"This is the shower switch. Blue is for cold water, and red is for hot water."

Shen Qing turned on the switch and watched the water gushing out from the high showerhead. Shen Qingtang nodded with wide eyes.

"But be careful, this thing is one of the most sophisticated mechanisms in the world."

He turned off the switch and earnestly instructed:

"Twist it to the left, and you'll get a level 10 burn; twist it to the right, and you'll get Frostmourne. If you're not careful, it'll either get too cold or too hot. Try it yourself."

Shen Qingtang stepped forward blankly, easily mastering the controls. Although she turned the switch on and off, her curious expression revealed a hint of silliness.

This is normal, though; most people will unconsciously act silly when faced with something they've never encountered before.

Or rather, bewildered.

After Shen Qing explained the various toiletries and how to use the toilet, she saw her nod and then left the bathroom.

Shen Qingtang was just about to close the door.

With a "snap," Shen Qing reappeared, clinging to the door, and looked at her with wide eyes, like a frightened kitten, explaining:

"Don't be nervous. I just wanted to let you know that I don't have any women's clothing here, so you'll have to make do with mine for now."

"Don't lock the door yet."

After saying that, Shen Qing rummaged through the room and brought out her own clothes. "Here, as for women's clothes... let me see what the situation is."

If he doesn't have time, he'll have to ask someone else for help.

After confirming that there was nothing else to tell him, Shen Qing sat back on the sofa and suddenly fell into a daze.

Suddenly encountering someone from the past feels so strange. If this had happened a week ago, he probably wouldn't have believed it even if you beat him to death.

"They even know about supernatural beings, so they must possess some ancient secret manuals, right?"

He muttered to himself, feeling that he was overthinking things. What could a little girl who at most knew some basic martial arts possibly know?

……

When Shen Qingtang came out, Shen Qing had just left. The room was empty, and she felt a little lost for a moment.

"Shen...Qing?"

Not hearing a reply, she instinctively reached for the discarded knife.

The moment her fingers touched the scabbard, with a "click," the door suddenly opened, and she almost immediately sprang up and hid behind the sofa, only peeking out with half her head sticking out.

"it's me."

Shen Qing walked in carrying a new mattress and a summer quilt. After confirming that it was a new mattress, Shen Qingtang hesitated before coming out from behind the sofa.

Then he saw that the female bodyguard was wearing the white shirt and trousers he had worn during his interview, and her hair was wet.

She would also tug at the corner of her clothes every now and then.

How should I put it? Like a lotus emerging from clear water.

But he's a decent person and wouldn't have any ulterior motives, and besides, his ex-girlfriend was outstanding.

"Here are bedding. Go and rest if you're sleepy."

Shen Qing handed over the bedding, and Shen Qingtang took it subconsciously. Then she stared at him without moving, her eyes seemingly filled with confusion.

"I know you still have a lot of questions, and you may not have accepted all of this yet, but it's getting late, and you probably haven't had a proper rest these past few days."

Seeing the dark circles under the female镖头's eyes, Shen Qing pointed to the side-lying position and said:

"So, go and rest first. We can talk about any problems tomorrow."

Finally, at Shen Qing's suggestion, Shen Qingtang nodded and went to the side bedroom, which contained only a single bed, a bedside table, and a small lamp.

"If you're not used to the dark, you can leave this small table lamp on."

Shen Qing helped her close the door slightly, and the footsteps gradually faded away.

Shen Qingtang still couldn't sleep, so she sat on the bed, holding her waist knife tightly in her arms.

From inexplicably arriving in this place to wandering, to being taken in by this young man who claimed to be an official... he was a good person, and it all seemed like a dream.

Second Uncle, Aunt, Anding Escort Agency...

She closed her eyes, and familiar scenes from her memories resurfaced, making her realize that everything had truly changed, and she didn't know if she could ever go back.

Fear and confusion enveloped her, causing Shen Qingtang to involuntarily shrink back.

……

Next door, Shen Qing, who was scrolling through her phone, also found it hard to fall asleep.

So much has happened today, and the world is getting stranger and stranger. It all started a week ago when I saw a ghost, and my cheat ability was activated.

Now they've picked up a female镖头 (bodyguard/escort) who seems to be from ancient times, although to be precise, she didn't pick them up, she practically offered herself up...

If a normal person encountered something so outrageous, most of them probably wouldn't hand it over to the state, right?

Just like his cheat code, it's the same principle.

"Never mind, let's continue cultivating."

Shen Qing suddenly stood up. Compared to sleeping, he felt that sitting still would calm him down more. He pulled out a Qi and Blood Pill that the team had previously sponsored from his clothes.

He wanted to see how it would go.

Swallow in one bite.

Aside from being a little choking, there didn't seem to be any other reaction?

The moment the thought arose in Shen Qing's mind, his blood seemed to boil—it was so hot. He had only this one thought in mind.

Then came a sharp, deep pain that went right to his bones, as if his bones were being hammered and quenched by a hammer, as if they were made of iron.

His skin began to turn red and hot, and puffs of white steam rose up.

"..."

"No wonder you can't eat too much."

After an unknown amount of time, Shen Qing suddenly opened his eyes. His body crackled and popped. He let out a long sigh of relief, and a look of joy flashed in his eyes.

Although this pill was indeed painful, its effects were also very obvious.

He would normally need five or six days to break through to the late stage of the ninth rank, but one pill saved him about two days.

All fifty-one bones in the torso were successfully tempered; the next step was the limbs, and then the skull.

"clang!"

Shen Qing suddenly punched himself in the chest, producing a sound like metal clashing.

"Now I guess it's really possible to try stopping a handgun bullet."

Of course, this is on the premise that the bullet does not go through the gaps between the bones to directly attack the internal organs.

After the initial joy, the side effects of the pill had not completely disappeared, and Shen Qing couldn't help but gasp.

The pain he had just experienced still lingered in his mind; this elixir was indeed not suitable for continuous use.

Just as I was about to take a break, my ears suddenly twitched slightly.

"Asleep?"

The walls weren't very thick, and since he wasn't exactly an ordinary person, he could hear a steady breathing coming from next door.

"I'll take a nap too."

Shen Qing stood up, feeling sore all over. After taking a shower, she lay down on the bed, closed her eyes, and quickly fell asleep.

When I opened my eyes again, sunlight streamed in.

Boom boom boom!

Shen Qing, who was still not fully awake, suddenly stood up.

"Damn, I almost forgot Xie Chong was coming to clean up that demon's corpse today."

He strode out of the room.

Overnight, even the demons with power within them developed a certain scent, but fortunately, there were very few households in the entire neighborhood.

Shen Qingtang was already awake. Hearing the knocking on the door, she looked bewildered and somewhat at a loss.

Standing in front of his door, she seemed to want to knock but dared not.

"Good morning."

Shen Qing greeted him, and Shen Qingtang subconsciously looked out the window. It was almost Chenshi (7-9 AM). Was it still early?

Without paying attention to the female镖头's thoughts, he explained:

"The person outside is my colleague, who is also an official. But as you know, helping you is my personal action, so you need to stay in the room for now and it's best not to make a sound."

Shen Qingtang nodded and went back to her room.

"No, what are you dawdling about?"

Hearing Xie Chong's impatient voice outside the door, Shen Qing quickly went over and opened the door.

"I'm here! Can't I just woke up?"
