Chapter 4, Surprise Attack!

It is already quite good that I was not made to sleep outside

On one hand, Xuanyuan trusts his own feelings; on the other hand, he believes that a woman like Yin Zhenluo could easily kill him with just a finger. However, the fact that she is willing to teach him cultivation is a tremendous favor, and he does not dare to doubt anything.

After speaking, Xuanyuan broke the already hardened jerky in his hand, sharing it with Guxing, and began to gnaw on it. Upon witnessing this scene, Yin Zhenluo suddenly felt a tinge of bitterness; coming from a privileged family background, Xuanyuan was naturally not comparable to her.

A ray of the setting sun's afterglow filters through the tree windows and spills into the tree house

Xuanyuan still wore a cheerful smile on his face

Yin Zhenluo looked at the desolation in Xuanyuan's eyes, feeling an inexplicable pang in her heart. She let out a slight sigh and said nothing more.

Heavens, what kind of medicine is this? It is astonishingly powerful!

Having taken the wooden plate from Xuanyuan's hands, she focused her attention on the delicacies within the plate, particularly on Yin Zhenluo. Unaware of Xuanyuan's gaze, she naturally had no idea what thoughts were occupying his mind.

Hmm, Xuanyuan, where are your parents

For a moment, Xuanyuan seemed to truly enjoy this feeling of tranquility; if only this moment could last forever, just quietly watching...

Yin Zhenluo's smile is as beautiful as a flower, intoxicatingly lovely

This is not called a sneak attack; it is clearly a death wish

"Master Beauty, this is a token of my respect for you"

He took out a small silver knife from his body, sliced a thin piece of meat, put it into his mouth, and began to chew it slowly, feeling an indescribable deliciousness.

Yin Zhenluo looked at Xuanyuan's playful smile. Although Xuanyuan's appearance was not particularly handsome, his smile gave off a uniquely clean and enduring charm.

In the deep pit of the tree house center, a whole roasted pig is skewered on a barbecue grill, clearly a masterpiece of Xuanyuan. Having acquired the memories of this body's past life, he is naturally adept at such tasks. Various natural seasonings are sprinkled, and the mouthwatering aroma of the meat wafts through the tree house.

I am an orphan, without parents, only the solitary star and the solitary moon. However, the solitary moon was recently killed by the son of the lord of Moon Desolation City, Yue Jue

Xuan Yuan, after all, was merely a middle school student in his previous life. Although he had been a beggar since childhood, witnessing the warmth and coldness of human relationships and the harshness of society, he developed an innate ability to discern good and bad in people at first glance. What is a beggar? A beggar is someone who must beg from others every day. Occasionally, Xuan Yuan would exchange a few words with a down-and-out fortune teller, thus acquiring some skills in face reading and insights. He held no guard against Yin Zhenluo.

Xuanyuan wiped his mouth and hurriedly nodded, saying

Xuan Yuan, in the stream, removed his clothes and books that were covered in dirt, and after letting them drift away with the current, began to swim in the water like a fish

Xuanyuan plunged headfirst into the small stream not far from the tree house

Meanwhile, the solitary star beside them was already drooling. At this moment, Yin Zhenluo was sitting cross-legged on the ground, watching Xuanyuan's focused expression with great interest, and slowly said

Yin Zhenluo shot Xuanyuan a glance filled with both anger and amusement, stood up, and walked step by step to the tree bed, lying down and saying

I can't tell, your skills are quite impressive

Xuanyuan drooled and nodded his head

You can make it into jerky, whatever you eat, I will eat as well, no need to prepare anything special, starting from tomorrow, the training begins

Beautiful Master, I have arrived

The setting sun is infinitely beautiful, yet it is merely close to dusk

Xuan Yuan paused for a moment in his action of gnawing on the jerky upon hearing Yin Zhenluo's words, a hint of desolation flashing in his eyes. Whether in his past life or this one, he was an orphan without parents. After a brief pause, Xuan Yuan finally spoke

Xuan Yuan, while gnawing on jerky, observed Yin Zhenluo's actions as she ate meat. Each movement, each chew was deliberate, exuding an air of elegance that was beyond reproach

Why do you want to eat those jerky? Isn't it better to eat freshly baked meat

Rest now, I will sleep on the bed, and you will sleep on the floor

"This is more like it." Although Yin Zhenluo and Tu Shuran have cultivated to a certain level, they have not reached the point where they can go without food and drink. With delicious food before them, they naturally would not refuse.

