Three more days passed.
Since arriving in Mengcheng, Chu Mubai asked Yan Jiu to help him deliver letters to Xia Yixin. The two were able to correspond every three days. She also strictly required Chu Mubai not to let anyone track the pigeons' whereabouts. Although he could not see her, the correspondence helped alleviate Chu Mubai's longing.
After reading her letter, Chu Mubai wrote a reply, fed the pigeons food and water, tied the letter to them, and released them.
However, he never expected that the pigeon, after flying away for a short time, would circle around and, under the cover of night, return to the Mengcheng County government office.
The next day.
After thinking it over all night, Zi Linglong finally came to her senses and readily relinquished her command of the Red Eagle Women's Army.
At the same time, Ying also regained her identity as a shadow guard, which moved Zi Linglong, who later found out, to tears, and her favorability towards Ying soared to nearly 80%.
Although Ying couldn't speak, his companionship gradually made Zi Linglong feel that the boring school life wasn't so hard to endure.
After hearing Chu Mubai's reminder, Xia Yixin also intentionally began to keep "Yan Jiu" away from Zi Linglong. Zi Linglong also had no time to pester "him" anymore. She wanted to learn the art of emperors, starting with the simplest Four Books and Five Classics, and she also needed to write beautiful calligraphy.
Chu Mubai took her to a heavily guarded mansion in a nearby city and found many old scholars to guide her. Her days were packed with lessons, and Zi Linglong was practically wishing she were dead. But she was also stubborn, which really made her shine like a female lead, and her learning progressed very quickly.
On the other side.
Chu Mubai's learning speed also exceeded Xia Yixin's expectations.
She discovered that not only had he recovered his health, but his speed, strength, and reaction time were also impressive. After she taught him the internal energy cultivation method, in just one month, Chu Mubai's lightness skill was already something she couldn't shake off.
The two often practiced in the deep mountains near Mengcheng. Lightness skill is a skill for escaping, and it would do Chu Mubai no harm to master it.
She walked around the woods more than ten times in one breath, and before she knew it, it was getting dark.
She was slightly out of breath when she landed on the treetop, but in the blink of an eye, Chu Mubai had already landed, leaving only a shallow mark on the snow with his footsteps.
After Xia Yixin landed, she sighed and said, "Lord Chu, I have nothing more to teach you after today. I predict that in another year, your internal strength may even be stronger than mine. If we were to fight now, I could only win in terms of strength and experience."
"It's thanks to General Yan's excellent teaching." Chu Mubai calmly bowed. In fact, he had just caught up with all his might. The more flaws he discovered as he got closer to "him" during this time, the more "he" felt like a real person to him. However, the familiarity he felt about "him" made him unconsciously feel close to "him," and he even discovered many of "him's" little habits that he couldn't hide.
Because Xia Yixin had taught him Tai Chi before, he was very familiar with her teaching methods, and "he" was exactly the same as Xia Yixin in terms of martial arts routines, even in terms of lightness skills and the way internal energy was circulated.
In this plane of existence, it is impossible for two people to have exactly the same martial arts skills.
However, Chu Mubai's suspicions were merely that—speechless. He needed evidence.
Meanwhile, Xia Yixin was completely unaware that she was about to say that it was getting late and she should hurry back.
Suddenly, the hairs on my arms stood on end.
She noticed two green lights suddenly appearing in the bushes behind him, and a dark figure lunged at him from behind!
It's a snow wolf!
"Watch out!" Xia Yixin exclaimed, pulling Chu Mubai behind her to protect him. She kicked the snow wolf away, but then felt a sharp pain in her shoulder.
In a flash, Chu Mubai looked at the person in front of him. In shock and anger, his body moved faster than his mind, and he slashed off the wolf's head with a single stroke, saving her.
However, Xia Yixin's right shoulder was already a bloody mess. Chu Mubai could no longer suppress the ferocity in his chest. He raised his knife and stood in front of Xia Yixin, killing three or four snow wolves that had gone mad from the smell of blood.
