Yushi was manipulated by Xiaoran for a long time, and his anger had already reached its peak. Xiaoran was studying his acupoints, and during this process, Yushi gained a deeper understanding of Xiaoran's true qi.
He thought of several strategies to counter Xiaoran!
Moreover, Xiaoran's Longsheng Qi had healed his previous injuries!
He was certain that Xiaoran had no hidden moves on him and did not believe that Xiaoran could uncover the secrets of the Bingxuan Force in just ten moves, so he immediately attacked Xiaoran!
The temperature in the room suddenly dropped, and ice crystals danced in the air. Yushi's hair and beard stood on end as he roared and struck Xiaoran with a palm. The Bingxuan Force layered upon itself, like steel forged by a skilled craftsman.
Since he couldn't win by the changes in true qi, he compressed his true qi layer by layer, concentrating it to the extreme, and with a fearless attitude, he decided to fight Xiaoran head-on!
He didn't believe he couldn't last ten moves!
But Yushi didn't know that Xiaoran had left extremely weak true qi in the finest capillaries of his body, so weak that Yushi couldn't feel it!
Xiaoran had imitated a characteristic of the Heavenly Demon Great Technique, the nature of true qi!
As soon as Yushi's true qi moved, Xiaoran could sense how it operated and which acupoints it used, as if it were a live demonstration!
After reaching the third level of Qi cultivation, a martial artist's true qi could leave the body and attach to other objects!
Xiaoran raised his hand and fought with Yushi. After ten moves, Yushi was sealed at the acupoints and fell to the ground in dejection!
After defeating Yushi, Xiaoran opened the door and went to eat with others!
This time, only Shan Meixian and her daughter accompanied Xiaoran for the meal. When Shan Meixian saw Xiaoran come, she smiled lightly and said, "I heard Yushi was wailing in your room. I wonder what method you used, Xiaoran!"
Shan Wanqing looked at Xiaoran with a strange expression, thinking he was a pervert who enjoyed torturing others!
For people in the martial world, drawing swords and killing over a disagreement or clashing swords over conflicts of interest were common, but tormenting a defeated enemy was considered despicable!
Xiaoran complained, "I was just exchanging martial arts insights with Yushi. Do you think I enjoy listening to a man scream for a long time?"
Shan Wanqing's face turned red, and she spat, "I thought you were a gentleman, but I didn't expect you to be..."
She was too embarrassed to say the rest!
Xiaoran said seriously, "I'm not a gentleman. No girl likes a gentleman; it's almost the same as a 'good guy card'!
I've received too many good guy cards back home, and I don't want another one from Wanqing..."
In the original story, Xiaoran actually didn't like Shan Wanqing because she had a princess complex, and he always kept his distance from such girls!
But people have many sides. In front of the Twin Dragons, she could be domineering, but in front of Xiaoran, she unconsciously lost that aura because Xiaoran's strength was too high, which was a difference in status!
Shan Meixian and her daughter didn't know what a 'good guy card' was, but they could guess. Shan Meixian smiled lightly and said, "You are indeed interesting!
But where is your hometown?"
Xiaoran thought of his home on Earth and wondered how his parents were doing. He felt a bit melancholic and sighed, "I've been away from home for a long time, a very long time!
My home is different from the Great Sui, with skyscrapers reaching the clouds and cars running around the streets without the need for animal power..."
The two women exchanged glances, thinking Xiaoran was just making things up because he didn't want to say!
Shan Wanqing puffed up her cheeks and said, "Running around without animal power, even the legendary wooden ox and flowing horse can't do that. You are indeed not a gentleman..."
Seeing Shan Wanqing's cute expression, Xiaoran's melancholy disappeared, and he laughed, "The Confucian ideal is to cultivate gentlemen, but nine out of ten are fake. Gentlemen are rare, and I can't achieve that!"
He hummed "Hometown Clouds" by Fei Xiang, feeling nostalgic but in a different mood!
