Chapter 55 Talent 2
◎There are many tricks, but they are all leaky◎
When he opened his eyes in the morning, Yan Yue reached to his side as usual, then suddenly sat up.
She went to bed early last night just to be able to get up early and secretly follow Xiaobai to see what it was doing outside.
In the end, I got up late and there was no one around me.
Chu Zhi had tried her best to go to the teahouse in the past few days just to see Bai Chen. But when she found out yesterday that he was a demon, her pink dream was immediately shattered. Perhaps the shadow left by Yang Jin on her was too great, and she no longer had a favorable impression of most monsters, with the exception of Nan Qing.
Chu Zhi and Nan Qing were on their way to the teahouse when they saw Bai Chen coming out of a shop carrying an oil-paper bag.
The two looked at each other, then went into the shop and asked, "What did that young man buy just now?"
The shopkeeper smiled and pushed a duck next to him and said, "This is the sweet sauce duck! It tastes sweet at first, and then the fresh aroma of the stew spreads out. The flavors are layered and wonderful! This is the new product that the young master recommended to our store. Would you like to try one?"
Chuzhi and Nanqing had already had breakfast, but still bought half a cake.
Nan Qing said, "Sweet ones are what the boss likes."
Chu Zhi asked: "Is he also like our boss like Yang Jin?"
Nan Qing thought, "Do you remember that the boss said that she once met a monster who wanted to fatten her up and eat her?"
After she reminded him, Chu Zhi suddenly realized: "Bai Chen is the monster? Are you buying food for the boss now, or do you want to fatten her up and eat her as soon as possible?"
"No way?" Nan Qing hesitated and said, "According to what you said in those booklets, if a man buys something a woman likes to please her, shouldn't he be attracted to her? Has the boss misunderstood all along?"
Chu Zhi nodded, "With our boss's brain, it is indeed possible. Don't be fooled by her as if she has a lot of tricks in her mind, but every trick is leaky, like a sieve, and is useless!"
Nan Qing chuckled: "Your descriptions are always accurate and precise."
Chu Zhi added: "But if Bai Chen really falls in love with Dongjia, what should we do? Humans and demons have different paths!"
Nan Qing said: "He has feelings, but the boss may not. I think the boss cares less about him than Xiao Bai! Now that he is willing to teach the boss martial arts, it is a good thing for us. Just don't let him know that the boss's blood can restrain the monsters."
Chu Zhi suddenly realized: "If Bai Chen turns his love into hatred, the boss can use the martial arts he taught to fight back against him!" The expression on her face seemed to have seen the excitement, and she exclaimed: "Wow! No wonder people say that snakes are vicious, Sister Nan Qing is worthy of it..."
Chu Zhi stopped talking abruptly. Nan Qing's cool fingers climbed up the back of her neck and blew a cool breeze in her ears.
"Why don't we find a deserted place and test how vicious I am?"
"Sister Nanqing, I was wrong! I was really wrong..."

Yan Yue patted her round belly and said angrily, "You are such a jerk. You eat such greasy food so early in the morning!"
"Look at the way you wolfed down your food just now, and you still have the nerve to complain?" Bai Chen pinched her cheek and questioned, "Come on! Let me see how thick your face is!"
Yan Yue rubbed his face and laughed: "Where did you buy it? I asked around in the city, but no one knows how to make it."
"Why, are you addicted to it?" Bai Chen raised a smug smile, "Say something nice to please me, and I'll have more tomorrow."
Yan Yue closed her eyes and boasted: "Master, you are a peerless beauty, handsome and unparalleled. I can climb up to your high branch, which is really a great honor for everyone!"
Bai Chen's mouth twitched, and he frowned and said with disdain: "What a mess?"
Yan Yue lost her patience and begged directly: "Master, you are the best in heaven and on earth!"
Bai Chen almost couldn't hold back his laughter, and finally agreed: "Okay, okay, I'll bring it to you tomorrow." He restrained his smile and pretended to be stern: "Did you read the book on whip techniques yesterday?"
Yan Yue said confidently: "I've seen it! Just teach me the moves."
Bai Chen took the booklet and checked a few items. He was very satisfied and said, "Come on, I'll take you somewhere!"
Yan Yue, wearing a sky-blue outfit, stood in the martial arts school of a martial arts school and asked Bai Chen, "So, you don't know how to use a whip, right?"
Bai Chen coughed twice to hide his embarrassment and said in a contemptuous tone: "These are all beginner's moves. It's more than enough to find a martial arts master to teach you!"
Yan Yue was confused: "Then why do you insist on taking me as your apprentice? What do you want to teach me?"
Bai Chen pretended to be profound: "When you have learned all these basic skills, I will naturally teach you advanced skills. You don't have any basic skills now. Don't even think about running before you learn to walk."
He was quickly slapped in the face.
The martial artist first asked Yan Yue to stand in a horse stance, then tested her lower body, which was as solid as a rock. Then, I asked her to try walking on the plum blossom poles.
She just walked steadily in the first lap, and seemed to find it very fun. Then she began to speed up. In the third lap, she was walking on flat ground. In the fifth lap, she just jumped left and right on it. Bai Chen was so scared that he stretched out his arms, fearing that she would miss and fall.
It was rare to see a girl with such an agile figure. Several people from the school's martial arts field came over to watch the fun. Some said that if she had not practiced the basic skills, she would have been a real martial arts genius!
Yan Yue said proudly: "That's right! Otherwise, why would he come all the way here and beg me to be his apprentice?"
Bai Chen held his forehead helplessly: It's really a stain on my life!
The martial artist might have wanted to show off in front of the beautiful lady, or maybe Bai Chen had previously looked down on these as just basic skills, so he deliberately provoked him by saying, "Since you have extraordinary skills, why don't you and I demonstrate to you the essence of this whip technique?"
