Chapter 52
by“What are you talking about？” Hu Jiao’er’s face changed suddenly, and she forced a smile and said： “I don’t understand.”
He couldn’t have seen that she wasn’t her younger sister, could he？ Impossible. He clearly only had the ninth level of the Body Tempering Realm. How could the means she, a genuine True Yuan Realm powerhouse, used be seen through by him？ Moreover, she and her younger sister looked exactly the same. There was no difference in their voices or figures. Even the old people in the gang often got the identities of the two sisters wrong. How could he have such ability？
Yang Kai looked at her faintly and said with a light smile： “Does the girl mean that she is not willing to admit it？”
“Admit what？ I really don’t know what you’re talking about.” Hu Jiao’er made a final effort.
Yang Kai rubbed his forehead and said helplessly： “Then I’ll make it clear. Girl, you’re not Hu Mei’er. I think… you should be her twin sister.”
Hu Jiao’er was stunned for a moment, and then she giggled and said： “Why do you say that？”
This time, she didn’t forcefully deny it anymore. Instead, she looked at Yang Kai with great interest. She also wanted to know where exactly she had revealed her flaw. If Yang Kai couldn’t say anything substantial, then it was clearly just using words to bluff her.
Maybe he was just suspicious now and didn’t dare to be sure, so he would ask her to admit it. Hu Jiao’er guessed in her heart.
“Miss is testing my eyesight.” Yang Kai wasn’t angry either. He chuckled, turned around, walked to the table, picked up the teacup he had just used to drink tea, took a sip and said, “Actually, I’ve never been sure whether you are Hu Meier or not. But now I can be sure that you are not her！”
Hu Jiao’er’s expression froze, and she gritted her teeth in hatred. So the words just now were really a test! I’m so angry! I, a martial artist in the True Yuan Realm, actually fell into the trap of a gutter kid without paying attention. This is really capsizing in the gutter and losing all face.
There was no point in denying it anymore. Hu Jiao’er let out a charming laugh, sat sideways on the fragrant bed, her enchanting figure, her beautiful eyes sized up Yang Kai, and asked softly, “When did you start to suspect?”
“When I was drinking tea.” Yang Kai tapped the teacup in his hand. “Although the tea fragrance is pleasant, it couldn’t cover up the woman’s fragrance on the cup. Moreover, there is a faint lip print here on the rim of the cup. I think this teacup should have been used by someone not long ago. And that person is the real Miss Hu Meier.”
“Just based on this, you think I’m not Mei’er？” Hu Jiao’er was astonished.
“Of course not just this.” Yang Kai slowly shook his head. “The second thing that made me suspect was your temperament！ I don’t think that in just over ten days, a woman’s temperament can change drastically. To put it nicely, Miss Mei’er’s charm is a bit immature, while yours is natural.”
“I like to hear that.” Hu Jiao’er covered her mouth and chuckled. “Go on, is there more？”
“Third, the body fragrance on you and Miss Mei’er is very similar, but if you taste it carefully, there are differences. Her fragrance is sweet, and yours is slightly elegant.
“Brat！” Hu Jiao’er’s face turned pink. Yang Kai’s blatant words made it difficult for her to control herself. Remembering the sacrifice she made just to test him, Hu Jiao’er wished she could slap the man in front of her who was talking eloquently into a patty.”
“Fourth…” Yang Kai ignored Hu Jiao’er’s cannibalistic gaze and continued.”
“There’s more…” Hu Jiao’er was surprised. She never expected that this brat who was only a Quenching Body Realm martial artist could see so many flaws. She originally thought it was seamless.”
“Hehe, the fourth point is the injury on your foot, girl. That injury looks like a sprain, but in fact, it was caused by you using your true energy to injure it from the inside. This is the biggest flaw. Although Miss Mei’er is a girl, she is also a martial artist. How could she sprain her foot so easily?
“That was indeed my oversight.” Hu Jiao’er nodded gently. At that time, she only thought about how to make Yang Kai fall into the trap, but didn’t think so deeply.
Raising her head and seeing that Yang Kai was still in deep thought, Hu Jiao’er couldn’t help but say, “Don’t tell me you’ve seen through any more flaws.”
Hu Jiao’er was very unconvinced. Why was it that what she thought was perfect was full of flaws in his eyes？ And yet, his analysis was so logical that people couldn’t refute it.
This stinky brat is really annoying to look at！
If he dares to say there are any more flaws, this young mistress will definitely make him look good. He doesn’t know how to read people’s expressions at all.
