Super Allrounder

Kapitel 52

"I'm so tired, you know? I'm so tired."

Baili Qingyi stopped what he was doing, and tenderly wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes: "I know, I know everything."

He kissed the top of her head.

"From this day forward, you are no longer alone. I will not let you suffer anymore. Whatever hardships you may face in the future, we will share them together. Do whatever you want to do. With me by your side, you don't need to worry about anything."

Yin Wuxiao pondered for a moment: "You're right. With you here, you can bear all the hardships. If we still have to beg for food in the future, you will be the one to beg, and I will only be responsible for eating."

Baili Qingyi was speechless for a moment. Then he smiled and said, "Okay."

Yin Wuxiao smiled: "Qingyi, I love you. Even if you stop loving me one day, I will still love you until you fall in love with me again."

"Qingyi, tonight is our wedding night. Do you remember who took liberties with whom when we first met?"

Then, she pounced on her.

Author's Note: Yang, who is usually of bad character, finally had a stroke of good luck and finished updating the story despite the lack of visitors. If you still have questions, please don't worry, there will be a bonus chapter later.

Side Story: Going to Shanzisong

Strictly speaking, this chapter shouldn't be considered a side story. The author deserves a beating for leaving the biggest mystery of the book to a side story.

So what exactly happened six years ago?

Baili Qingyi thought he was dead, but the cold touch on his lips reminded him that he was still alive. He thought that if his father knew he had fallen into such a state, he would be furious.

A sweet trickle seeped into his parched mouth, and he slowly opened his eyelids. For a moment, he thought he had encountered a legendary fairy.

A disheveled girl, about fifteen or sixteen years old, with long, wet hair, was feeding him water by rolling a leaf into a funnel shape. She looked extremely troubled, as if she had never done anything like serving someone before.

Then he noticed he was on the bank of a mountain stream, his scrapes carefully bandaged. It seemed he was the culprit for the girl's disheveled state; the bandages appeared to be from her clothing. The woman, seemingly certain he wouldn't wake up quickly, wore only enough fabric to cover her vitals, leaving large expanses of skin exposed, a tantalizing sight. His upbringing forced him to avert his gaze, only to find himself completely naked, all his clothes drying on a nearby fire.

His gaze met the girl's eyes. The girl screamed, picked up a stone, and smashed it over his head. Before he could even sigh, he fainted again.

When he regained consciousness, it was completely dark. By the firelight, he saw the girl sitting cross-legged beside him, wearing his outer robe, completely covered. Fortunately, his undershirt was back on, avoiding the embarrassment of being naked. A familiar look of panic appeared in the girl's eyes, and she seemed about to reach for a rock again. Baili Qingyi quickly cried out, "No!"

His voice was hoarse, and his pronunciation was unclear. The girl frowned and slowed her movements. For a moment, Baili Qingyi wondered if she could understand Mandarin.

Or perhaps she truly was a mountain spirit, untouched by worldly concerns? He found his own speculation amusing.

“Miss,” he cleared his throat, “I am not a bad person.”

The girl still sized him up with hostility, but slowly lowered her arm, seemingly no longer intending to find a rock to knock him unconscious.

Baili Qingyi smiled bitterly. He realized that his limbs were numb and he couldn't move. The girl must have given him some kind of numbing drug. He cautiously asked, "You...can you understand Mandarin?"

The girl was clearly taken aback. She lowered her head and pondered something, then suddenly looked up and raised a stone.

Baili Qingyi was shocked: "Stop!" Is this girl really wild? He tried to smile: "Be good, I'm not a bad person, I... I don't mean any harm..." He had been practicing martial arts in Baili Prefecture since he was a child, and since he mastered the skills, he had never encountered a situation where he was unable to move or communicate and could only be slaughtered by others.

Unexpectedly, the girl raised the stone and smashed a fruit on the ground in two with a loud bang. She picked up the fruit and dripped the fragrant juice from the shell into his mouth. The juice was very thick and almost made him choke, but he obediently swallowed it, not forgetting to say, "Thank you."

The girl gave him a strange look, then took the remaining half of the fruit and ate it herself. Unfortunately, she had smashed that half, and the juice spilled all over her hands and face.

Seeing how messy she was eating, Baili Qingyi couldn't help but laugh.

The girl paused, looking at him angrily.

Baili Qingyi quickly suppressed her smile: "I apologize, I did not mean to mock you."

