Chapter 174: Fairy, Nice Kung Fu

…

Lei Qing was shaken, and his expression changed slightly. He hurriedly whispered, “Wu’er, this matter is absolutely impossible. I, Lei Qing, am just a small fry without much status, and my reputation is bad. If you announce our relationship, it will have very bad consequences and many negative effects on you. I do not agree.”

Hearing these words, the tenderness in Leng Yuewu’s eyes grew even stronger. She slowly shook her head and whispered, “I know you are actually a person with very strong self-esteem. If this woman had threatened you with other matters, you certainly would not have accepted such humiliation. But, you considered my reputation and my good name, and you would rather bear the humiliation that is very hard for you to endure. What more could I ask for in this life to have your sincere love and care like this? Reputation is merely something external.”

“No.” Lei Qing slowly shook his head and said, “Your reputation was not easily gained. Countless people regard you as a Goddess in the sky, worshipping and admiring you. I cannot bear to see your reputation ruined, suffering the curses and insults of thousands. Compared to the little humiliation I have to bear, it is not heavy. Alright, Wu’er, I am a man. Protecting and caring for one’s own woman is a matter of course. My cultivation strength is far inferior to yours, so I cannot protect you in that aspect. However, maintaining your good name, let me make this small contribution. This is just a small insistence of mine as a man.”

Just as Leng Yuewu was about to say something, she thought of Lei Qing’s words just now; she could not ignore a man’s self-esteem. Although there was reluctance in her eyes, she still slowly nodded.

Lei Qing released Leng Yuewu’s hand, walked over with steady steps, and cupped his hands toward Shentu Xue, who was sitting there stunned. He said, “Captain Shentu, I have offended you.” Lei Qing crouched down with an expressionless face, but his movements were very gentle as he lifted her leg. He used a unique massage technique to knead her thigh and calf.

To make women happy and coax them into bed, Lei Qing’s massage technique was learned from a highly reputed master in the capital city. It was unique and comfortable, allowing people to relax their muscles and meridians while feeling extreme enjoyment.

Shentu Xue felt a wonderful sensation. Normally, she should have let out a comfortable moan. But for some reason, she was like a walking corpse, letting Lei Qing do as he pleased, her eyes hollow and pale.

Watching Lei Qing crouching on the ground massaging a woman’s legs, Leng Yuewu felt shame and jealousy surging in her heart, and her delicate body trembled faintly. But she knew that Lei Qing was enduring humiliation entirely for the sake of her reputation she had built over the years. A slight warmth also surged in her heart, which made her feel heartache, but also felt moved and comfortable.

So, the feeling of being protected and cared for was quite beautiful. Actually, she didn’t really care much about reputation and such things. But letting Lei Qing take charge to protect her made her understand what was called respect.

“Why?” Shentu Xue’s tears slowly flowed down her cheeks. She whispered, “Lei Qing, can you tell me why? Was I not good enough to him? Was I not good enough to you?” Her voice was trembling, revealing a soul-lost atmosphere.

Lei Qing focused on helping her massage, fulfilling his promise. He sighed faintly and said, “Captain Shentu, if you do not know how to respect a man, how can you make a man respect you? If you do not know how to respect yourself, how can you make a man respect you? Respect, love, giving, and return all need to be relative and equal to be balanced. Blindly controlling and blindly following your own temper will not work. I don’t know how you were to him, but I know that you were indeed very good to me and took care of me. But this does not mean you can act willfully towards me, trample on my dignity, and control my behavior. Everyone has their own ideals and world. The world does not revolve around you.”

Lei Qing also had some sympathy for her, so he said so much in one breath. When he finished, the massage ended. Lei Qing slowly stood up, clasped his hands seriously, and said, “Captain Shentu, I have met your condition. Please keep your promise and do not speak of today’s events. If you break your promise, do not blame me, Lei Qing, for treating you as an enemy.”

Shentu Xue trembled, as if something most precious had been cut away from her heart. The heartbreaking pain made her retort with a trembling voice, “Lei Qing, are you threatening me?”

“It’s not really a threat.” Lei Qing looked indifferent and said calmly, “I am just stating a fact. If Captain Shentu wants to gain the respect of others, please respect yourself. I hope you won’t look down on yourself in the future, and don’t let me, Lei Qing, look down on you either.”

Shentu Xue’s delicate body trembled. She stood up slowly with an expressionless face, staring fixedly at Lei Qing with somewhat desolate eyes. “You are a man who is willing to endure even the humiliation I gave you to protect your woman. I respect you. I will absolutely not speak of this matter to anyone, please rest assured. It’s just, heh…” She laughed, laughing very desolately. “Why couldn’t I meet a man like you earlier? Thank you, Lei Qing, I understand now. It turns out it wasn’t his fault, it was my fault.”

After saying that, Shentu Xue slowly walked out. Her steps were staggering and somewhat soul-lost, her back looking lonely and miserable.

