Chapter 122: Chapter 96 Miss Ran’s House was Robbed_2

Jiang Shouzhong looked at her, his face a picture of confusion.

Mengniang rolled her eyes playfully, walked in front of the man, and placed a supple hand on his shoulder, "Relax."

Jiang Shouzhong relaxed his body.

In a split second, it felt as if a massive rock had been pressed down onto his shoulders.

The man’s legs bent, nearly bringing him to his knees.

Mengniang frowned, "Too loose, like a pile of mud, pull yourself together!"

Jiang Shouzhong quickly straightened his back and puffed out his chest.

The enormous weight on his shoulder lifted dramatically in an instant; the other’s hand seemed as light as a feather, barely registering any weight at all.

Mengniang, dissatisfied, "Too tense, relax!"

Jiang Shouzhong, helpless, relaxed again—only for the familiar crushing weight to press down once more, making him wince in pain.

"How can you be so clumsy!"

Mengniang moved closer, placing both hands on the man’s shoulders, and said coldly, "When you can no longer feel the pressure on your shoulders, when my hands have become one with your body, then practice standing postures."

Big sister, isn’t this asking too much?

Jiang Shouzhong gave a bitter smile.

But he understood that she was kindly helping him to correct his stance, so he adjusted his breathing and began to control his body.

No matter how much he adjusted, the weight was either too heavy or too light. He could clearly feel the pressure of her hands on his shoulders. Even when he deliberately hypnotized himself into believing her hands weren’t there, he could only ignore it for a brief moment before the pressure would return as soon as he thought about it.

Mengniang was getting a bit impatient.

She had been genuinely surprised at the prowess he displayed when fleeing from Xichu Pavilion tonight, thinking he had been deliberately concealing his strength and secretly enduring hardships to practice, solidifying his skills.

Yet, at this moment, it seemed clear that he had simply stumbled upon some opportunity that allowed him to scrape into the Grandmaster Realm.

With foundations not firmly set, the pavilion was prematurely erected.

If she hadn’t been indebted to him for heating her water, she would’ve left him to his own devices, allowing him to practice blindly.

"Adjust your breathing, continue!"

Mengniang patiently instructed the man.

Perhaps aware of how his performance had left her speechless, Jiang Shouzhong, feeling awkward, thought of giving up. But upon hearing her words, he steeled himself to calm his heart and even closed his eyes.

The slightly chilly winter night breeze, which carried the woman’s silky waist-length hair and richly red bridal gown, swept through the courtyard.

Since they were close and Mengniang was somewhat taller, Jiang Shouzhong could distinctly smell the lilac-like fragrance coming from her, mixed with the rich and sweet scent of her bosom.

Somehow, at that moment, Jiang Shouzhong managed to quiet his heart completely.

In a daze, he no longer felt any pressure on his shoulders. Not only did her hands become one with him, but even the gentle cold breeze and the earth beneath his feet fused into his existence.

Unconsciously, Jiang Shouzhong stretched out his body.

In that moment, he was the wind, drifting with all things, roaming with the universe.

Stirring the delicate tree branches, the courtyard walls, the rooftops, the woman’s hair, the soft hem of the woman’s gown...

With the universe, I am born; with all things, I am one.

At that moment, every bone and muscle in Jiang Shouzhong’s body moved rhythmically, expelling impurities through the pores of his skin...

A smile curved the corners of Mengniang’s mouth, revealing a pair of charmingly full lips.

The kid finally got the trick.

When Jiang Shouzhong returned from his trance back to reality, Mengniang had already retracted her arms and stood quietly by his side.

"How do you feel?" Mengniang asked.

Jiang Shouzhong felt indescribably refreshed and comfortable; he smiled and nodded, "I have a feeling now, thank you Mengniang for your guidance."

Mengniang said lightly, "To relax is to be firm, to be firm is to relax; in tenseness and relaxation, do not deviate from moderation."

Jiang Shouzhong frowned and pondered meticulously.

By the time he came to his senses, the woman had already vanished from sight.

Looking at the empty doorway, Jiang Shouzhong felt a warm sensation in his heart.

Although the Snake Demon had been fierce at the beginning and always appeared with a stern face, she had a kind heart.

Back in his room, Jiang Shouzhong, his body covered in sweat and grime, touched the water in the bathing tub; it had grown cold. Too tired to bother heating more water, he simply undressed and settled into the tub, comfortably closing his eyes.

Thinking back on all that had happened that night, Jiang Shouzhong found it surreal.

Especially that Qin Shier, who had spurred in him a great sense of crisis; she would certainly seek him out again.

The probing from Chun Yu was also bothersome.

The harsh words he had previously said to Chun Yu weren’t just superficial. He truly didn’t want to be entangled with Silver Moon Tower anymore, not only because of the troubles brought by beauties, but places like Silver Moon Tower and Xichu Pavilion tend to draw one in deeper the more they’re involved, making it hard to break free.

He was still in the survival stage, not suited to attract too much trouble; a low-profile growth was the key.

After getting his pay from Silver Moon Tower the next day, he would keep his distance.

All the Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter, all the Madams, please step aside.

With no woman in one’s heart, one’s swordsmanship remains unbeatable.

Just as Jiang Shouzhong was resolute in his determination, suddenly, his vision blurred, and Mengniang appeared in the room, looking at him with an odd expression.

Jiang Shouzhong was startled and hurriedly submerged himself as much as possible into the water, asking with bewilderment, "Mengniang, what’s wrong?"

"Why didn’t you change the water?"

"What?"

"This water..."

Mengniang’s delicate rosy cheeks blushed with an unnatural flush as she coughed lightly, "I’ve already washed in this water, why didn’t you change it?"

Jiang Shouzhong was a bit stunned.

It’s just a tub of bath water, what’s wrong with sharing it between two people?

Surely one shouldn’t go through the trouble of heating it up again.

I’m not drinking your bath water, after all.
