Chapter 21: Sleeping in the Same Room

  "【Tomb Map】: A scroll depicting the detailed route of the ancient tomb of Zhongnan Mountain, including the distribution of chambers, mechanism settings, and entrance passages."

  "Haha, the ancient tomb map is so detailed, it's as if heaven is helping me."

  Wu Ming's heart was extremely excited, this book immortal system had helped him a great deal. With this ancient tomb map, he should be able to find the Nine Yin Scripture very easily from now on.

  Wu Ming, who was excited, wanted to take a look at the map scroll in his mind, but heard Xiao Longnu say coldly: "If you want to learn kung fu, why are you standing there smiling foolishly? Hurry up and go to bed, I'll teach you the introductory breathing technique of the Ancient Tomb Sect later."

  "Alright, Shifu Jie." The map was anyway placed in the Book Spirit System space, and there was no hurry to check it immediately. So Wu Ming quickly nodded in response, walked swiftly to the bedside, took off his shoes, and climbed onto the bed.

  As soon as he came into contact with the bed, a chill that pierced his heart was transmitted to Wu Ming's body through the bed board.

  However, Wu Ming had the Spring Yang Melt Snow skill in his body, and after continuously absorbing more than 20% of the internal strength of Yin Zhiping and Zhao Zijian, he already had a strong foundation, so there was no need to worry about not being able to withstand it.

  Moreover, what made Wu Ming feel particularly surprised was that when this chill invaded his body, the Spring Sun Melting Snow skill automatically activated, not only converting this extreme cold air into internal energy, but also producing a warm and cozy feeling in his body, which felt extremely comfortable.

  The magical use of this bed, Wu Ming, who was familiar with the divine eagle, had long been clear, but now that he was actually experiencing it in person, Wu Ming couldn't help but marvel at the wonders of nature, which could create such a mysterious stone.

  Moreover, Wu Ming secretly smiled to himself. This little dragon girl intentionally didn't tell him beforehand that the bed was so cold, probably because she had a pure heart and wanted to tease him. It seems that deep down, this little dragon girl also has an unbroken childlike innocence.

  Since that's the case, Wu Ming felt that if he didn't cooperate with his opponent a bit, life in the ancient tomb wouldn't be very interesting?

  "Ah... it's so cold! Sister, there's something strange about this bed." Wu Ming feigned a startled expression and jumped down from the stone bed with his bare feet.

  "Just right." Little Dragon Girl saw Wu Ming frightened and disheveled, although she was reserved, but almost burst out laughing.

  "Sister, so you were intentionally teasing me." Seeing the seemingly smiling but actually suppressing Xiaolongnu, Wu Ming felt that his earlier disguise had really paid off. At this moment, Xiaolongnu was completely merged with the female volunteer from before, whether it was her appearance or demeanor, they were all consistent.

  At this moment, Wu Ming was really confused, what on earth was going on?

  At that moment when Wu Ming was hesitating, he heard Xiao Longnu say with a smile: "Who is teasing you? This bed is like this. How many heroes and heroes in the world want to sleep but don't have this chance?"

  "Is there something magical about this bed? Master sister, hurry up and tell me." Wu Ming deliberately showed a curious expression, then put on a good student's appearance, listening attentively to her teachings.

  Wu Ming's facial expressions and movements are very rich, plus his handsome appearance makes him look very likable.

  Xiaolongnv has always lived in the ancient tomb, as a child she only had her master and Sun Bao's accompaniment by her side. Due to practicing the Jade Maiden Heart Sutra from a young age, she had to eliminate joy, anger, sorrow, and pleasure. In fact, it was equivalent to suppressing her childish heart all along. Now suddenly seeing Wu Ming, such an adorable child, plus accepting him as her junior brother afterwards, her heart has already lost any guard, naturally filling with affection for this child.

  The little dragon girl was used to being cold, and even if she was happy in her heart, she still said indifferently: "Okay, since you want to listen, I'll introduce you to the origin and use of this stone bed in detail. This bed is made of ancient cold jade..."

