Chapter Twenty-Five: Yan's Gentle Words

  "Huh? That kid actually dared to carry Xueyue back to the room! I hope nothing happens?! Old Yu's divine sense saw this situation and was filled with shock and uncertainty."

  "He thought, once they were inside the house, they would no longer be under his surveillance. What if this little fatty had some bad ideas...” Old Yu's expression changed slightly, but then relaxed again. "I'm just being paranoid, I suppose. A ten-year-old fatty can't do much harm. Besides, given their relationship, it's unlikely anything would happen."

  It's said that the divine sense is like a cultivator's second pair of eyes, able to observe and detect everything around them from a broad perspective. The higher one's strength, the larger the range of their divine sense, and the more detailed their observations will be. Take Old Yu, for example, this peak Sword Emperor-level expert, his divine sense range reaches as far as six or seven li in diameter, truly a very useful skill indeed.

  However, the divine sense is not omnipotent. If the object being observed enters a place with a more complex structure, such as a room or a winding cave, it is generally difficult for the divine sense to penetrate. Moreover, although Old Yu is a top-notch swordsman, he is unfortunately not very skilled in this area and can only apply it somewhat clumsily. The Wen family also does not have a specialized method for practicing the divine sense.

  If I had to describe it, it's more like the protagonist's previous life's Google Maps, with a wide range but not very flexible, only able to roughly observe some things. If you want to apply it further, you can only hope to obtain cultivation methods in this aspect or break through the current realm of power. As your power increases, maybe you'll be able to do it.

  But if it's some masters who specialize in spiritual intent, then there are many things that can be done. Not to mention just a room with doors and windows blocking the way, even a cleverly crafted special lock mechanism can be figured out from the inside. What's more, they can also use their spiritual intent to attack and defend silently and stealthily, making it hard for others to guard against. However, this is not invincible, at least when it comes to defending against powerful energy attacks, and when facing off against masters of the same level, their attacking methods are basically useless. Moreover, cultivating this ability is also quite difficult, and those without innate talent can't even get started.

  As for Wu Ye Yu, this little fatty had endured a poisonous beating from Wen Xue Yue and saw that the little loli was no longer continuing to hit him. Although tears were still falling down, he simply gave her a princess carry and carried her towards his own room. Wen Xue Yue didn't resist either, allowing the little fatty to carry her.

  After putting Wen Xueyue on her mother's bed, Wu Yeyu took a clean handkerchief to wipe the little loli's face, and then asked softly: "What's wrong with this? Why was the reaction just now so big, is there something on your mind? Tell me and I'll help you solve it."

  "Hmph!" Wen Xueyue snatched the towel from Wu Yeyu's hand and wiped away her tears, but she didn't continue crying and also didn't say a word.

  After a while, she felt something was off and found Wu Yeru staring at her without blinking. Her face suddenly turned red, and after glaring at Xiaopang, she immediately turned around and no longer faced Wu Yeru.

  When he saw this situation, Wu Ye Yu couldn't help but scratch his head. It seemed that even in his past life, he hadn't experienced such a thing. In the village, although he wasn't too shy about interacting with women, he still wouldn't flirt with them. Although sometimes when he saw some beautiful women, he would feel delighted, but in his heart, there weren't many thoughts. On the contrary, after arriving in this other world, although it had only been a few days, after getting along with Wen Xue Yue, he felt quite harmonious. The two of them could also talk about some things. However, after all, he didn't have any experience flirting with girls, and she was still just a little girl.

  So, Wu Yeyu, who felt that he wasn't very eloquent, simply stopped thinking about it. He picked up Wen Xiyue and lay down on the bed, holding the little loli in his arms. Although Wen Xiyue struggled a few times during the process, she couldn't break free, and afterwards she quietly lay in Wu Yeyu's arms, letting him stroke her head with his hand. The two children didn't say another word, just quietly staying like that.

  Although Wen Xueyue felt a wave of heat on her face, the feeling of lying in Wu Yeyu's arms made her feel at ease and very comfortable.

  After a long while, Wen Xueyue, who had recovered her spirits, shifted her body slightly and changed to a more comfortable posture. She opened her mouth and said: "Fatty brother, will you teach me swordsmanship?"

  "Swordsmanship, aren't you good at it? I saw that your own moves didn't look bad, and the power seemed pretty good too. I was watching from the side and even felt a bit envious." Wu Yeyu was somewhat surprised - Little Loli still wanted to learn swordsmanship from him? Wouldn't that be going backwards? Who knew that looking at her swordsmanship would make Young Master feel so envious? It was so cool, so elegant, with the sword wind blowing in all directions. It's simply too awesome for traveling the Jianghu."

  "Hmm, who said that? I think my swordsmanship is not as good as yours. My set of sword moves may look beautiful, but they don't have much power. Your swordsmanship may be simple, but it's a rare foundation-building method. Haven't you noticed that every time you swing your sword, your movements are extremely smooth and natural? And you're able to bring out the full power of those simple sword moves, which are actually the basics of swordsmanship. Later on, if you can link these moves together, it will be easy to create a powerful sword style. Moreover, if you keep practicing and master these simple moves so that they become second nature, then when you learn other sword styles in the future, you'll definitely achieve twice the results with half the effort!" Wen Xueyue said as she placed her hand on Wu Yeyu's chest and gently stroked it, occasionally tapping his round belly.

