How come the celestial technique I stole is so powerful?!-Chapter 259: Transboundary Silver Beast

The wind raged around him, yet it felt like a gentle spring breeze against his face.

The snow was heavy, yet it seemed like a carpet of fresh flowers.

With a swish, the snow on a nearby large tree fell off as Hu Ya stepped over it and landed on a big stone in front of him: "You really learned the Rejuvenation Skill."

"Yes!"

"Did Ruolan teach you?"

"More or less!"

"Buddy, you’re so sneaky, really quite sneaky..." Hu Ya sighed.

"What does sneaky mean?"

"I said, why did you lure my best friend to the Detective Agency? It turns out you had this plan. But on the other hand, in just half a year, you managed to get my best friend to strip off her underwear. That’s some skill." Hu Ya said.

Strip off her underwear?

Damn!

Hu Ya’s eyes sparkled: "Don’t misunderstand... when I say stripping off her underwear, it’s a metaphor. As an Ancient Martial Inheritor, ancient martial cultivation techniques are basically her last line of defense, akin to underwear... Come on, let’s race to the top of the mountain so I can see the quality of my best friend’s ’underwear’!"

Hu Ya leaped up, the wind and snow moving together.

She was wearing a thick down jacket, looking like a giant panda, but once she started moving, she was like a fierce tiger coming down the mountain.

Her speed was so fast that the strong wind couldn’t keep up.

Her momentum was so fierce, it was like an avalanche.

In fact, if there were avalanche conditions on Tashan, her moves would almost certainly trigger one.

Lin Xiaosu didn’t show off; his speed was always a step behind hers.

His momentum was also not visible.

However, when Hu Ya stopped at the edge of Liu Lin Temple, Lin Xiaosu had arrived five meters behind her on the mountain path.

"I should have thought of it earlier!" Hu Ya exhaled lightly.

"Thought of what?"

"Back in Ning City, the tricks you pulled, a normal person couldn’t possibly do those. Only someone who practiced the Rejuvenation Skill and trained on women a thousand times could have such techniques!"

Lin Xiaosu looked at the sky, the ground, and the person in front of him, uncertain if climbing the mountain today would be a one-way trip to who knows what...

On New Year’s Day, do we really need to make it this intense?

Hu Ya entered the temple: "Dad!"

Second Uncle bounced up: "You’re back?"

"Yes, I came back yesterday. Now I’m here to guard the temple, you go down the mountain quickly, Mom is waiting for you to have another New Year’s Eve dinner..."

"But you’re alone on the mountain..."

"Second Uncle, Happy New Year!" Lin Xiaosu also entered the temple as soon as the five words fell.

Second Uncle’s eyes widened; he looked at Lin Xiaosu, then at his daughter, probably feeling like a thousand alpacas were galloping through his mind...

You brat!

If you didn’t have little Ye at home, I’d definitely be laughing while rolling down the mountain.

But you have little Ye at home.

What is this called?

Two-timing?

Not only are you doing it, but you’re also so blatant about it...

"Dad, it’s okay, with us here, nothing will happen tonight!" Hu Ya said.

Second Uncle took a deep breath: "Alright, just be careful!"

He went down the mountain.

In the wind and snow ahead, he glanced back once more, resolving some of his internal conflicts, figuring tonight... most likely... theoretically... should be generally okay?

After all, it involves the major event of Equatorial Split Sun.

This matter should have nothing to do with romantic escapades.

Equatorial Split Sun, he had predicted it.

Any unforeseen changes, his daughter could handle them.

Clearly, his presence on the mountain was redundant. Although he was stronger than his peers, he couldn’t fight wild boars on the mountain or catch big snakes in the river, overall he was still just an ordinary person, so he would only be a hindrance to them.

Hopefully, what they’re dealing with is really important!

Second Uncle went down the mountain and quickly reached halfway.

The wind was strong, the snow was heavy, Tashan wrapped in layers of snow.

The area was deserted.

Hu Ya seemed normal, opened the pot, shook her head.

Opened the kitchen cabinet, shook her head.

Opened the drawer, shook her head...

"My dad seems to have completely forgotten about New Year’s. There’s only ten kilograms of brown rice, two buckets of flour, three cabbages, and five eggs left in the temple... Luckily, I came prepared!" She reached into her wide down jacket and pulled out a plastic bag.

There was wine, vegetables, and sauce... but no meat!

"You tidy up the kitchen, I’ll get some meat!" Hu Ya said.

As soon as she finished speaking, Hu Ya took off her down jacket, revealing tight clothing underneath.

This tight clothing was not Dragon Armor.

Just ordinary clothes.

Beneath the clothing, her curves were shockingly alluring.

Her full chest captured all of Lin Xiaosu’s attention...

If he wasn’t mistaken, she wasn’t wearing a bra underneath...

In modern society, who doesn’t wear a bra?

Except her, there’s no second person.

Even Yixiang, renowned from the Thousand year old Miao Village, wears a bra...

But she doesn’t wear one.

In this cold wind, as she moved and trembled, she stepped out the door.

Once outside, the snowflakes in the forest behind swirled chaotically, and her figure disappeared in an instant...

Hu Ya is still Hu Ya.

Wherever she goes, she stands out!

In the Mortal World, others wear bras, she doesn’t; that’s different.

Even in Qianlong, others wear Dragon Armor, she doesn’t; that’s different.

Why doesn’t she wear one?

No need to ask, it’s well known!

She claims her body is impervious to blades and bullets, so why would she need Protective Armor?

Wearing the down jacket, she’s the girl next door wishing New Year’s greetings on the first day of the year.

