“So, you know, is there any way to not get your period? The period, you know what I mean, right? You’re a reborn person, so you must have had a woman in your previous life.”
Su Aoxue said this while continuously scanning her surroundings, keeping watch. “Do you have such a method, or not?”
Asking such a private question in public still felt incredibly strange to Su Aoxue.
However, what she didn’t expect was that Shen Yan’s expression immediately turned serious.
Seeing Shen Yan’s grim face, a bad feeling crept up on Su Aoxue.
“Xiao Qing really wants to ask about this? But aren’t the side effects severe? Why are you suddenly so serious? Don’t tell me there actually is such a method? It can’t be that I’m the one asking, right? I’m not a woman, after all!”
The next second, Su Aoxue deliberately exposed herself. But at the same time, she realized this might be an opportunity.
She could just casually ask if Shen Yan knew she was a girl. “Come on, tell me, do you have any kind of folk remedy?”
Su Aoxue pretended to look unconcerned, but in reality, she was constantly watching Shen Yan’s expression.
But Shen Yan simply shook his head and said,
“First of all, in my previous life, I died a bachelor and never found a woman. So I don’t have such a method here. Although I know a lot of things, I’m not omniscient. Not to mention that this involves a woman’s privacy—I’ve rarely studied this kind of thing.”
“Moreover, I strongly disapprove of forcibly reversing the body’s natural physiological responses! Even if such a folk remedy really existed, I wouldn’t learn it. A martial artist’s original body is the most flawless and perfect state. If Xiao Qing really has this idea, she’d better give it up—it will harm her body!”
In Shen Yan’s view, it was completely impossible for anyone to research things that violate the normal mechanisms of the human body.
This was also the reason he firmly believed that a man could never suddenly turn into a woman. Shen Yan said this stubbornly.
Listening to Shen Yan’s very obstinate words, Su Aoxue was stunned. “Your way of speaking… why does it sound just like that Pioneer?”
‘But according to what Old Shen said, what about my body that was modified by the Power of Glacial Calamity?’
After Su Aoxue brought up that legendary figure, a trace of emotion appeared on Shen Yan’s face.
“I have indeed been greatly influenced by that person’s existence. His traditional martial arts theories are extremely profound.”
“I understand, I get it. You used to love studying Chuan Wu, and now it seems that future you has studied it even more thoroughly?”
Su Aoxue nodded slightly, while thinking that Shen Yan’s reaction didn’t seem to indicate he had discovered she’d turned into a girl.
After all, she’d just exposed herself and he hadn’t reacted. Not entirely sure—she’d better observe a bit more.
But having no way to stop the monthly bleeding buff still disappointed Su Aoxue deep down.
“Indeed, my research into Chuan Wu has now reached a new height. You should have felt it the day you sparred with me, right?”
Shen Yan’s words immediately brought back Su Aoxue’s memories from the day after the Awakening Ceremony.
In that spar with Shen Yan, she had been led around by the nose the whole time.
Thinking about this, Su Aoxue immediately became a little angry.
“So that’s why I suddenly couldn’t beat you back then! You cheated, you bastard! An old geezer reborn from the future, beating up a young person like me—you deliberately wanted to teach me a lesson, didn’t you? And you were the one who started the spar, so you planned it all along!”
In response, Shen Yan explained helplessly,
“At the time, I was just thinking of teaching you some combat techniques. After all, the City-Destroying Level crisis was coming up. Otherwise, you would have died even sooner. Also, I’m not an old geezer. I’m not that old. I died young, and you died even earlier anyway.”
Hearing his explanation, Su Aoxue gradually calmed down. “You’re the one who died early!”
‘If you knew that I’m the one who killed myself back then, wouldn’t you be totally shocked?’
“Let’s not talk about the past. But why did Xiao Qing suddenly ask this question? Is the period giving her a lot of trouble?”
Just then, Shen Yan pulled the conversation back. “Does your mother know about this? Xiao Qing is still young, her mental state should be considered…”
As Shen Yan started to ramble, Su Aoxue quickly interrupted. “Alright, alright, I’ll talk to my mom about it. I don’t have anything else, so I’m going now. I’ll head downstairs for breakfast!”
With that, Su Aoxue left the place.
Shen Yan looked at her retreating figure with a puzzled expression. “Why would Xiao Qing suddenly have such a thought?”
When he went downstairs to get breakfast, Shen Yan saw Su Muqing and Su Mother already eating.
Remembering how happily Su Muqing had been smiling, she didn’t seem like someone who would have such a need. “I’ll ask Xiao Qing about this in private next time I see her.”
Meanwhile, inside the elevator, Su Aoxue’s face showed disappointment. “There’s no way to avoid my period after all…”
Thinking of her little sister, Su Aoxue suddenly felt a headache coming.
“Xiao Qing, the period seems to come for a few fixed days every month. What do I do? I’ve never had one—how am I supposed to know when it’ll come?!”
Murmuring to herself, Su Aoxue counted the days on her fingers and realized that nearly half a month had passed since she had turned into a girl, but she still hadn’t had her period.
This only made her more distressed. “Isn’t this thing like a ticking time bomb now? It could go off any day, right?”
But despite her distress, the thought that Shen Yan had never even found a wife until death made her feel a little better. After all, in her current state, she couldn’t find a wife either. Two bachelors—brotherhood strengthened!
Over the next two days, Su Aoxue’s family and Shen Yan’s family both relaxed at the hotel for two days. Then, on the third day, the martial arts assessment finally arrived.
Both families got up early and took the hotel’s dedicated shuttle to the assessment center.
The location was the Martial Arts Association in the Secondary Core Base City.
There, a massive battle simulation chamber could perfectly simulate the living areas of the Gray Mist and Abyss creatures—namely, the Underground World and the Grey Mist World.
The assessment content was to kill the corresponding creatures in each world sequentially.
“The Abyss and the Gray Mist again…”
Su Aoxue watched the actual combat footage on the big screen, feeling indifferent inside.
Her actual strength was now that of an A-rank Warrior, and if she used her Anomalous Ability seriously, she would be even better than Shen Yan at crushing fish in a barrel.
“Maybe I should keep a low profile. The Power of Glacial Calamity isn’t suitable for public display. Crushing fish? Forget it… I wonder what Old Shen is thinking.”
