Chapter 116: Chapter 94 Jiang is Very Honest_2

How to circulate qi, how to grasp the timing of a punch, how to rely on coordination throughout the body, how to better utilize the waist axis, taking the heart as the commander, how to burst out that crushing power in an instant—all these had to be explored and applied in practice to achieve a refined state.

Dressed in a red bridal gown, the Snake Demon Mengniang stood prettily at the door, watching Jiang Shouzhong practice his punches.

Perhaps due to her snake nature, Mengniang’s figure appeared exceptionally tall, and one could imagine that the pair of slender jade legs beneath her skirt were indeed thin, straight, and white. It wouldn’t be too much to jokingly say "everything below the neck is legs."

After completing a set of punches, Jiang Shouzhong said to the woman, "Master Li should have told you about my requirements."

Mengniang nodded coldly, "He did. I’ll try to keep a distance of thirty steps from you and not initiate any trouble. Also, I have some conditions that I need to negotiate with you beforehand."

"Hmm, go ahead."

Jiang Shouzhong picked up a towel to wipe the sweat off his forehead.

Mengniang tilted her lovely chin upwards, her expression haughty and indifferent, "First, I am not your maid or concubine, so don’t expect me to serve you, and certainly don’t hope for me to do those things with you."

Jiang Shouzhong chuckled silently, "I’m not interested in demons."

Mengniang snorted sharply, then continued indifferently, "Second, I’m not your guard. I only ensure your survival. I won’t actively help you deal with enemies. If you have a conflict with anyone, I will just watch coldly. Only if you are truly in mortal danger will I intervene to save you. Most importantly, if your friends or companions are in danger, it has nothing to do with me, so don’t expect to command me."

Jiang Shouzhong nodded, "Of course, I only want an amulet; I never intended to treat you like a tool."

Seeing no opposition from him, Mengniang’s frosty face softened a bit and she continued, "Third, if the enemies you encounter are stronger than me, I will not hesitate to abandon you to save my own life!"

"No problem, I would do the same," Jiang Shouzhong replied with a smile.

The woman was a bit puzzled.

Was this guy really so easy to talk to? Shouldn’t he negotiate a bit?

She had brought out her bottom line and presence in a fury, intending to crush some of his unrealistic notions and prevent him from manipulating her as Li Guanshi did.

Forget about any thoughts of warming her bed or serving her.

Yet, it seemed he had no intention of taking advantage of her.

Jiang Shouzhong then asked, "You must hate that woman for forcibly tying you to me, right?"

"Hate?"

Mengniang seemed to hear a big joke, her eyes icy, "Jiang Mo, I not only don’t hate her, but I actually resent you! Because she is too strong for me to dare to hate her, I cannot even harbor any thoughts of resentment. Therefore, I can only direct my resentment towards you, because you are weak! Do you think I’m unreasonable and despicable? Well, let me tell you, this world operates exactly like that—you are right if you are strong, and you are wrong if you are weak!"

Jiang Shouzhong nodded in agreement, "The truth is indeed in the hands of the strong, I fully agree with your statement, and I understand your resentment."

Mengniang’s momentum faltered, and she looked somewhat dazed.

Expecting that her harsh words would provoke him into rage or annoyance, she was surprised to find his attitude still calm.

This caused Mengniang, who had been ready to vent the resentment accumulated over the past few days, to feel somewhat remorseful as if she had been too aggressive. Thus, she softened her tone and asked, "Don’t you want to know why Taoist Li arranged for me to be by your side?"

"I and she have our respective needs; there’s no need to know, and I don’t want to make it difficult for you," Jiang Shouzhong replied, his smile serene.

In Mengniang’s eyes, the man before her had a very clear gaze, an innocent smile, and a sincere attitude.

The woman couldn’t help feeling a slight regret for her earlier resentment.

Was she really being too harsh?

Given his pleasant attitude.

After a moment of reflection, Mengniang tried to pick some fates that she could disclose, "Taoist Li wants to find someone through me, but because I was suppressed before, I cannot freely move around in the human world. Only the deathly aura from you can nourish my demon soul."

Jiang Shouzhong frowned, "So, she wants to find someone, but is this method effective? It seems like finding a needle in a haystack. If I never leave the Capital in my lifetime, you would have to follow me, so how would you find that person?"

Mengniang shook her head, "Taoist Li surely has not just set me as a pawn; she has other nets cast out as well."

"Makes sense," Jiang Shouzhong realized.

Mengniang hesitated slightly, then said softly, "Additionally, I can’t always keep a thirty-step distance from you. I can manage without eating by using Fasting Pills, but...I need to bathe at home, and I hope you can avoid it then."

"That’s even less of a problem," Jiang Shouzhong expressed understanding. Girls, after all, prefer a bit of cleanliness.

Jiang Shouzhong thought for a moment, offering some goodwill, "Actually, if you want to eat, you can tell me. We can go out or stay in. But if at home, I can only make some noodles for you."

"Okay," Mengniang responded, startled, then nodded coldly.

Looking at the man’s warm and pure smile, the woman felt increasingly regretful about her earlier harsh words and wanted to say something apologetic. However, she just moved her lips without speaking and sternly said, "Practice standing post more; it will solidify your boxing techniques."

Having said that, she flicked her sleeves, and her figure disappeared from the spot.

Jiang Shouzhong attempted to find out how she hid herself but after looking for a long time, did not discern anything, marveling at her great mystical powers.

Recalling the woman’s attitude shift, Jiang Shouzhong chuckled.