“Then it’s better not to say.” Yang Kai furrowed his brows.
Hearing him say this, Hu Jiao’er was not happy. With a cold smile on her beautiful eyes and grinding her silver teeth, she said, “Say it！”
“It’s better not to say.” Yang Kai shook his head.
Hu Jiao ‘er said angrily, “I told you to say it, so you say it. How can you be so suspenseful like this?”
Yang Kai gave a wry smile: “I’m afraid that if I say it, it will make the girl angry.”
Hu Jiao’er narrowed her phoenix eyes： “Make me angry？ Then it must be something bad？”
“Yes.”
“Then I must listen.”
“But you have to promise not to get angry.”
“You haven’t even said it yet, how do I know if I’ll get angry or not？”
“Then forget it.”
“Don’t you know that when having a dispute with a woman, you should give in a step？” Hu Jiao’er hated inwardly. This brat looked shrewd, but was actually a greenhorn and didn’t understand amorous feelings at all.
“If I give in a step, I will be injured. I think… I can’t beat you.” Yang Kai’s expression was serious.
“You’re still a bit sensible！” Hu Jiao’er smiled complacently. Her body rolled up a gust of wind and she strolled from the fragrant bed to the table. She sat down with fluttering clothes and looked at Yang Kai charmingly. After pondering for a moment, she said, “Alright, I promise not to get angry.”
“Also promise not to hit me.”
“Fine！” Hu Jiao’er gritted her teeth and replied, “Tell me, what is this last flaw？”
Yang Kai said seriously, “Actually, it’s not really a flaw. It’s just that you, girl, don’t look the same as Sister Mei’er.”
“Where am I different？” Hu Jiao’er wondered. She and her younger sister were completely cut from the same mold. How could there be any difference？
Yang Kai smacked his lips and hesitated for a long time before whispering, “Your buttocks, one side is big and the other side is small！ Not as well-proportioned as Sister Mei’er’s！”
As soon as these words were spoken, Hu Jiao’er’s face instantly turned red and the Yuan Qi of the True Yuan Realm burst out ferociously. The wind howled in the room immediately.
“Remember your promise just now！” Yang Kai’s expression didn’t change and his heart didn’t beat faster. He calmly reminded.
Hu Jiao’er’s astonishing momentum suddenly shriveled up. She was so angry that her whole body trembled, but she couldn’t attack. She almost gritted her silver teeth to pieces. After a long while, she angrily slapped the table and angrily shouted： “Bullshit！”
A girl even burst out such swear words, which shows how angry Hu Jiao’er is.
This stinky brat who deserves to be cut into a thousand pieces actually evaluated that her buttocks are one big and one small. Is this what a man should say？ Where is she one big and one small？ It is clearly very symmetrical, okay？
Stinky brat, I’m afraid you don’t know how to write the word death, right？
Chapter Fifty-Eight Solicitation and Threat
Knowing that Hu Jiao’er was angry and ashamed, Yang Kai quickly opened his mouth to comfort her and said： “The girl doesn’t need to care. In fact, if you don’t look carefully, you can’t see this at all.”
Hu Jiao’er’s face turned cold, and she looked at Yang Kai murderously： “That is to say, you just looked carefully？”
Yang Kai couldn’t help but cough a few times and said a little embarrassedly： “I did look a few more times.”
Can’t blame me！ You yourself stuck your buttocks towards me. Could I pretend not to see it？ Yang Kai also felt quite wronged in his heart.
“With these doubts, if I couldn’t tell that the girl and Hu Mei’er are two people, then I would have wasted a pair of eyes for nothing.” Yang Kai said with a faint smile.
After Hu Jiao’er’s anger passed, when she thought about it carefully, she couldn’t help but be a little shocked.
She discovered that this man named Yang Kai had unparalleled powers of observation. From entering the room to exposing her, it was only half a cup of tea’s worth of time, yet he was able to spot so many doubts. Such an ability wasn’t something everyone possessed. Moreover, just now when she had personally made a move to tempt him, she actually failed. This person’s willpower and character were also quite good. He wouldn’t be moved by beauty and was a man with a firm and resolute disposition.
A talent！ Although he was young and his strength was weak, it couldn’t be denied that he was truly a talent.
Thinking of this, Hu Jiao’er rolled her eyes and threw a flirtatious glance at Yang Kai, saying, “Yang Kai, right？ In view of the fact that you just offended me, this young lady is now giving you two choices.”
“What choices？” Yang Kai asked.
