33 Speak of the Devil!
When Jin Wu returned to the room, Yu Linling, Lin Meng, and Long Zi were gone. Only MU Yu was left inside, she looked at Jin Wu with shyness in her eyes. Jin Wu looked at her strangely, "Where did everyone go?" Mu Yu cleared her throat, "You've been inside for 6 hours."
Jin Wu was stunned and looked at her before changing his words, "Unfortunately, I had to come back to your ugly ass…" Mu Yu froze and she glared at him, shouting "Clint, I'll flay your skin!" Jin Wu had his hands on his hips, laughing "Come on, witch. I don't believe you can touch me!" Mu Yu lunged at him and tackled him to the ground, rolling into a dresser.
They started wrestling on the ground as Long Zi meditated in his room.
His eyes were closed and he caught a lamp without looking, putting it back on the dresser as he continued meditating, used to the commotion.
After Jin Wu and Mu Yu were done wrestling, they laid on the ground.
Jin Wu said "Roof?" Mu Yu replied, "I'm already there." before turning into a puff of smoke.
Jin Wu was stunned and grit his teeth, this bitch was showing off her realm! Damn it!
Damn it all!
He didn't cultivate Qi 5 times to be embarrassed by a woman!
No! He must send her back to the stone age where she belonged!
He sat up and flailed around like a child, pouting angrily. He needed to get stronger faster or he would be living under her pomegranate skirt forever!
But for now…
He stood up and obediently went to the roof, laying down next to Mu Yu. She cleared her throat, shuffling closer to him. Jin Wu looked at the stars as Mu Yu's small hand touched his. His lips twitched up into a small smile as he grabbed her hand. She coughed and slowly leaned her head on his shoulder.
He shifted his shoulder, making her more comfortable.
Neither said a word and spent the rest of the night in a comfortable silence.
The next day
Jin Wu and Mu Yu followed Long Zi to the sky ship, Yu Linling was waiting on the ship and waved over happily. They walked over and Elder Tu looked at everyone, he glanced at the trio of Long Zi, Jin Wu, and Mu Yu before passing over them with a bit of a strange expression.
He vaguely felt that these people were incompatible with the world, it was a strange sense of repulsion. The main reason was because they were too strong! Elder Tu wasn't used to it at all… He decided to speak to the Sect Master when they got back…
Just as the Sky ship was about to take off, Lin Meng flew over quickly, shouting "Wait wait!" Everyone looked over and Lin Meng let out a breath, smiling "Thank you, guys! Come back to Red Cloud City whenever you want! I'll come visit the Heavenly Sword Sect when I have time!"
Jin Wu smiled and waved at Lin Meng, "See ya." Lin Meng smiled happily, waving goodbye as the SKy ship took off and flew away.
The group didn't face any crazy anomalies on the road. Unbelievably, they didn't encounter any sky robbers. Jin Wu was a little confused, looking off the sky ship while scratching his head.
He turned to the side and said "Where are the bandits?" Long Zi's lips twitched and Mu Yu asked "You want us to be robbed?" Jin Wu rolled his eyes at her, saying "Everyone knows that you get robbed when coming back from a major competition or event!"
Mu Yu rolled her eyes and said "Not always!"
Suddenly, a boat appeared in front of them!
Elder Tu frowned, "Bold!" The boat stopped and a man with a scar over his face, holding a machete walked out, shouting "Hand over your valuables and women!"
Jin Wu froze and Mu Yu glared at him, "Well, well, well! Look what you did!" Jin Wu defended himself, "I didn't do anything!" Mu Yu retorted, "You literally spoke them into existence!" Jin Wu shouted, "I did not! Stop slandering me!"
Long Zi's lips twitched as Yu Linling looked excited, "I've never been robbed before!" Jin Wu and Mu yu looked at her with confused faces, Yu Linling smiled happily, "How exciting!"
Mu Yu ignored her and turned to Jin Wu, "You fix it!" Jin Wu grumbled and looked at the bandit, shouting "Hey, you!" The Bandit looked over and frowned, "Hm?" then he saw Mu Yu and Yu Linling, his eyes lit up and he opened his mouth.
Jin Wu rolled his eyes and said "Yeah, I know. Wow, look at those beauties, hand them over to me if you want to live. Let's move on from that, 'kay?" The bandit choked on his words and Jin Wu continued, "I challenge you to a one on one!"
