Who let him join the Sword Sect!

Chapter 499 Dragon, Tiger, Leopard Massage Master Fairy

Upon hearing the word "treasure," Lily's treasure radar immediately went off.

She carefully put down the gold plate in her hand, craned her neck, and asked, "Where? Where is the treasure? Let me see!"

"Wait a minute, this little guy is a bit stubborn."

Qiao Lezhi turned her back to Zhang Ze while pulling hard on the rope in her hand.

As Qiao Lezhi exerted force, the rope in his hand glowed with a ring of golden light, clearly indicating that it was no ordinary object.

Amidst a tooth-grinding scraping sound, the so-called treasure was finally dragged out by Qiao Lezhi.

"What is this thing?" Ah Li rolled off Zhang Ze's head, ran to the thing, and licked it with her tongue.

"Smack, smack~ It's tasteless, not tasty." After saying that, Ah Li jumped back into Zhang Ze's arms.

What Qiao Lezhi dragged out was a humanoid creature, which looked somewhat like a twisted dough stick or a peanut with four limbs. It was grayish-white and had a rocky texture.

This thing has very long arms that stretch out horizontally forward. When facing this strange thing, you always feel like you're being stared at.

"What is this thing? Where is the treasure?" Lily asked curiously, tilting her head.

Qiao Lezhi still didn't turn around; she just turned to the side, but her eyes remained fixed on the stone-faced man.

"This is the treasure, but I don't know what it is, because I summoned it from the stone core," Qiao Lezhi said, scratching the back of his head with an innocent look.

Zhang Ze, "So you want to..."

"I'm a little reluctant to keep it anymore, so I'm thinking of giving it away. Why let the good stuff go to outsiders? I wanted to show it to you two first."

"How about it? This thing is actually quite fun to have at home."

Zhang Ze: "I understand, you're planning to abandon it."

Qiao Lezhi said, "Hehehe, what do you mean by abandoning or not abandoning? This is called graduation. We're sending talent to Sizhou and finding a better platform for my Mahua to advance."

Looking at the strange creature that Qiao Lezhi called a twisted dough stick, Zhang Ze sighed.

Because Shi Dan's summoning involves some cause and effect, and is essentially a wish made to Mother Sizhou.

It hasn't been widely implemented yet; it's been limited to small-scale testing and lotteries, and no matter what you draw, you have to take full responsibility.

Qiao Lezhi's behavior clearly constitutes abandonment.

But Qiao Lezhi said hesitantly, "It's not that I dislike it, it's just that it's really not suitable."

"You know, I'm someone who needs sleep, so when I made my wish, I wanted a big baby that I could hold while sleeping, like Mao Mao and A Li."

"Ideally, it should also be warm in winter and cool in summer."

"So?" Zhang Ze touched the twisted dough stick that Qiao Lezhi had summoned and found that it actually met Qiao Lezhi's needs quite well.

Despite the sweltering heat, this stuff felt very warm and smooth to the touch, cool to the touch but not chilly.

Moreover, it has a slightly elastic texture, and when its twisted body is laid on its side, there is just enough space to stretch out an arm. It is simply a natural-born pillow.

"Isn't this exactly what you wanted? Why don't you want it anymore?" Zhang Ze asked curiously.

Qiao Lezhi sighed, "Because this thing is so clingy. I have to keep an eye on it, otherwise it will massage me. It feels like being tickled, and I can't sleep at all."

Zhang Ze, "Massage?"

"Hmm." Qiao Lezhi nodded. "If you don't believe me, close your eyes."

Zhang Ze, Lily, and A Li obediently closed their eyes. The instant they closed their eyes, Zhang Ze sensed a ripple in the sea.

When she opened her eyes again, Ma Hua, who had just been facing Qiao Lezhi, had run behind her and was now tightly gripping Qiao Lezhi's shoulders and neck.

"Look, this is how you massage," Qiao Lezhi said, twisting her neck comfortably, making a series of popping sounds like her knuckles cracking.

However, watching Ma Hua's strained movements, which were almost like he was about to fart, Zhang Ze felt that this was not a massage.

