Chapter 273: Chapter 2 3 4 are all tricking me_1
When Li Xuan walked out of the room, he felt numb all over, having trouble walking.
However, after his electrotherapy treatment, he felt extraordinarily revitalized, as if he had boundless energy.
At the back of his head, there was a lump which ached slightly – caused when he unintentionally glanced back and was immediately smacked by Jiang Hanyun.
Li Xuan felt a bit wronged, he swore that he had no ulterior motives, even if he did, it was merely pure admiration.
Before he stepped over the threshold, Li Xuan couldn’t help but address Jiang Hanyun, who was strapping on her armor in the room, in a distressed tone, "Xiaowei, you really should treat them nicer. They’re so hardworking, yet you bind them tightly. If this continues, they might sag—"
"Scram!"
Jiang Hanyun’s reaction was to grab the vase nearby and throw it at Li Xuan.
She held nothing back, even causing the vase to make a whistling sound. Li Xuan’s face slightly changed and immediately performed a Lightning Dash to escape the room, then quickly ducked his head and scurried away.
In his mind, curiosity arose.
What happened to Xiaowei today? Why was she so nice to him and let him take such advantage?
When Li Xuan returned to the small courtyard of The Third Flag, he found Peng Fulai and Zhang Yue each holding two stone locks, practicing horse stance.
However, the one that Peng Fulai was holding was a size smaller, while Zhang Yue’s stone locks each weighed over three hundred pounds. Their feet moved subtly as if they were riding horses, triggering a sway in the stone locks held in their hands.
This indicated that their horse stance skills were reasonably developed.
"What happened to you guys?"
Li Xuan curiously asked, "At this time, don’t we usually go to the tea house outside together for breakfast?"
Peng Fulai and Zhang Yue both looked at him with a sense of grievance.
"You went home early yesterday afternoon, so you don’t know."
Luo Yan chuckled with schadenfreude, "These two were summoned by Xiaowei and got beaten up badly in the main courtyard. It was said that their cultivation progress displeased Xiaowei Jiang, who then gave them a severe beating and assigned them tasks.
Apparently, they have to stand in horse stance for two hours daily and practice the family martial arts twenty times and so on. Xiaowei said she would perform surprise inspections at any time, and if they didn’t meet the requirements they would be beaten again, even if they were hiding at home."
"That’s so overbearing!"
Li Xuan was infuriated, he turned around to leave, thinking he needed to stand up for his brothers, "I’m going to argue with Jiang Hanyun! It’s acceptable to push them to practice martial arts, but how can she just randomly hit people? This large amount of training, isn’t this just bullying? This demoness, she’s completely unreasonable."
Peng Fulai and Zhang Yue both had a glint in their eyes, looking gratefully at Li Xuan’s back, thinking what a great brother!
However, half a moment later, Li Xuan returned with no expression, a broken vase on his head, "Xiaowei has decreed, your training volume in the next ten days will increase by half. No slacking."
The faces of Peng and Zhang turned ashen instantly, their gazes at Li Xuan were about to start shooting fire.
"Where exactly did you guys offend her?"
Li Xuan was also surprised, these two had actually been diligent and hardworking these past few months.
"Don’t rush, keep practicing for now. I’ll go find Lady Jiang later and plead for you guys. Who knows, there might even be a turn of events."
At this point, Li Xuan noticed that Yue Qianqian in the consignment room was continually glancing at him, seemingly wanting to say something but hesitating.
Li Xuan was surprised, but Luo Yan had already walked up to him, her face cold, "Colonel, come with me for a moment, I have something to say to you!"
Li Xuan frowned slightly but still followed her.
He always remembered that Luo Yan was the fiercely powerful Demoness Zidie, not an ordinary subordinate.
When they reached the back of the small courtyard, Luo Yan took out a porcelain bottle, "Drink this!"
"What is this?" Li Xuan took the bottle in his hand in confusion. But as soon as he opened the cap, he smelled the intoxicating fragrance coming from within the bottle. Inside was a bottle of blue-green, silky textured puree.
"Drink quickly! If the medicinal effect evaporates, it’ll be ineffective." Luo Yan crossed her arms, "Don’t worry, I’m not going to harm you."
Li Xuan was still curious, but he knew Luo Yan truly had no reason to harm him, so he swiftly downed the blue-green puree in the bottle.
As the puree touched his tongue, Li Xuan felt a burst of unparalleled sweetness assaulting his senses.
But by the time he realized that this was a rare delicacy, he had already swallowed the puree.
"What on earth is this?"
Li Xuan smacked his lips, savoring the taste of the puree, "I have never had something this tasty in my life."
