My family has been wielding knives for generations, but now it's my turn to wield a pen!

"Junior sister, you..."

The woman in the white dress clearly looked embarrassed and annoyed, and her cheeks were slightly flushed.

But in the end, she couldn't utter a word. She let out a heavy snort, lightly touched the ground with her toes, and her white figure vanished from the room.

"Ha ha!"

As the princess watched the woman in the white dress walk away, she finally couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Her senior sister was usually very aloof, and her lukewarm attitude was really unpleasant.

It's rare to see him so embarrassed and annoyed right now!

As the laughter subsided, the eldest princess suddenly remembered something and turned to look at Tang Ningshuang: "By the way, Miss Tang, would you like to come and experience it?"

what?

Tang Ningshuang's face instantly turned red. After glancing at Jiang Xiaobai's bare upper body, she quickly looked away: "I...I don't want to!"

After saying that, Tang Ningshuang picked up her sword and ran towards the outer room as if fleeing.

The princess smiled, and when she turned her gaze back to Jiang Xiaobai, her cheeks also flushed slightly.

He pulled the blanket over Jiang Xiaobai, then got up and quickly walked out of the room.

The next morning.

Jiang Xiaobai opened his eyes and sat up in bed, but couldn't help but gasp.

Yes, his neck hurts.

It felt like someone had slapped him hard across the neck while he was asleep.

After massaging for a while, Jiang Xiaobai finally felt some relief.

But just as he stood up, a chill ran down his chest.

Ok?

Jiang Xiaobai glanced down and was immediately startled: "Wait a minute, I remember I was definitely wearing clothes!"

He was definitely dressed properly before he went to bed last night.

You can't expect your clothes to grow legs and run away after you fall asleep, can you?

Just as Jiang Xiaobai was about to search for something, he noticed something different.

He discovered that bulging muscles had appeared on his body.

Surprised, Jiang Xiaobai clenched his fist again, feeling a warm, indescribable comfort within his body.

After a short period of activity, both my strength and reaction time were noticeably better than before.

They are especially agile.

"Could it be that sleeping can increase your martial arts skills?"

Jiang Xiaobai muttered to himself, admired the clothes for a moment, then found a new outfit, put it on, and went out with a big smile.

As soon as he arrived in the courtyard, the Princess came up and helped Jiang Xiaobai straighten his clothes, which hadn't been properly arranged.

Upon seeing Jiang Xiaobai, Tang Ningshuang couldn't help but step forward and ask, "Jiang Xiaobai, how are you feeling now?"

She chatted with the eldest princess again last night.

According to the eldest princess, Jiang Xiaobai has now reached the first rank.

Although it's still nothing compared to a true martial arts master, it's already vastly different from an ordinary person.

"Excellent!"

Jiang Xiaobai raised his arm and said with a smile, "I feel like I'm not far from becoming a peerless master."

"How about... we have a little sparring match?"

"Can!"

Tang Ningshuang agreed readily and then turned and walked into the courtyard.

After seeing this, Jiang Xiaobai followed.

After the two stopped, Jiang Xiaobai stretched his body briefly and looked at Tang Ningshuang, saying, "Miss Tang, let me make this clear first: fists and feet have no eyes, so please forgive me if I accidentally hurt you!"

"Come!"

Seeing Jiang Xiaobai's confidence, Tang Ningshuang's expression also became serious.

Jiang Xiaobai took a deep breath, pushed off with his feet, and charged straight up.

The next moment, before he could even see how Tang Ningshuang moved...

With a snap, Jiang Xiaobai's arm was pinned behind his back by Tang Ningshuang, and his body bent down.

"Ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch!"

Jiang Xiaobai grinned and opened his mouth.

The dream of becoming a peerless master, which had just begun to take shape, shattered instantly.

Tang Ningshuang smiled and released Jiang Xiaobai, saying, "How can you be so clueless, just blindly rushing forward like this!"

"Wait until you learn some martial arts techniques, then come and spar with me!"

To be fair, she was a participant in this martial arts competition, and her internal strength was at the fourth rank.

Jiang Xiaobai is still a long way from hurting her!

"..."

Jiang Xiaobai rubbed his shoulders, his expression full of helplessness.

It seems that having internal energy is one thing, but knowing how to use it is another!

However, compared to fists and feet, what he really wanted to learn was lightness skill.

It's that kind of unparalleled lightness skill that allows you to leap across rooftops and walls, fight if you can win, and run away if you can't.

If only I could have the Lingbo Weibu (a martial arts technique)...

Jiang Xiaobai shook his head at this thought.

Such martial arts skills simply don't exist in this world; where would he learn them?

Huh?

Just after denying it, Jiang Xiaobai suddenly paused for a moment.

No, perhaps it really is possible.

He thought of Chen Jian.

It should be noted that there is only a general theory behind the One Finger Divine Skill, and when he demonstrated it, he used the Desert Eagle.

But Chen Jian managed to produce the One-Finger Divine Skill on his own.

This skill is simply astonishing.

Moreover, Chen Jian had a particular fondness for martial arts techniques he had never heard of before.

Putting aside everything else, he had a ton of names and general concepts for all kinds of martial arts in his mind!

If he were to tell these things to Chen Jian, and Chen Jian were to research and verify them little by little, and then pass them on to him after he succeeded, wouldn't that be a win-win situation?

Jiang Xiaobai's eyes grew brighter and brighter.

Yes, this is feasible!

When he has the chance, he must find Brother Chen Jian and learn from him.

……

In the following days, Jiang Xiaobai returned to normalcy.

Besides writing books, he usually spends his time visiting the Prime Minister's residence to keep Li Zhiwei company.

Of course, he didn't completely relax on the other side either, and specifically sent people to keep an eye on the movements of Beiyu and Qi.

After a full week, the perfume equipment made by Tianji Tower was finally delivered to the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion.

Jiang Xiaobai specially selected a new courtyard and had the equipment assembled one by one.

From stirring and filtering to heating and cooling, and finally adding a special wooden barrel for settling, everything was arranged according to the drawings he had drawn earlier.

Although the entire set of equipment looks a bit complicated, it is actually time-saving and labor-saving in actual use.

Someone adds flower petals and alcohol at the beginning, and only a few people need to keep an eye on the heat and filter it in the middle. Finally, it can be put directly into a bucket to stand.

After the equipment was assembled, Jiang Xiaobai instructed his servants to purchase a large quantity of various flower petals.

In just two days, carriages filled with flower petals began to be delivered to the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion.

The perfume was then officially put into production.

Another week passed, and as the first batch of perfumes finished settling, Jiang Xiaobai temporarily transferred some skilled servants from the brewing department to begin unloading the perfumes one by one.

At first, only one courtyard had a fragrance, but as barrels of perfume were opened, the rich floral scent quickly spread out.

Before long, the refreshing scent could be smelled throughout almost the entire Duke Zhenguo's mansion.

At that moment, Jiang Jingcheng also breathed in the fragrance of flowers in the lobby.

After taking a deep breath, Jiang Jingcheng looked at Shen Yun beside him and said, "Madam, could this fragrance be from our son's perfume?"

"It should be!"

Shen Yun laughed, her face full of pride: "My son is becoming more and more successful!"

"really!"

As Jiang Jingcheng nodded, his face was full of amazement: "No wonder Xinlan was willing to invest so much money!"

As he spoke, Jiang Jingcheng took out a silver note from his pocket.

Looking at the astonishing amount above, Jiang Jingcheng couldn't help but burst into laughter.

But his laughter hadn't lasted long when a general walked in.

"My lord!"

The general bowed respectfully to Jiang Jingcheng and said, "My lord, there is a letter for you!"
