"Brat, do you think I'll believe this nonsense? Don't try to fool this old drunk like I'm one of those gullible little girls!"

The scruffy old man sneered, then glanced at Ye Xuan, and said slowly, "You're so young, reaching this realm at the age of twenty is rare. Your talent is extraordinary. So, it's not impossible for you to quickly learn someone else's martial arts! But this old drunk won't be fooled, otherwise, if you learn my treasured skills, I'd be at a loss!"

"Heh heh, didn't expect the old man to see through me. I admit I did have this thought because I'm really interested in your Drunken Fist! To progress in martial arts, one must learn from others. I've been stuck at this realm for a while, so I hoped to gain some insight from your Drunken Fist."

Ye Xuan touched his nose, no longer hiding anything, and stated his purpose.

"At least you're honest enough to admit it, kid!"

The scruffy old man looked at Ye Xuan in surprise, nodded slightly, and after pondering for a moment, said, "Normally, I wouldn't easily teach my fist technique to others. It's an unwritten rule to pass it internally but not externally."

"I set a rule long ago to only pass it on to my family and disciples. Since you're neither, naturally, I have no reason to teach you the technique..."

Saying this, he smiled lightly, "However, this old drunk isn't stuck in his ways. Last time, you showed mercy and healed my injury. I haven't had a chance to repay you! Now that you're earnestly seeking to learn my fist technique, I'll make an exception and teach you once."

Upon hearing this, Ye Xuan's eyes instantly lit up, "Old man, did you really agree?"

"Indeed! My daughter is still out there somewhere. I'm just a lonely man now and don't want this fist technique to be buried with me. Passing it on to you is fine, at least it can be preserved." The scruffy old man nodded.

"Old man, you don't have to worry. I believe your daughter is still alive, and you will reunite," Ye Xuan comforted.

"I appreciate your words. I hope she is safe and sound. It's not important if we reunite, as long as she is happy, this old drunk will be content!"

The scruffy old man sighed, then changed the topic, "Kid, if I pass this fist technique to you, you're considered my inheritor. I believe you'll be able to make the Drunken Fist shine even more than in my hands."

Ye Xuan appeared solemn and bowed, promising, "Old man, rest assured, I will earnestly study your fist technique and uphold your trust, making it flourish!"

"Alright, follow me."

The scruffy old man nodded, got up from his reclining chair, hung the wine gourd on his waist, and walked towards the open space with his hands behind his back.

Ye Xuan quickly followed, straightened his back, and walked alongside the scruffy old man.

...

While Ye Xuan was diligently practicing the fist technique with the scruffy old man, on the other side, in Liu Ying's villa room.

Liu Ying and Murong Wanwan, the two women, after entering the room, took off their shoes, lay on the soft bed, and chatted intimately like girls do!

"Sister Liu Ying, it seems like you and Brother Ye Xuan are really close. How long have you known each other?" Murong Wanwan turned to Liu Ying and asked.

"We... have known each other for quite a while, probably about half a year," Liu Ying replied.

"Half a year? That's longer than I've known him; I've only known Brother Ye Xuan for a little over two months!"

Murong Wanwan tilted her little head and asked, "Do you like Brother Ye Xuan?"

"Of course I do, otherwise, why did I move in with him? What about you, Wanwan? Do you like your Brother Ye Xuan?" Liu Ying asked with a smile.

"Not just like, I'm super, super in love with him! Almost head over heels!"

Murong Wanwan nodded without hesitation, eyes sparkling with admiration.

"Haha, you sound more like you're chasing a celebrity than being in love!" Liu Ying teased.

"Well... there's a bit of that! From the beginning, Brother Ye Xuan was someone I admired deeply, and he still is. Even though he might not be as glamorous as those stars, in my heart, he's the brightest star in the night sky, shining far more brightly than any celebrity."

Murong Wanwan scratched her head shyly, her face full of affection, looking like a lovestruck fan.

"Of course, I don't just see him as an idol. That's just a small part of it. In my heart, he's more like a lover! I really, really love him, hopelessly even. Sister Liu Ying, you know, I'm thinking about being his woman every day, dreaming about it at night, driving myself crazy. If I could be part of his harem, I'd be overjoyed!"

Liu Ying gently laughed, poked Murong Wanwan's forehead with a finger, and said, "My little sister, you're really devoted to this big man, aren't you?"

Then she turned serious and reminded, "But remember, he already has a wife and is getting married soon. There's also a lot of other women out there! Are you really willing to follow him without getting any formal recognition?"

"What's there to care about? I only care about being with him, not those formalities! Plus, the only thing that matters to me now is becoming his woman. I'm not bothered by how many women he has." Murong Wanwan retorted, appearing unconcerned, "The more women Brother Ye Xuan has, the more it proves his charm. If I can't be his wife, I'll just be his lover. If not even a lover, then I'll be his fourth, fifth, sixth, or at worst, his loyal little maid! Being by his side is the greatest happiness."

"I didn't expect someone so young to have such mature thoughts!" Liu Ying looked at Murong Wanwan in surprise.

She wondered to herself if this little girl had been brainwashed by Ye Xuan, making her so obsessed. But then she thought about how she herself was equally enamored with Ye Xuan. Despite his usual lecherous nature, he undeniably had great charisma.

Especially, there was something uniquely captivating about him for women, making them unconsciously drawn in!

Even she fell for him, not to mention a young girl like Murong Wanwan. It was only natural for her to be infatuated.

"Well, it's good you think this way; it saves you from future troubles," Liu Ying nodded with a smile.

"Exactly!"

Murong Wanwan had a serious expression, "There are so many women around Brother Ye Xuan, if I cared about each one and got jealous, wouldn't I drive myself insane? That would turn into a harem drama."

Then she remembered something and asked, "Right, Sister Liu Ying, I've always wanted to ask you, why do you call Brother Ye Xuan a big man?"
