Chapter 9: Beautiful Master, You're So Ruthless

  "Idiot, does the world really have that kind of medicine? And it's your turn to take it?" Mu Ruo said bluntly to me. "This is a kind of drug in pharmacology that stimulates genetic changes and alters some physical qualities. After you take it, at least it can alleviate some pain."

  "Relieve suffering?" I have a bad feeling about this.

  "Here is hell, especially for someone like you who has never been trained." Mu said to me with a devilish gaze.

  "Is taking this medicine just to alleviate suffering?"

  "Of course not, you will gradually feel it later." Mu Ruo explained, "The pharmacology in the United States is one of the best in the world. They study this pharmacology to make people's physique stronger and more ferocious like animals. If they can be sent to the battlefield, those soldiers may not be invincible, but they will intimidate countless people."

  "Are those strongmen in American movies real?"

  "It's true, but somewhat exaggerated. In ancient times, Xiang Yu had the strength to pull a thousand catties, can you imagine that? But our people, after taking this pill, can achieve it." Mu Ruo said slowly.

  "You just said eating this thing can make people more ferocious?" I asked.

  Mu Ruo looked at me with slightly narrowed eyes and asked: "Do you know how much this thing costs?"

  I shook my head.

  "This is a top-grade medicinal pill, worth 50 million." Mu Ruo said slowly.

  I almost spat out a mouthful of blood.

  50 million dollars for one pill?

  Are you kidding me?

  But Mu Ruo's expression was very serious.

  "Dollars," Mu Ruo continued.

  My lips trembled and I couldn't speak.

  "Five hundred million US dollars is almost four billion RMB now." I swallowed my saliva, "Just let me take it like that?"

  Mu Ruo said: "So I'm saying Old Nine is sick in the head, and you're the one who's been fooled."

  What's going on here?

  If what Mu Rou said is true, why did Su Jiu cultivate me?

  Could it be... that old man didn't die, and he's really my old man? Otherwise, why would he treat me so well?

  No one is nice to you for no reason, I'm still very calm.

  "Eat up, start training."

  I picked up that blue pill, it looked so ordinary, and it cost 400 million, and I ate it?

  "Can I exchange some money for you?" I said with a smile, having four hundred million, I am now a high-ranking rich and handsome man, all the school flowers will come to me.

  "Hurry up, don't dawdle."

  I swallowed that pill.

  When I swallowed it, I felt very ordinary. I thought it would be like the one inside, and my whole body would start to heat up immediately, and then shout out loud that it's too hot. Then comes the growth of internal strength, from now on a high-ranking martial artist.

  Forget it, those things are all scams.

  It's been a minute and I still don't feel anything.

  "Alright, come with me." Mu Ruo said with a strange smile.

  Mu Ruo, I have arrived outside the wall of the backyard.

  What's with the plane? What brings you here?

  I was still thinking about the problem when Mu Ruo kicked off with her right foot and soared into the air, landing on the edge of the wall. She looked down at me from above: "Come up."

  I estimated the height of this wall, at least three and a half meters or more, how did this woman just jump up with one kick?

  Is she human or ghost?

  At the same time, her words left me speechless.

  If I could also fly up there, I would have dominated high school and been the top dog long ago.

  "You can try jumping," said Mu Ruo.

  I let out an "oh" and took a deep breath, then jumped up from where I was standing.

  During physical education class, the teacher tested our vertical jump height. I remember mine was around 70, which is considered average.

  But when I jumped up, I suddenly found that my body had become much lighter. From the previous jump height of 70 cm to over one meter high.

  I landed and I couldn't believe what I was seeing when I looked at myself.

  Is it over 2 meters? Isn't that the same as those NBA stars?

  My grass, is this the magic brought by that pill I just took?

  It's still better to be expensive.

  "Looks like your physical condition is quite poor, and the medicine hasn't fully stimulated its efficacy yet." Mu Ruo said, her body floating down to land gently in front of me.

  I am envious, jealous and resentful.

  "Let's go."

  Before I could say anything, Mu Rou threw me out like trash with one hand.

