Martial Cultivator Chapter 37: Acting First

Chen Chao who returned home was silent for a long time. He sat in the corridor and looked at the stove that was bought by a certain someone last winter and had been in the corridor all this while. Then, he raised his head and saw that stray cat on the opposite roof. At present, the winter snow had melted. It was hard to avoid making noise when talking on the roof.

Chen Chao looked at it for a long time before taking out a piece of dried meat that was left over from last winter and threw it on the roof.

The stray cat picked up that dried meat that was the size of a palm and ran into the distance without any hesitation. It soon disappeared.

Only after seeing the stray cat run away, did Chen Chao retract his gaze and recollected his thoughts anew. Then, he went to get a letter and started writing under the porch.

Chen Chao rubbed his wrists. Looking at the dusty oak platform, he reached out and wiped with his hands. He wanted to fetch some water from the water vat in the courtyard, but upon looking up, he discovered that the water vat in the courtyard had long already been damaged in the last fight. Lowering his head to look at the ground again, there were several deep pits and even more cracks on the ground.

Chen Chao laughed at himself, "This is freaking perfect."

Getting up, Chen Chao went out again to buy a large vat. He also invited some masons to have them repair the courtyard.

Sitting at one side, Chen Chao started grinding. The ink fragrance gradually wafted up and he used the brush in his hand to dip a bit of ink. Holding it in midair and looking at the slightly yellow paper, Chen Chao narrowed his eyes. This scene was really familiar and also foreign.

Musing for a moment, he began writing.

After holding a saber for many years, suddenly holding a brush was really a little uncomfortable.

But along with the passage of time, he still finished writing that letter very quickly.

Waiting for the ink on it to dry, Chen Chao glanced at the masons who were currently repairing the courtyard over there.
