Ch 470: Senior Brother, Is It Comfortable Being A Woman?
A comforting warmth filled the room.
Honeycomb briquettes were burning in the stove.
After Zhou Qianlin secured the distributor qualification, he returned to White Cloud City and immediately installed stoves and burned honeycomb briquettes throughout Longevity Temple.
After Li Changshou arrived in the room, he placed various fruits and pastries before Li Hanzhou, then went out to instruct a disciple to find Zhou Qianlin at Qingfeng Tavern, informing him that Martial Uncle had returned and asking him to have some meat skewers prepared and brought back.
Watching his senior brother bustling about excitedly, Li Hanzhou hesitated to speak, worried about disrupting his senior brother’s mood.
Yun Qianzhu, standing beside them, sighed and said, “Master is truly virtuous.”
“Whoever marries Master in the future will be incredibly lucky.”
Shi Ming nodded in agreement, having not seen Master so happy in a long time.
“Go, go, go, you two, stop causing trouble here. Get back to what you were doing…”
Li Changshou chased the two away with a dark expression. What were they doing acting like lightbulbs here? Weren’t they obstructive?
“Okay, okay, we’re going.” Yun Qianzhu smiled, grabbed a handful of seeds, and left with Shi Ming. Shi Ming was dumbfounded; he had been looking forward to having some skewers with his Martial Uncle.
Once the room was quiet, Li Hanzhou pondered for a moment before speaking.
“Senior brother, since you became a woman, how have you felt… or rather, have you found these days as a woman comfortable?”
Li Changshou turned around in surprise, asking, “Junior brother, are you serious about that question?”
Li Hanzhou nodded seriously.
Now that only the two of them remained in the room, Li Hanzhou hoped Li Changshou would honestly express his feelings about the current situation.
Upon hearing this, Li Changshou fell into thought.
To be honest, after becoming a woman, he initially found it novel, encountering various difficulties, but over time, his curiosity faded, and he gradually adapted.
His junior brother’s question was exceedingly pointed, making him hesitant to answer. However, seeing his junior brother’s curious and determined gaze, Li Changshou still spoke the truth.
“Junior brother, although I worked at Hundred Flowers Residence for several years, I haven’t tried it, so I don’t know if it’s comfortable or not.”
“Ah ha?”
A large question mark appeared above Li Hanzhou’s head.
Seeing his senior brother’s coy demeanor, Li Hanzhou realized his senior brother had misinterpreted.
“Senior brother, that’s not what I meant. I meant the Yin-Yang Fish is now in my hand, senior brother can change back into a man anytime. I want to ask if senior brother wants to change back into a man?”
“Ah? Junior brother, why didn’t you say so earlier!”
Upon hearing this, Li Changshou immediately understood, his delicate face flushing crimson, and she let out a reproachful exclamation, her expression full of charm.
Seeing this, Li Hanzhou subtly moved backward, muttering to himself that his senior brother seemed even more charming than Xuan Hu.
If his senior brother changed back into a man, he might become effeminate.
“Junior brother, actually I…”
Li Changshou pondered for a moment, intending to speak.
However, halfway through his sentence, with a creak, the room’s door was suddenly pushed open, followed by a very anxious voice.
“No, absolutely not!”
The calico cat dashed in from outside, its body a blur, leaping high and landing precisely on Li Changshou’s leg.
“Li Changshou is my beloved disciple, how could you ruin him? He’s a once-in-a-millennium genius perfectly suited for the Return to Reflection Art, if you let him become a man again, you’ll be cutting short his cultivation path!”
The calico cat said with a resistant expression.
He hadn’t expected that after a short nap, intending to check on his disciple’s progress with the Return to Reflection Art, he’d overhear such a conversation.
Thankfully he had heard it, otherwise, what if Li Changshou had agreed?
Although he initially had Li Changshou cultivate the Return to Reflection Art to help him take revenge, he also greatly valued Li Changshou’s physique.
In the Immortal Realm, almost no one could cultivate the Return to Reflection Art to its peak, yet it was effortless for his disciple—how proud a thing that was.
He absolutely couldn’t let Li Hanzhou ruin his disciple’s bright future.
“Alright, Master.”
Li Changshou covered the calico cat’s mouth, preventing its struggle, then looked at Li Hanzhou and said, “Junior brother, you should use the Yin-Yang Fish to save the Divine Palace.”
Their Longevity Temple had stood within the Divine Palace for generations, rooted in this land in White Cloud City, like a great tree, long integrated into this place.
If the Divine Palace’s natural disaster wasn’t resolved, he couldn’t live here peacefully, and Li Changshou couldn’t bear to see so many innocent commoners in the Divine Palace continue to suffer.
Of course, more importantly, he was no longer a weakling; he could help his junior brother, contribute his strength, just like when they faced Emperor Yu Yang in the Dragon Court.
This was all due to his special Yin-Yang Dual Body, a result of cultivating the Return to Reflection Art.
If he changed back into a man, as the calico cat said, his cultivation would plummet, and if they encountered any further problems, he would no longer be able to help Li Hanzhou.
Li Changshou couldn’t allow such a thing to happen again.
“I understand, senior brother.”
As brothers who had been together for many years, Li Hanzhou immediately understood Li Changshou’s thoughts; some things didn’t need to be said.
“Hah! I was suffocating! Disciple, you almost committed patricide!”
As Li Changshou removed his hand, the calico cat grumbled, but inwardly, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Longevity Temple became livelier than ever with Li Hanzhou’s return.
The meal prepared today alone was incredibly lavish, with abundant meat and fish.
Upon hearing that his Martial Uncle had returned, Zhou Qianlin rushed from Qingfeng Tavern back to Longevity Temple, overjoyed to see his Martial Uncle.
However, when discussing Qingfeng Tavern’s business, a hint of worry clouded his brow.
“Martial Uncle, although Qingfeng Tavern’s business is much better than other shops, it’s still been significantly affected, with revenue down by almost thirty percent compared to before.”
Currently, although honeycomb briquettes, through his operation as a distributor, had enabled all commoners to enjoy coal freely, the Divine Palace’s environment hadn’t improved at all; it was constantly deteriorating.
Honeycomb briquettes were cheap, but they had become a daily necessity for the commoners, representing a significant expense.
Many commoners simply gave up on entertainment, such as dining out at restaurants.
This caused many restaurants’ businesses to plummet, some even closing down.
Qingfeng Tavern fared better, but it was also declining.
Qingfeng Tavern was the first business Zhou Qianlin took over, holding a special place in his heart.
He didn’t want to see Qingfeng Tavern decline, but he was helpless.
