How come the celestial technique I stole is so powerful?!-Chapter 194: Childhood Memories in a Little Mountain Village

Chapter 194: Chapter 194: Childhood Memories in a Little Mountain Village

Hu Ya’s eyes glittered: "After chasing for thousands of miles, you still haven’t let go of that childhood obsession, you can’t help but want to make your move on me..."

Lin Xiaosu’s eyes bulged, really wanting to argue back, didn’t you know about that kiss you gave me before you left Liu Lin Temple?

But he chose not to say it.

"Let’s just say, a woman always needs to go through such trials. How could you talk about training if you don’t even dare to try?" Hu Ya gently patted his shoulder: "Buddy, how about I get them to prepare some medicine for you? I personally think tonight will be a great challenge for you..."

Lin Xiaosu looked towards the evening sun on the horizon: "Are you intent on making me skip dinner tonight? Anything I eat now, I wouldn’t be able to explain clearly."

Hu Ya chortled...

Her smile, under the setting sun, was endlessly beautiful...

That dinner, he ultimately did not eat with everyone else.

Lin Xiaosu wanted to minimize his own presence in the trial.

He refrained from analyzing the case in front of the police because he wanted to reduce his presence and give Hu Ya an advantage.

Another reason was that he still had to choose a suitable location.

The seven murder cases were spread out over a vast distance, spanning thirty miles in radius.

If one were to judge the center point only by the circle formed by the seven spots, it should be at the top of a mountain.

However, Lin Xiaosu’s determination of the center point was not solely based on distance, but also on a mystical sense of qi.

His Heavenly Tao Primordial Spirit was capturing the qi of fierce beasts all around, sensing the ground in all directions, and discovered the valley ahead was where the qi was most concentrated.

There was a small mountain village there.

Almost abandoned.

Lin Xiaosu and Hu Ya arrived at this small mountain village and encountered an old man at the entrance of the village. After a brief three-and-a-half sentence chat, they learned that originally only three families lived in the mountain village. After the fierce beast murders, two of the families left, leaving only this old man with nowhere to go; being a loner, he had long been indifferent to life and death.

The old man, seeing them, seriously warned, "Young people, you should hurry down the mountain. Don’t stay overnight here."

Lin Xiaosu agreed, then turned around and left the village.

But he sat down under the big tree at the corner.

Until the sunset had completely fallen.

Until a lone light was lit and then extinguished.

Until the small mountain village was as silent as death.

The two of them, silent and stealthy, trod the mountain path, entered the village, which was so silent it didn’t even have a dog, naturally there wasn’t any noise.

Lin Xiaosu stretched out his hand and fumbled inside a hole in the wall of a mud-brick house, extracting a key, and unlocking the door to this family’s home.

Hu Ya’s eyes widened: "How did you know there was a key here?"

"An old memory!" Lin Xiaosu said: "My mom has this habit too, she likes to leave the key by the door when she goes out."

"Actually, my mom does the same!" Hu Ya said: "It’s probably a rural habit, no matter if it’s far north or south, it’s all quite similar."

Keeping the key nearby, one is to prevent yourself from losing it while running around the mountains, and second, to provide convenience for family members to find the keys when returning home...

As for an outsider taking advantage of the situation, who would think of that?

The people who didn’t even have proper houses, what valuables could they have in the family?

At most, a few pieces of cured meat hanging on the beam, and if you like, you stew it...

This thing is purely like a four-foot wall—it prevents gentlemen, not thieves.

Pushing the door open, the inside was still clean.

After all, this family was a permanent resident here, only recently leaving, so the home still had a bit of worldly life.

Lin Xiaosu chose this household primarily because of his understanding of the Earthfall Beast’s habits, which was limited to the information given to him by Xiang Yixiu. He knew the Earthfall Beast was lecherous, but whether it could discern human worldly life, he did not know.

Nor did he know how intelligent it was.

Planning to play a role, you’ve got to play the part fully.

Therefore, he chose this house, which still had traces of life, as the setup for the trap...

The door closed, Hu Ya actually felt a little nervous.

She had never been nervous in her life, but tonight, she was still a bit nervous...

The last time she returned to Liu Lin Temple, she carried with her a bit of a crazed obsession...

Her life had taken a different path.

Her remaining life would be completely different.

She roamed Old Tashan Village, finding traces of her old life, traces that would gradually fade in the coming years.

She went to Liu Lin Temple, and everything from the past would eventually become a distant memory on the long journey.

She was reluctant to leave this landscape.

And she also found it hard to let go of some people.

Her parents, and him.

She wanted to draw a full stop to those days of old memories that could not be revisited, she wanted to have that incident with him, to comfort her childhood sweetheart.

But various reasons made her calm down.

Her body, her uniqueness, and little Ye at his home...

The kiss before leaving was her closure for the past.

The future journey, marked with a rest, was also imbued with the subdued sorrow of a young girl...

But tonight, he had traveled thousands of miles to come.

They faced a task so challenging it was almost insurmountable.

