Infinite Awakening: My Exp Doubles Everyday novel Chapter 114

Chapter 114: Mid-Level Magical Weapons

Xiang Yu turned around to find his master fixing him with a disapproving look.

"Master! Did you succeed?" Xiang Yu asked, deliberately ignoring Elder Guo’s previous question.

"Of course I succeeded. Who do you take me for?" Elder Guo replied, his chin lifting with pride despite his weakened state.

"As expected of the master," Xiang Yu said with an exaggerated bow.

"Stop trying to change the topic. I heard—" Elder Guo began, but Xiang Yu swiftly cut him off.

"Master, what do you mean? You must be growing old if you’re hearing things," Xiang Yu said smoothly, guiding his master to sit down.

"You brat! You think—" Elder Guo’s retort was interrupted by the sudden arrival of two figures descending from the sky.

Li Yao and Elder Huang landed gracefully together, their robes fluttering gently in the breeze.

"Hmph, forget it," Elder Guo muttered, his demeanor shifting subtly at the sight of Elder Huang.

"Senior brother..." both Elder Huang and Li Yao spoke simultaneously. They exchanged awkward glances.

Xiang Yu couldn’t suppress a chuckle at the scene unfolding before him.

"Everyone, come and sit. I’ve just finished cooking," he invited, gesturing toward the table where steaming dishes awaited.

The two women nodded and joined Elder Guo at the table, settling into their seats.

"Senior brother, did you succeed? I was really worried about you," Elder Huang said, her hand reaching toward Elder Guo’s stomach.

Elder Guo caught her hand mid-movement, his reflexes still sharp despite his recent ordeal. "What are you doing?" he asked, his tone gruff but not unkind.

A blush crept across Elder Huang’s cheeks. "Checking your cultivation," she explained, not meeting his eyes.

"Can’t you sense it?" Elder Guo challenged, one eyebrow raised.

"Of course I can," she replied quickly, "but how can I be sure something didn’t go wrong? Just let me check." Her hand pushed forward with gentle insistence.

But Elder Guo wasn’t to be taken lightly. Even though he had lost his cultivation, his body refining level still surpassed hers, allowing him to easily deflect her advance.

"Don’t make this harder than it needs to be, old man," Elder Huang said, spiritual qi beginning to gather around her hand.

Suddenly aware of the silence, she glanced around and noticed Li Yao and Xiang Yu watching them intently. Embarrassment flooded her face as she quickly withdrew her hand.

"Well, maybe we should eat first," she spoke, composing herself.

Li Yao observed the interaction thoughtfully. Martial Aunt and Master really had a nice relationship, she reflected. Her gaze drifted to Xiang Yu, wondering if they would share such comfortable familiarity when they grew old together.

Xiang Yu caught her staring and returned a confused expression. "What’s this girl up to now?" he thought to himself. "Why is she looking at me like that? Did I offend her somehow?"

After finishing the meal, Li Yao and Elder Huang prepared to return to their duties when Xiang Yu’s voice stopped them.

"Senior brother?" Li Yao turned, hope flickering in her eyes that perhaps Xiang Yu was reluctant to part with her.

"Here, take this," he said, extending a spatial ring toward her.
