"Hehe, did I hurt you? I'm really sorry, I didn't realize you were so fragile. I'll go easier on you next time."
Seeing Xia Liu's nose bleeding, Wu Mingmei giggled.
"Hurt my foot!" Xia Liu really wanted to roar, but he held it back.
After all, he had glimpsed her secret, and she was not very mature.
If he didn't bear with it a bit, word might spread, and others might think he was scolding a little girl.
"If you don't speak, can I assume you are scared? I don't want to make it hard for you, no matter how much you've conned from my grandfather, please leave my house now, or that money will only cover your medical expenses!"
"Oh, so scary, some people are really arrogant, going out will definitely be problematic," Xia Liu sarcastically said.
"Like, say, a certain pink, plus a cartoon bear."
"I'll kill you!" After a moment of silence, Wu Mingmei's emotions suddenly erupted.
Her face turned from pale to red, then from red to a mix of pale and blue.
At that moment, her beautiful eyes were filled with bloodlust, almost wishing she could tear Xia Liu to pieces!
She finally realized that she hadn't kicked Xia Liu's nose, so why was he bleeding? It turned out he had seen her!!!
"Hmph! With such a feeble leg technique, you want to kill me? It's too much effort even to kill a dog with that," Xia Liu scoffed and grabbed Wu Mingmei's ankle in his hand.
"You deserve to die!" Wu Mingmei said through clenched teeth.
Although Xia Liu held her ankle, she wouldn't give in that easily.
With a surge of energy, she kicked fiercely, her body leaping into the air and spinning, pulling her foot out of Xia Liu's hands and then attacking Xia Liu with a highly advanced leg technique.
Xia Liu, with one hand behind his back, casually swatted away the leg that Wu Mingmei had launched at him.
"This jerk!" All her attacks were easily blocked by Xia Liu, causing Wu Mingmei great frustration.
No matter how she attacked, the outcome was always the same.
And now she dared not put too much force into it, because Xia Liu's eyes were too sharp!
"You clearly have no fluctuations of Qi Force on your body, so why can you so easily fend off my attacks?" Finally unable to hit Xia Liu, Wu Mingmei stopped and, infuriated, stared at Xia Liu.
"If you judge someone solely by fluctuations of Qi Force, then you're just too naive."
"Hmph! Sly talker! Have the guts to improve my leg technique!"
"Heh, so you admit you want me to be your teacher?" Xia Liu said with a knowing smile.
Wu Mingmei didn't respond, though there were no fluctuations of Qi Force on Xia Liu's body.
But just his casual deflection of her attacks was enough to prove his strength.
Now she realized that her grandfather's decision to have him be her teacher had a deeper meaning.
"Your leg technique originates from Northern Shaolin, the Seventy-Two Chan Legs..."
Hearing Xia Liu say this, Wu Mingmei felt an inner turmoil as tumultuous as the ocean waves. Xia Liu had managed to discern her leg technique just by observing briefly.
He definitely had some skills and even said he could help improve her leg techniques!
"Actually, it's quite simple if you want to improve your leg techniques," Xia Liu said slowly, seeing the flicker of surprise on Wu Mingmei's face.
"Ah! Tell me quickly!" Wu Mingmei said excitedly.
Xia Liu grimaced and said, "It's so late now; I've been tired all day and don't have the energy..."
"Teacher Xia, why don't you go rest first, and then teach me tomorrow?" Wu Mingmei said, her eyes gleaming.
"I have errands to run tomorrow, so I'll have to get up very early. I hope you can get up early too."
"Teacher Xia, why don't you sleep with me, then? That way I won't miss the time!"
Upon hearing Wu Mingmei say this, Xia Liu suddenly felt dry-mouthed, to sleep with her!
Realizing she had said something wrong, Wu Mingmei lowered her head, her face blushing as she said, "I mean, come rest at my place."
"Is that convenient?"
"Very convenient; I'll take you there right now!" where would Wu Mingmei say it was inconvenient? Xia Liu was the teacher who could improve her leg techniques, and she certainly couldn't miss this opportunity.
After following Wu Mingmei to her villa, the first thing Xia Liu saw upon entering made him feel incredibly awkward.
On the couch lay a black camisole and all sorts of intimate apparel scattered about.
"Teacher Xia, please have a seat while I clean this up!" Wu Mingmei called out sharply upon noticing Xia Liu's gaze fixed on the clothes on the sofa, then she quickly scooped up the clothes and tossed them into the bathroom.
"Teacher Xia, I'm going to get a room ready for you. Just wait a moment," Wu Mingmei said cheerfully as she ran upstairs.
As she went upstairs, Wu Lang came in with a set of clothes, "Mr. Xia, this clothing was just bought by the family. See if it suits you."
Xia Liu picked it up to check, then nodded his head, "Hmm, very nice, thank you so much Family Head Wu."
"Not at all. I should be the one thanking Mr. Xia for agreeing to mentor my granddaughter." Although not sure of the specifics, seeing that Xia Liu was quite interested in his granddaughter, Wu Lang also expressed his thanks.
"I wouldn't presume to mentor, just trying my best. If she doesn't improve, there's no loss."
"Mr. Xia is too modest. It's getting late; are you ready to rest? I can take you..."
Just as Wu Lang was about to suggest taking Xia Liu to their house to rest, suddenly an elated voice echoed from upstairs, "Teacher Xia, come on up and rest!"
As the voice rang out, Wu Mingmei appeared by the banister, her face full of joy.
"Mingmei..." Seeing his granddaughter calling Xia Liu upstairs to rest, Wu Lang was immediately taken aback.
Because the second floor was her private domain, no one in the family could go up without her permission, not even himself. And now she was inviting Xia Liu to rest up there!
Was this the granddaughter he had raised all these years, the one he had invested so much in, just letting someone whisk her away?
Seeing Wu Lang , Xia Liu also felt extremely awkward; he was sure Wu Lang must have misunderstood him.
"Grandpa, you're here too," Wu Mingmei greeted with a smile.
"Hmm, yes, I'm here..." What else could Wu Lang say? Even if Xia Liu ended up sleeping with his granddaughter, what could he do, especially since his cultivation was High-Strength.
"Grandpa, you should head back and rest early, don't delay Teacher Xia's time; he has errands to run tomorrow,"
"Alright, I'll head back now..."
Watching Wu Lang's lonely back, Xia Liu wanted to say something to clarify, but then thought better of it.
Sometimes, explanations can seem like justifications; let him think what he may...
