Just Discharged From the Military and Got Tied Down by A Cold Beauty
Chapter 417: Fly, Yan Yun

Chapter 417: Chapter 417: Fly, Yan Yun

For Lu Xiao, Yan Yun was like a blank slate with nothing on it.

He even had to teach her step by step, hand in hand, how to even sense the most basic Inner Qi.

But when it came to the basics, Lu Xiao himself wasn’t very knowledgeable.

After all, he didn’t cultivate step by step through the regular channels either.

Before Heavenly Man, it was his master who taught him.

The lessons were a hodgepodge, and quite chaotic; you could hardly distinguish what was useful from what was simply Xuanyuan Panshi, the old man’s bad taste.

It wasn’t unlike licking an iron pole in minus twenty-something degree weather...

If you were to say that had anything to do with cultivation, Lu Xiao would be the first to disbelieve.

As for after becoming a Heavenly Man, he didn’t improve his strength step by step either.

He came up with the method of absorbing Mutated Crystals instead.

That thing... was truly fast.

The superpowers absorbed would eventually merge into the meridians, and though they wouldn’t interfere with Inner Strength, those vast superpowers would still nourish the Inner Qi, causing Lu Xiao’s level of Inner Qi to skyrocket rapidly.

"Speaking of which, do you want to speed up your cultivation?" Lu Xiao suddenly asked Yan Yun.

Since Yan Yun was a blank slate, there was no need to stick to the regular path step by step; perhaps he could try his own cultivation process with her.

"Yes, Master!" Yan Yun nodded vigorously, thump thump thump.

"Well, I have a shortcut that’s pretty suitable for you... just that it’ll be a bit more dangerous."

"I’m not afraid!" said Yan Yun, her tone firm.

If she had already chosen this path, there was no need to care about whether it was dangerous.

"Good, did you remember the chant for Inner Qi I taught you?"

"I did."

"Then... let’s go!" Suddenly, Lu Xiao grabbed Yan Yun’s arm and flung her out.

The moment her body took flight, Yan Yun’s scream also resounded.

Above the azure sea, beneath the whitened sky, Yan Yun was like a slingshot chicken, screeching nonstop.

Her entire body tensed, screaming incessantly.

"Remember to control your body, a head-first plunge into the water might end you right there," Lu Xiao shouted.

Midair, upon hearing Lu Xiao’s shout, Yan Yun’s screams finally ceased, and her brain, previously close to collapse from fright, began to regain its calm.

"Right, right, control the body first."

"Don’t end up a flat package on impact."

"Tuck in, bend, curl up..."

Yan Yun’s initial head-first dive quickly changed; her abdomen descended, her back curved, and her limbs came as close together as possible, curling up like a cooked shrimp tail.

Even when she was about to hit the water, Yan Yun still found time to toss her phone into the sea to break the surface tension.

"Splash!" The next moment, Yan Yun hit the water.

After a brief plunge, she rapidly resurfaced.

"Lu Xiao! Are you insane!" Yan Yun was already cursing aloud on the sea surface.

Lu Xiao looked at Yan Yun’s post-survival anger, the corners of his mouth curved slightly upward.

When he cursed out Xuanyuan Panshi back in the day, it was much harsher than Yan Yun’s words.

Meanwhile, Lu Xiao finally understood how Xuanyuan Panshi had felt back then...

Tormenting his disciple... It did seem to offer a peculiar sense of satisfaction, huh.

"If that’s how you see it, then Master is going to act up again, figure out your own way to get on the boat."

Having said that, Lu Xiao crossed his legs and began to brew tea.

On the sea surface, Yan Yun was numb all over.

Find my own way onto the boat?

Are you kidding me?

Though the cruise ship wasn’t moving fast, it was genuinely underway.

It wouldn’t be long before I’d be left behind, so how am I supposed to get on?

When my physical strength is exhausted, when night falls and hypothermia sets in, the only thing awaiting me is a dead end.

This is what you meant by ’a bit more dangerous’?

A bit? A little?

Bullshit, you’re obviously trying to kill me!

...

"Hey kid Lu Xiao, how come you didn’t call me for tea!" Before the water had even begun to boil, Liuli Hong hopped onto the balcony and sat down across from Lu Xiao.

Lu Xiao snorted, with your nose, do I need to call?

"Speaking of which, isn’t this a bit too cruel?" As the water heated up, Liuli Hong pointed to the increasingly distant Yan Yun on the sea surface.

To become a Cultivator, to reach Inner Strength, indeed, one needs life-and-death situations to break through barriers.

But Lu Xiao was moving too fast.

Yan Yun had only just begun to sense Inner Qi and was far from any bottleneck.

It seemed pointless to let her experience life and death at this stage.

"This is nothing yet, back in my day, I had it way worse than her," Lu Xiao shrugged his shoulders. It’s just throwing someone into the vast sea.

Every time Xuanyuan Panshi threw me into the ocean, he would smear some homemade ointment on me beforehand.

An ointment formulated to attract sharks.

Those swarms of sharks, even now thinking back, I can’t help but shudder.

"So, are you trying to replicate your own cultivation process on Yan Yun?" Liuli Hong’s eyes suddenly lit up.

To be honest, he had never understood why Lu Xiao could absorb superpowers; whether it was a problem with Lu Xiao’s body or some adjustments Xuanyuan Panshi had made in his cultivation methods.

If it was the latter, that meant this path was replicable.

For a Heavenly Man, this would be tremendous news.

"No," Lu Xiao shook his head.

"I want to try my own ideas on her."
