BXBX NOVEL Chapter 172: Fruit flavoured fragrant tea
The prairie sword turned into a beam of flames as it swept across Qin Yan’s Dragon Scale Martial Spirit’s shield, but it only left a single slash on it. Qin Yan’s fierce counterattack left a groove in Lin Mu Yu’s gourd wall, but that was quickly restored by battle qi which had the restorative effect.
Qin Yan’s Fire Snake Spear was suited for large scale fighting, seeming very reckless, but having something hidden behind the attacks. Each attack had a backhand, so even though Lin Mu Yu avoided the first attack, he couldn’t avoid the second one. His attacks landing on Lin Mu Yu surpassed the number of attacks Lin Mu Yu landed on him.
But Lin Mu Yu draw support on the skills of the gourd martial spirit. His recovery skill continued to drain him, causing Qin Yan’s Dragon Scale Armour to be tattered and torn.
“Alright……”
Qin Yan sent Lin Mu Yu back with a stab of his spear before letting out a long breath. He was laughing as he waved his hand and said, “My battle qi has already been exhausted. Big brother Lin Mu Yu really is strong, no wonder big brother said your strength was not below his!”
“Oh? Big brother Qin Lei said that?”
“Yes. He and commander Feng Ji Xing have a very high appraisal of you, considering you the number one talent and the one with the highest perception of the imperial capital’s youths. Perhaps…..You might become the strongest person in Orchid Goose City in the future.”
“It’s like this…..” Lin Mu Yu rubbed his nose and said in a somewhat embarrassed voice, “I’m not that strong, otherwise I wouldn’t be almost killed time and time again.”
Qin Yan broke out in laughter, “But doesn’t the danger turn into safety in the end? This is your proof of strength!”
“Alright, little prince Qin Yan, I’m going to the Falcon’s Nest.”
“Un, I send big brother off.”
“Alright.”
Qin Yan saw Lin Mu Yu off from the temple, making those temple guards outside shocked. The respected second son of the Peaceful Step King was actually sending Lin Mu Yu off. This treatment was not given to others, so they couldn’t help feeling more awe towards the temple’s number one sparring master. Actually the people in the temple were already filled with awe. In the competition just now, Lin Mu Yu had clearly won and in many people’s hearts, the number one sparring master was stronger than the number one teacher. Lin Mu Yu’s strength was strong enough for him to be considered a freak!
When he returned to the Falcon’s Nest, he tried to refine the Nine Heavens Spiritual Iron again, but had no success.
All the way until deep at night, Lin Mu Yu had tried countless times. His face was a bit pale. Lulu flew onto his shoulder and said, “Big brother, how about giving up? This isn’t a method…..”
Lin Mu Yu was very weak as he sat down with a nod.
At this time, Wei Chou’s voice came from outside, “Sir commander, princess Tang Xiao Xi is here to see you!”
“Oh, Xiao Tang is here?”
Lin Mu Yu’s heart felt warm as he quickly stood up to walk out. Today’s night sky was not good, no moon or stars, just pure darkness. Outside, under the light of the torches, Tang Xiao Xi was dismounting her horse. She was smiling as she walked over, but when she saw Lin Mu Yu’s face, she couldn’t help being stunned, “Mu Mu, what happened to you? Is it because you haven’t recovered from your injuries from Deer Cry Court…..”
“It isn’t.” Lin Mu Yu shook his head.
Tang Xiao Xi pursed her little lips as she took out a handkerchief to help him wipe the sweat off his forehead before saying, “I’ve been stuck in the duke’s manor these past few days cultivating, I never thought that all these things would have happened. I’m really sorry…..”
Lin Mu Yu couldn’t help smiling, “Xiao Xi, why are you apologizing? You haven’t done anything wrong to anyone.”
“No, but I…..should have come seen you earlier.”
“Ha, this…..” Lin Mu Yu instantly felt speechless.
“Are you not asking me in to sit down?” Tang Xiao Xi asked with a smile.
“Alright.”
Lin Mu Yu moved aside and Tang Xiao Xi ordered her guards to wait outside before moving into Lin Mu Yu’s dwelling. Wei Chou followed behind and asked with an ambiguous smile on his face, “Sir, do you need this subordinate to prepare anything?”
His smiling face deserved to be punched. Lin Mu Yu stared at him and said, “Prepare what? What is with your smiling face, do you want to prepare a box of durexs for me?”
Wei Chou was stunned, “What are durexs…..”
Tang Xiao Xi was also stunned. She asked with a smile, “Mu Mu, what…..is that?”
Lin Mu Yu scratched his head, hating himself for saying this. He said in an awkward voice, “It’s a kind of tea leaves from my hometown. It’s very silky…..and is in various fruit flavours. Hei…..Hei…..”
Tang Xiao Xi narrowed her beautiful eyes as she said with a smile, “Humph, looking at your lying appearance, I really want to punch you, but…..Is there really fruit flavoured tea? If you have time, you must let me try it…..”
Looking at Tang Xiao Xi’s beautiful face, Lin Mu Yu couldn’t help thinking of some extra things. He nodded and said, “Ke, ke…..If there is a chance, if you’re willing…..”
Tang Xiao Xi laughed, “Hee, hee, what are you saying? Why wouldn’t I be willing?”
Wei Chou stood on the side in a daze, “Then sir, did you want this subordinate to prepare some snacks and fragrant tea for you and princess Tang?”
