Chapter 38: They'll starve to death
However, Qian Jin was practicing his sword at the time, so Xiaolongnu naturally couldn't go up and disturb him.
After watching for a while, Xiaolongnu became curious and tried to imitate Qian Jin's method, attempting to use different sword moves of the Jade Maiden Sword Technique with both hands.
But after trying for a long time, I found that I couldn't make it as smooth as Qianjin.
So he couldn't help but laugh at himself.
This young master Qian is a martial arts prodigy, which is why he is skilled in such divine techniques. It's not something she could learn by just making a few random moves.
After that, Xiaolongnu stopped thinking about it and focused on watching Qian Jin practice his sword.
She had a profound understanding of the Jade Maiden Sword Technique, so when watching Qian Jin practice the sword, she could clearly feel that Qian Jin made great progress with each repetition of the Jade Maiden Sword Technique.
He couldn't help but admire Qian Jin more and more.
After an unknown amount of time, Qian Jin felt a little tired and stopped practicing his sword. He turned around and saw Xiaolongnu not far away, staring intently at him.
He then smiled slightly and said:
"Miss Long, how is my Jade Maiden Sword Technique progressing?"
Upon hearing this, Little Dragon Girl smiled and said:
"Young Master Qian, I originally thought it would take you a while to fully master this Jade Maiden Sword Technique."
However, it seems that if we rest for the night, we can start practicing the internal energy cultivation of the Jade Maiden Heart Sutra together tomorrow.
Upon hearing this, Qian Jin was overjoyed and said:
"That's wonderful. It's just a pity there are no beds in this stone chamber. If we want to rest, we'll probably have to sleep on the floor."
Upon hearing this, Little Dragon Girl said:
"I want to sleep, but I don't need a bed; all I need is a rope."
However, this skill requires a foundation in my Ancient Tomb Sect's Sparrow-Catching Technique, and since Young Master Qian has never learned this lightness skill, I'm afraid he won't be able to master it.
Upon hearing this, Qian Jin didn't want to sleep on the floor, so he said:
"Is this sparrow-catching skill difficult? Why don't you tell me about it? Maybe after you tell me, I can sleep on the rope like you."
Upon hearing this, Little Dragon Girl said:
"Oh! I completely forgot, you're a martial arts prodigy. You might actually be able to learn this skill of sleeping on ropes in a short time."
After Xiaolongnu finished speaking, she explained the sparrow-catching technique to Qian Jin, and then said:
"Young Master Qian, this Sparrow-Catching Skill is the ultimate lightness skill of my Ancient Tomb Sect. You can practice it by catching sparrows at first."
Unfortunately, there are no sparrows here, so it seems that Young Master Qian cannot practice if he wishes.
Upon hearing this, Qian Jin smiled and said:
"It's alright. I didn't expect that the skill of sleeping on a rope would contain such a powerful lightness skill."
"Or, you could explain it to me a few more times. If I still can't sleep on the rope by then, I'll just sleep on the ground."
Upon hearing this, Little Dragon Girl nodded and said:
"Okay, then I'll explain it to you a few more times."
Previously, Qian Jin exhausted his inner strength to help Xiaolongnu heal her injuries, to the point that he couldn't even walk.
So Xiaolongnu couldn't bear it and let Qian Jin sleep on the ground.
So he very seriously explained the sparrow-catching technique to Qian Jin, over and over again, without stopping at all.
Qian Jin sat next to Xiaolongnu and found her voice gentle and melodious; just listening to it was a pleasure.
Perhaps because he had been healing Xiaolongnu's injuries, he was really tired, so he fell asleep without realizing it as he listened.
Then, his body swayed, and by sheer coincidence, he fell into Xiaolongnu's arms.
"Young Master Qian? Young Master Qian?"
Xiaolongnu was slightly taken aback. She lowered her head and gently called out to Qian Jin twice. Seeing that Qian Jin's eyes were still closed and he was sleeping peacefully, she couldn't help but feel troubled.
She always thought that as long as she tried a little harder, she could teach Qian Jin how to sleep on a rope.
But before Qian Jin could even get the money, the other party had already fallen asleep.
He must have been so exhausted from saving his own life that he fell asleep without realizing it.
Thinking of all this, Xiaolongnu couldn't help but feel a little sorry for Qian Jin, and gently touched his cheek.
After hesitating for a long time, Xiaolongnu still couldn't bear it and put Qian Jin on the ground.
He was already so tired, how could she let him just sleep on the floor like that?
Even for martial artists, sleeping under the open sky and on the ground is not a good idea.
Xiaolongnu leaned against the wall, then looked down at Qianjin in her arms, thinking how wonderful it would be if she could live with Qianjin like this for the rest of her life!
However, on second thought, Young Master Qian is a martial arts prodigy whose future achievements are limitless, and he may even surpass his master and Wang Chongyang.
If he were to live with me in this ancient tomb forever, wouldn't that be ruining his future?
Moreover, Qian Shaoxia is different from her. She grew up in the ancient tomb since childhood, and even though she has always lived here, she does not feel lonely.
But if Qian Shaoxia were to continue living here, he probably wouldn't be able to stand the loneliness after a while.
Most importantly, when her senior sister was chasing her, she claimed that she had to kill one of them, Qian Jin or her.
As a result, Qian Jin willingly died for her without knowing the truth, thus breaking the vow she made.
She no longer needed to live in this ancient tomb for the rest of her life.
But if she were to actually go with Qian Jin to the outside world, Xiaolongnu felt a little scared.
However, Qian Jin had promised Granny Sun that he would take care of her for the rest of her life. If Qian Jin could take care of her, then even if she went to the outside world, it didn't seem like there was anything to be afraid of.
Lost in thought, Little Dragon Girl unknowingly fell asleep.
……
She slept for an unknown amount of time before Xiaolongnu finally woke up.
She opened her eyes and saw that Qian Jin was still fast asleep in her arms. She couldn't help but affectionately stroke Qian Jin's hair.
I thought to myself that Qian Jin must be exhausted, because he slept for so long.
Little Dragon Girl dared not move her body, wanting Qian Jin to sleep a little longer in her arms.
Glug glug!
Unexpectedly, at that moment, both of their stomachs started growling at the same time.
Qian Jin woke up immediately, then quickly got off Xiaolongnu and said:
"It's all my fault. I fell asleep without realizing it yesterday and even fell on top of you, making you suffer all night."
Why didn't you wake me up!
Upon hearing this, Little Dragon Girl felt embarrassed to admit that she couldn't bear to wake Qian Jin, so she said:
"I also fell asleep yesterday, and I just woke up."
"oh."
Qian Jin responded, then looked around and asked again:
"How long did we sleep?"
Upon hearing this, Little Dragon Girl shook her head and said:
"I don't know either.
However, when we hid here, we forgot to bring any food. So if we keep hiding here, although we can escape our senior sister's pursuit, we'll probably starve to death in the end.
