August 9th, Sunday, 8: 00 pm.
A taxi turned the corner and headed for Sky Capital Garden. Lou Cheng sat on the right and looked out of the window. He suggested to Yan Zheke, "Why don't we let the driver drive us there and buy some fruits before we go home?"
Ke had always been full of praise for the fruits in Huacheng.
"No, there's more in the fridge." She made a gesture to relax her neck. "I'm so tired from the flight."
The Longhu Club's competition this week was to go north to Jinfeng City and challenge the Guanwai League. They had almost crossed the entire country. Lou Cheng and Yan Zheke set off on Thursday, August 6th. They went to see Xing Jingjing and watch the battle. It was a short trip, so it was inevitable that they were tired from the long journey.
"Yeah, you're right. Even my waist and back are a little sore …" Lou Cheng tried to agree but was stopped by the girl's expression. He quickly changed the topic and said with an embarrassed smile, "It's a pity that we're not going to Jinfeng in winter.
"Yeah. I want to buy a popsicle on their Central Street. It must be very interesting." Yan Zheke said excitedly, "Also, there are holes in the ice to catch fish, downhill skiing, and …"
She listed her unfulfilled wishes one by one, as if she was making a list.
"Yeah, we'll go again next time." Lou Cheng recalled the delicious food. "I think their stewed fish is just so-so. Maybe it's because I didn't eat good food. But the Korean food is pretty good."
"Yeah, we didn't have the chance to eat the barbecue skewers this time. I wonder what's the difference between the barbecue skewers in Xiushan, Songcheng, and Huadu …" Yan Zheke rolled her eyes and suddenly felt a little hungry.
At this time, the taxi stopped at the main entrance of Sky Capital Garden. Lou Cheng paid with his mobile phone and got off first. He took his backpack and his wife's luggage so that they wouldn't forget.
Hand in hand, they walked slowly. After a few steps, they suddenly saw a shadow coming out from the side of the road and going to the opposite side of the road.
Lou Cheng looked and found a man in a short-sleeved polo shirt. He looked very young, but his black hair was mixed with a lot of silver, so it was hard to tell his age.
The man looked straight ahead, as if he was waiting for something, but it didn't happen, so he planned to leave.
When they brushed past each other, Lou Cheng felt a slight change in the Jindan in his lower abdomen. However, when he formed the Ice Mirror and examined it carefully, he didn't discover anything. It seemed to be just an illusion.
"What's wrong?" Yan Zheke sensed something and turned her head in confusion.
"Nothing." Lou Cheng shook his head and answered.
In the end, the Jindan was only an external object and did not belong to him. He hoped that he could gather the Nine Words Formula as soon as possible and figure out its mysteries so that he would not be taken advantage of in the future.
From the corner of his eyes, he saw that the man just now had waved his hand and stopped a passing taxi. He got into the taxi and left the place without doing anything strange.
After the confusion dissipated, Lou Cheng threw this matter to the back of his mind and returned home with his wife. The two searched for ingredients in the fridge and helped each other to make two bowls of noodles for supper.
"If I eat like you every day, I'll get fat sooner or later!" Yan Zheke looked at the two empty bowls with grievance.
Well, a certain someone's basin …
"You can watch me eat." Lou Cheng snickered.
"Great, you bully me. You only let me watch and not let me eat!" Yan Zheke's eyes sparkled and she smiled.
Lou Cheng didn't dare to continue this topic. He sighed and said, "Sigh, you're going back to Xiushan tomorrow …"
Half a month had passed so quickly!
Yan Zheke bit her lower lip and pretended to be energetic. "So, tonight, we'll watch the stars and the moon and talk about poetry and life philosophy!"
"This line sounds familiar." Lou Cheng thought carefully and finally understood. He was amused.
Laughter washed away the sadness of separation. However, in the middle of the night, the couple really did cuddle up and look at the bright moon outside the window.
The lights in the room were off. It was cold outside, and the light shone into the room, dyeing the dark country into a dreamy dream. Yan Zheke curled up in Lou Cheng's arms and pressed her skin against his, refusing to sleep.
"After I graduate, I want to do something big. I want to expand my mom's company to Huadu!" As she spoke, she laughed to herself. "But I don't like to socialize. I guess I can only be a consultant. I can't let my Brother Cheng eat alone all the time … Or I can apply for a job at a university in Huadu and take the path of a scholar to study economic issues …"
Seeing Yan Zheke talking about the future, Lou Cheng said with a look of longing,
"I've pretty much mastered the Dan Stage chapter of the Fire Sect. I'm good at some, but I'm only at the beginner level. After the training in the Battle of the Kings preliminaries, I should be a genuine Senior Fourth Pin expert … Next February, before my birthday, I'll strive to reach the level close to Physical Invulnerability. Yes, with the realm of Encountering Gods In The Void, Self Reflection, this shouldn't be too much of an obstacle. Think about it. Ice Mirror can reflect a certain area around itself with precision down to the millimeter. Isn't it a little similar to the most basic thing in Heavenly Connection?"
