Chapter 289: Chapter 190, Not Yet An Adult! _3

Only they knew how difficult it was just to stay alive.

"Where is the old man’s confidence coming from?" Tang Fei thought to himself.

He decided to find time to talk with him, using his confidence to firm up his own Dao heart.

"Brother, what shall we do after dinner?" Little Fatty asked.

Tang Fei put aside his worries and said aloud, "You’ve had some alcohol, just rest well. I’ll go to the Training Room to practice swordsmanship later..."

Little Fatty didn’t understand cultivation. He had to rely entirely on his body to slowly metabolize the alcohol.

Tang Fei was different, as he could use the Yin Yang Qi to force all the alcohol out of his system.

It was like detoxifying in martial arts novels...

Little Fatty looked up at Tang Fei and said softly, "Bro, you’re too tired."

He didn’t know what exactly happened, but he knew his brother was definitely hiding something.

They could have lived more easily and comfortably, but he could feel an intense urgency in his brother, as though every second counted.

Whether happy or relaxed enough to sip an extra bit of wine, he had to quickly drive it out of his system, so he could dive right back into training.

For someone of his age, it was simply too much to bear.

Tang Fei paused for a moment and smiled. "It’s okay... What’s there to be tired about? Isn’t this life much happier than back in the Old Land?"

"No," Little Fatty shook his head, "When you were in the Old Land... you actually weren’t this tired. No one there could beat you."

"There were no cultivators in the Old Land," Tang Fei said irritably. "But it’s different on New Star... Look around us, everyone is more formidable than the next. Can we afford not to strive hard?"

"Bro, are you doing this to marry Sister Phoenix?" Little Fatty asked.

"Why do you ask that?"

"Sister Phoenix is a Princess. To marry her... you have to be very, very strong," Little Fatty said. "That’s why you’re working so hard, isn’t it?"

Tang Fei was silent for a moment and then said, "I didn’t expect you to see through me."

Little Fatty beamed with pride and said, "I knew it long ago. Don’t worry, bro, I’ll help you."

"Good, you also need to work hard in fetching water and improve your strength."

"Okay." Little Fatty jumped up from the sofa and said, "Bro, I’ll start now..."

"Lie down, lie down..." Tang Fei quickly pushed the excited Little Fatty back down, saying, "You’ve just had alcohol, how can you do intense training? What if you hurt your body? That would be self-defeating. Just lie down, we can start from tomorrow. It won’t be too late."

"Oh." Little Fatty lay back down.

He found lying down quite comfortable indeed.

"Bro, we’ve been on New Star for so long, but we haven’t really gone out to have fun," Little Fatty said. "We’ve been here so long, I don’t even know what Phoenix City looks like."

"Yes," Tang Fei replied.

Since their arrival on New Star, they had encountered all sorts of things, and it was never peaceful around them.

Other times were spent in cultivation and training, with hardly any time for leisure.

Tang Fei hesitated for a moment and said, "How about we skip training today, and I take you out for a stroll?"

Little Fatty again jumped up from the sofa, eyes shining, face full of excitement asking, "Brother, really?"

He was still childishly curious about the unknown world.

"Yes." Tang Fei nodded. "Shall I take you to... the cinema? Or do you want to go to the arcade?"

"Either is fine," Little Fatty said joyfully. "I’ve never been to either."

"Then we’ll...."

As Tang Fei was thinking about where to take Little Fatty for some fun, the house’s doorbell rang.

When Tang Fei saw Sheng Xinhua’s exquisite face on the screen of the video doorbell, he asked in surprise, "What is she doing here?"

Little Fatty, too, saw Mr. Sheng and said, "Brother, is Mr. Sheng coming to drink with you? She said she’d often come over to our place for a drink... I heard her."

"But today is Winter Solstice, shouldn’t she be at home celebrating with her family?"

Tang Fei opened the front gate and he and Little Fatty went out to greet her.

Sheng Xinhua was dressed in a black leather jacket and shorts, revealing her long, alluring legs.

Her feet were adorned with strappy high heels, adding significantly to her height.

Her tank top’s neckline was cut low, her ample chest prominently displayed, showing off a vast expanse of whiteness.

Red lipstick and purple eyeshadow.

She looked meticulously made-up for the evening.

At this moment, Sheng Xinhua seemed less like a professor of classical literature at the Imperial First Military Academy and more like a rebellious girl who hung out in nightclubs.

Because her cleavage was so glaring, Little Fatty felt uncomfortable even looking.

Tang Fei felt it was too impolite not to look... it was disrespectful...

"Why are you here?" Tang Fei asked, looking straight into Sheng Xinhua’s eyes. "And dressed like that?"

"I got restless after dinner at home, so I came over to find you guys. Have you two had dinner?" Sheng Xinhua asked.

"We’ve eaten," Tang Fei said.

"That’s good, come with me," Sheng Xinhua waved her large hand and was about to turn and get into her car.

"Wait..." Tang Fei called out. "Where are you taking us?"

"To experience life, to see the world," Sheng Xinhua said. "You two practice every morning, and come back to practice in the evening, and even at school you’re practicing... Aren’t you tired? Isn’t it annoying? Is there any fun in that kind of life? Living like you are dead..."

"Who says we’re living like we’re dead? We were just about to go to the arcade," Tang Fei said.

He knew that on New Star there were many arcades where, after connecting to the neural interface device, you could enter the game world and experience the wonderful landscapes and thrilling fights in the games.

"That place for little kids, it’s not suitable for you guys," Sheng Xinhua said disdainfully. "I’m taking you two to a place for adults..."

Tang Fei paled and said firmly, "We’re not going to the Red Light District..."

He pointed at Little Fatty, "Little Fatty isn’t even of age yet."

You can corrupt me, but don’t corrupt my brother.
