Dominating Martial King-Chapter 77 - 74 Shameless
77: Chapter 74: Shameless
77 -74: Shameless
Zuo Qingyun’s chosen Tattoo Artist was a woman named Wo Meiniang.
Chu Yunyun and Lu Luanti couldn’t help frowning slightly upon seeing Wo Meiniang, feeling somewhat annoyed.
Although the woman was approaching her forties, she had a picturesque face and retained her charm, radiating an enchanting and seductive aura.
Her palace attire was also deliberately tailored to be revealing, drawing attention with bare arms and chest.
Key to tattooing was the need for close physical contact.
Chu Xisheng didn’t hesitate, stripping off his upper garments.
“Mr.
Chu is quite thin, unbelievable.
Your strength, to be able to suppress Zhuang Hongfei.”
Wo Meiniang sized up Chu Xisheng, as if trying to see through him completely.
Only when she felt the abnormal gaze of the two girls did she ask with a suggestive smile, “Mr.
Chu, where do you plan to have this Totem tattooed?
On this arm, or perhaps your chest or back?”
Chu Xisheng immediately raised an eyebrow and inquired, “Does it make a difference?”
“This Secret Technique Totem is quite large; one piece is the equivalent to two others.
It’s easier to tattoo on the chest or back—it would take about half an hour to complete, as there’s more space and it’s easier to work on.”
Wo Meiniang smiled and said, “Tattooing on the arm is more troublesome, requiring at least four hours.
Of course, the fee is higher; it will cost an extra three hundred taels of Demon Silver.
However, I can integrate it with your ‘Wind and Thunder’ pattern, enhancing both.”
Chu Xisheng naturally chose his arm.
Although it was more trouble and more expensive, it would enhance his battle power even more.
Over the next four hours, Chu Xisheng grimaced throughout.
The ‘Secret Technique Totem’ was completely different from ordinary tattoos.
Legend has it that Secret Technique Totems originated in the time of ancient tribes.
People of that era discovered that by tattooing the patterns of various magical mutant beasts onto their bodies, they could possess greater strength or improved speed, leading to the creation of various ‘Totems’ and ‘War Patterns’.
As time passed, the art of Secret Technique Totems became more and more refined.
Wo Meiniang first cut the Chasing Wind Saber Secret Moves Map into more than ten pieces, then using a needle soaked in a special medicinal solution, she followed the traced patterns to stitch these pieces of leather onto Chu Xisheng’s arm.
She then applied more of the solution onto the leather, which astonishingly dissolved upon contact with the substance, turning into specks of gold and crimson that seeped into Chu Xisheng’s skin and ultimately formed patterns resembling tattoos.
Next was the process of channeling; using these Totem patterns to construct a structure similar to the human body’s meridian system.
The entire process might sound simple, but in reality, it was incredibly intricate and complex.
Chu Xisheng was in undeniable pain, and Wo Meiniang too had broken out in a sweat, soaking her clothes completely.
After four hours, Wo Meiniang finally relaxed her expression.
She then meticulously began to check over Chu Xisheng’s body.
“Is it done yet?” Lu Luanti impatiently glared with her almond eyes, “How long more do you need to touch him?”
For two hours straight, the two had been in close contact, breathing in close proximity.
This Wo Meiniang, under the pretense of checking Chu Xisheng’s bones, had taken the liberty to touch him all over in front of her.
Wo Meiniang couldn’t help but laugh silently, knowing she had upset the young girl.
“It’s almost done, there shouldn’t be any big issues.”
She began packing up the various tools used for inscribing the Totem: “Remember not to touch water for three days, and you can’t touch things like ‘Divine Flower Leaf Juice’ in the future.
They can wash off the Totems on your body or greatly reduce their effectiveness.
In the past, many Martial Cultivators were secretly undermined; bathing in a tub of water mixed with a massive amount of Divine Flower Leaf Juice, they lost eighty percent of their War Patterns.
You must be careful.”
She then placed ten yellow talismans in front of Chu Xisheng: “These are my tokens.
