Martial Arts, the Little Master of the Ancient Tomb, Becomes Stronger When You Drink

61: Chapter 61 Return to the Ancient TombHaving arranged everything, Su Xuan and the others did not linger any longer and continued toward the Ancient Tomb.

Little Eagle was very fast, and with its diligent flying...

...the group took only five days to reach the Ancient Tomb.

...

Inside the Ancient Tomb.

”Master, I beg of you, please let Long’er go find Junior Martial Uncle!” Little Dragon Girl’s eyes were misty with tears as she knelt on both knees before Mu Tingxue, looking so pitiable and fragile that anyone would feel for her.

”Long’er, what are you doing? Get up quickly!” Mu Tingxue felt a pang of heartache and tried to help Little Dragon Girl up.

Little Dragon Girl nudged away slightly, her knees still on the ground. She lifted her pale, beautiful face, tears streaming from the corners of her eyes as she choked out, ”Master, I beg of you! Long’er really misses Junior Martial Uncle...”

By the time she finished, Little Dragon Girl was already a mess of tears.

Seeing Little Dragon Girl crying like this, how could Mu Tingxue not feel distressed?

But what could she do?

Before that bastard son of hers left, he stubbornly refused to say goodbye and left no letters behind...

”Sigh~” Mu Tingxue lowered her eyes slightly, walked to Little Dragon Girl, and squatted down. She gently took her into her arms and comforted her softly, ”Long’er, don’t cry. Your Junior Martial Uncle will be back soon...”

Little Dragon Girl leaned limply against Mu Tingxue’s shoulder, two cool, wet tear tracks never ceasing. ”But Junior Martial Uncle has been gone for 147 days...”

Hearing this, Mu Tingxue felt even more heartbroken...

Over these five months, Mu Tingxue had tried everything she could think of...

First, she said that once she learned the Jade Maiden Heart Sutra, her precious son would return...

Then, Little Dragon Girl actually took only one month to get the Jade Maiden Heart Sutra on the right track...

But her precious son didn’t return...

Then she said that once she reached a Breakthrough to the Innate Realm, her precious son would return...

Then Little Dragon Girl took two months to reach the Innate Early Stage...

Her precious son still didn’t return...

Later, she said that once she mastered the Jade Maiden Heart Sutra Swordplay, her precious son would return...

But Little Dragon Girl actually took only a little over a month to reach the Beginner level in both the Jade Maiden Sword Technique and the Quanzhen Sword Technique, and then only a moment to learn the Technique of Dual-Tasking...

Just now, Mu Tingxue wanted to say something else, but unexpectedly, Little Dragon Girl had suddenly dropped to her knees with a thud...

What was she supposed to do?

Mu Tingxue gently patted Little Dragon Girl’s back, able only to offer silent comfort...

Little Dragon Girl pressed against Mu Tingxue’s soft embrace, her eyes half-veiled by tears and her vision somewhat blurred.

And in that very blur, Little Dragon Girl actually saw three figures slowly walking toward them.

Little Dragon Girl hurriedly rubbed her eyes and wiped away the tears. With her vision clear, she cried out in surprise, ”Junior Martial Uncle!”

Mu Tingxue thought Little Dragon Girl was missing her precious son again and was about to offer words of comfort.

But Little Dragon Girl had already left her embrace.

Mu Tingxue looked in the direction Little Dragon Girl was running, and her beautiful eyes lit up. ”Xuaner?!”

Watching Little Dragon Girl running toward him, Su Xuan opened his arms with a smile.

1 second... 1.2 seconds...

When she was a few meters away from Su Xuan, Little Dragon Girl’s delicate feet tapped lightly as she lunged toward him.

Thud~

Su Xuan opened his arms and caught Little Dragon Girl, holding her tightly in his embrace.

At this moment, time seemed to freeze, with a few of Little Dragon Girl’s teardrops still floating in the air.

Little Dragon Girl hugged Su Xuan tightly, her watery eyes closed. She wished she could press her entire being against him, not wanting to be apart for even a fraction of a second.

Beside them, Gongsun Lüe was already stunned, her bright eyes staring at Little Dragon Girl without blinking.

She marveled in her heart, How can there be such a beautiful woman in this world?!

