Chapter 19 – Why Won’t You Catch Me Every Time (2)

This acknowledgment made Mo Linyuan sigh weakly. He held her up with a complex look, bending over to pat the non-existent dust on her skirt, whispering.

“Did you know that you almost fell?”

Eventually, Ye Mu removed her sight from the kite to look at him. She asked curiously, “Weren’t you able to catch me? I didn’t fall, so it’s okay!”

Mo Linyuan lowered his eyes and whispered, “But I won’t catch you every time. You have to be careful yourself.”

When Ye Mu heard his words, she determinedly looked at him. Giving him her full attention, she placed both hands on the sides of her waist, “Why won’t you catch me every time?”

She had asked him in such a righteous way. As if she was saying that he had to be good to her, even if she had been bad to him before. It was such a childish question, even more coming from a dumpling.

But this didn’t make him feel hatred for her at all. On the contrary, he felt that at this moment, she was so cute. Enough for him to have the impulsive desire to hold her in his arms and pinch her chubby cheeks.

‘Why won’t you catch me every time?’

Mo Linyuan was at a loss, and his thoughts were disoriented. Meanwhile, Xiaolang shouted for Ye Mu, “Young lady! Come and fly the kite!”

“Coming!” Ye Mu heard Xiaolang calling for her and immediately broke free from Mo Linyuan, who was still mulling about the words to say, and ran towards Ye Xiaolang.

Mo Linyuan couldn’t help but feel a little annoyed. He looked at Ye Xiaolang, who was currently around Ye Mu, pulling the coil for her. And for the first time, he felt that he was quite an irksome presence in his eyes.

For Ye Mu, she thought her actions weren’t earth-shattering enough to garner other people’s attention, but the people in the general’s residence were extremely flabbergasted! The bloodthirsty and cruel Ye missy has completely changed demeanour. Now, she was not fond of killing anymore, and instead liked to play as a despot! What fantastic news!

Despite what other people might think if they knew she was raising the future emperor, when Ye Mu closes the door to start his training, she had always placed emphasis on the proper way to raise an emperor.

It goes without saying that Mo Linyuan should have an all-round development of three important things: ethics, intelligence and physique. That’s exactly right! After all, a person who becomes emperor for many years to come, shouldn’t mature as a tyrant under her care.

And for Ye Xiaolang, she thought it was best to make him learn martial arts. After all, in this chaotic world, no matter how strong the mouth is, it is not as big as the fist.

But that’s the million-dollar question. How will they be able to practice martial arts?

Her techniques weren’t bad if she trained her body once again. But in this world, it’s not considered as the best option when there was a huge difference in might when one uses internal martial arts. Moreover, the bodies of the people in this place might have different core structures from the people in her world.

The humans in this world are born with a natural disposition for internal energy.

As long as one cultivates his Qi and opens the meridians, one can practice internal martial arts. However, many good ancient skills have already been lost…

Perhaps, the male lead doesn’t have the secret book of martial arts yet?

With this thought in mind, Ye Mu secretly called out to Mo Linyuan at night.

“Young lady?”

Mo Linyuan didn’t know what pressing matter Ye Mu was going to tell him that she would call him so late. But he knew one thing, and that she would not harm him in the slightest.

“Shh!” Ye Mu told him to keep his voice down and said, “Just follow me closely!”

Then two people moved stealthily, trekking towards the most remote place of general’s residence.

Mo Linyuan was behind Ye Mu, and he could clearly see when she would curl up and walk alongside the corners of the wall. Doesn’t she know that this was her own home? But like a little mouse, she would shrink her presence. For the second time, Ye Mu’s adorable appearance made him smile.

When Ye Mu turned to look at her back, she saw Mo Linyuan’s smile; in the bright moonlight framed by rockery, he was standing dressed in linen and grey, his delicate and handsome face amused.

Looking more like an ethereal fairy than the brilliant but serious emperor described in the book.
