Chapter 1339 -55: Red Sleeves!

The figure moved with nimble steps; dressed as a maid, she wore a striking red dress and swift deerskin boots. Her face was rather stern, radiating a heroic aura, particularly because she stood a head taller than most men, causing those around her to instinctively look upwards.

At that moment, the figure stood before the small courtyard gate, her brow slightly furrowed, seeming hesitant.

However, she soon stepped forward and knocked on the door.

Clang, clang, clang!

The metal knocker struck the metal plate, sending a crisp sound far and wide.

Three knocks in a row.

The first knock paused for a breath, the two that followed were consecutive.

After repeating the sequence once more, the figure stopped, standing quietly outside the courtyard door to await a response from the master.

After about ten seconds, the door opened.

Dou Bao appeared behind the door, wearing an apron.

“Who are you?”

Dou Bao looked carefully at the woman in front of him, realizing he didn’t recall her from his memory, and immediately asked in confusion.

“I am Hong Xiu, the maidservant of the young lady.”

The woman quickly introduced herself.

“So it’s Miss Hong Xiu.”

“Is there something you need?”

Dou Bao knew of Hong Xiu, the maidservant who willingly became the decoy for Cui Long Nu to divert some pursuers.

Though it turned out to be a false alarm, at the time, Dou Bao was quite impressed by her actions, and Cui Long Nu frequently mentioned this ‘Sister Hong Xiu.’

Clearly, the two had a very good relationship.

As a result, a smile appeared on Dou Bao’s face.

Although their master had become a Guest Elder of the Si Hai Bang, this was still the Si Hai Bang’s territory, and Dou Bao was well aware of how things should be done here.

She definitely wouldn’t cause trouble for their master.

So, as a smile appeared on her face, Dou Bao stepped aside and invited Hong Xiu into the courtyard.

“What brings Miss Hong Xiu to visit so hastily?”

Dou Bao asked.

Given the relationship between Hong Xiu and Cui Long Nu, Cui Long Nu had only returned today, and they ought to be catching up with each other.

Yet Hong Xiu had come here instead; Dou Bao couldn’t believe this was just a casual visit.

In fact, it was indeed more than that.

As soon as Dou Bao asked, hesitation again appeared on Hong Xiu’s face.

After several seconds, the maidservant gritted her teeth and said.

“Can I see Master Mu?”

“I have urgent matters to discuss with him.”

Seeing Hong Xiu in a state of struggle, hesitating, Dou Bao nodded her head.

“Miss Hong Xiu, you wait by the stone stool, I’ll go ask the master.”

Dou Bao didn’t make any promises.

She knew their master had a habit of retreating into closed-door meditation regularly. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

About this, Dou Bao had no complaints.

She remembered clearly the words her father had spoken—

‘Retreating into closed-door meditation is a rare and valuable thing; each time represents a summary of current stages, each time is an opportunity for strength enhancement. Unfortunately, after meeting your mother, I no longer needed to retreat.’

‘Is it because you need to cook, clean the house, wash clothes, and carry washbasins for foot baths every day?’

‘Of course not!’

‘These are all cultivation!’

‘Do you understand?’

‘It is precisely because of such cultivation that I, your father, have been steadily growing stronger!’

Saying such words, her father flipped an omelet, added some soy sauce, and skewered a few pieces of meat, then gleefully ran towards the bedroom while shouting: ‘Wife, time for a midnight snack!’

While at that time, she was left to clean up the aftermath.

Although thinking back, it also felt strange, but Dou Bao knew her father wouldn’t deceive her.

Closing off in meditation must be a beneficial thing.

It’s also a way to quickly gain strength.

Otherwise, how could their master grow so powerful so quickly?

It was naturally due to meditation retreats.

Dou Bao entered the small building.

Hong Xiu sat patiently on the stone stool, waiting.

Her eyes glanced slightly over the small courtyard, then swiftly withdrew.

Something… feels off?

Why does it feel like danger is everywhere?

Hong Xiu tried her best to maintain calm, but the faint danger hidden around made her uneasy.

Hong Xiu knew of this courtyard.

Since it was a place for honored guests to stay, there were no traps.

The guards around were naturally tight, but they wouldn’t pose a threat to her.

As for Master Mu inside the building she’s visiting?

The two haven’t met yet, so it couldn’t be considered dangerous.

Moreover, the threatening aura wasn’t coming from any specific place.

‘What is happening?’

The sense of unease made Hong Xiu’s hand, hidden in her sleeve, rapidly clench, subconsciously wanting to leave.

But thinking of the purpose of this trip, she had to remain seated here, waiting.

The entrance of two sour and sweet ‘Small Creation Pills’ instantly brought a smile to Jason’s eyes.

What is more joyful than eating?

Naturally, it’s eating two servings.

Satiation level and Excitement of Feast were the same as before, 450 points and 4 points respectively.

However, the attribute increase showed a downward trend.

The increases were +0.2, +0.1 Constitution respectively.

“Indeed, the effectiveness of the medicine gradually diminishes.”

“The first pill had still 0.3 Constitution increase.”

“I just don’t know whether it’s the same medicine diminishing, or the overall similar types of medicine diminishing.”

“If it’s the former…”

Jason thought while seated in the chair.

If it’s the former, without a doubt, it’s yet another method for Jason to quickly increase his strength.

Attribute point increases are undoubtedly the fastest short-cut for gaining strength.

Especially with the method where consuming a ‘great medicine’ can increase attributes — Jason truly loves it.
