Be Passive In The High Martial World

Chapter 57: She Beat Me Up in Her Mother's Womb

Chen Kuang was definitely not drunk, and it was impossible for him to get drunk.

Perhaps it was a side effect of the Xiaoyao liquor, but his alcohol tolerance had increased significantly. After drinking dozens of cups just now, he seemed completely unaffected.

On the other hand, Lin Eryou, who was hosting the gathering, was completely drunk.

"Although the status bar didn't refresh, I probably manually added a passive skill called 'Unaffected by a Thousand Cups'..." Chen Kuang thought to himself.

But sometimes, alcohol doesn't intoxicate the person, but rather themselves.

"Are you drunk?" Shen Meinan's eyes, which were extremely similar yet completely different from Shen Xingzhu's, were close to Chen Kuang's face.

"A little bit." Chen Kuang nodded seriously.

Shen Meinan carefully examined his face, tracing every contour with her gaze.

In fact, as long as one wasn't blind, they could tell that Chen Kuang wasn't actually drunk at all. His fair and clear complexion, calm and composed expression, and lack of any signs of drunkenness were evident. When he stood up, he was still steady.

But after watching for a while, the young girl firmly said, "I can tell that you're really drunk. Let me help you to your room so you don't stumble on the way."

"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Shen," Chen Kuang smiled.

Shen Meinan hesitated for a moment, then reached out her left hand to hold his hand and walked forward, her ears turning slightly red.

She muttered, "Um... you can just call me Meinan. Otherwise, there are so many Fellow Daoists with the surname Shen in the world, how would I know who you're referring to?"

"Alright, Miss Meinan," Chen Kuang readily agreed, speaking softly.

Lowering his head, he saw the girl stumble and become uncoordinated, a smirk forming at the corner of his mouth.

I really don't know who the blind drunkard is...

The guest room arranged by Lin Eryou for Chen Kuang was on the floor below, just a short walk downstairs and a turn away, not too far.

However, Shen Meinan repeatedly instructed Chen Kuang to be extremely careful, as if she wanted to report every detail of each step's height.

This short distance took a full fifteen minutes to walk.

Chen Kuang even felt his palms sweating.

But in reality, it was just an illusion caused by the girl holding his hand too tightly—although she probably didn't notice it herself.

Shen Meinan chattered incessantly like a little bird along the way, seemingly trying to cover up her nervousness, but it also made it easier for Chen Kuang to engage in conversation.

Shen Meinan turned her head and looked at him curiously, asking, "Are you here in Jishao County to visit relatives? Are you from Jishao County?"

Chen Kuang nodded, "Sort of. I lived in Jishao County when I was young, but I left later."

He took the opportunity to ask, "And what about Miss Meinan?"

"Me?" Shen Meinan paused, "Actually, it's nothing... I came to Jishao County to travel and cultivate, to broaden my horizons... um..."

Her voice grew softer.

"Alright." She paused for a moment, then pursed her lips and lowered her gaze, whispering, "That's what I tell others, but actually, I secretly ran away from home to play. Please don't tell anyone."

So she ran away from home...

At her age, it didn't seem too surprising for her to do such a thing.

It just made people curious about what kind of upbringing could produce both Shen Xingzhu and Shen Meinan.

Chen Kuang shook his head and smiled, "That's not what I was asking."

"I was asking... where is Miss Meinan from, and what is her family like?"

Shen Meinan hesitated, then glanced at him and said, "My... my family?"

Chen Kuang nodded, "Yes."

He sighed, "To be honest, I was separated from my family when I was young. I came here to visit relatives, but in reality, I'm searching for my family. So I feel a bit nervous about seeing them again. I don't know how ordinary people get along with their families."

"If Miss Meinan could give me some advice and insights, that would be great."

Shen Meinan opened her mouth.

It turns out that he had such a difficult background.

He is also blind, I don't know how much hardship he has endured to become a cultivator...

Seeing that he appeared calm on the surface, seemingly pretending to be strong, Shen Meinan couldn't help but feel a little worried. She felt that she had a heavy responsibility and must give some useful advice.

However, no matter how much she thought about it, she couldn't come up with any heartwarming scenes.

She couldn't help but feel frustrated.

She pouted her mouth and said with some discouragement, "You've asked the wrong person!"

"I have a twin sister in my family. Although we were born from the same womb, we are like heaven and earth."

They really are sisters!

Although Chen Kuang knew the answer, he couldn't help but tease, "I guess Shen Meinan is the heaven."

Shen Meinan's twin ponytails immediately swayed happily, making a jingling sound. "Of course I am the heaven, but... others don't think so."

Her twin ponytails drooped down like the ears of two droopy-eared rabbits.

"My sister is cold and stunning, unparalleled in the world. She is destined to be the lonely fairy who is invincible in the world. From childhood to adulthood, I have heard them praise her so much that my ears have calluses."

"Although, as she grew older, they dared not praise her anymore, only trembling and nodding."

"And what about me?"

Shen Meinan tugged at her ponytail and twirled it around with her fingers, complaining full of resentment.

"I was born ten years later than her, with average talent and average looks. I can't even stand out in a crowd."

"They have never said a kind word to me. It's always comparing me to my sister, pointing out where I fall short compared to her today, and where I fell short compared to her yesterday..."

No... at least you have one thing that is not average.

And it is very not average.

Chen Kuang couldn't help but think.

Of course, he didn't dare to say these comforting words out loud, afraid of being thrown into the lake directly.

But Shen Meinan's words were definitely overly self-deprecating.

Her eyes were exactly the same as Shen Xingzhu's, since they are twins, their looks shouldn't be that different.

With a beautiful oval face, she was lively and charming, with a bit of chubby baby fat. A little more would be cute, a little less would be wild. In terms of description, she was like... a lit cherry, shining brightly like a snowball.

Although she appeared slightly immature due to her young age, she was definitely a top-notch beauty.

"Wait a minute."

Chen Kuang paused and suddenly discovered a blind spot, "Ten years? Aren't you twins? How could you be born ten years later than her?"

When this was mentioned, Shen Meinan became even more angry.

Her eyebrows furrowed, and she said angrily, "You don't know, it's all because of that wicked woman!"

"We were supposed to be born together, but she kicked and punched me in the womb. I was thin and small, which made my mother think that the other child had already died, so she stopped giving birth."

"So I had to stay in the womb for another ten years, until I regained vitality and my mother gave birth to me again."

"When I was born, my whole body was covered in bruises. It was so miserable!"

Shen Meinan described the situation at that time with a serious expression.

...

Chen Kuang twitched the corner of his mouth.

Stopped giving birth halfway and stayed in the womb for ten more years?

Forgive my audacity, but are you sure you didn't forget to take out the placenta and gave birth to a placenta instead?
