After Breaking Off the Engagement, I Started Pursuing My Master-Chapter 42 - Can only play with Qingyus
Chapter 42: Can only play with Qingyu’s
In Luo Qingyu’s room.
The girl had shed her dress and was lying obediently on the bed, covered with a blanket. Jiang Huai was keeping her company, chatting, as she whispered,
“The undergarments Jiang Huai brother made for me last time seem a bit small now.”
“Then tonight, I’ll leave the measuring tape with you. Measure yourself properly tomorrow and tell me the size, and I’ll make you a new one.”
“Measure myself… that’s so troublesome. Can’t Jiang Huai brother do it for me?”
“No.”
“Jiang Huai brother is so stingy.”
“That’s how stingy I am,” Jiang Huai said, looking at the slyness in the girl’s eyes.
The little clingy spirit tempted him to make mistakes every day. If it weren’t for the years of being accustomed to Chu Xianning’s cool demeanor, he doubted he could have resisted those watery eyes for long.
Luo Qingyu’s blanket wasn’t fully covering her; her upper body still revealed shoulders and a glimpse of delicate collarbone. Jiang Huai took out the measuring tape and left it by the bed.
“Rest well tonight, get up early tomorrow.”
“Mhm,” Luo Qingyu nodded obediently, watching Jiang Huai stand up and leave the room.
Only then did she slowly lift the blanket, picking up the measuring tape Jiang Huai left behind, and began to carefully measure herself.
But gradually, her mind conjured up some blush-inducing images. She recalled the erotic albums hidden in Jiang Huai’s cabinet, where girls with figures like hers were bound with ropes, their breasts and legs marked with red lines, deliberately posed in embarrassing positions. Luo Qingyu’s cheeks grew hot, and she bit her fingertip lightly to bring some clarity to her fantasies.
…….
Wen Wanwan carried the food box back to her courtyard.
She couldn’t explain it, but she felt dazed all the way, her nose inexplicably sore and her shoulders trembling uncontrollably.
But Luo Qingyu hadn’t really said anything harsh to her, just softly informed her that she and Jiang Huai Senior Brother would be re-engaged soon, and even mentioned sending her an invitation. Logically, she should silently wish them well. Yet, when she arrived at her courtyard and set down the food box, she realized her eyes were filled with tears.
Wen Wanwan suddenly felt breathless. She tried to wipe away the tears with a handkerchief, returning to her room to wait for her reddened eyes to recover a bit before taking the food box to her sister’s room.
Wen Wanwan’s sister, Wen Fufu, was born at the same time as her. However, since Wen Wanwan was born slightly earlier, she became the elder sister. Wen Fufu always stayed by Wen Wanwan’s side. Due to her frail health, she spent almost all her days on the bed and rarely left the courtyard. The sisters looked so alike they could have been carved from the same mold. It was only Wen Wanwan’s consistently aloof demeanor that kept much trouble at bay, and she dared not let Wen Fufu wander around the sect to avoid any problems.
The girl on the sickbed was dressed in white gauze, her features as delicate as her sister’s, but without the same coldness. Her skin was slightly pale, yet her eyes were exceptionally gentle. Upon seeing her sister return, Wen Fufu’s eyes lit up, and she softly called out,
“Sister.”
Wen Fufu sat up in bed as Wen Wanwan opened the food box, which contained meals carefully selected by Jiang Huai as soon as they were ready. The food box had a warming function, and upon opening it, a delicious aroma filled the air.
“Is it Senior Brother Jiang Huai’s cooking again?” Wen Fufu’s eyes sparkled.
“Mhm,” Wen Wanwan nodded lightly, her own gaze somewhat distant. She set the food box in front of Wen Fufu, who carefully picked up her chopsticks and gently tasted a piece of tender stewed rib, unable to hide the joy in her eyes.
While eating, she asked in a muffled voice, “How are things progressing between you and Senior Brother Jiang Huai?”

Wen Wanwan was taken aback and shook her head slightly, “Senior Brother Jiang Huai just treats me as a Junior Sister, not the way you think.”
“That’s not true! You’re lying, sister. Every time you talk about Senior Brother Jiang Huai, your eyes sparkle, just like, just like what’s described in the plays about a young girl in love,” Wen Fufu giggled, but Wen Wanwan simply shook her head.
“That’s not the case, don’t guess wildly.”
“Then why is Senior Brother Jiang Huai so nice to you? Isn’t it because he’s smitten with your beauty? I don’t believe there’s a man in this world who wouldn’t be captivated by your beauty.”
“Senior Brother Jiang Huai is kind-hearted and generous by nature; he treats everyone this way, don’t overthink it,” Wen Wanwan’s hand clenched her skirt, but she felt as if these words were meant as much for her sister as they were for herself.
“What about you, sister? How do you feel about Senior Brother Jiang Huai?”
Wen Fufu asked softly after tasting another bite of braised eggplant from the food box.
“Senior Brother Jiang Huai is exceptionally talented. He’s not from the same world as I am. Some things… it’s better not to think too much about them.”
“What are you saying, sister? If Senior Brother Jiang Huai’s cultivation talent is rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns, then your beauty is one in ten thousand. Why can’t you think more about it?” Wen Fufu’s cheeks were puffed up as she spoke.
“Senior Brother Jiang Huai’s intended partner is also very beautiful.”
