Young Master, Don't Show Off - Chapter 348
[Chapter 348 Someone on the Moon]
When the Imperial Concubine was eating, Lin Xiu was watching her.
She was already thirty-four years old, but her skin was still delicate and fair, not like her peers at all. But compared to girls like Shuangshuang and Linglong, she was definitely not as good. Even with Shuangshuang’s healing power to nourish her, it could only slow down her aging.
After all, that was someone else’s ability, not hers.
When she herself had the healing power, eternal youth and youthful appearance would not be a dream.
The Imperial Concubine ate this meal slowly for half an hour.
After dinner, she wiped the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief, then folded her hands in front of her chest, looked at Lin Xiu, and said, “Didn’t you say that after dinner, you can make my skin as delicate as Linglong’s? I see you become…”
Lin Xiu said, “This is not the place. Please move to the back garden.”
In the back garden of the small house, Lin Xiu and the Imperial Concubine sat in the pavilion. Linglong brought a chessboard and said to the Imperial Concubine, “Please stretch out your left hand. I may offend you a little later…”
The Imperial Concubine stretched out her left hand and looked at Lin Xiu quietly. She was a little expectant in her heart, wondering how he would offend her.
Lin Xiu held the Imperial Concubine’s hand with one hand, and Linglong and Shuangshuang on the side opened their mouths.
Even the Imperial Concubine was stunned for a moment, but she trusted Lin Xiu very much and didn’t say anything. She just glanced at Shuangshuang and Linglong, and the two immediately walked to the door of the back garden. This scene must not be seen by others.
In fact, they didn’t need to be alert at all. Lin Xiu’s telekinesis had already covered this place, and anyone who approached could not escape his induction.
The two were playing chess in the pavilion, but the Imperial Concubine’s mind was not here.
She began to have wild thoughts in her mind. Could it be that Lin Xiu was looking for an excuse to take advantage of her?
Based on her understanding of Lin Xiu, he was definitely not such a person.
What’s more, she was fourteen years older than him…
Compared with age, their identities were not a problem. At most, she would not be the Imperial Concubine. The Emperor had long wanted her to hide her identity and live the rest of her life as an ordinary person… Should she
live in seclusion in Jiangnan or in the capital by then…
When the Imperial Concubine was playing chess, she was absent-minded, sometimes frowning, sometimes smiling. Half an hour had passed, and Lin Xiu’s strange skills had been copied. He also guided that power and circulated it in her body for several times. They didn’t even finish a game of chess.
He wanted to let go of his hand, but found that the two of them were holding hands tightly.
It wasn’t Lin Xiu who was holding it tightly, but the Imperial Concubine was holding it tightly.
Lin Xiu coughed lightly and said, “My lady, it’s done…”
The Imperial Concubine came back to her senses and hurriedly let go of her hand. She looked down at her arm and was stunned.
Her arm was obviously whiter and more delicate than before, and it felt smooth to the touch. The skin of Linglong and Shuangshuang, whom she had always envied, was just like this.
She stared at Lin Xiu in a daze. She never thought that what Lin Xiu said was actually true!
He was not lying to her…
Even Shuangshuang and Linglong beside her widened their eyes, with an unbelievable look on their faces. The Imperial Concubine’s skin was really like that of a girl, and she looked much younger.
Shuangshuang looked at Lin Xiu in shock and asked in confusion, “Brother Lin, how did you do it?”
Lin Xiu briefly explained it to them.
After all, this was something that subverted the cognition of the supernatural arts, and it would take some time for Shuangshuang to accept it.
On the contrary, the Imperial Concubine, because she didn’t know much about the supernatural arts, was calmer.
She didn’t know what it meant to be able to give others abilities.
She only knew that she would not grow old in the future and could live a long time.
When Lin Xiu was 20, she was 34, and it seemed that there was a big age difference.
When Lin Xiu was 100, she was 114, and the age difference was not that big.
If they could live a little longer, they would be the same age.
Eh… why did she think about this?
The imperial concubine looked in the mirror, indulging in her beauty, unable to extricate herself. Shuangshuang looked at Lin Xiu and saw that he was pale, and asked, “Brother Lin, it is not easy for you to give others abilities, right?”
Lin Xiu nodded and said, “It is a bit exhausting, but I will be fine after a day of rest.”
