Chapter 138: A Rare Tyrant In The World
In this world, there are many intriguing skills, and the booklet in Lu Xun's hands contains the most miraculous technique of today.
"Using hardness to overcome hardness, using strengthening to strengthen."
"I feel like it's similar to my Iron Defense Wall but it also compensates for the fatal flaw of the third stage of the defense wall." Lu Xun looked at the booklet in his hands and couldn't help but mutter to himself, "If I truly master this, would I be qualified to challenge the big demoness?"
Although he shared a bed with the big demoness, he has only been able to talk eloquently. However, even that caused Lu Xun significant psychological and physical trauma, often waking up with a twisted mouth and narrowed eyes, making life unbearable.
At this moment, a phrase flashed through his mind: "My Iron Crotch is invincible."
"Hehehe."
Lu Xun chuckled like a fool, his mind filled with images of invincibility. Not only could he defeat the big demoness, but even if the little fox and the two demon sisters joined forces, he could easily handle them. If possible, he'd even invite the the little fox to test it out. Let the three demonesses experience the might of Immortal Lu Xun!
Daydreaming aside, Lu Xun began to earnestly study the technique. As he carefully read and gradually understood the principles within, he realized that this booklet used something called "jin."
What is "jin"? The book explained it as a kind of strength that is flexible and not easily broken.
"Flexible and unyielding jin?"
"It turns out the answer is actually on the surface of the puzzle. It seems like I've become a bit of a failure in learning," Lu Xun said thoughtfully, tilting his head. He began to contemplate how to utilize this "jin" – concentrating force at a certain point in the body was easy, but how could he move this "jin"?
After some thought, Lu Xun attempted to concentrate his entire body's energy into two of his fingers. Subsequently, he discovered an unexplainable force within his body and tried to move it to his other two fingers. Surprisingly, he succeeded.
The fingers on his right hand became extremely rigid, displaying a formidable presence, while those on his left hand, though not as hard as the right, were firm and flexible.
"No wonder…"
"This hint indicated that I couldn't concentrate ‘qi' at a certain point because it was too rigid and prone to breaking." Lu Xun sighed.
Removing the energy and jin from his left and right hands, Lu Xun focused solely on gathering the jin. He looked at his lower body began his great experiment, but during the first attempt, he felt a bit nervous. What if he broke it? There was nowhere to get replacement parts.
"…"
"Everything here is made of original parts. If I damage something….can't just use aftermarket parts, right? The key is whether it will work or not." Lu Xun felt somewhat disheartened and anxious. But in the end, he gathered his courage and made a slight shift.
Was it effective?
It seemed like he didn't feel anything.
Lu Xun slowly moved his jin, bit by bit, until he sensed a change in his body. It felt a bit warm, but he hadn't noticed any other sensations.
After some contemplation and calm analysis, Lu Xun released the jin and tried moving it to his tongue. His purpose wasn't to impress the big demoness but to unlock new techniques, such as the famous Lion Roar.
"Liyaliyaliya—"
"Six slippery snails slid slowly southward, singing silly songs to savor succulent strawberries."
Hiss! My articulation has improved!
Lu Xun was amazed, realizing that he had become more agile. Once upon a time, tongue twisters were an everlasting wound, but now his speech was incredibly fluid.
Picking up the booklet placed on the table, he flipped through its contents again and realized that it wasn't a joke but something with real potential. If he applied this to his sword techniques, it might make them smoother.
"Or…"
"Should I challenge her tonight?" Lu Xun pursed his lips, recalling the big demoness's enchanting beauty. There was a slight stirring in his heart, but it quickly subsided. He knew that attempting to challenge the big demoness with her terrifying cultivation could result in his demise. He needed to proceed step by step. If he succeeded in this challenge, he could move on to the next. Rushing through this process would be counterproductive.
Lu Xun glanced at the window and complained inwardly, "Why is it still so bright outside? I can't wait any longer."
Back in the palace, Zhao Yueyan went to find her younger sister, Zhao Qiuyu.
At that moment, Zhao Qiuyu was embroidering, and her magnificent attire gave her a slight curve at the waist, which was delicate and graceful. Although her shapely figure was not very visible in the dress, it hinted at her fullness.
Zhao Yueyan, on the other hand, exuded an imperial aura, with a tall posture and slender legs. Both sisters had exceptional figures, and their graceful appearances had driven many men in the world to infatuation. However, their special status made it incredibly difficult for anyone to win their hearts.
"Sister Yueyan." Seeing her sister, Zhao Qiuyu put down her embroidery and smiled softly. "You look so tired. Did you slip out of the palace again today?"
