Chapter 8 Unexpected

  "What martial arts?!"

  When Chen Xiao said this, Tian Boguang, Yi Lin, and even Dongfang Yu were filled with infinite curiosity, and they all asked in unison.

  Tian Boguang was purely curious, while Yilin was thinking about how to resolve the side effects brought by this divine art. That was truly a Bodhisattva's heart, but as for Dongfang Yu, he was completely worried and confused.

  The Peony Scripture is indeed a divine martial art, but the side effects have also plagued her for many years. She has always been afraid that if she continues to practice, she may become neither male nor female. Now that she hears there might be a solution, she naturally becomes anxious.

  Chen Xiao also knew that the woman sitting in front of him was Dongfang Bubai, a true female demon king. He didn't dare to pretend not to know her, but after considering it for a moment, he said: "Miss Dongfang, yes, it's possible, but I have one condition..."

  As soon as Chen Xiao said this, Yi Lin burst out laughing and thought to herself: "Second brother won't be wanting to make a pact with her again, will he? She's the leader of the Day and Night Sect, oh dear heavens...!"

  The Eastern Jade did not directly answer yes or no, and slowly said: "Sir, you may speak first and let me hear."

  Haha, got it!

  Chen Xiao smiled and said: "Of course, we need Miss Dongfang to guarantee the safety of my three siblings. Don't let me finish speaking in front, and then you kill us from behind."

  "Okay."

  Dongfang Yu agreed without hesitation: "I agree to this request." Chen Xiao's request was reasonable and not excessive, so Dongfang Yu's agreement was naturally straightforward.

  With her identity, once she agreed, it's not like she would immediately go back on her word. Moreover, to be honest, Chen Xiao and the other two didn't actually know any secrets. Even if Chen Xiao had read "The Sunflower Manual", it was for the purpose of solving problems, not for stealing knowledge.

  After all, this thing hasn't been seen by anyone who can learn martial arts just by looking at a few pages.

  Now that Dongfang Bubai has personally guaranteed it, Chen Xiao is finally satisfied and solemnly says: "At present, a kind of martial art is needed. First, it must be a purely yin-attribute gongfu, without any yang energy. Moreover, this cannot reverse the training of the seven major yang meridians, otherwise, in the end, it will still become an androgynous person."

  "Secondly, this martial art must be cultivated to produce cold energy internally, so as to counteract the yang energy produced after sealing the seven major yin meridians. If it's just a yin-cold attribute, that's absolutely not enough."

  As soon as Chen Xiao finished speaking, all three of them started thinking at the same time.

  Pure Yin attribute, and also need to produce cold air spontaneously in the body...

  After a good while, Tian Boguang and Dongfang Yu suddenly spoke out in unison, exclaiming in surprise: "Are you referring to the Frost Palm of Wei Yixiao, the Azure Winged Bat King of the Ming Cult?!"

  Chen Xiao's heart secretly laughed, but his face remained expressionless, and he asked: "This Cold Ice Cotton Palm, what kind of martial art is it?"

  At the end of the day, it's best for Wei Yixiao to explain this kind of thing himself. "This Frost Ice Palm, is said to have an extremely yin and cold internal energy attribute, even Wei Yixiao who cultivated it had to absorb human blood every day in order to prevent freezing to death. However..."

  "What's that?" Chen Xiao asked curiously.

  "Only, it's said that he's a cultivator who has gone mad from entering the fire..."

  Dongfang Yu also nodded slowly, expressing her agreement with Tian Boguang's words.

  Chen Xiao pretended to think carefully for a while, before finally nodding and saying: "That shouldn't be a problem. As the saying goes, 'a thousand changes don't depart from the fundamental principle'. If I were to see this secret manual, I would basically understand the route of the exercise method, and with some slight modifications, it wouldn't be a big deal!"

  Haha, I'm a tech geek, and I don't need to explain how awesome I am!

  Tech nerds save the world!

  "The Sunflower Manual" combined with "Frosty Ice Palm", these two martial arts will be merged together, who knows what kind of power it will bring out, this is really something to look forward to!