Ma Hua probably intended to strangle Qiao Lezhi, but it seems unable to break through Qiao Lezhi's defenses?
What was a meticulously planned strangulation turned into a thoroughly enjoyable muscle massage.

Zhang Ze, "emmmm"

In a sense, this thing is really a treasure.

Lily looked on with envy. She was looking for a little brother to massage her. Although Fu Ji's technique was also very good, it was too good. Some of the massages were still hard to enjoy and were too much for her.

Although I was envious, the fact that I had to keep an eye on this thing was a hassle.

But after thinking about it, Lily quickly came up with an idea.

She crawled under the table and activated the room's mechanism. Soon, a bronze pillar emerged from under the floor, and as the pillar rose, a circular magic circle unfolded around it.

With Qiao Lezhi's help, Lily tied the twisted dough stick to the bronze pillar.

“Try closing your eyes,” Lily said.

As Mahua disappeared from the three people's sight, the ripples in the sea surged again, but this time Mahua did not give anyone a 'massage'.

The Immortal Binding Rope was stretched taut, and the bronze pillar and magic array restricted Ma Hua's movements.

“Look, now he can not only give massages, but also be used as a clothes rack.”

Before Zhang Ze could speak, Lily stood in front of Ma Hua and snapped her fingers. Like an octopus spraying ink, a black mist appeared in front of Zhang Ze and Qiao Lezhi, obscuring their vision.

As the gaze disappeared, Mahua locked onto Lily as her target.

then
"Help! Help me! I'm dying! I'm going to die!"

Lily's wails came from the black mist.

As it turns out, not all outcasts are as gentle as Fuuka, and not everyone has a body as fragile as Lily's.

However, there is some good news.

That is, Lily proved with half her own life that twisted dough sticks still have a certain degree of danger.

Now Qiao Lezhi can legitimately hand over Mahua to Qianji Pavilion under the pretext of taking it in.

While administering medicine to Lily to restore her health after she was rescued, Zhang Ze glanced at Mahua, who was staring intently at him.

Suddenly, he thought of a good place.

That place seems like a good place to 'take in' the twisted dough sticks.

Zhang Ze glanced at the time and saw that there was still some time before the appointment with the Buddhist sect, so he waved.

“Senior Sister Qiao, come with me, I’ll take you to a nice place,” Zhang Ze said.

West of Qianji Town.

Zhang Ze led Qiao Lezhi, Qiao Lezhi led Mahua, while Ali lay on Mahua's head, staring at Mahua's face to prevent it from pinching passersby.

Although given the current purity of the Qi in Qianji Town, even a dog passing by on the roadside might be at the Qi Refining stage.

Even if you search the entire town, you might not find many humanoid beings with a weaker constitution than Lily.

But just in case, it's best to be cautious.

"Hey, I knew it! Even though we're good friends, I'm still a lady from a respectable family. Is it appropriate for you to bring me to a place like this?"

Qiao Lezhi looked at the building in front of him and teased Zhang Ze.

The building in front of me was magnificent and ostentatious, its nouveau riche style no less impressive than that of the Zha Shide building, and the words on the plaque were even more blunt.

Dragon Tiger Leopard Massage

These five words not only expressed Lao Tang's homesickness, but also clearly informed his clients of the dangers lurking within.

"You're overthinking it. This is a vegetarian restaurant. The meat dishes are at Shuihuifang next door. Uh, Xiao Tang told me all this. I've never been there," Zhang Ze said honestly.

Pushing open the door, I was greeted by two burly men with their arms crossed.

A tiger-like man and a leopard-like man stood with their arms crossed, looking like domineering security guards, but their tails were swishing back and forth, probably because they had just been chatting about something fun.

"This place is purely for massage. It's where disciples from Longhu Mountain and Yaowang Valley practice their skills, using massage to identify meridians and learn medical principles."

"Old Tang just thought it was cool to call them Dragon, Tiger and Leopard."

“I understand the logic, but what about the dragon?” Ah Li asked, perched on her twisted head.

The show was supposed to feature a dragon, tiger, and leopard, but only the tiger and leopard were there to greet the guests; there was no dragon.

"We'll have to wait a couple of days until those mountain and sea dragons learn the transformation technique. Then we can launch a one-stop service."

