Under One Person: Lifting the Ball to Soar

Page 159

Various literary works complain that women turn into another kind of creature once they start shopping. It is said that shopping with women is extremely tiring and men simply can’t stand it.

Lu Piao had no experience in this and had no idea whether this tiredness was physical due to physical fatigue, or mental fatigue due to being worn out and losing patience.

During the tracking process, he was indeed very bored at first, but he soon found that it was just a minor problem.

Xia He and Zhang Lingyu both had impressive skills. They walked around for a whole day without taking a break, sometimes even chasing each other and flirting with each other.

After persisting until now, Lu Piao has been exhausted and can’t keep going anymore.

This guy sat down on a bench in the mall for customers to rest and complained:

“Xiao Liangzi, Gong Qing, you two should continue to hold on. I really can’t do it anymore.”

Lu Liang was anxious: “Damn it! Third brother can’t do this. Sister Xia said that you must accompany us throughout the whole process. If you dare to neglect your duties and make us regret reincarnating as human beings, she can’t do anything to you, but Gong Qing and I will die!”

Gong Qing also had a grim expression. He also saw that this person had really tried his best, so he sincerely advised:

“Lu Piao, please give me a hand. I actually have another solution…”

Then he took out a silver needle, pointed the tip of the needle at Lu Piao and said:

“I can use the Ghost Gate Needle to acupuncture your acupuncture points. Just hold on for another seven or eight hours and the day will be over.”

Lu Piao frowned and stared at the shiny long needle, and asked anxiously:

“Isn’t your method like stimulants, with side effects?”

Gong Qing touched his head awkwardly, and smiled innocently like an innocent child, revealing eight shining white teeth:

“How can that be possible? The effect is much stronger than stimulants, and the side effects are of course much greater!”

Lu Piao said indifferently: “Go to hell!”

Now Gong Qing and Lu Liang were at a loss as they couldn’t just carry him around on their own.

The three of them stopped, and soon a message alert sounded on Lu Liang’s phone. He took it out and looked at it, his face pale:

“Sister Xia is here to ask for my life. She’s asking where we are and why we disappeared. She’s also asking whether Gong Qing and I still want to live upright lives for the rest of our lives!”

The two little kids looked at Lu Piao pleadingly.

Having no choice, Lu Piao sighed and took out a Poké Ball.

Then, as Gong Qing and Lu Liang looked at the gods, they released a group of mosquito-sized mechanical flying insects…

Chapter 168 Bad Relationship

Zhang Lingyu was wearing a black sports suit and a baseball cap. Her long silver hair was tied into a ponytail and passed through the opening of the straps behind the cap.

The young man stood outside the milk tea shop, looking at the pretty pink figure inside, feeling extremely complicated. He had always felt guilty about his relationship with Xia He.

The young man admires Ai and cannot help himself, but there is a difference between good and evil.

Rumors are the sharpest knife, they can destroy money and kill people without leaving any trace.

Although Xia He is the last disciple of the world-renowned Tianshi in the supernatural world, his personality is distorted by public opinion and he becomes notorious because of his innate supernatural powers.

The forbidden love between a high-ranking Taoist priest of the Tianshi Temple and a woman who is regarded as an evil and seductress by the world is so unorthodox that it is bound to be unacceptable in the world.

Not to mention that it is a taboo for a cultivator to indulge in love. Zhang Lingyu felt deeply ashamed for not being worthy of his master’s teachings and cultivation…

In fact, the person he felt most sorry for was Xia He, because he had no way of making a promise to Xia He.

Zhang Lingyu raised these obstacles in his interactions with Xia He, but Xia He pointed out that he was old-fashioned.

[Love is like a dream, when the dream ends, people disperse… Who says two people must be together in the end, and must be a couple for life? ]

The teasing laughter of the girl seemed like yesterday, but Zhang Lingyu stubbornly believed: If they are in love and depend on each other, they must be together forever, and must be a pair for the rest of their lives!

As for Xia He, Zhang Lingyu always believed that his pity for her was greater than his love for her. He wanted to cut off his feelings with a sword countless times, but whenever he thought of Xia He’s miserable experience, he could not bear to abandon her so heartlessly.

So, this “bad relationship” has continued to this day.

And today, Zhang Lingyu had a new realization…

“Hey! It’s about three o’clock. Let’s have some tea first!”

The summer wheat is like a snow lotus, blooming before the young man’s eyes. Suddenly, everything in the world becomes beautiful and the fragrance penetrates his bones.

Zhang Lingyu practiced in the mountains for many years and had never experienced many things in the world. He took the oolong tea handed to him by Xia He, looked at it curiously, then inserted a straw and drank it in small sips.

There was no sugar or any other ingredients added to the tea, and the cool taste felt very novel to the young Taoist priest who had been a monk since childhood.

Xia He: “Lingyu, what were you thinking about just now?”

Zhang Lingyu: “In the past, you and I always met in secret. Why are you finally willing to date openly this time?”

Xia He smiled brightly, raised her head slightly, and looked through the transparent skylight of the shopping mall at the blue sky.

“I didn’t want outsiders to know about our relationship before because I was afraid it would cause you trouble, but now I no longer hate my abilities or myself.

I think I can be with you honestly, will you dislike me like this?”

