Fox Demon: Huaizhu is not a concubine, and hegemony has no wife

Chapter 40 Some things cannot be achieved by hard work

As the night deepened, the whole village became unusually quiet.

In the quiet adobe house, Dongfang Qinlan, who was a little excited at first, began to yawn, and Dongfang Yuping also looked a little relaxed.

"I'm afraid he won't come today."

After waiting for such a long time without any sound, the Taoist priest who stayed in the room also sighed.

"Very sleepy!"

Dongfang Qinlan also rubbed her eyes. She waited from the first half of the night to the second half of the night, but not only did she not see the shadow of the demon wolf, there was not even a sound from the entire small mountain village. The initial passion slowly faded away with the passage of time.

"Silly boy, are you still waiting?"

Dongfang Qinlan turned her head and looked at Su Mu.

"Wait a minute."

Su Mu pressed the hilt of the sword at his waist with his eyes slightly lowered. To be honest, he had been waiting for so long that he felt a little impatient.

It’s just that perhaps because of all the sword practice during this period, my patience has improved a lot, so I can still hold on now.

"If you're tired, take a rest. I'll go take a look outside."

Su Mu said this to the people in the room, then opened the door and went out into the yard.

The small mountain village is pitch black under the night sky, with only the soft moonlight bringing some light to this small mountain village.

Looking around the entire mountain village, it was quiet and there was no sign of monsters breaking in.

It seems that the wolf demon probably won’t come today.

Just as he was about to turn around and go back to the house to rest, the image of the little girl he saw during the day appeared in his mind. She was thin and weak, like a beggar, but her eyes were unusually bright, full of anticipation for her parents to come back soon.

But her parents will never come back.

"Let's practice swordplay."

With a low sigh, he whispered, "Although the wolf demon probably won't come today, but what if..."

Thinking of this, he drew the sword from his waist. The sharp blade left the scabbard and emitted a sharp sword light under the dim moonlight.

His hands tightly gripped the hilt of the sword, his mind was immersed in this moment, and his spirit was fully focused at this moment.

I do not know how long it has been

Cut out with one sword.

"Ding, congratulations to the host, you have slashed out a sword, the number of sword swings +1."

A cold, mechanical and emotionless voice sounded in my ears.

He was already familiar with these sounds and no longer paid as much attention to them as he did at the beginning.

At this moment, his heart was more immersed in the sword held tightly in his hand.

He didn't know when it started, but his perception of the sword in his hand became much clearer. He vaguely felt that the cold sword in his hand was no longer a dead object.

It seemed that the cold sword also had feelings and emotions.

He didn't understand why he had this feeling in his heart, but he had an intuition that his connection with the sword in his hand was becoming increasingly close.

Suppressing the doubts in his heart, Su Mu continued to wave the sword in the yard.

Unconsciously, the speed at which he swung his sword seemed to be getting faster and faster.

…………

Inside the house, the girl held her chin and looked through the window at the boy practicing sword outside, her eyes sparkling with bright colors.

"Second Miss, does he train this hard every day?"

Behind him, Dongfang Yuping asked softly.

"Ah."

Dongfang Qinlan nodded: "Although the silly boy is a little silly, he is usually very hardworking."

Hearing the Second Young Miss' words, Dongfang Yuping couldn't help but look out the window at the man outside. After a while, she sighed softly and said, "It's a pity that his talent is average. If he had the talent of the eldest brother, with his hard work, his future would be limitless."

This world is unfair after all. Some people are born different, such as the eldest brother Jin Renfeng, Wang Quan Baiye of the Wang Quan family, or Tushan Honghong of Tushan.

These people are born with extraordinary talents. Others may not be able to achieve as much as they can achieve in one day after practicing hard for a month.

these people

Destined to be a child of destiny.

Of course, it’s not that hard work is useless, it’s just that... some things cannot be achieved by hard work.

"Big Brother is indeed very talented, but he may not be better than the silly boy."

Dongfang Qinlan was not convinced.

In her eyes, the silly boy is much more powerful than the golden phoenix.

What's more, in terms of talent, she may not be worse than Jin Renfeng. Moreover, she is from the Eastern Spirit Clan and possesses the world's number one divine fire, the Demon-Slaying Divine Fire, which is something Jin Renfeng is far unable to catch up with.

Dongfang Yuping couldn't help but glance at the Second Young Miss. As a gifted child of heaven, the Second Young Miss naturally didn't understand the gap between ordinary people and gifted children of heaven. That gap couldn't be achieved with just hard work.

…………

Su Mu practiced swordplay outside the yard for a while, feeling the still quiet little village. He sighed slightly, sheathed his sword, and walked into the house.

As soon as I entered the room, the girl appeared at the door, holding a clean towel in her hand.

"Wipe the sweat."

The girl pretended not to care and handed the towel over.

Su Mu nodded, took it, and wiped it casually.

Not far away, Dongfang Yuping stared at the scene with wide eyes. Dongfang Yuping knew his second young lady very well, but he had never seen her care about someone so much.

"what!"

Just as Dongfang Yuping had a guess in his mind, a terrified voice rang out in the quiet mountain village.

Almost the moment the sound was heard, Su Mu and the other two jumped out of the room.

Under the dim moonlight, a dark shadow could be vaguely seen emerging in the distance, quickly fleeing away.

"It's a wolf demon. It came to the village and kidnapped people."

The Taoist who came out last saw the dark shadow in the distance and gritted his teeth.
