Huang Rong from The Return of the Condor Heroes: Guo'er, calm down.

Inside the ancient tomb, there was a deathly silence.

Only Yang Guo's faint humming could be heard.

Just then, a loud crash came from the doorway of the stone chamber, shattering the awkward silence that filled the room.

The two turned around at the sound and saw that Granny Sun's copper basin had fallen to the ground, spilling water all over the floor, and she was staring at them in disbelief.

Granny Sun first looked at Yang Guo, who was lying on the ground, and then at Xiaolongnu, whose face was flushed and whose hands were still out.

The old man's eyes became extremely complicated.

Shock.

doubt.

There's also a hint of... I don't understand the confusion you young people have.

"that……"

Grandma Sun swallowed hard, gave a dry laugh, and said, "Isn't it... bad timing for this old woman to come?"

"My hearing isn't very good. I heard a lot of crackling sounds inside, and I thought there was a fight going on. I never imagined... I never imagined it was just..."

Grandma Sun tried to find a word to describe the scene, but after racking her brains for a long time, she could only come up with four words:

"Flirting?"

Yang Guo: "..."

Mother-in-law, is this the kind of idiom you're using here?

Little Dragon Girl: "..."

She experienced what it felt like to blush for the first time.

"No! Grandma, you've mistaken me!"

A hint of panic crept into Xiaolongnu's voice; her usual aloofness vanished instantly. "It was him... he ran into him!"

This explanation is weak and unconvincing.

Grandma Sun, with an expression that said, "I understand, I understand everything," bent down and picked up the copper basin.

"It's alright, it's alright. Young people have plenty of energy, and it's cold in this ancient tomb, so it's good to move around."

"This old woman is leaving now, she's leaving now."

"You guys continue, continue. Um... don't be too intense, take care of your health."

After saying that, Grandma Sun turned and left, and thoughtfully closed the stone door behind her.

Only a man and a woman remained in the stone chamber, staring at each other.

Yang Guo lay on the ground, no longer pretending to be dead.

He rubbed his bottom, slowly got up, and looking at Xiaolongnu's embarrassed appearance, the awkwardness in his heart inexplicably dissipated a bit.

On the contrary... I find it kind of cute?

The usually aloof fairy now appears somewhat down-to-earth and unassuming.

"Cough cough."

Yang Guo cleared his throat and broke the silence first.

"Um... Sister Long."

He pointed to his backside, looking aggrieved. "That's only because I'm tough. If it were anyone else, that slap would probably leave them paralyzed."

"You've mastered the 'Heartbreak Palm' technique quite well."

Little Dragon Girl glared at him fiercely.

Although I don't know what the "Heartbreak Palm" is, it's definitely not a nice thing to say.

She took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down and regain her cold demeanor.

But her slightly red earlobes betrayed her.

"That's because you're not skilled enough."

Xiaolongnu coldly said, "Your movements are too slow, your steps are unsteady, and your whole body is full of openings. If I were the enemy, that attack just now wouldn't have hit there, but your vital point."

Yang Guo rubbed his bottom and sighed, "I know I'm slow. I just wanted my sister to teach me."

"I have all this internal energy, yet it's like carrying a mountain of gold and starving to death. Sister Long, doesn't our Ancient Tomb Sect have that kind of... swift, flying lightness skill?"

As Yang Guo spoke, he gestured, "It's that kind of skill, the kind that can catch birds."

Little Dragon Girl glanced at him.

"You want to learn?"

"Yes, I want to! I dream about it!" Yang Guo nodded vigorously. "If I learn it, next time... next time I definitely won't let you hit me."

Seeing his impatient look, Xiaolongnu's lips curled up slightly, revealing a meaningful smile.

Yang Guo felt a chill run down his spine, and an ominous premonition surged up within him.

This woman has gone astray.

"Sister, are you willing to teach me?" Yang Guo asked tentatively, but his foot involuntarily took half a step back. "Is there any condition?"

Little Dragon Girl turned around, her hands behind her back, her posture elegant and graceful, but the words that came out of her mouth made Yang Guo crack on the spot.

"You can learn if you want."