  "Is it an icy jade? Isn't it just a stone?"

  "Have you ever seen such cold stones?"

  "This is indeed something I've never seen before."

  "This ancient cold jade was excavated by our ancestors after seven years of hard work in the extreme north, under hundreds of feet of solid ice. Practicing on this jade bed for a year is equivalent to ten years of practice elsewhere. Is it good or not? If all the heroes and warriors in the world knew about it, wouldn't everyone want to sleep on this bed to cultivate their skills?"

  "This bed is so wonderful, everyone wants to sleep."

  Although Wu Ming had long known the origin and purpose of the stone bed, listening to Xiaolongnu's gentle narration was a unique charm, especially her voice was extremely soft and pleasant to hear, even if slightly cold, but still made Wu Ming's heart excited.

  Seeing Wu Ming's delighted expression, the little dragon girl's heart was even more joyful and continued to introduce: "At first, you may feel extremely cold when sleeping on the bed, but if you practice internal energy to resist it, after a long time, you will naturally get used to it. Even in your dreams, you will automatically practice internal energy to resist the cold..."

  "This is too awesome, Master Sister, you let me sleep in such a good bed, you're too good to me."

  "It's fine if you know. Alright, go to bed first, I'll teach you how to spit out and absorb the air soon."

  "Alright, sister," Wu Ming replied before hastily climbing back onto the bed.

  "Sit cross-legged and listen to my mantra."

  "Oh." Wu Ming sat cross-legged, and immediately Little Dragon Maiden began teaching him the introductory techniques of the Ancient Tomb Sect.

  With the Spring Sun Melting Snow skill, and about to obtain the Nine Yin True Classics, Wu Ming naturally wouldn't go learn the ancient tomb sect's entry-level skills. However, remembering them wouldn't be a loss, so Wu Ming patiently listened, then pretended to start practicing breathing exercises.

  After a while, Little Dragon Girl asked: "How is it? Is it still cold?"

  Wu Ming shook his head and said, "It's not cold anymore, what you passed on to me is really mysterious."

  When Wu Ming said this, Xiaolongnv also felt a strange sense of happiness in her heart and lightly said: "This is just the most basic introductory breathing exercise of our Ancient Tomb Sect. Once you have a certain foundation, I will then pass on to you the subsequent exercises."

  "Sister, you're really too good to me."

  "Know that I'm good to you, so in the future you'd better listen to me."

  "Uh-huh, Sister Shifu, I'll listen." Wu Ming nodded in agreement, but secretly smiled to himself, thinking that it was still uncertain who would be listening to whom in the future.

  "It's useless to just agree verbally, I'll be watching your performance from now on. Alright, you can practice on this bed tonight, I'm going to sleep too."

  "Sister, where are you sleeping?" Although the Little Dragon Girl in The Legend of the Condor Hero slept on a rope, Wu Ming still found it somewhat unbelievable.

  "You don't have to worry, I naturally have my own place to sleep." After finishing speaking, the little dragon girl quickly took out a rope and tied it in the corner of the room. Then she jumped up, as if performing acrobatics, and lay flat on the thin rope, looking incredibly skilled.

  Wu Ming was stunned and couldn't help but sincerely praise: "Sister, you're so amazing, you can even sleep like this."

  The little dragon girl said faintly: "This doesn't count as anything, once you've practiced your kung fu well, you'll be the same. Alright, don't get distracted, continue practicing, I'm going to blow out the candle."

  Little Dragon Girl finished speaking, tilted her head, and blew out a stream of air from her mouth, instantly extinguishing the candle.

  In the darkness, Wu Ming couldn't see Xiao Longnu's body clearly, but that faint and delicate fragrance was like a lotus flower, clearly entering his nostrils, making him deeply understand that this wasn't a dream, but he really slept in the same room as Xiao Longnu.