Xuanyuan sprinkled a bit of healing medicine on the gaping wound on his chest, and the scabbed injury, which had been seeping a little blood, gradually began to slowly peel away

The solitary star is guarding Xuanyuan's belongings on the bank of the stream, which include a set of clean linen clothes, a bottle of healing medicine exuding a refreshing aura, and a dagger that is rusty and pitch-black.

Upon witnessing this scene, Xuanyuan was greatly astonished

Starting from tonight, you may ambush me at any time and under any circumstances. If the ambush is successful, you may do as you please.

The solitary star did not roar at Yin Zhenluo as before, issuing threatening sounds; in its wolf-like eyes, there seemed to be a hint of gloating.

Xuan Yuan smiled lightly, not caring much. After completing all of this, he picked up the rusted dagger in his hand and sliced through the meat as if it were clay, placing the most tender and delicious parts into the wooden platter, which he then presented in front of Yin Zhenluo, grinning broadly and saying

While showing respect to Yin Zhenluo, Xuanyuan's eyes involuntarily drifted down to her collarbone, his heart pounding. Xuanyuan took a deep breath, quickly composed himself, and immediately shifted his gaze, reinforcing his inner resolve and commitment to his studies.

"Moreover, since you have already taken me as your master, I shall establish a rule first." Yin Zhenluo lay on the wooden bed, turned to her side, her pair of bright eyes, under the illumination of the moonlight, gentle as water, once again captivated Xuanyuan.

Xuanyuan understood that being alone in this world, such an exceptional healing medicine must not be wasted; every drop can sometimes be the key to saving a life

Of course, it is definitely better than you

Today marks the day I become your apprentice, and of course, I must treat my beautiful master to a good meal. Originally, this little wild boar would be enough for both me and Gu Xing for two days. If we eat sparingly, it could last even longer. However, the Monster Forest often has powerful beasts roaming about, and it is not always possible to successfully hunt prey every day. The dried meat that Gu Xing and I consume is the same.

Xuan Yuan, Xuan Yuan, in the future, you must find a wife like Master Yin Zhenluo, so you must work hard to cultivate; otherwise, if you cannot even defeat a woman, it would be quite embarrassing

Yin Zhenluo sighed silently, her jade-like fingers flicked lightly, and a gust of strong wind struck directly at Xuanyuan's forehead, sending him flying and rolling on the ground three or four times in a very awkward manner

Yin Zhenluo was taken aback; her identity rendered her exempt from these matters. With a cold snort, Yin Zhenluo fell silent.

Thus, Xuanyuan, being very frugal, sprinkled a little of the healing medicine onto the relatively large wound after it began to solidify. He quickly put on a change of clothes and, as if it were a treasure, concealed the bottle of healing medicine in the hidden pocket of his garment. After completing all this, Xuanyuan hurried towards the tree house, his heart racing.

It was only when she looked at Xuanyuan that she discovered Xuanyuan and Guxing were sharing dried meat. Yin Zhenluo was taken aback for a moment and asked in confusion:

It is unclear how much time has passed, but the sky has already darkened. A beam of moonlight filters through the tree windows, illuminating the center of the tree house. Yin Zhenluo sits cross-legged with her eyes closed, appearing like a celestial being from the Moon Palace, isolated from the world, ethereal and unworldly. Xuan Yuan gazes at her, somewhat entranced.

Yin Zhenluo opened her beautiful eyes and looked at Xuanyuan, who was gazing at her with infatuation. She pointed at the roasted suckling pig in front of her and said

Xuan Yuan felt a sense of unwillingness. That night, Xuan Yuan launched a surprise attack on Yin Zhenluo seventeen times, and each time he did not even touch a strand of Yin Zhenluo's hair, resulting in a disastrous outcome.

Upon hearing this, Xuan Yuan's eyes sparkled with brilliance, his powerful body trembled, and saliva flowed as if he were a hungry wolf, directly pouncing fiercely towards Yin Zhenluo.

Moments later, Xuanyuan finally washed himself clean and emerged from the water completely naked. He grabbed the bottle of healing medicine that Yin Zhenluo had given him, opened the cap, and a refreshing aroma rushed to Xuanyuan's forehead, making him feel incredibly at ease, as if merely inhaling this scent could significantly alleviate his injuries.

Xuanyuan glanced at Yin Zhenluo and said with a confident smile
