How come the celestial technique I stole is so powerful?!

Chapter 412: Chapter 412: Li Xueyi’s Strongly Forced Grace

He simulated the entire process.

He accurately grasped the point of entry.

However, he still underestimated the counterattack of the Mad Spider.

The claws of the Mad Spider were as sharp as knives, almost digging three feet into the ground, be it bluestone or Black Iron Wood, all were crushed under its claws. Countless stones flew, nearly burying him and Li Xueyi alive.

His back endured three heavy blows, each time nearly a hundred pounds of giant stone, the heaviest exceeding a hundred pounds!

Fortunately, his body had significantly improved under the “Flesh Star”.

Luckily, his True Qi was abundant.

He could still breathe under the hundreds of pounds of stone.

The better news was: after venting, the Mad Spider had deviated from the correct position.

The feeling of the mountain collapsing and the ground splitting gradually moved away.

Lin Xiaosu took a deep breath, his gaze slowly shifting downward.

Below, a flawless, beautiful face, which was pale just moments ago, now showed a faint blush.

Their bodies were pressed down by several hundred pounds of stones.

The impact of the stones was borne by Lin Xiaosu’s back.

However, all the weight ultimately transferred to Li Xueyi’s body.

Because she was lying face up, having an intimate encounter with Lin Xiaosu, there was not the slightest gap between their bodies.

Lin Xiaosu felt a peculiar sensation.

Her body was not bony, but had a very mysterious tactile quality.

Firm yet gentle.

This was a perfect blend of two completely different sensations on her.

Their lips were less than a centimeter apart.

“Young Master…” Li Xueyi gently breathed out two words.

With those two words, Lin Xiaosu caught a hint of summer fragrance…

His waist suddenly exerted force, stones rolled down from his body, and Lin Xiaosu stood up.

Li Xueyi’s waist also exerted force and bounced up, the two moved from a tight embrace to face-to-face…

“I’m sorry, miss, just now… it was not intentional to be abrupt.” Lin Xiaosu said.

Li Xueyi said softly, “Young Master, you saved Xueyi’s life in urgency, Xueyi is eternally grateful, how could I blame you?”

Lin Xiaosu was slightly taken aback.

Using his Heavenly Tao Primordial Spirit as his eyes and with strong sensing power as the foundation, he had initially sketched a portrait of Li Xueyi, but her demeanor at this moment somewhat subverted his perception.

The fierce War God on the battlefield just now seemed to have become a genteel young lady.

Lin Xiaosu smiled slightly, “After all, I am a member of the Li Tian Clan; our Li Tian Clan and the Li Clan are fruits born of the same vine. Since we encountered each other, how could I not help? Miss, there’s no need to worry.”

Li Xueyi’s eyes sparkled with light, “Young Master is from the Li Tian Clan outside, isn’t it?”

Oh?

Lin Xiaosu’s heart skipped, “How did you see that, miss?”

“Young Master’s demeanor displays the sun and moon’s posture, somewhat different from the native Li Tian Clan members of the Bridge Realm. The words you just said also carried a hidden meaning.”

“Which words?”

“Young Master said, ‘the Li Tian Clan and the Li Clan are fruits born of the same vine.’ Such a saying wouldn’t come from a Bridge Realm native’s mouth; there’s simply no fruit in the Bridge Realm, so who could understand what a vine-grown fruit means?”

“But you understood, miss.” Lin Xiaosu said.

Li Xueyi smiled gently, “Because I have a brother who is most fascinated by everything outside. When chatting with his little sister, it’s always about the outer world… If he knew Young Master came from the outside, he’d surely be delighted, to the point of wanting to drink hundreds of cups with you.”

“Living in the Bridge Realm yet longing for the heavens; your brother certainly is an intriguing person.” Lin Xiaosu said.

“So, would Young Master be willing to come with me to meet him?”

Lin Xiaosu was greatly moved…

This time entering the Bridge Realm, everywhere he looked was the Strange Clan.

He wanted to enter the Li Clan’s Ancestor Hall, but considering with mere logic seemed perilous; after all, the two Left Envoys had just arrived at the Ancestor Hall. If he were to charge in recklessly, wouldn’t that be sending meat to the chopping board?

But now having saved the third Miss of the Li Clan, reputedly the Clan Leader’s favorite daughter, and receiving her personal invitation…

“It’s not far to our clan territory, and the people there will certainly not disrespect Young Master. Would Young Master be willing to come?” Li Xueyi’s eyes were full of expectation.

Lin Xiaosu nodded lightly, “Alright! Your injury… Let me help you!”

Li Xueyi’s cheeks turned slightly red, but she still reached out her hand, “Troublesome for Young Master!”

The two walked along the valley road.

Holding her gentle, boneless hand, Lin Xiaosu hesitated whether to use the Rejuvenation Secret Technique to heal her injuries, but the Heavenly Tao Primordial Spirit detected something that surprised him.

Her injuries had almost recovered.

Within such a short moment, the blade wound had almost healed.

This speed of recovery was not inferior to his Rejuvenation Secret Technique.

Below the cliff, two people were still struggling to climb up.

As members of the Li Clan, their physical strength was truly astounding. Even if their Bloodline Power couldn’t operate, they were almost invulnerable, hacked with a large knife they would only be sent flying. Falling from a cliff a hundred meters deep, they felt like they had just tripped on a flat surface, climbing back up again.

Their hearts were concerned about the young miss’s safety.

But suddenly, their eyes widened.

They saw the young miss, looking like a small bird snuggling, being led by a man through the valley.

