Zongman: Under One Person, join the chat group

She planned to lend a helping hand when Qin Qi and the others encountered danger, confident that her status as the top assassin of the Luo Wang organization would be enough to help them resolve the crisis.

However, she did not expect Qin Qi to be so powerful. She had indeed experienced several assassination attempts and attacks during this period.

However, those people would be killed on the spot if they got close to Qin Qi, and some were even frightened into fainting by Qin Qi's aura!

'Sigh, I can only act once. After I do, the Net will definitely find out I'm still alive and come looking for me.'

'By then I will have to leave; I cannot drag them into the clutches of the Net.'

Jing Ni could only act once, and since she hadn't found an opportunity, she had no choice but to do some odd jobs to repay Qin Qi and the others.

"Are you massaging my back or me? Focus, okay? Don't keep varying the pressure."

"And could you please change your position? You keep hitting the same spot, how are you supposed to mine?"

Qin Qi turned to look at Jing Ni, and then personally taught her how to tap her back and how to massage her.

"Okay, I got it."

Jing Ni truly lives up to her reputation as a martial arts genius. Well, although she's not learning martial arts right now, back massage is still a skill in itself.

She quickly learned the technique and then began to put it into practice.

"Is the force okay?"

"It's alright, a little heavier won't hurt."

"Oh, is the tapping position okay?"

"It's alright, but not precise enough."

Jing Ni nodded and began massaging Qin Qi's back even more earnestly. This assassin, who had always made a living by killing, was now seriously learning how to massage someone's back.

If Luo Wang's former colleagues knew this, they would probably be so surprised their jaws would drop.

In the afternoon, the three of them arrived in front of a waterfall. Qin Qi saw the majestic waterfall and was suddenly moved by its magnificent momentum.

He picked up the zither and began to play, and in the process of playing, he created a new skill.

And it was incorporated into the music!

Spurred on by Qin Qi, Xue Nu immediately began composing music, and then spent seven days writing a flute piece to accompany Qin Qi's performance.

It took another three days to practice it successfully, and then Qin Qi was asked to play the piece again.

"You can just tell me next time, and I can write it for you."

"No, the music you create will always be yours. What I want is music that I create myself to complement yours."

"Hey, okay."

Qin Qi began to play the piano, and Xue Nu began to play the flute. At this moment, Jing Ni, who was listening nearby, suddenly felt as if she could see the Milky Way falling from the sky like a waterfall.

Its overwhelming momentum seemed unstoppable!

The sun shines on the incense burner, creating purple smoke; from afar, the waterfall hangs like a curtain before the river, cascading down three thousand feet, as if the Milky Way were falling from the ninth heaven!

"I don't understand the music, but I know your performance is amazing. Just listening to it is like watching it with my own eyes."

Jingni couldn't help but sigh, "I doubt I could ever do what you guys do in my entire life."

"Playing music is not about comparing who is better or worse, but about cultivating one's character. To put it simply, it's about enjoying the music."

"If you're interested, I can start by teaching you the simplest pieces."

The Snow Maiden stepped forward, handed her flute to Jingni, and then patiently taught her how to play it.

"I... I can't do it."

Jing Ni's hands had never held anything other than the sword used to kill, but now she was playing a tune on a flute.

This was something she had never dared to believe before; she could actually do something that girls did!

"Be confident, you've already done a great job."

The snow woman encouraged her.

"I still remember the first time I learned to play the piano, Yuki-onna just threw me a sheet of music and then sat next to me and started criticizing me."

"Alas, the tears I shed for those days are still wet on my lips."

Qin Qi sighed. He had received such good treatment back then; this was blatant double standards—feeding me peanuts, feeding me peanuts!

"Hmph, ignore him. That guy pretended to know nothing and made me teach him how to play the piano."

"Then he casually flipped through some basic sheet music and played incredibly beautiful music. Hmph, no one would believe you just learned it."

Although Xue Nu knew that Qin Qi was very capable and intelligent, she still couldn't believe that he could play such beautiful music after only a short time and reading a musical score.

Qin Qi shook his head and said nothing. He had been misunderstood too many times because of this since he was a child.

I remember when he was six years old, he told Fang Dongtian that he had read all the books in the Quanzhen School and memorized them all.

Fang Dongtian's reaction at the time was even more outrageous than Xue Nu's. For the next year, Fang Dongtian would mention it from time to time.

"That's unbelievable! He's read so many books so quickly, memorized them, and even knows them backwards! He can answer any question about a specific page or word."

'This doesn't make sense! Even metaphysics doesn't work!'

It took Fang Dongtian a year to finally stop talking about this matter.

A few days later, after Jingni played her first tune, she looked nervously at Xue Nu.

"awesome."

The Snow Maiden's drum malfunctioned. Although Jing Ni only played a very simple tune, it represented that Jing Ni had taken the first step, which was truly impressive.

"Thank you."

A feeling suddenly welled up in Jingni's heart. At first, she didn't know what it was, but after a long time, she realized that it was called happiness.

Jing Ni discovered that although it had only been a short time since she had been with Qin Qi and the others, the experiences during that time had been remarkable.

More than she has learned in all these years combined, she has learned how to massage backs, she has learned to play the flute, and she has learned to start a fire and cook.

Qin Qi and Xue Nu would not give her orders or force her to do anything. On the contrary, they often taught her things she had never encountered before.

This was something Jingni had never experienced in Luo Wang before; perhaps this feeling was what ordinary life felt like.

"The Qilin Horse is eating."

