But before I finished speaking, a gust of fragrant wind floated around me, making my nose twitch inadvertently.

I opened my eyes and found Lian Xin's thin, cool lips coming to my mouth, but they just lightly touched the corner of my lips and then left me like lightning.

"Why don't you come with me?" Lian Xin asked softly.

I pulled the iron ring on my collarbone and said, "Do I still have a choice?"

Lian Xin took my hand, and then the two of us quickly ran towards the bamboo forest behind the villa.

"Isn't there only one road in this bamboo villa?" I asked.

"Outsiders only know that there is one road. But Lu Yufei told me that there is a simple bridge floating on the water behind it. The location is very hidden, but I only heard about it and have never walked on it." Lian Xin held my hand and said.

"That means that even you are not sure."

"Of course. If you are 100% sure of everything, what's the meaning of life?" Lian Xin said.

Then the two of us tiptoed to avoid the secret whistle in the bamboo forest villa. We stopped on a dangerous shoal at the edge of the bamboo forest.

"Where do you think that simple bridge is?" I asked doubtfully.

"Um...I just heard about it," Lian Xin said with some embarrassment.

"How about we just walk through the front door openly."

Hearing this, Lian Xin pulled on the chain and said sternly, "No!"

I glanced at the rushing river and said, "Shall we come here to fish?"

Lian Xin rolled her eyes at me and walked to the edge of the bamboo forest. Then she narrowed her eyes slightly and stretched out her right palm slightly towards the bamboo forest in front of her. The strange snake tattoo on her left arm rotated at high speed, and one of the white snakes broke free from its restraints and jumped happily into the right palm.

On the bright wrist of the arm.

"Purgatory Ripples!"

With a low roar, an invisible aura centered at Lian Xin's feet spread to the surroundings like ripples on the water! Soon, all the bamboo forests within a hundred meters in front were cut in half!

"sharp."

"Want to learn? I can teach you." Lian Xin took back her jade hand and said.

"Really? Then let's hear it."

Hearing this, Lian Xin stretched out her left hand to me, making a gesture of asking for it.

"What do you need?" I asked doubtfully.

"Give me the silver hairpin."

I paused and then did as I was told. Lian Xin pointed to the two lines of inscriptions on the silver hairpin and said, "This is the 'Purgatory Ripple' technique."

I looked at the small print on it and basically couldn't understand a sentence.

As if sensing my distress, Lian Xin grabbed my wrist, raised the silver hairpin and said, "I know you can't understand, so I'll translate it for you right now."

"You, what are you going to do?"

"Of course I'll engrave it on your arm."

As soon as I finished speaking, before I could react, the silver hairpin in Lian Xin's hand began to circulate rapidly, and two lines of large characters were engraved on my arm.

I grinned in pain, looked at my bloody arm and said, "This word doesn't need to be so big, right?"

"The engraving is too small, what should you do if you can't see clearly?" Lian Xin casually threw the "silver hairpin" to me.

Taking a closer look, "Purgatory Ripple" is a technique that improves leg strength. After practicing it to a great level, you can fly over eaves, walk over walls, and walk on water.

Seeing my confusion, Lian Xinyu raised her hand and explained, "Although I was waving just now, the power of 'Purgatory Ripples' relies on the soles of my feet, and my hands are just a cover-up."

I looked at the mess in front of me and asked, "Very good, but if you do this, will your whereabouts be exposed?"

"It's okay. I used very little strength," Lian Xin said.

"Then why did you break those bamboos?"

"Tie up the bamboo raft." Lian Xin said with her little waist.

"The river is so fast. Is it dangerous to ride on a bamboo raft?"

"Have you forgotten what I said? Just do what I tell you to do." Lian Xin said in a deep voice.

I paused and said, "You are cruel."

After that, I tied the broken bamboos together with straw ropes and made a simple bamboo raft out of them with all my strength.

"Your Majesty the Queen, please get on the boat." I picked up a bamboo pole and gasped.

But "Lian Xin"'s words almost made me angry to death!

"No need, I found a simple pontoon."

"Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

"I just saw it too." Lian Xin pointed to the water and said,

Looking in the direction of her finger, a wooden board that was about to be bound by a rope was looming under the turbulent water. From a distance, it looked like a giant snake meandering underwater, extending to the distant river bank.

