Chapter 263
263, Too Generous (5 updates)
Even as a martial arts prodigy, it was impossible to increase one’s Inner Strength so dramatically overnight and become a master of the Martial Arts World.
She practiced the boxing technique taught by Li Hengyi. The moves, which had not been too smooth before, were now executed with vigorous force, their power seemingly boundless.
With a single palm strike into the lake, she sent up a column of water as large as a car, followed by several more with successive poundings.
“…”
Xie Zhinuan stopped practicing, staring in astonishment.
Yet after the shock, she smiled. From now on, she would be able to protect herself, no longer needing to live in constant fear and caution.
With that thought, Xie Zhinuan went to search the various rooms for the sword manual.
It wasn’t that she didn’t trust Li Hengyi. It was just that she felt some things were better kept in hand.
What she sought was easily found; items in the space seemed to naturally emerge in her mind. She entered the room, took out the sword manual, and casually flipped through it.
Curiously, after reading the first page, she knew how to proceed with the techniques, how to dodge an enemy’s assassination attempt, and then counterattack to control the opponent.
Xie Zhinuan quickly skimmed through the manual and felt her memory was exceptionally sharp-she had memorized it all in just one read-through.
“…”
Only at this moment did she fully realize the power of the Spatial Spirit Spring, which she had never taken seriously before, nor had she fully acknowledged the omnipotence of Spiritual Spring Water.
Only now, when she truly understood its ability to enhance Inner Strength, did she see why Yuanbao and the others held it in such high regard.
She put the sword manual back in place-after all, it was now etched in her mind-and picked up a medicine pill labeled as a great tonic pill. Xie Zhinuan left the space and lay on the bed.

Her body did not feel sore at all; instead, she felt unusually energetic and lively.She closed her eyes, and as she turned over, she heard faint noises on the roof, approaching from a distance.
“…”
The noises were not from just one person. It seemed like several people were approaching, and their martial arts skills were exceptionally strong.
Xie Zhinuan sat up quickly.
Just as she was about to open the door, there was a commotion in Li Hengyi’s room.
Sounds of a struggle.
Routuan suddenly began to bark loudly, while the gray wolf howled.
Someone approached her window. “Miss Xie, it’s me, Yuanbao. Quickly open the door!”
Xie Zhinuan hastily opened the door.
“Miss Xie, please follow me!” Yuanbao said gravely.
Duobao had already entered Li Hengyi’s room with a sword in hand.
Xie Zhinuan wasn’t sure if it was an illusion, but she felt that Duobao’s speed wasn’t that fast.
“Miss Xie, you go inside and stay with mute uncle. I will guard the door with others!”
Xie Zhinuan nodded.
She called the three animals and entered the room.
The mute servant, who was somewhat weak, leaned against the headboard.
Lian Huai held a sword in his left hand, vigilantly watching the roof.
“…”
Xie Zhinuan walked to the edge of the bed and, after a moment of hesitation, took out a medicine pill and offered it to the mute servant. “Mute Uncle, take this!”
The mute servant looked at Xie Zhinuan.
Then he looked at the medicine pill in her palm, its fragrance wafting through the air. He knew this was a precious pill, one that couldn’t be bought with any amount of silver.
He shook his head slightly.
The better the medicine, the more it should be saved and not used carelessly.
Once taken, there would be no more in the world.
“Mute Uncle, I have more. Please take it!” Xie Zhinuan urged, offering the pill to him again.
After a moment’s hesitation, tempted by the enticing fragrance, the mute servant swallowed his saliva, took the medicine pill, and gingerly placed it in his mouth.
As soon as the pill entered his mouth, it dissolved instantly, sliding down his throat into his stomach.
He immediately felt warmth spread through his cold body, and the stabbing pain at his heart seemed to be gently soothed by a pair of warm hands, disappearing completely.
