Chapter 58 058 I’m not good at you
Zhu Sanniang came to help Zhao Xingyue change a bandage in the morning, and went back after cordially expressing condolences to Wang Wu.
At noon, Erniang Centipede came to deliver food to Wang Wu. She originally prepared one for Zhao Xingyue, but after Wang Wu reminded her, she realized that Zhao Xingyue could not eat.
So the food was naturally given to Wang Wu.
Erniang Centipede's cooking skills have also improved by leaps and bounds in this month, and have far exceeded her own cooking level in her hometown.
Although Wang Wu is with his parents, he sometimes has to cook by himself, especially when his parents go out to travel, he has to prepare his own meals.
It's fine when it comes to takeout, but sometimes I feel like I can do it after watching some cooking videos, and then I just try to learn it, and I almost end up in the hospital without doing it for him.
Of course, some of the simple things he made are still edible, and they are not dark dishes.
Erniang Centipede also stayed for a while after delivering the meal to Wang Wu. After another meal of Wushan Yunyu, Erniang Centipede returned home feeling refreshed.
As for Mouse Girl, Mouse Girl didn’t come. She was too weak and it was not safe on the road, so she only ate the morning meal today.
Erniang Centipede planned to come in the evening, but Wang Wu refused because there would not be enough time to go back. Erniang Centipede was a little disappointed, but she still obeyed.
In the afternoon, Wang Wu crossed his legs and continued to absorb the demonic energy. At the same time, the Vajra Wheel of Invincibility was constantly running in his body.
Different from traditional martial arts novels that require concentration on inner strength and mental skills, the Vajra Wheel Method from the world of high-tech martial arts does not require deliberate concentration on movement. To use the advertisement I often saw in my previous life, it said, 'You can become stronger just by hanging up, the whole process. Automatic, no action required'.
Since practicing the Heavenly Demon Vajra Body, Wang Wu's practice speed of other Jitian Vajra Sect techniques has naturally become much faster. Now that there is a magic pill as an aid, the speed of cultivation has naturally reached a higher level.
Zhao Xingyue was awake all day long. Lying on the bed, she would turn her head to look at Wang Wu from time to time, but Wang Wu did not talk to her except for coming over to check her body and injecting cathode energy into her body for micro-manipulation. What communication does she have.
From time to time, her mind would still recall her response to Wang Wu's teasing sentence in the morning, but Wang Wu didn't seem to hear it, which made her slightly relieved, and at the same time she was disdainful of her own behavior.
Time passed quickly like this until night.
When the sun completely set from the sky, Wang Wu snapped his fingers, and a ball of light appeared from his hand, lighting up the cabin.
There was still no ceiling above his head, but Zhao Xingyue was used to it.
Wang Wu doesn't plan to absorb demon pills tonight, and there is no need to inhale demonic energy all day long. Inhaling too much will not cause any bad things, because this is a modern technique and there are not so many taboos. But the instructions also say that there is no need to rush, moderation is best.
So Wang Wu was naturally not in a hurry.
As for the training of fist and palm skills and sword skills, actual combat is actually better than driving wooden stakes. So Wang Wu didn't go outside to dig stakes during the day. The progress was too slow. It was better to pick a few monsters and kill them at night.
Those ghosts usually come out in the middle of the night. I looked at the time on my phone and saw that it was only five o'clock in the afternoon. It was getting dark earlier and earlier now.
With nothing to do, Wang Wu got up from the ground and came to Zhao Xingyue's side. He checked her again. After finding no problems, he sat down on the ground against her bed, took out a novel and started reading.
He bought a lot of books in Hedong County, and his cultural studies in the past month have also yielded results, and he has learned a lot of words.
Ten minutes later.
Wang Wu looked back at Zhao Xingyue, as if he wanted to say something, but he was embarrassed and turned his head back.
After a while, he turned his head again, looked at Zhao Xingyue, and repeated the above action.
The third time, the fourth time, the fifth time.
Finally, on the seventh time, Zhao Xingyue, who had always been a coward, finally couldn't stand it any longer and took the initiative to say:
"King, Your Excellency Wang Wu, what's wrong..."
"Uh, this, this, this, this..." Wang Wu's performance was also a little awkward. Looking at the other party's expression, Zhao Xingyue couldn't help but feel anxious.
"Well, this is this word. What do you pronounce this word?"
Wang Wu took out the "Weird Records of the Great Zhou Dynasty" that he was reading, pointed to a word on it, and asked.
He only bought two dictionaries, one was at Zhu Sanniang's place and the other was at Centipede Erniang's place.
