An unexpected encounter with the sleeping Little Dragon Girl leads to the annihilation of the Quanzh

Inside the ancient tomb.

Lin Ye examined his gains and strength.

Isn't this a bit too incredible to start?

However, Lin Ye likes it!

He lay on the cold stone bed, his lips curving upwards in a wild, almost uncontrollable smile.

Our wonderful cohabitation life is about to begin!

He was already looking forward to how he would greet his beautiful roommate the next morning. The next morning, Lin Ye woke up very early.

He meditated cross-legged on the stone bed all night, thoroughly integrating the several new internal energies he had acquired, and felt refreshed and invigorated.

Pushing open the stone door, he saw that Xiaolongnu had already gotten up and was quietly practicing her sword in the main tomb chamber.

The morning sunlight streamed through the ventilation openings at the top of the ancient tomb, casting dappled patterns of light onto her snow-white figure, creating a breathtakingly beautiful scene.

Her swordsmanship was light and graceful, her movements beautiful; it was more like dancing than swordsmanship.

Lin Ye knew that this was the Ancient Tomb Sect's "Jade Maiden Heart Sutra Sword Technique".

He didn't make a sound to disturb them, but just leaned against the door, quietly enjoying the view.

Only after Xiaolongnu sheathed her sword and stood still did he smile and say, "Good morning, Miss Long."

When Xiaolongnu heard the voice, she turned around and saw him. A faint smile appeared on her cool face. Although it was fleeting, it still stunned Lin Ye.

The fairy sister's smile is so beautiful!

"morning."

Little Dragon Girl responded softly, then sheathed her sword and asked, "Are you... hungry?"

When she asked him that, Lin Ye realized that he was indeed a little hungry.

He was about to say "a little" when he saw Xiaolongnu turn around, take out two cold white steamed buns from a stone cabinet, and hand one to him.

"..."

Lin Ye looked at the cold, hard steamed bun in his hand, which looked like it could be used as a brick, and his lips twitched.

He knew that expecting Xiaolongnu to cook anything delicious was simply a pipe dream.

In the original story, when Yang Guo first arrived, wasn't he gnawing on this kind of stuff every day?

"What's wrong? Not to your liking?"

Seeing that he didn't move, Xiaolongnu tilted her head, somewhat puzzled.

In her opinion, having food at all is good enough.

"No...no."

Lin Yeqian chuckled; he had no desire to eat this stuff.

His eyes lit up, and he had an idea.

"Miss Long, is this all you eat every day?"

He asked.

"Um."

Little Dragon Girl nodded, picked up a steamed bun, and began to nibble on it in small bites, as if she were eating some kind of delicacy.

Lin Ye felt sorry for her toothache just looking at her.

"This won't do!"

Lin Ye said with a serious expression, "Eating this every day won't provide enough nutrition and is bad for your health. Especially for you, who was just injured, you need to replenish your nutrients properly."

He placed the steamed bun back on the stone table, then said to Little Dragon Girl with a mysterious look, "Miss Dragon, wait and see. Today I'll show you what real gourmet food is!"

After saying that, without waiting for Xiaolongnu's reaction, he turned around and walked out of the main tomb chamber, heading straight for the ancient tomb's kitchen.

He figured out the location of the kitchen in the ancient tomb yesterday.

Although simple, it still had pots, pans, firewood, rice, oil, and salt.

Lin Ye searched around inside and found flour, eggs, some dried mushrooms, and cured meat.

These estimates were all left behind by Granny Sun.

"Not bad, not bad, the materials are quite complete."

Lin Ye nodded in satisfaction.

In his previous life, he was a young man living alone. To treat his stomach, his cooking skills, while not at the level of a master chef, were still enough to prepare a simple home-cooked meal.

He decided that this morning, he would make a bowl of hot egg noodles for Xiaolongnu!

Just do it.

Light the fire, knead the dough, roll out the dough, cut the noodles...

The movements were fluid and graceful.

Soon, a bowl of fragrant mushroom, cured meat, and egg noodles was ready.

A golden egg rests on a bed of snow-white noodles, topped with a few slices of fragrant mushrooms and glistening cured meat, and sprinkled with a little bit of chopped green onion (which he found). Just the aroma alone is enough to make your mouth water.

Lin Ye carried two bowls of noodles and returned to the main tomb chamber with a proud and imposing air.

