Rustle ——!
Footsteps approached from afar, and a Dragon Teeth team appeared in the small grove.
This small grove, adjacent to the camp’s hill, was utilized by Mo Yang for daily training grounds.
"No one here, let’s check over there." The Dragon Teeth team leader searched around and spoke to the other four.
After speaking, the five left.
They did not notice that in the spot they had just vacated, there were a pair of eagle-like eyes staring intently from a highly concealed place, camouflaged with various materials to blend seamlessly with the surroundings, making it hard to detect.
After a while, Mu Qingge appeared before him and said softly, "Come out."
Xuan Kui, who was camouflaging on the ground, suddenly stood up, causing leaves and branches to fall off him.
Aside from him, three or four others stood up nearby with similar appearances, distinguished only by the Dragon Tooth Guards’ insignia on them.
"As a sniper, the primary skill is learning to conceal yourself, even to the point of disappearing from others’ perception. You did well, but not well enough, since I still found you." Mu Qingge looked at them and said.
The five, including Xuan Kui, held their breaths, silent and attentive, seriously listening to Mu Qingge’s every word.
"In two days, the grand hunt will commence. I don’t have much time to let you adapt, so the best method is fight-to-learn. Therefore, remember the essentials of becoming a sniper." After speaking, Mu Qingge waved her hand, and five sniper rifles crafted from past life memories were neatly laid on the ground.
These sniper rifles operated similarly to the grenade guns she created, with bullets transformed from beast cores into energy.
In order to enhance this energy’s lethal and destructive power, Mu Qingge added some gunpowder.
Essentially, inside the sniper rifle is another magazine aside from extracting beast core energy, filled with prepared gunpowder. When the trigger is pulled, the energy converted from the beast core, wraps a certain amount of gunpowder, forming an energy bullet, shooting out from the barrel.
Its destructive power —
"Bang!" A gunshot rang out, and a spirit beast a thousand meters away suddenly had its head explode, turning into a mist of blood, its body collapsing.
Mu Qingge lowered the sniper rifle she held, turning to face the five standing behind her. Their expressions were of shock, their eyes filled with awe.
From such a distance, to manage a headshot, this lethality!
Including Xuan Kui, the five felt chills down their spines, realizing that if they mastered this skill, they could take heads from a thousand meters away.
This spirit beast’s power equaled that of humans at the Gray Realm Fifth Layer, far surpassing the cultivation of the five.
If encountered head-on, defeating it would be impossible.
However, sniping turns impossibility into possibility.
Xuan Kui’s eagle eyes were filled with tumultuous emotion, feeling at a loss for words to describe his current feelings.
"Any weapon is merely auxiliary, the most important is still your own cultivation. Teaching you sniping techniques is to enable your abilities for perfect release, so don’t rely too much on them, strengthen your self-cultivation while mastering sniping." Mu Qingge tossed the sniper rifle to one of the Dragon Tooth Guards.
Her clear eyes scanned the five before her, "I specially crafted sniper rifles for you, aside from Xuan Kui’s, the effective range of the other four is within three miles. Xuan Kui, due to your unique eyesight, your sniper rifle’s effective range is within eighty miles."
Upon Mu Qingge’s words, the four Dragon Tooth Guards inhaled sharply, while Xuan Kui straightened his back proudly.
"As a sniper, first understand your sniper rifle." Mu Qingge stood with hands behind her back, solemnly introducing the structure of their sniper rifles to the five.
This was a weapon she was familiar with from her past life, now teaching them, intertwined with unique emotions.
In this Otherworld, everyone cultivates, their five senses far better than ordinary people from her past life. Thus, sniper rifles modified based on past life principles were suited for use by people of this world.
Especially Xuan Kui’s, reaching the limit of her modifications.
Xuan Kui’s vision range is unobstructed within a hundred miles, and his sniper rifle’s effective range is eighty miles, indicating that once he masters this technique, everything within his view is as easy to capture as reaching into a bag.
If not for Xuan Kui’s sudden appearance, she would never have thought to spread sniping techniques in this Otherworld.
