Chapter 35: Chapter 31: The Momentum Takes Shape (Part 2)
Su Lin grinned mischievously, deliberately pointing at his lips: “Just talking isn’t enough.”
Su Tongxi was teased by him and instantly raised her eyes, her gaze caught his mischievous grin, then she hastily lowered them.
Her fair cheeks seemed dyed by the evening glow, quickly flushing with two alluring blushes.
“Brother Kirin~”
She shyly elongated her tone, adding a bit of coquettish nasal sound, like she was holding an unmeltable piece of honey.
“Hmm—?”
Su Lin also deliberately elongated the tone, looking at her playfully.
Su Tongxi’s long lashes fluttered lightly, shyly taking small steps closer.
Then her soft, boneless body with two curvy mounds entered Su Lin’s embrace, her jade arms wrapped like a water snake around his neck.
The next second, a tender and moist touch akin to a fleeting dragonfly landed on his lips.
Su Lin was fully content.
With an outstretched ape-like arm, he effortlessly hoisted her up like a child with one hand, leaning toward her petite, lovely earlobe, he once again chuckled slyly:
“I’ve eaten Treasure Meat and my training is complete, today my body is totally not tired…”
Su Tongxi instantly understood, her face flushing red and scorching as she burrowed into his neck, let out a cat-like whimper, nearly fainting from embarrassment.
…
Meanwhile, Zhao Zhu, knowing he’d caused trouble, spent a day in fear, bustling around the village, pawning pots and scrambling for funds, finally, by evening, he had gathered the critical three pounds of meat.
He had just wiped the anxious sweat from his forehead when his neighbor Zhang Chenxin approached, his shifty eyes staring straight at the meat bag in Zhao Zhu’s hand, his Adam’s apple moving as he swallowed before speaking sarcastically:
“Hey! Column Column! Are you really going to give that meat to Su Lin?”
Zhao Zhu, seeing him, felt his anger rise promptly:
“Scram, scram, scram! If it weren’t for your blabbermouth, would I be in this mess?!”
“Hey! What does this have to do with me?” Zhang Chenxin said, stiffening his neck.
“Even if it doesn’t, get lost!”
Zhao Zhu, having lost a fortune today, was in a foul mood, only wanting to kick this annoying guy away.
Zhang Chenxin, however, clung to him like a sticky plaster, still muttering:
“I’m saying this for your own good! Think about it, does Su Lin still care about your meat? Besides, odds are he’ll be finished by tonight! You send it over now, isn’t it like throwing a bun to a dog, never to return?”
“Go fuck yourself! You stupid dog! Didn’t you hear me say scram?”
Zhao Zhu’s pent-up rage suddenly exploded, he kicked Zhang Chenxin’s behind hard, “I’m going to deliver the meat now and pray to God he’d stay alive! If he really croaks, Old Su would be the first to take it out on me!”
Shoving away the clueless fellow, Zhao Zhu grabbed the heavy bags of meat, jogging all the way to Su Lin’s house, he knocked on the door breathlessly.
The door opened, Su Lin’s figure appeared at the entrance, eyebrows slightly raised.
Zhao Zhu opened his mouth, looking at the young man whose aura seemed different than before, he was at a loss for words, just dumbly standing at the door, tightly clutching the meat bag.
After a while, he stuttered out a few words:
“Master Lin, Lin… I… I brought meat for you…”
Su Lin didn’t say much, reached out to take the meat, nodded nonchalantly:
“Alright, this matter is settled.”
With that said, he slammed the door shut.
This morning’s uproar by the villagers, Su Lin had already heard from Hou Yong about it.
He was reluctant to pursue Zhao Zhu; without him, Chang Sanheng could easily have used someone else.
Among those furious in the crowd earlier, who knows if there were people instigated by the Chang Family to stir up trouble.
Otherwise, why would so many villagers suddenly storm his house like they were pumped with adrenaline?
Later, Liu Jun, the old master, personally brought over the cooked Treasure Meat for dinner, exchanged a few pleasantries and left.
With the three pounds of regular meat sent by Zhao Zhu and the precious Treasure Meat, Su Lin’s dinner became a feast.
Su Lin pondered for a moment and asked Su Tongxi, “Tongxi, how far along are you with the Breathing Technique?”
Su Tongxi’s un-faded blush made her exceptionally cute, upon hearing his question, she quickly suppressed her shyness and softly replied:
“Brother Kirin, I seldom practiced the Breathing Technique before, it’s too consumptive in terms of food. Now my Qi and Blood… barely touching the threshold of Skin Lock.”
Upon hearing this, Su Lin’s eyebrows raised in surprise.
Who would have guessed that his seemingly innocent, sweet-tempered fiancée was on par with him after having eaten Treasure Meat once?!
There’s nothing more to hesitate about.
Su Lin directly handed the three pounds of regular meat to her, his tone carrying an indisputable order:
“Alright, this meat is yours for the next few days. Starting today, practice the Breathing Technique with me! In defending this home, both of us must stand firm. You can’t be much weaker than me, or I’ll have to divert my attention to protect you.”
With a few words, he blocked the refusal Su Tongxi was about to voice.
Looking into Su Lin’s steadfast eyes, a warmth surged in her heart, she nodded earnestly, and turned around to prepare in the kitchen, clutching the meat.
Su Lin never intended to share the Treasure Meat with her.
In his mind, whether hunting or defending the home, he was the absolute main force and core.
Training Tongxi in martial arts was more for her self-defense in potential crises, not for fighting side by side.
In essence, Su Lin embodied a strong male chauvinism and a protective instinct.
After dinner, Su Lin absorbed the active elements of Treasure Meat, again immersed himself in the Breathing Technique training.
Only when night fell completely, swallowing the last trace of sunlight, did he halt his training, step outside, and begin constructing the last two mechanisms.
After upgrading the Level 2 Safe House, the walls on either side of the door were no longer entirely occupied by impact walls, freeing up space.
From the four new trap blueprints, Su Lin only chose the Arrow Wall, similar to those of his grandpa and second uncle’s house.
Costing two silver coins, it must be pricey for a reason.
Even Grandpa’s Level 4 Safe House used these traps, their effect definitely wasn’t ordinary.
The construction shadow of the Arrow Wall appeared at the chosen wall location.
Su Lin adjusted the angle, ensuring the firing range covered the front area, confirmed the command.
Buzz!
A soft white light flashed, the wall seemed to come alive, its material warped, its size expanded rapidly like a sponge soaking up water, blinking it covered half the wall, sharing dominance with the adjacent impact wall.
The already dense shooting holes not only doubled in number but their caliber also expanded by more than double!
At a glance, it resembled a steel fortress, bristling with small cannon mouths, exuding an intimidating, oppressive aura.
Simultaneously, the construction platform’s information also fed into the house title deed:
The Arrow Wall boasts high attack, wide range, and versatile use, a kind of all-purpose defense mechanism.
The only “drawback” is that each time a barrage of arrows fires, it needs a copper coin to replenish.
But with the “King of the Garbage Can” entry’s enhancement, it’s comprehensive!
The current Arrow Wall’s power has been increased tenfold while energy consumption dropped to one-tenth!
This means firing ten rounds of powerful arrow rain only consumes one copper coin!
It’s like mocking the law of conservation of energy.
With tenfold acceleration in construction, Su Lin quickly finished both sides’ arrow walls.
Thus.
Everything gained today was fully absorbed by Su Lin, transforming into his defensive strength.
Whether it was individual strength or safe houses, he comprehensively enhanced a big wave.
The light cavalry awaits with snow filling the bow and knife.
The momentum is set.
He’s ready to draw his sword towards wherever it points!
