Chapter 314 I Will Never Forgive You (2600 words)
The martial arts training ground of the Xiao family mansion.
Xiao Mo was still practicing the God-Slaying Spear with his master today.
Perhaps because he had become somewhat accustomed to the moves of the God-Slaying Spear, Xiao Mo learned the God-Slaying Spear more smoothly today compared to the first day.
Of course, in Xiao Mo's view, this was still not enough.
Perhaps, just as my master said, it will take me four or five years to memorize the spear techniques.
However, Xiao Mo knew there was no other way.
Haste makes waste; I cannot bring the talents of my fourth incarnation into the present.
Especially since he cultivates martial arts, not demonic arts.
For those who practice martial arts, the most important thing is to be down-to-earth and take things one step at a time.
As for the other members of the Xiao family, they were practicing their boxing techniques.
But they weren't practicing the Heaven-Opening Fist; they were practicing a style of boxing called the "Eight Gates Fist."
It wasn't because they weren't Huang Shan's apprentices that Huang Shan deliberately didn't pass on his skills to them; it was simply because they lacked the talent.
If someone lacks talent but forces themselves to practice martial arts techniques far superior to the heavens, they are not helping them, but harming them.
However, the level of their martial arts skills is not low, and their talent is also quite high.
It's just that he's far inferior to Xiao Mo.
If they work hard in the future, they might be able to enter the Nascent Soul Realm.
When they join the army and go to war, they can rise step by step and achieve considerable success.
"That's enough for today. As I said before, don't rush. We martial artists must never be too hasty. We must move forward step by step. Compared to speed, the most important thing is to be steady and grounded. Do you understand?"
Huang Shan emphasized again, even feeling that he was being a little long-winded.
But there's nothing we can do.
This kid has a high level of talent and is cultivating quite quickly.
I'm afraid he's too anxious because he's encountered a bottleneck and his cultivation speed is much slower than before.
"Yes, disciple will remember." Xiao Mo bowed with his spear in hand.
"Alright, go take a rest. Your childhood sweetheart is here again, go and play with her." Huang Shan said to Xiao Mo with a smile.
Xiao Mo straightened up and turned his head, and saw a little girl in a pink dress clinging to the fence of the training ground, peeking out her little head and blinking at him.
When Qin Siyao realized she had been discovered, she happily stretched out her little hand and waved at Xiao Mo.
"Master, then this disciple will take his leave."
Xiao Mo bowed and walked towards the little girl outside the door, holding his spear.
"Greetings, Your Highness." Xiao Mo bowed as he approached the little girl.
Qin Siyao pouted: "You promised to call me Siyao."
Xiao Mo smiled and said, "You can still call her Siyao, but the proper etiquette, such as this greeting, cannot be omitted."
"Okay." Qin Siyao, with her hands behind her back, happily took a step forward. "Xiao Mo, did you miss me?"
"Before I even had a chance to think about it, Siyao arrived." Xiao Mo thought it would be at least a while before he could see her again, but only a day had passed.
"Hehe, this means I missed you!" Qin Siyao said happily. "Let's go play!"
"Should we still go outside the city?" Xiao Mo asked.
"Emmm, I can't stay up that late tonight, or my mother will scold me." Qin Siyao thought for a moment, then her gaze fell on the spear in Xiao Mo's hand. "Hey? Xiao Mo, why don't you teach me how to use a spear?"
"Practice with guns?" Xiao Mo thought for a moment. "Gun is too dangerous. How about I teach you some boxing?"
Xiao Mo knew that Qin Siyao just wanted to play around, but since a gun has a blade, he might as well teach her some boxing techniques to improve her health.
"No, I want to practice shooting." Qin Siyao puffed out her cheeks. "You look so cool when you handle a gun, I want to learn too."
“But marksmanship can’t be mastered overnight, and I’ve only just started learning it myself. I’m afraid I might teach Siyao badly.” Xiao Mo smiled. “How about this? My master said that you should learn fist techniques before you learn marksmanship. Siyao, you can learn fist techniques from me first, and then I’ll teach you after you’ve mastered them.”
"Really? Then you can't lie to me."
"I'm not lying to you."
"Pinky promise".
"Pinky promise".
"Pinky promise, never to change for a hundred years~" The two children hooked their fingers together, and the little girl sang an innocent lullaby.
"Xiao Mo, liars will have to swallow a thousand needles," Qin Siyao said, bending slightly.
“I don’t lie.” Xiao Mo nodded.
"Hehe, let's go practice our boxing." Qin Siyao happily pulled Xiao Mo's little hand and walked outside.
Not long after, Xiao Mo led Qin Siyao to a small garden.
“You learn from me. Do exactly what I do,” Xiao Mo said to Qin Siyao.
