Chapter 90 World Three [4]

Jing Ke didn't answer right away, but she didn't reject Luo Yuezhu either. She simply told her calmly, "Practicing martial arts is a very difficult thing. It requires long-term persistence. It's not something you can just pick up on a whim."

"I know, but I also want to be able to protect myself." Luo Yuezhu looked up at Jing Ke. "I don't ask Miss Jing to teach me martial arts forever. I just want to learn more from you during the three years you stay with the Luo family."

Luo Yuezhu's tone was sincere, and the look she gave Jing Ke was extremely firm.

But Luo Yuezhu was only ten years old after all. She had always been well protected by her family. There was a hint of uneasiness in her eyes, and her little hands hidden in her sleeves couldn't help but clench.

Luo Yuezhu expected the person in front of her to agree to her somewhat excessive request, but she was also worried that she would be rejected, which would cause Jing Ke to dislike her.

"I can teach you ordinary martial arts for free," Jing Ke paused. "As for the rest, Miss Luo, you should know that every sect has unique skills, right? They are only available to disciples."

Jing Ke's waist-length hair was tied up with only a black headband, which fully revealed her heroic features. She looked very free and easy, yet extremely capable.

Luo Yuezhu looked up at the other person, and after a brief silence, she continued to ask in a hoarse voice.

"If I choose the latter, can I become your disciple?" Luo Yuezhu asked.

She had not had much contact with the martial arts world, but Luo Yuezhu had read many similar storybooks, and she could learn some basic principles from them.

"I'll give you a chance." Jing Ke said hesitantly. "If you can do horse stance for two hours every day for the next month, I'll take you in as my disciple."

"Of course, considering you're a beginner, I'll allow you to rest when you're tired in the beginning. But if you can't stand in horse stance for two hours straight on the last day, it means we're not destined to be master and disciple. I'll only teach you some basic boxing, kicking, and swordplay."

Jing Ke said this after careful consideration. She and Luo Yuezhu hadn't established a strong enough relationship yet. If she agreed immediately, it would probably make the sensitive girl think too much.

It would be better to just treat her as a child left behind by a friend who passed away. We have some friendship, but not much.

"I've got it. Starting tomorrow, I will practice in the yard every day. Miss Jing can supervise me at any time. If there is anything I am not doing well, I hope Miss Jing can give me some guidance." Luo Yuezhu responded seriously.

Jing Ke nodded, looking at Luo Yuezhu, whose height was not even as high as his shoulders, and couldn't help but reach out and touch her head, "Don't force yourself, not everyone is suitable for martial arts."

This is my first time as a teacher. One month should be enough for me to develop a reliable tutorial, right?

When the time comes, write down more exercises and try each one. There will always be a set of exercises that is suitable for Luo Yuezhu.

Although Luo Yuezhu has not passed the so-called test yet, Jing Ke is already thinking about how to make Luo Yuezhu a martial arts master, preferably the best in the world.

In this way, no one can bully Luo Yuezhu. She can do whatever she wants. Even if she is targeted by some blind person, she can fight back directly.

That’s right, Jing Ke can now be sure of one thing, that is, the rules are intentionally targeting Luo Yuezhu.

Only in this way can we explain why everyone who obtains a fragment of their own body will target a specific person and try to destroy their originally brilliant life.

However, even though she knew it, Jing Ke could only do so much now. She could only recycle her own fragments one world at a time, and try to minimize the impact of the rules and the fragments of her body.

Once Jing Ke successfully recovers most of the fragments of her body, she will be able to completely break free from the restrictions and influence of the rules. At that time, she should be able to know the truth.

-

For a rich lady who has been spoiled since childhood, doing horse stance for two hours every day is not an easy task.

This had nothing to do with perseverance. It was simply because Luo Yuezhu didn't have much muscle in her body. She had lost a lot of weight due to the death of her family, so she couldn't hold on for less than half an incense stick before she plopped down on the ground.

This was the result after Jing Ke helped correct her posture, otherwise Luo Yuezhu might not have been able to hold on for even half an incense stick of time.