Only when she reached the door did Lei Qing sigh lightly and say, “Captain Shentu, although I don’t know exactly what happened. But that matter was definitely his fault. Because a simple and beautiful good woman like Captain Shentu is worth cherishing and caring for. It is he who doesn’t understand you; that is his loss. In the future, please take good care of yourself. There are many bad men in the world, but there are also many good men. I believe Captain Shentu will definitely meet a good man who can truly understand you, cherish you, and care for you. Take care.”

Shentu Xue did not turn back, only her fragrant shoulders kept trembling. She stood there for a full ten-plus breaths before slowly saying, “Captain Lei, take care.” She lifted the curtain and walked out.

After she had walked far away, Leng Yuewu walked lightly towards Lei Qing, gently grabbed his hand, and said softly, “Lei Qing, thank you.” She had heard the conversation between Lei Qing and Shentu Xue in her ears and remembered it in her heart, feeling a lot.

“It’s nothing. Captain Shentu has actually always taken good care of me, and I was also afraid that in your blazing rage, you would kill her with one sword.” Lei Qing chuckled: “Although Captain Shentu’s temper is a bit explosive, she is also a pitiful person and a good person. She doesn’t deserve to die.”

As soon as Lei Qing said this, the burden in Leng Yuewu’s heart suddenly lightened a lot. Her mindset also relaxed a lot, and a smile faintly revealed in her eyes: “In your eyes, am I that fierce and unreasonable?”

“Uh…” Lei Qing laughed dryly twice and said, “How is that possible? Wu’er, you are gentle and virtuous, dignified and generous, understanding, pure as ice and jade, a peerless good woman. If one marries you as a wife, it is a blessing for any man.”

“As soon as I hear your words, I know you are not speaking from the heart.” Leng Yuewu said gently: “But this cannot be blamed on you, it was I who was too fierce to you before. In the future, I will learn to respect you more.”

Lei Qing gave a heh-heh laugh, nodded in appreciation, and said, “Not bad, you have improved. Remember to treat me well in the future. You need to know what is heaven and what is earth. I am your heaven. If I tell you to go east, you cannot go west. If I say that is a horse, you absolutely cannot say it is a deer. If I say that piece of paper is black, you have to play the good wife and say it is black. Did you hear that clearly?” Lei Qing spoke with a hint of smugness.

“I heard it clearly.” The tenderness in Leng Yuewu’s eyes increased greatly. She looked like a virtuous wife and mother, speaking obediently.

“It’s good that you understand.” Lei Qing sat down on the chair with a thump, crossed his legs, and said arrogantly, “Wu’er, go burn some bath water, help me wash my body, then give me a leg massage, a foot rub, and loosen my muscles and bones. By the way, sing a little song to make me happy. These are all the duties of a wife. Do you understand?”

“I understand.” Leng Yuewu’s eyes were gentle as she leaned forward and slapped a palm onto his shoulder. Ice Fighting Qi invaded his meridians and acupoints, instantly making his whole body feel like it had fallen into an ice cellar, sealing his key acupoints. His whole body was sore and numb, unable to exert strength. She smiled gently and coldly, saying, “I understand that your bones are loose and need tightening.”

“Hey, hey, Wu’er, don’t mess around.” Invaded by the Ice Fighting Qi, Lei Qing’s pores immediately stood up. Seeing her eyes that were gentle yet filled with extreme coldness, he shivered violently and hurriedly said with a guilty look on his face, “I’m injured, Fairy, please go easy.”

“Don’t worry, I treated your injury, so I know your condition better than you do.” Leng Yuewu’s smile revealed a bone-chilling coldness: “Lei Qing, I will listen to you. I’ll help you wash your body first, and then we can do some other things.”

“No need, no need. I can handle such a small matter myself. How could I trouble the Fairy’s jade hands?” Lei Qing knew things were not good, filled with a bad premonition, and hurriedly shook his head with a forced smile.

“How can that be? If you think I am not virtuous enough or considerate enough, what if you use that as an excuse to abandon me later?” Leng Yuewu was gentle to the bone, speaking softly: “Lei Lang, your clothes are in the way, let me help you undress first.”

That tender and charming appearance, Lei Qing had never enjoyed from her before. Seeing it suddenly like this made his heart ripple uncontrollably. Could it be true? Had Leng Yuewu been trained into a virtuous wife type by him?

Suddenly, a cold light flashed past, blooming instantly. Leng Yuewu actually used her palm as a sword, striking out a blast of Ice Sword Qi. It was like a razor, cutting back and forth across his body.

Lei Qing’s cold hairs stood up all at once, his face filled with terror and panic. Strands of icy wind passed close to his body. The cold light disappeared, and after a few quick moments, Lei Qing’s entire body was smooth and bare, leaving only a pair of underwear.

“Fairy, nice… nice kung fu.” Lei Qing’s heart was in his throat. He swallowed his saliva and praised her in flattery.
