Chapter 319: Why Are You Naked?
Why Are You Naked? . . .
Cha Eun Xiao's internal lamentation echoed within him as he grappled with his emotional turmoil. He had just managed to cease the welling tears, and now his very blood seemed on the verge of betraying him.
Emerging from the inner sanctum, Bing-Er noticed Cha Eun Xiao's distracted gaze. His concentration was so intense that it appeared his eyeballs might leap from their sockets. A blush crept onto her face as she spoke with happiness, "Brother Xiao, why are you looking at me like that?"
Her voice, akin to the melodious song of a bird deep in a valley, roused Cha Eun Xiao from his reverie. He responded in a dazed manner, "Bing-Er... Why are you not wearing anything?"
Bing-Er's astonishment was palpable as she glanced at her body, then up at him with a perplexed expression. "Brother Xiao, I am dressed appropriately. I am not nude! This is nonsense!" She felt a mix of shyness and delight.
With the mindset of a twelve-year-old, she couldn't help but think, [Brother Xiao is looking at me with such a gaze, imagining me in the nude... What a playboy! What a rogue... This is so embarrassing...]
Cha Eun Xiao was taken aback. He looked at her once more, and all he perceived was her flawless, snow-white skin. Certain parts of her body quivered with her every breath. Once again, the sight startled him, and he felt his blood surging uncontrollably.
Realizing that something was amiss, Cha Eun Xiao wasn't willing to succumb to his impulses. He closed his eyes and took deep breaths to quell his desires. Dismissing the Yin Yang Eyes martial art, he looked at Bing-Er once more, and what he saw was a composed and serene Bing-Er in a white dress. She stood there quietly, wearing a smile on her face, her eyes radiating with joy.
[She is wearing everything!
How on earth could she be naked?]
Cha Eun Xiao shook his head, his thoughts muddled with confusion. [Was it all just a figment of my imagination?]
Driven by curiosity and uncertainty, he activated the Yin Yang Eyes once more and observed Bing-Er. Suddenly, she transformed once again into a naked beauty right before his eyes, and this time, she was even closer to him.
Worried about Cha Eun Xiao's peculiar behavior, Bing-Er approached him to check on him. With each step she took, every inch of her body became vivid and clear in Cha Eun Xiao's sight.
Cha Eun Xiao could no longer restrain his desires.
— Puff! —
Cha Eun Xiao lifted his head and shut his eyes, bringing an abrupt halt to the martial art. But it proved too late to prevent the inevitable. Two crimson streams erupted from his nose, ascending into the air before gradually cascading back down.
The scene was nothing short of mortifying.
Cha Eun Xiao felt deeply disgraced, thinking, [This is utter humiliation! I've never experienced such shame in either of my lives! What's been happening to me lately? First, I was weeping, and now I'm bleeding. Can't I have some peace and respite? Curse it! It's all the fault of that infuriating Yin Yang Eyes. The Right Eye startled me, and the Left Eye ambushed me. It's simply toying with me! Yin Yang Eyes is nothing but a martial art that drives you to the brink of madness!]
"Brother Xiao, your nose is bleeding again. Are you okay?" Bing-Er's voice rang out with concern.
She hastily fetched a napkin to wipe the blood from Cha Eun Xiao's face, all the while expressing her anxieties. "Brother Xiao, why is your nose bleeding like this? Is something wrong with you? Shouldn't you see a doctor? You can't let something like this linger... What if it keeps happening?"
Faced with her tender and considerate care, Cha Eun Xiao couldn't help but feel intensely embarrassed.
[You little girl, where did you learn to speak like that? Is this a stroke of luck or a misfortune?]
Ah, how was he supposed to respond? The embarrassment was nearly unbearable.
Cha Eun Xiao covered his nose and coughed with a tinge of embarrassment, scarcely inclined to speak.
He collected himself but was overcome by frustration bordering on tears.
[See through the deceptions, unveil the secrets of heaven and earth; comprehend the ways of the world, transcend the realm of the living and the dead. That's what they said about Yin Yang Eyes, but is this really it?] Cha Eun Xiao sighed, his speechless frustration nearly driving him to despair. [What a cruel joke. I'm utterly doomed...]
[One eye sees ghosts, and the other peers beneath women's attire...] he lamented. [I thought it was some wondrous martial art... I had been so thrilled about it for so long... Well, now I'm excited, but not in a way I ever wanted...]
[If it merely allowed me to see through women's clothing, that would be one thing. But it showed me men's bare bodies too...] Cha Eun Xiao's stomach churned. He felt a touch of dizziness. [My goodness, I won't stoop to such revolting behavior!]
[No wonder I wept for such an extended duration when I first accepted this martial art. It was a warning about this...] He concluded that he couldn't summon any tears even if he tried now.
"That was a reasonable reaction," Cha Eun Xiao mused, exhaling deeply.
Dismissing the Yin Yang Eyes left him feeling somewhat unenthusiastic.
"Why would a giant man appear for such a ridiculous martial art?" Cha Eun Xiao questioned, somewhat exasperated. "Was it some kind of bizarre performance? Why must I be entangled in this?"
Reviewing the martial art's principles, Cha Eun Xiao sought to find any redeeming qualities. He was not at all inclined to engage in the voyeuristic act of peering through a girl's clothing. He would rather view someone in their entirety without concealing a motive.
Taking advantage of someone without their knowledge was a line he had no intention of crossing, guided by the sense of shame within his heart.
[... The first step is to see through the external protection...] Cha Eun Xiao thought, which led him to the realization that external protection referred to clothing, a shield covering a person's body.
[... The second step of the first grade is to delve deeper into their essence...] Cha Eun Xiao was perplexed. He couldn't grasp the concept of delving deeper.
Nonetheless, he had resolved to continue cultivating this martial art, perhaps believing it could be useful someday. Yet, if after completing the first step he could only see through people's clothing, he would shelve it.
He would seal it away, affirming, [I, Cha Eun Xiao, in either of my lives, have no need for such a martial art that merely enables me to peek at women's bodies! A man should have principles!]
With his mind made up, he proceeded to evaluate his physical condition and the progress of his cultivation. As he scrutinized himself, he was taken aback. Even for someone as composed and level-headed as Cha Eun Xiao, he couldn't help but exclaim, "My goodness, what is happening?"