“Un, go ahead!”
“Yes, sir!”
Although Lin Mu Yu’s room was very spacious, there weren’t any decorations. Other than a single table and some chairs, there was just a single bed. After Tang Xiao Xi “looked” around the room, she sat down on the bed. With a smile, she said, “Mu Mu…..your room, there is nothing good about it other than your soft bed…..”
“The bed……As long as you sleep well, it’s fine.”
Lin Mu Yu suppressed the urge to invite Tang Xiao Xi to feel the bed. After all, this world was much more serious and it wasn’t his world where he could joke around. It would be bad if Tang Xiao Xi went crazy.
Tang Xiao Xi laughed and said, “Are you very nervous?”
“I’m not.”
“Then why aren’t you coming over and sitting down?”
“Oh, alright…..”
“I’m saying sit down beside me!”
“Ah, alright……”
Lin Mu Yu obediently sat down on the bed as his heart filled with emotions. At this time, Wei Chou walked in with a plate of fruits and some warmed wine, but he couldn’t help being stunned, “Ah…..Am I disturbing you guys!”
“You weren’t…..” Tang Xiao Xi’s clear and calm eyes were opened wide as she spoke with a harmless smile.
Lin Mu Yu said in a hinting voice, “Wei Chou, put the stuff down and you can leave.”
“Yes!”
Wei Chuou turned around and rushed out.
With a man and a woman being alone in a room, the atmosphere was a bit awkward. Tang Xiao Xi’s body exuded a faint fragrance that tested one’s patience. Lin Mu Yu was a hot blooded man after all, how could he endure this kind of enticement? He quickly cycled the Spiritual Pulse Technique, but at this moment, Tang Xiao Xi was also very nervous. Her beautiful face flushed as she said, “I…..I shouldn’t have come tonight, right?”
“No it’s not like that…..”
Lin Mu Yu revealed a faint smile, “Xiao Xi, what level have you reached recently?”
“Wu…..I’m almost at the peak of the Third Earth Realm Tier……Old Qu has been coming over to teach me cultivation, so my progress has been much faster, but I still can’t break through to the Heaven Realm. The 5000 year old fire spirit stone you brought back from your patrol is still there, I’ll use it when I break through to the Heaven Realm.”
“It’s like this…..” Lin Mu Yu stood up and poured a cup of wine for Tang Xiao Xi as he said, “Have some wine to warm yourself up. Xiao Xi’s cultivation speed is very fast, much faster than I imagined!”
Tang Xiao Xi also stood up and said with an unconvinced smile, “What, could it be that I am a pampered and lazy princess in your mind?”
“Of course not! Xiao Xi is the strongest…..”
“Humph!”
Tang Xiao Xi drank a cup of wind and her face became even more red. She suddenly asked, “Mu Mu, when you saved Xiao Yin in Deer Cry Court, did she…..did she…..”
She stuttered for a while and did not say anything.
Lin Mu Yu’s heart beated faster as he asked, “Did Xiao Yin do what?”
Tang Xiao Xi’s face was completely flushed and Lin Mu Yu could even feel the heat coming from it. She stuttered for a while before saying, “Did she tell you that she loved you?”
“No…..No she didn’t…..” Lin Mu Yu felt very awkward.
“Then that’s good…..” Tang Xiao Xi looked like she was very relieved. Pursing her lips into a smile, she said, “Mu Mu, after you became the commander of the Falcon’s Nest, are you busy with military affairs?”
Lin Mu Yu spread his hands, “Does it look like I’m busy with military affairs?”
“It doesn’t…..”
“Then that’s right. I gave everything to Wei Chou, Xiahou Sang, and the other Imperial Guards to take care of.”
“Humph, even treating a commander position like this, there really only is you that would do this…..”
“Is that so?” Lin Mu Yu looked at her and said, “It sounds like you’re very diligent. Do you want to come here to try supervising the training of a thousand people and giving everyone their orders?”
Tang Xiao Xi laughed, “I don’t want to……”
Seeing her smile that was as beautiful as a flower, Lin Mu Yu’s heart kept beating fast. He was almost unable to control himself when he heard the sound of thunder from outside.
“There’s thunder, it’s about to rain…..” Tang Xiao Xi said while blinking.
Lin Mu Yu revealed a faint smile, “There are rooms in the Falcon’s Nest. If it really rains, you can just stay overnight in the Falcon’s Nest.”
Tang Xiao Xi revealed a bad smile, “Then does that mean something will happen?”
“What will happen?” Lin Mu Yu said righteously.
Tang Xiao Xi pursed her little lips, “Yo, your words really make people disappointed……”
“You…..I can’t chat with you…..”
Lin Mu Yu was disturbed, he was actually sexually harassed by Tang Xiao Xi. It seemed like the women of this world……seemed to have a lot of love. They were more active than he imagined.
“Hua la……”
Opening up an umbrella, Lin Mu Yu said, “Xiao Xi, do you want to watch the thunderstorm with me?”
“Un.”
This was a winter thunderstorm with large amounts of rain falling down on Falcon Nest Mountain, causing the flames in the torches to flicker. Wei Chou shouted in the distance, “Hey, you lazybones, pay attention to the oil in the torches. Don’t let the flames in the torches burn out or else father will beat your asses!”
Tang Xiao Xi revealed a faint smile. She tightened her cloak before walking beside Lin Mu Yu while tightly holding his arm.
