Chapter 337: Chapter 325 Charm

"So this time, they’ve actually called in the Dragon Squad? Heh, how has the training been going during this period?" Lu Yun asked casually.

"After taking an elixir bath, there’s no visible difference for young people, but the internal changes are revolutionary. With the same amount of training, people who used to feel exhausted by the end of the day as if they reached their limits, can now handle double the workload without even being out of breath..."

Shitou was also bringing this up to Lu Yun for the first time, his face filled with immense pride and excitement, "You haven’t been exposed yet, so you have no idea how much those in the Dragon Squad admire the genius who can concoct such elixirs. Haven’t you noticed the change in attitude from Su Qiaoling, Wen Shan, Zhan Hongtao, and Zhuang Jun these days?"

"I did find it strange. Recently, the way they look at me feels quite unnerving."

Lu Yun touched her arm; that kind of gaze was too scary. She could somewhat understand Zhan Hongtao and Zhuang Jun looking at her that way as admiration for her, perhaps taking pride in her beauty.

But why would Su Qiaoling and Wen Shan, both women, look at her with such intense gazes too? She wasn’t into women, and while she had no prejudice against them, she wasn’t interested in joining in either.

"Hahaha, that’s because they’ve almost had zero distance contact with you and know that these elixirs come from you. And those guards secretly protecting you—I didn’t know how committed they were to protecting you before, but I’m sure now they will take it even more seriously than before," Shitou laughed heartily at the sight of Lu Yun being so creeped out.

In the past, when it wasn’t yet time to disclose the elixir baths publicly, besides a very few individuals, only the members of the Dragon Squad under Shitou’s command, carefully selected, were permitted to take the elixir baths.

Even the guards who were at the time stationed around Shitou and Lu Yun were only later approved to join the elixir baths.

This was also why all of Shitou’s Dragon Squad subordinates had completed their elixir baths, while some of the guards around them were still undergoing the process.

"You still can’t understand what it means to a man, there’s nothing more thrilling than genuinely feeling oneself becoming stronger."

"Haven’t you already experienced it yourself and knew the effects, so why are you still so excited?"

Lu Yun looked at Shitou skeptically as his face turned red with excitement, and she found it a bit funny and incomprehensible. If it were a newbie just getting acquainted with the elixir, the excitement would be understandable, but Shitou had long been a veteran.

"Silly girl, it’s hard for an individual’s strength to compare with the feeling of watching an entire team grow stronger. Especially when everyone cooperates with each other, that feeling of ’with my sword in hand, I have the world’—the sense that there’s hardly anything in the world that can stump us. Especially for men, the impact is tremendous."

Standing there, Shitou emanated such a strong self-confidence and charm that Lu Yun could hardly take her eyes off him.

It’s said that confident women are the most beautiful, but Lu Yun suddenly felt that self-confident people, whether they were men, women, children, elderly, or even those with physical disabilities, are the most beautiful. The charm they unconsciously exude is enough to make anyone overlook their imperfections and flaws.

Having someone to confide in, Shitou couldn’t stop talking once he started, "Moreover, recently I’ve divided our members based on whether they have Psychic Power Talent, and we began their respective spiritual power and Physical Art training—the results are exceptionally good. It’s really exciting to think about how sharp they will become after some more training when their strengths have fully matured."

"I actually think that a truly good sword should be restrained and inconspicuous; the highest realm of cultivation is returning to simplicity. You’re starting to feel this inflated confidence too; I’m beginning to worry that everyone might become too arrogant with such power far surpassing their own, which might lead to problems."

As Lu Yun was affected by Shitou’s joy and excitement, she quickly calmed down and started to fret again.

Confidence and arrogance are separated only by a thin wall; confidence can shatter all difficulties and be invincible, but once it oversteps and turns into arrogance, it lays the groundwork for immense hidden dangers.

Good riders fall from horses, good swimmers drown in water.

"I know my limits." The best way to suppress those whose confidence is excessively inflated is to constantly display a power greater than theirs, continuously knocking them down, so they understand that they are not the only formidable ones in this world...

He excelled at this.

Shitou gave a wickedly charming smile, a smile so captivating it even made Lu Yun gulp and shudder involuntarily, before she quickly averted her gaze.

This change of style was unexpected, why had it suddenly turned into a "domineering CEO" scenario?

At last, Lu Yun’s heart settled back in place. Yes, she’d leave everything to Shitou and continue to trust him, believing he could handle anything.

Lu Yun relaxed completely and finally took an interest in serious matters. She narrowed her eyes dangerously and told Shitou in an especially imperious tone, "You’re not allowed to show that kind of smile to anyone but me."

Shitou was taken aback.

"Your smile is too seductive. It’s only for me to see. If you dare let anyone else see it and go about attracting bees and butterflies, be careful, I’ll beat you up."

Lu Yun waved her tiny fists, threatening Shitou. However she thought about it, she still felt damned insecure.

Just thinking about Shitou’s recent smile made her heart flutter uncontrollably. That expression wasn’t just a magnet for women, but seemingly for men too—it was just too worrisome.

A flicker of astonishment passed through Shitou’s eyes, and then, as understanding dawned, he couldn’t help but quiver as he wrapped his arms around Lu Yun. He struggled to get out a halting sentence, "...Alright... it’s only for you..."

"That’s better. Is it that funny? Stop laughing, no more laughing."

Lu Yun’s face flushed as Shitou’s tight embrace made it seem like he was laughing even harder, while he continued to tease her, "...Alright... alright... I won’t laugh... ha, hahaha..."

Lu Yun glared at him helplessly, then couldn’t stop herself from laughing along.

After they finally stopped laughing, Shitou rubbed her stomach and promised her earnestly, "From now on, I’ll only smile like that for you. Is that okay?"

Of course, it was okay!

Knowing it was embarrassing, yet Lu Yun still nodded vigorously with a series of "mmhm, mmhm, mmhm."