As for himself, Wang Wu has always been confident. He feels that after all, he is also a student. Isn't it easy to learn some otherworldly texts? What's more, most of the language here is similar to the language back home.
As a result, I just started reading the novel, and something went wrong within ten minutes of reading it.
And asking for help made him feel even more humiliated.
Looking at the page handed to him and the word pointed at, Zhao Xingyue opened his mouth and was stunned for a long time.
"What's wrong, you don't recognize me either?"
After waiting for half a minute without waiting for the other party's answer, Wang Wu suddenly regained his balance when looking at Zhao Xingyue's expression. Don’t humans themselves recognize this? It seems that he is still not that...
"This word is read dance, dance." Until the pronunciation and meaning of this word were read out by the other party, the fig leaf that Wang Wugang had found was torn off.
"So you know each other?" Wang Wu said.
"Yes." Zhao Xingyue nodded, with a dull expression on his face and a bit of numbness.
‘Self-motivated’. Such a word suddenly popped into her mind, and then she shook her head and showed a self-deprecating smile.
But in the eyes of others, this smile doesn't mean that.
"Then why were you stunned for so long?" Wang Wu looked at the brief smile on the face of the woman in front of him, and suddenly felt that this woman was not as honest as she had shown before.
"What's wrong? I'm a monster. I just don't know some words. I wasn't born in your human town. What's wrong with me not knowing the words? Isn't this normal?"
Listening to Wang Wu's rapid-fire words and the anxious king-like expression on his face, Zhao Xingyue's lips curled up again. This time it was not that he was laughing at himself, but that he really couldn't help laughing.
"I, I don't have this, I don't have this intention..." She was about to explain a few words, but was interrupted by Wang Wu:
"You're still laughing! Damn it, you thought I didn't see it!?"
Wang Wu became even more anxious. Not only did he curse, his neck turned red.
"Forget it, forget it, I won't argue with you. I know you humans look down on us monsters, and I'm used to it anyway." After being anxious for a while, Wang Wu also realized that he was a little rude, turned around, and said it very generously. Wave your hands.
Then after another ten minutes, Wang Wu turned around again with a shy face.
"Uh, this, this word..."
He looked at Wang Wu who was holding the book in his hand and pointing to the words on it with a look of shame on his face. This time, Zhao Xingyue finally couldn't hold back and laughed out loud.

In the next few days, Wang Wu's daily action pattern was similar: checking Zhao Xingyue's body, injecting cathode energy to speed up recovery; absorbing magic pills, eating, and rubbing elbows with several female monsters in the wooden house, and then Wushan Yunyu, Yunyu High hall, holding the rain and carrying the clouds, the clouds...
Regarding this kind of thing, Zhao Xingyue would still blush at first, but she got used to it later. Although she still blushes, because she is a human being, not a monster. The education she received since childhood and the environment she grew up in are different from those of monsters.
From time to time, Wang Wu would ask her for advice on words he didn't know, or things he didn't understand in the text. After getting along with him for a few days, she found that Wang Wu was actually quite interesting.
Gradually, in addition to Wang Wu initiating the topic, she would also take the initiative to say something to Wang Wu. Sometimes it is some knowledge and common sense of the human world, and sometimes it is additional expansion after explaining some of Wang Wu's puzzlements about the description in the book.
After some chattering, Wang Wu learned more about the human world.
Today is the fourth day that Zhao Xingyue has been lying on this bed, and it is also the Mid-Autumn Festival. The Mid-Autumn Festival is also celebrated here, and the meaning is similar to the Mid-Autumn Festival in Wang Wu's hometown. Appreciating the moon, eating moon cakes, and family reunion.
"You can probably eat something the day after tomorrow." While eating moon cakes, Wang Wu said to Zhao Xingyue on the bed.
"I don't eat." Zhao Xingyue glanced at Wang Wu sideways, "Your mooncakes don't look delicious, are they stuffed with green dates?"
"Yes." Wang Wu nodded and expressed confusion about Zhao Xingyue's words: "It's delicious, why doesn't it taste good?"
Zhao Xingyue didn't answer, just showed a disgusted expression.
"Speaking of which..." Wang Wu didn't care about the other party's performance. After all, everyone has their own preferences, which is normal. But he thought of another thing at this moment, so he asked:
"I'm actually quite curious. Didn't you say before that your human sect will have an area used to track the monks who go out to perform missions, and to find out their lives and deaths..."
"Life stone." Zhao Xingyue said.
"Yes, the life stone." Wang Wu nodded repeatedly, and then continued: "Isn't there such a life stone that can track positioning and detect safety and even life and death?"
"Since you are not dead, why didn't your sect look for you based on the direction given by the life stone?" Wang Wu asked curiously.