Zhang Ling said without hesitation: “Of course not!”

Xia He withdrew her gaze, and just then a couple passed by them. Xia He’s watery eyes met the gaze of the man.

The man was immediately infatuated and stared at Xia He in ecstasy. The woman who was traveling with him noticed something was wrong and pinched the man’s armpit with all her might. As the man cried out in pain, she stabbed Xia He with a knife-like gaze and glared at Zhang Lingyu fiercely, then dragged the man away while cursing…

Xia He watched the couple leave and asked again:

“Even if you have to face this kind of gaze at any time, don’t you feel disgusted?”

Zhang Lingyu scratched his face awkwardly. He was still frightened by that look, but how should he put it… Actually, he was still a little secretly happy in his heart:

“I know it’s not your fault.”

Xia He’s eyebrows curved: “Does Master Lingyu think that I am not as petty as before?”

Zhang Lingyu was curious: “Xia He, what have you experienced recently that caused you to have such a big change?”

Xia He’s image, temperament and even behavior style have undergone tremendous changes. She used to be a self-pitying orchid in the valley, but now she is a peony in the sun, beautiful and calm.

Xia He sighed faintly:

“I just figured out some things. When the opportunity to escape from the nightmare was presented before me, I realized that what I thought was the source of pain was actually a generous gift from fate.

It turns out that all the sufferings in the past were nothing but self-righteous whining. What I really cannot accept is the ordinary life.

Now, I am able to face up to the inherent ‘evil’ power in myself, and I am happy to accept it even if I am surrounded by the malice of the whole world.”

Zhang Lingyu was sincerely happy for the girl in front of him and said admiringly:

“Xia He, congratulations on finding your own path.”

When they first met this morning, the boy noticed the light in the girl’s eyes and knew that her life was on the right track. When he realized that he didn’t need to support her miserable life as her comfort, he could finally break up with her without any worries…

A huge feeling of reluctance suddenly came over me!

Zhang Lingyu was shocked to realize that his love for Xia He was far greater than pity…

Just as the atmosphere was becoming increasingly gentle, a message alert sounded.

Xia He took out her cell phone and looked at it, her expression was stunned.

Zhang Lingyu was surprised: “Xia He?”

Xia He came back to her senses, with a barely perceptible panic in her eyes. She shook her hand and said:

“Nothing, just a scam text message!”

As he spoke, he looked above Zhang Lingyu’s head.

The alien’s sharp eyesight allowed her to discover that on the small button on the top of Zhang Lingyu’s baseball cap, there was a tiny mechanical flying insect. It was raising its forelimbs to greet her, and then like a camouflage chameleon, it became transparent and invisible.

Even with Xia He’s cultivation, if he didn’t use his eyesight to look carefully, he wouldn’t be able to detect the existence of the invisible flying insect…

……

It was midnight in a triple room suite in a hotel.

There was an Alienware notebook on the table. Lu Piao was operating it seriously with headphones on. While playing, he yawned.

Gong Qing, who was sitting on the bed meditating while carrying Zhou Tian, ​​looked at Lu Piao and said speechlessly:

“Didn’t you say you were sleepy a long time ago? If you are, then go to sleep. Xia He’s business with that pervert isn’t over yet. You have to get up early tomorrow to continue eating her and Zhang Lingyu’s dog food.”

Lu Piao seemed a little anxious. He hadn’t been online for two days and needed to catch up:

“I want to sleep, but I haven’t finished today’s mission yet…Xiao Liangzi, have you finished yours?”

Lu Liang was also holding a laptop of the same model, sitting cross-legged on the bed and logging into Lu Piao’s game to help him brush up on materials.

After hearing what Lu Piao said, he looked up, his big eyes behind his glasses full of curiosity:

“Third brother, let’s put aside the game for now and tell me about your storage magic weapon and the magical flying insect!”

Gong Qing immediately pricked up his ears and looked expectantly at the fool who didn’t know whether he was playing the game or being played by the game.

Lu Piao pretended not to hear and concentrated on playing the game without saying a word.

Seeing that Lu Piao did not respond, Gong Qing felt a little disappointed. He looked at Lu Liang in the other bed and said to him:

“Something similar appeared in the circle not long ago, the reconnaissance machine that accompanied Master Ma during the Liupanshui battle.

But the flying insects released by your third brother are obviously much more advanced, smaller, faster, more flexible, and even invisible. Even an alien would have difficulty detecting their exaggerated concealment ability.”

Lu Liang had been struggling since the afternoon, but he couldn’t help but ask:

“Third brother, do you really know Master Ma?”

Lu Piao sighed helplessly. He knew things would turn out like this.

“Don’t ask. It’s obvious that I won’t tell you anything.”

In order not to expose the super-standard magical weapon, the Devouring Sac, Lu Piao did not play the game for two days and two nights.

But he was open-minded and thought that the current situation was good. Since people already knew about it, there was no need to hide it anymore. He took out the notebook from his swallowing bag openly, and his life rhythm finally returned to normal.

Compared with minor troubles and the daily life of the game where “you’ll never get the chance again after this opportunity comes again”, Lu Piao still knew which was more important. Now he regretted not taking the notebook out of the devouring capsule at the beginning, wasting two days in vain.
