Chapter 105: Xiao Wuxiang Gong Fully Organized!

Fang Han gathered his thoughts and looked at Madam Wang, whose emotions were spiraling more and more out of control, becoming more and more erratic.

Somewhat helpless, he spoke softly:

“I didn’t mean it like that…”

“If you dare to abandon me after seducing me, I’ll kill you!~”

Madam Wang didn’t even care for his explanation. With tearful eyes, she glared viciously at this “dog of a man” before her.

Well, in truth, she couldn’t really see him clearly—everything was blurry.

And besides, she couldn’t really be fierce.

Crying and sobbing like that, with tear-filled eyes—how fierce could she actually look?

Fang Han: “…”

He sighed helplessly and began explaining slowly.

What he meant by a faster cultivation method was simply the method of qi transmission.

And it wasn’t at all what she had imagined.

Can’t you at least listen properly and understand what someone means before jumping to conclusions?

Madam Wang: “…”

Realizing she had misunderstood, Madam Wang blinked her tear-dimmed beautiful eyes, standing there dazed and a little lost.

Ah… so… it was like that?

By reason, since the misunderstanding was cleared up, everything should have been fine.

But—she had already cried this much. If she just retracted it all now, wouldn’t that seem inappropriate?

Do I not care about my dignity at all?

Thinking this way, Madam Wang’s embarrassment flashed for a moment, but quickly vanished. Not willing to lose face, she retorted:

“You are still heartless! Even now you call me ‘madam’ this and ‘madam’ that. Clearly, you hold no affection for me in your heart!”

It had the flavor of someone quarreling, realizing halfway through that they were in the wrong, and quickly scrambling to find another angle.

But truth be told, it wasn’t entirely unreasonable.

She realized that now they were already this intimate, yet he still addressed her as “madam” every time—it was truly infuriating.

What’s so amusing about that?

Fang Han fell silent, saying nothing. But thinking it over carefully, he realized…

It was true. Considering how close they were now, if he still kept calling her “madam,” she must feel uneasy about it.

So he spoke clearly:

“Then what should I call you? Hmm… how about Qingluo?”

When Madam Wang heard this, at first she was delighted, then confused. She asked: “Huh? How did you know my given name?”

She had originally planned to explain it to him carefully someday, but to her surprise, he already knew—without her saying a word.

Fang Han thought to himself, Of course I know! I don’t just know—I know far more than that!

Just as he was about to speak, Madam Wang’s expression turned into one of realization. She nodded earnestly and said:

“I understand now. You truly possess ghost-and-god abilities! You can know many things unseen and unheard, can’t you?”

Madam Wang had long harbored such suspicions.

All the signs: first, the secret of Langhuan Jade Cave; then Xiao Wuxiang Gong

; then even some of her old, hidden past matters.

Things that should have been known to hardly anyone at all, things that—apart from herself—no second person should have known… yet he knew them all as if they were written on his palm.

How could he know these things?

Unless… this man truly possessed ghost-and-god abilities!?

Back then, Madam Wang had already entertained such a thought.

From initial suspicion, to half-belief, to now—she was essentially convinced!

It must be ghost-and-god abilities!

No wonder he could always inexplicably know so many secrets. If so, then him knowing her given name was no big deal at all.

It could be understood.

While she was declaring this with solemn conviction, Fang Han, on the other hand, was baffled, his mind full of question marks.

Eh… what? Ghost-and-god abilities? Do I have that?

His expression turned strange, but thinking carefully…

Maybe he actually did.

After all, he had the Life Simulator, this divine-level cheat.

Endless reincarnations, endless lifetimes!

It wasn’t obvious now, but in the long run, he would only grow more terrifying!

Rounding it up—yes, that was basically ghost-and-god abilities.

Perhaps, in the future, after enough simulations and power-ups, he might even…

…possess true ghost-and-god powers!

And using the mindset of this ancient world to interpret it—

mysterious knowledge and foresight could only be explained as ghost-and-god abilities.

Still, why did Madam Wang think this way?

What logic led her to conclude he had such powers?

And judging by her look and tone, she wasn’t joking at all—she truly believed it from the bottom of her heart…

After pondering for a while, Fang Han understood.

If you placed yourself in another’s position: if someone seemed to know all your secrets, as if nothing about you was hidden from them… such an abnormal, inexplicable phenomenon…

No wonder she would come up with this odd notion.

Thinking this through, Fang Han looked at Madam Wang, who had been crying earlier and was still sniffling every now and then. His feelings grew a bit complicated.

Madam Wang, usually dignified and astute—

But once intimate, her intelligence seemed to plummet straight down…

Still, it was rather cute.

So he coaxed her gently:

“All right, don’t cry anymore…”

Madam Wang seemed displeased:

“You’re coaxing me like a child. What do you take me for?”

The next day.

Inside the attic room.

Madam Wang slowly woke, and saw Fang Han sitting upright at the desk, writing seriously. She walked over and asked:

“What are you writing?”

“Xiao Wuxiang Gong. Don’t you already know?”

Fang Han didn’t look up. Only after he finished the last stroke did he pick up the booklet and hand it to her, saying:

“This is the Xiao Wuxiang Gong manual. After half a month of work, it’s now fully organized. Take a look.”

Earlier, through the method of qi transmission, using breathing and exhalation as cultivation, he had quickly helped Madam Wang complete the final chants.

The Xiao Wuxiang Gong of the Xiaoyao Sect—at last, completely comprehended in full!

Fang Han had also sorted everything clearly and rewritten it neatly.

Now, this Xiao Wuxiang Gong manual no longer had those obscure and confusing sections; it was far easier to read and understand.

Madam Wang accepted it almost absentmindedly, her expression a little speechless: What’s the point of me looking at this…

She wasn’t interested in reading this at all.

She skimmed it distractedly for a few moments, then put the Xiao Wuxiang Gong manual aside, fixing her gaze firmly on Fang Han:

“This Xiao Wuxiang Gong cultivation method—I have, as agreed, completely taught you…”

The Xiao Wuxiang Gong manual was designed with two obstacles.

The first was understanding the meanings behind terms like pig heart, pig liver, pig lung, pig kidney, pig spleen, along with specific hours and silver coin numbers.

These referred to the five internal organs, the meridians and acupoints, the cultivation times, and repetitions!

The second was interpreting the breathing and exhalation techniques.

In each of the A, B, C, D volumes, the strange verses written within had to be read in the corresponding dialect and intonation in order to gradually comprehend the breathing methods.

At the time when Fang Han had asked her to teach him, they had agreed: once she taught him the cultivation methods, he would leave Mantuo Villa within a month!

Originally, Madam Wang had naturally been eager to see this agreement completed, so that Fang Han would fulfill his word and leave Mantuo Villa!

But now…

Her feelings were complicated.

As she thought about it, staring at that Xiao Wuxiang Gong manual, she wondered: If I had taught him more slowly, wouldn’t that have been better?

But now everything was already taught. It was too late to say anything.

She could only wait and see what he would decide.

Fang Han froze for a moment when he heard her, then quickly understood.

After pondering for a while, he answered with solemn seriousness:

“Madam, I understand what you mean. After all, this Xiao Wuxiang Gong is an extremely profound divine skill. A single hair’s difference may result in a thousand miles’ error. We must carefully check and verify it!”

Hearing this, Madam Wang immediately revealed a faint smile.

But then her expression turned cold again, her brows filled with restrained anger.

Dog of a man! Are you not done calling me ‘madam’ yet!?
