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

126: Chapter 126 FarewellThen, under Song Yunxi’s incredulous gaze,

Su Xuan spent a few more seconds mastering the ’Nine Nether Yin Nether Art’ and the ’Thousand Corpses Ten Thousand Poisons Palm’.

Watching Su Xuan practice Cultivation Techniques faster than she could drink water, Song Yunxi was utterly shocked.

Feeling that not much had changed within his body, Su Xuan was slightly disappointed.

He casually stuffed the items he had just taken out back into the system space.

He had originally thought he might gain something special from the ’Nine Nether Profound Yin Art’.

Unexpectedly, it was just worthless trash—a completely inferior technique derived from the ’Nine Nether Profound Heaven Divine Art’.

What secret of resurrection from death was there?!

Sigh~ He was foolish too. In the original work from his past life, Black and White Impermanence were revived only thanks to that old monster Yuan Tiangang...

He actually wanted to get something useful from these two old frauds...

Su Xuan couldn’t help curling his lips in disdain. Those two deserved their deaths.

*Thump~*

Seeing Song Yunxi still staring at him dumbly, Su Xuan couldn’t resist giving her a flick on the forehead.

”Ouch~” Song Yunxi gritted her silver teeth, covering her fair, tender forehead as she shot Su Xuan a resentful look. ”Why did you hit me~”

”Why are you staring at me?”

”I... I’ll stare if I want to. What’s it to you?” Song Yunxi rubbed her fair, tender forehead and rolled her pretty eyes at Su Xuan.

Though her words said otherwise, Song Yunxi still turned around, her back facing Su Xuan.

A light smile played on Su Xuan’s lips. Paying it no mind, he gently lay flat on Little Eagle’s back.

And so, Su Xuan and the others flew for two days, rested for a few hours, flew another two days, then flew a few more hours...

Another six days passed, and Su Xuan’s group finally reached the coast of the East Sea.

One eagle and two people stood on the East Sea coast, their figures looking somewhat desolate.

Seeing the trace of reluctance in Song Yunxi’s beautiful eyes, Su Xuan grinned and said, ”Want a hug?”

Over these past few days, although there remained some unspoken barrier between Su Xuan and Song Yunxi, they had clearly grown closer.

As he spoke, Su Xuan deliberately spread his arms wide, as if waiting for Song Yunxi to come in for a hug.

Seeing Su Xuan so ’shameless,’ a faint blush tinged Song Yunxi’s cheeks as she muttered softly, ”Who’d want to hug you!”

No sooner had the words left her mouth than Song Yunxi, without the slightest hesitation, turned and walked away in the opposite direction.

Watching the female emperor’s departing figure, Su Xuan smiled, unconcerned, and then turned to leave as well.

He had barely taken two steps when a softness suddenly enveloped him from behind.

He saw that Song Yunxi, somehow, had already embraced him, her jade-like hands pressed tightly against his chest.

A gentle smile touched Su Xuan’s lips. Before he could speak, he heard Song Yunxi say with a hint of shyness, ”You must come find me in the Qi Kingdom when you have time~”

Having said that, she gave Su Xuan no chance to react. Turning around, her jade-like feet lightly tapped the ground, and her figure vanished from the spot.

Only the faint fragrance lingering on Su Xuan’s body proved that Song Yunxi had hugged him.

Feeling the softness gradually fading from his back, Su Xuan couldn’t help shaking his head with a wry smile...

This woman, so strange...

She just said she wouldn’t hug, then went ahead and hugged anyway...

Go find her in the Qi Kingdom when he had time...

A gentle breeze blew, stirring the strands of hair at Su Xuan’s temples.

Coming back to his senses, Su Xuan shook his head, dispelling the thoughts in his mind, and looked toward the coastal town not far away...

First, find an inn to rest. In a few hours, he would go to Peach Blossom Island to fetch Ronger...

East Sea coast, in the small town.

Under the glow of the setting sun, the clamor of voices remained lively, with hawkers’ cries unceasing, creating a very bustling atmosphere.

Yet, in a corner of this bustling scene, someone was trying to skip out on paying.

”Hey, miss, you haven’t paid yet!” A middle-aged man carrying a bundle of candied hawthorn berries on his shoulder anxiously blocked the path of a young girl in a pink dress.

The girl looked to be in her teens, not fully grown yet, but already showing hints of a beauty-to-be, clearly a budding beauty.

Guo Fu, who had just been about to bring the candied hawthorn to her mouth, paused, her expression blank for a moment, then said casually, ”I didn’t bring money. Since your candied hawthorn is so delicious, this Young Miss will reluctantly take one stick!”

Guo Fu spoke as if it were the most natural thing, completely oblivious to the frighteningly dark expression on the candied hawthorn seller’s Face.

”No money, yet you eat candied hawthorn? Give it back!” No sooner had he spoken than the man tried to snatch it back, but Guo Fu nimbly dodged.

Guo Fu took a bite of a sugar-glazed hawthorn berry, chewing as she raised an eyebrow and said, ”Eating your candied hawthorn is giving you Face. Do you know who I am?”

Seeing that one berry of his candied hawthorn had already been eaten, the man’s Face turned even darker. ”I don’t care who you are! You little brat, you’re not leaving today without paying for my candied hawthorn!”

With that, the man rolled up his sleeves and made to grab Guo Fu.

A slight smirk touched Guo Fu’s lips. Just as she was about to make a move, someone suddenly appeared before her.

”The child doesn’t know any better. My apologies. This is for the candied hawthorn. Keep the change.”

It turned out Su Xuan had somehow suddenly appeared between the two, handing a piece of broken silver to the candied hawthorn seller.

Seeing the silver, the man’s eyes immediately lit up, and he swallowed the words he was about to say.

Hastily putting the silver to his mouth for a bite to confirm it was real, the man repeatedly bowed in thanks. ”Thank you, Young Master...”

Before the man could finish, Su Xuan waved his hand. Understanding, the man promptly left.

Guo Fu stared blankly for a moment, a flicker of disgust in her beautiful eyes, and she muttered, ”Bootlicker!”

Having said that, she didn’t even glance at Su Xuan and turned to leave.

But how could Su Xuan let her off so easily?

A light smile played on Su Xuan’s lips. With a slight shift of his feet, two seemingly casual steps directly blocked Guo Fu’s path.

Startled by the sudden appearance of someone in front of her, Guo Fu nearly dropped the candied hawthorn in her hand from the shock.

*Tap tap...*

Guo Fu retreated two steps in quick succession. Recognizing the person before her, she couldn’t help but scold, ”What are you doing? Do you know you scared me half to death?!”

As she spoke, Guo Fu raised her hand to strike, then suddenly seemed to think better of it and withdrew it. ”Forget it, forget it. Since you paid for me, I’ll let you off this once! But don’t follow me anymore. This clichéd way of striking up a conversation, this Young Miss dislikes it very much, so please leave!”

Without waiting for Su Xuan’s reply, Guo Fu turned and tried to leave again.

*Thump~*

But before she had taken two steps, a sudden pain shot through her fair, tender forehead. Guo Fu abruptly covered her forehead.
