Chaotic World of Martial Arts: I Have a Spirit Pearl of Desire

"She actually tried to scheme against me!"

Chen You was speechless.

[Desire 4: You bumped into her today, making her believe you two are destined for each other! Tonight, she wants to have a late-night snack and drinks with you! She'll get you drunk and then make you satisfy her. (Completing this will earn you 50 Desire Points.)]

[Desire 5: I want you to satisfy me at least twice. (Completion rewards 200 Desire Points.)]

Chen You's expression was strange. It has to be said that Luo Yan's standards were quite high.

However, this is 200 desire points.

Fine, fine, let's just grant her wish.

It's not for the sake of desire points, it's just that I enjoy helping others.

A moment later, Chen You followed Zhao Zi through the winding corridors and headed straight for the library.

The young woman walking ahead suddenly slowed her pace and turned her head slightly to look at him: "Chen You, you rarely come all this way, are you sure you're leaving tomorrow?"

On the way here, Chen You brought up her idea of ​​leaving the Zhao residence first thing tomorrow morning.

Chen You nodded politely and replied, "Yes, I still have some trivial matters to take care of at home, so I won't delay any longer."

"Alright..." Zhao Zi sighed softly, a hint of regret in her voice. "Sigh, I was thinking of taking you around the neighborhood tomorrow when I have some free time."

"There will be plenty of opportunities in the future," Chen You said with a slight smile.

"That's true. If you ever come to Canglan City again, you must come to the Zhao family to find me."

"must!"

As the two were talking, they arrived in front of the library.

The library was a key location for the Zhao family, and two burly, vigorous guards stood prominently at the entrance.

Upon seeing Zhao Zi arrive, the two quickly bowed and greeted her, "Young Miss!"

Zhao Zi nodded slightly and led her people inside.

Pushing open the wooden door, a faint scent of ink and aged paper wafts out.

The first floor of the library is quite spacious, with towering sandalwood bookshelves all around, neatly stacked with a large number of books on geography, local customs, anecdotes of wealthy families, and basic martial arts.

On the most prominent stone platform in the very center, there were more than a dozen exquisite brocade boxes.

"Chen You, this is the first floor of my Zhao family's library."

Zhao Zi pointed to the stone platform in the center, turned around and earnestly suggested, "There are nineteen martial arts manuals stored on the first floor. I recommend you choose 'Long Fist'. This style of boxing is upright and peaceful, with a solid foundation, and it is also the style practiced by the most ordinary disciples of my Zhao family."

Chen You looked at the brocade boxes displayed on the stone platform and smiled as she declined Zhao Zi's offer: "Let me look at the others first."

Zhao Zi nodded and said no more, then smiled and stepped aside.

Chen You began to slowly browse between the bookshelves and the stone table.

The Zhao family's library has strict rules; the manuals displayed here only have prefaces and descriptions of the techniques.

Once a book is selected, a servant from the Zhao family will go to a secret room in the backyard to retrieve the real, complete manual, thus preventing anyone from stealing it under the guise of consulting it.

However, there are always exceptions!

Those incomplete or flawed techniques are not so particular.

It was simply placed haphazardly on a secluded wooden shelf to the side.

Chen Youman walked over casually, her gaze sweeping over the pile of tattered books, when she was suddenly drawn to a yellowed, thin booklet.

The cover prominently displays three large, flamboyant characters: "Flying on Grass".

He picked it up and flipped through a few pages. After just one glance, he exclaimed, "This method is quite good."

Zhao Zi leaned closer to examine the manual in his hand and exclaimed in surprise, "Chen You, this 'Flying on Grass' is indeed quite good. If it were the complete version, its power would be enough to rank it among the second-rate movement techniques. However... when my Zhao family ancestor obtained it, it was already incomplete, making it extremely difficult to cultivate."

"Incomplete ones are fine too," Chen You said, surprising everyone.

"This..." Zhao Zi was stunned, her eyes filled with astonishment.

She quickly advised, "Chen You, you mustn't be reckless! Forcibly cultivating an incomplete technique is a major taboo for martial artists. It's extremely easy to cause qi and blood to become disordered, damage to meridians, and even the risk of qi deviation. If you really want a movement technique, my Zhao family's library also has complete movement techniques for you to choose from. Why take this risk?"

