This Lady Is Trying to Kill Me-Chapter 36

Flying Tanglang! (2)

“Uh…” Ye Jingtang thought about it carefully and seemed to be in the wrong. He raised his hands slightly. “Okay, let’s stop arguing and get down to business, shall we?”

Luo Ning bit her lower lip and glared at Ye Jingtang for a moment before sitting down on a chair far away.

Ye Jingtang took out the spoils of war, put them on the table, and first flipped through the booklet. “This should be Lu Jieyun’s lightness skill insights. I will present this to the Prince of Jing tomorrow. Come over and tell me about them first.”

Luo Ning was sitting on the chair coldly and didn’t want to talk to Ye Jingtang. But when she heard this, her eyes flickered, and she suppressed the anger in her heart. She turned around and said, “Lu Jieyun’s lightness skills are the best in the world. This item is a treasure that all Jianghu people dream of. Why are you offering it to the Prince of Jing?”

While flipping through the booklet, Ye Jingtang said casually, “I captured the Wingless Owl, so the entire Black Office will know I have it. Instead of waiting for the Prince of Jing to ask for it, I might as well do her a favor. Besides, it’s just a small booklet. It’s not like I can’t make a copy of it. Don’t you want to save Qiu Tianhe?”

That makes sense…

Luo Ning felt that she was muddle-headed from anger.

Ye Jingtang leaned against the head of the bed and read the booklet. Judging from his appearance, he probably wouldn’t come over to show it to her.

She hesitated for a moment before getting up. She rested her plump butt on the edge of the bed and tilted her head to take a closer look. “These are insights, not a secret manual. They’re a little profound. You have to learn lightness skills first before you can improve yourself according to these insights… I saw that you don’t know any lightness skills today. If you want to learn one, I…”

Luo Ning’s red lips parted slightly. She thought about it and stopped talking. She didn’t seem to want to teach this lustful disciple.

Ye Jingtang looked up and said helplessly, “The Black Office is full of experts. Isn’t it easy for me to learn lightness skills? You promised to teach me one martial arts. If you don’t teach me lightness skills, you have to teach me something else. I think the Fourteen Dappling Cloud Palms is very powerful. You can teach it all to me.”

In your dreams…

The Fourteen Dappling Cloud Palms was a top-notch internal martial arts that Luo Ning had obtained from Void Jade Mountain. It had been created by Daoist Xuanji, who ranked sixth in the world, and was an ultimate technique.

If Ye Jingtang behaved well, she might have taught him in private. But this shameless little thief had taken advantage of her and kissed her. If she handed over her assets, wouldn’t she be a fool?

“I, Luo Ning, am a person of my word. If you want to learn lightness skills, so what if I teach you? But my lightness skills aren’t considered top-notch. I can only bring you to basic mastery. You will have to think about how to improve yourself. With Lu Jieyun’s insights, you should be able to achieve something in the future.”

“No problem.”

Lightness skills were not as simple as running fast. It was a systematic category of martial arts. The ‘movement techniques’ when fighting, the ‘concealment’ when hiding, and the ‘walking on water’ when traveling were all classified as ‘lightness skills’. They were complicated to learn.

Ye Jingtang wasn’t in a hurry. He put down the booklet and took out the Roaring Dragon Chart page to size it up. “Can I copy this?”

Luo Ning was speechless. “If the Roaring Dragon Chart could be copied, I’m afraid anyone who finds a page would immediately find a workshop to print tens of thousands of copies and distribute them to the heroes of Jianghu so that they won’t be hunted down. These pictures can’t be copied, and they’re very mysterious. It’s very difficult to impart them to others like ordinary martial arts. Usually, people will comprehend them themselves after obtaining them.”

Ye Jingtang was slightly surprised. “Heroine Luo, do you know how to practice this thing?”

Luo Ning knew a little bit, but the fact that the Pacifying Heaven Cult Master had a page of the Roaring Dragon Chart was a top secret and couldn’t be spread. With Ye Jingtang’s comprehension ability, it probably wouldn’t take long for him to figure it out.

She said coldly, “How would I know? Think about it yourself.”

Ye Jingtang nodded slightly and sized up the indestructible Roaring Dragon Chart page. “This item is difficult to damage with weapons, and there’s no way to duplicate it, so there’s no way to split the spoils. When I figure out a way, I’ll teach you how to practice it. You have no objections, right?”

?

Luo Ning was stunned. “Rumor has it that after learning the Roaring Dragon Chart, one can dominate the world and become immortal. You little thief, are you willing to teach me?”

Ye Jingtang spread his hands slightly. “Heroine Luo, you and I got it together, but you didn’t even think of taking it for yourself. Do you think I lack morality and will monopolize it? The reason why I’m taking it and not letting you study it is that your comprehension ability is average. You will definitely take longer to study it than me, and it’s easy for it to bring you a fatal disaster.”

“…”

Luo Ning felt that he was looking down on her. But back then, she had indeed spent half a year without eating or sleeping to study the Pacifying Heaven Cult Master’s ‘Beauty-Retaining Picture’, causing the Pacifying Heaven Cult Master to frown.

She wanted to learn this mystical technique, but she didn’t want to fight with this shameless thief for the supreme treasure. So she didn’t continue the conversation. She stood up, walked to the center of the room, and put on the demeanor of a fairy.

“Get up. I’ll teach you lightness skills. When you were young, you practiced long-distance running with heavy weights to build a foundation for lightness skills. It’s just that you don’t know any qi circulation techniques, so you have amazing explosive power, but you can’t run fast or jump high. Learn well. I won’t teach you a second time.”

Ye Jingtang put away the items and got up. He came close to observe seriously.

Seeing that the two of them were done, the bird, who was guarding the window, jumped onto the table and watched eagerly. It probably wanted to see if Tangtang could fly higher than it after practicing.

“The so-called lightness skills are techniques for lightening the body. The ‘rising of qi’ allows one to be as light as a swallow and soundless. And vice versa, the ‘sinking of qi’ allows one to be heavy, which is known as the Thousand Ton Drop in Jianghu. However, it’s impossible for ordinary people to learn both at the same time, and it’s easy for them to suffer qi deviation… If you study hard and practice hard, you should be able to master both at the same time…”

Luo Ning spread her legs apart and placed her fists at her waist, performing a beautiful horse stance while seriously explaining the methods of lightness skills.

Ye Jingtang imitated her and listened carefully. Then…

Fifteen minutes later.

Clatter!

On the rainy night, there was suddenly a commotion on the roof of the inn, and a hole was knocked out.

A handsome man stuck his upper body out from between the tiles. His head was drenched by the heavy rain, and half of his body was still below. His eyes were full of surprise. “This is martial arts…”

The bird flew to the roof and landed on its shoulder. It considerately raised its wings and helped to block the rain. “Chirp, chirp…” It was probably muttering: It’s not as high as me…

In the room, Luo Ning raised her beautiful face and looked at the ‘Flying Tanglang’ who soared into the sky and hung on the roof like a hanged ghost. Her eyes were full of shock and speechlessness. “Why are you using so much strength?”

A few noises came from the inn.

“Guests, it doesn’t matter how much you do it, but please pay for the roof repair tomorrow morning. Otherwise, the inn will report you to the officials…”

“Who is it? Don’t you sleep at night?!”

“You still have the cheek to shout? Look at that room. The roof is breaking down… Hey?! Get up! Don’t pretend to be dead!”