"Ding ding ding! Miss Dragon, dinner is ready!"

Little Dragon Girl was sitting at the stone table, gnawing on a hard, dry steamed bun.

She saw Lin Ye bring in two large bowls, and upon smelling the enticing aroma, she paused in her actions.

She stared at the delicious-looking noodles in the bowl, her cool eyes filled with surprise and curiosity.

"What...is this?"

She asked.

"This is called 'Heart-Shaped Egg Noodles'!"

Lin Ye proudly placed one of the bowls in front of her, "I made this especially for you, try it!"

Little Dragon Girl looked at the noodles in front of her, then at Lin Ye, hesitated for a moment, and finally picked up her chopsticks.

She imitated Lin Ye, picked up a small handful of noodles, blew on them gently, and then carefully put them into her mouth.

The next second, her eyes widened suddenly.

good to eat!

too delicious!

The noodles were chewy and smooth, the broth was delicious and rich, the eggs were tender, and the aroma of mushrooms and cured meat blended perfectly together, creating a storm of flavors in her mouth!

The best thing she had ever eaten since she was a child was a bowl of plain porridge that Grandma Sun would occasionally cook for her.

Compared to this bowl of noodles, this is practically pig slop!

Little Dragon Girl no longer cared about maintaining a ladylike image; she picked up her chopsticks and began to eat heartily.

Lin Ye felt incredibly accomplished watching her eat so adorably.

The way to a woman's heart is through her stomach.

The ancients were right!

Soon, Xiaolongnu finished the bowl of noodles completely, even drinking every last drop of the soup.

She put down the bowl, licked her lips with lingering satisfaction, and then realized her lapse in decorum, a suspicious blush rising on her cheeks.

"I……"

"How is it? Delicious, right?"

Lin Ye asked with a smile.

"……Um."

Little Dragon Girl nodded, her voice barely audible.

"If you like it, I'll cook it for you every day from now on!"

Lin Ye patted his chest and assured him.

"day by day?"

Little Dragon Girl raised her head, her eyes sparkling with anticipation.

"Yes, every day!"

Lin Ye waved his hand dismissively, "Frying, stir-frying, braising, stewing—I'm proficient in all eight major cuisines! I guarantee you won't have the same dish twice in a month!"

Although it's a bit of bragging, it's harmless if it's meant to win favor.

Little Dragon Girl looked at him, her eyes filled with something she herself couldn't quite explain.

After breakfast, Lin Ye volunteered to wash the dishes.

He washed the dishes while thinking about his next plan.

He has now successfully moved into the ancient tomb, and his relationship with Xiaolongnu has changed from strangers to "roommates who provide meals," which is a big improvement.

The next step is to figure out how to further enhance the relationship.

Dual cultivation of the Jade Maiden Heart Sutra!

This was the first thought that popped into Lin Ye's mind.

This martial art not only greatly improves the skills of both people, but the process of dual cultivation itself involves extremely intimate contact.

What could be a faster way to build a closer relationship than this?

But how should I bring it up?

He went directly to Little Dragon Girl and said, "Auntie, let's cultivate together!"

He'd probably be mistaken for a thug and killed with a single sword strike.

We need to find a suitable opportunity to get her to bring it up herself, or at least to make her not object.

Lin Ye thought for a moment and then came up with an idea.

After washing the dishes, he returned to the main tomb chamber and saw Xiaolongnu practicing her sword again.

He walked over and said, "Miss Long, your swordsmanship is exquisite, but... it's still lacking something."

Upon hearing this, Xiaolongnu stopped what she was doing, turned to look at him, and looked at him with a puzzled expression in her cool eyes.

Her "Jade Maiden Heart Sutra Swordplay" was created by her ancestor, Lin Chaoying. It is one of the most outstanding martial arts of the Ancient Tomb Sect, with exquisite moves and endless variations.

She asked herself, "I've already reached an extremely high level, how could I be lacking something?"

"What's missing?"

She asked.

Lin Ye smiled, but instead of answering directly, he took a longsword from the weapon rack next to him.

"We'll exchange a couple of moves, and you'll see."

Little Dragon Girl glanced at him and nodded.

She was also very curious about the swordsmanship of this young man whose inner strength was unfathomable.

The two stood in the center of the stone chamber, facing each other from a distance.

