Minglong

Chapter 10 Do you think I'm a naive person?
After one move, both of them stopped at the same time and did not move anymore.

The moonlit courtyard also fell into a dead silence, with only the enchanting singing voice drifting from outside the back wall:
"Her eyebrows are long and curved, and her waist is slender and graceful..."

Linghu Qingmo's eyelashes trembled. He was suddenly hit. His eyes were filled with surprise and suspicion, but he soon realized something was wrong - his chest was squeezed full by a large hand...

? !
After reacting, Linghu Qingmo's eyes instantly turned into murderous intent!
Xie Jinhuan pressed his left hand against his chest, feeling the sensation. He quickly withdrew his hand when he noticed Miss Momo's eyes looked like she wanted to eat him.
"When sparring with each other, physical contact is inevitable~..."

"You shameless little thief!"

Before he finished speaking, Linghu Qingmo's face turned red. He grabbed Xie Jinhuan's left hand, and a blue-white light was shining on his arm.

Stab~
Xie Jinhuan's wrists were clamped, and it felt like he was sitting on an electric chair. It was difficult for him to speak:
"Can't you afford to lose?!"

Linghu Qingmo's cold and beautiful face turned into a fiery cloud, and she really wanted to chop down the scoundrel who took advantage of her with a sword.

But she was indeed accidentally hit just now. If it was a life-and-death fight, she would have died. How could she have the chance to fight back here?

Linghu Qingmo's clothes were rippling, and his eyelashes were trembling with anger, but he finally stopped the lightning control technique and responded with a flushed face:
"I come from a reputable and upright family, how could I not accept defeat? As a warrior, how could you use the Thunder Binding Sword to ambush someone?"

Xie Jinhuan was numbed by the electric shock, but as a warrior with thick skin and flesh, he recovered in an instant:

"I've already said that my studies are quite diverse. You're from Zihui Mountain, so are you afraid that I'll use my weaknesses to defeat your strengths?"

Linghu Qingmo was speechless for a moment, then thought about it and asked:
"Since this is a sparring match, you should have stopped at the right time. You were already certain to win, so why didn't you stop beforehand?"

Xie Jinhuan said confidently, "You're unharmed, isn't that enough? You're a direct descendant of Zihui Mountain. Before the dust settles, how can I know if you possess the mystical powers to shift form and transform reality into illusion?"

Linghu Qingmo was furious when she saw Xie Jinhuan touching her breasts and blaming her for her poor skills:

"Now that you've mastered the Central Gate, how can you transform reality into illusion? Do you know how?"

Seeing that Linghu Qingmo didn't believe him, Xie Jinhuan didn't argue, but spread out his hands:
"Come on, give me a slap."

Linghu Qingmo was filled with shame and anger. Seeing this, he strode forward without hesitation and slapped Xie Jinhuan in the chest and abdomen.

bang~
The palm strike made a dull sound, the force was quite strong, and it was obvious that there was also some personal grudge involved.

But Xie Jinhuan did not dodge or block. Instead, he moved his left foot back and caught the palm strike with considerable power on his chest, then moved with the momentum.

thump—

The powerful energy penetrated the body, but failed to explode and impact the lungs. Instead, it created visible ripples in the chest, spreading along the chest, back, and arms until it reached the left hand behind the back.

bang——

The energy burst out, and leaves flew everywhere behind him. A fan-shaped open space was created by the palm force, and fallen leaves flew all over the yard!
But Xie Jinhuan was unharmed!

? !
When Linghu Qingmo saw this scene, his cold and murderous eyes instantly widened!

After all, even if she didn't know the ins and outs, she understood that Xie Jinhuan was using a profound method similar to "receiving, transforming and releasing" to contain the energy that penetrated his body and unload the force behind him without hurting his body. It seemed that she was forced to fight against the cow from a distance.

Linghu Qingmo was the direct descendant of the headmaster of Zihui Mountain. She had seen many martial arts masters in the palace, but she had never seen such a unique martial arts skill. She was deeply confused.
"What move is this?"

Xie Jinhuan was touched on the chest muscles, but he did not feel ashamed or angry. His eyes were like teaching an inexperienced apprentice, and he explained seriously:

"This move is called 'Tired Dragon Without Fault', one of the Eight Silver Dragon Styles. The key to this move is 'avoiding the front and concealing the sharp edge, moving with the spirit, and using the opponent's force to counter the opponent's force. If I wanted to, I could actually return this palm strike to you."

The blush of shame and anger on Linghu Qingmo's face had disappeared, and only surprise and suspicion remained in his eyes. He thought to himself:
Silver Dragon Eight Styles...

I've never heard of this. Such a domineering martial arts ability...

He is about the same age as me, how could his martial arts skills be so high?
Thinking of this, Linghu Qingmo asked again:
"Which school or sect did you learn from?"

Xie Jinhuan actually felt that this martial arts skill was something he figured out on his own, but it was a bit bizarre to say that he had made such great progress in three years, so he could only make up a story:

"Fengling Valley, the lineage of the Hidden Immortal, the young lady probably hasn't heard of it."

