Chapter 4: A Chicken Soup

It looked as if this was that bronze piece incorporated into the palm of his hand? Xue Mu gripped and loosened it, repeatedly and again, never noticing any sense of a foreign object, nor any energy response, not feeling useful at all.

Maybe you need to have a certain amount of energy to activate it? Xue Mu secretly mused.

Xue Mu had always been a very active and adaptable person, the first moment he crossed over and opened his eyes he had been facing reality, trying to understand and integrate into his new environment. Mixing with this group of violent women who didn’t take human life seriously was dangerous, but it was also a good opportunity. At the moment, it seemed that whether it was to understand this world or to practice or whatever, there was no faster way to get along with this group of women in the current situation than to get along with them. Therefore, the first thing to do is to gain their trust first, and then consider future matters after they have stabilized themselves.

Looking out through the window, the blue sky outside the window, blue sky, blue sky, warbler flying grass, fresh and refreshing. In the modern city life for more than twenty years Xue Mu has been a long, long time have not seen this kind of countryside scene, even to the countryside, the sky is mostly shrouded in gray haze, let a person’s heart depressing, rather than such a fresh and clear.

For Xue Mu, who has no relatives in the present world, this moment feels that crossing the border is nothing, but a change of lifestyle. The money he had saved up over the years was scattered with the wind, and the starlet he had picked up was gone, so what was there to feel sorry for? What is there to worry about when you are in a brand new world and facing an unpredictable future? If you could start from nothing back then, you can do the same today.

Xue Mu let out a mouthful of turbid breath, and his mood became much broader. Looking around, he realized that the surrounding area was no longer a mountain road, and seemed to be on a flat official road. In the distance ahead, the outline of a city could be vaguely discerned, perhaps the destination of this trip.

Yue Xiaochan was flanking it not far away, her clothes fluttering as she stepped on the grass. Xue Mu gazed at her bare feet, and could ascertain that she was definitely not touching the ground, only skimming over the tips of the grass, as if she was a butterfly wearing flowers.

The force value of this world is really high ah …… thirteen or fourteen year old female doll, on this kind of light skill, it looks very leisurely, I don t know if the fire is really flying? Then again, you are so bullish, what do you need a carriage for?

As if sensing his gaze, Yue Xiaochan turned her head, smiled cheekily, and made an eye gouge gesture, as if to say: look again and I’ll gouge your eyes out.

Xue Mu had nothing to say and pointed in the direction of the city, “Miss Yue, where is that?”

“The capital city.”

“Is that where we’re going on this trip, to the capital?”

“Is it related to you?”

“I’m going to be your bookkeeper.”

Yue Xiaochan laughed out with a “ha” and floated over to the car window, sizing him up for a while, “You look much better, you were sickly before, our medicine is really useful.”

Xue Mu secretly rolled his eyes and continued without words, “Why didn’t the girl take the car?”

Yue Xiaochan puffed out her cheeks, “Master is counting how big our losses in the south were before, I had a headache from looking at those numbers and came out to relieve my boredom.”

Xue Mu was stunned, when he changed carriages earlier, he saw that there were a lot of female guards sitting in front and behind the carriage, since you are bored, won’t you talk to them, as to play Grass on the Fly alone outside?

As if she could see Xue Mu’s thoughts, Yue Xiaochan’s eyes curved into a crescent moon, and she seemed to find it very interesting: “It seems that you really don’t know who we are – do you really think that everyone else dares to talk and laugh with our master and disciple like you do? I really don’t know if you’re missing a string or are just too ignorant.”

Xue Mu leaned on the car window and inclined his head to look at Yue Xiaochan’s loli like little face, there was a pair of shallow dimples on that skin like solid fat little face, it was really cute to look at. He shook his head and laughed, “Although I am indeed ignorant and don’t know what your master and disciple are. But I feel that even if I knew, there’s no reason for me to be afraid of talking to such a beautiful little sister.”

Yue Xiaochan scraped her face, “Tough mouth, you wouldn’t say that if you knew who my master was.”

“Then may I ask your master’s high name?”

Yue Xiaochan blinked, “She has the same surname as you, Qingqiu.”

