72 -71: A Young Girl Always Harbors Feelings of Spring
“Don’t fall for me, I’m just a legend!”
Seeing Moo Xi staring at him like a lovesick girl, Li Chen casually patted her little head.
Moo Xi, like a little student who got caught by the teacher doing something wrong, blushed and murmured quietly,
“Really full of yourself, who fell for you?”
Li Chen gave a slight smile and stopped paying attention to her, turning his gaze towards Max instead.
“Expert, if I remember correctly, you just said that if the old man could come back to life, you would livestream yourself eating crap, right?”
Max’s face turned red and he stuttered without being able to utter a complete sentence.
“I, I…”
Before he could finish, Li Chen gestured to him with a snap of his fingers.
“OK, I know you’re a man of your word; you definitely won’t go back on it and get fat from it!”
After saying this, without waiting for Max to respond, he turned to Liann Ruifeng,
“Mr.
Liann, do you have any fresh crap here?
Prepare a bowl for this expert and treat him well!”
Liann Ruifeng had long found this so-called expert disagreeable.
Hearing what Li Chen said, he subconsciously glanced at Old Sir Moo.
Seeing that Old Sir Moo showed no signs of stopping him, he smiled and nodded, “Yes, I’ve been having a stomach upset these days.
I’ll personally go take a crap later to entertain our grand expert!”
After Liann Ruifeng took Max down for the livestream of eating crap, Old Sir Moo looked at Li Chen with expectant eyes.
“Master Li, I heard from Little Xi that you can repair the ‘Sticking To Old Ways’?”
Li Chen nodded and said, “I can, but…”
He paused there, and instead of continuing, he gave Moo Hee a meaningful look, signaling him to volunteer the rest of the sentence.
Having lived for so long, Moo Hee naturally picked up on the hinted message.
“Master Li, I have a villa in Cloud Mist Mountain.
If you don’t mind, please consider it as a payment for repairing the cultivation technique!”
Seeing Moo Hee being so tactful, Li Chen nodded in approval.
Then, he pointed at Moo Xi and said, “Little girl, follow me to the backyard.
I’ll teach you the remaining three moves of ‘Sticking To Old Ways’!”
Moo Xi’s eyes widened in surprise: “Teaching me?”
Li Chen nodded and said, “Yes, but if you don’t want to learn, then never mind.”
Moo Xi repeatedly nodded like a pecking chick, “Want to, want to, who said I didn’t want to learn?”
Watching his granddaughter and Li Chen bicker like joyous foes, Old Sir Moo squinted his eyes and grinned.
Moo Xi and Li Chen standing together truly seemed like a match made by heaven, a perfect pair.
If the two of them could really form a relationship, Little Xi would be looked after, and their Moo Family’s overall strength could also climb to a new level.
If it could really happen, he could die content.
…
In the backyard, flowers bloomed splendidly, petals scattered in beauty!
Li Chen pointed to a spot and said to Moo Xi, “Little girl, perform ‘Sticking To Old Ways’ first.”
Moo Xi rolled her eyes and pouted, “Don’t call me little girl!”
Li Chen shrugged, “Alright then, big girl!”
“Ah!”
Moo Xi got somewhat exasperated but could do nothing about it.
In verbal spars, she was no match for Li Chen.
In physical fights, well, even less so than in verbal spars!
Now, she even started to suspect that this Li Chen was specifically sent by the heavens to be her vexing adversary.
Although discontent, Moo Xi still followed Li Chen’s instructions and performed ‘Sticking To Old Ways.’
She practiced very seriously, striving to perfect every movement.
When she finished, Moo Xi stared at Li Chen with her big sparkling eyes, full of anticipation for his praise.
However, Li Chen, quite unromantically, shook his head.
“The accuracy is okay, but the speed needs improvement.
The strength is also lacking, and there are too many flaws!”
Hearing Li Chen criticize her prideful performance as worthless, Moo Xi felt extremely wronged and pouted, very unconvinced, “Hmph, you say my practice wasn’t good, then show me a better one!”
The corners of Li Chen’s mouth lifted slightly, a devilish smile playing on his lips.
“Little girl, open your eyes wide and watch closely!”
Before the words even settled, Li Chen picked up a bamboo sword and began to move swiftly.
His movements were swift, like a meteor chasing the moon, dazzlingly fast.
Li Chen’s flow-like actions astonished Moo Xi so much that her mouth hung open, her pretty face spelling out four words: Incredible disbelief!
Li Chen sheathed his sword and raised an eyebrow proudly asking, “Little girl, how about that?”