Taking off the down jacket, she’s the super troublemaker disturbing the peace for wild beasts in the forest during the New Year...

Hopefully, the wild beasts in the mountains don’t celebrate the New Year...

Otherwise, they might curse her from the beginning to the end of the year.

Lin Xiaosu tidied up the kitchen, added more firewood, and the room became warmer. He also took off his down jacket.

Just then, a gust of cold wind blew, and Hu Ya returned, carrying three wild rabbits, skinned and cleaned.

A pot was set on the stove, and the wild rabbits were stir-fried with oil and chili, filling the entire temple with a unique aroma.

Hu Ya took out some wine: "Drink a cup?"

"Sure!"

Hu Ya poured each of them a cup.

They clinked their cups: "To this New Year!"

A very traditional drinking toast, and they drank!

The second cup: "To this messed-up era!"

A messed-up era, yes, no problem, they drank.

The third cup: "To the genius in Ning City!"

Damn!

Are you referring to literal meaning or figurative meaning with this "genius"? If you don’t clarify, I won’t drink!

Hu Ya chuckled: "What’s wrong? Ning City is your sensitive topic now? Please... If I’m not sensitive about it, don’t pretend you are..."

"Cough... Let’s drink!"

A bottle of wine was emptied, and the wild rabbit was also finished...

The wind and snow outside were getting stronger, with signs of a blizzard.

Hu Ya sat by the stove, reading a book.

This girl never seriously read a book when she was in school, but after joining Qianlong, she really started to study hard.

Probably because now, reading is different from studying back then.

Now, reading fundamentally equates to learning Skills.

You could say Hu Ya wasn’t good at academics.

But when it came to learning skills, she would never fall behind anyone.

She had read the "Mountain and River Scripture" in Qianlong.

She had read the "Sea Abyss Scripture" at her dad’s temple.

She even had them copied, now part of the collection at Hidden Dragon Bookstore, helping Qianlong members to better understand the Otherworld.

For this book, Qianlong gave her points as a reward.

Coupled with her significant contributions in the Fierce Beast case in Ning City.

She set a new record: the fastest transition from Reserve to official Qianlong member.

Reading helps you progress faster.

So, she came back this time, still reading.

This time, she was reading the "Taoist Book."

The Taoist Book was indeed like clouds and mist to her, the familiar feeling from school days returned, it was dull, it made her sleepy...

"Reading is too boring! Let’s have some fun!"

Lin Xiaosu looked at her with a tooth-aching expression: "Please! Do you know what day it is today?"

"What’s the problem? Does the almanac prohibit having fun on New Year’s Day?"

"Today’s New Year’s Day is different! Not only is fun prohibited, but everything else should also be avoided!" Lin Xiaosu glared at her: "Think carefully, if an unexpected event occurs tonight, how should we handle it?"

"How should we handle it? If they stick their head out, chop their head; if they stick their foot out, chop their foot. With Li Diandian here, what Otherworld scoundrel dares to cross the line?" Her words were full of domineering aura.

However, the flirtatious mood she just displayed also dissipated.

Winter days are short.

Nights in the wind and snow came even faster.

As the sunlight outside faded and the snowflakes took on a dim hue, it signaled the arrival of the night.

On the mountain, wind and snow raged.

At the foot of the mountain, firecrackers went off continuously.

Inside the small room, the stove burned brightly.

But an air of tension had diluted everything.

Including the New Year’s atmosphere, and Hu Ya’s flirtatiousness...

Midnight was approaching!

Hu Ya stood up: "I’m going outside!"

She got up and left.

She didn’t wear her down jacket but had a dagger at her waist.

This dagger was just in her bag earlier, now it’s on her. Lin Xiaosu used his Heavenly Tao Wisdom Eye to observe, it was a Dragon Scale.

But this Dragon Scale was different from usual ones, broader.

Dragon Scales come in various styles...

Some for their sharpness.

Some for their durability.

With Hu Ya’s immense strength, she naturally chose the latter.

This was a little secret she kept from Lin Xiaosu.

But she didn’t know, this little secret wasn’t a secret at all.

Lin Xiaosu knew all her travel routes from home.

Not only did he know her identity, but he also knew her superior was Xue Ying, Qianlong Gold Medal No. 9.

Hu Ya went out, Lin Xiaosu didn’t follow.

He went to the outer room of the temple; this was where Second Uncle meditated for years, where Lin Xiaosu saw an Otherworld beauty sleeping through the Heavenly Window.

Ecliptic change day.

He saw the Heavenly Window here.

Gained the Heavenly Tao Wisdom Eye, Human Tao Orchid Heart, and Heavenly Tao Primordial Spirit.

The mysterious glow that created a different Hu Ya, and a seven or eight feet tall Earth Mother, also emanated from this Heavenly Window.

So, tonight, if there’s any anomaly, would the source of the anomaly also be at this Heavenly Window?

He stared at the Heavenly Window, fully focused.

There was about one minute left until midnight.

Lin Xiaosu concentrated all his attention on the position of the Heavenly Window.

Yet, the Heavenly Window showed no signs of disturbance.

He counted down in his mind...

Midnight arrived!

Suddenly, he seemed to feel a slight tremor...

Just a slight tremor...

There was absolutely no anomaly in front of the Heavenly Window...

Suddenly, a loud shout came from outside: "Die!"

Clang!

It was the sound of metal clashing.

Lin Xiaosu pivoted on his foot, reaching the outside of the temple.

He was surprised to see a silver object struck out by a punch from Hu Ya.

Another metal clang resounded.
