Chapter 23 - The problem wasn’t big (1/2)
Lin Mu took two steps back and felt that jumping off a building wouldn’t work.
Yan Xuanjing looked at him and looked down at the ground and suddenly realised, “not high enough.”
Lin Mu jolted, and ducked to another side before Yan Xuanjing flew upwards with him, “I’m not jumping!”
The fox spirit watched how nervous Lin Mu was, thought for a bit, and didn’t really mind. He placed down his hand that had just been reaching out and said, “then we’ll not learn flying first?”
Lin Mu felt that compared with breaking his neck, being beaten was quite a good choice.

He nodded, and was grabbed and carried down by Yan Xuanjing.
Because of Yan Xuanjing’s appearance, the four small monsters hidden the corner crowded together. In this dark night, the lights of the yard weren’t on, but these four little non-humans didn’t need lights, and could see everything that was happening in the yard under the moonlight.
Except for Lin Mu, this half-monster.
The moonlight was broken up into pieces by the house and branches, and it was very dark in the yard. The dark colour that Yan Xuanjing wore caused him to be almost blended into the night, and with his fast actions, Lin Mu could only tell which direction the attacks were coming from through fuzzy shadows and subtle winds.
And then, unsurprisingly, he was beaten again.
The four little monsters were shivering in the corner.

Lin Mu laid on the floor and turned over, looked up at the starry dots in the night sky above, and grimaced in pain.
“You’ve improved.” Yan Xuanjing said.
Lin Mu already knew how to use his energy to block attacks — although Yan Xuanjing wasn’t surprised by this. This type of energy that monsters had couldn’t be given any concrete description, only that it was like a ‘energy’ that every monster instinctively used.
Scientifically speaking, it was similar to when humans got attacked, they would instinctively tighten the muscles of the attacked area, an instinctive defense mechanism.
After one had been beaten a lot, and found out that their body alone couldn’t resist, naturally, they would use this monstrous energy when they faced danger.
Yan Xuanjing felt that his teaching method was really rigorous and scientific.

