All Heavens: Yin Zhiping, a Demon with a Daoist Heart!

Chapter 78 What I Want to Say, What I Want to Do

Wu Sanniang said, "A-Yuan is protected by Master Yideng and Hong Qigong. What danger could she possibly be in that she needs your help? Why don't you just stay at home to avoid causing trouble?"

Wu Santong always respected his master, and thought to himself that it was true.

Seeing that his attitude had softened slightly, Wu Sanniang paused, then, panting heavily, said, "Husband—can you—can you scrub my back?"

Wu Santong was taken aback. He saw Wu Sanniang's slender silhouette through the curtain, but he walked away without looking back.

Wu Sanniang felt a void in her heart and began to sob softly.

After crying for a while, her mind calmed down a bit, but she couldn't help but think of the happy experiences of the day. The image of Yin Zhiping appeared in her mind, and her thoughts became hazy.

The water in the basin was splashing, and Wu Sanniang was taking a bath. Before she knew it, quite some time had passed.

As evening approached, her face glowed, her eyes shone, and her skin became radiant. She quickly prepared a meal and entered Tianlong Temple with anticipation, where another lively scene unfolded.

For three consecutive months, as the year draws to a close.

Yin Zhiping stayed peacefully in Tianlong Temple, doing good deeds every day to improve his martial arts skills, and constantly integrating and mastering the techniques.

-

Early that morning, Yin Zhiping finished practicing a set of Luohan boxing in the courtyard to stretch his muscles and bones, exhaling long and deep breaths.

Collect power.

Time's up!

Stop killing with kindness—a chivalrous heart!

Side Quest: Hidden Sword!

March has arrived; may your heart remain gentle and kind!

[Reward: Divine Illumination Skill (Mastery)!]

boom!

A vast, boundless power surged forth, flowing into Yin Zhiping's limbs and bones, passing through his incredibly resilient meridians, and merging into his dantian.

He has gained another thirty years of internal energy!

At this moment, his dantian was filled with true qi, far surpassing anyone in the martial arts world. Even if the four great masters attacked together, they would not be able to withstand the power of his palm!

Truly invincible!

Yin Zhiping smiled.

He opened the panel.

Name: Yin Zhiping

Age: 18 (35 years and 2 months remaining)

[Comprehension: 69 (Exceptional Talent)]

[Innate Talent: 87 (Exceptional Spiritual Ability)]

[Charm: 100 (Beautiful as jade, exuding a unique fragrance, with captivating eyes)]

[Walking Through the Heavens: Not yet activated]

[Internal Strength: 167 years]

Martial Arts: Nine Yin Manual, Volume 2 (Minor Success), Divine Illumination Skill (Mastery) —

[Secondary Professions: Massage Therapist (LV5), Musician (LV6)]

"Hmm, not bad!"

Yin Zhiping thought to himself that the progress he had made in the past three months was truly remarkable.

First and foremost is his most cherished age, which has changed from 30 to 35 years old.

While there is certainly some improvement in the system, it is mostly achieved through self-cultivation of mind and body, strengthening of the body's foundation, expansion of meridians, and nourishment of oneself with powerful internal energy.

Practicing martial arts really can lead to longevity!

Over time, he used the Northern Darkness Divine Art to absorb internal energy and improve his cultivation, which in turn nourished and replenished himself to prolong his lifespan, and then cultivated even stronger internal energy during his long lifespan.

Perpetual motion machine?

Furthermore, he has now mastered the Divine Illumination Technique at the advanced level, which has the effect of bringing the dead back to life and prolonging life.

Longevity is within your reach!

In addition, there are comprehension and physical constitution. Comprehension has reached 69, just one point away from leveling up. Physical constitution has reached 87, steadily moving towards 100.

For the past three months, I haven't traveled the martial world, so I've had fewer opportunities to do chivalrous deeds. At most, I spend my days in this courtyard interacting with the beauties. As a result, my chances of leveling up have decreased, and my comprehension and physical attributes have improved relatively little.

However, Yin Zhiping was satisfied with this, and he would go down the mountain as soon as the end of the year was over.

As for that [Walking Through the Heavens] —

Yin Zhiping strongly suspected that this thing was given to him by the system as a hope, but it was completely unusable now and could only be activated after a full year of Hidden Sword.

They didn't care anymore, and just waited to see what its function would be in the future.

