Just Discharged From the Military and Got Tied Down by A Cold Beauty

Chapter 422: The 422nd: Originally fond of the mentor-disciple vibe

At seven o’clock in the evening, Lu Xiao took Yan Yun to the cruise ship’s restaurant.

The two sat opposite each other, and Lu Xiao ordered some food and wine.

He even lit a candle in the middle of the table.

Along with the dim lighting around and the soothing music, there was somewhat of a dating vibe.

"Master, have you... figured it out? So you actually like playing this master-disciple game," Yan Yun said, her eyes sparkling after she sat down.

Lu Xiao almost slapped Yan Yun away—what nonsense are you uttering!

Figured it out... likes the master-disciple game...

Listen to yourself, speaking such scandalous words.

"Just eat your meal, don’t talk so much, and don’t think too much. We are just master and disciple," Lu Xiao’s tone grew stricter.

Yan Yun’s level of cheeky talk was quite high; it felt like she could even compete with Sister Gun.

Seeing that Lu Xiao was getting a bit angry, Yan Yun stopped messing around and started eating fiercely with her knife and fork.

After embarking the ship in the morning, she had eaten something haphazardly and then went straight to sleep, not waking up until five in the afternoon.

Lu Xiao ate quietly as well.

To be fair, the chefs on this cruise ship were not bad at all.

Half an hour later, both were almost done eating.

Yan Yun leaned back in her chair, the tension and torture from three days of fishing and killing fish seemingly cured by this big meal.

"Master, there’s something I don’t understand," Yan Yun suddenly said, looking at Lu Xiao and sitting up slightly straighter.

"You say."

"Killing fish and enhancing Inner Qi... are they related?"

"Yes," Lu Xiao nodded, then put down his fork. "Cultivation, fundamentally, is about the plundering of energy."

"Inner Qi is just one term, and the technique passed on to you is meant to allow you to plunder energy from nature; as for killing fish, it involves plundering energy from the fish. The energy within organisms is more abundant than what dissipates in space, so your enhancement speed will be faster."

After saying this, Lu Xiao took a deep breath, madly impressed with his own brilliance.

That was such a stretch, I almost believed it myself.

"I see... so that’s how it is," Yan Yun nodded slightly. "That makes sense, I understand now."

"So... is the energy inside every organism the same?" After a few seconds, Yan Yun suddenly asked.

The corner of Lu Xiao’s mouth lifted slightly—he knew Yan Yun would ask this.

Over the past few days, Lu Xiao had learned quite a bit about Yan Yun. Her talent for cultivation wasn’t that great, but her comprehension was quite impressive.

"Of course not. The higher an organism’s spiritual intelligence, the stronger the energy," Lu Xiao said calmly, then stared at Yan Yun with a grin, observing her reaction.

Yan Yun first paused, then her eyes gradually began to change, and finally, even her breathing became somewhat rapid.

Clearly, she had figured it out.

The higher the spiritual intelligence, the stronger the energy—what creature in this world has higher spiritual intelligence than humans?

Thus, killing humans would be the fastest way to enhance strength.

Yan Yun hung her head low, her thoughts unclear, her facial expression constantly changing.

Lu Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly and then winked in a certain direction.

The next second, a man stood up, his hand holding a wine glass, walking unsteadily while humming a tune.

When he reached Yan Yun’s side, the man staggered and bumped against her with a thud.

Yan Yun, her thoughts interrupted, felt an inexplicable anger rising.

"Are you blind!" Yan Yun turned her head and shouted.

Right after she shouted, Yan Yun smelled the strong scent of alcohol emanating from the man, instantly making her look even more displeased. She had always despised drunkards in her life.

"Who are you scolding..." the man retorted.

Then, the man’s blurry eyes landed on Yan Yun’s face, and after a two-second pause, he began to laugh foolishly: "Hehe, little sister is really pretty... hehe, come play with... with brother."

As he spoke, the man even reached out to lift Yan Yun’s chin.

Seeing the man’s action, Yan Yun’s eyes instantly turned fierce, and she swiftly slapped away the man’s arm, then put him in a hold by grabbing his shoulder.

Bang!

The man’s head made brutal contact with the dinner table.

Struck by Yan Yun, the man seemed to sober up a bit, his eyes filled with rage, "Damn bitch, you dare hit me? I’ll kill you, believe it or not! Let me go, I’ll screw you to death today, pin you down to the bed and kill you."

Hearing the man’s foul language, Yan Yun’s anger swelled in her chest, her eyes flashing with murderous intent.

"Stinking whore, today I’ll definitely make you feel what a real man is, hehehe!" The man continued to spew obscenities.

The murderous intent in Yan Yun grew stronger, her hand holding down the man’s head slightly trembling.

"He’s humiliating you like this, and you still won’t make a move?"

"Kill him, kill him, not only will you relieve the hatred in your heart, but it will also greatly enhance your strength."

"Killing him would be even more useful than killing fish for three days."

"Think about the gains from the past three days of killing fish, think about the enhancement of your strength, doesn’t the taste of becoming stronger feel good?"

"It was he who provoked you first, so, kill him! Just one palm strike is all it takes."

Lu Xiao’s voice entered Yan Yun’s ears, filled with temptation.

Yan Yun’s eyes widened, her mouth began to breathe heavily.

Her right hand slowly lifted.

"Right, just like that, this kind of drunkard is trash, killing him is removing evil from the world."

"Getting drunk and causing trouble, such people deserve to die, they really do."

"You’re just executing heavenly justice."

"Kill him, kill him!"

Lu Xiao’s voice, almost like a chant, kept appearing in Yan Yun’s mind.

Yan Yun’s eyes turned blood red, and her right hand had lifted above her head.

"Whoosh!" The next moment, the sound of breaking wind rose, Yan Yun’s hand fiercely slapped towards the man’s head.

"Slap!" The man’s face was marked by five blood-red finger prints.

"Scram!" After slapping the man, Yan Yun violently kicked the man away.

The man got up, clearly intending to continue.

"That’s enough." Lu Xiao waved his hand.

The initially enraged and crazed look in the man’s eyes immediately subdued, and he bowed to Lu Xiao before quickly exiting the scene.

"Master, aren’t you going to explain?" Yan Yun gritted her teeth, the blood in her eyes had not yet dissipated.

"Is it necessary?"

"Isn’t it?"

"I think it’s unnecessary, you must have figured it out already, otherwise you would have killed him, right?" Lu Xiao chuckled lightly.

If Yan Yun had really made a deadly move just then, it would mean that she was not suited for that path.

But in the end, Yan Yun had endured.

At the time when her killing intent was at its strongest, under her own constant incitement, she still held firm to her inner principles.

This was very important.

"But why?" Yan Yun took a deep breath.

"To cultivate, one must first cultivate the heart. Without a firm will, one will definitely become a lunatic in the future. I’ve seen too many cultivators dehumanize others, I’ve also seen too many become powerful and then kill innocents indiscriminately. I don’t want my disciple to become that kind of person," Lu Xiao explained seriously.

Yan Yun opened her mouth but ultimately didn’t say anything.

Alright, she could accept that reason, but Lu Xiao’s methods and approach were really... quite freakish.

First letting her kill fish for three days, then telling her to kill a person, joking right.

"So, the part about gaining strength from killing is also a lie?" Yan Yun asked again.

"Nonsense, your strength enhanced quickly over those three days because I was constantly providing you with Inner Qi."

"Hah... Boring, I was even thinking about applying for a job at the supermarket to kill fish! Kill them for ten years, that would be insanely awesome."
