Chapter 392: You Want to Do What to Me?!
When Lin Xuan Qi got back to the mansion, he asked for one of the guards to help send a letter to Lu Ting.
He needed more of the Spirit Herbs and also to remind her that the Sima Family was waiting for the three Nascent Soul Ascension Pills.
It would be great for the Sima Family to be able to get the pills as soon as possible.
"What’s happening?" Liu Shi Shi asked after the guard left with his letter.
She knew that he was busy for the past few days but wasn’t sure of what he was up to.
Lin Xuan Qi shrugged and said, "Nothing, but be on the alert for any intruders.
"It might not be so peaceful soon."
"Is the Sima Family in trouble?" She asked, since there were guards from the Sima Family that were stationed at the mansion.
He glanced at her and said, "I believe they would have the resources to survive this."
The Sima Family with its long history wouldn’t be defeated so easily, he thought.
Liu Shi Shi lowered her head and wished that she could be of more use to him.
But she as a martial arts fighter wouldn’t be able to go against a cultivator if it came down to it.
During the previous encounters, she gave all she got but wasn’t able to withstand even a blow from the cultivators.
The most she could do now was to make sure that Xue Cong and the others would be able to escape successfully if someone came to attack the mansion.
When Lin Xuan Qi saw the look of concern on her face, he placed his hand onto her lap and said, "Don’t worry too much.
"I have made some arrangements to ensure that we are safe."
Liu Shi Shi glanced at his hand, pointed at it and said, "That’s the arrangement you are talking about..."
Lin Xuan Qi smiled and stood up.
He pulled her to stand up like he was and said, "Yes, and I’m going to teach you a lesson right now."
Liu Shi Shi startled and glanced around at his study room.
Thankfully, there wasn’t anyone else inside it.
She blushed and thought that he was going to do something to her.
And since they were going to get married soon, she was fine if he wanted to as long as he stopped at...
He had always kept his distance and hadn’t made too much of an advance so she had the confidence in Lin Xuan Qi.
Liu Shi Shi closed her eyes and stood there for him.
Her heart pounded wildly as she waited for him to make the next move.
Lin Xuan Qi rolled his eyes at her when he saw what she was doing.
It seemed to him that Xue Cong’s propensity to misunderstand him was spreading to the others.
He patted onto Liu Shi Shi’s shoulder and said, "No, not the type of lesson you are thinking about."
Liu Shi Shi opened her eyes and looked perturbed.
"What do you mean? I thought you wanted to..." She asked with a frown.
Lin Xuan Qi gave her a smirk and asked, "Wanted to do what?"
He waited for her answer but she realized that he was teasing her.
She wanted to turn around and get out from the study room but he wouldn’t let her.
And surprisingly, he overpowered her and she couldn’t even move an inch.
"Wait, how is this possible." She gasped at the fact that he might be even stronger than she was.
Liu Shi Shi recalled that he had only started to learn martial arts after Lee He Song and herself had arrived in the mansion not too long ago.
And now, he was already even stronger than her, even though he only had such a short span of time to learn, compared to her many years of practice.
Lee He Song had said that he had a talent in learning and practicing martial arts and she hadn’t taken it to heart.
But now, she had to reconsider the fact and agree to it.
Lin Xuan Qi pulled her towards him and said, "I’ve gotten a martial arts manuscript that would be better than any you can find out there.
"It would help greatly if you can master it."
"Manuscript?" Liu Shi Shi felt his broad chest pressing onto her but she kept her mind clear enough to ask.
"It’s called the Daoist Five-Element Techniques." Lin Xuan Qi said, omitting the word cultivation from it.
He knew that she had total loyalty for him but he didn’t want her to be too shocked from the realization that it would be possible for her to cultivate without any Spirit Roots.
"Xue Cong, Yue Jie, Zhi Yong and Master Lee have been practicing it too." He added on and she started to recall how energetic and filled with vitality they were recently.
It was especially so for Lee He Song with his illness gone and there had been no relapse.
Maybe this Daoist Five-Element Techniques was as good as Lin Xuan Qi had said it was?
"Show me." Liu Shi Shi said, wanting to learn about it.
Lin Xuan Qi gave her a nod and started.
"First, breathe in like you would do so normally, but let it rest in your body.
"Feel for the five organs that is the heart of fire, liver of wood, spleen of earth, lungs of metal and the kidneys of water."
He said and started to get into the first stance of the Daoist Five-Element Cultivation Techniques.
Liu Shi Shi followed and did as instructed.
But she shook her head after a few moments.
She couldn’t feel anything different.
Lin Xuan Qi tried to help her and he placed his palm onto her chest.
Liu Shi Shi felt awkward and she tried to shift her body away but stopped when she felt something coming into her body from his palm.
It was something like the Qi that she had but it was different.
Once it got into her body, her heart started pounding and roared like it was burning.
She was shocked with her eyes opened wide but she had the mind to breathe in as what he had instructed earlier.