"Sniping also emphasizes one thing, analyzing wind speeds. Otherwise, the bullet shot may be affected by distance and wind speed, resulting in the apparent miss despite aiming accurately."
People of this world possibly have stronger acceptance abilities due to cultivation.
She spent the whole morning explaining sniper essentials.
Afterwards, she said, "Alright, train yourselves. Tomorrow I will inspect." With those words, she turned and left the small grove, heading towards the camp.
These days, she has been ’recuperating’ behind closed doors, not truly lying bedridden pretending to be ill. While at it, training Xuan Kui and four selected Dragon Tooth Guards in sniping was optimal.
Back at the camp, the remaining Dragon Tooth Guards were engaged in joint attack training. Mu Qingge stood on the training field watching for a while, then casually glanced at the main tent before her thoughts moved and she headed toward it.
She lifted the curtain and entered the main tent. Inside, she saw Si Mo standing there, looking out the window of the tent at the Dragon Tooth Guards’ training area.
"These combined attack tactics, did Ge’er come up with them on her own?" Si Mo asked as soon as Mu Qingge entered.
Mu Qingge, however, laughed and said, "Are you planning to hide in the main tent for a whole month, without seeing anyone?"
Si Mo looked at her with a grievance. "I’m waiting for Ge’er to introduce my identity."
Mu Qingge was startled; did Si Mo’s identity still need an introduction?
Then, she suddenly understood. After leaving Linchuan, more people had gathered around her, and these people didn’t know her identity as a woman, nor were they aware of the existence of Lord Mo.
Mu Qingge chuckled and said, "How about I just say you are my cousin?" She adopted the title Si Mo had used when traveling with her before.
Si Mo, however, shook his head and said, "I have to sleep here at night, so ’cousin’ wouldn’t be appropriate."
Uh...
Mu Qingge realized. This man was forcing her to acknowledge his identity, regardless of whether she was dressed as a man or not, she had to confirm this identity.
Her mouth twitched, and Mu Qingge, somewhat exasperated, said, "Got it."
She moved to stand beside Si Mo and replied to his earlier question, "These combined attack tactics were something I figured out on my own, but they’re still too simple. However, the concept of combined attack techniques is really difficult, and I still don’t have a clear approach in my mind."
Si Mo turned his eyes towards her, his amber eyes sparkling, and said, "Actually, the reason Dragon Tooth Guards can have such a situation of mutual understanding stems from their loyalty to you. Combined attack techniques don’t need to be numerous or flashy; they just need the most basic abilities."
"What are they?" Mu Qingge asked naively, like a small student.
"Attack and defense," Si Mo said with a smile.
"Attack, defense?" Mu Qingge’s eyes gradually brightened.
Si Mo continued, "When attacking, possess an incredibly powerful destructive force, strike with unwavering resolve, exert a force as strong as a thousand weights. When defending, be as solid as a wall, unmoved even when waves crash against you."
"I understand now!" Mu Qingge exclaimed with joy.
She paced back and forth in the tent, finally sitting down on the main seat in the tent, immersed in her own thoughts.
Si Mo did not disturb Mu Qingge, but sat down casually, watching her focused demeanor. People often say that a serious man is the most charming, but in truth, a focused woman is even more alluring.
Half an hour later, Mu Qingge suddenly stood up, her eyes bright, and said to Si Mo, "I’m going out for a bit."
Si Mo nodded lightly.
Mu Qingge vanished from his sight like a gust of wind.
When she reappeared, she was already in front of Mo Yang.
Mu Qingge’s sudden appearance startled Mo Yang. He quickly stood up and said to Mu Qingge, "Young Lord!"
Mu Qingge waved her hand and said to him, "Mo Yang, I understand now."
Mo Yang, puzzled, asked, "What does the Young Lord understand?"
"The combined attack techniques of the Dragon Tooth Guards shouldn’t be created by me. They should come from the heart, from you all, and involve either attack or defense," Mu Qingge said, looking into Mo Yang’s eyes and speaking each word deliberately.
Mo Yang’s eyes suddenly shrank, a look of shock appearing in his gaze.
He seemed to understand Mu Qingge’s meaning.
