Chapter 114: A Favor to Ask
The Bloodthirsty Camp was like an ancient beast shrouded in darkness, falling into a deep sleep and kept quiet unusually in the night.
Lin Xun was panic at first, but soon regained his composure.
He was carried by a woman, quickly moving in the darkness. He could only catch a glimpse of a pair of long straight thighs and a small section of slender snow-white delicate waist of the person who was carrying him.
Because of the close distance, he could even smell a faint fragrance from this woman.
This was an extremely hot woman. The curve of her slender legs and waist that swung while she was walking could arouse endless temptation and reverie of men.
But Lin Xun was not in the mood for this. He needed to think who she was and why she dared to take him away from the Bloodthirsty Camp in the middle of the night.
“Handsome boy, are you afraid?”
A low laugh rang in his ears, soft and charming, which made people feel comfortable like the heart being tickled by a cat’s paw.
“Yes, I am afraid. But not really. I just fail to imagine there is any special place on me, which should attract such a beauty like you to kidnap me in this great night. This makes me nervous but delighted also.”
Lin Xun said quickly in a low voice. His intuition told himself that once he dared to shout out, he would be knocked out at once.
The woman laughed lightly and seemed to find Lin Xun’s answer very interesting. She said, “You little boy is very cunning and honey-mouthed. I can’t imagine how many girls will be harmed by you in the future.”
Lin Xun laughed casually while rolling his eyes and observing the environment along the way, “You have really wronged me. I have never harmed any little girls. They are temperamental, capricious and fussy. I am fond of elder beauties like you, who are wise and mature, and the most important thing is they know how to take care of others.”
Bang! Lin Xun was knocked on the head, and then heard the woman giggle and say, “You little puck, dare to jest with me. You are brave enough.”
Lin Xun said with a grin, “Any man can’t help but ingratiating himself with a beautiful woman like you. The charm of you is far beyond that of other women.”
The white waist of the woman shivered like ripples in the night when she laughed, which shocked Lin Xun. For the first time, he found that there was a kind of woman, even a section of whose waist was full of irresistible charm.
“If you dare to talk to me like this in the last few years, I would cut your tongue off.” The woman said with a slight sigh after a while.
“How about this time?” Lin Xun pretended to be a curious baby and sighed to himself that why no one had found him taken away for so long.
“This time…” The woman lowered her voice thoughtfully.
Lin Xun was anxious. There were so many overmatches distributing in Bloodthirsty Camp, but where were they now? Where were Drillmaster Xu Sanqi and Drillmaster Young Ke?
When Lin was thinking, a cold and calm voice arose suddenly in the darkness far away, “Did you grab people from Camp 39 with my consent?”
For Lin Xun, that voice used to be fearful, but now it was like the best song in the world.
Drillmaster Young Ke! Here was she at last!
Lin Xun was completely relaxed at this time and the woman carrying him stopped.
Young Ke’s lonely and slender figure came out from darkness. Her beautiful white face was as calm as ever under the starlight, but when she saw the person who was carrying Lin Xun, she frowned violently and showed a cold look that had never been seen before.
Young Man!
How dared she appear in front of Ke!
“Young Ke…”
It was Young Man who took Lin Xun away. But when she saw Young Ke in the distance, her sexy and beautiful face was covered with complexity.
“Don’t call my name!”
Young Ke’s face became colder and colder, with a kind of sharp fierceness in her clear eyes.
Only then did Lin Xun discover that Drillmaster Young Ke seemed to know the woman who had taken him away. And they might have an unusual relationship.
He kept silent and raised his head slightly. When he saw Young Man’s face, he was astonished not by her beauty but by her appearance exactly same as Drillmaster Young Ke!
But this woman’s dressing, make-up and temperament were totally different from Young Ke’s, just like the difference between fire and water.
“Are they twins?” An idea came to Lin Xun.
“Put him down and disappear in front of me at once!”
Young Ke did not ask the reason why she had done this, but gave the conditions directly. She was firm and serious. It seemed unbearable for her to take one more glance at Young Man.
“I can’t. This kid has another use.”
Young Man shook her head with perseverance and firmness. At this moment, she looked like a person overlapping with Young Ke.
Clang!
Young Ke pulled out an odd sword with a faint purple light in the dark. She was no longer planning to talk nonsense, with her beautiful eyes filled with indifference.
Seeing this scene, Young Man shivered all over. She widened her eyes and a pain which was hard to be detected ran across the depths of her pupils.
Lin Xun was carried in her hand and he clearly felt that the woman seemed agitated with very conflicting feelings in her breast.
The atmosphere became depressing and dreary, like the dead silence before a storm, which made Lin Xun slightly breathless.
“Let her go.” A gruff and cold voice arose in the darkness.
