The Legend of the Condor Heroes: From Being Expelled from Peach Blossom Island

Chapter 233 Girls Should Be Raised in Abundance

Upon hearing the word "gift," Xiao Mochou's eyes widened. She genuinely believed that the delicious food she had just eaten was a gift from Wu Chengyu, and she was already quite content. She didn't think much of it, nor dared to. A little girl who had lived in an ancient tomb since childhood was missing out on many things she should have.

"Is there really a gift? You bad brother Chengyu, apart from the cloth tiger that Granny Sun sewed for me, Mochou has never received a gift."

Wu Chengyu smiled and patted Xiao Mochou's head. Xiao Mochou wanted to dodge, but for the sake of the gift, she forced herself not to pull her head back. This was the first time in her life that she had come into contact with a man, and she felt strange, but not uncomfortable.

Wu Chengyu first pulled a burlap sack from behind him. The sack seemed to contain many things, but it made no sound.

He handed the sack to Xiao Mochou: "Open it and see for yourself."

Xiao Mochou took the sack and saw that it was full of sparrows, but each one had its eyes closed and was completely still.

Little Mochou immediately burst into tears again, crying out "Wu Chengyu!"

"You bad person, you caught so many sparrows again. They're all dead. How am I supposed to practice my skills now? Are there no sparrows left in the entire Zhongnan Mountain?"

Wu Chengyu found it amusing. He had met Xiao Mochou four times, and each time he had made her cry. She was nothing like the cold and ruthless Red Serpent Fairy she later became.

"Don't cry. These sparrows aren't dead. I caught them, put them in a sack, and drugged them. They'll wake up in an hour. Take them back to the Tomb of the Living Dead, lock them in a stone chamber, and release as many as you need when you practice your skills."

There are eighty-one here in total, enough for you to master the Heavenly Net Formation.

"Really? That's great! Master said that I need to catch eighty-one sparrows to complete the training. I thought it would take a long time, especially since you came. I haven't caught a single sparrow since then."

Thank you, Brother Chengyu, you bad guy. But what is this sleeping potion? Does it taste good?
And how did you know about the intricate network of our Tomb of the Living Dead?

Wu Chengyu was stumped by the question, but he could simply choose not to answer it if it was difficult to answer.

He immediately changed the subject: "This is the first gift, do you like it?"

As expected, Xiao Mochou forgot about the question from earlier and nodded quickly, saying, "I love it so much! Now Mochou doesn't have to catch sparrows every day anymore. I have to lie on the ground for a long time, and I've been bitten by bugs several times."

Wu Chengyu then took out a wooden box from behind him and opened it in front of Xiao Mochou, whose mouth immediately gaped open.

The box contained jewelry that Wu Chengyu had specially purchased after leaving the mountain. Of course, the money came from several corrupt officials in nearby cities. After all, a great hero doesn't engage in production, so where would the money come from?
He bought the most beautiful and exquisite jewelry from the city's jewelry stores at a high price. The wooden box contained more than a dozen items, including gold hairpins, jade hairpins, butterfly hairpins, pearl hairpins, gold hair ornaments, earrings, bracelets, jade pendants, etc., all of which were top-quality and quite valuable.

In addition, Wu Chengyu also brought out a large number of ancient children's toys such as clay figurines, cloth dolls, and windmills.

Little Mochou had never seen anything like these before. She only had a cloth tiger, and her master only had a few simple wooden and silver hairpins. No matter how young a girl is, her nature to love exquisite ornaments is always vibrant. Or rather, women, like dragons, have no resistance to things that are golden.

Little Mochou reached out her hand tremblingly, wanting to touch it, but not daring to: "Brother Chengyu, is this really a gift for me? It's so beautiful, Mochou really likes it, but Mochou doesn't dare to accept it, Master will scold me."