"Previously, I saw the willpower that the Dragon Tooth Guards gathered, which made me think that the combined attack techniques could be attempted. But I didn’t consider that this willpower comes from you, and only you know best how to utilize it. However, it’s okay; although we took a detour before, we’ve accumulated experience, and from here on, it will be up to you all," Mu Qingge said to Mo Yang.
"Young Lord, I understand. I’ll go gather the others right away," Mo Yang nodded heavily.
They couldn’t always rely on Mu Qingge; they had to learn to truly protect her through their own strength and fight for her!
...
When Mu Qingge returned to the main tent from Mo Yang’s place, she was momentarily stunned by the scene inside.
Si Mo, as usual, looked undisturbed. When he saw Mu Qingge return, he gave her a smile. This smile not only stunned the room’s other two occupants but also left them wondering.
They had finally seen a man whose appearance could rival their Young Master, but the question was, who was he? Why was he in the main tent?
Mu Qingge looked at Xie Ya and Xuan Ya, and asked, "When did you arrive?" She didn’t miss the trays filled with food in their hands.
It seemed they had already started helping with You He and Hua Yue’s tasks.
"Young Master."
"Young Master."
Seeing Mu Qingge, the two women inexplicably panicked.
"They just came in as you returned." Si Mo kindly explained.
Mu Qingge glared at him fiercely, then turned back and awkwardly coughed twice.
Mu Qingge pretended to be nonchalant as she walked over to the main seat and sat down, saying to Xuan Ya and Xie Ya, "Hmm, you’ve both seen him. You can call him Lord, he... is also mine."
’He is also mine.’
This sentence made Si Mo’s lips curl with a successful mischievous smile.
But then it vanished imperceptibly, and he frowned in dissatisfaction, wondering what the ’also’ meant in her words.
Is he the Young Master’s man?
Xie Ya and Xuan Ya were somewhat puzzled but did not ask further.
Instead, they adhered to orders and respectfully referred to Si Mo as ’Lord’.
"Alright, you two can leave now. Without my order, no need to come inside." Mu Qingge dismissed the two.
The two placed their trays on the table and as they were about to leave, Xie Ya suddenly asked, "Young Master, should we prepare accommodations for the Lord?"
"No need, he’ll stay here." Mu Qingge’s answer made Xuan Ya and Xie Ya blanch suddenly.
Xie Ya and Xuan Ya almost lost their souls as they walked out of the main tent, standing on the platform outside the main tent, still shaken.
"What exactly is the relationship between that Lord and the Young Master? What does ’also the Young Master’s’ mean?" Xuan Ya asked Xie Ya.
Xie Ya hid her inner panic and told her, "Sister, don’t overthink. We, along with Bai Xi, Yin Chen, Yuanyuan, Xuan Kui, Hua Yue, You He, and even the entire Dragon Tooth Guards, aren’t we all part of the Young Master?"
The logic seems to be that.
But—
"Then why does that Lord stay in the Young Master’s tent? No one ever stays in the Young Master’s tent." Xuan Ya queried again.
Xie Ya’s face turned unsightly as she said, "Perhaps they have important matters to discuss."
"Really? I’ll go ask You He and them." Xuan Ya said and walked down the platform.
While Xie Ya, with a complicated expression, glanced back towards the main tent once, bit her lip, and then quickly walked away.
Inside the main tent, Mu Qingge looked at Si Mo with an unhappy expression and said, "Still smiling."
Si Mo’s figure flashed, appearing beside Mu Qingge, holding her in his arms with a dangerous tone, "Little Ge’er, wouldn’t you like to explain to me what the ’also’ means?"
"What does it mean?" Mu Qingge feigned ignorance and replied, "Just the literal meaning! In this camp, who isn’t mine?"
Si Mo squinted his eyes with a half-smile, "So, Little Ge’er’s ’mine’ means this."
"It’s... mm..."
Mu Qingge’s words were forcefully stopped by Si Mo’s lips.
She widened her eyes, staring at Si Mo’s retaliatory kiss, unsure of what madness he was experiencing.
Just when she was about to suffocate from the kiss, suddenly, a voice came from outside the tent.
"Little Lord, it’s You He."
