Chapter 945: Beauty Training
To become an external martial arts master, it’s not just about having strength and a sturdy physique.
It requires prolonged soaking in medicine baths, followed by relentless forging, like iron.
Money is also a significant factor in creating an external martial arts master.
Regarding this woman’s strength, after a brief confrontation earlier, Lin Tian has a rough estimate in his mind. She’s between a low-level and a mid-level martial artist.
However, in front of him, a Golden Core expert, she still appears... too weak.
The short-haired woman looked at Lin Tian’s gaze, gradually lowering it.
Her assessment of him boiled down to four words: unfathomable!
That flick just now, although he didn’t exert his full strength, it shouldn’t have been intercepted so easily.
What did this man just do? He just touched his hand, and managed to catch the teacup without breaking it, not even a drop of water spilled out.
Facing a powerful enemy, the only thing she could do was to lie low for now, then find an opportunity for revenge. Besides... this guy came to save the Jin Guard.
Lin Tian held the teacup that still retained the warmth from the flick of the short-haired woman, took a sip without disdain, and after swallowing and feeling the aftertaste, he disappointingly shook his head and stood up from the chair.
Everyone’s eyes were focused on him, wondering what this Celestial Dragon Continent person wanted to do next.
"This tea, it’s terrible..." After saying this, Lin Tian walked behind Hua Dongxu, gently patted his shoulder, and smiled, "You promised to give me the Silver Needle, saying that I could match it. It’s not because I can cure your Jin Guard’s illness, oh."
"Mr. Lin, what do you mean by this?" Hua Dongxu asked with a frown.
Lin Tian smiled, "No particular meaning, just suddenly tired, wanting to go back to sleep."
"There are plenty of rooms here, everything you need to eat and wear, if you want to rest, you can sleep here," Hua Dongxu said.
"I can’t get used to the beds here."
The short-haired woman’s temperament was as straight as her hair, she pushed her chair aside and stood up, asked in broken Celestial Dragon Continent language, "You won’t treat the Jin Guard’s illness anymore?"
"No more." Lin Tian waved his hand and strode towards the door.
"Stop him!" The woman shouted loudly in the local language. Lin Tian couldn’t understand, but the small-eyed and long-faced guards standing at the door could. They positioned themselves in front of the door, like a wall.
"What does this mean?" Lin Tian sneered, "Planning to keep me captive here?"
"Captive?" The woman looked at Hua Dongxu, asked, "What does that mean?"
"It’s illegal detention," Hua Dongxu explained in the local language.
"Hey." Lin Tian laughed, "Whether illegal or not, if you don’t use a bit of illegal weapons, you really can’t keep me."
The woman’s face didn’t look good, it was obviously impossible to use hot weapons. Not to mention being within the Celestial Dragon Continent, even in Xiaocheng, if you hurt a Celestial Dragon Continent person, those old herbal doctors would still be of help?
Seeing the situation turning unfavorable, Hua Dongxu quickly said, "Mr. Lin, why the trouble? Wasn’t everything fine before?"
"It was fine before, but I’m not satisfied with your hospitality," Lin Tian said plainly, "I’m here to help, not to seek revenge. Han Ze and these two strong men made things difficult for me just now, and now there’s another woman whose Celestial Dragon Continent language isn’t clear, glaring at me. And then that teacup, if it wasn’t for my martial skills, I might be lying in the sickbed like your Jin Guard now."
"It’s not... that exaggerated, right? Besides, you said some ungentlemanly words too, why not make friends and call it even?" Hua Dongxu said.
Lin Tian sneered, "You think she’ll treat me as a friend?"
Hua Dongxu smiled awkwardly at the woman, couldn’t really be sure about this.
The short-haired woman took a deep breath, then slightly lowered her head to Lin Tian, said, "I’m sorry!"
"I don’t accept this apology," Lin Tian chuckled lightly, "What’s with that tone, where’s the apology? It’s full of hostility!"
The woman took another deep breath, suppressed her irritable emotions, and softly said, "I’m sorry!"
"Ah~ now this apology is a bit interesting." Lin Tian nodded with satisfaction, thinking to himself, no wonder so many men like the taming genre, it is kind of satisfying.
"Mr. Lin, can you return to your seat? Mr. Zhao and others will arrive soon, I hope you don’t let them see such an unfriendly scene," Hua Dongxu smoothed over the situation.
"Alright." Lin Tian nodded, returned to the chair, continued the glaring contest with the short-haired woman.
Lin Tian took another sip of the tea on the table, smiled, "Mr. Hua, we have a saying in Celestial Dragon Continent called ’When in Rome, do as the Romans do’, have you heard of it?"
"Of course."
"Then can I make a request?"
"Of course." Hua Dongxu looked at Lin Tian with curiosity and a bit of fear, he had experienced enough today to know how difficult this guy could be.
The short-haired woman also slightly raised her eyes, glanced at this nuisance in front of her.
It’s not like you came here as a guest, why so many demands?
Lin Tian pointed at the tea on the table, said, "This tea, it’s too inferior for hospitality."
"What’s your suggestion then?"
Lin Tian smiled blandly, "Mr. Hua, don’t look at me like that, I’m quite easy-going."
Hua Dongxu nodded on the surface, cursed inwardly: nonsense!
"I just want to change to some good tea to drink, this request isn’t too much, right?" Lin Tian said, "Actually, not just me, my teacher and Mr. Yee, they all love tea. A good cup of tea versus a poor one, it represents your attitude too."
"Celestial Dragon Continent uses good tea for hospitality, this request isn’t excessive. What kind of tea does Mr. Lin want to drink?" the woman asked flatly.
"I want to drink Cloud Tea from Five Pure Mountains, but I think you can’t get it. Then let’s have Da Hong Pao, Wuyi’s oolong tea."
"Alright." The short-haired woman waved her hand, instructing, "Bring three types of Da Hong Pao for Mr. Lin to choose. Also, get a girl good at tea arts."
"Yes!" The small-eyed guard saluted the short-haired woman; her words were like orders.
Suddenly, Lin Tian said, "No need to bring a tea art lady, let this beauty make it."
"Huh?" The woman lifted her head, looked at Lin Tian expressionlessly. Her inner hostility had arisen more than ten times.
"I don’t drink tea, but I know your Celestial Dragon Continent tea-making requires skills. You think, brewing such good tea by me wouldn’t waste it?" the woman said blandly.
Lin Tian smiled broadly, shook his head, "Tea art aside, this is just a matter of heartfelt intent. You’re the host, I’m the guest, you should make the tea."
"Would you dare drink tea I brew?"
"Hahaha, isn’t it just a cup of tea? You brew it beside me every day, and I’d dare to drink it."
Celestial Dragon Continent’s culture is vast and profound.
’Brew it beside me every day,’ beyond tea-making, it also holds another meaning.
Lin Tian smiled meaningfully. That smile similar to otakus who enjoy maid training games.
