Hidden moth

Chapter 168: Little Fatty's Idle Sorrow

"I heard that Chunlin Pill can improve one's bones. What are the effects?"

It was still the same pedestrian food street, the barbecue restaurant where He Kao and Xiao Pang often went to eat skewers. He Kao took a skewer of pork loin and asked Wei Luo while eating.

Wei Luo's eating manners were much more elegant than He Kao's. He would first put the meat on the plate, then use chopsticks to pick up the meat and eat it with the dipping sauce, instead of just putting the skewers into his mouth.

She answered slowly, "As far as I know, Chunlin Dan is mainly used for children before they start practicing magic. It's not necessary for practitioners who have already started practicing magic."

He Kao: "Why is it unnecessary?"

Wei Luo's answer was very precise: "I can't say it's useless, but it's no longer necessary."

She took a bite of the waist and then explained, "Having already entered the cultivation stage proves that you are not limited by your aptitude. The process of practicing the technique itself can improve your physique. The effect is much more obvious than that of the Chunlin Pill. The higher your cultivation level, the more obvious the effect.

Therefore, for those who have already entered the realm of sorcerers, instead of hoping to improve their physique by taking Chunlin Pills, it is better to practice diligently. You have already reached the third level of cultivation, don't you feel the evolution of your body and mind?"

He Kao nodded quickly: "I can feel it, of course I can! Since cultivation can improve one's constitution, then to what extent can one ultimately achieve it?"

Wei Luo took a sip of his beer and said, "Let me put it this way. Legend has it that as long as one breaks through to the eighth level of cultivation, they can be reborn. Even if they lose an arm or a leg, they can grow it back..."

But I haven’t seen such a master in person, and even if I did, I wouldn’t know what he is like.”

He Kao said in surprise: "Can it grow back? Then the eunuchs in the palace in the past..." He felt that the topic was a bit indecent and stopped talking in time.

Wei Luo, however, was not too particular about his diet. With a slightly red face, he smiled and said, "Theoretically, it should be possible, but eunuchs are limited by their talents, so it's difficult for them to start practicing. Unless they have achieved success in practice first, and then enter the palace..."

At this point, she covered her mouth and giggled, feeling uncomfortable continuing.

For supper, she took off her coat and put it beside her. There was a small stove on the table, so she felt a little hot. Her face was red and looked very pretty. At this moment, she was smiling so hard that her body was shaking slightly. Her figure was also quite good, and she had a unique charm.

He Kao quickly changed the topic: "So, now that I've entered the cultivation stage, does that mean the Chunlin Pill is no longer important?"

Wei Luo: "If you don't mind wasting it, it's okay to take it. It can even help improve your physical condition. Just like this little skewer, it's okay if you don't eat it, but you can't say it's unnutritious if you eat it.

I have reached the fifth level of cultivation and have practiced fasting in a cave, but there is no need to just eat wind and drink dew for no reason.

For example, my master, who theoretically could achieve true abstention from food at the seventh level of cultivation, has not given up alcohol or meat, and is not only greedy, but also picky..."

The topic went off track again, and they started talking about fasting while eating skewers and drinking wine.

He Kao used to come here often with Xiaopang to eat skewers, but having a midnight snack with Wei Luo was much more interesting than with Xiaopang.

As for Huang Xiaopang, his experience tonight was also unforgettable.

In fact, Xiaopang has been very upset and uncomfortable since the Spring Festival, but he can't tell what's wrong. Sometimes he wants to talk to He Kao and ask him to help analyze the situation, but he feels unable to open his mouth.

It's really a feeling of sorrow and hesitation.

During the Spring Festival, He Kao made a big mistake, which made his aunt furious. His cousin He Shan was also scolded by her parents. Xiaopang, who had done good deeds without leaving his name, was embarrassed.

Fortunately, He Kao reflected on himself in time, stopped the situation, and took the debt on himself, which prevented further conflict between the Huang and He families.

He Kao ran away after he got into trouble, and even went on a road trip to Mao Luo Country, because the subsequent developments were no longer under his control, and there were some things that could not be done.

He Kao could neither change his aunt's decision nor influence Mother Chen's wishes.

During the Spring Festival, an intermediary brought the two families together and discussed the matter of marriage. In short, it felt that Xiaopang and Xiaoshan were a good match.

Not only He Kao, but even Xiaopang himself didn't know the specific process, but the two families eventually started talking. It wasn't Xiaopang and Xiaoshan who started talking, but the adults from both families started to negotiate the terms directly.

This actually made Xiaopang very depressed, because he and Xiaoshan had never been a couple. They had never even held hands and had never been in a relationship.

They didn't meet through a blind date, but have been neighbors since childhood. Under normal circumstances, shouldn't they first fall in love and establish an intimate relationship before the two families negotiate terms?
But this whole process was actually skipped, and the two families directly discussed the conditions. And he and Xiaoshan had never dated alone as a couple... How could they be so bullying?
Zhou Yan and He Changshan thought they could control the Huang family, and it seemed they did. Huang Si was willing to pay 150,000 yuan out of his own pocket to help He Shan solve her problem without her knowledge.

What does this mean? First, Huang Si definitely had feelings for He Shan, and second, he was wealthy and generous enough.