Xia Yixin was taken aback when she saw Chu Mubai rush forward, but then she was relieved to see that he was handling things with ease. She had almost forgotten that this guy had become stronger.
She forced herself to endure the nausea and ripped off the severed head of the snow wolf, ignoring the excruciating pain in her shoulder as she grabbed Shangxie and joined the battle.
The smell of blood attracted dozens of hungry snow wolves, and more and more followed.
But tonight was destined to be the death day for these snow wolves. Chu Mubai was in a bloodthirsty frenzy. When Xia Yixin arrived, she only had time to clean up the mess. There were already a large number of snow wolf corpses lying on the ground, and each one of them had died a gruesome death.
Chu Mubai's eyes were cold and deep. He twisted the still struggling wolf king with both arms. With a crisp crack, the wolf king breathed his last. A few drops of blood appeared on his white jade cheek, and his deep eyes seemed to be filled with frost.
"Ooh-ooh-ooh—" Terrified by the god-like humans, the wolf pack howled and retreated.
Xia Yixin was panting as she looked at Chu Mubai.
In a moment of disorientation, she felt as if she were seeing Lu Yan from a previous dimension.
But that feeling quickly disappeared as she watched Chu Mubai kneel down, clutching his bloodied abdomen.
"Chu Mubai!" Xia Yixin quickly supported him, pressed the acupoints to stop the bleeding, and then carried him on her back and ran towards Mengcheng.
Chu Mubai felt as if he were lying on someone's back, but the wound in his abdomen did not hurt as much as he had imagined.
On the contrary, as he smelled the fragrance on "him", his guess became more and more certain. Perhaps she herself did not realize that the emotions she had just expressed were too intense, which was not like those between ordinary men.
Although Chu Mubai was incredibly powerful, it was still a bit impulsive for him to kill seven or eight snow wolves by himself. However, miraculously, his wounds had basically healed after Shen Chen cleaned them. Apart from the cold fragrance mixed with the smell of blood and the bloodstains on his clothes, the wounds that were originally pierced by wolf fangs seemed like an illusion. However, Chu Mubai lost too much blood and fell asleep after being bandaged.
Shen Chen was full of amazement.
Xia Yixin's condition was more serious; half of her right shoulder was a bloody mess, and three of her wolf teeth had been pulled out. She would need at least half a month to recover.
Shen Chen couldn't help but sigh, "This is the normal healing time for a wound. Lord Chu's actions are truly unbelievable. Brother Yan, you think so too, right?"
Although Xia Yixin still looks like Yan Jiu, she still has a psychological trauma about "exposing her breasts" in front of a man. She only showed her right shoulder and pressed her hand against her collar.
She nodded haphazardly and urged Chen Chen, "Hurry up and bandage it. I've looked at it for so long and I still can't see any pattern."
Shen Chen's personality had become much more lively under Xia Yixin's influence during this time. Seeing Yan Jiu's (Xia Yixin's) obvious wariness, he couldn't help but complain, "Brother Yan, we're both men, what are you afraid of?"
"Forget it, I'll do it myself. You just go." Xia Yixin was getting impatient, so she simply pushed away the nagging Shen Chen and started wrapping the bandages herself.
When Shen Chen saw that blood was gushing from "his" shoulder whenever he moved, his medical instincts overwhelmed his other thoughts. He didn't care about Yan Jiu's strange behavior and quickly applied medicine for him. The two of them worked together to bandage "his" wound.
Before leaving, Shen Chen instructed, "You can't get this arm wet for at least half a month. You are a doctor yourself, so you should know what to avoid. You need to pay special attention to the care of dog wounds."
As soon as Shen Chen left, Xia Yixin saw him to the door, but unexpectedly, Zi Linglong bumped into her arms.
"Brother Yan, you're injured!?"
