The Fragrant Wood Swordsman
pkh 13 part 7

This woman is very dangerous, in addition to her knowledge, also very clever and a lot of wits.

"Cui Im, you are good at bragging. You've been trapped in that place, so you deliberately want to persuade me, right?"

"A proud man, your stubbornness! There is no way out here, but after my intelligence increases, it is not difficult for me to find a way out, or if necessary to fly you there! Not because of that, and don't think that I'm gonna beg you. No, even if I get stuck here, you get stuck there and you get worse. Thou know? Here there is a supply of food that will be eaten enough for many years. There are salty, undamaged dry wheat breads kept for years, what else is kept in a very tight room. Here there is clear water because the small water passes in this part. And at the end of the tunnel became the nesting place of hundreds of thousands of birds so that I could eat the eggs of birds or catch and eat the meat. What will you eat and drink there? To forage by going down the sword stone was akin to surrendering to the Kun-lun-pai tosu. Well, tell me, who's trapped? You desperately need me, or rather, this place and me. I desperately need you to read and lead me to study the books of silat..."

"Heeeeee? Are you illiterate?"

Red face Cui Im. "Blind at all. If I only read or write love letters, I can. However, these books, especially the books of Siauw-lim-pai, write like duck claws and the language is very ancient, using poems that are very difficult to understand. Let us be at peace and help each other. We can both live here studying science and later we become the number one heroes in the world, is it not happy and delicious?"

Keng Hong frowned. Although very adorable heart, but he must admit that the words of Cui Im have a point. If indeed the food and drinking water rations were on the other side, of course he really needed it. And the girl also needed him to read the books of the ilu. Hemmmmm, thus, of course in studying the sciences both, and, he will win more because first read and it is easy to pass the important parts so that the level of Cui Im will remain below it. Thus, it will be easy to subdue this girl if she becomes wild and evil. There is no other way at a time like this.

"Well Cui Im, there is no other way for the two of us but to reconcile and work together. Well, throw the end of the mine so that the mine bridge is always stretched!"

"Hi-hi-hik, Keng Hong will be."

"What else is it? Don't you mess around, Cui Im."

"I'm not the one who's messing around, but I'm worried that you're the one who's going to mess around. Swear first, Keng Hong, I will cooperate with you. Who knows you tricked me like when you gave false Siang-bhok-kiam, hi-hi-hik!"

Keng Hong puffed up once. This girl is too clever, she has to be careful. There is only one hope, which is that Cui Im seems to really love him so he does not worry that the girl will be willing to harm him. At first, if you think deeply, it is very detrimental that the books of temperature relics were taken away by Cui Im who certainly asked for help from others to read them. Thus, the contents of the books will be known to the third person. Better he read it himself than anyone else!

"Alright, Cui Im. If you believe me less, I will swear. Should I swear how?"

"Kneel down and swear in the name of your temperature, Sin-jiu Kiam-ong!"

Keng Hong was surprised and wanted to argue, but he already knew the character of Cui Im who was hard and in their current problem he was the weaker and unfavorable position. He just took a long breath. To swear it, as long as he holds his vow, using his temperature name is also okay. Then he knelt down and said the words that Cui Im wanted.

"First, you will not kill me!"

"That teecu will not kill Ang-kiam Tok-sian-li Bhe Cui Im."

"Secondly, that thou shalt recite the books of silat in truth and not deceive me!"

Damn it, Keng Hong thought in his heart. This girl is smart not playing!

He was forced to say the words according to Cui Im's will, "...That teecu will read the books of silat in truth and not deceive him..."

"Three, that you will accept me to study until it is finished and not to hinder if at any time I stop the lesson and get out of this place!"

Keng Hong imitated the remark and his heart was relieved when Cui Im declared it was satisfied enough. Quickly he stood up and said with a face and beamed, "Cui Im, throw the mine and I want to review the place across it!"

Cui Im became astonished as to why Keng Hong looked so happy after swearing. However, he believed that a young man like Keng Hong once swore, anything else in the name of his teacher, to death would not be willing to break his oath. So without hesitation he then threw the end of the mine with iron links to the other side.

Just as he had expected, the iron hook floated and hooked the stone. Across there Cui Im hooked the other end to the rock there. However, Keng Hong checked the link again, and after finding that the iron was well-knit and strong, he jumped up the mine and ran over the mine to the other side.

He was secretly amazed by Cui Im. The girl was horrified to climb the sword, but once she got the books, she was not horrified to walk on the even more terrible bridge.

As soon as he jumped across the land, Cui Im quickly greeted him with lips looking for his lips. However, Keng Hong shunned his face and subtly pushed Cui Im's shoulder.

"Keng Hong, why? Have we not become good friends?"

"Cui Im, we are friends to help each other in pursuing knowledge here, and about love, remember, there was nothing mentioned in my oath earlier!"
