Chapter 84

The first method, not good.

Not to mention that Lin Mu has a special feeling for Shen Bingjiao, akin to that of childhood sweethearts, but even considering her personality, she is not the type who would willingly engage in premarital activities.

What? Force it?

Lin Mu has always despised those who resort to force. Even when watching Japanese dramas, he rarely watches those that involve such acts.

It’s completely devoid of any beauty!

Having a lively and charming girl by his side, using stealth, seduction, or even taking advantage of her while she’s asleep, how thrilling!

Force it? Too low-class!

As for the second method...

Lin Mu stroked his chin, swallowed, rubbed his face, and put on a righteous expression as he walked into the room and sat on the bed.

Su Taohua was engrossed in reading the next chapter of "The侠客行" (The Wandering Swordsman), completely ignoring Lin Mu.

Gathering his courage, Lin Mu was about to extend his "Lushan claws" towards Su Taohua.

"If you dare to touch me, do you think I won’t kick you to death?!" Su Taohua’s voice came softly.

Lin Mu gave an awkward smile and withdrew his hand.

"Since you’ve already become friends, why don’t you let Brother Renzha touch you? From what he said, he hasn’t even kissed you, no wonder he has such a grudge," Lin Mu changed the subject.

Su Taohua stiffened, giving Lin Mu a flirtatious glance, "Testing me? Don’t worry, I’m not that conservative. It’s just that he’s a classmate who keeps pestering me, and I think there’s something wrong with him, so I naturally don’t trust him easily..."

Lin Mu was taken aback and said apologetically, "I overthought it. It turns out Brother Renzha is just like me, not a devoted lover. I criticized him earlier, I feel ashamed..."

"You’re different from him!" Su Taohua said softly.

Lin Mu countered, "How are we different?"

"Just different!"

"..."

"Why have you been so weak against women lately?" Su Taohua suddenly sat on the bed next to Lin Mu.

Lin Mu, who had already calmed down, was once again tempted by her fragrance.

"I’m telling you, stay away from me. In the middle of the night, a man and a woman alone, if I have any bad intentions, you won’t be able to run away!"

Su Taohua’s right hand suddenly moved in a way that can’t be described: "What bad intentions? Like... this...?"

Lin Mu couldn’t help but draw in a cold breath, unable to speak as he looked at Su Taohua beside him.

Su Taohua, her face flushed, forced herself to look bold as she stared at Lin Mu.

"Even though I don’t know what’s been going on with you lately, I’m afraid that if you keep holding back, one day you might suddenly burst out and harm those high school girls you’ve befriended..."

Lin Mu endured, "So you’re offering yourself to the wolf?"

Su Taohua’s lips curled, "Offering myself to the wolf? It should be more like teasing the wolf, right?"

With a sudden force, her hand flipped.

Trembling, Lin Mu couldn’t believe it, stammering, "You... you... you demoness!"

With a flushed face, Su Taohua turned and left.

"Just to make you behave! Consider it a reward for keeping me company tonight! Goodnight."

She left, walking away with a cool demeanor...

Lin Mu covered his face, feeling like a lonely young woman in a Japanese drama, being seduced by a delivery man, even though he was a man, he felt a sense of being toyed with.

Unbeknownst to him, Su Taohua, who had run into her room, also plopped onto the bed, her hands covering her face, trying to calm her burning body.

The strange scent in her nostrils made her body even hotter.

"Why am I being so bold today? Humph, that boy, he’s getting a good deal..."

Hearing the sound of Lin Mu showering again from outside the door, Su Taohua suddenly felt a wicked pleasure, as if her previous actions weren’t so inappropriate.

...

While Lin Mu was suffering and enjoying himself, the domestic martial arts novelists were kept awake all night by his work.

The two intense battles in the Great Snow Mountain, the vivid descriptions of martial arts, were simply too brilliant. The first chapter of "The Wandering Swordsman" also introduced many novel elements.

Most of those who work with words are night owls.

At this time, in rooms of various styles, whether luxurious and spacious or small and messy, the main characters were holding a copy of "Martial Arts Stories" and "The Wandering Swordsman," copying down what they found useful and savoring it.

Some even copied the exciting battle scenes repeatedly, feeling the unique atmosphere in the writing.

Those with deeper martial arts writing skills would organize the martial arts settings and then analyze the underlying logic, some even comparing them to the human meridian diagrams on their desks.

This was clearly inspired by the scene where Di Yun unblocked his Ren and Du meridians, and they had just bought the diagrams.

As for those with less experience in martial arts writing, they would read repeatedly, writing down their insights in their notebooks whenever they had an epiphany.

Writing martial arts novels was their profession, and they couldn’t afford to be careless.

In the new year, the competition for status in the martial arts world was heating up. Everyone was tired of their current positions and wanted to advance.

Naturally, Lin Mu’s novel, the "First in Internal Strength," was studied repeatedly, mixed with their own inspiration, to create even more brilliant works.

...

After the 15th of the first lunar month, Lin Mu’s father left home to return to his job.

Lin Mu repeatedly advised him to finish his work and come back as soon as possible, but his father only smiled and agreed, neither confirming nor denying.

Lin Mu’s mother, however, stayed behind to take care of the elderly and children.

After more than a decade of working away from home, she now had the chance to be with her family, and she was making all kinds of delicious meals every day, far better than the simple fare of the past.

After all, while the elderly could cook, their culinary skills were basic, at best ensuring they weren’t hungry.

...

In a secluded print shop in a small alley, the shop owner handed a large stack of A4 papers to the man in a suit, his eyes filled with curiosity.

Handing over 300 yuan, the man in the suit, seeing the shop owner’s gaze, suddenly became irritated, "What are you looking at! Don’t want to do business? If you don’t, I’ll find someone else! A lousy print shop, what are you showing off for!"

Returning from the capital, he had already accumulated a lot of anger from his interactions with Su Taohua and Lin Mu. The shop owner’s gaze only made him more annoyed.

In his eyes, the residents of this small town in a county-level city were already people he could look down upon.

So what if such "inferior people" annoyed him and he scolded them?

The shop owner chuckled, took the money, and took a satisfying puff of his cigarette, sitting in his chair and looking at him without caring about his increasingly ugly expression.

"What the hell are you still looking at..."

The man in the suit was about to lose his temper when he was rudely interrupted by a man who walked out from the inner room.

"Brother! Who dares to cause trouble in our shop!"

PS: Thanks to Yuzhong Piaofu for the 100 yuan tip.