The Bandit sneered and waved his machete around, saying "A brat who hasn't even grown his hairs dares to challenger Lao Tzu?! You must be courting death!" Jin Wu looked physically ill, holding his stomach, "Oh god… I'm gonna die from cringe…"
Mu Yu burst out laughing before covering her mouth.
The Bandit glared at Jin Wu and said "I accept, brat!" as he made all swords of flashy machete movements. Just as he was showing off, there was a loud bang and the Bandit dropped to the ground with a hole in his head.
Everyone was dumbfounded and Jin Wu held a revolver that was smoking at the barrel. He looked at the dead bandit and said in surprise, "Hey! I couldn't resist, this guy was just standing there…" Long Zi covered his face in embarrassment.
Yu Linling looked at the revolver, asking in shock, "What is this weapon?!" Mu Yu looked at the dead bandit, sighing "What an idiot… Really, who shows off flashy movements before fighting?"
The bandit boat suddenly fell from the sky and crashed into the ground, exploding into flames.
Everyone was speechless…
Jin Wu cleared his throat, "Ahem! Nothing to see here everyone…" Elder Tu's scalp was numb looking at the revolver, he drove the ship back to the Sect quickly.
Yu Linling looked at the revolver and asked again, "What is that, Junior brother Wu?" Jin Wu replied while handing the revolver over, "A gun." Yu Linling held the Revolver and scratched her head in confusion, "A spear?"
Jin Wu's lips twitched, "No, a Gun!" Yu Linling looked at him with a cute and confused expression, "Really a spear?" Jin Wu almost coughed up blood, shouting "NO! A GUN!" Yu Linling quieted down, looking at the revolver before muttering quietly, "But… it doesn't look like a spear…"
Jin Wu turned and jumped off the side of the sky ship, making Yu Linling speechless.
Long Zi looked at the revolver, rubbing his chin, "Very interesting. How does it work, junior brother Wu?" Jin Wu flew back up on a sword with a gloomy look on his face, "The hammer on the back of the gun reels back before striking a metal piece inside the ignition mechanism. This lights a spark that ignites the gunpowder, propelling a small piece of metal at 1700 mph."
Long Zi nodded with closed eyes and said "I don't understand at all." Jin Wu's lips twitched, Mu Yu laughed at his depressed look. Jin Wu sat down on the sword, hovering in the air.
He waved his hand and a whiteboard appeared behind him.
Jin Wu took out a marker, drawing on the whiteboard, "The rough mechanism works like this. The Hammer strikes the back of the bullet which ignites the Gunpowder inside, in turn the bullet shoots out from the shell, travels through the barrel, propelling through the air at 1700 mph. This speed is nearly 1000 mph faster than the speed of sound which means that before you even hear a bang, you've been hit."
Jin Wu tapped on the whiteboard, adding "Which leads to the common saying; If you hear a gunshot, it wasn't meant for you. Do you understand?" Long Zi looked at the whiteboard full of drawings and equations, he nodded slightly, really understanding!
However this was mostly because of his immense experience of tens of thousands of years. Really, this was more of a weapons refining problem, rather than an alchemy problem.
However, Long Zi also watched all of Jin Wu's livestream videos. The main reason was because he found out that mathematics increased the quality of Alchemy by countless times!
The main reason for this was because the equations and calculations proposed by Jin Wu didn't exist in the Cultivation world. Seeing that Alchemy was a very precise process, these mathematical equations were indispensable to success. Since using them in his Alchemy process, Long Zi experienced an increase in efficient upwards of 45%!
That was unimaginable!
Mathematical Alchemy Refining, too powerful!
Even the quality of the outputted pills were skyrocketing!
However, that was only for Long Zi… Yu Linling stared at the whiteboard and her brain was blank. She didn't understand anything. She was still trying to find the spear on the whiteboard, what was this alien drawing?
Suddenly, she had an epiphany!
Yu Linling tapped on the whiteboard, right on the barrel of the gun, asking excitedly, "Is this the spear, Junior Brother?!" Jin Wu looked at Yu Linling blankly, her expression was one of 'Quickly praise my genius!' He was dumbfounded as Mu Yu laughed at him, "Wow, Linling! You're a genius! Hahahahah!"
Yu Linling's face was flushed with excitement and pride, turns out she was also a super genius in alien concepts!
Jin Wu shivered and had a strong impulse to strangle Yu Linling to death on the spot…