"Yes, I went to see him," Zhao Yueyan replied, taking a seat across from Qiuyu. The considerate Qiuyu handed her a cup of tea.
"Oh."
"What did you need from him, Sister Yueyan?" Zhao Qiuyu asked curiously.
Zhao Yueyan sipped the tea and looked at her younger sister. She slowly said, "Just some trivial matters. You don't need to know. But, I've noticed something strange about this person. He's supposed to be so noble, but he seems just like an ordinary person."
"Noble?" Zhao Qiuyu wore a puzzled expression, her eyes fixed on her sister. Her expression revealed a desire to know.
"Did I not tell you?" Zhao Yueyan hesitated for a moment, realizing that she hadn't mentioned Lu Xun's identity to her sister. She cleared her throat and continued, "I can't reveal his identity. In short, he is a very powerful existence, a rare tyrant in the world."
Zhao Qiuyu tilted her head, trying to recall the man. He didn't seem like someone who should be a tyrant. Apart from his impressive appearance, he seemed rather ordinary.
"By the way…"
"He has two wives," Zhao Yueyan suddenly mentioned.
"Ah!"
"Two wives?" Zhao Qiuyu looked at her in astonishment but quickly regained her composure. She said calmly, "Actually, that's not unusual. Our elder brothers have several wives as well."
Could that even compare? The women associated with their elder brothers were rather ordinary, while one of this man's wives was the thousand-year-old big demoness, Immortal Miao Feng, and the other is suspected to be the contemporary immortal, Su Jingyi.
Zhao Yueyan pursed her lips, the words she wanted to say lingering on her tongue. She didn't know how to express herself, so she quietly swallowed her words and mumbled, "Qiuyu, this man's wife is not an ordinary person. I can't go into details with you. If there's a chance in the future, you'll understand my concerns when you meet her."
"…"
"Not an ordinary person? Could it be a demoness?" Zhao Qiuyu said half-jokingly.
As soon as she said that, Zhao Qiuyu was surprised to see that her sister had an unsure expression on her face. Her heart skipped a beat as she asked in amazement, "Is it really a demoness?"
"This…"
Zhao Yueyan said squeakingly, "I didn't say that. It's something you thought of yourself."
This response revealed everything, and Zhao Qiuyu was deeply shocked. Love between humans and demons was a grave taboo, and this man seemed to be defying convention.
"Isn't he afraid of being discovered by righteous cultivators and hunted down?" Zhao Qiuyu asked.
Hunted down? It was more likely that all the righteous cultivators would be killed by the thousand-year-old demoness Miao Feng.
Moreover, the most formidable righteous cultivator, Su Jingyi, was probably one of his other wives.
"No one can kill him," Zhao Yueyan replied.
That powerful?
Zhao Qiuyu was somewhat skeptical but also became more curious about the man. A man daring to defy the heavens seemed to have a certain charm.
…
"It's getting dark."
"I should probably head back." Immortal Miao Feng stood up and said to Su Jingyi, who was in front of her.
Two of today's unparalleled experts, occupying the first and second positions, had been chatting from morning till evening. Although their conversations were few and brief, often just a few sentences, Immortal Miao Feng and Su Jingyi felt a hint of warmth. However, their close relationship didn't prevent them from having a friendly fight.
"Going to see your little lover?" Su Jingyi asked casually.
"Yes." Immortal Miao Feng didn't hide it and admitted openly.
"You have no shame, actually admitting it," Su Jingyi rolled her eyes at the friend and foe. She then said with a slight smile, "On the eighth day of next month, in the Yomi Mountain Range, you and I should have a good fight. It's been a long time since we sparred."
"Alright."
Immortal Miao Feng agreed and then left the place without looking back.
Watching her departing figure, Su Jingyi furrowed her brows, deep in thought. Were these days with a man really so enjoyable?
"Hmph. I won't be as easily won over by a man like you." Su Jingyi muttered to herself.
Immortal Miao Feng quickly returned to the inn. Her concealment technique had caused a significant change in her appearance, making her once voluptuous figure appear ordinary. With a veil covering her face, she deterred anyone from looking at her.
She arrived at a certain room, gently knocked on the door, and then tried to push it open. With a creaking sound, the wooden door swung open effortlessly.
Entering the room, she locked the door bolt and looked around the empty space. Turning toward the bedroom, she saw clothes on the floor and her little thief lying in the quilt. The scoundrel's appearance delighted her.
"Sister, I've already taken a bath," Lu Xun said with a grin.
Immortal Miao Feng's cheeks on both sides were burning, and there was a hint of excitement and anticipation.
Tonight, the little thief seemed well-behaved.
