Chapter 92 The New World, Li Mochou
"Cherry blossoms have fallen, spring has departed, butterflies flutter and fly in pairs, their petals like gold dust. Cuckoos cry under the moon in the west of the small building, jade hooks hang from the silk curtains, and melancholy evening smoke descends."
The alley is deserted after the people have left; only the drooping tobacco leaves remain. The incense burner's wick curls idly, like a phoenix, while I hold my silk sash in vain, turning back with lingering regret.
Lin Shiyin stood naked in the sea of flowers, her tone still melancholic, reciting the poem of Li Yu, the last ruler of the Southern Tang Dynasty. Yet, she felt an unprecedented sense of ease. She tightened Wei Wu's belt, carefully fastened a jade pendant, then stepped back, looking at the person opposite her with satisfaction.
Above the sea of flowers, Wei Wu's dark blue hair was parted in the middle and fell over his shoulders. His eyebrows were like unsheathed blades, with two bright and dazzling obsidian stones below them. His nose was high and straight, and his thin lips were slightly curved in a smile. His handsome face contained a touch of bewitching charm.
Wei Wu had practiced many different martial arts styles, which made his body much stronger than when he first arrived. His shoulders were broader than those of an average person, and his majestic physique supported his magnificent purple-red robe embroidered with golden phoenix patterns. A three-inch wide belt was tied around his waist, with a roaring lion's head fastened in the center of the belt, flanked by seven gemstones on each side. A jade pendant hung between the second and third gemstones on the right.
Lin Shiyin thought for a moment, then picked out a long, silver cloak that reached the ground from a wooden box brought from Xingyun Manor. The cloak shimmered like it was adorned with stars. She draped it over Wei Wu, carefully tied the ties, then took two steps back and examined it carefully for a moment before nodding in satisfaction.
At this moment, if you ignore the fact that she is completely naked, she is the epitome of a virtuous wife and loving mother.
"You have a handsome appearance, and this outfit suits you perfectly."
Lin Shiyin placed her hand on Wei Wu's chest with satisfaction, feeling the strong heartbeat under his clothes and skin. Her face turned red, and she said with light tapping of her teeth, "I have entrusted all the affairs of the manor to Xian'er. From today onwards, I will live here. If you really want to, come back sometime and I will change your clothes."
She paused for a moment and said, "Just make sure you have everything ready, so you don't end up in such a sorry state again, having to ask me to save you again."
Wei Wu held her hand and said, "Don't worry, with my abilities, where can't I go?"
After comforting Lin Shiyin, Wei Wu embarked on a new journey.
Fame is something you really can't do without.
Whether it's buying longevity items or elixirs of rejuvenation from shops, each one is more expensive than the last. Even though staying in a secluded paradise could grant immortality, Wei Wu wasn't one to tie people down. He gave each person a longevity item, and once all his relatives and friends had given it away, they could obediently stay in the paradise. That would be more than enough of his kindness.
After the rain, the desolate countryside was filled with the earthy smell of the old forest. It wasn't nauseating, but combined with the dim light and dappled shadows, it gave people an eerie sense of unease.
Fortunately, Wei Wu was quite strong, and following the sound of the flowing water, he made his way out without much trouble.
Surprisingly, a young and beautiful woman was sitting by the babbling spring. Her hair was loose and long, falling over her chest, covering most of her pink and white dress. Her skirt was pulled up to her waist, and her snow-white silk trousers were rolled up past her knees. Her cloud-patterned socks and embroidered shoes were stacked to the side, and her bare feet were splashing in the water, playing happily by herself.
Her jade-like feet rose and fell in the water, teasing the clear spring water. Her round toes had neatly trimmed nails, and her snow-white nails and plump fingertips looked like pearls coated in cream.
The toes were round and smooth, but the feet were slender and long. They were not the three-inch golden lotuses favored by Li Yu, the last ruler of the Southern Tang Dynasty, but they were by no means large and unbound feet. If one were to use an object as a metaphor, Wei Wu would think that these feet were like ice cream, a precious object that needed to be held in one's hands or put in one's mouth and carefully protected.
There was a sword beside the girl, which showed that she knew martial arts.
Perhaps because he had been playing by the woods for a long time and was certain that no one was around, he put his feet in the water, stood up, and bent down to untie his belt.
Wei Wu's lightness skill was already highly developed. While he wouldn't say he moved like a ghost, he was absolutely silent. If he wanted to watch, he could watch the whole thing without making a sound.
However, he had already eaten his fill and didn't have many hidden thoughts in his mind. He was more interested in knowing which world this was.
So he coughed and said, "Don't worry, young lady, there are still people by the river."
"ah!"
The pink butterfly girl was startled and instinctively squatted down in the water. Her body was soaked, and her loose hair was also wet, sticking tightly to her chest, making her feel very uncomfortable.
Her fair face flushed with anger. Her first glance fell on the sword lying on the shore, then she stared intently in the direction of the voice. She subtly moved closer to the bank and asked, "Who goes there, thief?"
Wei Wu chuckled as he walked out of the woods. "If I were a thief, I wouldn't have bothered with you earlier. Once you're completely naked, I'll be like that cowherd, carrying your clothes aside, and even grabbing your sword. Then, when you're frozen unconscious in the water, you'll be completely at my mercy."
The butterfly-shaped girl spat and said, "Judging from your clothes and appearance, you don't seem like a slut, but I never expected your thoughts to be so despicable!"
Wei Wu moved with incredible speed, stepping on the hilt of the sword before the girl could even grasp it. He smiled condescendingly at her astonished gaze: "Now who's down there?"
"I, I—" The pink butterfly girl stared in horror at the spot where Wei Wu had just been, then looked at the person in front of her, feeling as if she had seen a ghost.
There were at least twenty zhang between the two, but they arrived in the blink of an eye.
Could it be a ghost?!
The pink butterfly girl trembled in fright, but seeing Wei Wu's shadow calmed her down considerably. However, she also realized that she had definitely encountered a formidable martial arts master. She immediately withdrew her hand and respectfully bowed, saying, "Li Mochou, a disciple of the Ancient Tomb Sect, greets senior."
May I ask your esteemed name, senior?
Upon hearing Li Mochou's name, Wei Wu noticed her innocent and radiant face, devoid of any ruthlessness, and was momentarily unsure of her identity. He took a half-step back and asked, "Ancient Tomb?"
"The ancient tomb is located in the back of Zhongnan Mountain. Our sect's founder was Lin Chaoying, who was once able to rival Wang Chongyang. However, she was indifferent to fame and fortune and never descended the mountain, so people do not know about the 'ancient tomb' and only know about Quanzhen Sect."
Li Mochou's words were full of admiration for Lin Chaoying and pride in the Ancient Tomb, while also inadvertently revealing Lin Chaoying's considerable strength and showing off her background.
Wei Wu didn't care about that; he was only certain that this place should be the world of The Return of the Condor Heroes. However, considering that the time span between The Return of the Condor Heroes and The Return of the Condor Heroes was not that large, perhaps this place was still in the period of The Return of the Condor Heroes.
He looked down at Li Mochou, who was carefully taking the sword back into her hand, and asked again, "What news has been circulating in the martial arts world lately?"
""
Li Mochou already regarded him as an old monster, but she wasn't sure about the fancy clothes he was wearing, so she said in confusion, "It shouldn't be anything serious, right?"
She stuck out her tongue sheepishly and said, "I just came down from the mountain not long ago."
Wei Wu nodded slightly and said, "Then get dressed and find a place with people to ask around."

"Huh? Me?"
"Being together, having someone to talk to, will at least make it less boring."