Zhang Ze walked ahead, picked up the twisted dough stick, and explained to A Li as he went up to the second floor.

Upon arriving on the second floor, at the reception desk, a dolphin-like girl, a rare sight even among demons, was dozing off while working.

The left half of my brain is working on a table, while the right half is sleeping.

Seeing someone arrive, Dolphin Sister quickly woke up. "Welcome! Do you have a reservation?" "No, but I have a membership card. Is 9527 available right now?" Zhang Ze took out the platinum membership card that Lao Tang had given him.

"I happen to be free now, but..." Dolphin Girl flipped through the appointment schedule.

Zhang Ze: "It's okay, I'll just talk to it for a bit and then I'll be out."

Dolphin Girl: "No problem. You have a maximum of half an hour. Go straight ahead and turn right to teleportation array number three. However, you may have to wait a while at the entrance after you arrive, as there is another guest inside."

Qiao Lezhi then realized that this place seemed to be a legitimate massage parlor. Based on the principle of not taking advantage of a bargain, she borrowed a waist token from Zhang Ze and leaned against the counter.

"Is it too late for me to book now? I need the one with the strongest grip and the best technique."

"Okay, let me." Dolphin Girl looked at the appointment form with her left eye, but her right eye happened to see someone walking out from around the corner of the corridor.

"Sister Yueyue! We have a job here, a VIP guest, please take a look."

"Little Dolphin greeted her."

Qiao Lezhi turned around and saw a short man dressed in Medicine King Valley clothing walking out from the corner of the corridor behind him.

He was a little taller than Lily, with short hair, a blade of grass in his mouth, and looked unhappy.

The person known as Sister Yueyue also saw Qiao Lezhi at this moment.

Her eyes quickly swept over the waist badge, the front desk, and Qiao Lezhi, and she soon deduced the whole story. She shook her head.

"If the job you're talking about is this idiot, then I won't take it. This idiot is as hard as iron, it's incredibly difficult to hold her down, and even if you put her to sleep, she'll sleepwalk and start hitting you."

The two clearly knew each other.

"You're the idiot! I read for half an hour every day now!" Qiao Lezhi retorted.

"Heh." Sister Yueyue ignored her completely and turned away.

As Qiao Lezhi watched Yueyue's retreating figure, she didn't know what she was thinking, but she suddenly rushed up and picked her up in her arms.

"If you won't press it, then I'll press it for you!"

"You bastard! Let go!"

"I went out for a stroll during the Qinghe Gathering and didn't run into you. Now's the perfect time for us to have a friendly spar!"

"Get out of here!"

"I'll show you what it means for knowledge to be power!"

Dolphin Girl watched the two figures walk further and further away, raised her hand, and finally chose to pretend that she hadn't seen anything, and erased Sister Yueyue's name from today's appointment list.

They only get this much salary a month, why bother with so much? As long as they're happy.

While Qiao Lezhi was rebelling against the Heavenly Gang and tormenting his employees, Zhang Ze also brought A Li and Ma Hua to the door of Master No. 9527.

Through the transparent glass door, Ah Li raised one eye and saw the true face of Master 9527.

It’s a little earth fairy.

After several rounds of education, this unfortunate stone doll has finally found its promised land.

I have found an ideal that I can pursue for the rest of my life.

That is giving people massages.

Of course, in the little fairy's eyes, he was hitting someone.

However, because he was so weak, others thought he was just giving a massage.

The massage was quite good.

The little fairy was seen flying up and down on the back of the guest in the room, using various props and ointments like a celestial maiden scattering flowers, while his guest let out a series of comfortable groans.

Zhang Ze explained to A Li, "The second floor only accepts guests at the Golden Core Realm and above. Let Ma Hua try here. If it doesn't work out, then we'll have to send him back to the Thousand Machine Pavilion and lock him up."

"As for why he's called Little Earth Fairy... it's because he's quite free. Now, besides giving massages, he's also building blocks. And since he's also made of stone, he's not afraid of being pinched by twisted dough sticks."

"Maybe they can have something in common."

After the service in the room ended, Zhang Ze went inside.

Just as the ever-energetic Master Xian'er was about to shake out the blanket to invite the next guest to lie down, she saw that the person who came in was Zhang Ze.