Bai Chen easily received the hostile signal and curled his lips: "Okay!"
The news that the pretty boy was going to compete with the martial arts master spread quickly, and people from the school's martial arts field gathered around after hearing the news.
Bai Chen stood tall at one side of the arena, his black hair tied behind his head, his eyes clear and bright, one hand behind his back, looking calm and composed. Although the martial artist was not fat, he looked very strong and powerful. Bai Chen standing in front of him really looked like a weak and powerless dandy.
There was a huge crowd of spectators, and the sounds of booing and discussion were endless.
As the whip snapped, everyone held their breath and stared at the two people who were about to start the duel.
The martial artist swung his long whip and said to Yan Yue, "A long whip with a short handle is wielded flexibly and gracefully, and it is powerful yet soft. It can best show off a woman's heroic spirit! Girl, watch out!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he swung the whip violently. The tip of the whip cut through the air like a sharp blade, making a sharp whistling sound, and instantly swept towards Bai Chen!
Bai Chen smiled lazily, tapped his toes lightly, and slid sideways several feet like a ghost! The long whip stuck to the corner of his clothes and only brought up a slight breeze, causing his hair to fly wildly.
When the martial artist saw that his attack missed, his eyes widened with anger, and he clenched the long whip with both hands and performed a set of fierce whip techniques. The long whip flew up and down in the air, like black lightning, weaving an impenetrable net, blocking all of Bai Chen's escape routes.
However, Bai Chen still strolled leisurely, sometimes jumping high like an eagle spreading its wings, easily avoiding the whip that swept across; sometimes bending down like a seagull skimming the water, letting the long whip whiz past his back.
He shuttled gracefully between the whip shadows, and the whip tips kept whistling in the air, but they never hurt him at all.
In just two quarters of an hour, beads of sweat rolled down the martial artist's forehead, he was panting, and could hardly swing the whip anymore.
Bai Chen's clothes fluttered in the wind, his hair was neatly arranged, and he still had a nonchalant smile on his face, as if the all-out fight across from him was nothing more than playing with a child.
The situation was clear, and the martial artist stopped and saluted Bai Chen with his fists: "Young Master, your Qinggong is outstanding. I am convinced."
Bai Chen smiled faintly and looked at Yan Yue: "Have you learned it?"
Yan Yue's face was full of admiration and worship, "I want to learn this from you! If I can dodge so quickly, who can hurt me?"
Bai Chen's smile suddenly collapsed, and he vaguely rejected it: "You can't learn it now! First learn how to use weapons from the martial arts master, and I will teach you later!"
In the following days, Yan Yue and Bai Chen began to go back and forth to the school martial arts field every day.
In less than a month, she had mastered the whipping technique to perfection. The martial arts teacher who taught him that day could never have imagined that not only could a girl like her learn all his decades of martial arts in such a short time, but she also let him be defeated by the moves he taught!
It was clearly taught by him, but Yan Yue seemed to have understood the subtleties of the moves better.
"The Yangtze River's back waves push the front waves!" The martial artist who taught the Emei thorn said this to comfort him, and then said self-deprecatingly: "The next one will push me."
It turned out that Bai Chen had already booked a course on Emei Thorn for Yan Yue.
However, the Chinese New Year was coming soon, and the martial artists had to go back home to work, so the course was scheduled after the Chinese New Year.
On the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month, the teahouse closed.
Yan Yue and Bai Chen were competing in the yard. Bai Chen saw Nan Qing was watching seriously, so he asked Nan Qing to accompany Yan Yue and he gave instructions.
This made Chu Zhi suffer. She had to go in and out alone, preparing New Year's goods time and again. The resentment on her face was almost tangible, and it was reflected in the faces of the three people!
"How dare you guys play there? Can't you see I'm busy as hell?"
Bai Chen said unhappily: "How can this be a joke? With martial arts skills, you will never be bullied again in the future!"
After that, he sneered at Yan Yue, "Look at the people around you. It really proves the old saying that if the top beam is crooked, the bottom beam will be crooked! The boss doesn't know what is good or bad, and even the people below don't know what is good or bad!"
Nan Qing mocked back: "That's also your fault! Aren't you the 'leader' of our boss?"
Yan Yue's eyes sparkled, and she said happily, "Yes! You are my successor, Master!"
Bai Chen choked and felt angry: the world is becoming more and more corrupt, and now even a little snake dares to provoke him! He stared at Yan Yue and said, "How many times have you called me Master in all this time? Do you know how to throw dirty water at me?"
Chu Zhi refused to be outdone and jokingly said, "You are the one who spilled the dirty water. I will return it to you in the same way you spilled it!"
Three women put on a show. Bai Chen boasted that he was good at talking, but he was no match for the three of them. He could only say, "I'm really scared of you! Tell me what you need to do, and let's get busy together!"
The four of them went out to buy some food together. Chu Zhi said that they must eat fish during the New Year, which means there will be surplus every year, so they went to the riverside to buy some fish.
Although the New Year is approaching, the river bank is bustling with activity, like a bustling market under the warm spring sun. The river wind whistled past, bringing with it a bone-chilling chill, but it could not blow away the fiery enthusiasm of the people in the slightest.
Fishing boats were docked in an orderly manner on the shore, their hulls swaying slightly with the ups and downs of the river, and rough shouts rose one after another.
"Freshly caught river fish! Fat and tender, stewed in soup, braised, it's delicious no matter how you cook it!"
In the lively atmosphere, a scream pierced through the noise, attracting passers-by on the shore to stop and look.
“Help!”
"Someone fell into the water!"