The danger was gone.

The young miss was safe.

However, Jiao’er’s face was full of distress, his gaze directed at the formidable old man, “Ninth Elder, how could the young miss be so gentle, did she hurt her head?”

The formidable old man reached up to scratch his head, “Quickly, go up and check!”

At this moment, the young lady Li Xueyi, who was passing close to the cliff above, reached her left hand behind her back and made a gesture.

The two exchanged glances…

Because this gesture was telling them: Don’t go up the cliff, stay away, circle around from below!

They finished walking through Naihe Valley.

In front of them was another white house.

On the house was also written “Forget Sorrow Tea House.”

The two walked past the Forget Sorrow Tea House and saw a Mang Clan girl inside. This girl’s profile was seventy percent similar to Granny Cui’s, only she looked much younger, with a lithe waist and graceful posture.

“There are two Forget Sorrow Tea Houses!” Lin Xiaosu said.

Li Xueyi smiled softly, “They are a mother and daughter, one guards the east road, the other the west… Oh!”

Her eyebrows furrowed slightly, as if she had pulled at some painful spot.

Lin Xiaosu applied a bit of force with his hand to steady her, “Do you want to rest for a while?”

“No… No need! Let’s rest at that riverbank up ahead.” Li Xueyi said.

As they passed in front of the tea house, Li Xueyi’s left hand once again moved behind her back, pointing toward the Forget Sorrow Tea House.

The mighty old man and Jiao’er had already come up, ascending lightly and dust-free. It seemed the medicinal effects had worn off, and they could now utilize their bloodline power.

The first thing to do with restored bloodline power is, of course, to take care of the Forget Sorrow Tea House.

How could the Li Clan endure such an affront?

If you dare to poison me, I will retaliate with iron and blood.

However, Li Xueyi avoided it.

Because Lin Xiaosu was by her side.

She wanted to leave a good impression on him.

Elegant, gentle, a lady of distinction…

Lin Xiaosu didn’t know what to feel in his heart…

You put your hand behind your back twice to give orders, ordinary people might not notice, but am I ordinary?

The Forget Sorrow Tea House is about to suffer an unprovoked disaster.

What did this Mang Clan girl do to deserve this?

Her eyes couldn’t see, already pitiful enough, and she and her mother, year after year, day after day, performed good deeds, yet they were unreasonably implicated by a meticulously schemed plot…

“Actually, I was following you in Flame City.” Lin Xiaosu said.

“Ah?” Li Xueyi’s heart leapt suddenly.

“Do you know why I was following you?”

Li Xueyi’s blood flow suddenly accelerated several times over, her bloodline power mostly restored, seeming to break through the last mile at this moment, completely recovering.

Her mind was in chaos, following her from Flame City, did he like her?

Do you dare to say it?

“Why?” Li Xueyi didn’t forget she was still a lady of distinction, and worked hard to make her words clear and soft.

“Because I accidentally overheard a conversation between two Lin Clan members.” Lin Xiaosu said, “They devised an extremely insidious plot, giving you three Han tan qing Fruits. These Han tan qing Fruits combined with Forget Sorrow Tea would freeze your bloodline power for a period of time.”

Li Xueyi’s excitement vanished completely, “The combination of Han tan qing Fruit and Forget Sorrow Tea? The problem isn’t with the Forget Sorrow Tea, but with the Han tan qing Fruit?”

“It should be. I also drank the Forget Sorrow Tea, but there was no effect.”

He drank the Forget Sorrow Tea, and he was fine!

This was solid evidence.

Li Xueyi’s left hand suddenly moved again behind her back, this time to stop!

The mighty old man and Jiao’er, who were filled with murderous intent, were about to enter the Forget Sorrow Tea House when they suddenly saw the young lady’s gesture…

They stopped.

The girl inside the Forget Sorrow Tea House turned her face toward Lin Xiaosu’s side. Although she had no eyes, she seemed to sense the initiation and cessation of a trace of killing intent…

Li Xueyi gently exhaled, “Did the gentleman get a good look at those two people?”

Lin Xiaosu smiled, “Wait a little at the pavilion up ahead, and you can see their faces with your own eyes.”

“Do you think… they dare to come back?”

Lin Xiaosu said, “They use this as a pledge, so they will naturally come back to witness the birth of their results and claim the Huang Clan’s reward.”

As soon as his voice fell, two figures came through the valley, the very Lin Clan members Lin Xiaosu encountered in Flame City.

Brother Wu and Brother Bai.

As soon as the two stepped onto the platform ahead, they suddenly saw the mighty old man, Jiao’er by his side, and Li Xueyi up ahead, their hearts leapt…

What was going on?

Why did the plan fail?

There were indeed signs of fierce fighting in the valley, but these three were alive and well!

What went wrong?

“You two! Come with the old man!” The mighty old man stretched out a hand, grabbing their shoulders, and their faces changed drastically.

Jiao’er reached out and pulled out a package from the black and white Lin Clan member’s arms. When opened, inside lay four Han tan qing Fruits quietly.

Jiao’er’s face, full of cuteness, turned gloomy.

The appearance of the Han tan qing Fruits gave evidence to certain suspicions. Who in their right mind carries fruit with them? In the underground world, fruit is a true luxury.

The mighty old man carried the two off into the depths of the forest.

“The Ninth Elder is quite savage; I don’t even dare to watch him interrogate them. Let’s enjoy the scenery here, young gentleman.” Li Xueyi said softly.

Lin Xiaosu felt a slight tinge in his teeth.

You pretend!

You just keep pretending!
