His Confession, His Promise (2)
T/N: Chapter sponsored by Gigi Jinx and Anon! Thank you for sponsoring!
Du Xiao Li's slightly agape mouth expressed her surprise. When Han Ming Yi finished speaking, she momentarily couldn't control herself and had the words in her heart voiced out.
"You're still a virgin?"
Han Ming Yi's complexion darkened. Clearly this was such a romantic moment, yet she actually said such mood ruining words.
"I heard, last year, you had Eastern Li's princess thrown out. You don't have a problem, right?" Du Xiao Li said, and seeing Han Ming Yi's face dark like it was about to drip ink, she giddily laughed out.
Han Ming Yi grabbed Du Xiao Li by the hand and had her pulled closer to his side, saying: "Whether or not I have a problem, why don't you personally examine and see? If there's really a problem, aren't you a doctor, you can just treat me, so as to avoid it affecting our married life in the future."
'Shu--' (T/N: Sound of a brush stroke, but also used for sound of blushing---don't ask me how blushing makes a sound.)
Du Xiao Li's face instantly turned deep red. She wanted to pull back her own hand, but no matter what she did, she was still tightly confined by Han Ming Yi. She couldn't help feeling somewhat shocked. Her martial arts even Luo Qi praised to be high level, but right now, she actually couldn't even pull back her own hand from Han Ming Yi's hand. Just how strong is his martial arts exactly?!
"Alright, not angry with me anymore?" Han Ming Yi let go of Du Xiao Li's arm, changing to hold her little hand.
Du Xiao Li wasn't able to struggle free, and said in a bad mood, "I don't like you, why should I marry you? Hmph!"
"It doesn't matter if you don't like me now. There's still more than a year until you reach marriageable year, we can slowly cultivate feelings." Han Ming Yi said.
"In your dreams."
"Alright, it's very late tonight, I'll send you back." Han Ming Yi said, and then picked up Du Xiao Li in his arms, using qinggong to take her back to Du Manor. Towards her martial arts, he only remembered that she wasn't able to successfully learn qinggong back then. He simply never would've imagined that Du Xiao Li right now was already a master only a mere one point away from himself. Especially in qinggong, she can be said to not be inferior in any way compared to him.
"Properly rest." Han Ming Yi placed her down on the balcony and said.
Du Xiao Li took off his coat and handed it back to him, "Thank you."
Han Ming Yi took the coat, looked to her exposed skin and said, "In the future, before getting married, you're not allowed to wear such revealing clothes!" With that said, he turned and left. If he doesn't leave sooner, he was afraid he wouldn't be able to walk anymore!
Du Xiao Li watched Han Ming Yi leave in a hurry and lowered her head to look at her own clothes. She didn't feel there was anything wrong, and so his words were very quickly thrown to the back of her head.
"Miss, where did you go just now? Earlier when we came up, we saw that you were gone and couldn't find you anywhere. We were worried to death!" Ying Ge anxiously said.
Although they all knew that Du Xiao Li knew martial arts, but aside from qinggong and some ordinary martial arts, they've all never seen Du Xiao Li use 'wind blowing snow' before.
"That's right miss, when we came up, we saw that the screen in the room had a hole, but the other furnitures were all proper, really scared us to death." Xia Yuan also said.
"Miss, where did you go just now?" Qiao Zhu asked.
"Just now, big brother Yi came. His martial arts skills are very impressive, so you all didn't notice." Du Xiao Li explained, "Alright, I'm fine, you all don't need to worry anymore."
"Miss, big sister Xia Yuan and them say your martial arts skills are very impressive. How come you also got kidnapped?" Qiao Zhu asked.
"Miss, although his Majesty bestowed a marriage for you two today, but he came and took you away in the middle of the night, so why didn't you use that martial arts skills against him?" Ying Ge asked
"Big brother Yi doesn't know that I know martial arts, so I didn't resist the whole time, and I also wanted to see just what he wanted." Du Xiao Li said.