“So what? The men in the plays always want what’s in the pot while eating from the bowl. Besides, there are rumors now that they’ve broken off their engagement. Senior Brother Jiang Huai is no longer constrained. If you really like Senior Brother Jiang Huai, sister, just be a bit more proactive. With your beauty, I don’t believe Senior Brother Jiang Huai could resist.”
Wen Wanwan didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, shaking her head gently, “You should just eat your meal quietly and not worry about these things.”
“But sister, you seem troubled,” Wen Fufu said as she picked up a shrimp with her chopsticks and brought it to Wen Wanwan’s lips.
Wen Wanwan hesitated, then lowered her head and gently bit into the shrimp, looking at her sister’s concerned eyes, she laughed helplessly and shook her head, “Not at all.”
She reached out and gently ruffled her sister’s hair, “Alright, eat slowly. After you finish, I’ll help you bathe.”
After speaking, she stood up.
Wen Fufu, lying on the bed, softly asked, “Where are you going, sister?”
“I’m going to practice my swordsmanship,” Wen Wanwan replied softly.
Perhaps practicing with the sword would clear her mind.
…….
The next day.
The distance between Qingxuan Sect and Tianxuan Sect was not very far. For someone with Chu Xianning’s cultivation level, if flying on a sword, it would take only half an hour. However, Jiang Huai was currently unable to fly with his sword, and Luo Qingyu’s spiritual energy certainly couldn’t support such a distance, so Jiang Huai had to activate a spiritual boat.
He didn’t own a spiritual boat, which was generally something only cultivators above the sixth realm could afford. In reality, once a cultivator reached the sixth realm, their speed on a sword wasn’t much slower than a spiritual boat. The spiritual boat was ultimately just for convenience, as traveling long distances solely by sword could be quite boring.
Chu Xianning had her own spiritual boat, which Jiang Huai borrowed. The core of the spiritual boat was the array on it, powered by spirit stones. Fortunately, Jiang Huai had plenty of them, enough for a round trip to Qingxuan Sect.
The next morning, Luo Qingyu dressed in a dark purple skirt with black high heels, revealing a section of her snow-white legs, sat at the dining table after eating the noodles prepared by Jiang Huai, looking forward to their departure with anticipation.
Jiang Huai summoned Chu Xianning’s spiritual boat, and the two stepped aboard. Before leaving, Jiang Huai whispered to Chu Xianning, “We’ll return within seven days.”
Chu Xianning nodded slightly, giving him a faint glance before withdrawing her gaze.
……
Chu Xianning’s spiritual boat was not large, not as grand and imposing as Luo Yueguan’s, but it was charmingly small and exquisite, with just two rooms, perfect for Jiang Huai and Luo Qingyu, one for each.
Spending more spirit stones could significantly increase its velocity if you want to travel at maximum speed. However, Luo Qingyu clearly didn’t want to return so quickly, so Jiang Huai maintained the boat at its slowest speed. They sat on the deck, watching the leisurely clouds and playing Go, although Jiang Huai’s mind wasn’t really on the game.
At some point, Luo Qingyu had taken off her high heels and placed her delicate feet on Jiang Huai’s lap. Looking down, Jiang Huai saw the girl’s cute, pale feet and couldn’t help but reach out and gently touch them.
Back in the courtyard, with Chu Xianning around, Jiang Huai always felt a bit guilty whenever he touched Luo Qingyu’s feet. But now, with Chu Xianning absent, Jiang Huai felt much more at ease, playing with the girl’s feet for a long time until he inadvertently looked up and saw Luo Qingyu’s eyes filled with a spring-like warmth, her cheeks flushed with shyness.
“Brother Jiang Huai…” Luo Qingyu’s lips moved slightly.
“Hmm?”
“Aunt Chu isn’t here, so… can we play other games?”
Luo Qingyu’s toes fidgeted nervously. Jiang Huai instinctively wanted to cut off the little temptress’s thoughts, but what came out was,
“Play what?”
“Qingyu’s tongue is very flexible, and so is my bottom, round and round… Whatever Brother Jiang Huai wants to play with, Qingyu will be obedient.”
Jiang Huai pretended to raise his hand as if to knock on Luo Qingyu’s head. She immediately covered her head, looking at him with a wronged expression. In the end, Jiang Huai’s hand didn’t fall, and after a moment, he laughed helplessly.
“We’ll play those games after we get married, then it won’t matter.”
“Oh…” Luo Qingyu responded in a disappointed tone.
“Then will Brother Jiang Huai play these games with other women?”
“Of course not,” Jiang Huai replied innocently.
“Then Qingyu is relieved.”
Jiang Huai looked at Luo Qingyu with a touch of melancholy, moving closer and pinching her cheek.
“What were you thinking about just now?”
“I was worried…”
“Worried about what?”
“What if Brother Jiang Huai secretly gets along with another woman when Qingyu isn’t around?”
Jiang Huai didn’t want to promise anything that would fall into the girl’s trap. He seemed to ponder seriously.
“That might be true. Normally, I don’t have any desires, but it’s all Qingyu’s fault for always tempting me to pinch her feet. So, when Qingyu isn’t around, it seems I’ll have to find another woman to satisfy my cravings.”
“No!”
Luo Qingyu pouted, pushing her chest forward and wriggling her pale feet into his palm, her eyes filled with grievance.
“Brother Jiang Huai can only play with Qingyu’s…”
Jiang Huai smiled without saying anything.
After a while, the little clingy girl adopted a sulky attitude again and spoke in a low voice.
“At most… you can also play with Aunt Chu’s…”
