Chapter 7, Measurement of Degrees

After Qiu Difei steadied herself, she spoke to Mu Qianshan with an expression of utmost seriousness: "Hero Mu, I am a woman of no virtue and no ability. The only thing I can still call precious at the age of seventeen is my chastity. I implore you, Hero Mu, to show mercy and spare Xiangxiang. If Xiangxiang truly has to... to lose her garments and endure your training, she will certainly seek death!"

The better one's appearance, the less kindness one possesses within

Go accompany the burial, what is so remarkable about it

Qiu Difei rudely rolled up his sleeves to wipe away the tears on his face, and then, in a tone of reckless abandon, said to Mu Qianshan: "If we are going to do it, then let’s do it! If we are going to strip, then let’s strip! What’s the big deal! But you have to promise me that we both cover our eyes with cloth strips! Otherwise, you can go ahead and level whichever villa you like, I don’t care, at worst we all die together, what’s the big deal!"

Location: a place where birds do not defecate, chickens do not lay eggs, not a blade of grass grows, and there are no living creatures

Qiu Difei added a concluding remark in her mind

How petty can a man be? With two people riding together, the horse won't die!

The bright smile on Qiu Difei's face suddenly faded

it is also her home

Qiu Difei thought to herself with tears in her eyes: When will these days come to an end! Sooner or later, I will go mad!

Qiu Difei stared defiantly at Mu Qianshan, her unblinking eyes wide open. They gradually filled with glistening tears.

It is also her father and sisters

Let a young woman go to harness the horse for the cart

Mu Qianshan said in a cool and breezy manner: "Xiangxiang, as for me, I am the master of the Tianque Palace, the foremost in the martial world, and my skills in using and administering poison are unparalleled. Moreover, I am not just an ordinary person of delicate beauty; not just anyone can ride alongside the master of the Tianque Palace. It is well known that those who can ride alongside the master of the Tianque Palace must be the mistress of the Tianque Palace. Xiangxiang, could it be that you have some romantic thoughts about the position of the elder sister-in-law?"

If Qiu Difei had not been poisoned by the Half-Moon Heartbreak Powder, he would have loved nothing more than to slap the enchanting figure before him, who was laughing with such vigor, and to kill him on the spot in a scene splattered with blood and gore

Qiu Difei does not dare to speak the truth; she can only feign ignorance and flatteringly say: "It is not fear... it is respect... it is reverence..."

Thus, Mu Qianshan adjusted his expression and replied to Qiu Difei with an even more serious demeanor than when he had just mentioned silencing them, saying: "Alright, I will comply with you! We will all blindfold ourselves and start again!"

The stronger the martial arts skills become, the more unstable the mind tends to be

After an unknown amount of time spent burning incense, Qiudi Fei felt utterly exhausted

Mu Qianshan was originally walking leisurely ahead. However, he suddenly stopped. Then, he turned around sharply and said to Qiudi Fei with a smile, "Xiangxiang, I am the master of the Tianque Palace, and I am also the number one in the martial world. Moreover, my skills in using and handling poison are unparalleled in the world. Xiangxiang, tell me, would it be a hardship for you if I asked you to help me lead the horse all the way down this path?"

He looked at the girl before him; she was clearly frail and shivering to the point of trembling, yet in order to preserve her innocence, she stubbornly gritted her teeth and remained motionless

As Qiu Difei's legs went weak, she nearly fell to the ground. Fortunately, at that moment, there was a lazy horse nearby for her to lean on

This stunning young man is a living embodiment of reality

He must have practiced the method of manipulating the roundworm in others' stomachs

Then, resent a p

Mu Qianshan paused again, then turned around, still wearing a smiling and amiable expression as he spoke to Qiudifei: "Originally, if we had taken the carriage, we should have arrived at Baihua Valley around midnight, and you would help me with my cultivation there. However, Xiangxiang, you are truly too mischievous; you have completely worn out the carriage, and there is no one around here to buy a new one. Therefore, I think that if we walk to Baihua Valley, it will probably take us at least three days to get there."

She summarized a sentence in her heart

Qiu Difei listened with a sense of partial understanding, feeling confused and anxious, and asked: "Elder brother, it is not about practicing skills... that requires some kind of... harmony or something, right?"

It is also about caring for her senior brothers and sisters, as well as the innocent temporary workers.

Qiu Difei is quite baffled. It is not as if she paid for the carriage herself. Moreover, this demon man did not say that she would have to compensate for it

Mu Qianshan continued, "Because the Hundred Flower Valley has a barrier of a hundred flowers, Sister Xiangxiang won't be too shy, hehe..."

Qiu Difei followed Mu Qianshan while leading a horse, secretly making a disdainful face in her heart

Cut

Qiu Difei, following Mu Qianshan's instructions, unhitched the lazy horse from the dilapidated cart and led it along the way

Mu Qianshan replied cheerfully, "That is not necessary. However, it is essential to retreat from the robes; otherwise, whether you are foolish or not, you will inevitably fall into madness. Alas, tonight, the Hundred Flowers Valley will certainly be inaccessible, so I am trying to see if there are any dilapidated temples or similar places around. Sister Xiangxiang, after all, it is not appropriate for you to be exposed to the elements like this, is it? Hehehe..."