"Because we won't give this thing to our disciples anymore." Zhao Xingyue explained: "In the past, many sects would give their disciples a life stone."
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
"But hundreds of years ago, an evil person discovered the fatal flaw of the life stone and used it to sacrifice all the younger disciples of a certain sect and turned them into unparalleled evil demons. All the sects in the world stopped using this thing. ”
"Don't you have one?" Wang Wu asked.
"That's what my senior brother and I share. With this life stone, we can immediately detect when the other party is in trouble and rush there..." Zhao Xingyue didn't finish her words because she found Wang Wu looking at her.
"Then since your senior brother has your life stone, why doesn't he come to save you?" Wang Wu asked.
Even without Wang Wu saying anything, Zhao Xingyue knew what he wanted to ask. As soon as these words came out, Zhao Xingyue seemed to be stressed, and immediately explained loudly to her senior brother:
"Senior brother must have been entangled in something! Therefore, he couldn't arrive in time. Senior brother and I have already made an oath of love. If he can come at that time, he must be..."
"But he's not here yet?" Wang Wu asked again, "It seems that this matter will take quite a long time."
"Yes, yes!"
Wang Wu was not actually stepping down the steps for Zhao Xingyue, but Zhao Xingyue seemed to think it was a step, so he borrowed the donkey to get off the slope and continued:
"Senior brother must have encountered bigger trouble than me, that's why he didn't come to rescue me."
As she said that, she looked at Wang Wu and said, "Thankfully, Brother Wang came to the rescue. Brother and I will never forget this kindness in this life, and we will definitely repay you in the future!"
"Uh, whatever. I don't care about your personal affairs, so let's just move on." Seeing her like this, Wang Wu had no intention of continuing to dwell on this issue. He stood up from the ground, put the novel in the ring, and stretched.
A few things have gathered outside the demon-slaying circle, and now it's time to go hunting.
The avoidance effect level of the King Kong Demon Circle is actually very high, and even demons with much higher strength than Wang Wu cannot enter it.
However, its killing ability is relatively poor, and it is linked to Wang Wu's current level, so although it can be avoided, it cannot be killed.
After walking out of the door, the figure disappeared into the darkness. Soon, strange roars and calls, as well as dazzling golden light came from outside.
After looking outside the door for a long time, Zhao Xingyue looked back and looked at the night sky above her head again. Since the third junior brother who appeared on the first night, there has been no other sneaky presence there.
"Alas."
Lying on the bed, Zhao Xingyue sighed. Close your eyes and continue refining the demon elixir to speed up your recovery.
Time continued to pass, half an hour, one hour, two hours. At this moment, Zhao Xingyue suddenly realized something was wrong.
Because Wang Wu never came back.
The light ball above the head still illuminates the room, but the light is no longer as bright as before. It dimmed and began to flicker, seemingly disappearing completely before long.
"King, Brother Wang?"
She shouted towards the door, but got no response.
Outside the wooden house, although the battle had ended long ago, the night was not as silent as the previous few days, with no movement at all.
Vaguely, she seemed to hear someone whispering. The voice sounded very far away, yet seemed to be right in front of her.
‘Rust, rustle’
Immediately afterwards, there were bursts of scratching sounds coming from the walls of the wooden house.
"Brother Wang!?"
Zhao Xingyue shouted again, and his voice drifted into the distance, echoing in the forest, but still did not receive any response.
Her heart sank instantly, not because of herself, but because of Wang Wu's safety.
If it weren't for Wang Wu, she would have died long ago. She saved her own life. If she needed to use her own life to repay the other party, she would never hesitate at all.
If something happened to Wang Wu because he helped her...
When Zhao Xingyue thought of this possibility, she felt as if her heart was being pinched by someone, making her breathless.
"Brother Wang!!!"
She shouted again, very loudly. After this call, the light ball in the wooden house disappeared, and the world was instantly swallowed up by endless darkness.
Although today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, there is a bright moon hanging in the sky. However, looking at the sky in this deep forest, the moon there is blood red.
"Wang, Brother Wang...?"
After a long time, a call came from the darkness again, with a hint of sadness and despair in the voice.
"What?"
But then, Wang Wu's voice rang out.
"You're crying like I'm dead." Along with his words, there was a snap of his fingers, and the wooden house was illuminated by light again.
‘King, brother Wang! ? ? ’
The moment she heard Wang Wu's voice, Zhao Xingyue suddenly surged with power, causing her to raise her head.
Looking at Wang Wu, her tone was full of joy and relief, "You, are you okay!??"
"It's okay." Wang Wu picked his nose, "I just met an acquaintance outside and chatted with her for a while."
