192: 192.
Sneak Attack 192: 192.
Sneak Attack Xiao Cha jumped into mid-air and saw the positions of the two people.
Although they had cleared things up earlier, her gaze was still filled with murderous intent, hacking at Lu Li’s thieving hands.
The air turned colder by a few degrees as Lu Li reluctantly let go of Youzi, while Wanqing’s face flushed red and said,
“I’m going to make lunch…”
Just as she was about to leave, Xiao Cha quickly stepped forward, angrily starting to touch Youzi:
“You little witch, seducing people in broad daylight, watch not burst you~”
“Ah~ It was Young Master Lu who wanted to do it…”
Wanqing’s clothes were nearly ripped open, and despite her desperate struggle, she could only cry out pitifully in helplessness.
Lu Li quickly intervened, “This ti I got sothing good!
Look~”
He summoned with his Spirit a Jade Box that contained “Spiritual Dates” and opened it.
In an instant, a light and clear fluctuation filled the surroundings and both girls instinctively shivered.
“Spirit Fruit!”
Wanqing recognized it imdiately upon slling, touched it slightly with her hand, then licked her fingers, her voice trembling as she said,
“Sweet in taste, warm in nature, nourishes the spleen and stomach, benefits qi and blood, calms the Spirit…
Even those in the Innate Realm would greatly benefit from it!
Truly a rare Divine Item!”
Holding on to a sliver of hope, Lu Li asked, “Can it be used as seeds to grow on its own?”
Both girls shook their heads, and Xiao Cha said,
“Such a Divine Item, certainly requires a place abundant with Spirit chanism to grow.”
Wanqing added,
“The effectiveness of Spiritual Dates exceeds that of Spiritual Tea, and undoubtedly has higher growth requirents, perhaps even thriving in a Spirit Vein.
It’s indeed fortunate that Xie Junbai of the Ministry of Criminal Justice could acquire such fine things.”
“Spirit Vein…” Lu Li asked, “Last ti you ntioned that the Jiushan Sect has a Spirit Vein?”
“That’s right.” Wanqing nodded and said,
“The Jinn City Chronicles state that the Jiushan Sect was established in the late years of the previous dynasty, its founding ancestor being a great villain, Fan Wencheng, a subordinate of the Jin Army.
When he followed the Jin Army to pillage during the entrance through the pass, he inadvertently discovered this small mountain had a Spirit Vein and thus resigned his official post to practice cultivation here, establishing the Jiushan Sect.”
The gentle tone of the girl was full of regret:
“Heaven is blind, allowing the Jiushan Sect to grow stronger day by day by relying on the Spirit Vein, becoming the strongest Sect near Jinn.”
Hearing this, Lu Li said sternly, “Good, another reason for their annihilation.
I can hardly wait!”
“You haven’t forgotten about this!” Xiao Cha exclaid in shock,
“Their Sect Leader is in the Soul Ergence, Fetal Breath Elders and Zuowang Disciples together number over a hundred, not to ntion their Mountain Protection Array and private army!”
Wanqing also felt that the goal Lu Li set was too high, and gently advised,
“This is not a force that an individual can contend with, Young Master would do well to plan carefully.”
Lu Li smiled and said, “What, no faith in ?”
Both girls were slightly startled, suddenly recalling the miraculous abilities of this man, maybe he really could annihilate the Jiushan Sect!
Lu Li lifted up the Jade Box containing the Spiritual Dates and said,
“We still lack so accumulation, let’s set this matter aside for now, let’s split these dates first~”
Upon hearing this, both girls were inwardly shaken, and Xiao Cha called out softly, “You big silly.”
These Spiritual Dates could greatly benefit even those in the Innate Realm, and any person would devour it instantly.
Yet this big fool, resisting his body’s devouring instinct, brought them back to share…
At this mont, Wanqing spoke first,
“I’m just in Bone Forging, having Spiritual Tea and Essential Oil is already enough, eating this would simply be a waste.”
Eating it would only have benefits, Wanqing said this rely proposing to give it up.
Lu Li also said, “ too, I have enough benefits, besides, there’s also Wanqing’s back massage…”
He passed the box to Xiao Cha and smiled, “You eat it, you will benefit the most~”
Xiao Cha picked up the Spiritual Date, opened her mouth wide and said, “Then I won’t be polite.”
“Eat quickly~”
Both had an earnest look of “parents watching their child eat.”
