Unstoppable Martial Arts: Starting with brother's wife and young sister
Chapter 83 - 82: The Contrasting Pei Yuenan

Chapter 83: Chapter 82: The Contrasting Pei Yuenan

"Did you do it on purpose?"

On the carriage, Chen Xuan looked at her with a mischievous smile.

"I just found him becoming more and more hypocritical. Since he won’t say it, well, I might as well pretend to be clueless too."

There was a sly glint in Pei Yuenan’s eyes.

But then she added, "And I also know, my husband doesn’t like dealing with such people!"

Having been around Chen Xuan for several days, although she didn’t know him very well yet, she did gather some information about him from Su Wanqiu and Su Yun.

He,

dotes on his woman.

Hates trouble and those hypocritical people.

Prefers things to be more genuine.

That’s also why she deliberately tested Chen Xuan last time and then intentionally neglected him in the study.

"Guess right, I’ll reward you." Saying that, he kissed her forehead, and Pei Yuenan leaned into his embrace, rubbing her cheek against his chest, full of tenderness at the moment.

"Thank you, husband!"

These words came from the heart.

And the word ’husband’ also meant that in the future, everything would revolve around Chen Xuan, whether it’s the Pei Family or her father, all have to come after Chen Xuan.

The change was so significant because today, she felt paternal love that she hadn’t felt for a long time.

And also, the love Chen Xuan had for her.

With his current identity and status, calling Pei Geng ’father-in-law’ with every word.

She knew well that it was to give her face, and give face to the Pei Family.

At this time, the corner of Chen Xuan’s mouth also curled up slightly, quite satisfied. Even during their new marriage, although she wasn’t perfunctory, it still never felt like the way with Su Wanqiu and Su Yun.

Wholeheartedly adored, for the Chen family, he was heaven!

But, just the word ’husband’ just now, he was sure he felt that feeling.

"Women from big families are quite simple, huh."

His face was filled with pride now too.

....

When the two returned to the Chen Mansion, the sky had already completely darkened.

That night,

Pei Yuenan, outwardly pure, was exceptionally passionate tonight.

The kind of passion that went beyond Chen Xuan’s imagination.

Last night’s skills, although a bit awkward at first, became more familiar as time passed.

Pei Yuenan even extended some high-level skills herself, after all, being a Martial Artist, her talent was several levels above Su Wanqiu and her sister.

But Chen Xuan, tonight, was unusually fierce, stimulated by her intense contrast.

As Martial Artists, they didn’t know how many times they sparred that night.

Even the outer silk quilt was almost completely wet, of course, mostly by Pei Yuenan.

But it also showed how intense the battle was.

Of course, the final victor... was still Chen Xuan.

...

The next day, morning.

Shafts of golden morning sunlight streamed through the window into the room.

Dyeing the wooden furniture in the room with a layer of warm golden hue, and Chen Xuan, tired from the night before, slowly opened his eyes.

[Last night’s tender Yuenan, rewarded with 70 Skill Points from bound spouse Su Yun! Famous Spring Water bonus 14 points!]

"70 points?"

Looking at the flickering message at the corner of his eye.

Chen Xuan was somewhat puzzled.

Because before his grand marriage, it was usually 50 points per day, but on the first night with Pei Yuenan, it increased to 60 points.

Why did it increase again today?

"Is it because Su Yun’s strength improved, or is it because of Pei Yuenan?"

At this moment, Chen Xuan was a bit confused.

This system, it’s no longer about whether it’s decent or not, even these Skill Points are making him a bit perplexed now.

Shaking his head, feeling a bit helpless inside.

...

In the study.

Chen Xuan closed the book "Shattering Void Palm" that Pei Geng gave him.

"System!"

A golden panel appeared before his eyes.

The martial skills section had an additional line.

Shattering Void Palm (Foundation Unreached (0/400))

"400 points!"

Chen Xuan gasped, higher by 100 points compared to entering the foundation for the palm.

He knew that the more points needed by his system, the higher the quality of the martial skill.

Where did the Pei Family get such high-level martial skills, even the collection from his grand mansion couldn’t compare?

"Seems like I underestimated Yunze County, also underestimated the so-called three big families."

With the growth in strength and status, his inner self also began to inflate.

Since experiencing the arena battle, the so-called three big families weren’t that impressive to him.

Looking back now, he felt he might have looked down on them a bit too much.

"Need to remain humble and low-key!"

After all, a cornered dog can still bite, let alone the three big families.

In future conduct, he needed to be cautious, not to have such arrogance, which served as a wake-up call for himself.

After a bit of self-reflection, his gaze returned to the panel in front of him.

About 1500 points short, at the current rate, 70 points a day, plus the 14-point Spring Water bonus, it would take about a little over half a month.

Calculating the points needed for the next realm of the Nine Revolutions Secret Technique in his mind.

"Half a month, should be able to reach the Fifth Grade, right?"

At this moment, Chen Xuan’s eyes flashed with excitement, the Fifth Grade!

Stuck at the sixth grade for quite some time now.

