Chapter 39: The Virgin Prodigy
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“Brother Mu, today is your 18th birthday. I got this dagger for you.”
“It may look ordinary, but my father treasures it! It seems to have been forged by a famous craftsman.
“I spent a lot of effort to get it from him.”
A young man and woman were sitting side by side on the ridge.
The slim and elegant young girl took out a short knife that glowed with a cold light and gave it to the person she liked.
The young man was tall and handsome.
However, he did not seem to be very bright. After taking the short knife, he only laughed foolishly and said nothing.
Liu Leqing’s smile only widened.
Although others said that Su Mu was a fool, she always knew that he was not stupid. He just saw the world differently.
Perhaps one day, he would be smarter than others!
“Brother Mu, let’s go back. Otherwise, Father will be worried again. Recently, Jizhou has not been peaceful. ”
Liu Leqing extended her hand to Su Mu, ready to take him home.
Liu Leqing was already 17 years old this year, but she was still single because of this silly boy in front of her.
Liu Gaotian had lost his temper countless times over this matter.
Liu Leqing looked frail, but she was extremely stubborn. Once she decided on something, no one could change her mind.
Liu Gaotian was at his wit’s end.
But Liu Gaotian would never agree to let his daughter marry an idiot.
This matter came to a deadlock.
…
Thinking of this, Liu Leqing could not help but be a little distracted.
When she came back to her senses, she realized that Su Mu had not given her his hand.
This had never happened before.
“Eh? Brother Mu, give me your hand. We should go back. ”
Liu Leqing called out to him again.
But to her surprise, Su Mu suddenly raised his head and smiled at her.
“You can go back first. I still have something to do.”
This sentence made Liu Leqing freeze on the spot. Her eyes were filled with shock.
18 years.
For 18 years, Su Mu had not uttered a single word!
These were the first words he said in his life.
But his tone, his expression. His vocalization. How was it like those of a simpleton?
After being stunned for several moments, Liu Leqing finally spoke with a trembling voice.
“B-brother Mu, y-you … You!”
Liu Leqing was so excited that she could not even complete a sentence.
Su Mu knew what she was going to ask and gently nodded.
“Yes, my eyes have been opened. A fog has been lifted over my mind. Thank you for taking care of me all these years. ”
Hearing this, Liu Leqing’s eyes were filled with tears of excitement. She flew into Su Mu’s arms.
“Wuwuwu… I knew it, I knew you weren’t an idiot. I’ve been waiting for this day for so long, wuwuwu …”
…
While he looked at the girl who was crying in his arms, Su Mu smiled helplessly and patted her back to calm her down.
For 18 years, Su Mu had endured it!
The moment he turned eighteen, his mind that was sealed within his body was finally liberated, and he regained control over this body.
At the same time, Su Mu’s basic attributes doubled!
[Host: Su Mu]
[Physique: 12]
[Intelligence: 6]
[Vitality: 8]
Su Mu’s original attributes had already exceeded that of ordinary people by a small margin.
Now that it had doubled, he had become a genius!
He calculated the time. There were still seven months before the Great Famine in Jizhou.
Su Mu had to hurry up and increase his strength.
He had absolutely no martial arts skills at the moment.
Time waited for no one!
…
As he thought of this, Su Mu tried to comfort Liu Leqing.
After she stopped crying, he persuaded her to go back.
However, no matter what Su Mu said, Liu Leqing was not willing to leave him.
She would either stay with him or leave together.
Helplessly, Su Mu could only start to practice martial arts under Liu Leqing’s gaze.
He had practiced martial arts several times in his previous life, and he had already reached the first few realms of martial arts.
In the field, Su Mu got into a fighting stance and slowly performed a set of moves from the Mountain Quaking Fist.
This set of fist techniques that were commonly seen in the army had earned a tender place in Su Mu’s heart.
Liu Leqing could vaguely feel that Su Mu’s Mountain Quaking Fist was different from the others’, but she couldn’t tell what the difference was.
If Liu Gaotian was here, he would have discovered that Su Mu had already cultivated the Mountain Quaking Fist to an exemplary degree of mastery, and had even comprehended his own fist technique.
Su Mu could be called a master!
…
Su Mu practiced until dusk.
In just one day, the innate Qi in his body had grown three times stronger, and was constantly nourishing his body!
At this rate, Su Mu would become a third-rate warrior within a month.
This speed, if it were to be known, would probably make countless people’s jaws drop!
Even Su Mu believed that it was too fast.
“Strange, even if my attributes have been doubled, I shouldn’t be making such rapid progress, right?”
“What’s the problem?”
Feeling that something was wrong, Su Mu once again went through the motions of the moveset.
He noticed that [Tiangang] was actually lighting up!
“Does this talent increase my cultivation speed?”
Su Mu was a little surprised.
After thinking about it carefully, he felt relieved.
He was practically a virgin prodigy!
Without any women to distract him, wasn’t it expected to give him the clarity of mind to focus on his martial arts?
This was what it meant to be single!
…
“Brother Mu, you’re improving so fast!”
Liu Leqing didn’t know that Su Mu was destined to be alone in this life. Her plan had been in vain.
“It’s just alright. It’s getting late, let’s go back.”
Su Mu lightly replied, neither arrogantly nor impatiently.
“En!”
Liu Leqing nodded. As usual, she held Su Mu’s hand and skipped toward the military camp. The braids on her head were swinging.
This little girl also practiced martial arts, but her talent was average. After practicing for so many years, she had only advanced to third-rate.
She could only vaguely feel that Su Mu’s progress was a little too rapid.
However, she did not know exactly how fast it was.
When he saw Liu Leqing’s face brimming with a happy smile, Su Mu couldn’t help but sigh in his heart.
How could he not know what this little girl was thinking? But they were destined to be impossible.
[Tiangang] was just the beginning of their hurdles.
The Great Famine in a few months would turn Jizhou into a land of death!
Furthermore, the Beiling Prince was still refining zombies in hiding. No one knew what he was planning.
It wouldn’t be long before Jizhou would be turned upside down and humans and ghosts would be indistinguishable.
If he wanted to live, he had to increase his strength as quickly as possible!
Where would they find the time and environment to talk about love?
…
On the way home, the sun set, and darkness gradually engulfed the earth.
As Yin and Yang alternated, everything in the world flickered, making it impossible for true faces to be seen.
Su Mu looked into the distance, his eyes deep in thought.
In this life, he wanted to open up a path of survival in the darkness!