The Hidden Immortal Sect is also a branch of Taoism. It has been hidden in mountains, rivers and swamps for many years and only comes out in times of chaos. No one dares to determine how many old masters are hiding there.

Xie Jinhuan was so young yet so powerful, it was possible that he was from the Hidden Immortal Sect. However, Linghu Qingmo had never heard of Fengling Valley, so he asked:
"Where is Fengling Valley?"

Xie Jinhuan looked very secretive:
"I dare not allow outsiders to disturb the master's meditation. I hope the young lady will forgive me."

"..."

Linghu Qingmo knew the particularities of the Hidden Immortal lineage, so he didn't ask any further questions, and his eyes gradually became complicated.

Although she suffered a great loss, Xie Jinhuan was able to break the move by "receiving and transforming", so it was natural for him to not stop hitting her chest with his palm.

But in this case, wouldn't she have been beaten for nothing today, had her breasts touched for nothing, and now she has to thank others for their advice?
Isn't this just a silly, innocent thing that comes to your doorstep for free? Xie Jinhuan saw Linghu Qingmo, who had a cold temperament, and his eyes kept changing. He hesitated to move and said,

"I touched your breast once, and you touched me for so long, we're even now...hiss~"

Before she could finish her words, the fair jade hand on her chest suddenly pinched it, and the chest muscles were deformed between the fair jade fingers.

Linghu Qingmo clenched his fist, then quickly stepped back a few steps, raising his sword to protect his chest:
"Okay, you're the better one. We owe each other nothing. Goodbye."

Having said that, he turned around and wanted to run.

Xie Jinhuan rubbed his chest and didn't care about Linghu Qingmo's equal compensation. However, when he saw that he wanted to leave, he still called out:
"wait."

Linghu Qingmo paused, his eyes alert:

"What else do you want?"

"Goo~"

Without waiting for Xie Jinhuan to speak, Meiqiu landed in front of the bamboo basket filled with fallen leaves and shook his head to indicate.

"I'm willing to accept the loss and clean up the yard."

"you!"

When Linghu Qingmo heard this, his icy cheeks turned green and he thought to himself:

I was beaten by you during the day, touched on the breast by you at night, and still have to help you clean the yard?
Do you think I'm a bullied wife who can't fight back or talk back when I'm hit or scolded?

But she got beaten because she bumped into the knife, got groped because she wasn't as skilled as the other person, and swept the floor because she made a bet...

Linghu Qingmo was at a disadvantage and couldn't even find any reason to refute. After holding it in for a long time, he gritted his teeth, turned around, walked to the corner of the yard, picked up a bamboo broom, and began to sweep up the fallen leaves and dust.

shhhhh--

The force was so great that Xie Jinhuan even felt a little sorry for his own broom.

Because he had no grudge against Linghu Qingmo, and seeing that the girl had become withdrawn after being scolded, Xie Jinhuan did not act like a big shot. He took out a feather duster and started cleaning the doors and windows.

Meiqiu was also very well-behaved. Seeing Linghu Qingmo sweeping the floor with gritted teeth, he even held fallen leaves in his mouth, hopping and landing in front of him, and helped put them into the bamboo basket:
"Guji~"

Linghu Qingmo's silver teeth were clattering, but seeing that the man and the bird were also cleaning and not treating her as a maid, her anger gradually subsided. After a moment's deliberation, she asked again:
"How did you find that group of bandits today? Do you have any other clues?"

Xie Jinhuan was deceived by the Night Succubus today, and responded casually:
"I went to look for Captain Yang and ran into him by chance. He said they'd already gathered enough dragon beard grass, so there wasn't much else to do. Oh, and... they also said the body by the river had caught the attention of the government..."

"A body by the river?"

Linghu Qingmo thought carefully: "But what about the floating corpse found in Huaijiang Bay five days ago?"

Xie Jinhuan was puzzled: "I hadn't come to Danyang City five days ago. What kind of corpse is this?"

"An unidentified floating corpse, severely decomposed, making it difficult to identify male or female. Tracing its origin is difficult and is still under investigation. If this corpse is also related to the demon bandits, this case may be even more serious than we imagined..."

Suddenly getting a clue, Linghu Qingmo couldn't sit still anymore. He put down his broom and ran out.

Xie Jinhuan frowned upon seeing this:
"What? Are you giving up?"

Linghu Qingmo was anxious to interrogate the survivors, so he jumped onto the wall without even looking back.

"I have to go back and investigate. Don't worry, I come from a respectable family and I'm a man of my word. I'll definitely clean up the mess for you once I'm done."

After saying this, he flew out of the house and disappeared without a trace.

“He’s also a workaholic.”

Xie Jinhuan had to upgrade as soon as possible and bury the Night Succubus back, so he didn't clean up anymore and continued to think about his "pouring candles" magic skill.

The clamor from the back wall continued from beginning to end:

“Ding ding ding~…”

"My dear, are you embarrassed?"