"When the time comes, I'll give myself three years to break through to Physical Invulnerability. I can't stay too long, or I'll lose my drive and drive. I can't stay too short either. Once I get impatient and anxious, things will get troublesome …"
"I feel like the gap between us is getting bigger …" Yan Zheke didn't hide her sigh and worry, seeking her husband's comfort.
"How can that be? You'll always be the head of the family! "Lou Cheng answered without hesitation.
Wait until I find a way to help you make up for your congenital deficiency. You'll definitely have no problem reaching the Dan Stage. It's hard to say if you're not human, but you'll definitely awaken supernatural abilities. Then you won't have to worry about it!
"You promise!" Yan Zheke was just worried for a moment, but she quickly adjusted.
She had always been a girl with super confidence.
"Uh, then let's pinky swear?"
"You're so childish."
"…"
"Come on, don't be angry. I like you like this the most!"
Her words echoed. It was a peaceful night.
…
The same night, the same moon. In a rented house in the middle of Huadu City.
A man with black hair mixed with silver strands sat in front of the window. His expression was still a little excited.
Although it wasn't the "same kind" as he had expected, he had discovered something that even he couldn't believe!
This trip wasn't in vain. No, it wasn't just in vain. Whether he was a dragon or a snake in the future would depend on this encounter!
He turned on his newly bought second-hand computer and seriously studied Lou Cheng's recent battle videos. He also glanced in the direction of the Longhu Club and estimated the situation in various aspects.
Hmm, I have to find a good time …
…
The next day, Lou Cheng woke up early. However, he was tempted by his little fairy and didn't go for his morning exercise, which was rare.
When Yan Zheke's flight took off, he made up for his training and punctually attended the tutorial class for Physical Invulnerability Mighty Ones in the afternoon.
In the blink of an eye, it was Friday again. However, the training session for the reserve team was canceled. This was because the next week was the preliminaries for the Battle of the Kings. They had to depart on Sunday. Everyone had to adjust their physical and mental states in advance to deal with this.
On the afternoon of August 16th, on the high-speed train to Linfu, Lou Cheng sat by the window and chatted with Yan Zheke about the title battle on his phone. In his free time, he found "Priest" and sent him a message,
"Do you have a date?"
After sending it, he suddenly felt that something was amiss. He quickly added, "A date for the Battle of the Kings?"
More than ten seconds later, Peng Leyun sent an emoji wiping cold sweat.
"I thought your account was hacked …"
Without waiting for a reply, he quickly added,
"I'm also in the realm of Encountering Gods In The Void. Let me give you a reminder so that you won't be careless. If you want to win, you have to win against an opponent in the best condition, right?"
This guy's improvement is fast … Lou Cheng secretly praised. [Laughing out loud expression] He replied,
"I think so too!"
"Priest" actually dared to reveal his strength now? Has he developed his "Wave After Wave" Divine Skill before the competition?
Peng Leyun didn't continue on this topic.
He changed the topic and said, "Ren Li is confirmed to be participating. Daxing Temple has also sent a few outstanding Mighty Ones. The same goes for the other sects and families. Don't underestimate them."
"Speaking of which, I haven't really fought with a direct disciple of Daxing Temple. This is a good opportunity to experience it! [Hands on hips expression]" Lou Cheng said excitedly.
"I say, Lou Cheng, can you not send me childish emojis when you're talking to me online? Every time I see you send such emojis, I'm thinking how sad it is to be defeated by such an opponent … "Peng Leyun sent an emoji covering his face and sighing.
He didn't delete all the words.
Damn, Daoist, you have such a venomous tongue? Also, what does that "two" mean? Explain!
Before Lou Cheng could type, a message from Ren Li suddenly came in.
"Lou Cheng, I think we've only fought once? And it's a draw! Let's determine the winner this time! "
"Sure!" Lou Cheng agreed without hesitation.
At this moment, he thought of Ann Chaoyang and wondered if he should ask Hipster if he would be participating in the preliminaries of Battle of the Kings.
This guy had said a while ago that he was about to break through. Did he?
Before Lou Cheng could ask Ann Chaoyang, Hipster had already sent him a message.
"I'm in Linfu. Want to meet for dinner tonight?"
"Sure." Lou Cheng sent an emoji of "There's only one truth". "You've broken through?"
"Yeah, I've finally reached the Inhuman stage. I've also stabilized my foundation!" Ann Chaoyang replied, half happy and half sad.
"Congrats, congrats!" Lou Cheng glanced at Tu Zheng and the rest at the side and lowered his head again. He found a name but didn't dare to ask.
This name was "Brother-in-law".
Ke said that he hadn't broken through in June. If he were to ask if he would be participating in the Battle of the Kings, it would definitely be a blow to him …
Forget it, there's still a chance in the future …
Lou Cheng was in a slightly complicated mood when the high-speed train stopped at Linfu Station.
This was a city famous for the Battle of the Kings!
