Chapter 43: The mission
Later that day, Leon returned to Quin Xuxu's mountain and was training his new technique in the courtyard. Quin Xuxu had left before he came back so he was the only one at home.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
Leon's body was covered in sweat as he waved his sword, according to the Three Worlds folding art manual.
The essence of this technique was to release three sword waves with a single sword slash.
This would definitely catch the other party off guard if they managed to defend against the first sword wave; what about the second wave and the third wave?
And if, by some luck, they managed to block all three sword waves, just slash at them and send More sword waves!
Since Leon had never gotten the chance to use the sword before, he was not very good at controlling it at first. This had proved a difficulty to his training as unlike fist and palm techniques, he could hurt himself if he controlled the sword wrongly.
But as time went by, Leon soon got used to the sword, and his swings were becoming less rigid, and his wrists moved more fluidly.
"Ha!" Leon let out a low shout as the muscles on his arms bulged and he slashed the sword with so much force that a single sword wave flew out and crashed into the ground, leaving a shallow cut on the ground.
Leon stopped training, panting heavily while returning the sword to its scabbard.
"Not bad, just the first day of training the technique, but I already made progress; looks like I'm not only talented with cultivation but the sword as well." Leon formed a satisfied grin on his face, the words of Bai Quing earlier resounding in his head.
It was the mission that she said the prime disciples had to do.
….
"A town that's under the protection of our sect has been facing the harassment of beasts and bandits; they reported that the bandits have martial artists supporting them, and they can barely fend off the beasts from destroying their properties.
This has caused the town to suffer many losses as people no longer dare to go to work on their fields and shop owners get robbed by bandits frequently.
They have asked us to send help as soon as possible.
With your strengths, it should take you only two days to get there if you only rest at night. Deal with the beasts and the bandits swiftly and return immediately after, the town chief will give you the reward for the mission; you can share it amongst yourselves as you see fit"
…..
"Sigh, and we're to depart tomorrow. I better gather as many exp as possible to last me a week at least" Leon sighed and sat on the open porch in front of his room while thinking of how to get so many exp.
Even farming in the sect by spying on disciples would not get him so many exp points, unless he went to all three sect grounds.
The door to the courtyard was pushed open at this point and Quin Xuxu walked in.
She was dressed beautifully in a long yellow fabric that showed some skin and her black hair was held up by a jade pin.
Their eyes locked and Quin Xuxu instantly blushed before smiling at Leon.
Leon on the other hand, Leon's eyes lit up immediately after seeing Quin Xuxu. The event from last night resurfaced in his mind, and he immediately stood up and sprinted over to her.
" Master! I missed you" he called out with his arms spread sideways in an anticipating hug while his lips stretched out and prepared to kiss her.
Quin Xuxu's smile deepened when she saw this and she slowly lifted one of her hands in front of her.
Paw!
Leon ended up running into Quin Xuxu's outstretched hand and his lips kissing her palm while Quin Xuxu kept her at arm's length.
Leon struggled and tried to push forward but Quin Xuxu's strength was absolute as he wasn't able to move a single step further toward her.
"Come on, at least let me hug you. You look so breathtaking that it would be a crime not to pamper you" Leon stood back and grumbled.
Quin Xuxu giggled at this reaction, she found it cute.
"You're so sweaty, you'll end up ruining my clothes if I allow you to touch me; go wash up first.
And also, don't call me Master when it's just the two of us; it makes me feel awkward about having an affair with my disciple, all right, honey?"
After all, relationships between Master and disciple were forbidden in the martial arts world and were seen as taboo.
"Ok ok, but can I at least give you a kiss? Pretty please?" Leon said with a tone of urgency as he tried to advance toward Quin Xuxu from different directions but the woman was faster and kept blocking him with her palm from all angles.
"You did a lot on me yesterday, still not satisfied? I remembered asking you to be gentle, but see what you caused this morning; I almost got caught by your Senior sister; I think I need to punish you for this," Quin Xuxu said with a cute pout, her face turning bright red as she said this.
Leon scratched his nose in embarrassment but was feeling proud of himself inwardly; not everyone would be able to put a level 7 martial artist in such a condition.
"Hehe, my bad. You were just too mesmerizing yesterday that I couldn't hold back; I'll accept any punishment you have for me," Leon said with a righteous tone while kneeling on one knee in front of Quin Xuxu; his acting made Quin Xuxu giggle again.
His tone sounded righteous, but she obviously picked up the lewd intentions in his words; the brat was expecting some kinky punishment.
Quin Xuxu grinned secretly before saying.
"You'll accept any punishment? Alright, my punishment for not listening to me is that you're not allowed to touch me until you reach the 4th level" She purposely moved her body and caused her breasts to bounce in front of Leon after saying this, intentionally provoking him.
Leon's eyes widened immediately after hearing this and he looked up at her face with watery eyes while going on both knees.
"No, please no! Anything but that!" Leon cried out miserably like someone who had suffered a terrible injustice.
" Fufufu, I was just kidding. Go wash up and come to my room; I heard that you'll be going on a mission tomorrow; I have something for you," Quin Xuxu laughed and said before walking to her room.
Leon stared at her back with stunned eyes, he realized that he had been tricked.
" You, come here!"
He yelled and jumped at her, planning to hug her from behind and educate her not to make such jokes again.
The speed of his jump was very fast, and he was like a blur, but Quin Xuxu was still faster; she stepped to the side and easily avoided Leon's charge.
"Stop playing around, you can't touch me until you wash up," Quin Xuxu said, her tone now serious.
Her expression was akin to that of a mother who was getting a headache from a stubborn lad.
Leon clicked his tongue before picking his body from the ground, his eyes suddenly narrowed at this moment.
This was because a notification from the system had appeared in his mind.
(Ding! Random mission triggered)
