chapter 29
What’s that saying again?
Life is just about wanting to control you, and since you can’t resist, you might as well lie down and enjoy it.
Hmph, lying down is impossible.
Here is the translation of the novel excerpt:
It’s true that Lin Mo is being treated like a XXOO in a certain sense, so he has to rise up and resist.
Since the boat has already sailed, at least the initiative should be in Lin Mo’s hands.
When Yan Ru Yu saw Lin Mo change from passive to active, her originally calm face finally showed a hint of unusual color.
To be honest, although she has already surpassed a hundred years, this is the first time she has done something like this, and it’s not nervous to say so.
As she watched the other party’s actions become more proficient, she even used various techniques that made her feel embarrassed.
You know, she is the Saint Maiden of the Underworld, and in that territory, things like this are almost commonplace.
Although she said she is a virgin, she is also knowledgeable about theoretical knowledge.
Who doesn’t know that Lin Mo’s techniques are unprecedented, even for her?
Moreover, she discovered that Lin Mo’s yuan yang is still present, which means he is also a novice.
This is what makes Yan Ru Yu feel unbelievable.
She didn’t know that Lin Mo is indeed a novice, but in his past life, he was a modern person, and he has seen countless things.
Those island country teachers who taught him were not teaching empty theories.
Haven’t you ever heard the phrase “haven’t eaten pork yet, haven’t seen a pig run”?
This battle, Lin Mo is triumphant…
On the other side…
Xia He returned to the inn and learned from the store clerk that Jiang Yue Lou is a place for fireflies.
At this time, she also understood why the girls there were so reckless.
Xia He slapped the table in anger: “It’s true, Lin Mo has no good intentions, it’s already past 11 o’clock, and he must be preparing to do some shameful things at that firefly place.”
“What kind of shameful things?” Qu Ru Chun asked, chewing on fermented pork ribs.
“It’s… it’s… ” Xia He’s face turned red as she thought about those scenes: “It’s just very disgusting things, that’s all.”
Xie Zhi Qing looked at Xie Zhi An curiously: “Sister, do you know what it is?”
Xie Zhi An smiled: “It’s what we often do at night!”
“You two… ” Xia He looked at the two sisters, as if lightning had struck.
Xie Zhi Qing blushed and lowered her head, not speaking.
On the other hand, Qu Ru Chun was still curious, chasing after Xia He: “Xia Xia, what kind of things are they?”
“Don’t ask too many questions, kids,” Xia He said.
“But I’m older than you…”
Although she knew that Qu Ru Chun was referring to her age, what did it mean to look at her like that?
Xia He changed the subject: “I think we can’t just wait like this anymore.”
“We’ve been in Daling City for three days, and this training task has made no progress at all. Lin Mo said he would lure the snake out of its hole, but I only saw him enjoying himself at the firefly place. Where is the training of the team leader?”
Qu Ruoyan knew nothing but eating.
“We should take the initiative to complete this task. If we keep dragging our feet, what if new victims appear in the city?”
Xie Zhian and Xie Zhiqiu, however, agreed more with Xia He’s words.
After discussing, they prepared to enter Ding Yuanwai’s mansion at night to look for clues to the task.
“Xia Xia, didn’t our senior brother say not to act alone?” Qu Ruoyan spoke up at this moment.
“Ruoyan, do you want to see the townspeople continue to die at the hands of sneaky ghosts?” Xia He asked.
“I don’t!” Qu Ruoyan shook her head.
“Then do you think it’s wrong for us cultivators to act chivalrously and righteously?” Xia He asked again!
“Not at all!”
“Since we know that the clue is in Ding Yuanwai’s mansion, why not prevent more tragedies from happening?”
“But…” Qu Ruoyan didn’t know what to say.
Although Xia He’s words were logical, she just felt something was off. In the end, she chose to act together with the others.
…….
The next day, before dawn, Yan Ruyu was already neatly dressed.
She covered the young man, who was sound asleep, with a blanket. Thinking back to last night’s scene, she couldn’t help but blush again.