Jingni brought some food to feed the Qilin horse. She wanted to help it groom its fur, but the horse glared at her as soon as she reached out.

"The Qilin horse doesn't like being touched by others. Only Qin Qi can touch him. When I first saw him, I wanted to reach out and touch him."

"He spit out a breath that burned the back of my hand."

The Snow Woman walked over, greeted the Qilin Horse, and then asked Jing Ni, "Do you know the meaning of the name Qilin Horse?"

Jingni shook her head. She thought the name meant race or breed.

After all, there are names like "Ferghana horse" and "Thousand-mile horse," which Jingni thought were names of breeds.

"A unicorn among horses, a rider who transcends the mortal realm."

"Qin Qi once said that the Qilin horse has absolute pride, a pride that comes from its very bones."

"This pride makes him absolutely unwilling to be controlled by others, and absolutely unwilling to submit to others."

“When someone wanted to ride him, he refused. Even when faced with the threat of death, he showed no fear.”

The snow woman spoke.

"Humph."

The Qilin horse sneezed. Although it looked down on the two human women, what they said was quite right.

I am a born king among horses, and I have my own pride! No one can touch me except those I approve of.

"Then why is the Qilin Horse willing to follow Mr. Qin Qi?"

Jingni asked this question: What could a horse, which is not even afraid of death, possibly have that could make the other submit?

"Qin Qi raced against him for three days and three nights. Doesn't it sound stupid to race between a man and a horse?"

Xue Nu laughed as she said this, and even now, she still thinks that Qin Qi can be quite childish at times.

Jingni couldn't help but laugh after hearing this. Someone actually went to race against a horse? Was he an idiot?

"Humph."

Qilin Ma was immediately unhappy. That defeat was the only defeat he had ever experienced in his life, and he would win it back sooner or later!

Qilin Ma finished his meal in two bites and then turned and left, wanting to seize every minute and second to train his body!

Sooner or later I'll surpass Qin Qi, and then make him carry me on his back!

"Qin Qi told me back then that the Qilin horse had not submitted to him. The fact that it was willing to follow him and let him ride it was simply a matter of accepting the consequences of its bet."

"The bet between those two guys was also very childish. If Qin Qi won, he would ride the Qilin Horse; if the Qilin Horse won, Qin Qi would carry the Qilin Horse."

"I have to say, it's really too childish."

The Snow Woman watched the departing Kirin Horse. Both she and the horse were too naive, even though they were both incredibly powerful.

He was once called a madman for moving freely amidst the encirclement of ten thousand Yan troops, but in private he was surprisingly naive.

Jingni looked at Xue Nu, sensing that Xue Nu hadn't finished speaking.

"But I don't think so. You'll know once you spend more time with them that their relationship is more than just winning or losing a bet."

"In our eyes, the Qilin Horse is just a horse, but in Qin Qi's eyes it is not like that. He truly recognizes the Qilin Horse's will."

"Recognize the other party's pride. Once, when we went to a tavern for dinner, the owner wouldn't let the horse in."

"Qin Qi did not hesitate to take his wine and rice bowl outside to eat with the Qilin horse. In his eyes, the Qilin horse was never considered an inferior animal."

"I believe that's why the Qilin Horse recognized Qin Qi and was willing to carry him."

Xue Nu knew that Qin Qi and the Qilin Horse were very similar; they both had their own pride and integrity, but this pride was not arrogance or conceit.

This pride stems from inner confidence and resilience; it is a steadfast will!

'If I told them I used to be an assassin for the Luo Wang organization, would they accept me? Would they let me continue following them?'

Jingni looked at Xue Nu and was somewhat moved by what she heard. Even a horse was treated the same, so what about herself?

She opened her mouth, but in the end, she didn't say anything.

'Don't bother others. Your hands are stained with blood. Even if you leave the net, you'll still be a heartless executioner.'

'You will be hunted down by the Net forever until you die; you will never be able to live a normal, peaceful life.'

'Contacting them will only drag them into their trap. If you truly care about them, then leave.'

These thoughts came to Jingni's mind. She felt that the best way to repay Qin Qi and Xue Nu at this moment was to leave.

She didn't want to bring the dangers of the snare to them, but thinking of all the things they had been through together, she felt a little reluctant.

'Give me some more time. Just a little longer, and I'll leave once I reach the State of Zhao.'

'I'll sneak away once I find a crowded place. That would be best, the best possible outcome.'

Jingni found a reason for her reluctance: she would leave, but not now; she would leave once she reached the State of Zhao.

After finding a reason, she suppressed all her emotions again and faced the Snow Woman with a normal expression.

Even though she had removed the mask of the assassin from her face, the mask in her heart remained.

The Snow Maiden noticed the change in Jing Ni's expression just now, but she didn't say anything. Instead, she suggested that she teach Jing Ni to dance.

"Dancing? I... I'm not good at it."

Jing Ni spoke up.

"It's okay. You're so beautiful and have such a great figure. You only need to learn a few moves to be able to dance well."

The Snow Maiden began to demonstrate to Jingni, every smile and gesture full of charm, even Jingni, who was also a woman, was stunned by her beauty.

(Wang Wang's) is so beautiful, not in appearance, but in a feeling. The moment you see the Snow Woman, you will have a very beautiful feeling.

In the state of Zhao, there was a dancer named Bai Xue. Her song was so moving that it brought tears to people's eyes, and her dance surpassed all others.

…………

The next day, Qin Qi and his group continued their journey, and around noon, they entered a forest.

Suddenly, Qin Qi stopped in his tracks.
