Assassin Farmer

Chapter 26-30

"When we stayed in the forest of Dashi Mountain for over a month, did you see any beasts then?" Lin Si Yao looked at her gently as he softly explained.

"Eh? That forest was the one on Dashi Mountain?" Su Shuilian blinked in confusion, finding the news hard to believe.

Lin Si Yao smiled. So she had been unaware, no wonder she had such a reaction. Nodding his head, he continued, "Yes, my guess is that the beasts of Dashi Mountain have long disappeared."

"Why do you think they don't exist? Just because we didn't see any doesn't mean they're not out there." Su Shuilian moistened her lips, thinking, Which book states such a thing? It is better to believe there was than to believe there wasn't.

Lin Si Yao pointed at the white tiger pelt in the baggage as he smiled and said, "I believe the beast should have been that."

"....." Su Shuilian was stunned. No...no way right?

Was her luck that good? When she had arrived in this world, she had escaped danger from this tiger? If the two wolves had not fought against it that day, would she have survived till now?

Su Shuilian clenched her sweaty palms. She now understood that she was very fortunate. Even though the wolves had only done so to protect their cubs, it had also benefited her. Su Shuilian decided that she should treat the wolves better now. Oh yes, she must definitely remember to give them meat tonight.

That night, Lin Si Yao traveled to Dashi Mountain.

Although he did not tell her about his departure, he left a note for her. If nothing went wrong, then he should be back by tomorrow afternoon. He had awoken the two wolves having a sweet dream about meat in the backyard, and in front of their innocent eyes, made his way to Dashi Mountain with a leap.

When Su Shuilian went to his room in the morning for breakfast, she found the note and realized that he had not told her about his departure to the mountains. Her heart filled with mixed feelings, the most prominent were that she was touched and angry. Touched by his thoughtfulness and angry at his boldness.

So what if his martial arts were good? So what if the beast no longer existed? Even if it's just to chop wood, how could he, a single person, carry all that wood?

When Lin Si Yao arrived at the entrance of the forest, he picked a rarely traveled route and entered the depths of the forest.

Considering the timber colors that Su Shuilian would most likely prefer, he picked seven fully grown trees that were dark purple and about two adults-wide in terms of thickness. That should be more than enough for making bedroom furniture. His other selections were common blood red beech trees. The deep, dark red should be festive, and the amount should be generous enough to make furniture.

At this line of thought, Lin Si Yao's cold eyes warmed slightly with tenderness. However, his movements did not slow as he adjusted his internal force. Using just his hands, the several trees he had picked collapsed to the ground. 

Using rattan rope to tie the trees into seven bundles of five trees each, Lin Si Yao went back and forth seven times as he carried all thirty-five trees to the entrance of the forest before using his inner energy to dry the wood. He then sat crossed-legged for a while to recover his qi.

After circulating his internal energy a few times, his internal force had finally recovered sufficiently.

The usually unperturbed Lin Si Yao could not help but be happy. This Jade Fairy's Essence was not an ordinary item. With just two spoonfuls, not only had he survive from the brink of death, but he also recovered his lost internal force. If this were to be known to the martial world, it would most definitely become a bloody fight.