  As expected, as soon as Chen Xiao finished speaking, the system's prompt sounded in his mind: "Host has completed parsing 'Huī Huā Bǎo Diǎn'. Comprehensive evaluation level: Good. Task reward: Dongfang Bubai favorability +10, Jianghu prestige +3, internal force cultivation reward: 3 years. Host's killing restriction lifted, freedom increased."

  "Follow-up mainline task released: Perfect the 'Sunflower Manual', no time limit. Task completion reward: 10 years of internal skill cultivation (automatically added after the host cultivates the internal skill mantra)."

  I... I'm so relieved! The task is finally completed, hahaha! Now there's no more restriction on wiping out anything!

  This is really a guarantee of personal safety, carefree and happy haha!

  As for that internal skill cultivation, compared to one's own life, it's still not enough, haha!

  Chen Xiao was overjoyed in his heart, but Dongfang Yu's heart was filled with a mix of emotions.

  Regardless of whether Chen Xiao was telling the truth or not, there was some reason to it. Dongfang Yu also knew that such things could only be believed to exist if they did. If this method couldn't solve the problem, then there probably wasn't any other way in the short term. He said: "In that case, I'll write a letter and have Zhang Wuji send someone to deliver the 'Hàn Bīng Miǎn Zhǎng'."

  It's easy for her to say that, but Chen Xiao was suddenly shocked and covered in cold sweat.

  Sister, that's Zhang Wuji we're talking about! The Zhang Wuji with the Nine Yang Divine Skill and the Grand Shift of Heaven and Earth! One of the six top masters whose abilities are on par with yours. Are you really so careless as to ask him to deliver the secret manual to you?

  As expected, it's a man who has practiced martial arts and has high levels of male hormones, this way of doing things is just as bold and uninhibited as a man's...

  Chen Xiao listened with a cold sweat, but he also had no way out. This imperial sister seemed to still need to be slowly nurtured before she could become the most lovely, gentle, beautiful and understanding Eastern beauty. For now, it was...

  Yes, calling him Jade Brother should be fine!

  At this moment, Yilin, who was sitting beside her, curiously asked: "Then, Dongfang sister, what if that Zhang Wuji master refuses to send the secret book over?"

  Her big eyes blinked rapidly, and her breathing became somewhat urgent, it was clear that she was anxious about Dongfang Yu.

  But unexpectedly, Dongfang Yuhao said indifferently: "What's the big deal, at most we'll just be killed on Guangming Peak."

  Kill... Kill on the Bright Peak!

  What the...! This can't be the Interdimensional version of the Siege of the Bright Peak, right?! That scene was triggered by me like this?!

  Let's consider those things later, at least for now, the three of us siblings' lives are safe.

  It just so happened that Chen Xiao was a tech enthusiast, and whenever he had free time, he loved to study all sorts of things, without the constraints of the conventional rules of the Jianghu world.

  If it were someone else, they would naturally have some reservations about this martial art and wouldn't dare to look at someone else's secret manual even if they were beaten to death.

  But Chen Xiao dared.

  He was an ordinary person with no martial arts skills, and even if he had seen it, he wouldn't have caused much concern for others. This is also why Dongfang Bubai didn't kill him when he first flipped through the secret book. Otherwise, if a powerful martial artist had come over, how could he have been so careless as to look at this "Huāhuā Bǎodiǎn"?

  Now that everything has settled, Dongfang Bubai will naturally not make a move on Chen Xiao again, and will even have to protect him.

  However, Chen Xiao's safety doesn't necessarily mean Tian Boguang will also enjoy good fortune. Dongfang Yu turned her head to look at Tian Boguang and said indifferently: "Your lightness skill is good, you go take care of sending the message."

  Tian Boguang: "......"

  Now Tian Boguang really feels wronged and sad, is it that being good at lightness kung fu can only be used for running errands?...

  But if the three siblings can survive, that's better than anything else. Tian Boguang didn't dare refuse and agreed without hesitation: "Alright, this is something I should do anyway."