It was a perfect reproduction of the vast majority of monster’s childhood.
That was how everybody had lived, and all grew up safe and sound.
After all, those that weren’t safe were all dead.
Lin Mu thought for a bit and said to Da Hei, “not going?”
Lin Mu looked at the wounds on his body, and didn’t feel as if he had made any progress.
He pouted, “wasn’t it because you went easy on me?”
Yan Xuanjing didn’t respond to Da Hei.
“The last time, I also went easy on you,” Yan Xuanjing said.
Lin Mu laid on the ground like a starfish and stared blankly at the starry sky.
“Not bad, you still can stay conscious and talk to me.” Yan Xuanjing said, realistically. “The last time, you fainted.”
Lin Mu thought with great confidence.
If it wasn’t for the moon essence, Lin Mu would have probably passed out until the next morning.
Lin Mu thought back, and it really was the case.
Since the other party took the initiative to hold, it would be embarassing to pull back.
Not only did he faint, he even felt that he was on the road to the netherworld.
“If you say it like that, it seems so.”
The human who was recording paused, took in a deep breath, and frowned because of the scent, “go up and see.”
Lin Mu was a little happy. He looked at the soft silvery moonlight that shone out clusters and clusters of soft white light one after another, and watched how it floated with the night wind straight to him.
Yan Xuanjing looked at Lin Mu, who soon got wrapped up in moon essence, then raised his head to look up at the sky.
Today, the Milky Way was beautiful, very suitable for stargazing and divination.
Wu Gui looked at the divinatory symbols, slightly frowned, and looked towards the person who was recording and said, “there’s ghost energy present in the divinatory symbols.”
Wu Gui’s side might have been able to get some clues.
Yan Xuanjing looked up for a while, and realised that Lin Mu had got up from the ground, shook his hands and said energetically, “again!”
Four days ago, from five to seven in the afternoon, he was on the phone with Di Wu.
Lin Mu became more and more nervous. Anxiously, he picked at the bark beside him, and with a ‘crack’, broke off a small piece.
Yan Xuanjing turned to look at him.
The group prepared to go out the mountain.
Yan Xuanjing fell back to the end, turned to look at Lin Mu, unblinking.
Lin Mu became extremely cautious as he was watched, thinking that Yan Xuanjing had seen something — he had been in direct contact with Di Wu before, so it wouldn’t be surprising if there was Di Wu’s aura on him.
But Yan Xuanjing stared at him in silence for a long time, and in the end, raised a hand to pat his head that was covered with a hat, and with his calm voice said, “if you’re scared, you can go back.”
Lin Mu was stunned, then let of out slight sigh of relief then shook his head, “it’s okay, I…… still want to go up and see.”
Yan Xuanjing had no opinion.
Lin Mu threw the bark in his hand away and smiled with his lips closed.
The mountain road wasn’t easy to walk on, and the little half-monster was really weak, what if he fell and broke his neck or something?
And this house had already been searched — a great monster like Di Wu, what kind of thing could be available in the Central Plains that would make him kill an entire house then grab their treasure?
The four little monsters in the corner huddled together. They couldn’t bear Lin Mu, who was always getting beaten.
The Ginseng Baby looked at the falling moon essence through his fingers, used his elbows to poke his friends, and quietly said, “this is a good thing. All of you take one each, just one is and not more, or you’ll won’t be able to take it and die.”
The other three little monsters nodded and carefully reached their hands out to take a ball of light.
Yan Xuanjing noticed their movements and paused, turning to glance at them. The little monsters shivered, took the moon essence and retracted their hands, not daring to look up at him as they shrank from his gaze.
Above their heads, the thick branch that Lin Mu had just hit was still swinging gently.
Seeing that they were very restrained and only collected one ball of light, Yan Xuanjing retracted his line of sight, and raised his hand lightly to block Lin Mu’s knee.
This Relaxed Emperor still lacked some means of attack.
Yan Xuanjing held Lin Mu’s wrist, took him by the shoulder, twisted his hand back, and directly flipped Lin Mu to the ground. He expressionlessly aimed at Lin Mu’s soft abdomen, and watched as Lin Mu rolled and didn’t chase after him, simply continuing to ponder by himself about what means of attack a Relaxed Emperor could have.
Yan Xuanjing looked up at Lin Mu, whom he was holding.
After thinking about it, he found out that a Relaxed Emperor was really a rare type of pure support monster.
Yan Xuanjing looked at Lin Mu who got up and rushed at him, and gave up on the idea of figuring out what means of attack a Relaxed Emperor could have.
This problem wasn’t big.
Lin Mu looked down at Yan Xuanjing, who was holding him.
Since by their nature, they didn’t have any claws or fangs, and didn’t have hallucinogens or poisons like other plants, then Lin Mu should get hit a little more first, to get his skin thicker, and to train his speed. In any case, it wouldn’t be wrong.
If one couldn’t win, just bear with it. If one couldn’t bear it, then run.
No matter what, he couldn’t simply taken away by other monsters without fighting back at all.
Yan Xuanjing thought about this, and suddenly started to hit harder.
Lin Mu was beaten from the night to the next morning.
The nine-tailed fox thought so, and then Lin Mu, whom he was holding, made a pained groaned and bent down, covering his head.
The fox spirit was inhuman, and watched as the moon essence heal Lin Mu’s injuries, then continued to give him a vicious beating.
Lin Mu was also stubborn. It wasn’t a problem for him not to sleep for a day or two, and since Yan Xuanjing was free to come and didn’t call it off, he also didn’t want to call it off — especially when he saw that he was gradually able to hold on, instead of having no ability to resist at all. With such obvious progress, Lin Mu would be stupid to take the initiative to stop.
Yan Xuanjing was the one who stopped first.