"Miss Long, please."

Lin Ye gestured for him to proceed.

Little Dragon Girl didn't hold back either. With a flick of her wrist, her longsword transformed into a white rainbow, piercing straight towards Lin Ye's chest.

The sword moves are light, swift, and silent, which is the essence of the Jade Maiden Sword Technique.

Lin Ye stood still, motionless.

Just as the sword tip was about to touch his clothes, he slightly turned his body, narrowly avoiding the sword.

At the same time, his longsword struck first, at an incredible angle, aiming at Xiaolongnu's wrist.

Little Dragon Girl was startled and quickly changed her move, withdrawing her sword to defend herself.

Ding!

The two swords clashed, producing a clear, ringing sound.

Xiaolongnu felt a gentle yet irresistible force emanating from the opponent's sword, which made her wrist go numb and almost caused her to drop the sword.

She quickly took two steps back to steady herself, her eyes filled with shock as she looked at Lin Ye.

In that move just now, Lin Ye didn't use his profound internal energy, but relied purely on the variation of his sword techniques.

However, his sword techniques...

She completely controlled her Jade Maiden Sword Technique!

"Again."

Lin Ye said with a smile.

Little Dragon Girl took a deep breath and attacked again.

Next, the stone chamber was filled with flashing sword light and the clanging sound of swords ringing out.

Xiaolongnu unleashed the Jade Maiden Sword Technique to its fullest extent, her sword moves flowing like clouds and water, relentlessly attacking Lin Ye from all directions.

However, no matter how her swordsmanship changed, Lin Ye could always easily find the flaws in her sword moves, and then use seemingly simple yet incredibly exquisite swordsmanship to neutralize them one by one.

The sword in his hand became an impenetrable wall, rendering all of Xiaolongnu's attacks ineffective.

Moreover, he only defended and never attacked, and each time he pointed out the shortcomings in Xiaolongnu's sword moves at just the right moment when Xiaolongnu's old strength was exhausted and her new strength had not yet been generated.

"This move, 'Little Garden Chrysanthemum,' is too solid. If the enemy's skill surpasses yours, they can easily deflect your sword."

"This move, 'Cold Moon Peeping at People,' is agile, but the lower body is unstable, making it easy for others to seize an opening."

"And then there's this move, 'Wandering the World,' which has plenty of sword intent but lacks staying power..."

Lin Ye countered the moves while leisurely offering pointers.

He not only possessed the max-level "Jade Maiden Heart Sutra," but also had a thorough understanding of all the martial arts of the Ancient Tomb Sect. His understanding of the Jade Maiden Sword Technique was even more profound than that of Little Dragon Girl, the legitimate successor.

The more Little Dragon Girl fought, the more frightened she became.

The problems Lin Ye pointed out were ones she herself had never noticed, but upon closer reflection, they were indeed flaws in her swordsmanship.

This boy...

How could he have such a deep understanding of the Ancient Tomb Sect's martial arts?

Even more insightful than oneself?

After several dozen moves, Xiaolongnu stopped on her own. She stood with her sword in hand, looking at Lin Ye with a complex expression, and asked, "Who... exactly are you? Why do you know our Jade Maiden Sword Technique? And even... do you know the Quanzhen Sect's sword techniques?"

Just now, when Lin Ye was dissecting her sword moves, he occasionally used one or two moves of the Quanzhen Sword Technique.

Those moves were precisely the techniques that countered her Jade Maiden Sword Technique.

That was what shocked her the most.

It should be noted that the Jade Maiden Heart Sutra and the Jade Maiden Pure Heart Sword Technique were originally created by the founder, Lin Chaoying, to counter Wang Chongyang's Quanzhen martial arts.

Logically speaking, the Jade Maiden Swordplay should be the counter to the Quanzhen Swordplay.

But now, Lin Ye has turned the tables and used the Quanzhen Sword Technique to break her Jade Maiden Sword Technique!

This completely overturned her understanding.

Lin Ye sheathed his sword and smiled mysteriously: "Didn't I already say that I used to be in the Quanzhen Sect? As for why I know your swordsmanship... that's because I know a secret."

"What secret?"

Little Dragon Girl pressed for an answer.

"A secret about your ancestral master Lin Chaoying and the founder of the Quanzhen School, Wang Chongyang."