Is this also... a Master’s Wife?

At that moment, Mu Tingxue walked over slowly from behind.

Her eyes met those of her precious son, and she gave Su Xuan a glare but said nothing.

Seeing Mu Tingxue’s gaze turn toward her, Li Mochou shrank her neck in fear. She was about to speak when Mu Tingxue stopped her.

Noticing there was another young girl nearby, a hint of confusion flashed in Mu Tingxue’s beautiful eyes.

But she didn’t ask much, simply taking the two women’s delicate hands in hers and walking back in the direction she came from.

Soon, only Su Xuan and Little Dragon Girl were left there.

Little Dragon Girl kept crying, and a large patch of Su Xuan’s chest was already soaked through.

Su Xuan wanted to comfort her but didn’t know what to say, so he could only hold Little Dragon Girl gently.

After an unknown amount of time, Little Dragon Girl finally stopped crying. She slightly raised her tear-swollen eyes and gritted her teeth, saying, ”Junior Martial Uncle, who gave you permission to leave Long’er behind?”

”Ah? This...” Su Xuan’s eyes darted around, not daring to look his wife in the eye.

No matter who he was with, Su Xuan could manage a quick response.

But only with Long’er, he...

Suddenly, Su Xuan felt a coolness on his lips. He looked closer.

He saw that Little Dragon Girl had already pressed herself against him.

Before Su Xuan could regain his senses, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his mouth, and then Little Dragon Girl pulled away.

Leaving only two faint rows of tooth marks on Su Xuan’s lips...

”Long’er, I...”

Little Dragon Girl lightly covered Su Xuan’s mouth with her delicate hand and said softly, ”Don’t say it...”

Seeing the faint resentment in Little Dragon Girl’s red and swollen eyes, Su Xuan felt a pang of heartache.

He had thousands of words in his heart, yet he couldn’t say any of them.

The two stared at each other like that until Su Xuan finally couldn’t help but sigh. He averted his gaze and said, ”Long’er, it was Junior Martial Uncle’s fault this time. I definitely won’t leave you behind again.”

To his surprise, it would have been better if he hadn’t spoken. As soon as he did, a glimmer flashed in Little Dragon Girl’s eyes, and tears began to well up again.

Seeing this, Su Xuan was momentarily at a loss. ”Long’er, don’t cry! Did Junior Martial Uncle say something wrong?”

Little Dragon Girl pouted and choked out, ”Junior Martial Uncle said the same thing before...”

”And then Junior Martial Uncle left Long’er all alone in the Ancient Tomb...”

”Long’er is stupid, but can Junior Martial Uncle please not lie to Long’er...”

”When I can’t see Junior Martial Uncle, Long’er really, really misses Junior Martial Uncle...”

Hearing this, Su Xuan wished he could slap himself. His heart was filled with self-reproach. He gently wiped away the tears from the corners of Little Dragon Girl’s eyes and forced a smile. ”This time it’s for real. No matter where I go in the future, Junior Martial Uncle will never leave Long’er behind again...”

Long’er’s tears gradually stopped. ”Really?”

”Really!” Su Xuan nodded.

”I’ll reluctantly forgive Junior Martial Uncle then~” Little Dragon Girl broke free from Su Xuan’s embrace and wiped away her tears with her sleeve.

Then, without waiting for Su Xuan, she headed in the direction Mu Tingxue and the others had gone.

Su Xuan was about to follow, but he was stopped by a sentence from Little Dragon Girl. ”Junior Martial Uncle is not allowed to follow!”

As she walked, her ethereal voice, tinged with a hint of resentment, drifted back. ”Junior Martial Uncle, do you really think Long’er is the only one who misses you?”

”Ever since Junior Martial Uncle left, Master hasn’t had the heart to cook...”

”Grandmaster hasn’t been able to sleep at night, always dazing off in the Secret Room where Junior Martial Uncle used to Cultivate...”

”Grandmaster must still be there right now. Long’er wants Junior Martial Uncle to go coax Grandmaster, otherwise, Long’er will never talk to Junior Martial Uncle again...”

Little Dragon Girl spoke in a huff, sniffing as she did.

Little Dragon Girl knew the pain of longing best; Grandmaster surely felt it no less than she did...