The girl snorted, threw the fruit aside, turned her back to Baili Qingyi, and fell asleep immediately.

A gentle breeze and a bright moon blew through the quiet night, the mountains were deserted, and a beautiful woman was by his side. Baili Qingyi thought for a moment, then closed his eyes, feigning sleep. But for some reason, his mind was in turmoil, and he couldn't fall asleep no matter what. So he opened his eyes and said to the girl's retreating figure, "Miss! Your clothes are on fire!"

"What? Where?" The girl jumped up like a rabbit, frantically checking every part of her body to see if it was intact.

She suddenly realized that she had been tricked and glared angrily at Baili Qingyi.

Baili Qingyi suddenly found her very cute.

"Young lady, you clearly speak Mandarin, and your voice is quite pleasant. Why do you want me to think you can't understand Mandarin?"

The girl sneered, "The clothes are on fire? It's clearly the hair that's on fire." She picked up a burning branch, brought it close to Baili Qingyi's head, and unceremoniously singed his hair.

“Miss…” Baili Qingyi finally panicked a little. “This is no joke…” The flames burned brighter and brighter, almost burning off his full head of black hair. With a splash, the girl scooped up the cold spring water from the mountain stream, extinguished the flames, and also poured it all over his head and face.

Baili Qingyi kept his eyes tightly shut, only slowly opening them after the water had run down his face. He now understood the meaning of "what goes around comes around." He immediately heeded the adage "silence is golden" and remained silent.

After a while, the girl asked, "Are you a member of the martial arts world?"

"Hmm...I guess so," Baili Qingyi replied.

“Yes or no, what do you mean by ‘it’?” The girl was dissatisfied with his answer.

Baili Qingyi pondered for a moment: "What do you think defines a person of the martial world?"

"People who fight and kill all day long, spouting about chivalry and justice, but do nothing productive or good deeds," the girl replied flatly.

"...That's a novel idea, but it's not without merit."

"So, are you a member of the martial arts world?"

Baili Qingyi smiled and said, "Yes."

Are you being hunted down?

"Hmm." He couldn't very well tell her that he was seriously injured in his battle with Yu Zongdao, nor could he tell her that his injuries flared up while he was passing through Yunshan Mountain, causing him to lose his balance and fall from the mountaintop. "And you, young lady? Why are you alone in these mountains?"

"I came here to soak in the hot springs." But halfway through her soak, a pervert fell from the sky and soiled her hot spring water.

Baili Qingyi's heart skipped a beat: "Miss, could it be that I fell in while you were soaking in the hot spring?"

"What do you think?" The girl glanced at him sideways, her expression indifferent, but Baili Qingyi felt a chill run down his spine.

"I'm really sorry, young lady." Baili Qingyi gritted his teeth. He had encountered many infatuated female warriors who wanted to create some kind of accident to make him take responsibility, but this time, no matter what, it didn't seem like an accident created by this young girl. It was his fault no matter how you looked at it.

"Is a simple 'sorry' all it takes?"

"...How would you like me to make amends, young lady?" Does this mean I really have to offer myself in return this time?

The girl suddenly turned around and flashed him a big smile. The smile was dazzling and carried a hint of wickedness.

"You are quite beautiful."

Baili Qingyi was momentarily scorched by her smile. "Not bad, not bad."

"Let me tease you a little."

"..." He thought he had misheard.

“Miss, flirting seems to be something that can only happen between a man and a woman. If it’s a woman flirting with a man…” he tried to explain with difficulty.

"Why? Why?" the girl cried out indignantly. "Why should women be the only ones to be teased?" She scrutinized Baili Qingyi, grinned, and reached out to lift his chin: "Beauty, give me a smile."

Baili Qingyi finally realized that he had encountered a female rogue.

The girl stroked her chin, deep in thought. "No, no, I should write a lewd poem instead." She shook her head, muttering to herself in distress, "This topic is so unfair! I could easily go and flirt with Cen Lu, and I'm afraid Cen Lu would be more than willing to strip naked and hand me over to her. But, to flirt with Brother Feng Lang, I just can't bring myself to do it. Brother Feng Lang is so innocent."

Baili Qingyi shivered slightly: "Miss, I... am also very naive."

