Chapter 394: Incest and Other Family Drama

Abruptly, Wu Fanyun coughed up blood. He put a hand to his mouth to catch most of it, but some splattered over Gui Yutongs robes. Eyes wide, he began to climb off the stone bed to clean her robes.

Hui grabbed him by the shoulders and forced him back down. Who just coughed up blood due to aggravating their internal injuries? Good patients should lie there quietly and wait to heal!

But but Gui Yutongs robes Wu Fanyun said, visibly fighting down another bout of coughing.

Hui glared at him. If youre going to try to refuse my healing, at least dont go out of your way to reinjure yourself. Lie there quietly! Be a good patient!

The lotus beast hopped over and stood at the other side of Wu Fanyuns bed, reaching out to also hold him down.

Gui Yutong smiled at Wu Fanyun. Rest up, little brother. My robes are the least of our worries. Please, focus on your own health first.

If if sister says so, Wu Fanyun muttered. Immediately, he stopped struggling. He cast his eyes aside, and a blush spread over his face, more obvious for how pale his cheeks were.

Dammit, can you quit this disgusting incest drama? Hui complained. He shook his head. Even in my first life, I avoided incest works, so how come I cant dodge this one now?

Ah, come to think of it, didnt Bai Xue and Bai Jingwens drama qualify as incest drama? True, they were second cousins or something, and its more reasonable in the eyes of this world but dammit! Why? Has the god of incest cursed me?

Gui Yutong glanced at Hui. Senior Xie Hao, would it be possible for me to borrow one of your rooms for a short time?

Naturally, naturally. Hui experimentally released Wu Fanyun. When the man didnt jump up, he nodded at the small lotus beast and left.

The lotus beast clacked its teeth and moved over to the door. Wu Fanyun propped himself half up, staring after Gui Yutong. It ignored him, staring into infinity instead. He bit his lip, then slid a leg over the edge. After all, leaving Sister with a strange man

The lotus beast clacked its teeth again, the sound sharper in the empty room. Its black seed eyes locked onto Wu Fanyuns leg.

Wu Fanyun retracted his leg and swallowed. Id best rest up, so I can watch over Sister again!

The lotus beast relaxed again.

Around the corner and out of sight from Wu Fanyun, Gui Yutong sighed. She pulled her robes out from her body to better inspect the bloodstains, only to sigh again. These were my favorite robes

Does Elder Sister not know the robe-cleaning technique? Hui asked.

Gui Yutong shook her head. I was told to only focus on battle techniques, and not waste my time on such rubbish. Could it be, does Senior Xie Hao know the technique?

Yes, yes, of course, Hui said, nodding. He reached out his hand and put it on Gui Yutongs shoulder.

Uh, hold up. Did we ever learn the technique properly? Rogue questioned, a hand on his chin.

Too late. Hui activated the technique. Qi burst out of his hand and circulated over Gui Yutongs body. Her robes fluttered, and a warm power flowed over her skin. Surprised, she let out a little cry.

In the next moment, her robes burst into shreds. She stood there completely naked, bits of robes drifting down all around her. Confused, she blinked, then held up her hands. A few scraps of cloth drifted down, settling into her palms.

I think we did, but Healer certainly didnt use the right one, Sectgoer laughed.

Uh, er, this, this never happens, it must be, because Im so tired, my hand slipped, I didnt intentionallyI would never, not to Elder Sister please forgive me! Hui stammered, whirling away and cowering down, arms thrown over his head.

Peak Lord snorted. Time to learn that what did Master call it? The hand-dexterity-improving robe-un-shredding technique?

Of course, of course. She smiled back, but the smile seemed a bit different this time.

Hui led her to the guest chambers. An empty white room with a stone bed awaited them. The only difference between the patients rooms and the guest chambers was who slept in them at the time. Well, I didnt want to waste money on pointless decorations, and besides, I have to keep this space clean if Im going to treat people in it. Plain white makes it all easier.

Gui Yutong glanced around the chamber, her brows furrowed and lip twisted in slight confusion. After a moment, she forced herself to smile. Ah, thank you.

Youre welcome, youre welcome, Hui replied. Dont give me that. Youre staying here for free, for free! Can you really complain about the accommodations, huh?

He pointed at the wall. If you tap this panel, a barrier formation will activate. Its a good way to keep out unwanted guests. Like your brother.

Gui Yutong nodded. I understand. Then, good night. She shut the door in Huis face.

Hui rolled his eyes. Flirty one second, then cold the next. Is she that pissed off that I didnt want to sleep with her?

Eh, well, I mean it could be her pride. Perhaps she took it as her not being attractive enough for us, Peak Lord suggested.

Hardly! Were the ones who arent good enough for her, Healer replied, shaking his head.

That might be, but she clearly doesnt see it that way. Dont worry. Im on my way to fix it, Rogue replied.

Hui sighed and turned away. Rogue has got to be the messiest of all the clones, our heart-demon-infected Sectgoer included.

Hey! What does that mean?

Tired, Hui strode the halls of his complex. Four halls extended out from a central hub, all white, all identical to one another. The patients wing, the guest wing, his wing, and a storage space. Several of their larger treasures sat in the storage space, though most of the day-to-day use treasures were sent back to the storage ring, which First held on to. In this rare moment of quiet, Hui strode to the central hub, then took a turn, leaving the building to enter the courtyard.

The courtyard stretched from the building to the back wall, a huge yard enclosed by a white wall. A willow tree drooped long boughs into the water, which was absolutely choked with lotuses. A few lotus beasts cavorted around the water and the lakeside, giggling and chasing one another. Hui sat down on a stone bench to watch them, his eyes gazing into infinity.

Were so close, but with every step we take, it seems we also lose something. Another clone. Another piece of ourselves.

When this is all done, what will be left of Hui?

Im merely a clone. We all are, except for First. And First First gives up himself to create us. With every new clone born, more of First is whittled away. More of Hui is diluted. And when we die, as weve been dying, wholly and absolutely, that piece of Hui is lost forever.

Even if we manage to win this, who will be said to have won? Hui? Or

He sighed, closing his eyes. Im tired. I should rest, not sit here and think gloomy thoughts. He gathered his robes and began to rise.

A streak of pure white shot through the sky. Something splashed down in his pond. All the lotus beasts stopped and stared, their black seed eyes wide, mouths gaping to show their black teeth.

Hui jumped to his feet, instantly on guard. He threw his hand out, summoning Moonlight Cutter. Who are you? Show yourself! A guard? A member of the Gui family, come to fetch Gui Yutong? A piece of that Immortal who sensed what I did to his energy and came to finish the job?

He glanced down, then inched to the right. Lets not play dead in the mud at the lakeshore. Over here, on the stone path yes, thats better.

A pale body uncurled from the center of the lake, almost blossoming as it stood. Black eyes turned to Hui, set in a familiar face. A single braid swayed down the back of an exquisite body, so excessively perfect that it almost hurt to look at, all pure whites and palest pinks, tinged at the very tips with a faint green. A near-transparent lotus petal robe wrapped her body, only concealing enough to make her yet more tempting.

Hui swallowed. Welcome back, Elder Sister.

Fifth-realm aura rippling the surface of the lake, her bare foot hovering a hairs breadth over the waters surface, Bai Jingwen smiled back at him.