In terms of martial arts, although the improvement in each skill was small, Yin Zhiping had already mastered all the sword techniques in three months and developed his own new sword technique.

The Quanzhen Swordplay, the Jade Maiden Swordplay, the Dugu Swordplay, the Yue Maiden Swordplay—all these styles converge in one place, extracting their essence.

[Sword Technique: One Sword for All Things (Profound)!]

Yin Zhiping dragged the panel and added this column.

"Hiss—isn't this name a bit too grand? Oh well, whatever."

Now, with his unparalleled internal strength, exceptional talent, and exceptional comprehension, he is naturally capable of creating his own sword techniques, just like other grandmasters.

And it only took three months.

This sword strike has only one move.

Once the sword is drawn, its aura is powerful and its light is dazzling, capable of slaying enemies.

Yin Zhiping has been nurturing the sword intent within its sheath for three months. When it is unsheathed, it will surely slay powerful opponents. In ordinary times, he is more than capable of using other methods to fight enemies.

However, precisely because it has only been three months, his swordsmanship is not yet perfect, only at the level of Tongxuan. He only needs to hone it in the future to achieve the unity of heaven and man!

"Next—I'll first learn my own palm technique." He set his goal.

Finally, there are the secondary professions of [Massage Therapist] and [Musician]. The Musician is level 6 because he already had a foundation in the profession, and this secondary profession appeared as is, without having been upgraded.

In fact, Yin Zhiping didn't care much about it.

Squeak—

The wooden door was pushed open.

Before anyone was seen, a large millstone opened the door, and Yin Zhiping raised an eyebrow.

It turned out to be Wu Sanniang, carrying a tray of food in each hand. The old monk at the door had stopped guarding it two months ago, so she had to pry the door open with her buttocks.

"Wow! You're here so early today," Yin Zhiping said with a smile.

Wu Sanniang wore a light green dress. Although her waist was not slender, it had a smooth curve. Her face was radiant and her lips were smiling.

"They played late yesterday, so they must be hungry. I made extra food this morning and brought it over early."

For the past three months, Wu Sanniang has been feeding the family twice a day, always on time, which has made them all quite well-fed.

The food was served, and it was all delicious, filling Yin Zhiping with joy.

"Thank you, thank you." Yin Zhiping picked up his chopsticks and smiled, "You've spoiled my appetite lately. I don't know how sad I'll be if I can't eat your food after I come down the mountain."

Wu Sanniang felt a warmth spread through her heart and said with a smile, "Then we won't go down the mountain. You can stay on the mountain and I will bring you food every day."

Yin Zhiping said, "We can't keep bothering Master Yideng. We'll be leaving soon."

"Are you leaving?"

Wu Sanniang was startled: "What—why are you suddenly saying you're leaving? Haven't you been living on the mountain all this time?"

Yin Zhiping said, "Master Yideng told me to wait until my inner demons were completely gone. Now that I have reformed, I should naturally go down the mountain to punish evil and promote good, and to uphold justice."

[You just spout nonsense!]

Shut up, you damn system!

Wu Sanniang felt empty inside. She wanted to persuade her again, but felt it was inappropriate and felt very uncomfortable.

Finally, he could only say, "If you, Sword Immortal, are about to leave, I hope you will visit my home before you go. I will treat you to a proper meal."

Yin Zhiping said, "Your wife thinks I abducted He Yuanjun. If I went there, wouldn't she want to fight me to the death?"

Wu Sanniang said, "I'll just send him away—ah, no—"

Her pretty face flushed slightly, she bit her red lips, and lowered her head without saying a word.

Once the words were out, I realized they didn't quite sound right.

Yin Zhiping smiled.

The atmosphere was somewhat awkward. Wu Sanniang rubbed the hem of her clothes, thinking that if Yin Zhiping left, she would have to return to her previous lonely and miserable life, and she couldn't help but feel empty inside.

For the past three months, although I have spoken very little to Yin Zhiping each day, and sometimes we only exchange glances for an entire day, I have always felt content.

But once he left—

Wu San Niang sighed softly, but didn't know what to say.

While eating, Yin Zhiping asked, "Why are you sighing?"

Wu Sanniang said, "Yes—I'm afraid I won't be able to see Huazheng and Mochou again. They are all lovely children, and I like them very much. You are going to be separated by mountains and rivers, and I don't know when we will meet again."