Before Moo Xi could respond, Old Sir Moo beside her began to clap vigorously with his bony hands.
“Brilliant, absolutely brilliant!
Master Li’s methods transcend the mundane, turning decay into magic, ten times better than Little Xi!”
Hearing her grandfather’s praise for Li Chen, Moo Xi pouted in dissatisfaction.
“Grandpa, he’s not ten times better than me, at most just two or three times!”
No sooner had she spoken, than she realized her words might be inappropriate, so she quickly covered her mouth with her little hand, staring with her sparkling big eyes, first at her grandfather and then at Li Chen, looking both coy and cute.
Seeing this, Old Sir Moo stroked his silvery beard and burst into laughter.
“Humph, bad grandpa, always laughing at others, I’m ignoring you!”
Moo Xi huffed arrogantly, her shy and playful demeanor fully exposed.
Old Sir Moo gave a reassured smile and gestured towards Li Chen, saying, “Master Li has practiced the ‘Sticking To Old Ways’ to perfection.
May I ask, had you studied this technique before?”
Li Chen shook his head and casually pointed at Moo Xi, saying nonchalantly, “No, I just watched this little girl practice it a couple of times!”
Hearing Li Chen’s response, both Old Sir Moo and Moo Xi were taken aback.
Li Chen’s gaze was clear, neither wavering nor showing signs of deceit.
Old Sir Moo was astounded by Li Chen’s nearly demonic talent.
He then remembered, this young man had already become an Innate Grandmaster at eighteen, and he held him in even higher regard.
After all, Huaxia’s foremost practitioner Li Lingtian only broke through his limits and advanced to the Innate Realm after the age of twenty.
And Li Chen had achieved this two or three years earlier; given time, his achievements could be no less than those of Li Lingtian.
This boy is truly no ordinary individual, destined to transform into a dragon amidst the winds and clouds!
In contrast, Moo Xi was much less awed by Li Chen.
She had thought her martial arts talent was exceptional, perhaps not one in ten thousand, but certainly top-tier.
Yet, in front of Li Chen, her martial arts talent… seemed utterly pathetic.
Indeed, it could be said: “Comparing oneself to others will only lead to despair!”
Amidst Moo Xi’s thoughts, Li Chen’s loud voice suddenly rang out.
“Little girl, now I will teach you the last three moves of this technique through sparring!”
Moo Xi quickly focused and blinked, asking, “Good, what should I do?”
Li Chen thought for a moment, then pointed at the bamboo sword in Moo Xi’s hand, saying, “Attack me with the sword!”
Moo Xi paused briefly, then nodded and thrust the bamboo sword towards Li Chen.
Facing Moo Xi’s fierce attack, Li Chen stood in place, unflinching, exuding an air as if “sitting calmly amidst the storm at a fishing dock.”
As Moo Xi charged towards Li Chen, she shouted.
“Watch the sword!”
Li Chen countered with his sword, drawing a circle in the air.
“First move: Drawing the ground as a prison, heaven doesn’t hide the deceitful!”
In an instant, Moo Xi felt dizzy, her arms and legs bound, unable to muster any strength.
It was a desperate feeling like a bee trapped in a spider’s web, struggling frantically.
“Second move: The world turns white, only I remain dark!”
With the second move Li Chen thrust, the world momentarily changed color, going white all around, while he transformed into a flowing dark stroke, sweeping towards Moo Xi like an autumn wind over fallen leaves.
Under Li Chen’s attack, Moo Xi was like a lamb to the slaughter, utterly powerless.
“Third move: Non-aggression Moo Sect, love all life equally!”
Swiftly, Li Chen executed the last and most spectacular move of ‘Sticking To Old Ways.’
Moo Xi felt her body fly out like a kite with a broken string, falling hard to the ground.
Just as she was about to land, Li Chen leaped into the air, his toe lightly touching like a dragonfly skimming water, and deftly caught her slender waist.
At this moment, Moo Xi was completely overwhelmed by Li Chen’s divine skills.
Looking at his chiseled profile, her heart fluttered wildly, suddenly feeling as if a tiny deer was prancing about inside, her heartbeat thundering.
Her pretty face turned flush, even her ears burnt hot, almost as if they would bleed.
Wasn’t this the prince charming she’d been eagerly seeking?
Could it be that Li Chen was her destined other half?
…
As I wrote this chapter, Little Le had to dig up some information about the Spring and Autumn Moo Family, and it was like squeezing toothpaste.
Not asking for votes here, I’m face-palming and vanishing.
Heading to bed, good night!
