CH 99

Run slowly. This floor is uneven. Be careful not to fall.” The middle-aged beautiful woman followed behind the little girl and exhorted with concern.

Beside her, the scholarly middle-aged man walked into the room. A strange light flashed in his eyes. An invisible force spread out and instantly enveloped the entire room.

A moment later, the light in the man’s eyes disappeared, and he said, “There are no surveillance cameras or tracking devices. This room is very clean.”

The beautiful woman coaxed the little girl to go to bed. She turned her head and said softly, “You’re too cautious. No matter how powerful that Wu Xijing is in Baoding, can he extend his tentacles to this Ox-Head Mountain?”

“It’s never wrong to be careful with you and Nannan.” The scholarly man said in a deep voice, “Don’t forget that we’re running for our lives now.”

“Wu Xijing is a Level 3 Spiritual Master who has been famous for a long time. His nickname is “Demonic Purple-Eyed Spider”. He’s a narrow-minded person who seeks revenge for the smallest grievance. If you offend him, you’ll definitely face his wrath. I hope we can successfully escape his pursuit this time. As long as we hide in Immortal Forest Village for a year and a half, we should be fine.

“If we’re really careless and get caught by him, with your father here and us two Level 2 Spiritual Masters joining forces, we might be able to deal with him for a while. Of course, that’s the worst outcome.”

“Sigh, I hope everything will go smoothly and safely.” The beautiful woman sighed softly and said, “I haven’t seen my father in a long time. I don’t know how his body is.”

The scholarly man’s eyes turned gentle. He took a step forward and gently hugged the beautiful woman. He comforted her softly, “Your father’s martial cultivation isn’t weak. He’s also a Level 2 Spiritual Master. Maybe he’s already Level 3 by now. He’s in the prime of his life. What problems can his body have … Don’t worry, I definitely won’t let you and Nannan get hurt.”

The beautiful woman nodded and gently leaned on the scholarly man’s chest. She felt slightly relieved.

Not far away, the little girl in a red dress was standing on the bed. She was hugging a plastic ball and jumping around, giggling non-stop …

…

Lu Sheng walked into the room that the travel agency had arranged for him. He simply glanced around and didn’t find anything unusual. He then put down his luggage.

He tidied up a little and then sat on the bed. He took out a small glass vial from the pocket he carried with him. There were more than a dozen small pitch-black pills in the bottle.

Lu Sheng poured one out and threw it into his mouth.

He felt the Marrow Nourishing Pill melt in his body and turned into a stream of heat that rushed to his limbs and bones. Only then did he begin to practice the movements of the Stellar Body Refining Technique.

This process continued until the sky turned completely dark.

Only then did Lu Sheng stop.

Lu Sheng felt that his BQV had increased. The progress of the Immortal Golden Body’s refinement of his muscles and bones had also advanced a little. A satisfied smile appeared on his face.

“With the help of the pills, it’s indeed a lot faster. At this rate, I can estimate that I can completely complete the first stage of the Immortal Golden Body cultivation in less than two months. Generate inner strength, and officially step into the ranks of Level 4 Martial Artist …”

Lu Sheng went into the bathroom to take a shower. When he came out, he wiped his body with a towel and checked his phone. There were replies to all the messages he sent to his family.

His dad, Lu Hai, and his mom, Zheng Yufen, reminded him as usual to be careful when he went out alone, to pay attention to the temperature, to change clothes, and to be careful not to get a stomachache.

In their eyes, he, a Level 3 Martial Artist, still seemed to be just a child.

His sister, Lu Qinghe, replied: “Running out to play again, hmph!”

Lu Sheng smiled and chose a “proud” emoji to reply.

Lu Qinghe replied instantly.

“Senior Yang Yuan also came back to school today, and wanted to ask you out for dinner. Be honest, are you guys in love? (Curious)”

Lu Sheng thought for a moment and replied: “Focus on your own progress, don’t worry about other someone else’s business. Remember to take the supplements I left for you, every day. If your BQV hasn’t broken through 1.3 by the time I come back, you can kill yourself to appease the world. (Dog head warning)”

After a while, Lu Qinghe replied with one word: “Tsk.”

Lu Sheng shook his head and didn’t reply.

Before he left, he left Lu Qinghe twenty bottles of Spiritual Muscle and Blood Strengthening Decoction, plus the exotic beast meat in the fridge at home. In terms of cultivation conditions, Lu Qinghe wasn’t worse than many second-generation rich kids.

As long as she worked a little harder, her BQV would break 1.3. It wouldn’t be hard.

Then Zheng Dandan, who he just added during the day, sent him a bunch of messages.

“Little brother, little brother, have you reached your room? (Cute)”

“Little brother, are you unpacking your things? (Cute)”

“Little brother Lu Sheng, can we go on the trip together tomorrow? I’m an official martial artist, I can protect you. (Proud)”

“Little brother, it’s time to eat, do you want to eat together?”

“Little brother, little brother, why aren’t you replying? Aren’t you on your phone? (Crying)”

…

Lu Sheng stared at his phone for a few seconds and suddenly regretted adding her as a friend. He turned off his phone and didn’t reply.

Lu Sheng found a clean set of clothes to change into and walked out of his room.

The tour group that Lu Sheng signed up for included food and accommodation, but it was already past meal time. If Lu Sheng wanted to eat, he had to pay for it.

When Lu Sheng went downstairs, he saw some uncles and aunties from the tour group coming downstairs as well.

Unlike him, they had already finished their meal and returned to their rooms to tidy up, ready to go out to the night market.

Lu Sheng walked to the dining hall on the first floor of the guest house. He originally thought that he was the only one later late. He didn’t expect to see the little girl’s family, as well as Zheng Dandan and Yang Zishan sitting in the dining hall. Lu Sheng’s appearance immediately attracted their attention.

“Lu Sheng! This way!” Zheng Dandan stood up and waved at him loudly, ignoring the gazes of others.

“…” Lu Sheng quietly found a seat nearby and sat down.

This seat was not far from the little girl’s family. The little girl’s father smiled at Lu Sheng and nodded slightly.

Lu Sheng nodded in response, then picked up the menu on the table and began to order.

“Why don’t you sit with us? The more, the merrier!” Zheng Dandan pulled the helpless Lin Zishan over and sat down beside Lu Sheng as if they were close friends.

Lu Sheng was puzzled. “You guys haven’t eaten yet?”

“Not yet!”

“We ate.”

The two voices spoke at the same time. Zheng Dandan glared at Lin Zishan and smiled. “I just didn’t have an appetite and couldn’t eat. Now that I’m hungry, I’ll eat with you!”

“I see, feast for the eyes, but not for the wine.” Lin Zishan said slowly.*

[*Basically teasing her. Meaning that she’s hungry, but not for food.]