Yin Zhiping said, "Why don't we take advantage of these few days while they're still here and say everything we want to say and do everything we want to do?"

"this----"

Wu San Niang was immediately embarrassed.

What I want to say — What I want to do —

There are so many, and every single one of them is something you can only think about, not do.

She said bitterly, "That's how it is. Many things are beyond human control."

Yin Zhiping nodded, put some food in her bowl, and said with a smile, "Then let's wait for them to wake up later, eat more together, and have a good chat."

Wu San Niang felt a surge of tenderness from Yin Zhiping, and her heart filled with sweetness. She nodded earnestly, thinking that she was truly fortunate to receive such care.

She picked up the rice and vegetables from her bowl, took a bite, and found the sweet and sour vegetables to be as sweet as honey, seeping into her lungs and heart, and before she knew it, her eyes had reddened.

"What's wrong?" Yin Zhiping asked.

"Nothing—it's nothing." Wu Sanniang took a deep breath to calm herself.

She suddenly realized it was impolite for Yin Zhiping to serve her food; could it be—could it be that he also felt something for her—

After thinking about it, Wu Sanniang shook her head and thought it was impossible. She thought to herself that he was probably just that kind of person, always showing kindness everywhere, but actually having no other intentions.

I only regret that I was born ten years too early.

Just then!

Suddenly, a burly man burst in from outside. He had a scraggly beard, disheveled hair, and looked like a madman.

He jumped in and pointed at Wu Sanniang, yelling, "You bitch! You're a whore!"

"I knew you were always out at home! You said you were bringing food to A-Yuan, but it turns out you were here having a tryst with this scoundrel!"

"No wonder she dresses more and more extravagantly every day, and takes so many showers!"

"I kill you!"

As he spoke, the man raised his palm and struck; it was none other than Wu Santong!

His face turned green with rage, and he was gesticulating wildly, furious beyond control.

Wu Sanniang was startled and immediately felt so ashamed that she didn't know where to hide.

Yin Zhiping's murderous intent was revealed; even if he had to give up those rewards, he wanted to find peace of mind.

"Three links!"

Just then, a figure rushed over and blocked Wu Santong's path, catching his palm strike.

"Master!" Wu Santong burst into tears, knelt on the ground, and said, "Master, I—how can I still have the face to live in this world? He took Ayuan away, and now he's taking my wife away too!"

Master Yideng sighed and said, "Why do you have to do this? The rise and fall of the tides are beyond human control."

Wu Santong: "I am a human being!!!"

Yin Zhiping remained seated: "You're not human. A human wouldn't fall in love with their adopted daughter."

"You—!" Wu Santong was furious.

Master Yideng said, "Santong, Layman Yin has been in the temple for three months, and his demonic energy has gradually subsided. If you reignite his inner fire, I will not be able to protect you, and the world will have one more demon. Do you want to cause chaos and suffering to the people of the martial world?"

Wu Santong felt wronged. How could his own master also side with that lecherous thief?

Yin Zhiping said, "Master Yideng, I spared him last time out of respect for you, so I will spare him again this time. But this is the third time, and that's all."

Master Yideng bowed and said, "This humble monk understands."

As he spoke, he grabbed Wu Santong by the back of the collar and dragged him out of the courtyard. As he left, Wu Santong called out, "A-Yuan! A-Yuan! Come out and see your father!"

A cold glint flashed in Yin Zhiping's eyes as he thought to himself, "How can I let him live? I can cripple someone even if I don't kill him, and I can make someone kill me even if I don't kill him."

If this person isn't killed, he won't be at peace and might even develop inner demons.

The commotion drew all the women inside to come out, asking what was going on.

Upon hearing Wu Santong's voice, He Yuanjun immediately cried out, "I can't stay here anymore! I can't stay in Dali anymore! Take me away! I have no face to live anymore!"

Hua Zheng and Li Mochou quickly stepped forward to comfort her.

Wu San Niang could no longer stand. She hurriedly took out the food from the steamer one by one, picked up the steamer, and was about to go out.

As she passed by Yin Zhiping, the scent emanating from him made her already uneasy heart even more flustered.

She thought she might never see him again, her mind in turmoil. She thought that even just this once would be good, and so, as if possessed, she leaned against Yin Zhiping.