No matter how far-fetched his method was, no matter if he came from afar with ulterior motives.

She wanted to leap into this pit...

But could her body make this full stop complete?

Everything was unknown...

In others’ house, on others’ bed, heart filled with confusion in a foreign place...

"Little Su!"

"Mmm..."

"This is for the mission."

"Mmm..."

"Really, that fierce beast killed eighteen people; it’s very dangerous."

"I know."

"The police, in order to finish this mission, don’t even care about their own lives. As... as a qualified citizen, it seems I also shouldn’t fuss over some... trivialities, right?"

"I think what you’re saying... makes a lot of sense."

"Then... let’s do this!"

In the darkness, two figures drew closer.

Their breaths mingled, lips meeting.

Breaths slowly grew heavy, hands also began...

A peculiar fragrance filled the little cabin...

Hu Ya momentarily lost herself...

But after a long, long time with no further movement, Hu Ya left Lin Xiaosu’s lips: "Nothing’s happening, should we up the intensity?"

"Mhm!"

"Don’t rush to do the real thing yet, my situation is a bit special. If you get all excited and ultimately can’t get in, it would be quite a blow... So let’s tease a bit."

With that, Lin Xiaosu didn’t know whether to protest or comply.

Ultimately, he chose to be persuaded.

Teasing, perhaps, was indeed the best method...

His hand reached down, and Hu Ya’s toes started to tremble...

With just a gentle touch, Lin Xiaosu’s mind exploded into chaos...

Dongting Spring Water?

Spring River Swamp?

You really think I can’t enter such a muddy place?

Hu Ya, with face upturned, slid her body down until she sat on the floor; as Lin Xiaosu’s fingers plucked like playing a lute, she kept playing the lute...

"Little Su..."

"Mhm..."

"Maybe... maybe we should try..."

Her voice trembled softly, like the most melodious strings music at midnight.

Just then, above the ground, a white creature, resembling a giant pangolin, rose from the earth.

Like a ghost of the dark night.

This thing burrowed out of the ground without making a sound.

But as soon as it emerged, Hu Ya’s eyes snapped open.

As the creature lifted off the ground, Lin Xiaosu’s fingers swiftly retracted.

Hu Ya sprang to her feet.

And struck out fiercely!

Shhh!

A bright light seemed to flare up in the dark night.

Her dagger accurately aimed three inches below the beast’s head.

However, the dagger snapped with a clang.

The impact of the blow knocked the fierce beast towards the wall behind it.

The beast, reacting swiftly, had half of its body buried into the wall upon impact; it seemed it could even pass through the wall.

However, as soon as it began to burrow, a fist, carrying an unmatched power...

Boom!

Green juices splattered everywhere!

Hu Ya’s fist passed through the white exotic beast’s abdomen and through the wall as well.

The wall collapsed thunderously.

The calm of the little village was instantly shattered.

Outside the village, lights flickered on; it was powerful flashlights.

Whoosh, two figures swiftly traversed the brush, silently appearing before Hu Ya, one on the left, a man in his thirties with a resolute expression, now excited.

On the right, one with white hair; her hair fluttered in the air, and a smile appeared on her face.

Hu Ya’s right hand directly penetrated the belly of the fierce beast; the beast was still desperately struggling, its claws scraping across Hu Ya’s arm, but leaving no wounds.

This struggle was merely its death throes.

In an old house in the village, a light turned on; an old man put on a garment and opened the door. Seeing the people outside, the old man was stunned...

Two policemen told him, "Old man, don’t be afraid. We’re police officers, specially here to kill this fierce beast. Now, the mission is accomplished."

The old man awoke from a dream, repeatedly exclaiming, "Wonderful, wonderful, this is so good..."

Hu Ya introduced these two instructors to Lin Xiaosu... Oh, in her introduction, they were the coaches of this free combat training session.

She also introduced her partner Lin Xiaosu to the two instructors; he’s a detective, skilled in tracking techniques.

Also adept at solving mysterious cases and quite famous in Fengcheng.

If it were yesterday, people wouldn’t have been very interested in a detective from the mortal world, but today, these two instructors... coaches were highly interested in him.

Because with his arrival, in just half a day, he solved the case of the underground exotic beast that had troubled everyone for a month.

Li Yue watched all this, feeling inwardly unreconciled, but the facts were in front of her, the results were before her; she seemed to have to admit the instructors made sense.

Regardless of whether borrowing power for the trials was fair or unfair.

Having such a perfect battle result was still a good thing.

"Detective Lin, we truly have to thank you for the completion of this mission!" The white-haired instructor extended her hand and shook Lin Xiaosu’s hand.

Lin Xiaosu felt something strange about the touch.

Her hand seemed to be as solid as ice, completely devoid of warmth.

Upon shaking hands, he felt his fingers turn cold and ghostly.

Of course, maybe that wasn’t the aftereffect of shaking hands, but rather the aftereffect of playing that thing with Hu Ya just now; his fingers had her bodily fluid on them, and as the wind blew, they chilled.