Shan Wanqing's eyes suddenly lit up, "This song is very special, but it also sounds very beautiful. Is this a song from your hometown?"
Xiaoran nodded!
Shan Wanqing said, "Do you like music? I know that soon, the great scholar Wang Tong will invite Qingxuan to perform. My family also received an invitation from Old Wang. Why don't we go together?
I've heard that Qingxuan's flute skills are unparalleled, and the music can linger for three days!"
Xiaoran's eyes also lit up. In his time on Earth, ancient Chinese music had almost been lost, and now he had a chance to experience it. He couldn't miss it!
He was quite fond of music and movies!
Shan Meixian saw her daughter getting closer to Xiaoran and felt uneasy. Her daughter was excellent, but Xiaoran was too extraordinary and not a good match.
Marriage should be between people of similar status and background!
Shan Meixian subtly changed the topic, and the three of them talked about music and martial arts. Shan Meixian said, "Your martial arts are so high, but I wonder who your master is?
Yushi said you used the Evil King's Illusory Demon Body Technique and the Immortal Seal, but I know it's not true!"
Shan Meixian was a direct descendant of the demonic sect, and with Zhu Yuyan and Shi Zhixuan as her enemies, she was more familiar with the Immortal Seal and the Illusory Demon Body Technique than Yushi, and she didn't misidentify them!
Xiaoran said, "My martial arts are half self-taught and half self-created, with no remarkable lineage.
I forgot that you are also from the demonic sect. I'm very curious about the Heavenly Demon Great Technique. Can we practice together when you have time?"
Shan Meixian's face immediately changed because the Yin Kui Sect had left her with a deep shadow. Her first night had been forcibly taken by Bian Bufe, and Zhu Yuyan had prevented her from seeking revenge, which led her to betray the Yin Kui Sect!
Her hatred was so deep that even the waters of the four seas could not wash it away!
If it weren't for Bian Bufe's high martial arts and the background of the Yin Kui Sect, Shan Meixian would have already used all her strength to kill him!
Xiaoran realized he had said something wrong and changed the topic to music!
After the meal, a big wave suddenly arose at night. Xiaoran, feeling inspired, made a surfboard and surfed in the sea, which left the people of the Dongming Sect, who grew up by the sea, amazed, thinking that city people were really good at playing!
This encouraged others to follow, and they had a great time!
At night, Shan Wanqing chatted with Xiaoran on the deck. Looking at the stars in the sky, she said, "Mother was very unhappy today!"
Xiaoran said, "I noticed. I must have said something wrong. I'm really sorry!"
Shan Wanqing looked at Xiaoran's face and suddenly said, "It's not your fault!
Xiaoran, your martial arts are the highest I've ever seen!
Can you help me kill Bian Bufe?
As long as Bian Bufe is alive, Mother will never be happy!
If you help me kill Bian Bufe, I can..."
Xiaoran placed a finger on her lips and said, "Don't say that a man will do something for you, and you will do something in return...
Actually, I don't like that feeling either. It's like a transaction."
After saying this, Xiaoran released his hand, and the warm and moist feeling lingered, making his heart flutter. Was it time for him to find a girlfriend?
When did he start to attract girls, and a girl even approached him? Shan Wanqing's face turned slightly red, and she turned away, whispering, "I'm not like that..."
Xiaoran put his arm around Shan Wanqing's shoulder and whispered, "It's okay, I understand..."
Shan Wanqing's body trembled. No man had ever put his arm around her shoulder, but she didn't push Xiaoran away and didn't feel repulsed!
Reality told Xiaoran that even a girl with a princess complex could become gentle and dependent when in front of a man she admired!
Shang Ming, Shan Wanqing's fiancé, watched the two of them closely and felt a deep hatred, but thinking of Xiaoran's unpredictable skills, he slunk back to his room!
(Sorry, I can't do three updates today. I managed to do two!
Let Xiaoran have a good night to charm girls and build up his energy for tomorrow's battles!
I really struggle with writing romance; I have no experience!)