On the first day, with Luo Yuezhu's continuous efforts, he successfully completed the task of standing in horse stance for two hours in the afternoon.

But at the same time, Luo Yuezhu's legs were shaking so badly that she needed the support of her maid Xiaomu to walk, otherwise she would stagger from side to side, as if she would fall to the ground with a thud at the next moment.

With Xiaomu's help, Luo Yuezhu barely finished washing up and lay down on the bed smoothly.

But when she woke up the next day, the swelling and soreness in her legs made Luo Yuezhu grimace, and she couldn't even complete such a simple action as getting up and standing up.

Knock knock——

There was a knock on the door coming from outside. Judging from the strength and timing, Luo Yuezhu judged that the person outside was not Xiaomu.

Xiaomu is currently the only elderly person around Luo Yuezhu, and can also be said to be the only person she trusts.

After successfully driving the third master of the Luo family out of the Luo Mansion, Luo Yuezhu asked Xiaomu to buy back three servants to do odd jobs. At this time, Xiaomu should still be arranging their work.

After ruling out those who won't show up, it doesn't seem difficult to guess who is standing outside the door knocking.

"Miss Jing, is there something wrong?" Luo Yuezhu pulled the quilt over herself to avoid exposing the indecent scene in front of outsiders.

"Can you still walk normally with your legs? If it's too sore, let me give you some medicine." Jing Ke said as he stood outside the door, holding the ointment he had prepared overnight.

A trace of hesitation flashed through Luo Yuezhu's mind, but when she thought about her ultimate goal of becoming Jing Ke's disciple, she suppressed her original shyness and embarrassment.

After picking up the coat that was not far away and putting it on, Luo Yuezhu pulled up the quilt and said, "Miss Jing, come in, the door is not locked."

"Okay, I'm coming in." Jing Ke paused, then pushed open the wooden door with a creak, stepped over the threshold and walked in, then closed the door again.

Jing Ke was still wearing a black coat today. The style was slightly different from before, but you couldn't tell the difference unless you looked closely.

"This is a blood-activating ointment. Apply it to the sore area and dissolve it with your internal energy. It will take effect within half an hour at the earliest." Jing Ke said, showing the ointment in a small porcelain bottle before walking towards Luo Yuezhu.

"Thank you, Miss Jing." Luo Yuezhu said, enduring the pain in her legs, trying to sit up straight, and wanted to reach out to take the ointment from Jing Ke's hand.

"The effect of the medicine requires internal energy to be stimulated. Let me help you apply it, and then it can take effect directly." Jing Ke walked to Luo Yuezhu's bed before stopping.

In order to prevent Luo Yuezhu from being scared, Jing Ke half-knelt down so that her eyes could be level with his.

Luo Yuezhu tightly grasped the quilt with both hands, took a deep breath and exhaled slowly, then silently lifted the quilt covering herself.

"Do I need to show my legs?" Luo Yuezhu asked, suppressing her shyness.

"Well, the ointment needs to be applied directly to the skin, and the skin of the legs needs to be exposed." Jing Ke said, "Do you want my help?"

Jing Ke could swear that she had no other thoughts about Luo Yuezhu now. She just wanted to help her and make her stronger quickly.

After all, Luo Yuezhu is just a ten-year-old child. In Jing Ke's opinion, anyone under the age of eighteen is a kid and is of a different generation than himself.

"No, no need, I can do it myself." Luo Yuezhu said, her cheeks flushed with a light pink, and she quickly pulled the slightly loose panties on her legs above her knees.

Jing Ke didn't say anything, just raised his eyebrows slightly, without making any movements with his hands.

Luo Yuezhu's face became redder and redder. She could accept Xiaomu helping her bathe, but for some reason, she seemed particularly restrained when facing Jing Ke.

Maybe it’s because she and Jing Ke are not familiar enough. Xiaomu has been with her since she was five years old, Luo Yuezhu told herself.