  Now that the problem has a clear direction, Dongfang Bubai immediately writes a letter, seals it with melted wax and hands it to Tian Boguang, saying: "After things are done, I'll let you be a helmsman in my Day and Night Divine Sect, responsible for gathering news from the Jianghu."

  Although the distinction between good and evil is not clear-cut, it's still better than being a lustful thief. Yilin just lowered her head to chant Buddhist scriptures, not daring to speak. Chen Xiao didn't have any clear distinction between good and evil, he was just happy for Tian Boguang.

  Tian Boguang was overjoyed with the great support of Dongfang Bubai, and without saying another word, he opened up his light skill, and in the blink of an eye, he vanished into thin air.

  Dongfang Yu was in a good mood today, the side effects of the Kuihua Divine Art had been troubling her for years, and now she finally saw some hope for a solution. She found Chen Xiao naturally pleasing to the eye, and looking at Yilin also made her feel quite close. She spoke softly: "I don't even know this sister's name?"

  Listening to her talk, Chen Xiao felt a chill run down his spine. Practicing the Lingering Heart Sutra could lead to yin-yang imbalance, and it was not good to say that now Dongfang Bubai might be a hundred flowers in one, who dared to let her come into contact with Yilin sister? He hastily introduced in a low voice: "This is our newly sworn three younger sister, named Yilin, from the Hengshan Sect."

  "Little nun?"

  Dongfang Yu took a closer look at Yilin's small face, and the more he looked, the more he liked it. Suddenly, he said disdainfully: "What's the point of following those old nuns? Why not come to our Dayue God Sect instead? I'll make you our sect's second Holy Maiden."

  Damn it, this guy is really good-looking and has a great background, he's already given me a holy girl as soon as he opened his mouth, isn't that awesome!

  Yi Lin's face turned bright red as she hastily declined, "Amitabha, I, I only want to chant Buddha's name every day, but I don't dare to become a Sheng Gu."

  Yi Lin suddenly exclaimed, "Oh no, I almost forgot! I have to hurry to Liu Zhengfeng's place, or else Master and the others will be worried!"

  This is indeed the case, we must hurry to send Yilin sister to her master's hands, otherwise in this chaotic and treacherous world of rivers and lakes, who knows how anxious it will be later. Chen Xiao immediately stood up and said: "Anyway, there's nothing urgent for the time being, I'll take Yilin sister to your master first."

  Dongfang Yulai came here, originally to handle a matter within the gang. Now that it's almost done, he stood up and said: "In that case, I'll go with you too. Let's go." He glanced at the "Kuihua Baodian" and said casually: "Leave this Kuihua Baodian with you for now, study it more, and improve it in the future."

  When she said she wanted to go with him, Chen Xiao suddenly felt a chill run down his spine.

  Originally, there was a Tian Boguang, Tian Dage, but as long as he didn't make too much of a scene, it would be over and done with, no big deal. Now that Tian Boguang has become Dongfang Bubai, this is a female demon king, who kills without batting an eye, so don't end up with rivers of blood later on...

  Thinking of this, Chen Xiao hastily added insurance to the matter: "That... that... Dongfang girl, you see, Yilin's master is now going to attend Liu Zhengfeng's senior's Golden Basin Washing Hands ceremony. With your... your... Shendao Sect Master appearing in person, this identity is a bit overwhelming. Why don't we find a place to settle down first? I'll send Yilin over myself..."

  This is Dongfang Bubai, she's going to Liu Zhengfeng's house, the consequences are unpredictable, unpredictable!

  But unexpectedly, Dongfang Yuleng snorted and said: "Cut the nonsense. Are you going or not?"

  "I'm going, I'm going! Isn't it okay?! Let's set off!"

  Chen Xiao put away the "Sunflower Treasure Book", muttering to himself as he walked out the door, drawing a cross on his chest: "Amitabha, Jesus Christ God bless me, please don't let anything go wrong, my little heart can't take it..."

  Who would have thought that Chen Xiao had just opened the door and looked at the more than twenty people in front of him, and was immediately stunned.