What kind of bridge is this? It's just a "buoy..." floating on the river.

"Let's go. It's less than 200 meters away from the river bank. Run over there with me." Lian Xin said.

"No. It's too dangerous. Compared with that shaky float on the water, my bamboo raft is many times better than it." I stopped.

Upon hearing this, the Lotus Heart Jade hand waved, and a few wisps of black and white flames instantly burned the bamboo raft I had worked so hard to make into ashes...

"you…"

"What's wrong with me?" the latter said innocently, spreading his hands.

I smiled bitterly and shook my head, "Nothing."

Lian Xin threw her high heels to me, then tugged on her bracelet and said, "I will lead the way for you. Just use the method you used on the silver hairpin just now and try to run over with me."

After finishing her words, Lian Xin's little feet lightly stepped on the ground, and invisible ripples spread out under her feet. Like a flying seabird, stepping on the floating wooden planks on the water, it quickly skipped towards the other shore.

He was so capable! I hung the latter's high heels around his neck with a straw rope. Then I took a few deep breaths, tried to run the exercises, and followed closely behind him by stepping on the wooden board.

Compared with the graceful lotus steps of the lotus heart, my image of running wildly is just that of running for my life...

But even though I tried my best, there were still no invisible ripples of air under my feet. As you can imagine, halfway through the run I fell off the swinging board into the river!

I can't swim. After falling into the river, I could only hold on to the floating plank, but I couldn't climb up on my own.

"How is this possible?"

Just when I was panicking, a red silhouette suddenly appeared above my head. The tall and straight figure stood calmly above the water. It seemed as if the foot was not a floating board but a solid foundation stone.

"You just like to see me in such a miserable state, don't you?" I said as I wiped off the water stains on my head.

The latter raised his little feet and gently stepped my head into the water, "Wrong! I like to see you struggling to your death."

Instantly sinking into the river, oxygen began to become precious. As the air in my lungs gradually decreased, I began to swim desperately to the water. But no matter how hard I tried, I would be pushed back to the water by a ruthless hand.

inside.

The lack of oxygen made my consciousness begin to blur. The arm holding on to the board also began to gradually break away.

Then I felt my body sinking, slowly falling into the dark water! At this time, in the dark space, it seemed as if countless giant hands stretched out, dragging me into the abyss of death!

But just when I closed my eyes, the iron ring on my chest suddenly moved. Then a huge force instantly pulled me out of the water.

I greedily breathed in the oxygen in the air, and the usually colorless and odorless things became as sweet as honey at this moment.

After taking a deep breath, I found that my head was stuck in the gap between two wooden boards. The lotus heart was just above my head.

I looked up at the jade-like legs above my head and said, "Are you satisfied?"

Lian Xin used her foot to step on my head on the wooden board, "I know the technique after reading it once. Why are you so stupid?"

I grabbed the board and said angrily, "What are you so proud of? I'm going out to have lunch with you, and I'm not competing with you in martial arts. You're here to scold me."

"Huh? Are you still angry?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Lian Xin used her soles to crush my head, crushing the wooden board on which my head was resting!

"I'm telling you, everything I teach you is life-saving. Imagine that you have to run away from here today, but if I weren't here, you would sink to the bottom of the water and drown!" Lian Xin said sternly.

Hearing this, I paused and looked at Lian Xin with a hint of warmth in my eyes.

"Can you give me a hand?" I stretched out my hand and said.

But after hearing this, Lian Xin just said a cold word and turned around to leave. "No one can save you, come up yourself."

Looking at her back, I carefully studied the exercises on my arms again, and then slowly closed my eyes in the rushing river.

But I was too stupid, so I had to settle for the next best thing. I grabbed the wooden board on the float and crawled to the other side little by little.

Faced with Lian Xin's look of contempt, I could only laugh it off in embarrassment.

"How could I forget that you can still crawl over?" Lian Xin said standing above me.

I was exhausted, lying on the beach panting and trying to explain, but found that I had no words at all.

"Kung Fu is not learned in a day, and you will only be counterproductive if you try to force it out." I said shamelessly.