  At that moment in mid-air I shouted out loud "I'm grass".

  It was just a breath of time, and with a thud, I heavily fell outside the wall.

  "How are you?"

  Mu Ruo's voice rang out.

  "My grass, although I can't beat you, do you have to treat me like this?" I got up in a huff and said, throwing it away without my consent.

  "What can you do to me even if I treat you like this?" Mu Ruo looked at me with a disdainful gaze.

  "I... " I couldn't say it, could I defeat him with words?

  Damn it, this detestable woman.

  "Does it hurt?" Mu Ruo asked.

  "Of course it hurts, that's almost four meters!" I replied subconsciously. No, that's not right. I was shocked immediately. I'm just an ordinary person, if I fell from a height of four meters, shouldn't my legs be broken or something? Why didn't anything happen to me? And when I fell down, didn't even a few ribs break, and wasn't there any blood spilling out of my brain?

  Mu Ruo turned around and left.

  "It's really weird." I shook my head and looked up at the surrounding wall, saying complicatedly, "I'm really fine."

  I quickly caught up with Mu Ruo.

  After a few minutes, we arrived in the lush forest.

  What did she bring me here for?

  Desolate and cold? Want to have a wild battle with me here? I'd love to.

  I am thinking beautifully in my heart.

  Some women look very cold and distant, but in their hearts they are passionate and sultry.

  Does Master Mu look like this kind of person?

  I'm a little excited.

  Mu Ruo made another swift motion and landed elegantly on a branch above me, then gazed down at me: "Your training has begun."

  "What?" I asked, "Training what?"

  My wonderful idea just flew away, aren't you here to have a wild battle with me?

  Mu took out a flute and put it to his lips, blowing out a melodious sound.

  Are there still people who play the flute these days?

  I listened to the pleasant sound of the flute, and thought, what is Mu Rou's identity after all? High martial arts skills, good-looking, and can play the flute? Does she have a boyfriend already?

  Soon, I heard another faint and strange sound, as if something was crawling on the ground amidst fallen leaves.

  "Your training instructor has arrived," said Mu Ruo.

  "Where?" I turned around and this time it was even more terrifying than seeing the Tibetan Mastiff and Shepherd Dog earlier.

  I took a few steps back, my voice trembling, my teeth chattering: "Master, beautiful Master, you...you're not joking, are you?"

  Snake.

  Many snakes are crawling over from all sides.

  There are two-meter-long snakes, nameless small snakes, and thin snakes. There are also adult arm-thick snake bodies. The colors of the snakes are also varied. In short, looking at them can scare people to death.

  Normally seeing one or two snakes doesn't scare me much, but if a group of snakes appears in front of me, I'd be superman if I wasn't scared to death.

  I reckon even Superman would be shocked and frightened by so many things.

  And I don't know if these snakes are poisonous or not. But I guess they must be, as there seem to be black mambas and mountain peaks inside that I saw on Animal Planet.

  Every snake is staring at me with its beady eyes, as if I have become their prey.

  "Master, don't! You're destroying the country's fine flowers. I don't want to die!" I shouted loudly, wanting to climb up the tree where Mu Ruo was standing.

  "This is your best training method, Ninth Master has already told you before, this is a one-way road, you have no turning back. Mu Ruo said coldly to me from above, "You'd better run fast and force out the medicinal properties you ate earlier. Oh, I forgot to tell you, the pill you took earlier contains many animal genes, lions, tigers, snakes and so on."

  As soon as I heard this, I understood what she meant by stimulating the ferocity of animals earlier. It turns out that various animal blood is used here.

  Doesn't my blood contain many animal genes?

  I have become an animal expert.

  Mu Ruo started playing the flute.

  I still have a talent for running, I was the 100-meter champion in junior high school. But soon I found that there is also a green snake on the tree, can snakes climb trees too? It must be Master Mu Ru's ghost.

  I came down with a whoosh and ran away with a swish of my skirt.

  I ran fast, those snakes also chased after me quickly, when I looked back, they were surrounding me from all sides.
