Chapter 73: Chapter 74: The Little Girl’s Master_l
Translator: 549690339
On the first day of the New Year, the village was bustling from early morning. Wives from each family, children in tow, were going door to door, their joyful laughter echoing in every corner of the village.
Li Xiu’e had prepared seeds, candies and red envelopes in the living room.
Hearing someone enter the yard, she first invited them into the house, stuffing handfuls of seeds and candies into the adults’ pockets, then distributing red envelopes to the children according to their age.
People came and went all morning, and all thirteen families in the village made the rounds. She had distributed all the red envelopes she had prepared in advance.
Weighing the hefty red envelopes in their hands, the joyous wives and mothers-in-law who had come to pay their New Year’s visits were all smiles.
Su Qingluo, being of a young age, played merrily until late into the New Year’s Eve night. Li Xiu’e did not wake her early, letting the child sleep in until late in the morning.
By the time she woke, bathed, and had her so-called breakfast, almost all the visitors had already come and gone.
Feeling quite full, she waddled around the stables in the backyard to digest.
Her sharp ears caught the sounds of punches being thrown in the forest outside the yard. She hauled over a ladder, climbed up onto the courtyard wall and peered out over it.
Upon seeing what was going on, she was greatly entertained.
In the forest outside the courtyard wall, Wang Meng was waving his little fists, making a decent show of practicing martial arts.
Although he was diligent in his practice, his form lacked any semblance of proper technique.
At a glance, it was clear he’d picked up some half-baked skills somewhere. His movements were all flash and no substance.
“That’s wrong, that’s wrong, your punching stance is incorrect.”
Unable to resist, Su Qingluo hopped off the wall, walked into the forest making good use of her short legs.
“Brother Meng, watch closely, this is how you really box!”
Under Wang Meng’s awestruck gaze, she executed a beautiful starting maneuver, then her supple, nimble body began to continuously spin and shift.
Her dexterous hands flipped and spun, whipping up a cyclone that stirred up leaves all around her. As her hands constantly shifted direction, the leaves circulated around her body in continuous rotation.
With a final powerful movement, it was like a celestial maiden scattering flowers. The leaves, carried on a rush of wind, shot in different directions, embedding themselves several inches deep into the tree trunks.
“Sister Qingluo, no, Master, please take me as your apprentice.”
With his mind completely taken by what he had seen, Wang Meng suddenly dropped to his knees in the dirt. His tanned face was filled with sincerity as he abruptly kowtowed to Su Qingluo three times, incredibly solemn.
“Um. ”
Su Qingluo had not at all anticipated his reaction, and was obviously taken aback. Once she regained her composure, she helplessly rubbed her nose. “Brother Meng, do you really have to be so serious?”
With a cute, childish tone, she walked over to Wang Meng with her short legs, extending a small tender arm to try and pull him up.
Alas, Wang Meng was insistent on making her his master, refusing to budge until she accepted.
The idea of a little boy referring to a little girl as his master was quite the amusing thought.
Secretly, Su Qingluo wondered why he was being so serious – it’s not like they were playing house here?!
Unwittingly, she found herself starting to get goosebumps.
Wang Meng’s determination was unlike that of any ordinary person. For a month afterward, he would always find opportunities to implore Su Qingluo to take him as her apprentice.
A month later, the two little ones finally reached an agreement.
Su Qingluo agreed to take Wang Meng as her apprentice, but he could only call her “Master” in private. In front of others, they would still refer to each other as siblings.
Furthermore, Wang Meng was strictly forbidden from spreading the word about Su Qingluo’s formidable skills. If questioned, all he could say was that they were special teachings passed down within the family by his late father.
Having his wish granted, Wang Meng henceforth began to seriously practice martial arts. Under the careful tutelage of Su Qingluo, he made rapid progress.
Recognizing his innate divine strength, Su Qingluo specially forged a pair of Meteor Hammers for him and taught him the sophisticated hammer technique..
