Country Maiden: Fields and Fortune

467, Martial Arts Contest (1 Update)

Dugu Zhen laughed, “You stinky girl, take this!”

He thought Xie Zhinuan knew some martial arts and might be somewhat formidable, but he had not expected that when the bamboo pole in her hand swept toward him, it was sharper than a sword; thankfully, due to his own martial arts prowess, he was able to dodge quickly.

After three moves, Dugu Zhen held nothing back and began to spar with Xie Zhinuan in the backyard.

As expected of a fight between masters, every move was lethal. Auntie Chen and Grandma Chen didn’t understand martial arts well and feared Dugu Zhen might injure Xie Zhinuan.

Xie Yi, however, watched with great interest.

His mother’s martial arts were so powerful that he, too, wanted to learn martial arts, hoping one day to spar with his mother.

Silly Girl and Mute Uncle watched with their blood boiling.

So this was a clash between true masters.

A genuine battle between top-notch fighters looked like this.

In the beginning, Xie Zhinuan couldn’t control her Inner Strength; it was too deep at one moment and too shallow the next, and her moves lacked a set pattern. However, after trading dozens of moves with Dugu Zhen, she gradually grasped the knack, her eyes growing increasingly bright.

Dugu Zhen noticed the changes in Xie Zhinuan and, while feeling sentimental, he also felt a measure of relief. This girl didn’t need his protection, nor did she need anyone else’s protection; she could protect herself on her own.

After a hundred moves, the two gradually hit their stride. They were only sparring without any killing moves, and Dugu Zhen was even more so playing the role of a training partner, allowing Xie Zhinuan to master how to utilize Inner Strength and control it at will.

After all, he was well aware that if Xie Zhinuan were to release all her Inner Strength, he wouldn’t be able to withstand it.

This girl’s Inner Strength was likely unmatched in the world today.

After two hundred moves, Dugu Zhen called out, “That’s enough, that’s enough, I concede!”

Xie Zhinuan ceased her attack and stood to the side.

The wind arose, stirring her clothes; indeed, she looked like a stunning beauty, unparalleled in this world.@@novelbin@@

This beautiful gem, who knew which lucky rascal would be able to coax her home.

Dugu Zhen stood to the side, exhaling a breath.

“Satisfying!”

He didn’t know when it started, maybe since he last truly exerted himself, perhaps on the day when he saw through the mortal world, or maybe it was the day his wife passed away. The bout with Xie Zhinuan today was extremely refreshing.

Especially as his body had no concealed injuries or chronic diseases.

He felt as though his physical condition had returned to its peak when he was in his thirties.

“Speak, what would you have me do?” Dugu Zhen said.

Xie Zhinuan threw aside the bamboo pole and brought Xie Yi in front of Dugu Zhen, “This is my son, Xie Yi. Master Dugu has seen him before. Could you see if there’s anything wrong with him?”

Although she understood medicine, she wasn’t exactly outstanding at it.

Dugu Zhen furrowed his brows, “The child has rosy lips and white teeth, obviously well-nurtured, there doesn’t seem to be any problem!”

But he still took Xie Yi’s pulse.

Soon enough, he understood, “So that’s how it is!”

The Eunuch curse.

But it seemed to have already improved.

“Take him to the house; I will examine him thoroughly!”

“Okay!” Xie Zhinuan quickly agreed.

Thinking Manager Chen might be leaving soon, “Silly Girl, go send off Manager Chen, and while you’re at it, see if the kitchen has any pastries or such. Pack some for him to take back, and also prepare a batch for him to deliver to Xiaoyuan’s family!”

“Yes!”

Silly Girl agreed and left.

Xie Zhinuan carried Xie Yi into the house and took off his pants.

Ever since Xie Yi had come to the house, he had never worn split pants.

As for the reason, Xie Zhinuan understood, as did Auntie Chen and Grandma Chen.

They hadn’t taken the medicine pills, storing them for Xie Yi’s future.

They also knew that once Xie Yi was older, Xie Zhinuan would certainly give them to him, but they just wanted to do something for this poor child in the meantime.

After examining Xie Yi for a while, Dugu Zhen said, “Have you fed him anything?”

Xie Zhinuan nodded.

Whenever Xie Yi slept with her at night, she would always feed him a little Spiritual Spring Water.