  "Oh? Is that so, I didn't notice it clearly, just thinking about completing these basic exercises quickly, finishing them as soon as possible, and then not having to practice anymore. After that, I can start learning other sword techniques and quickly improve my skills. However, after hearing what you said, I feel like I was being too optimistic again... *sigh*." Wu Ye Yu's eyes gazed emptily at the beam above, his hand slowly stroking Wen Xue Yue's hair as he spoke.

  "Hmm! Don't think that way, the foundation must be laid solidly, these things are very important. I've seen my grandfather re-practice basic sword moves every now and then, and he told me that each time he practices, he gains new insights." Wen Xueyu said to Wu Yeyu with wide eyes.

  Upon hearing this, Wu Yeru regained his composure and looked at Wen Xueyue with a faint smile: "Mmm, got it. You're a little devilish loli!" He even gently pinched her face with his hand.

  Wen Xiyue was taken aback for a moment, then slapped Wu Yeru's hand away with a loud "Slap!" and said coquettishly: "I hate it! Don't touch my face like that!" Then she sat up, waved her two hands at Wu Yeru's face, and pinched them hard to both sides. Wu Yeru cried out in pain, and only after saying many good things did Wen Xiyue let go. "Hmph! See if you dare again! My face isn't something just anyone can touch, not even my grandfather!"

  "Alright, I understand. Hmm... if you really want to learn swordsmanship from me, then it's not a problem." Wu Yeru said, changing his tone.

  "Really?" Wen Xueyue turned her small face and glanced at Wu Yeyu with the corner of her eye, a subtle charm in her expression.

  "Uh, of course, but the thing is that when I got that secret book, it was already quite old, and later on, it accidentally got destroyed. Luckily, I remembered everything in my head, so if you want to learn, I can only teach you by hand. The 'Basic Sword Techniques' secret book is a collection of images, one group at a time. If we were to print them out, they would just be individual pictures, which would be too much trouble. That's why Wu Ye Yu said that."

  "Has the secret recipe gone bad?! And you still want to teach me step by step? Fat brother, you're not trying to take advantage of me and eat my tofu again, are you? I'm still so young!" Wen Xiyue looked at Wu Yeyu with a strange gaze.

  "Eat your tofu? Who did you learn this from, huh? You even know about this? Won't be that grandfather of yours again, will it? He's always teaching you something new every day. At such a young age, you're already thinking about these things... Your mind is really impure! *sigh*" Wu Yeru said to Wen Xiyue with some speechlessness.

  "Go! Don't talk about my grandfather like that! He's a good person!" Wen Xueyue retorted, and then a small hand pinched Wu Yeyu's waist and started twisting it back and forth until he apologized.

  After a brief rest, Wen Xueyue suddenly asked: "You really don't want to eat other people's tofu?"

  "Of course, we're still so young now, what tofu can we eat? Right? If you want to eat, it's only after you have some material that it's okay." Wu Yeyu said, of course, the second half of the sentence was spoken in a voice that even he himself couldn't hear.

  "Alright! Since it's like this, you first take your hand off the other person's waist!"

  "Why?"

  "Aren't you the one who said you wouldn't eat other people's tofu?"

  "Does this count as having eaten?"

  "How can it not count?! Don't you know that men and women should not be intimate? It means that even touching a girl's hand is considered as eating! Let go quickly!"

  "Not fair! What's the big idea, you're being too petty! Besides, we're still kids, it doesn't count!" Wu Yeyu said, one hand holding Wen Xiyue's hand and the other wrapping around her waist, lifting her up and placing her on his round belly.

  "You dead fatso! I'm telling you to stop being lazy! I..." Wen Xueyue said, while putting her hands into Wu Yeyu's armpits and tickling him.

  "Oh no! Hahaahaha! Let go quickly! I'm ticklish! Hahahahahaha! Let go!"

  "Don't let go!"

  "Please, hahaahaha!"

  ……

  After playing for a while, the two of them were also getting tired. Wen Xiyue quietly lay on Xiaopangzi's belly, motionless and silent for a moment before speaking up.

  "Fat brother, promise me one thing."

  "Ah, go on, what's up?" Wu Yeyu wiped away the tears of laughter from her cheek and said.

  "Did you promise him first?" Wen Xueyue asked coquettishly.

  "Alright, I've agreed, go ahead and say it, what's going on."

  "From now on, I don't allow you to casually teach your martial arts to others, nor do I allow you to easily believe in others. Did you hear me?" Wen Xueyue said, looking into Wu Yeyu's eyes.

  "You're quite nosy, aren't you?" Wu Yeru said, stroking Wen Xiyue's head.

  "Did you hear that?!" Little Lori said with a serious face, but this expression on her childish face looked extremely cute.

  "Uh-huh, okay, I get it!" Wu Yeyu said to the serious-looking little loli.

  "Okay, good boy/girl."

  Then Wen Xueyu kissed Wu Yeyu's face, and wanted to get up. Who knew that Wu Yeyu reacted quickly, just stunned for a moment, then came back to his senses, hugged him tightly, and brought his own face over. Unexpectedly, the little loli scratched the armpits of the little fatty with both hands.

  Wu Yeru's body suddenly lost all its strength, and the force in his hands also dissipated. Then Wen Xueyue supported herself with her small hand and got up from the ground, after which she walked away without looking back.

  "Don't forget what you promised me, fatty! I'll come find you again tomorrow!"