Especially Wanqing, she vaguely knew about Xiao Cha’s body condition, but without inner breath, she didn’t know the specifics.
Xiao Cha smiled and said, “You two are really good to ~”
Before her words ended, she suddenly ripped off Wanqing’s blouse!
Amidst the screams, two large Youzi bounced out, and Lu Li was instantly srized…
In that split second, Xiao Cha quickly reached out and stuffed the Spiritual Date into her man’s mouth.
Lu Li was watching the Youzi and did not react in ti, nor was he guarded.
His body instinctively and eagerly devoured the spiritual object.
“Ugh…”
Lu Li tried to vomit it out by sticking his fingers down his throat, but as soon as the date reached his stomach, it transford into a refreshing air that enveloped his entire body.
He suddenly felt light-headed, as if he were intoxicated, and murmured, “You ambushed …”
Xiao Cha said with a smiling expression, “You wouldn’t have been able to undertake Marrow Cleansing until next year if you didn’t eat this date.
Alright, that settles it~”
Wanqing covered her hands with Youzi and playfully hit her friend a few tis, then her face turned worried:
“Why wouldn’t you eat it?
Lu Li genuinely wanted you to eat it.”
Xiao Cha said, “In our house, only when he eats does it truly ‘maximize the benefit’!”
Wanqing thought about it and realized that was indeed true.
All the changes, all the benefits, were brought by Lu Li.
It’s no exaggeration to say that the stronger this man beca, the greater the benefit he brought!
However, at the mont, the hope of the whole family was too dazed to speak.
Wanqing checked his pulse and laughed:
“The spiritual object’s power is strong, it needs ti to be absorbed.
Young Master will soon ascend to the Marrow Cleansing Realm~”
Xiao Cha helped Lu Li go inside to lie down and said:
“I still need to tell you about what happened today at the Azure Dragon Festival.
The Governor has fallen ill…”
~~~~~~~~~~
anwhile, in the luxuriously opulent Governor Mansion.
Jiang Haiyan, with a cold expression, quickly entered her father’s study.
Inside the study, a man and a woman were tasting tea.
The man, in his forties, gentle and refined, resembled Jiang Haiyan by about fifty to sixty percent, and was none other than the Jinn Governor—Jiang Shixiang.
However, Jiang Haiyan first bowed to the woman, “Disciple greets Master.”
This was indeed Jiang Haiyan’s master.
She was graceful, dressed in a blue cheongsam with golden patterns, her stature and deanor excellent.
At that mont, she smiled warmly and said, “You still can’t seem to stay calm in the face of trouble.”
“It’s because those villains are too outrageous!” Jiang Haiyan exploded:
“They’ve killed two more officials!
One of them was even a Divine Constable specially dispatched by the Ministry of Criminal Justice!
Although the thods were different, it’s definitely the work of the ‘Four Spirits’!”
Jiang Shixiang watched his daughter’s tantrum, and smiled lightly, “Qiu Yan is right; you should control your temper.”
Seeing him still smiling, Jiang Haiyan couldn’t hold back anymore and burst out loudly:
“Why does father keep yielding, bolstering the prestige of Li Yuanzhong!
There’s no need for you to act, let Master assist , and within three days, the culprit will be caught!”
“What then?”
Jiang Shixiang sipped his Spiritual Tea and said indifferently:
“Li Yuanzhong barging here to fight , giving people a show, what good does that bring us?”
Jiang Haiyan hesitated, “But your prestige…”
“Prestige?” Jiang Shixiang shook his head:
“You want to fight to the death over a few small fishes, even though they’re the court’s fishes, that’s not prestige, that’s foolishness.”
At this point, Qiu Yan, the woman referred to, also gently spoke:
“Jinn holds a strategic position, right now, doing nothing is better than rash action—let all the factions fight amongst themselves to the death first, then we can take advantage of the situation.”
Jiang Haiyan took a deep breath, bowed her head respectfully and said, “I understand now.”
Qiu Yan stood up, patted her disciple on the shoulder, and said:
“Let’s go out for a walk, it’s been a while since I’ve been to Jinn.”
Jiang Haiyan’s expression changed: “Master, you can show up freely now?”
“The Reconciliation Treaty is about to be signed.
We Innates can now travel to various trade ports without reporting, which is quite liberating.”
Qiu Yan reminded:
“However, it won’t be long before Innates from Chuyun and Westerners can also travel freely throughout Shen Zhou, so you must be cautious.”