The moment the jewelry was revealed, the word "bad guy" vanished, and Wu Chengyu couldn't help but smile. Although Xiao Mochou liked it, she still knew she couldn't accept expensive gifts from others casually; she still had some basic manners. "Look, these are all for girls. I, Chengyu, am usually alone, and besides Xiao Mochou, I have no one else to give me gifts. If no one wants these gifts, we'll just have to throw them away. Are you willing to do that, Xiao Mochou?"

Little Mochou shook her head firmly: "How can we just throw away such good things? They will cry. Mochou can't bear to part with them, but Master said that we can't just accept gifts from other people."

"Okay, let's make a deal. Apart from gifts from Brother Chengyu, you will never accept gifts from other men again. That way, it won't be considered promiscuous. What do you say, Little Mochou? Can you do that?"

Little Mochou stared blankly at Wu Chengyu's handsome face, then at the jewelry she loved to the core, seemingly understanding but not quite.

"So you mean, apart from Brother Chengyu, we don't need to pay attention to any other men? Brother Chengyu is so handsome, much more handsome than those little Taoist priests I secretly saw before. Mochou can promise Brother that she will only be casual with Brother from now on."

"Um... your understanding is not wrong, so are you okay with these pieces of jewelry now?"

Actually, young girls don't understand the meaning of jewelry; they just like how pretty it looks, like they've finally gotten the toy they've always wanted.

Therefore, girls still need to be raised in a wealthy environment. Xiao Mochou's childhood lacked too much, and Wu Chengyu could only try his best to make up for it.

First, he satisfied the little girl's appetite with delicious food, helped her solve the problem of practicing martial arts, and even gave her so much jewelry. How could a little girl with little knowledge have ever seen such things? The current Mo Chou is not even as good as the naive Guo Xiang.

But these were not the gifts Wu Chengyu truly intended to give Li Mochou today; he then took out a third gift.

There were several manuals that he had personally copied over that night: Yi Jin Duan Gu Pian, Cui Xin Zhang, Xuan Lu Jiu Ying, Bai Mang Bian Fa, Qian Ji Shou, and a diagram.

Since they had benefited from the ancient tomb, and Wu Chengyu liked the adorable little Mochou so much, it was only natural to return the favor.

Wu Chengyu's internal energy cultivation method was not suitable for Xiao Mochou to practice. The Jade Maiden Heart Sutra had major flaws. However, it seems that Li Mochou did not obtain the Jade Maiden Heart Sutra later. In the Ancient Tomb, she practiced the technique that Lin Chaoying used before creating the Jade Maiden Heart Sutra, which was also quite remarkable.

Xiao Mochou's talent is absolutely top-notch. Without receiving the true teachings of the Ancient Tomb Sect, she was able to roam the martial arts world with the Five Poisons Secret Techniques she later acquired, coupled with her ruthlessness.

Huang Rong, having received the true teachings of both the Eastern Heretic and the Northern Beggar, could not gain much advantage against Li Mochou.

With the Yi Jin Duan Gu chapter, Li Mochou's aptitude will continue to improve, and Wu Chengyu is also looking forward to seeing how strong Li Mochou will become.

As for fist and palm techniques, the Great Subduing Demon Fist is too fierce and the Nine Yin Divine Claw is too vicious, neither of which is suitable for Li Mochou. She is already ruthless enough, and learning these martial arts would only increase her bloodshed.

The Heavenly Net Formation of the Ancient Tomb combines palm techniques and lightness skills, making it an excellent palm technique for entanglement combat. The Beauty Fist is also quite powerful and is more suitable for women to practice. At this time, adding the Heart-Shattering Palm will increase its attack power.

Needless to say, the Spiral Nine Shadows is a top-tier lightness skill. When combined with the lightness skills of the Ancient Tomb Sect, it can reach an even higher level. There is also the White Python Whip Technique. Li Mochou later became skilled in using the whisk, so she must have a great talent for practicing soft weapons.

But none of these are the main points. The most important gifts from Wu Chengyu are the Thousand Machine Hand and the painting.