The girl gave him a lewd smile: "You don't need to scream. Even if you do, no one will pay attention to you. You've already been drugged with my family's top-grade sleeping potion, and you can't move a muscle." She stretched out her wolfish claws and began to grope Baili Qingyi all over.

Touch her face, touch her chest, touch her neck, what else? She thought for a moment, then brought her small mouth to the beautiful woman's thin lips with their clear lines.

"Girl!" Baili Qingyi calmly stopped her, "What did you just mention... an obscene poem?"

The girl paused, then withdrew her attack.

“That’s right, writing poetry is more important.” She looked around, stood up, put her hands behind her back in a serious manner, and paced back and forth, shaking her head as she did so.

"Go to the pine trees on the mountain, the moon shines over the Xiang River, a jade boat and a silver sword, a Yue maiden lingers three times. Clouds steal dew, phoenix shadows hang low over jade, red lips and green robes, a beautiful woman pauses." She recited with each step, then turned her head and smiled at him: "Is it still considered elegant?"

Baili Qingyi nodded, genuinely surprised. He hadn't expected this young girl to possess such extraordinary literary talent, able to compose an erotic poem with such elegance and freshness, all while speaking fluently and effortlessly.

"Young lady, you are very talented." He praised her, then suddenly and unexpectedly leaped up from the ground and pressed on the girl's vital points.

"You...you weren't supposed to be unable to move, were you?" the girl exclaimed in terror, realizing that she was the one who was now unable to move.

Baili Qingyi sat on the ground, panting. Even the most potent sedative couldn't suppress him for long; it was only his severe injuries that had held him back. He had to gather his strength for a long time to complete this series of actions. This little girl was too reckless; he couldn't let her run wild.

"Young lady, do you know how lecherous thieves are dealt with in the Jiangnan region?" His breathing was disordered, and the threat in his words was still quite obvious.

"What should we do?" the girl asked, trying to remain calm.

"We caught the lecher, stripped him naked, tattooed two big characters on his chest: 'Lecher,' and then hung him on the city gate for public display for three days and three nights." He deliberately threatened her. Someone had to teach this audacious girl a lesson.

The girl remained silent.

Baili Qingyi sensed something was wrong, so she leaned over to examine her expression and discovered that she was sobbing softly.

"Hey, why are you crying?"

The girl glared at him fiercely with tear-filled eyes: "You were the one who spied on me while I was bathing first, and instead of blaming you, I kindly saved you, treated your wounds, and found you something to eat. I never expected that you would repay kindness with enmity! You...you are the real lecher!"

"Uh..." Baili Qingyi was speechless. Every word the girl said made sense, and it seemed that he was in the wrong first. He looked at her red and swollen eyes, and a pang of pain shot through his heart.

"I...I was just trying to joke with you...and you actually...you actually hit me..." The girl felt even more aggrieved.

The more he thought about it, the more he realized he was in the wrong. Baili Qingyi knew she was just putting on a pitiful act to trick him into releasing her pressure points, but inexplicably, he couldn't bear to see her crying so pitifully.

“Miss, you are right. It is all my fault.” Baili Qingyi lowered her head and admitted her mistake. “It was I who ruined your reputation. Although it was unintentional, I cannot shirk my responsibility.”

The girl sniffed, her face showing complete agreement.

“Miss, may I ask your name? Once I recover from my injuries, I will personally visit your home to apologize and also propose marriage to your parents. I will never let you suffer the slightest grievance.”

"Huh?" The girl was completely petrified, both physically and mentally. Her tears stopped abruptly, leaving only two strands of tears hanging on her cheeks. She looked at Baili Qingyi as if she were a monster.

"A marriage proposal... is that unnecessary?" The girl seemed to have lost her tongue.

"That's for sure. May I ask which noble family you are from?" Baili Qingyi asked seriously.

"I... am not a member of the martial arts world."

Baili Qingyi was somewhat surprised, as he thought only people from the martial arts world could raise such an unconventional daughter.

"Then, young lady, please tell me the location of your residence."

"You...you release the pressure points first." The girl struggled for a moment.

Baili Qingyi obediently released her pressure points. "Oh, I forgot to mention, my surname is Baili, my given name is Qingyi, I've lived in Jiangnan for generations, I'm twenty-one years old, and I still have an elderly father and three younger brothers." He paused, as if thinking of adding something else.

"Why are you explaining this so clearly?" The girl blushed.

"I think that if we are going to spend our lives together, I should let the girl get to know me first."