"Which martial arts skill? Miss, you know a lot of martial arts skills?" Qiao Zhu curiously asked. Seeing Du Xiao Li safely return, everyone had all relaxed.
"Can be considered like that." Du Xiao Li said.
"Then what is that martial arts skill?" Qiao Zhu asked.
"You won't know even if I say it. However, I can demonstrate it for you all to see. Xia Yuan and Ying Ge have also been curious for a long time too, right?" Du Xiao Li saw Ying Ge and Xia Yuan's eyes suddenly lighting up.
"Alright, alright!" Qiao Zhu said as she clapped her hands.
Du Xiao Li let Ying Ge go pick a tender green bamboo leaf that just sprouted out in the courtyard, and then after washing it clean with water, she brought them to the balcony. She had the bamboo leaf placed to her lips, and with a light blow, the bamboo leaf let out a crisp and drawn out sound, like a bird's cry. Soon after, the river below produced a splashing sound like the water surface broke.
Qiao Zhu and them quickly looked down and saw several fish jump out from the water, and after circling in midair, landed into the water again.
"So, so amazing!" Qiao Zhu watched the scene below in awe. She didn't know martial arts, and didn't know just how impressive this martial arts skill was either. She just purely felt amazed.
As for Xia Yuan and Ying Ge, they both had came from Luo Qi and were more knowledgable than normal people, so seeing this move, they already couldn't be described as 'amazed'. It wouldn't even be enough to say that they were shocked. Currently, Du Xiao Li was just using a bamboo leaf to play a few notes. If she were to use an instrument to perform a complete piece, then that power would be enough to turn the heaven and earth upside down!
"Now do you know?" Du Xiao Li had the bamboo leaf in her tossed and turned around to look at the three stunned servant girls.
"Miss, your martial arts was that....."Ying Ge wanted to say, but all of a sudden got covered by the mouth by Xia Yuan.
"We didn't see anything tonight." Xia Yuan looked to Ying Ge and said.
"Why?" Qiao Zhu asked in puzzlement.
Du Xiao Li smiled and said, "It's fine, this martial arts technique, I've already trained to the fifth level, even if ordinary people know, it won't cause me any trouble."
"But it's still best to be careful." Xia Yuan said.
"Why?" Qiao Zhu continued asking her question from just now.
"Because this is the martial arts that has been missing from the pugilistic world for ages now, and one that everyone all are scrambling to obtain. If others find out that the secret technique book is in miss's hands, then she might incur the entire Wulin as well as the government's pursuit to kill her." Xia Yuan said with a grave expression.
(T/N: Wulin refers to all the martial art sects collectively as a whole.)
Qiao Zhu instantly covered her own mouth and said, "Just now, I didn't see anything."
"Starting from tomorrow, Xia Yuan and Ying Ge, you two will put emphasis on preparing rear fence, and have the perimeter wall built as quickly as possible. This way I can finally feel safe letting Silver and them play there. As for the design of the interior, I'll draw it out tomorrow and then give it to you." Du Xiao Li said. "Alright, it's late now, everyone all go to bed."
The three finally returned to go rest. Although it was somewhat late tonight, Du Xiao Li still practiced her inner energy manipulation technique a few times before going to sleep.
Wind blowing snow had ten levels altogether, but aside from the elder that invented it, those previous people at most only trained to the fifth level. However, even so, it was enough to arrogantly laugh through the pugilistic world.
Perhaps it was related to her two lifetimes of experience, or perhaps it's because of her natural born ability to comprehend music, or perhaps because of her super high IQ, or some other reason, she didn't encounter much resistance when practicing this. Only thirteen and already reached the fifth level, but also still unable to touch the sixth level's doorsteps.
When she finished practicing, Du Xiao Li went to sleep. She had closed her eyes, but her mind still thought about the design for the back area.
T/N: My cold is better but I still feel so dead inside, and the fact that spring is coming and my pollen allergy is going out of control isn't helping either rip me.
