I’ll Be the Male Leads Sister-in-Law-Chapter 574
Chapter 574
Xie Xuanchen endured her crawling speeds for a while, but still couldn’t stand it in the end and forcibly pulled her arm, “Don’t be so tense, relax; just lean your waist forward and use your legs.”
Frightened by the sudden change in speed, Mu Mingtang exclaimed a couple of times. Xie Xuanchen personally instructed her for a long time, but he was losing hope progressively the longer he did, “Look at your leg strength, there’s barely any power in your legs and your waist. I guess it was fortunate that you’re not a man.”
Mu Mingtang didn’t understand his innuendo, so she looked at him with confused eyes, “What does that have to do with anything?”
Xie Xuanchen was used to hanging out in the military camp, which was why he was used to a lot of implied dirty talk. He looked into Mu Mingtang’s clear eyes and blushed, “It’s okay, forget it.”
After he finished speaking, he felt uneasy and turned back with a fierce expression to warn her, “Don’t ask other people about that later!”
Mu Mingtang rode her mare for about half a circle with difficulty. Her back and waist were sore and her whole body didn’t feel right. She wanted to get off the horse, but she didn’t dare to stand up to unmount. She held the horse’s mane tightly, but the more she tried to, the harder it was to get off.
Exhausting the small amount of patience that he had, Xie Xuanchen gripped onto her waist and lifted her off her mare, “Oh my God, your physical fitness is much too poor.”
Mu Mingtang screamed in fear and subconsciously grabbed onto Xie Xuanchen’s clothes. After she stood on the ground, she realized that she was in Xie Xuanchen’s arms and hurriedly stepped back.
Jiang Mingwei saw the two riding horses on the other side from a distance with envy in her eyes. Later, when she saw Xie Xuanchen carrying Mu Mingtang off the horse, she became so jealous that she couldn’t speak.
With a face crafted by the Gods, a noble family background and his skilled prowess in both martial arts and literature— who wouldn’t fancy such a gifted child of the heavens? However, Xie Xuanchen only favored Mu Mingtang.
Afterwards, Mu Mingtang was truly exhausted and refused to ride anymore. Seeing this, Xie Xuanchen could only accompany her to rest.
Mu Mingtang sat on the fence, her red skirt swirling around her like a blooming crabapple. Xie Xuanchen pointed at the weapon rack and said, “Which one do you want to see?”
Mu Mingtang raised her eyebrows. Even if she didn’t know martial arts, at the very least, she knew that it wasn’t easy to practise and master it. Being proficient in all 18 forms of martial arts(1) was just a compliment. Did Xie Xuanchen’s tone mean that she could pick whichever weapon she wanted to see?

(T/N: Refers to the 18 different weapons that martial artists would wield in the ancient eras of China. They were a sword, spear, saber, Chinese halberd, battle-axe, deer-horn knives, hook sword, fork, whip, mace, hammer, talon, trident-halberd, staff, lance, cudgel, crutch, and meteor hammer.)
He was being too confident. Mu Mingtang wanted to embarrass him, so she deliberately pointed to a strange-looking weapon, “What is this?”
Xie Xuanchen looked at what her hand was pointing to and said, “This is a mace.”
Mu Mingtang didn’t even know the name of that strange weapon. She was a little surprised and followed-up with another question, “Have you learned it?”
“Not really, though I had a sparring match with someone a few days ago whose family were mace users. They passed down the weapons and techniques in their family throughout generations, so I fought with him a couple of times and almost got the hang of it.”
