Chapter 233: Chapter 233 Chen Xiyao Resolves to Practice Hard

"What nonsense is this?" The headquarters of the Kaidan Countermeasure Bureau received a notification from West Capital City, and the analysis group let out a soul-wrenching cry much like their colleagues from the West Capital branch just moments before, falling into a state of "Did I just hear something weird?" confusion.

"You heard right, it’s the Gold Pelvic Iron River Chariot Hexagram Cross Training Fetus Protection Skill." On the other end of the call, Ms. Qian Hongxiu, head of the archives group and chosen for this cultivation technique handover task due to her strong expression management, was speaking rapidly to suppress an impending breakdown:

"This is from the [Instructor]... uh, Mr. Mo Ju, a martial art developed specifically to protect the safety of women and infants, allowing cultivation to begin directly from the fetus, practiced by the mother.

"According to the main description, this Kung Fu is divided into two volumes. The first volume can be practiced by ordinary females, focusing on the womb and pelvic strengthening, not only enhancing fitness but also effectively treating many gynecological issues, and to some extent, preventing sexual crimes.

"The second volume requires partial mastery of the first and a foundation in Inner Strength, only practicable after pregnancy. It can adjust womb pressure, promote blood supply, and assist with Inner Power Cultivation, fostering fetal development akin to nurturing education, improving fetal physical qualities, and providing protection during pregnancy.

"As per the guide, just five months into the cultivation, the fetus can achieve a physical condition equivalent to the third level of the Golden Bell Shield (comparable to wearing a stab-proof vest), increase normal delivery rates, without affecting development, bypass initial body conditioning phases in future Cross Training Techniques, and start directly with Protective Qi practice. That’s it."

Having finished, a somewhat flushed Qian Hongxiu was about to hang up when the researcher on the other end urgently interrupted:

"Wait a moment, this introduction is too vague. An actual analysis will take a lot of time. I need to meet with the exchange personnel, this cultivation technique is very important, many details need to be clarified with Mr. Mo Ju to aid in analysis..."

"She handed the technique over and went to the movies with Mr. Mo Ju. From the timing, it’ll be two hours before the screening ends, and whatever activity follows... hmm, do you need me to call her now and ask? By the way, I forgot to mention, the first volume contains some aspects of bedroom techniques."

Qian Hongxiu gleefully suggested, and the researcher on the other end immediately fell silent before slowly replying:

"No need."

...

"Click..."

"Who... Yaoyao? Didn’t you say you’d be back later today?" Sitting on the sofa working on Qi Cultivation, Chen Mom looked up in surprise as Chen Xiyao entered, asking aloud in surprise.

Chen Xiyao puffed up her cheeks like a pufferfish, huffing angrily:

"Someone gave me a riddle!"

"A riddle? What’s that supposed to mean? Were you bullied?" Chen Mom was suddenly baffled, uncertain what had provoked her daughter. She had left in high spirits as if off to see someone special, so why return home resembling an angry pufferfish? It didn’t seem like a fallout with a partner either!

"No!" Chen Xiyao frowned, then took a pile of printed sheets from her bag and placed them on the table:

"Didn’t you say you wanted a second child before? Practice this Kung Fu, and aim to give birth to an unparalleled Martial Arts Genius!"

"You child! How could you seek help for such things!" Chen Mom was briefly dumbfounded by her daughter’s words, her face turning awkward, momentarily suspecting her daughter might have been misunderstood as wanting to prepare for pregnancy while getting hold of this Kung Fu for her!

Thinking along these lines, Chen Mom’s concerns vanished, her curiosity piqued as she grabbed the stack of documents from the table. This era was increasingly unfathomable, beauty treatments had Kung Fu, virility boosting had Kung Fu, now even prenatal and fetal safety had Kung Fu...

Wow, what a long name!

Seeing her mother not asking further, Chen Xiyao breathed a sigh of relief, turned, and went directly into her room, making several quick steps to her desk and pressing the power button.

Staring at her old computer that was usually decent, but now seemed unbearably slow, Chen Xiyao frantically scratched her head — if not for the smartphone’s search engine linking directly to the Kaidan Countermeasure Bureau’s intranet, she’d have gone mad waiting to return home!

"I’m so annoyed! We were right at the hotel entrance and he spoke in riddles! Is the Countermeasure Bureau spying on people? Something chilled to the bone, something about not thinking with his small head... He’s all geared up and talking like this!"

Pacing back and forth, her mind filled with Feng Xue’s retreating figure, Chen Xiyao was certain Feng Xue wasn’t indifferent to her! What a joke, if seeing the hotel sign causes that kind of... reaction, could it really be indifference?

"It can’t be because he cultivates some kind of virgin Kung Fu, right?" Chen Xiyao grimaced, feeling like she was about to explode.

"Let me see what this Ultimate Bladder Sword is all about!" Finally seeing the computer boot up, Chen Xiyao sat in front of the screen, quickly opening the browser.

And then...

"Bang!"

Having not seated herself properly, she toppled backward with the chair but was completely unfazed by the detail, lying there with a flushed face mumbling to herself—

"Is it really that powerful?"

"Might it be fatal?"

"So it’s physical, this ’thinking with the small head’ thing?"

"No wonder a Gold Pelvic is needed..."

"Crack!" Suddenly, the door swung open, and a voice came from Chen Mom—

"Yaoyao, what’s with the noise... uh, why aren’t you getting up after falling on the floor?"

"No, nothing!" Chen Xiyao vigorously rubbed her face, trying to look normal, then seriously said:

"Mom, that Kung Fu must be pretty hard to learn, right? I’ll practice with you..."

"No, it’s quite simple, similar to yoga..."

"I! Will! Practice! With! You! Together!"

...

"Phew... Are young people nowadays all so proactive?" Escaping from the hourly hotel, Feng Xue wiped sweat from his forehead. He certainly wasn’t some high-pressure water cutter, nor did he possess any constant Ultimate Bladder Sword buff — it was ultimately just an excuse for refusal.

He admitted he was a bit excessive in these matters, not that he was a typical wishy-washy light novel protagonist, rather he was hung up on certain additional factors.

Though he wasn’t rigid on social status matches, certain things like life expectancy were unavoidable barriers.

Considering this, Jessica was even more suitable compared to Chen Xiyao, though Chen Xiyao struck his fancy more, at least Jessica had a Libra Kaidan to fall back on.

In some sense, the alias Mo Ju was an attempt at a uniquely Yan Country collective Kaidan experiment.

Yet observing the present popularity, it was clearly not a hit.

"I’ve become too bigheaded! There are still three months to go before late November. Better take care of myself first."

Shaking his head, Feng Xue returned to his apartment, took out a phantom entity named "Abyssal Mouth," switching himself to Wise Man Mode, and went back to his workstation, rolling dice one by one.

And just like that, the Qixi Festival passed without joy or sorrow...