From Mother Chen's perspective, this incident also confirmed that her son had feelings for Xiaoshan. She had been urging Xiaopang to go on blind dates for a long time, and now that there was a ready-made partner, of course she had to try her best.

But what did Huang Xiaopang think? Honestly, it felt rather sudden… If Xiaoshan were his girlfriend, he would certainly be willing. He did have feelings for Xiaoshan, and had had them for a long time. Xiaoshan had even been the object of his vague adolescent fantasies.

Although Huang Xiaopang has never had a girlfriend, he feels that he is quite a scumbag. He always falls in love with everyone he meets. For example, if you ask him which one he really likes among the two-dimensional girls he draws, he will say he likes them all.

When he was playing games, he gave himself an online name - Huang Haiwang, which sounds very domineering and has a double meaning.

This giant in thought is actually a dwarf in action in some aspects. Although he has had a good impression of Xiaoshan for a long time, he has never tried to pursue her, maybe because they are too familiar with each other.

During this period, he always practiced martial arts with Meng Ya. In his eyes, Meng Ya was beautiful, capable, good-tempered and considerate. He also had a good impression of Meng Ya.

But in his subconscious, he didn't think Meng Ya would like him, and he didn't dare to think about it.

Now someone is trying to bring him and Xiaoshan together, which makes him feel a little emotional, but he always feels that things shouldn't be like this. After holding it in for a long time, he finally sent a message to Xiaoshan when he got off work today -

"How about we start a relationship and try it out for a while?"

For Xiaopang, if Xiaoshan is willing to be his girlfriend and establish an intimate relationship with him, he doesn't mind being a less serious licker to enjoy the pleasure of love... as long as the licking is not too excessive.

Unexpectedly, Xiaoshan sent a classic reply: "My mother won't let me!"

Xiaopang was depressed at the time, and besides being depressed, he was also a little angry: Your mother doesn't even let you have a relationship with me, why do you put forward so many conditions for marriage to my mother?
Xiaopang was still inexperienced, because Xiaoshan was talking about her mother not allowing it, not herself. Xiaopang could have easily said: Then let's not tell your mother first, and then find a way to make her agree...

It's a pity that Xiaopang is depressed alone, his mood is like a poem -

The affectionate moon should laugh at me, laugh at me now. I have failed my spring love, and I walk and chant alone.

Lately I am afraid to talk about what happened back then, as my collar is covered with orchids. The moon is dim and the lamp is dark, where can I find the clouds in my dreams?

As for the impact, there is definitely one. It would be fine if this hadn't happened, but these things happened and a certain feeling was inexplicably aroused. It's not a feeling directed at anyone in particular, it's just his own energy.

In the past, he would just watch action movies and practice his skills, but now he is worried and uneasy.

Huang Xiaopang received He Shan's reply message after work that day, while working overtime. By then, He Kao had already left. His depressed mood was noticed by Lao Zhang, the oldest colleague in the office, who invited him to have a drink.

Xiaopang and Lao Zhang came to the pedestrian street to eat skewers and talked about all sorts of things. Then Lao Zhang took Xiaopang to wash his feet... If He Kao and Wei Luo had come a little earlier, they might have met these two people.

Lao Zhang dragged Xiao Pang to a foot massage parlor he'd been to before and was very satisfied with. In the past, Xiao Pang wouldn't have come to such a place, but today, under Lao Zhang's guidance, he ordered the most expensive service package...

What does it feel like? Just like the lyrics go, "I feel a strange sense of emptiness."

In the early hours of the morning, Xiaopang came out of the foot massage parlor, spending a total of 3,600 yuan. He also paid for Lao Zhang's bill.

Lao Zhang thanked him, took a taxi, and left. A gust of night wind blew by, and he suddenly felt uneasy and a little ashamed, as if he had made a mistake. But at the same time, he also felt inexplicably relieved, no longer feeling so depressed.

The next day, when it was almost time to get off work, Lao Zhang wanted to ask him to have a foot bath again, but Xiaopang thought about it and decided to refuse.

But after dinner, he returned to the apartment, called home, and then played games as usual, but suddenly he felt that games were not interesting anymore.

Xiaopang didn't call Lao Zhang again. He quietly went out by himself, acting like a thief, and went to the foot massage parlor he went to yesterday... This was the only place he knew now, and he called the same service number as yesterday.

He came earlier today than yesterday, but left at about the same time as yesterday. When he left, he not only washed his feet but also took a bath. He felt very cool in the night breeze.

He smoothed his still wet hair with his hand, took out his cell phone and was about to call a taxi, but he opened his mouth and subconsciously wanted to dodge because he saw an acquaintance coming towards him.

Unfortunately, it was too late to dodge. The other party was coming towards him with a scrutinizing look in his eyes, which made him feel guilty.

He Kao blocked Huang Xiaopang at the entrance of the foot-washing city and asked, "Why are you here?"

Huang Xiaopang replied in a panic: "Foot washing city, it's just a place to wash feet."

He Kao: "Are you kidding me? Look in the mirror. Do you think you just washed your feet?"

Since he had been caught, Huang Xiaopang regained his usual composure. He smoothed his hair with his hands and said solemnly, "Xiao Kao, you don't understand me! I, your godfather, don't wash your feet, but the mud you walk through in the world."