She tilted her head slightly, her eyes full of mockery: "Call me Daddy."

Yang Guo froze on the spot, as if struck by lightning.

These two words sound so familiar.

A few days ago

To pique Xiaolongnu's interest, he would pause at crucial moments when telling the story of the monkey and Lin Daiyu. When Xiaolongnu pressed for the rest of the story, he would take advantage of her and make her say those two words.

Of course, Xiaolongnu didn't understand the meaning of these two words; she only thought they were some kind of honorific title.

Who would have thought that fate would spare anyone?

This karma came way too fast!

Looking at Yang Guo's face, which was flushed and pale, Xiaolongnu felt incredibly relieved.

So this is what it feels like to tease someone.

No wonder this kid is always so happy about it.

"What?" Little Dragon Girl raised an eyebrow. "Don't want to call me? Then so be it. This lightness skill is only enough to fly three or five miles in the sky, it's not anything special."

That's like killing someone by breaking their spirit!

Yang Guo gritted his teeth, his heart filled with hatred.

This is no fairy who doesn't eat the food of mortals; she's clearly a vengeful little witch! She's even learned how to use entrapment!

"Haven't you always dreamed of learning this? Just say the word, and I'll teach you."

Little Dragon Girl wouldn't let it go.

"Um... Sister Long." Yang Guo chuckled dryly, trying to evade the question, "Given our relationship, talking about money would hurt our feelings, and talking about seniority would only make things more distant. Besides, if I call you that, wouldn't it make you sound old?"

"I'm not afraid of getting old," Little Dragon Girl replied calmly, her expression returning to its ethereal, aloof state, though her gaze remained fixed on him. "Are you going to call me or not?"

Yang Guo looked at her stunningly beautiful face.

Call?

A true man stands between heaven and earth, his head may be severed, his blood may flow. If he were to utter the word "father," how would he ever face the world again? How would he ever stand tall in front of Sister Rong?

No.

You can't force yourself to accept this kind of free lunch.

"Hmph." Yang Guo stiffened his neck, his stubbornness flaring up. "Fine, I won't teach you! I'll practice myself! I refuse to believe that a living person can be killed by holding their pee!"

After saying that, he turned and left.

He walked with such grace, taking such long strides.

"Where are you going?" came Little Dragon Girl's voice from behind.

"Practice your skills!" Yang Guo said without turning his head.

As he reached the door, he paused for a moment, wondering if Xiaolongnu would ask him to stay.

As a result, there was complete silence behind me.

He glanced back and saw that Xiaolongnu had already sat back down at the stone table, picked up the book "The Legend of the White Fox" again, and didn't even look at him.

"..."

Yang Guo was so angry that his liver hurt. He stomped his foot and stormed out of the stone chamber.

……

When we exited the ancient tomb, it was midday outside.

The sunlight was so bright that it was impossible to open one's eyes.

Yang Guo plopped down on the grass, plucked a blade of grass and put it in his mouth, feeling increasingly aggrieved.

"You vile woman, you dead woman, your heart is smaller than a pinhead."

He spat fiercely, "So what if you called me that once? Is it really worth holding a grudge like this? You want to be my dad? Dream on!"

Despite the criticism, I still need to practice this light-footed skill.

That beating I just took can't have been for nothing.

He didn't learn any real skills from the Quanzhen Sect, and he looked down on their Golden Goose Skill, complaining that the starting posture was too slow and required a running start, making him look like a big, clumsy goose.

The Ancient Tomb Sect's lightness skill is indeed graceful, but unfortunately they keep it a secret and don't teach it.

"I refuse to believe that without Butcher Zhang, I'd still have to eat hairy pork!"

A sudden inspiration struck Yang Guo.

and many more.

The "Nine Yin Manual" that I copied from the coffin lid that day, it seems there's a chapter in it that specifically talks about body techniques and footwork?

He closed his eyes and searched his mind for the densely packed scriptures.

Before long, an obscure mnemonic appeared in my mind.

"The art of serpentine movement and fox-like roll... crawling on the ground, bending like a snake, rolling like a fox... even in dire straits, one can preserve one's life..."