"This is Heavenly Puree that is three hundred years old."
Seeing Li Xuan’s stunned expression, Luo Yan couldn’t help but laugh, "I’m so poor. Where would I get something so precious? That’s a rare item that can give mortals an extra year of life."
Then her expression turned serious, "After drinking this, avoid engaging in any body strengthening techniques or intense physical activities that could stimulate your energy and blood flow, causing the medicine’s effect to dissipate excessively, otherwise, there may be issues. Especially for a 300-year-old Heavenly Puree, the medicinal power is extraordinary. You should allow it to slowly disperse, soaking into every limb and bone of your body."
Li Xuan thought to himself, so this is the ’Heavenly Puree’. It was rumored to be of great benefit to both cultivators and mortals. It could strengthen the body, nurture the primal energy, and even prolong life.
It was also revered as a divine product by alcohol enthusiasts—it was something they dreamed of possessing.
The tale goes that it is made from the purest of yang energy but tastes cool and refreshing—a brilliant flavour indeed.
Li Xuan thought, no wonder it’s Zidie, she even has something as valuable as this.
But the question was, why was this woman suddenly so kind to him? Strange.
However, shortly after that, he hesitated, "But Xiaowei just helped me with my Thunder Body Refinement, could this cause any issues?"
—furthermore, it was an advanced version of the technique. Hanyun had put a lot of effort into it this time.
"You’ve performed body refinement already?" Luo Yan scratched her cheek with her tender finger and said uncertainly, "I don’t know, I’ve never used this before. But if it was before you drank it, there should be no issues, right? Don’t worry, this stuff can’t kill you."
Li Xuan turned black, he was already feeling a hot current flowing within his chest and stomach, rapidly spreading throughout his body.
To his surprise, though, he found that the Yinsha that consumed his chest seems to have been reduced a little, achieving a result comparable to his use of the Four-turns Dahuan Elixir—
This bottle of puree extended his life span by at least twenty days.
While Li Xuan was excited, yet somewhat apprehensive, Qianqian had already mustered the courage to confront him.
"Colonel, could you come with me? I have something to tell you."
"Why are you here too?" Li Xuan looked at her puzzled, "What is it? Can’t you tell me here?"
Qianqian blushed, her chin almost reaching her chest, "It’s very important, you just have to come with me."
After some hesitation, Li Xuan decided to follow her. This little bunny was far too shy and sensitive. Li Xuan was worried that if he refused, he would hurt her feelings.
The place they ended up in was the document room in the small courtyard. It was used to store all the documents and files related to the Third Flag.
However, it has now practically been transformed into Qianqian’s private quarters.
"Colonel, please take off your clothes first."
Perhaps due to shyness, Qianqian’s head started to steam, "Just the upper garment is fine."
Li Xuan thought—alright, more undressing.
The moment he took off his upper garment, Qianqian put her hands together and began to recite, "Disciple Qianqian, invites the Heaven Lady to enter."
Her aura then shifted; twelve cyan-colored beads appeared from her sleeves.
"I am using the ’Shenqi Xuanshen Technique’ passed down by my family, a body refinement secret technique nurtured by artifacts. I’ve been practicing it for half a month, but my mana is still insufficient, so I need the help of the Heaven Lady. Don’t move rashly, otherwise, it will lead to serious complications."
Li Xuan’s lips twitched—so it seemed every woman around him knew some form of massage technique.
But he then realized something was wrong, "Wait! I just drank the Heavenly Puree—"
Before Li Xuan could finish his sentence, the twelve beads floating in the air each emitted a blue burst of light, hitting his body. Each beam was targeting an acupoint.
The voice of Li Xuan was abruptly cut off and he could not speak anymore.
Two hours later, Li Xuan staggered out of the document room, his face beet red.
By now, he felt waves of heat constantly swelling within his body, as if he had been inflated like a balloon.
But the problem was, Li Xuan couldn’t release this energy. His recent body refinement had significantly toughened his body’s fascia, so even if it swelled to double its size, he could still barely handle it.
—this feeling of being inflated was truly uncomfortable.
He wondered involuntarily if these three women were having fun teasing him, intending for him to suffer.
Was this their way of paying him back for his previous offences?
Li Xuan forcibly suppressed his feelings, sat down in his seat, and tried to deal with official documents.
However, after a short while, he abandoned the wolf brush in his hand. His heart was immensely uneasy and he just couldn’t concentrate at all. He couldn’t read a single word from those documents.
He had to find a way to release this energy—what if he went to Yunrou?
As soon as the idea came to him, Li Xuan felt restless and an urge he couldn’t suppress.
