Coward Qing Zhu I

At Southern Bamboo Grove… 

Spring was in the air.

Beside a bamboo hut was a man in fluttering white clothes, looking like an immortal.

His shadow itself was beautiful enough to impress the mortals.

'Why didn't you come to find me yesterday?"

Nan Xian's voice sounded like a soft breeze, which made Feng Ruqing stop in her tracks behind him.

Feng Ruqing's facial expression was genuine and honest as she said, "Yesterday, I was worried that you might be too busy, so I did not want to bother you."

"I was too busy?"

The man finally turned around. His angelic face seemed to gleam with coolness.

However, there was an indescribable light in his eyes. The corners of his lips twitched into a faint smile.

Feng Ruqing nodded her head earnestly. "You have such an exquisite look, of course there would be a lot of people pestering you. You must be busy handling those ladies so you wouldn't have had the time to entertain me."

No matter what happened, she would not let the state preceptor know that she had actually forgotten about him.

Nan Xian remained emotionless but softened his tone. "Do you think anyone can enter Southern Bamboo Grove as they please? And you think just anyone can pester me?"

Feng Ruqing cocked her brow and moved two steps closer toward Nan Xian playfully. "What the beautiful state preceptor means is, only I can keep pestering you? Can I perceive your words as an invitation for me to sleep with you?" 

Nan Xian scanned the obese lady in front of him up and down. The arc of his lips was noticeable. "Is there any improvement in your abilities?"

"…"

This… Why was this related to her abilities?

Nan Xian smiled faintly and walked to Feng Ruqing. "Since you want to sleep with me, you have to enhance your abilities."

Feng Ruqing blinked and said softly, "You are saying that if I work hard on my training, I can sleep with you?"

"Yes, I mentioned it before. The day you manage to defeat me, I will obey you."

Looking at Nan Xian's expressionless face, Feng Ruqing was stunned by the fact that she still had a long way to go before she could sleep with the state preceptor.

"Then… Can I get some reward as an encouragement first?" Feng Ruqing's eyes shone mischievously and then she moved closer to the state preceptor shamelessly. She looked at him with a playful smile.

"Within one month, if you can break through Earth Warrior tier, then you can come to me."

Within one month to break through Earth Warrior tier …

Feng Ruqing took a deep breath.

In the past, even the most talented genius in Liu Yun Kingdom was unable to achieve Earth Warrior tier within a month.

Fortunately, she had the notebook with the herbal recipes and once the spirit herbs started to grow, she could officially begin her cultivation training.

One month to achieve Beginner Warrior tier was not a difficult task.

"Alright," Feng Ruqing tapped Nan Xian's chin gently with her finger. "Beautiful State Preceptor, then you must keep your words. Once I manage to break through Earth Warrior tier, I will look for you for my reward."

Nan Xian remained expressionless, but there was a faint gleam in his eyes when he looked at Feng Ruqing.

"I will be away for a short trip. I will be back after one month. You are welcomed to Southern Bamboo Grove anytime. I will leave Qing Zhu here so you may look for him if you need any assistance."

Hiss hiss!

An Azure Snake popped its head from behind Nan Xian, hissing at Feng Ruqing in a hostile manner.

Feng Ruqing squinted and smirked at the unfriendly Qing Zhu while tapping her chin.

'Hmm, snake soup sounds quite good…'

As a spirit beast, Qing Zhu was always vigilant. Perhaps because it sensed danger from Feng Ruqing's evil smile, it quickly ducked behind his master. "Master, I … I think I better follow you. I don't want to stay here."

It kept feeling that this woman looked at it like food…