After spending some time preparing herself mentally, Luo Yuezhu pulled her panties down to her thighs, revealing a pair of exceptionally fair and smooth thighs.

Jing Ke did not waste any time and quickly took out the light brown ointment from the small porcelain bottle and applied it evenly on the skin surface.

The moment the ointment touched her skin, Luo Yuezhu's hands gripping the quilt became tighter and tighter, and her joints even turned white.

"I will use my internal energy to stimulate the medicinal properties, so there may be a slight tingling sensation, just bear with it." Jing Ke reminded, then attached his internal energy to his fingertips, dissolving the medicinal properties while applying the medicine.

Even though she had been told in advance, Luo Yuezhu couldn't help but groan after feeling the tingling and numbness that Jing Ke described. She needed to clench her teeth to prevent any strange sounds from coming out of her mouth.

Fortunately, Luo Yuezhu had a good ability to adapt. After the ointment was evenly applied on her calves, she gradually got used to the feeling and even had the illusion of taking a hot spring bath.

Jing Ke was working attentively. This ointment was made with an exclusive secret recipe that she remembered. In addition to promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, it also had the effect of strengthening bones.

In addition, Jing Ke used his internal force to stimulate the medicinal properties, so when Luo Yuezhu's body absorbed the medicinal properties, it would also absorb some of the attached internal force.

Although the amount of internal energy was not much, Jing Ke's internal energy was pure enough. So even if he could only absorb a little bit, it would be a good opportunity for Luo Yuezhu, who had never been exposed to martial arts, to improve his physical fitness.

During the process of applying the medicine, Jing Ke also made some discoveries. For example, although Luo Yuezhu looked a little thin, his tendons and veins were at least three times wider than those of ordinary people.

Such a physique is hard to come by. If her comprehension is also better than that of ordinary people, then she only needs ten years to become a top master in the world.

What is the concept of a top-notch expert in the martial arts world? As long as they don't go against the elders and leaders of the major sects, top-notch experts can walk sideways.

Even the Sihai Pavilion would give the other party some face. As long as the top masters did not break into the palace at night, they would turn a blind eye to what the top masters did.

It took about the time of an incense stick, or a quarter of an hour, to apply the medicine.

"How do you feel now? The soreness should have subsided a lot, right?" Jing Ke took the empty porcelain bottle back, stood up and took a step back to prevent Miss Luo from blushing.

"Much better, thank you." Luo Yuezhu said dryly, "Is it all I need to do now, just wait a little longer?"

"Well, you can wash it after it dries completely, such as..." Before Jing Ke could finish, there was another knock on the door.

"Miss, are you awake? I've brought you some hot water." Xiaomu's voice came from outside.

"No, not for now. Please go and prepare hot water for me. I want to take a bath." Luo Yuezhu subconsciously refused to let Xiaomu in.

"Miss, do you want to take a bath? Okay, I'll prepare it right away." Fortunately, Xiaomu didn't think much about it and quickly turned around to boil water.

"After the ointment dries, you can put your trouser legs down. Then it should be no different from usual." Jing Ke reminded him. He didn't know whether it was appropriate for him to leave now, and was still waiting until Luo Yuezhu was able to move before leaving.

"Okay, thank you, Miss Jing." Luo Yuezhu took a look at her legs exposed to the air, tried to move them, and found that the original soreness had faded.

After a short silence, Luo Yuezhu, looking a little uncomfortable, took the initiative to speak, "Have you eaten yet? Do you want me to ask the kitchen to make you something to eat?"

"No rush, it's only the beginning of the morning hour. After Miss Luo finishes washing up, we can have dinner together." Jing Ke said.

In order to prevent the shy girl from blushing, Jing Ke now turned sideways to face Luo Yuezhu, her eyes fixed on the window not far away.

"Okay, then, please wait for me for a while, Miss Jing." Luo Yuezhu said.

Unable to think of a suitable topic for the time being, Luo Yuezhu could only continue to hold the quilt tightly in her hands, waiting for the ointment applied on her legs to dry.

This way she could put her panties down and regain her mobility.