As long as you fold them into paper cranes, they can fly back to me.
If you need anything, you can contact me with them.
I’ll give Little Brother Chu a ten percent discount.”
Crack!
Lu Luanti’s right hand tightened, producing a sound like popping soybeans from her joints.
What was this woman trying to imply?
She then looked at Chu Yunyun with confusion.
Lu Luanti had just heard a faint sound of cracking joints coming from the direction of Chu Yunyun.
She immediately felt happy, thinking that Sister Chu was on her side.
She must also dislike this seductive and flirtatious woman with her enchanting ways.
However, Zuo Qingyun then chuckled lightly and said, “Take it, you have caught Mei Niang’s eye, and her token is not easily given to others.
Mei Niang is not only the best tattoo artist in the entire East State region but also the most well-informed person in Xiushui County.
In Xiushui County, even throughout the East State Eight Counties, if you want to know anything, she’s the right person to find.”
Chu Xisheng immediately raised his eyebrows, “Then I must thank Sister Wo!”
He carefully stored the ten talismans into his sleeve.
“Thank you?
You’ve got to pay, 600 taels as a favor,” said Wo Meiniang with a light chuckle as her gaze swept over Chu Yunyun and Lu Luanti’s faces, suddenly showing a tease, “Actually, it’s not just information and Secret Technique Totem I can provide.
Little Brother Chu, if you have any other business you want to discuss, you can also find me.”
As she took six silver notes with a denomination of a hundred taels each from Chu Xisheng’s hand, her right hand unintentionally, or perhaps deliberately, caressed the back of his hand.
Lu Luanti’s face was turning green as she was about to explode with anger at this woman!
Shameless!
Lu Luanti turned her head, looking to Chu Yunyun an arm’s length away for support.
There were some things she couldn’t say, but as Chu Xisheng’s biological sister, Chu Yunyun could speak out confidently.
But what she saw was Chu Yunyun sitting emotionlessly in her chair, not moving a muscle.
Afterward, Chu Xisheng walked Wo Meiniang to the door along with Zuo Qingyun.
Not feeling quite secure, Lu Luanti followed them.
Only Chu Yunyun stayed in the room.
Not until the three of them had left the room did Chu Yunyun rise from the wooden chair.
In that instant, the wooden chair collapsed with a bang, breaking into hundreds of pieces.
Chu Yunyun looked helpless, quickly picking up the remnants of the wooden chair.
Then she rubbed her hands together, grinding it into sawdust, which she sprinkled out the window.
When Chu Xisheng and the other returned to the room, they both paused, as if a chair was missing from the room.
Chu Xisheng did not pay much attention to it; he found a clear spot in the room, drew his Blood Refining Light Steel Blade, and gave it a swing.
Strikingly, the blade light left a trail of afterimages before him.
Whether it was the doubling of speed from the ‘Chasing Wind and Lightning Hand’ second rank or the thirty percent increase in the power of the Chasing Wind Saber’s ‘Secret Moves Map,’ both had been calculated against the norm of an ordinary man.
So his sword speed hadn’t increased by the 1.3 times Chu Xisheng had hoped for.
Yet his sword speed had indeed increased significantly, especially the ’empty wind’ and ‘Wind and Thunder’ saber techniques, which were so fast they startled Chu Xisheng, nearly beyond his control.
Chu Yunyun, on the side, watched him swing his sabre with a stunned expression.
This guy has actually produced wind and thunder on his sword!
And, Chu Xisheng’s hand has gotten faster; could this be the second rank of the Chasing Wind and Lightning Hand?
Is tonight’s battle with Zhuang Hongfei contributing so significantly to Chu Xisheng’s enhancement?
So, the more life-threatening the situation, the more Chu Xisheng’s bloodline thrills to awaken?
No, that’s not right!
Reflecting on the past, Chu Yunyun’s eye gradually showed doubt.
This guy, it seems that the more he is in the public eye, under the scrutiny of everyone, the better his condition, with sudden enlightenment and bloodline awakenings emerging inexhaustibly—