"Don't worry, Miss Zhao, I know what I'm doing and I'll choose this one." Chen You's expression was calm, but her eyes were incredibly firm.

Zhao Zi offered a couple more words of advice.

However, Chen You's attitude was resolute!

Seeing Chen You's resolute attitude, Zhao Zi opened her mouth, but could only sigh helplessly in the end: "Alright, since you insist on this, I won't try to persuade you any further. I hope you will act within your means."

…………

Back at his lodgings, Chen You couldn't wait to turn on the lights and sit down at the table to carefully look through the pages.

This book, "Flying on Grass," truly lives up to its reputation as a second-rate movement technique. Its cultivation method is extremely profound, emphasizing the gathering of the body's Qi and blood in the meridians of the legs, and using special power exertion techniques to make the body as light as a feather, treading on grass and flying over eaves, as fast as lightning.

Unfortunately, the latter half, which describes the circulation of Qi and blood, is discontinuous, making it an incomplete and uncultivable text.

However, just as Chen You finished browsing through the contents, the Desire Beads in his mind trembled slightly, and a pale red light flashed, revealing a prompt about practicing "Flying on Grass"!

"It really works..." Chen You thought with delight.

However, looking at the energy accumulating within the Desire Beads, he did not choose to immediately consume the Desire Points to cultivate "Flying on Grass".

After all, the return journey is long and will take at least several days.

This period was full of uncertainties.

He has to consume desire points every day to view surrounding information and danger warnings in real time, and he must not let them run out completely.

"Knock knock knock!"

Just as Chen You was deep in thought, a crisp knock came from outside the door.

"Junior Brother Chen, are you asleep?"

Upon recognizing Luo Yan's voice, Chen You's heart stirred. He casually tucked "Flying on Grass" into his pocket, got up, and opened the door.

Looking at the beautiful figure standing outside the door, he smiled knowingly and asked, "Senior Sister Luo, what's this...?"

Luo Yan, standing outside the door, had slightly flushed cheeks and looked exceptionally beautiful under the moonlight and lamplight.

She was carrying an exquisite wooden shopping basket and said somewhat shyly in a low voice, "I can't sleep, so I wanted to chat with you."

"Perfect timing, I can't sleep either."

Chen You's lips curled up slightly as he turned to gesture for her to come in. His gaze fell on the wooden basket in her hands, and he asked curiously, "What's in this basket? It smells so good."

Upon hearing this, Luo Yan's expression brightened. She quickly walked to the table, took out several plates of side dishes from the basket, and said with a slightly coquettish tone, "I specially asked the Zhao family's kitchen to prepare these! Look, there's sliced ​​braised beef, a plate of crispy peanuts, and a bowl of refreshing and appetizing cold black fungus salad."

"Do you have any wine?"

Chen You found it somewhat strange.

Luo Yan's desire was clearly to have a late-night snack and drinks with him!

She didn't bring it.

Upon further reflection, Chen You understood.

She may have desires, but that doesn't mean she actually dares to do it!

However, upon hearing Chen You's words, Luo Yan blushed and asked, "Junior Brother Chen, do you still want to drink?"

"Yes, it's rare to find such good food. I'd like some late-night snacks and a few drinks!"

"I happen to have some wine in the kitchen; I just saw it. Since you want a drink, I'll go get it for you!"

"Then I'll trouble you, Senior Sister."

A moment later, Luo Yan brought over two large jugs of wine.

As soon as the door closed, Luo Yan's heart started pounding.

She remembered that night.

I almost got ruined!

But thanks to Chen You.

Recalling that day, Luo Yan couldn't help but say, "Junior Brother Chen, this cup of wine is for you. We owe you so much for that night."

"Senior sister, let's not talk about the past. Anyway, the person who harmed you is dead." Chen You grinned and drank the wine.

Then, the two chatted about everyday things.

Hearing that Chen You is now highly regarded by Coach Luo Haitang, Luo Yan was happy for him.

After several rounds of drinks and five courses of food,

Even Chen You himself was finding it hard to bear.

This wine is no ordinary wine.

"Junior Brother Chen..."

Luo Yan breathed softly, staring intently at Chen You.

All that remained in his eyes was lust.

Seeing this, Chen You naturally didn't hold back.

"Senior sister, why don't you... get some rest?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Luo Yan pounced on her.

Chen You: "…………"