"Mmm." Qin Siyao nodded earnestly, her eyes full of anticipation.
"Squat into a horse stance, bend forward, and use your waist and hips to drive your arms to throw a punch!"
"Like this?" Qin Siyao mimicked throwing a punch.
"Hmm, not bad, then take a step forward with your left foot."
Xiao Mo taught Qin Siyao the "Eight Gates Fist," which is the same fist technique practiced by other members of the Xiao family, and Xiao Mo naturally knew it as well.
Xiao Mo taught diligently, and Qin Siyao followed along attentively.
At first, Xiao Mo thought the little girl was a bit slow.
As a result, Xiao Mo discovered that Qin Siyao learned quite quickly and seemed to have some talent.
After Xiao Mo finished demonstrating the Eight Gates Fist once, he let Qin Siyao demonstrate it herself.
Although Qin Siyao didn't get some details right, she had mastered almost all the moves of the Eight Gates Fist.
"Xiao Mo, how was it? Did I play well?" Qin Siyao stood up and wiped the sweat from her forehead.
"Yes, Your Highness played very well," Xiao Mo said truthfully.
"Really?" Qin Siyao's eyes sparkled with joy.
“Of course it’s true.” Xiao Mo smiled.
"Then let's have a friendly spar!"
"Um?"
"Isn't the point of practicing boxing to spar? Sometimes I see my older brothers doing that," the little girl said eagerly.
"this"
"Come on, come on, come play!" Qin Siyao said coquettishly, shaking Xiao Mo's arm.
"Alright, Your Highness, I apologize for my rudeness." Xiao Mo figured it wouldn't hurt to play along for a bit.
"Come on!" Qin Siyao jumped away happily, creating some distance, and clenched her little fists. "This heroine is coming!"
"Please," Xiao Mo said with a smile.
"Heave-ho!" Qin Siyao ran towards Xiao Mo, her little fist about to punch him in the chest.
Xiao Mo dodged to the side, then delivered a light punch.
Xiao Mo deliberately held back, each punch was not very powerful or fast, just enough for her to block, and then he found a way to make her throw small punches.
The two seemed evenly matched.
But gradually, Xiao Mo felt that the Eight Gates Fist that Qin Siyao had just learned seemed to be quite interesting.
On a whim, Xiao Mo wanted to increase the difficulty for Qin Siyao, but he accidentally lost control of his fist energy. Qin Siyao cried out "Ah!" as she was jolted by Xiao Mo's fist energy and fell hard to the ground.
"Siyao, are you alright?" Xiao Mo was startled and quickly stepped forward.
"Xiao Mo, you're bullying me," the little girl said, tears welling in her eyes.
"I"
I'm ignoring you.
Just as Xiao Mo was about to explain, Qin Siyao got up, clutched her skirt, and ran to the other side of the garden. She then squatted down by the pond, hugging her knees with both hands, looking extremely aggrieved.
Xiao Mo looked at Peanut Sister standing to the side. Peanut Sister just smiled slightly and said nothing.
Looking at Qin Siyao's small figure, Xiao Mo scratched his head, unsure how to explain himself.
Xiao Mo thought for a moment, then his eyes lit up when he saw some tender green vines and various wildflowers nearby, and he picked some of them.
Qin Siyao, who was squatting by the pond, rubbed her bottom, which had just fallen to the ground, and it didn't seem to hurt so much anymore.
Moreover, the little girl gets angry quickly and calms down just as fast; she's not angry much anymore.
But
Qin Siyao glanced quietly in Xiao Mo's direction, wondering what he was doing.
Why hasn't he apologized to me yet?
Seriously.
They're not so angry anymore.
You should apologize to them right away.
If you don't apologize, how can people continue to associate with you?
etc.
Xiao Mo seemed to want to apologize to me, but I got angry and ran away.
Hmph, I don't care!
You can apologize a second time!
The more Qin Siyao thought about it, the angrier she became.
Not long after, Qin Siyao saw Xiao Mo stand up and walk towards her. She quickly turned her head away and pretended to be angry as she looked at the pond.
"Your Highness, I didn't mean to do that. I didn't have very good control over my internal energy. May I apologize to Your Highness with this?"
Xiao Mo apologized to Qin Siyao.
Hearing Xiao Mo's words, Qin Siyao stood up, turned her head and glanced at him. When she saw the colorful flower wreath in Xiao Mo's hand, her eyes lit up instantly.
But soon, the little girl turned her head again, pouting, and said, "It's just a flower wreath, I won't forgive you."
"Then how can Your Highness forgive me?" Xiao Mo asked with a smile.
"Help me put it on."
Qin Siyao puffed out her cheeks.
"Help me put it on, and I'll forgive you."