“The first choice is that which hand touched me, that hand will be chopped off, and which eye looked at me, that eye will be gouged out. In this way, I will forgive your offense just now.” When Hu Jiao’er said these words, she had been smiling all the time, and her tone was gentle, as if a wife was whispering to her husband. However, between the lines, there was a ruthless and bloody cruelty that was inhumane.
Yang Kai shook his head： “I’ll listen to the second choice.”
“Smart.” Hu Jiao’er smiled. “The second option is to leave Lingxiao Pavilion and join my Blood Battle Gang. I will report to my father and ask him to give you the position of a small team leader. As far as I know, you are just the lowest-level trial disciple in Lingxiao Pavilion, being bullied and having no good cultivation resources. But if you come to the Blood Battle Gang, the treatment will be a hundred times better than that in Lingxiao Pavilion. How about it? The conditions I offer are quite generous, right?”
“Is there any other option？”
“No！”
“Then I choose neither.” Yang Kai secretly circulated the True Yang Secret Art and looked at Hu Jiao’er vigilantly.
“Do you want to force me to take action？” Hu Jiao’er sneered again and again.
“I think the girl won’t really take action. This is not the Blood Battle Gang. Once there is the slightest trace of a battle spreading out, the guarding disciples of Lingxiao Pavilion will also come to investigate. At that time, the girl will also be in trouble.”
“A mere trial disciple, I can kill him if I want. What can Lingxiao Pavilion do to me？ At most, I will compensate with some things. Presumably, they won’t care about your life or death！”
“If the girl really wants to kill me, she won’t talk so much nonsense with me.” Yang Kai looked calm and composed, but in fact, he was also nervous. After all, a woman’s heart is like a needle in the sea. Who knows what she is really thinking.
He now regretted telling the truth just now. Women’s words really can’t be believed, especially beautiful women. His experience is still too little.
“And as I just said, I used my most precious Blood Coagulation and Bruise-Removing Ointment to treat your injuries. You should stop fussing over my offense.” Yang Kai attempted to reason with her and move her with emotion.
“Can a bottle of Blood Coagulation and Bruise-Removing Ointment compensate for my losses？ You actually…” Hu Jiao’er was furious. She originally wanted to say that you hugged and touched me, but she couldn’t say it out loud. Her losses were huge. How could they be made up for by just a bottle of external injury medicine？
“If you want to say it like this, I have no choice. Actually, you also know what happened just now. It was you who took the initiative.”
These words were like adding fuel to the fire. Hu Jiao’er was both ashamed and angry. Just as she was about to take action, she turned her head and looked at the position where Hu Mei’er was imprisoned. Seeing her shouting anxiously inside, her heart softened. Her anger gradually dissipated, and she took a deep breath and said, “Forget it. I won’t bother with you this time.”
Yang Kai couldn’t help but let out a long sigh of relief： “Thank you for your magnanimity, miss.”
Hu Jiao’er chuckled softly： “Actually, everything you just said was right, except for one thing.”
“Which thing？” Yang Kai asked.
Hu Jiao’er didn’t answer immediately. Instead, she waved her hand, and the imprisoned Hu Mei’er gradually became visible. Yang Kai was shocked. Although he knew that this woman had high strength, he didn’t expect her strength to be so profound. With a wave of her hand, a person quietly appeared. Clearly, only a master above the True Yuan Realm could do this.
Hu Mei’er regained her freedom. With a relieved expression on her face, she cast a glance at Yang Kai. She had been really nervous just now, fearing that her elder sister would kill Yang Kai out of anger.
Looking at her elder sister again, Hu Mei’er couldn’t help but giggle. She recalled what Yang Kai had said just now.
Good heavens, there was actually a man in this world who dared to say such things to her elder sister, and yet remained unharmed after that.
“Sister！” As soon as Hu Mei’er came out, she pounced beside Hu Jiao’er and said coquettishly, “Don’t be angry anymore. This matter can’t be blamed on him.”
“I didn’t say I was blaming him！” Hu Jiao’er was still a bit indignant. She turned her head and looked at Yang Kai, saying, “When I said you were wrong about one thing, it’s that Mei’er and I are not twins.”
“Not twins？” Yang Kai was astonished.
Looking carefully, the two women in front of him were truly identical, without any difference. If he met them again next time and was asked to identify them, he would definitely not be able to tell who was who.
“No, I’m a few years older than Mei’er.” Hu Jiao’er smiled slightly. Seeing Yang Kai’s surprised look, she couldn’t help but feel a little more balanced in her heart.
“Sure enough, in the vast world, there are all kinds of strange things.” Yang Kai sighed. Although they were sisters, they could look so alike even though they were born a few years apart. Probably this was unique under the heaven.