Lin Xun felt shocked, knowing that Shu Sanqi came here, too. However, no matter how Lin tried to sense him, Lin couldn’t find where he was.
Young Ke lapsed into silence instantly, as if she was trying her best to tolerate something.
Lin Xun’s heart sank, and he wondered whether Young Ke would abandon saving him and whether they would watch him be taken away by this woman without doing anything.
“Thanks, Chief Shu.”
Young Man turned her head and smiled charmingly towards the darkness in the distance. Then, she resumed her fascinating and sexy look.
Whoosh!
Lin Xun was instantly struck with sudden dizziness, and then he was taken away and disappeared into the darkness. He couldn’t help sighing in his heart.
…
“Handsome boy, stay here like a lamb, okay?”
After a while, the sweet and coquettish voice arose again in his ears, then he felt himself tossed away. After a stumble, Lin Xun almost fell onto the ground.
When he stood upright, he found himself in a huge luminous building where a variety of eccentric items, such as puppets, treasure ships, weapons, and even a dozen huge beast skeletons, were piled up.
It was literally a grocery warehouse.
Lin saw a familiar figure in the center of the warehouse. It was a skinny old man who was bending over a high platform, watching a spiritual furnace while frowning.
That was the old guy Lin Xun had met at dusk.
Promptly, Lin seemed to understand something and knew what was going on. He walked up to the old man, and watched the spiritual furnace silently, without saying any word.
“I was mistaken about you before,” said Old Mo with difficulty after a long silence. His old face was full of embarrassment.
“You brought me here just to apologize to me?” asked Lin Xun indifferently. “My time is rather precious, so I don’t have the time to chat with you.”
“You…” Old Mo abruptly became enraged, pointing to Lin Xun. “Son, who do you think you’re talking to?” His voice was full of threat.
However, Lin Xun seemed intrepid. He then said scornfully, “Of course I know. You’re an arrogant and short-sighted old man.”
Old Mo was so angry that he trembled for a while. But he held back his anger, took several deep breaths, and said with a sudden smile, “Boy, since you’re so fearless, have you already guessed what I’m going to do?”
Lin Xun answered with a stony face, “I’m not so stupid as you. If I can’t guess your objectives, I’ve lived for over 10 years in vain.”
Those impolite words made the corners of Old Mo’s mouth twisted. However, he forced himself to give a smile to Lin Xun. “So you…know how to mix Golden-flame Spiritual Formation with Moonlight Spiritual Formation?”
Lin Xun just looked at him with a sneer.
Old Mo became vexed completely, saying, “What? I’ve condescended to please you. Are you still angry?”
A sweet and soft voice arose outside the warehouse at this moment. “Old Mo, he’s waiting for your benefits. Do you think that a favor doesn’t need a reward?”
It was Young Man’s voice full of gloat. It felt like that she enjoyed seeing Old Mo’s embarrassment all the time. Having seen that he suffered such a setback, she mercifully reminded him.
Rewards?
Old Mo was taken aback, and then he immediately clapped onto his thigh. He said with a smile, “It’s easy. What do you want? As long as I can, I’ll meet all your needs.”
Promptly, he changed his attitude, “But if you cheat me…”
“I’ll be the first one who won’t spare him. He’s been pulling my leg on the road. If he can’t do us a favor, my sacrifice would be useless,” Young Man’s voice arose again.
Lin Xun felt speechless for a moment. It really gave him a headache when he was targeted by Old Mo and the woman named Young Man. Nonetheless, he stopped being offensive before the whole situation went too far. Now that he had vented his spleen, if he continued acting like before, he would really piss them off.
Lin Xun couldn’t know their status and backgrounds, but he knew that they were uncommon, because they appeared in the Bloodthirsty Camp and even Shu Sanqi took the woman’s side. If he offended them, he would be regretful in the end. “Let’s talk about my reward after I solve your problem.”
Lin quickly made his decision at this time. “Please provide me with an inscribing pen and a piece of paper.”
Old Mo felt heartened and did what Lin Xun asked. Even so, he still felt uncertain. Could the teenager really solve the problem?
Since Old Mo knew that he had to integrate the two formations to remould the spiritual furnace, he had been thought about how to solve this problem.
Up to midnight, he didn’t have any clue at all. Frustrated and anxious, he almost became insane.
His old friend in the Green-deer School had offered him a right direction, but he couldn’t figure out how to do that, which made him involuntarily doubt his own ability in terms of spiritual tattoos.
On a sudden impulse, Old Mo asked Young Man to capture Lin Xun and brought him here. He treated Lin as his last resort. Success or failure was unknowable. He just wanted to have a try, without expecting too much.
However, Lin’s tough attitude and behavior cheered Old Mo up, especially when Lin decisively promised to help solve this problem. Involuntarily, Old Mo looked forward to the result.