Rising one level within the middle three grades is incredibly difficult; it’s no wonder he’s so excited.

The fifth grade level, back then on the arena, the pressure from that palm strike by Yao De is something he still can’t forget.

The mere thought of it makes his hair stand on end.

The overwhelming pressure even made breathing difficult.

And this was just Yao De.

Not to mention the one who injured him with a single palm strike, Ning Xian!

Though both are at the fifth grade, the disparity is extreme.

Not long ago, he even asked his uncle what his current strength was.

When he heard he was also at the fifth grade, Chen Xuan couldn’t even believe it.

Just fifth grade? His disappointment was apparent.

But he got kicked by his uncle for it.

Who scolded him angrily, saying he was dismissive of the fifth grade!

It was then he learned that the fifth grade is also referred to as marrow cleansing.

This phase is where an ordinary person’s regular marrow is replaced with Martial Dao bone.

In preparation for the next realm.

It can be said that the fifth grade is the most crucial phase in the Martial Dao, and also the one requiring the most time.

Because after completely cleansing the regular marrow, one still needs to refine the Martial Dao bone.

Thus, the strength at the fifth grade,

First looks at the extent of the marrow cleansing,

Second at the refinement of the Martial Dao bone.

So, even being at the same fifth grade, the strength disparity is immense.

And Chen Xiu had fallen by one realm, so regardless if it’s marrow cleansing or bone refinement, he surpassed Zuo Qiu Ming and Primordial Thunder completely.

This is also why, even when injured, his strength surpasses these two.

Therefore, the kick Chen Xuan received was not unjustified.

...

Not until noon did Su Yun come to the study, calling him for lunch, did he break free from his thoughts.

All the way, the little girl clung to Chen Xuan’s arm, not saying a word, just resting her head on him.

At that moment, Chen Xuan realized... this little girl missed him!

Inside the main hall.

As Chen Xuan sat down, the women and Xiaohai took their seats.

Su Wanqiu and Pei Yuenan sat on his sides, Su Yun sat next to her sister, followed by Liu Rushi and Xiaohai.

"Let’s eat!"

Now he increasingly carried the authority of a family head.

Just as he picked up his chopsticks, Pei Yuenan put a piece of meat into his bowl, "This is demon beast meat I brought from the Pei Family. Sister Wanqiu and I tried cooking it. See if you like it?"

After speaking, she seemed a bit nervous.

Chen Xuan was a bit surprised, never expecting the grand miss of the Pei Family would personally cook.

If people in Yunze County heard, they’d think he was dreaming, saying such nonsense.

Yet his heart was increasingly satisfied with her.

"Thank you." Chen Xuan also spoke, expressing his gratitude.

"I gladly did it myself, just worried it might not taste good. Try it." Pei Yuenan smiled gently, her starry eyes were pure, making one feel peaceful.

"Alright, I’ll try."

Chen Xuan picked up the piece of dark brown meat and put it in his mouth.

Honestly, compared to the Pei Mansion, it paled quite a bit.

One might say it’s barely edible, a bit too salty.

But considering it’s her first time cooking, a pass.

He smiled and praised, "Not bad, still room for improvement."

"Really?"

"Of course!"

"That’s great!"

Pei Yuenan breathed a sigh of relief, her starry eyes filled with joy.

It’s clear how happy she was inside.

Seeing how delicious the meat was, Su Yun found it too far to reach and quickly cooed at Chen Xuan, "I want to try Sister Yue Nan’s cooking too, Brother Xuan, won’t you get me a piece?"

Give it to her? With her character, wouldn’t that reveal the truth?

Could Pei Yuenan save face then?

So, he decisively refused, "No, this meat is from a mid-tier demon beast. It would be too much for someone without any grade!"

"Ah~~~"

The little girl looked disappointed, but the next moment she doubted, "Really?"

"Of course it is, don’t you remember when you ate a few pieces of regular demon beast meat and weren’t hungry for a day?"

Liu Rushi chimed in as well.

"Oh, right, I forgot. Then I won’t eat it; not worth the loss of not eating so many delicious things for a single piece of meat! Hmph! Stupid demon beast meat!"

Su Yun seemed to recall, vigorously shaking her head.

From a greedy cat earlier, she now looked disdainful.

"Hahaha~~~" Chen Xuan burst into laughter, amused by her cute demeanor.

The lunch was delightful for Chen Xuan, happy because Pei Yuenan has completely shed her Pei Family identity, now a member of the Chen Family, his wife.

Pei Yuenan was happy too, feeling Chen Xuan’s acceptance and love.

How did the meat taste? Didn’t she know?

Yet, Chen Xuan continued eating and praised her.

It made her heart warm.

Su Wanqiu was even happier, grateful for Pei Yuenan’s change.

Today, when Pei Yuenan approached her, expressing the wish to personally cook a dish for Chen Xuan and asking for guidance, she was genuinely surprised.

But more than that, satisfied.

Her expectations weren’t high: food, clothing, family togetherness, living harmoniously—just simple things.
