The sky was not bright yet. The moonlight was like water, shining on the porch window. The house was also dimly lit.
Chu Li slowly practiced the Sentient Menace in the west room. He did the thirty-six postures in sequence. His mind was calm, without any form or ego.
Only when his mind was in this state would his movements be effective. If his mind was not calm, no matter how he practiced, it would be useless. He did not cultivate the Sentient Menace.
After the thirty-six postures, a strange force flowed along with his movements. His skin was washed once, and finally, the force entered his skin and merged with it.
Through the Omniscient Mirror, he saw that his skin was slightly changed by the force. It became tighter and more elastic.
He felt like he had infinite strength, as if he could break the sky with one punch.
He knew that it was an illusion, but the Sentient Menace did increase his strength. He had practiced it for about ten days and his strength had increased by half. It was shocking. He did not know what other miraculous things would happen in the future.
While he was practicing, a faint golden light flowed on his skin. It was no different from the leader of the Raging Tiger Troupe. Chu Li could tell that this guy had only scratched the surface of the Sentient Menace.
The Sentient Menace was like casting pearls before swine. If he cultivated it well, Chu Li would not be able to do anything to him. With a huge increase in strength, his speed would naturally increase as well. Especially the explosive force, it was impossible to defend against. The leader of the Raging Tiger Troupe could not defeat him, which was a disgrace to the Sentient Menace.
Thinking about this, Chu Li was even more afraid of the Tempest Temple. With such a divine technique, he did not know how powerful it would be. With such a martial art, how scary would the Tempest Temple be!
He was also secretly happy. The most important aspect of the Sentient Menace was the meditation technique. The deeper the meditation, the faster the strange force flowed. If the mind was shallow, the inner energy would be intermittent, and it would be almost impossible to cultivate.
He had the Omniscient Mirror, and his meditation technique was very deep. Cultivating the technique was very smooth.
He practiced from morning to night, and after eating, he immediately returned to the house to continue. He did not let Li Yue see him, in case he wanted to practice it secretly and cause endless harm.
The light in the house was dim, and it was filled with a rose color.
Just as he was about to leave the house, footsteps came from outside, accompanied by a faint fragrance. Su Ru stood at his window and looked in, "Chu Li, come, accompany me to the town!"
"Yes." Chu Li walked out of the west room.
Both of them exited from the south gate of the mansion and went straight into Chong Ming Town.
As the sun set, the entire Chong Ming Town was dyed a rosy color. Smoke rose from the chimneys, and the smell of burning firewood filled the air. It added a sense of life to the town. Chu Li could vividly feel the reality of this world. He was truly alive, and it was not just a dream.
Suru was dressed in an apricot gown, strolling leisurely on the streets. "Let's see which shop is suitable. I'll choose today."
Chu Li raised his eyebrows. They were going to choose a shop for the restaurant today.
The two of them walked around Chong Ming Town. Chu Li marked two shops that were not close to the street. They were on the other side of the main street and were deserted.
He felt that this place was suitable. On one hand, it was quiet, and on the other hand, good wine needed no privacy. In this day and age, as long as the food was well cooked, there was no need to worry that no one would come to eat.
After choosing the shop, night had fallen and the stars were twinkling in the sky.
The two of them arrived at Sky Inn, the best restaurant in Chong Ming Town.
When the waiter downstairs saw Suru, he hurriedly came over and said, "Chief Steward Su, this lowly one greets you. Chief Steward, please —!"
Suru waved her hand and said, "Just give us a table on the second floor."
"Yes, this lowly one will lead the way." The quick-witted waiter quickly nodded and brought the two of them to a table on the second floor.
He looked at the few seats near the window and said in a low voice, "Chief, do you need me to free up two good seats for you?"
"No need, this is it," Suru said.
Their seats were quite far away from the window. The surrounding seats were filled with people and it was a little noisy.
Suru sat down without a change in expression. "Let's follow the old rules. Give him a jar of good wine and six signature dishes. Hurry up."
"Yes, it's coming!" The waiter quickly nodded.
Chu Li glanced at it and frowned. What a coincidence.
The person at the opposite table looked up and his face darkened. He then saw Suru and quickly stood up. "Zhuo Feiyang greets Chief Steward Su!"
Bai Zhijie, who was beside him, also gave a fist salute and bowed.
Suru waved her hand and said, "No need to be so polite. We're all here to eat. Eat your food."
"Yes." The two of them retreated and returned to their seats to continue eating.
Suru looked at Chu Li and pursed her lips into a smile. "Enemies always meet. What a coincidence, isn't it?"
"He always comes here to eat. It's normal to bump into him," Chu Li said.
Zhuo Feiyang liked to enjoy life and was very good to himself. A Protector's salary was generous, so he was not short of money. Moreover, his family was very well-off, so he almost came to the Sky Inn for three meals a day. The Sky Inn was the best restaurant in the Chong Ming Town. It was very expensive, so most people could not afford it.
Suru shook her head and smiled. "Do you really want him to be a Protector?"
"No need." Chu Li shook his head. "He wants to kill me. Asking him to be a Protector is like inviting a wolf into the house!"
"You finally understand." Suru nodded. "You can't be careless when it comes to Protectors. Sometimes, you can lose your life if you're not careful. Oh right, how's the progress with Zhao Ying?"
"It's alright."
"You didn't even grab such a good opportunity?" Suru pursed her lips into a smile. "You've been alone for a month. A man and a woman alone together. Nothing happened?"
"No." Chu Li shook his head.
Suru rolled her eyes at him and scoffed. "Useless!"
Chu Li smiled bitterly. "Chief, Sister Zhao Ying isn't that kind of person. Don't scare her."
"You …" Suru shook her head and sighed. "You're too honest. You look like a smart person. How can you be so honest?"
Chu Li smiled embarrassedly. "I've never interacted with a woman before."
"You get along well with us." Suru smiled. "You're the first one who behaves so naturally in front of Lady Xiao. You don't lose your composure."
Lady Xiao's face was stunning and beautiful. Her beauty was like a physical force. Men were naturally powerless against this kind of power. They would all be affected. No man would not lose his composure in front of Lady Xiao.
Chu Li shook his head. "I can let go of Lady Xiao and Chief because I know myself. I won't have any improper thoughts. But it's different for her."
"I see …" Suru nodded. "Zhao Ying won't look down on you, right?"
"Of course not!" Chu Li shook his head.
"Sigh … next time. I'll try to let you two be together again when there's a mission." Suru smiled.
The two of them were sitting next to Zhuo Feiyang. Although it was noisy, he could still hear their conversation.
