Suppressing the Protagonist at the Start to Seize the Heroine-Chapter 144

Chapter 144: Traceless Snow Steps

Su Lin gently set Qin Jiuyue down on a large rock under the moonlight, where they could see the cityscape of Donghai in the distance.

“Wow, what a beautiful moonlight,” Qin Jiuyue exclaimed in awe.

Su Lin, being a perfect gentleman, let go of her to allow her a better view of the moon. “Still troubled now?” he asked softly.

Qin Jiuyue shook her head and then looked at Su Lin, “Su Lin, was that qinggong or wushu you used to fly with me just now?”

Su Lin smiled, “It’s both wushu and qinggong.”

“But I’ve seen wushu before, and although practitioners can jump over ten meters high, they usually leave a crater on the ground. You’re different.”

“You’re elegant and effortless, barely needing any force to fly off,” Qin Jiuyue curiously remarked, her eyes fixed on Su Lin. She was amazed by the experience and felt like a heroine from a martial arts film.

“In fact, it’s achievable in wushu, but the practitioners you’ve seen haven’t mastered it fully. To my knowledge, at the Earth Immortal level, one can walk in the air without needing any support,” Su Lin explained.

“Wow, walking in the air!” Qin Jiuyue’s eyes lit up with longing, then she looked at Su Lin with an intense gaze, “Su Lin…”

Su Lin, wary, asked, “What’s with that look?”

“Hehe, I want to become your disciple. Can you teach me that qinggong?” Qin Jiuyue asked earnestly.

Su Lin waved his hand dismissively, “That’s impossible. I won’t teach it.”

“Don’t be so quick to refuse. Whatever conditions you have, as long as I can meet them,” Qin Jiuyue promised earnestly.

Su Lin shook his head, “Qin Jiuyue, you must know the rules of wushu. One cannot casually take disciples or impart martial arts skills. If I hadn’t seen you in such distress, I wouldn’t have taken you flying. Don’t push your luck.”

Qin Jiuyue realized the brevity of her acquaintance with Su Lin. She blushed, recalling how she had embraced him and the feel of his hand on her. Now that she had calmed down, she understood the boldness of her actions.

Feeling a bit forlorn, she began, “Right, such skills can’t be passed on casually. I’m sorry, Su Lin, for what I said earlier…”

“No need to apologize. Everyone acts impulsively sometimes. I did too, by taking you for a roller coaster ride. Did you find it thrilling?”

Her face flushed, Qin Jiuyue grinned, “Thrilling, very thrilling.”

“Do you like it?”

“Very much.”

Su Lin beamed, “Remember our agreement. Don’t tell anyone about my martial arts skills, or I won’t take you flying again.”

Qin Jiuyue gasped, “You mean… you’ll take me flying again in the future?”

“If I have time, of course.” Su Lin knew about Qin Jiuyue’s extraordinary physique and her later entry into the world of cultivation. She quickly transformed from an ordinary person to a fairy.

Overjoyed, Qin Jiuyue hugged Su Lin tightly, “Yeah, that’s fantastic!” She let go quickly, realizing her forwardness, but her phone rang before she could apologize.

“Ai, it’s the housekeeper’s call, they must be urging me to come back.” Her face twisted in frustration, she wanted to spend more time with Su Lin, maybe even fly a bit more.

“Is it Qin Gong? I’ve met him. He knows Wushu. Maybe you can ask him to teach you.”

Qin Jiuyue shook her head, “I don’t want to learn his style. When he jumps, he can shatter a fake mountain. Not for me.”

“Hahaha!! Then there’s nothing that can be done, go ahead and answer the phone first.”

“Okay!!”

After the call, Qin Jiuyue looked at Su Lin with a distressed expression, “Su Lin, can you take me home? If I don’t return soon, my family will send someone to look for me.”

Su Lin nodded, “Sure! I’ll give you another fly, hold onto my waist.”

“Okay!” Qin Jiuyue shyly agreed, then hugged Su Lin’s waist, burying her head in his chest. But her eyes were wide open, watching the ground below.

“Taking off~!”

With the sensation of weightlessness, Qin Jiuyue let out a scream again. After flying around the small hill for a while, Su Lin headed back to where they had parked.

After landing, Qin Jiuyue’s legs were still shaking.

Seeing this, Su Lin joked, “Do you want me to drive?”

Qin Jiuyue nodded, “Su Lin, don’t make fun of me. Although I’ve always had these ideas, I’ve never played like this before. Today was the first time I did something this thrilling.”

“Don’t worry, I won’t laugh at you…” In fact, Su Lin himself was quite exhilarated. He had only recently acquired qinggong techniques. If it weren’t for the system’s guidance, he might have crashed into a tree on his first flight.

“Do you want to experience the thrill of racing?” Su Lin asked mischievously.

“You can race?” freёnovelkiss.com

Su Lin casually replied, “Just at the level of an international racer.”

“Monster! How did you achieve this level of skill with just a small business owner as your father? Just speaking of wushu, how did you reach such a level with a few billion?”

Qin Jiuyue knew that practicing wushu required expensive medicinal baths and dietary supplements. Hence, large families could only afford to maintain a few martial arts experts.

“How old are you to be such a martial arts expert? How much money did you have to spend?”

“Ah, Jiuyue, I must admit there are gaps between people. Like me, learning wushu is as simple as eating and drinking, so I don’t need any medicinal baths or dietary supplements.”

“Uh… okay.” Qin Jiuyue looked at Su Lin’s profile and sighed, wondering whether it was fortunate or unfortunate to meet someone like him.

She knew Su Lin had a girlfriend, that tall and beautiful girl from today. Compared to her, she felt a bit inferior.

Yet, within just a few hours of meeting Su Lin, she felt an inexplicable attraction to him. If Su Lin knew Qin Jiuyue’s thoughts, he would be surprised; after all, he was the villain.

The car stopped a hundred meters away from the Qin family mansion. Su Lin decided not to drive in.

Qin Jiuyue looked at Su Lin worriedly, “If I drive away, what will you do?”

Su Lin laughed heartily, “You forgot, I can fly!!!”

“Oh right, how could I forget that.”

Qin Jiuyue felt silly for asking such a question, her face turning red, unable to look at Su Lin. She realized she wasn’t as sharp-witted in front of him as she usually was.

“Alright, go on then.”

“Okay.” Qin Jiuyue started the car. She instinctively looked back, but Su Lin was already gone.

“Ah… he just flew away, showing off his qinggongs.”
