394. Chapter 394 Willing to do everything for you 【04】
Now Shen Mingzhu's soft body was leaning in his arms, and her fragrance was like orchid, more alluring than the top-quality silver. He didn't dare to move at all, for fear of offending the girl.
Shen Mingzhu stood up quickly, pouted, snatched the acupoint mallet away, and glanced at him, "Master, that's a bit too much."
Xiao Xian chuckled, "Sorry, it was just a joke."
However, Shen Mingzhu took the hammer and beat it on her body like a treasure, and then talked to Xiao Xian, asking where the things came from.
Xiao Xian told her that it was actually found in the Xichen Kingdom that had been destroyed.
Wuji Mountain in the West Chen State is a vast dense forest, in which lives a mysterious clan. They have always lived in the dense forest and do not like to come outside.
"No wonder such a small mallet costs three thousand taels of silver. Just listening to what they said, I feel that this thing has a high price but no market."
Such a treasure cannot be bought with money.
Shen Mingzhu smiled slightly, "Master, are you bragging? Others can't buy it with money, but you still got it."
Xiao Xian lifted the corner of his robe, sat down on the stone bench nearby, took the mallet from her hand, and tapped her shoulders and back repeatedly, as if he was born to do this.
Even though it’s the first time, it’s not unfamiliar at all.
This is naturally related to his learning of martial arts and acupoint recognition.
Shen Mingzhu felt very comfortable and did not refuse. Xiao Xian said behind her: "It's not easy for me either. It took a lot of effort to find it."
He didn't boast or take credit, he just stated the facts.
Shen Mingzhu likes him like this. He is genuine and will never be disappointed as a comrade-in-arms or partner.
The two of them talked while knocking, talking about the origin of the mallet and then about the hound.
Xiao Xian was surprised and said: "That is a very ferocious breed. It is fed with living animals. If you can kill it, I have to doubt your skill."
Shen Mingzhu chuckled, "I don't have the skills, why can't you try it out?"
Xiao Xian said sternly: "That's why I'm surprised. How could I easily kill that hound if I didn't have internal strength? That was not an ordinary hound, but one specially raised and trained."
When he said this, Shen Mingzhu also remembered something. She didn't hide it and said, "Could someone be helping me secretly?"
She then told the story about how someone beat the hound away that day, and then looked at him and said, "If Wen Songzhi hadn't told you to leave the capital, I would have suspected it was you."
Xiao Xian shook his head, "Of course it's not me. If it were me, how could I not ask for a thank you gift from you?"
Shen Mingzhu was surprised, who it was, she remembered it, and immediately asked Fangqing to get the small box.
Soon, she handed the date core in the wooden box to Xiao Xian, "Look at this."
Xiao Xian listened to her description, looked at the peach core again, and thought for a moment.
He said: "This season, there are no fresh peaches to eat. But this peach stone looks very clean. It doesn't look like a fresh peach. It seems like this peach stone is what this person is wearing."
The peach core is just an ordinary peach core, but it has no holes, so it shouldn't be an ornament.
But among ordinary people, who would carry peach stones with them?
Xiao Xian couldn't figure it out for a while.
Shen Mingzhu said: "Forget it, thinking about it gives me a headache."
She wanted to ask about Xiao Xian's family affairs, but she was afraid that he would be suspicious, and it was not a good idea after all.
****Guess who that person is! Hoho!
I have been failing to post a post today, and I don’t know if you guys can see it. I’m so anxious.