“You don’t know me？” Hu Jiao’er was slightlyfeel uncertain. She was at least a top expert in the younger generation of the Blood Battle Gang and had a great reputation. How could this person not know？
“Don’t know.” Yang Kai shook his head, looking very ignorant.
Seeing that he didn’t seem to be lying, Hu Jiao’er could only believe it. Naturally, she didn’t know about Yang Kai’s experiences in these years. He had almost been isolated from the world and never communicated with others.
“Do you have something to do with me today？” Hu Mei’er turned her head and looked at Yang Kai.
Yang Kai told her the purpose of this trip. Hu Mei’er looked at her sister with a questioning expression on her face. The latter waved her hand and said, “Go ahead, but don’t make trouble in the mining area.”
“Thank you.” Yang Kai couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.
“Let’s go. I’ll take you there. The mining area is not far from here.” Hu Mei’er seemed to be in a good mood. Her face was shining with brilliance and she took the lead to lead the way.
After Yang Kai and Hu Mei’er left, Hu Jiao’er slowly got up. She stroked her plump buttocks with her two jade hands kneading and comparing them for a while, and muttered to herself, “Where is one side big and the other side small? They are clearly the same! This stinky brat is talking nonsense. How damn!
Chapter Fifty-Nine The Mining Area
Leaving the noisy Black Wind Trading City, under the leadership of Hu Mei’er, the two walked towards the north of the Black Wind Forest together. Hu Mei’er seemed a little happy. Her charming eyes were full of joy and her face was blush.
“I’m sorry about what happened that day！” Yang Kai suddenly spoke up to apologize. What he said that day was indeed a bit excessive. Now that he was asking for help again, he felt a bit two-faced.
Hu Mei’er pursed her lips and smiled： “It doesn’t matter. You didn’t scold me either. In these years, I’ve heard worse things, and I still managed to survive, didn’t I？”
“Don’t you hate me？” Yang Kai was surprised.
“Why would I hate you？” Hu Mei’er smiled, and then suddenly said： “Actually, I originally hated you quite a bit, but… one of your actions made me unable to hate you anymore.”
“What action？”
“Hehe, when Cheng Shaofeng and Nu Tao suddenly appeared that day, you blocked in front of me. Perhaps it was an unconscious action of yours, but it was the only time in these years that someone truly and wholeheartedly wanted to protect me.”
“I don’t remember. But you’ve had it tough too.” Yang Kai sighed with emotion. A good young girl actually voluntarily damaged her own reputation just to help the Blood Battle Gang recruit more talents. Although her intentions were not good, there was also a bit of filial piety in it.
“Giggle…” Hu Mei’er giggled charmingly： “It’s not that tough. Don’t you know that playing along is a woman’s instinct？”
“Hehe, I haven’t had much contact with women.”
“Really？” Hu Mei’er’s eyes lit up.
“Well, so these days, I’ve been taken advantage of by you two sisters.” Yang Kai said seriously.
Hu Mei’er gave him a coquettish glare: “You’re so bad for saying that!” Youdaoplaceholder0, my sister isn’t here. If she were, she would definitely hit you!
“Your sister…”
“True Yuan Realm, First Layer！” Hu Mei’er replied proudly.
“Impressive！” Yang Kai praised.
Su Yan is at the third level of the True Yuan Realm. Hu Mei’er’s elder sister is a little worse than Su Yan, but not by much.
When Hu Mei’er talked about her elder sister, she remembered the words Yang Kai said again. For a while, she was laughing so hard that she was bent over and her body was shaking like a flower branch, and she couldn’t close her mouth.
Yang Kai was speechless and could only stand there and wait for her to catch her breath.
After laughing for a long time, Hu Mei’er gradually caught her breath and said with a smile on her face： “I find that you are so bold. No man has ever dared to say that to my elder sister. Is her… really one side big and the other side small？”
“Maybe it’s because of the clothes she wears. You can tell her not to worry about it later.” Yang Kai chuckled.
“Then what about mine？ Is it really very symmetrical？” Hu Mei’er asked boldly with a shy face.
“Not only symmetrical, but also round and firm and warped.” Yang Kai nodded. “You have a very good figure. You don’t need to be self-abased in this regard.”
Hu Mei’er suddenly felt a little overwhelmed. This straightforward praise without any purpose was probably the nicest thing she had heard in recent years.
For a while, there was actually a hint of joy in her heart.
“How long until we arrive？” Yang Kai didn’t really want to delve into this topic any further and asked.
