, but the neckline exposed a white expanse. Looking further in, there was a red bellyband, and he could vaguely see the mandarin duck motif on it.
*So white!*
Only this thought was in Chen Jie's mind. Su Yunjin, however, was startled, quickly covering her chest.
She fled into the inner room, and after a moment, she came out again, her clothes securely buttoned. However, her face was as red as a teapot.
Chen Jie calmly said, "We are old married couples. Is it necessary?"
Su Yunjin gave Chen Jie a surprised look, then quickly ran to the kitchen to cook. He paused, wondering what that look meant just now?
Was there a story?
*A bit perplexing.*
But Chen Jie soon stopped thinking about it. The sky was bright, so there was no point in staying in bed. He got up, went outside, and did a set of exercises to stretch his body. Then Chen Jie noticed that there was a large millstone in the yard.
He tried to move it, but it was impossible. Thus, Chen Jie began looking for stones of a similar size to start strength training.
No Cultivation Technique for martial arts? No problem. He could first strengthen his body.
Starting today, each day he would lift stones a hundred times, do two hundred push-ups, two hundred frog jumps, two hundred jumping jacks, using all the methods he learned from his previous life to strengthen his body first.
With this, Chen Jie began practicing under the morning sun. Soon, he was drenched in sweat. He took off his shirt, training bare-chested, meanwhile, Su Yunjin was drawn by his actions, glancing outside while cooking.
When she saw Chen Jie's entire body glisten with sweat under the sunlight, that robust masculine aura made Su Yunjin's cheeks flush.
This level of masculinity, she had never seen before, and for a moment, she felt her heart racing, her face heating up, and her eyes could not move away.
"Is this what a man is?"
*Su Yunjin muttered, quickly lowering her head, her face blushing as she scolded herself,* "Su Yunjin, how shameless you are! Is this something you should be watching?"
But another voice inside reminded Su Yunjin, "He is your husband, is there anything wrong with looking?"