Shuangshuang held his hand and said, “I will help you recover.”
Shuangshuang’s strength is at the peak of the upper realm of the Xuan level. Under normal circumstances, the upper limit of the healing ability is here. The strength of the two people is two major realms apart. Her ability has played a negligible role in Lin Xiu.
Lin Xiu looked at her and said, “It’s not easy to cultivate healing abilities. You can think about what abilities you want.”
Shuangshuang said embarrassedly, “I, can I do that too?”
It was incredible to others, but to him, it was just holding hands or sleeping together. It was not easy to give them before, but now there is no such concern.
Whether it is the Imperial Concubine, Shuangshuang, Linglong or Murongyu, they can all be given abilities through this unconventional way.
Although Shuangshuang’s current cultivation is piled up by the court with Yuanjing, she can pile up the healing ability to the upper realm of the Xuan level. Her basic talent should not be low, and she will not be too slow to cultivate other abilities.
When Shuangshuang was thinking about this problem, Lin Xiu found that the little palace maid Linglong was also looking at him with pitiful eyes.
Lin Xiu pinched her face and said, “Don’t worry, you are indispensable…”
She has been serving the Imperial Concubine, and she can’t let the Imperial Concubine alone keep her beauty forever. During
this period, Murongyu was practicing outside. For the sake of the Empress, she couldn’t fall behind, but that would have to wait until she came back.
For the Imperial Concubine, healing ability alone is not enough. She has to use Yuanjing to improve her cultivation. When she advances to the Xuan level, she can change her ability to the Water Art and use the Water Essence to advance to the Earth level. During
this time, Lin Xiu has been paving the way for the people around him. After giving Shuangshuang spatial ability and Linglong healing ability, he can finally practice well.
Compared with the past, Lin Xiu is not so desperate in practice now.
At that time, he secretly practiced magic during the day and practiced martial arts all night long, almost without sleep, trying to catch up with those geniuses.
Now he has caught up with them and left most of them far behind. After working so hard for so long, can’t he enjoy it? On
a starry night, hugging A Ke to watch the moon, isn’t it much better than practicing martial arts?
Today is the full moon, Lin Xiu sits in A Ke’s palace, hugs her, and tells her stories about the moon.
“Legend has it that in ancient times, ten suns suddenly appeared in the sky, scorching the earth, drying up rivers, withering crops, and making it impossible for people to survive…”
Lin Xiu was telling the story of “Chang’e Flying to the Moon”, a myth that almost everyone in China knows, but there is no related legend in Daxia.
“Chang’e ate the elixir and suddenly floated up. She flew out of the window, flew over the countryside covered with silver light, flew higher and higher, and finally flew to Guanghan Palace on the moon and became a fairy in the Moon Palace…”
A Ke looked at the full moon in the sky and asked curiously, “Are there really people on the moon?”
Lin Xiu looked up at the moon, his eyes spanning hundreds of thousands of miles, and saw only a ring of mountains. He smiled and said, “Of course not, this is just a myth. There is no air on the moon, and people cannot survive…”
He was halfway through his words when his expression suddenly froze.
Lin Xiu closed his eyes, opened them again, and locked his eyes on a ring of mountains.
There, a figure was sitting cross-legged.
With his vision skills at the upper level of the Earth Rank, he could already vaguely see some details on the surface of the moon. On the top of that mountain, there was indeed a human-shaped outline.
Lin Xiu looked at it several times to confirm that he was not mistaken.
There seemed to be a person on the moon.
But after a long time, the figure did not move. Until the second night and the third night, when Lin Xiu looked again, the human-shaped outline remained the same as a few days ago.
Lin Xiu guessed that it might be a human-shaped stone.
That is the moon, 380,000 kilometers away from here. Even if you are at the upper level of the Heaven Rank, you can’t fly to the moon. That kind of strong person also needs to breathe and needs air.
Just when Lin Xiu had made up his mind, on the fifth day, when he habitually looked up at the moon, he found that the human-shaped stone had disappeared.
Lin Xiu looked around and confirmed that it was the crater, but the human-shaped outline on the platform on the top of the mountain disappeared without a trace, leaving only a platform.
On the sixth night, the figure appeared on the platform again.
Lin Xiu’s throat moved, and his eyes were full of disbelief.
There really is a person on the moon.