“There is still an hour to go. Although that place is also considered part of the Black Wind Forest, it is already in the very center of the Black Wind Forest.” Hu Mei’er explained. “There is an underground vein there, which was discovered by our Blood Battle Gang a few years ago. So we sent people to station there and mine it. The things produced there are very strange.”
“How strange is it？” Yang Kai asked.
“There are only two kinds of stones with attributes there. One is the Yang Flame Stone you bought, and the other is the Yin Yuan Stone. Isn’t it strange? These two kinds of stones with attributes are mutually exclusive and have completely opposite attributes, but they can be generated together in that vein. I don’t know what’s going on.”
“This is really strange.” Yang Kai was slightly moved.
The Yang Flame Stone contains Yang energy, while the Yin Yuan Stone contains Yin energy. They are opposite in attributes. Generally, they can never be born together.
“The experts in the gang also feel that there is something wrong with that mining area, but after several years of investigation and mining, there is no special discovery. Instead, our gang has made a lot of money because of this mining area.” Hu Mei’er didn’t seem to treat Yang Kai as an outsider and said whatever was on her mind.
“This is the good fortune of your Blood Battle Gang！” Yang Kai smiled slightly.
Hu Mei’er nodded and suddenly fell silent. After walking for a long time, she said, “Actually, today is also a coincidence. If you miss today, you may not be able to find me. Isn’t this also your good fortune?”
“Where are you going？” Yang Kai heard the implication in her words.
“Not going anywhere.” Hu Mei’er shook her head, explaining while secretly observing Yang Kai’s expression. “After being lectured by you last time, I suddenly felt that my actions in recent years were wrong. The talents attracted by those despicable means don’t care about the Blood Battle Gang, but about me！ Since I can’t give them what they want, they naturally won’t truly work for the gang. So, I decided to go into secluded cultivation. When I become stronger myself, I can also share my father’s concerns, just like my sister！”
“It’s a good thing that you can think like this.” Yang Kai nodded.
Hu Mei’er’s expression couldn’t help but be a little disappointed. She found that Yang Kai’s expression had been very calm from beginning to end and didn’t have any emotional fluctuations because of her words.
Slightly bitter, Hu Mei’er also lost the interest in talking and just led the way sullenly in front.
Since she didn’t speak, Yang Kai naturally wouldn’t look for something to say. It was only after walking for more than an hour that the two of them came to the Blood Battle Gang’s mining area.
This is the central position of the Black Wind Forest. The area in front of them covering more than ten miles is the mining area demarcated by the Blood Battle Gang. There are some houses built on the ground for the disciples to live and rest.
Because the vein is underground, when Yang Kai and Hu Mei’er came here, they didn’t see how lively the mining area was. There were just big holes on the ground, leading directly underground.
Nearly a hundred zhang away, Yang Kai felt the Yang Source Seal on his chest reacting strongly. That was the reaction brought about by the Yang Flame Stones underground. With the increase in his strength, the range within which the Yang Source Seal could sense Yang Qi had also increased slightly, but not by much.
The arrival of the two attracted the attention of the Blood Battle Gang disciples on the ground. An old man suddenly descended from the sky and blocked Yang Kai and Hu Mei’er’s sight, cupping his fists and saying, “Miss！”
“Grandpa Long.” Hu Mei’er called out affectionately and pulled Yang Kai to introduce him： “This is our gang’s vice gang leader, Grandpa Long Zaitian.”
Yang Kai quickly saluted： “Greetings, Senior Long.”
Long Zaitian looked at Yang Kai contemptuously and didn’t bother to answer. With his strength at the Divine Movement Realm and the lofty status of the vice gang leader of the Blood Battle Gang, why should he bother with a small fry like Yang Kai？
Another gigolo who lives off a woman！ Long Zaitian especially looked down on people like Yang Kai. If it weren’t for Hu Mei’er’s face, he would have slapped Yang Kai to death directly.
“Miss, what are you doing here in the mining area？” Long Zaitian stroked his white beard and asked kindly, “This place is dirty and hot. It’s not a place for you to come. Hurry back, otherwise your father will scold me when he finds out.”
“No, Daddy wouldn’t dare to scold you. You are a three-generation veteran of the gang. Daddy will only respect you.” Hu Mei’er used her coquettish tactics, and Long Zaitian immediately had a look of enjoyment on his face.
“Grandpa Long, this friend of mine wants to come to the mining area to buy something from a few disciples. Can you do us a favor and let us in？” Hu Mei’er stated her intention.