Mu Qianshan is the most miserly person in the world

Qiu Difei was filled with resentment as she thought. Then, tears streamed down her cheeks in large drops.

Qiu Difei replied with a shy smile: "No... no, where is the stuttering... this is merely Xiangxiang's admiration for you, big brother... it has truly become overwhelming, I couldn't help but speak up... before I could finish my sentence, it was... cut off prematurely... that's all, hehe..."

Qiu Difei this time would rather slap herself to death than endure it any longer

Alternatively, it is quite possible that he is the reincarnation of a roundworm spirit

Qiu Difei saw Mu Qianshan leisurely walking ahead, step by step, step by step... Unable to contain herself, she asked Mu Qianshan: "Elder brother, could you tell Xiangxiang where we are headed now?"

The dimly lit moonlight cast a glow on Qiu Difei's cheeks, making her skin appear almost translucent. The seventeen-year-old frail girl, who had been timidly pretending to be oblivious along the way, suddenly took on a serious demeanor at this moment, causing Mu Qianshan to be momentarily taken aback.

Nonsense. I would never be willing.

Time: As the day gradually wanes, the evening glow spreads, a gentle breeze blows, and the crescent moon becomes increasingly bright

Qiu Difei could no longer hold on and once again pleaded with Mu Qianshan, saying: "Big... big brother, how about we... take a break? I am... so tired... very tired!"

Qiu Difei thought resentfully: How is it that every time she secretly thinks of something, he can always guess it?

Mu Qianshan let out a thoughtful "oh". Then he said: "Xiangxiang, big brother, is it really that terrifying?"

Qiu Difei weakly replied to Mu Qianshan, "Elder brother, Xiangxiang is my sister-in-law, I cannot bear the title of 'big sister-in-law' beside you. I beg you, please do not scare me anymore!"

Mu Qianshan did not smile this time. He was very serious. He solemnly told Qiudifei: "If you dare to die, I will bury the entire Qiuyang Villa with you"

Mu Qianshan chuckled and said: I will not blame you, but when we practice later, you will surely hate yourself for it, hehe...

She herself was not only tired, hungry, and sleepy, but also had to lead a lazy horse that was even less willing to move than she was. Damn lazy horse

Mu Qianshan looked at the girl in front of him, who was so provoked by his teasing that she was about to jump in frustration, and a strange feeling began to rise within him

Yes. You are just like a madman. I have no idea what you are trying to do. Moreover, you carry a bunch of inexplicable poisons with you when you go out. Who wouldn't be afraid of you? Who is a bigger madman than you?

Mu Qianshan saw Qiudifei's expression of embarrassment and humility, which made him feel delighted, and he laughed heartily with his head held high

The greatest enjoyment in his life has always been to derive pleasure from teasing and tormenting others, much like how one would with a playful spirit. The more anxious and helpless those he plays tricks on become, the happier and more delighted he feels.

Looking at the girl's stubborn face, which was resolutely set after she wiped away her tears and made her demands as if she had burned her boats, he found himself somewhat reluctant to continue teasing her

Qiu Difei did not know where she was at that moment. She had never ventured beyond a radius of five hundred miles from Qiu Yang Mountain Villa.

Qiu Difei was very annoyed. On this day, practicing the Heart Sutra felt just like practicing the Jade Woman Heart Sutra, both requiring people to undress. This is simply a lewd version of the Heart Sutra

Being good-looking is not a fault, but being good-looking and narcissistic is indeed a sin

Qudifei destroyed the carriage

Mu Qianshan turned his head from the front, then spoke with a thoughtful expression, saying: "Xiangxiang, when did you start to stutter?"

When he saw the few large teardrops rolling down Qiu Difei's face in the moonlight, he suddenly realized that the girl before him was, in fact, extraordinarily beautiful

Qiu Difei put on a facade of a false smile and said to Mu Qianshan: "Elder brother, being able to hold the horse for you is a blessing that Xiangxiang has earned over several lifetimes, and I am more than happy to do so"

Qiu Difei shook her head. She was neither insane nor a spirit of the roundworm. How could she possibly know that

Mu Qianshan chuckled and said, "If I ride a horse, Xiangxiang, you will have a hard time running on the ground. Besides, how could you possibly catch up with me!"

Qiu Difei glanced around and made a mental assessment

This person is truly unlikable, despite being so good-looking

If it is to be a burial companion, then so be it

However, he seems a bit off today

The character: the enigmatic Mu Qianshan. And, the unfortunate self.

As soon as she finished summarizing, Mu Qianshan seemed to have a sudden insight into her thoughts, as if the spirit of the tapeworm had manifested again.

After all, she is not loved by her father or mother at Qiu Yang Mountain Villa

Qiu Difei forced herself to put a smile back on her face and eagerly asked again, "Elder brother, although we no longer have a carriage, isn't riding a horse faster than sitting in a carriage? So... how about we ride a horse instead?"

Mu Qianshan chuckled mischievously for a while, then said to Qiu Difei: "Xiangxiang, we will have to perform the first cultivation soon. Do you know why I chose to have you assist me in the Hundred Flowers Valley for this?"

Truly lacks a manly demeanor