Xue Qingqiu? Xue Mu’s mind flashed through the icy cold light in the beautiful eyes, completely did not feel that this name could match the image of such a horrible expert, but instead felt that the three pinyin sounds were a bit unpleasant to read, laughed: “So it’s still the original family, that’s even more unafraid of it.”

Yue Xiaochan stared wide-eyed, looked at him with a monster like expression for half a day, finally lost his smile, “Really …… well well well, not afraid of good.”

Haven’t heard of her Yue Xiaochan, quite normal, after all, she is only thirteen years old this year, she has not yet shown her face in the jianghu, and there is not much to boast about her battle record. But what kind of person was Master?

The stars and moon have no color, and the bloody hand washes the clear autumn. The world’s strongest hole-void level experts, the most mysterious and unpredictable demonic Star Moon Sect Patriarch, killing the wild super devil, is the world’s first in the hearts of many people, although there is no public debate, that is also recognized as one of the top ten to the strongest people …… in the world of all the people revered martial arts, a hundred sermons, Xue Qingqiu’s name is almost a cure for the children’s night cries. This guy in front of me really don’t know which ravine came out ……

The so-called female guards were actually not guards of any kind, they were also disciples of the Devil Sect. However, with Yue Xiaochan such a core biography has an insurmountable status gap, really not a few dare to play with her smile, that is, she has the intention to find them to talk about, can only get a respectful response. Outsiders, not to mention, are either fighting for their lives with the “Demoness”, or they are just delirious and acting like a fool, or those who think they are fellow disciples, Xue Mu’s normal attitude is something Yue Xiaochan has never seen before, and she found it very interesting. She couldn’t help but laugh, “Looking at you at this moment, you’ve become much more relaxed. Before, I always felt that I was hiding a bellyful of secrets, and my eyebrows and eyes were all worried. Is it like you just had an epiphany?”

Xue Mu smiled, “Since you’re bored, how about I tell you a story?”

Yue Xiaochan’s eyes lit up and she said excitedly, “Yes, yes.”

Xue Mu leisurely said, “An old man selling porcelain bowls was walking along the road with a flat burden, suddenly a porcelain bowl fell to the ground and broke, but the old man continued to walk forward without looking back. The passerby saw it and felt very strange, so he asked: why did your bowl fall and break and you didn’t even look at it? How do you think the old man answered?”

Yue Xiaochan guessed with great interest, “This old man is actually very rich and doesn’t care about a piece of bowl?”

Xue Mu shook his head, “The old man replied, since it’s already broken, no matter how much you look back, it’s still broken.”

Yue Xiaochan was stunned, and the smiling expression she had been wearing slowly withdrew and went down in deep thought. Only after a long time did she speak, “Very interesting story, it actually seems to have some inspiration for my cultivation, thank you.”

Not far away on another carriage, Xue Qingqiu was frowning at several scrolls of silk, her eyebrows knitted tightly as she lifted her pen with one hand to write and draw on the paper. Her power had long since reached a level that was unimaginable to mortals, and the conversation between Yue Xiaochan and Xue Mu over there wasn’t loud, but she listened to every word in her ears. As Xue Mu’s story finished, she and her disciple were equally stunned for a moment, and looked down at the silk books in her hand, and suddenly smiled as if she had figured something out, and the several rolls of silk and silk suddenly flared up with ghostly blue flames, and in the blink of an eye flew into oblivion and dispersed without a trace.

A female disciple reported, “Patriarch, we’ve arrived.”

The caravan slowly came to a stop, and Xue Mu also got out of the carriage, looking up at the seal characters on the city gate: tiandu.

At the same time, he suddenly felt intense air pressure surging into his body, as if he was diving into extremely deep water, squeezing so much that his breathing began to be unsmooth. Before he could open his mouth to ask Yue Xiaochan beside him, he suddenly felt a wave of heat surging up from his palm, instantly spreading to every inch of his body, and the aura that he had just felt under pressure suddenly disappeared, on the contrary, he felt soothed, and there was even a strange kind of affectionate familiarity that came into his heart, and even the weeds beside the city gates looked so lovely at the moment, just like… …back home.
