Martial Arts Escort System: I Got A Maxed Level Divine Technique From The Beginning

Chapter 243: Chapter 149 Zhen Xiaoxiao_2

“…What are they called?”

“My nickname is Da Li! My full name is Zhen Xiaoxiao!!”

The fatso’s voice boomed like thunder.

Su Mo: “…”

Yang Xiaoyun: “…”

According to your logic, shouldn’t your nickname be Da Li and your full name be Zhen Dali?

Xiao Xiao is already enough to criticize, why add a ’Zhen’?

Of course, it’s fine to critique internally, but it’s not proper to say it to a girl’s face.

He pointed to the deck and said, “Sit down and talk.”

“Okay.”

Zhen Xiaoxiao plopped down on the deck, causing the whole ship to rock once more, prompting the Jiaolong Association’s bandits to look around incessantly.

“Xiao Xiao…”

Su Mo hesitated as he spoke, feeling a bit guilty: “Where did you learn your martial arts from?”

“From my master.”

Zhen Xiaoxiao promptly replied.

“And who is your master?”

Su Mo immediately inquired.

“Master is master!”

Zhen Xiaoxiao’s eyes hinted at confusion: “Who else could master be?”

The slight puzzlement in her eyes seemed to wonder why Su Mo didn’t understand such simple logic.

For a moment, Su Mo found himself at a loss for words.

After thinking, he asked: “Do you know what your master looked like?”

“Hmm…very skinny and short, not much of a beard, as he said I plucked it all off when I was a kid, but I don’t believe it.

“His hair was very white and quite bald, also because of me, he claimed.

“But although he was bad at times, accusing me falsely, I had enough to eat with him.

“He also taught me skills, like mathematics…too bad I couldn’t learn it.

“And then he taught me the Tadpole Skill.”

“The Tadpole Skill?”

Su Mo and Yang Xiaoyun exchanged glances: “What kind of skill is Tadpole Skill?”

“It’s the one I practiced.”

Zhen Xiaoxiao explained: “Master said, once you learn this martial arts, you’ll nurture tadpoles inside your body; these tadpoles get energetic as soon as they eat, and then I get energetic, too. If I don’t eat, the tadpoles get weak, and so do I.

“When cultivating, the tadpoles crawl around inside my body, master said, they’re exercising inside.

“They need to roam the meridians to grow strong and healthy.

“The stronger they get, the more I possess Infinite Strength!”

She spoke with excitement, then lifted the One-legged Copper Man in her hand, waving it through the air, cutting through the wind with a whirring sound.

“I see.”

Su Mo nodded, then asked: “Where has your master gone now?”

“…”

Zhen Xiaoxiao suddenly fell silent, her chubby face drooping slightly, large teardrops plopping down.

“Master died…”

She finally spoke softly: “That winter, he was touched on the Heart Meridian by the Winter Monkey, and they perished together.”

“???”

Both Su Mo and Yang Xiaoyun were quite astonished.

Though some unofficial histories mentioned a variety of strange animals, most were fabricated.

This Winter Monkey was unheard of.

“What is that?”

Su Mo displayed his excellent quality of asking when unsure.

“Winter Monkey is a monster from the winter.”

Zhen Xiaoxiao said earnestly: “Every winter, it suddenly appears and touches someone’s chest. If someone gets touched, they would be so cold they can’t get out of bed for ten days or half a month, their faces turning ashen as if they’re freezing to death.

“Later, master indeed froze to death.”

“Have you ever seen this Winter Monkey?”

Su Mo asked thoughtfully.

“…I haven’t seen it.”

Zhen Xiaoxiao shook her head: “But my master encountered it every winter, always getting touched on the chest.

“And it always appeared on the coldest days of winter.”

She said, sniffling and looking around as if the Winter Monkey might appear at any time.

But soon she relaxed and smiled, saying: “But now it’s okay, master said, he perished alongside the Winter Monkey. Now it can’t hurt anyone anymore… Master was actually a great hero.”

Upon hearing this, both Su Mo and Yang Xiaoyun fully understood.

There was no such thing as a Winter Monkey in the world.

It was just a lie told by Zhen Xiaoxiao’s master.

Presumably, he was injured by an enemy with a cold Inner Strength that damaged his Heart Meridian, causing an outbreak every winter.

Bedridden every outbreak, ten days or half a month at a time.

Finally, he just couldn’t hold on and died from this internal injury.

He made up a story, not wanting Zhen Xiaoxiao to know the truth.

This naive girl believed such a flawed tale.

Su Mo’s gaze towards the girl became complicated.

When her master was alive, she probably didn’t need to rely on her strength to make a living.

Yang Xiaoyun said softly:

“Yes, your master was a great hero.”

“Right? Right!”

Zhen Xiaoxiao immediately nodded: “But my master was not so heroic in some aspects; he was too naggy…

“Even when he was close to dying, fighting with the Winter Monkey, he had so many things to tell me…

“He said I must wear more clothes in winter.

“If it rains, find a shelter.

“When the weather is good, sun the bedding.

“It’s okay if people call me a fatty, but if anyone calls me a dead fatty, I must fight them…

“He told me so many things…

“He said I’m too dumb, but at least I’m strong and can do heavy work.

“But he was wrong; sometimes, even when I did work hard, they still wouldn’t feed me.”