Mu Qingge suddenly pushed Si Mo aside, widening the distance between them. She fiercely wiped her swollen lips from the kiss and glared at Si Mo.
Si Mo chuckled, "Would your other people dare treat you like this?"
Mu Qingge was completely speechless, rarely bothering to argue with this petty man. She said to You He outside the door, "Come in."
You He lifted the curtain and entered. Upon seeing Si Mo, she was stunned for a moment and immediately saluted, "It’s really Lord Mo who has come, You He greets Lord Mo."
"Hmm." With You He always by Mu Qingge’s side, Si Mo wouldn’t be too cold towards such people.
After saluting, You He stood at the door and said to Mu Qingge, "Just now Xuan Ya came to me, saying Little Lord has a guest in the tent. They wanted to arrange accommodations but were refused by Little Lord, so I guessed a bit."
"Oh? They asked you?" Mu Qingge said playfully.
You He nodded, "I just responded to them and came to report to the lord."
"I understand. While Lord Mo is here, you all call him Lord, and there’s no need to explain anything to the outside." Mu Qingge replied casually.
You He smiled, nodded, and bowed to the two, "Then this servant will leave." She quickly exited the main tent.
"You don’t seem to trust those two very much," Si Mo said to Mu Qingge.
Mu Qingge raised her eyebrows slightly and said indifferently, "I’m keeping them here because they have things useful to me. As for trust, that depends on their performance."
"By the way," speaking of this matter, Mu Qingge asked Si Mo, "Do you know if there’s a way to imprint patterns from human skin?"
Si Mo replied, "Only by seeing the specific situation can we know."
See the specific situation?
Doesn’t that mean letting Si Mo see the back of Xuan Ya and Xie Ya? Mu Qingge suddenly imagined that scene in her mind, feeling uncomfortable, she shook her head and murmured, "Then forget it, I’ll find a way myself."
"What’s wrong, Little Ge’er?" Si Mo said with a smile.
Mu Qingge suddenly grabbed his collar and pulled him closer, fiercely saying, "You lived so long, really never had other women?"
Though she knew that what happened before meeting her, shouldn’t be counted, the logic goes.
But now, if she thought of Si Mo being gentle and affectionate to other women, pampering other women, her heart would ache faintly.
"I swear, apart from Little Ge’er, I have never been tempted by any other woman, nor have I touched any other woman." Feeling her jealousy, Si Mo sweetly confessed.
The hand Mu Qingge held his collar with slightly loosened, and she blurted out, "Then aren’t you still a virgin?"
Virgin?
Si Mo’s head suddenly ached.
Gazing at the shocked woman, he ground his teeth and said, "Then does Little Ge’er want to rescue me?"
"Not for now, thanks." Mu Qingge abruptly released Si Mo’s collar, treating it like some terrible monster.
...
At Dragon Tooth Camp, the doors were closed for three days.
During the three days, those wanting to probe for information not only didn’t decrease but increased. However, still, they couldn’t get a shred of news. At this time, a voice gradually emerged among the crowd.
They all suspected that Mu Qingge might have already died under Ying Ze’s hand; otherwise, why was there no news for three days?
The topic of whether Mu Qingge was alive or dead had now become the Sunset Grassland’s hottest topic.
On this day, a competent-looking woman appeared at the entrance of Dragon Tooth Camp.
She seemed to be from some Floating Guest team.
She stood at the entrance of Dragon Tooth Camp, apparently wanting to go inside. Those who had been waiting outside for three days and nights were all anticipating her being thrown out so they could mock.
However, when the Dragon Tooth Guard standing on the watchtower saw her appearance, they didn’t chase her away like others.
She stood outside, looking up at the Dragon Tooth Guard, and asked, "Is your Lord alright?"
The Dragon Tooth Guard thought for a while and said to her, "Please wait a moment."
Then his figure disappeared from the watchtower. Inside the camp, Mo Yang came to the platform outside the main tent, where he observed the training of the Dragon Tooth Guard with Mu Qingge and said, "Little Lord, Princess Yiyao is here."
Mu Qingge’s eyes flashed, surprised, and asked, "Qin Yiyao?"
Mo Yang nodded.