Touching her slightly bulging belly and feeling the flow of her spiritual power, Yan Ruyu deduced that she was very likely to conceive.
The door was pushed open, and the maid who had been following Yan Ruyu walked in.
“Holy Maiden, everything is ready. We have to go back today.”
“Mm, let’s set off later.”
Seeing the maid hesitate to speak, Yan Ruyu asked, “Is there something on your mind?”
The maid suddenly burst into tears: “I just feel that you, Holy Maiden, have been wronged…”
“If it weren’t for those old fogeys, you wouldn’t have had to sacrifice yourself to such an unknown, still foundation-building cultivator.”
“As long as it can suppress those old fogeys, otherwise the Demon Realm would be in chaos, such a sacrifice is not a big deal,” Yan Ruyu said.
“But isn’t Nangong Xu’s aptitude better?”
The maid was puzzled. The Talent Assembly was the bait to attract people.
The real purpose was to select those with superior aptitude, so the demon spawn born would be more perfect.
Although Nangong Xu’s pill formation was only seventh-grade, in her opinion, it was still lacking, but at least he was a Heavenly Spirit Root, the most suitable among the candidates.
In her eyes, he was much stronger than this cultivator of similar age who was still in the foundation-building phase.
She admitted that Lin Mo indeed had talent, but talent was not aptitude, and it couldn’t be eaten as food.
Yan Ruyu smiled and said, “Who told you that his aptitude is inferior to Nangong Xu’s?”
The maid suddenly remembered the incessant, blush-inducing noises from last night…
“Saintess, I wasn’t referring to technique…”
Clearly, she had misunderstood.
Yan Ruyu continued, “Do you know that besides the five elements, the Heavenly Spirit Root has other attributes?”
“Saintess, are you saying that Young Master Lin is not only a Heavenly Spirit Root but also a mutated one?”
“Exactly!” Yan Ruyu nodded, “Do you know of the ‘Sword’ Spirit Root?”
The maid’s eyes widened in shock. How could she not know of the ‘Sword’ Spirit Root? The founder of the premier immortal sect, the Spirit Sword Sect, was a ‘Sword’ Spirit Root.
With the aptitude of a Heavenly Spirit Root, if one has the right techniques and resources, reaching the Nascent Soul stage within a hundred years is not too difficult.
And for a mutated Heavenly Spirit Root, the talent is even more exceptional.
But what she didn’t understand was, if Lin Mo was a ‘Sword’ Spirit Root, why was his cultivation only at the Foundation Establishment stage at his age.
Yan Ruyu was puzzled by this as well.
Given her unique status, this trip was a necessity, and coming to the great city of Daliang to choose a suitable partner was out of compulsion.
Had she not met Lin Mo, Nangong Xu would have been her first choice.
After all, Nangong Xu also possessed the aptitude of a Heavenly Spirit Root, and to meet such a person in this place was satisfying enough.
But she never expected to encounter Lin Mo here, a ‘Sword’ Spirit Root that appears once in a millennium.
However, this was also her stroke of luck. Such a talent, fortunately, was still naive and had not grown up. It was also thanks to Lin Mo’s low profile that he hadn’t exposed his aptitude.
If such aptitude were revealed, it would certainly become the target of major sects, vying to cultivate him with all their resources.
How else would she have had the chance to meet him in such a place?
Yan Ruyu turned to look at the Liuli Sword beside Lin Mo.
Noticing the attention, the Liuli Sword became frantic: Don’t see me, don’t see me…
Although Yan Ruyu couldn’t communicate with the Liuli Sword, she could feel the sword spirit within it, as well as its emotions.
She couldn’t help but chuckle, “This sword is not bad either. Although it’s only a lower-grade magical treasure, it possesses a sword spirit. It’s just that the cultivation technique is somewhat lacking.”
With that thought, she suddenly remembered she had a decent ‘Sword Technique’.
If it were him, he should be able to master it and make a name for himself with this sword technique in the world.
