"Among the Eighteen Weapons, the commonly used bow, crossbow, gun, sword, spear, shield, axe, whip, rope, and hand-to-hand combat, you must understand all. Know that as a qualified spy, you're not just facing high-tech firearms. Sometimes, you even have to accomplish the seemingly impossible tasks in the most primitive tribes." A fiery breath grazed past her ear, and a broad arm wrapped around her shoulders, instructing her on how to load, chest in, stomach tight, aiming an arrow straight at the enemy's throat.
The man's arms were sturdy and strong, his voice low and deep, with a hint of indulgence, bringing immense comfort.
"In any situation, you must stay calm, merciless, whether facing the old, weak, women, children, or even friends and relatives, even myself—if it threatens your survival, you must not be soft-hearted. Xiaoqi, the meaning of being a spy is to penetrate everywhere, making it impossible for others to guard against," Liao's image became more and more distant, overlapping with the stars in the sky.
Sitting on the gunwale, her long legs gently swaying in the night, as bright as jade.
Yue Jinghua sighed softly, hand resting on her chest, "You are allowed to be vulnerable for three minutes, after these three minutes, you must forget the past, it's already gone, you can't go back."
Ni Qianjun stepped out of the cabin just in time to witness this scene.
The girl's hair fluttered in the endless darkness, her gaze seemed helpless and lost, her slender shoulders drooped.
Behind her was the deep night.
Ahead, a boundless expanse of cloud Qi.
At that moment, it seemed as if everything in the world had nothing to do with her, yet the next moment, she might fall from the clouds and disappear without a trace.
Ni Qianjun unconsciously quickened his pace, reaching for that figure, as the wind lifted his fiery-red cloak, making a rustling sound.
Just as he raised his hand, her bewildered and helpless look dispersed like smoke, and her eyes suddenly changed, as fierce as a cheetah spotting its predator, thrown fiercely her way.
Ni Qianjun felt a vague discomfort in his heart, for both her vigilance and defensiveness.
Although he is rough around the edges, he could feel that he and this girl were far from reaching the level of friends, there was still a wall between them.
Seeing Ni Qianjun holding a bottle of Healing Medicine, Yue Jinghua was slightly startled, and then she noticed the wound on her thumb caused by the bowstring, her eyes warmed, and she smiled sweetly.
The half of her face without the Demon Mark glowed softly, even more tender than the autumn moon in the sky, Ni Qianjun felt his heart hit hard by a blunt object, yet he did not feel the pain, his heartbeat stopped.
He caught his breath, "Who taught you all that?" Ni Qianjun leaned on the gunwale with one hand, jumped onto the edge, and sat next to Yue Jinghua.
The cloak behind him flickered like flames, naturally covering Yue Jinghua's slightly frail shoulders.
"If I say I learned from the womb, would you believe it," Yue Jinghua shrugged, she knew it as soon as she dressed up, and indeed, it was from the womb.
Seeing her clumsily applying the medicine, Ni Qianjun naturally took over, holding her right hand in his, gently applying with the other hand.
"Believe, whatever you say, I will believe," Yue Jinghua was again startled, the base of her thumb felt cool, the pain on the wound eased a lot.
His palm was rough with man's fingers, Ni Qianjun was as careful as possible, his forehead breaking out in a fine sweat. If the fellows of Reversed Fire Mercenary saw this scene, they would probably all be agape with dropped jaws.
After a brief silence, Yue Jinghua changed the topic, "I heard Dan Demon Tomb is a very dangerous place, I want to refine some Elixir Pills, and also, I need a set of weapon and equipment designs from all mercenaries of the Reversed Fire Mercenary Group."
Upon hearing Yue Jinghua was going to start Alchemy, Ni Qianjun came back to his senses, remembering the dangers of the trip to Dan Demon Tomb, he spoke in a deep voice: "A Dan room has already been set up on the ship, and all the herbs you need have already been brought aboard. The Elixir Pills and usual Healing Medicine needed by the brothers, Old Teluo has prepared five bottles for each person. I also need about thirty Durian Pills."
Yue Jinghua promised with one gulp after coming aboard.
It will take half a month for Fire Dragon to reach Dan Demon Tomb, and Yue Jinghua can refine during this half month.
