Chapter 941: Chapter 945 Leaving
Picking up a soft wool blanket from the Taishi chair, Xia Liu gently draped it over Guo Man’s shoulders.
He glanced at the books on the table.
Xia Liu’s lips curled into a slight smile.
As expected, she was destined to walk this path.
But how could warrior techniques possibly match her identity?
To cultivate, naturally, she must train with advanced cultivation techniques.
The Imasurable Sword Art!
Still, letting her first familiarize herself with the basics of warrior customs isn’t a bad idea.
As soone born into a martial artist family, her cultivation progress in the future is bound to be swift.
Xia Liu headed to the training ground, transmitted a ssage to Guo Po, and then returned to the courtyard.
As a mortal, Guo Man still requires three als a day.
The house originally had a kitchen, but it lacked modern equipnt and relied on firewood.
This posed no challenge to Xia Liu.
He had endured far more difficult environnts in the past.
With Karmic Fire burning bright, Xia Liu began washing the rice, scrubbing the pot, and planning to make porridge for Guo Man.
Adding spiritual energy, even simple porridge could taste extraordinarily delicious.
While Xia Liu was halfway through, a charming figure leaned lazily against the doorway of the kitchen.
Her eyes reflected the scene of Xia Liu stirring oil and salt with a spoon.
After mixing everything evenly, he scooped so onto the spoon and taste-tested it directly.
“So tasty!”
Xia Liu smacked his lips in enjoynt, and as he turned, he saw Guo Man staring at him with a smirk.
“Little Man, when did you get up?”
Xia Liu had long sensed her standing there, but he chose not to let her presence affect him and simply continued with his task.
Upon seeing her, he feigned a slight look of surprise.
“If I hadn’t gotten up early, I wouldn’t have known soone was making
breakfast.”
Guo Man giggled; this guy was still the attentive man she’d known back at the villa.
In the past, she might not have expressed her feelings, but now, she felt compelled to.
“There aren’t many ingredients, but I hope you like it.”
Xia Liu scratched his head awkwardly…
“As long as you made it, I’m sure I’ll love it.”
…
Since she had already said that, any further humility from Xia Liu would co across as insincere.
Xia Liu served Guo Man a large, overflowing bowl.
The intoxicating aroma wafted upward; Guo Man couldn’t believe her senses—what on earth had he added to the porridge to make it sll so good?
She tentatively took a small bite. The grains danced on her tongue—they were smooth, yet slightly chewy.
The flavor encompassed layers of delicate fragrances, more than she could count.
Her movents picked up speed.
She seed to have beco addicted; this bowl of porridge was unquestionably the tastiest she’d ever had.
She even found herself wondering whether it was her affection for Xia Liu that made everything he cooked so irresistibly delicious.
But upon closer reflection, she realized—no, it wasn’t rely her feelings. The porridge genuinely tasted divine.
“Xia Liu, what did you add to this? Why is it so delicious?”
“I’ll tell you later.”
Xia Liu smiled faintly. If he were to explain the use of spiritual energy now, chances were she wouldn’t understand anyway.
“I think I get it now—you probably used this trick to win over those nine wives of yours, didn’t you?”
Guo Man stared at Xia Liu expressionlessly, as if she’d uncovered a major secret.
“Haha, I an, I’m incredibly handso, with martial arts cultivation at the peak level. Girls have always had difficulty resisting . Since childhood, I’ve worked hard to maintain a pure heart and not casually fall for anyone.”
“Shaless!”
“Little Man, how about I serve you another bowl?”
Xia Liu chuckled shalessly.
“No, if I eat any more, I’ll get fat and end up being disliked by soone.”
Guo Man rolled her eyes at Xia Liu, though she couldn’t help but worry that his cooking was far too good.
If she couldn’t control her appetite in the future, she might truly end up obese.
“Appearance is just a shell; don’t overthink it. If you’re hungry, you should eat.”
“Fine, then I’ll opt not to eat after all.”
Guo Man wasn’t soone to easily fall for Xia Liu’s flowery words.
Try fooling a ghost.
…
Xia Liu let out a helpless bitter laugh; it seed telling the truth these days only led to misunderstanding. Ah, how frustrating.
After so idle chit-chat, Guo Man rembered Xia Liu’s real purpose and asked, “Now that you’re back, have those two ntal thods been fully cultivated?”
“Yep, mostly done. I’d say I can unleash about seventy to eighty percent of our ancestral power.”
Xia Liu nodded. After three days and nights of intense training, both Heaven and Earth Moving Wind and Sword Drawing Technique were close to perfection.
Although he hadn’t achieved the Transford Boundary Realm, it was more than enough to astonish figures like Guo Po.
“When are you planning to leave?”
Guo Man asked with a slight tremor in her voice.
Because this ti, she would be traveling back with Xia Liu.
“If everything goes smoothly, right after I demonstrate the techniques I’ll be leaving.”
“Oh…”
“Little Man, you ntioned before that you’d be coming back with
this ti…”
Looking at Guo Man lowering her head shyly, Xia Liu reminded her.
“Did I? I don’t rember saying that.”
“Shall I knock you out and carry you back, then?”
Xia Liu grinned mischievously.
“You wouldn’t dare!”
“Of course not. So, there’s still a little ti for you to prepare.”
“Alright then, I’ll go find my mother first. I’ll co back at noon to call you.”
Guo Man giggled playfully, twisting her hands behind her back, and hopped out of the courtyard like a high-school girl.
Once Guo Man disappeared from view, Xia Liu found a quiet spot in the courtyard, sat cross-legged, and activated the Five Elents Mantra.
After three sleepless days and nights, his divine sense and spiritual energy were greatly depleted. This was the perfect mont for him to recover.
At half past eleven, Guo Man entered the courtyard with a bundle in her arms.
At the sa ti, Xia Liu opened his eyes, having already scanned the contents with his divine sense.
The bundle Guo Man carried contained various golden ornants.
Mostly bracelets and hairpins.
“Did you rest well?”
“Yes, I’m ready.”
“Then let’s go. My mother ntioned that the clan mbers are all waiting for us at the pier.”
Guo Man understood perfectly well that the mobilization of the entire clan was for Xia Liu.
It wasn’t just because of his unique status but also his pledge.
Before leaving, he vowed to demonstrate one of their ancestors’ long-lost ntal thods.
As descendants of the Guo family, none had succeeded in cultivating it. To behold their ancestor’s technique in this lifeti would undoubtedly be deeply moving.
This ti, Xia Liu took Guo Man in sword flight.
From the sky, Guo Man gazed down upon Morning City, feeling an unprecedented sense of awe.
Her family was indeed so very beautiful.
Yet, what made her slightly uncomfortable was the warm hand resting on her slender waist.
Though the palm remained still, she felt chills down her spine, goosebumps threatening to break out.
After leaving Morning City, Xia Liu found an open space to land.
Taking soone along during sword flight consud a significant amount of divine sense.
At his current skill level, which he had only recently mastered, any mishap could lead to a rather embarrassing outco.
Even before reaching the pier, Xia Liu sensed the fervent anticipation of countless individuals awaiting ahead…