Having already been diagnosed with PTSD, Zhang Ze immediately rolled off the bed and crawled under it.

"What are you doing here? Let me tell you, I haven't caused any trouble lately. You're not allowed to bury me alive, you're not allowed to use me as a meteor hammer, and you're not allowed to give me to Mao Mao to play with again."

Zhang Ze scratched his face, wondering if he was really that bad.
"Hey, I'm not here to mess with your mind today, I'm here to give you a disciple."

As he spoke, Zhang Ze put the twisted dough sticks off his shoulder.

Upon hearing this, Little Fairy crawled out from under the massage bed and looked at Twisted Doughnut with curiosity.

As their eyes met, something magical happened.

When Mahua saw the little fairy, it suddenly moved.

It, which usually stays still when someone is watching, bent down, then slowly crawled off the bed, hugged its knees, and lay on its side on the floor, beginning to tremble slowly.

It seemed to be afraid, afraid of the little earth fairy.

I've never seen anything like this in my life.

Little Earth Fairy also noticed this, and after a brief moment of surprise, he immediately became smug and perked up.

He crawled back under the bed and up to Mahua.

A moment later, Mahua slowly crawled out from under the bed, crawled to the corner of the room, hugged his knees, faced the corner of the wall, and pretended to be a stone.

It was genuinely afraid.

This was quite a novel experience for the little earth fairy; how could someone be afraid of him?

"Good, good, good! I think this apprentice is wonderful. It's a deal, you'll let me play with it. Ah, no, I mean I'll teach it. You can't go back on your word." He said, looking at Zhang Ze.

Little Fairy rode on Mahua's head, barking loudly, and pulled out a work badge from her overalls and stuck it on Mahua's body.

"From now on, you are my little brother 173. Remember, a teacher for a day is a father for life. From now on, I am your father!"

Zhang Ze, “.”

The saying "one thing subdues another" probably applies here.

However, just to be on the safe side, Zhang Ze temporarily kept Ma Hua tied up, limiting its movement to the massage room. He would decide whether to let it roam freely after the observation period ended.

"I'm leaving now. You do your work well."

Little Earth Fairy, like a lecherous old man, touched his twisted dough stick, waved his hand without turning his head, indicating that there was no need to say more.

……

After leaving Dragon Tiger Leopard Massage and returning to the throne above Zhang Ze, Ah Li suddenly thought of something.

"By the way, could the twisted dough stick also be some kind of ancient worship?"

Zhang Ze: "Huh? Are there really people this weak?"

He took out the book of the Hundred Gods of the Mountains and Seas, flipped through it, but couldn't find anything similar.

"Maybe it's because it's weak that no one recorded it," Ah Li said, licking her lips. "But I just licked it and its taste seems familiar."

"It is somewhat similar to the innate Dao Pill that the Great Mother Goddess gave you before, but it is only similar, not from the same source."

During his adventure in Lingzhou with his junior sister, Zhang Ze encountered a primordial deity known as the Great Mother Goddess, who gifted him a Primordial Dao Pill.

Zhang Ze, "You mean the reason Mahua is afraid of Little Earth Fairy is because it thinks Little Earth Fairy is related to the Great Mother Goddess?"

Ah Li said, "I think so. And Ma Hua's almost instantaneous movement when he is not being watched should also be a kind of innate supernatural power."

"Hmm, I suggest you bring the fried dough twists with you when you go to Baiyujing in a few days. They might come in handy."

Just as Zhang Ze was about to ask the reason, a small grass by the roadside suddenly grew to be more than a person tall.

Xiaoxue's face appeared on the blade of grass.

"So you've been here. Come on, I'll take you to the Buddhist temple."

Zhang Ze: "Huh? Is Senior Sister Xiaoxue going too?"

Xiaoxue: "Yes, it's been a long time since I was stolen from the Buddhist sect by my master. Today is a good day to go back and take a look."

"Don't worry, I've already taken care of what you asked me to do. I've given those talismans that contain a trace of magical power to Xiangxiang."

After saying that, without waiting for Zhang Ze to speak, the little grass clone transformed into a grass whirlwind, carrying Zhang Ze and A Li straight to the Buddhist temple.
