After I stopped trying, a rich woman trained me into a demon emperor.

"Smack."

A crisp sound broke the tranquility of the courtyard in the early morning.

As if divinely inspired, the wooden chopsticks in Zhou Ran's hand struck a point in the void.

A suppressed cry of pain escaped from the void.

Su Qingling's fingertips trembled violently. She pulled her hand back as if she had been electrocuted, clutching the back of her hand and jumping around in place, her eyes reddening with pain.

Upon hearing the commotion, Qin San gripped the hilt of his sword with his right hand and scanned his surroundings with his hawk-like eyes.

"The boss?"

"Have a meal."

Zhou Ran didn't lift his eyelids.

He leisurely picked up a mouthful of rice noodles coated in red oil and meat sauce, and gently blew on it.

Steam rises, carrying with it an irresistible, mouthwatering aroma.

"The stray cats in the yard have a bit of a sweet tooth."

Zhou Ran's voice was languid, with a hint of nonchalant mockery.

Su Qingling's cheeks puffed out, making her look like an angry little pufferfish.

wildcat?

Your whole family are stray cats!

This young lady is a genius girl from a hidden sect!

She waved her small fists and punched Zhou Ran's face repeatedly. If it weren't for the so-called "Heavenly Rank Invisibility Talisman" on her, the action would have looked exactly like she was being coquettish.

"Glug."

I heard a swallowing sound coming from beside me.

That's my older sister, Su Qingwu.

Having not eaten for three days, coupled with the overwhelming power of this bowl of "Great Rescue" rice noodles, even this ethereal fairy could not resist it.

"Sis! Never mind!"

Su Qingling, driven by a wicked impulse, pulled out a pair of silver chopsticks from her waist.

"If this guy is stingy and won't give it to us, we'll just rob him!"

"Mortals are blind; I refuse to believe he can stop it!"

As soon as the words were spoken, a flash of silver light appeared!

This chopstick technique, named "Spirit Snake Explores the Darkness," is a variation of the sect's swordplay, emphasizing speed, accuracy, and ruthlessness.

The target was the largest piece of crispy pork in Zhou Ran's bowl!

If the speed is fast enough, ordinary people will just think they are seeing things!

however.

Just as the silver chopsticks were about to touch the crispy pork.

"when!"

The sound of metal clashing is crisp and pleasant.

Zhou Ran's wooden chopsticks pierced through the air, blocking the path of the silver chopsticks.

It's like waiting for a rabbit to run into a tree stump.

Two pairs of chopsticks collided.

A strange vibration traveled from the silver chopsticks to Su Qingling's fingers, spread through her arm, and rushed straight to her spine.

Crispy.

numb.

Su Qingling's body trembled violently, her legs went weak, and she almost lost her footing.

Damn!

Is this the drawback of the "Tidal Holy Body" that Master mentioned?

The reaction was so violent from just a slight external force!

"coincide!

It must be a coincidence!

He just happened to be picking up that piece of meat; how could he have seen us!

Su Qingling gritted her teeth, suppressing the strange sensations within her body. With a flick of her wrist, she sent the silver chopsticks twirling in mid-air, circling around the side and launching a sneak attack on the other side of the meat chunks.

This time, I'm channeling all my spiritual power into my fingertips!

"when!"

The sound grew louder.

Those ordinary wooden chopsticks, as if they had foreseen the future, had already stopped there.

The volatility intensified.

Su Qingling felt a tingling numbness on one side of her body, and almost dropped the silver chopsticks.

Just then, Zhou Ran clearly saw Su Qingwu squeeze her legs together and a blush flash across her cheeks.

Could it be that the two women can share their senses?!

However, Zhou Ran didn't stop what she was doing. She calmly picked up a piece of meat and put it in her mouth.

chew.

Swallow.

That look of enjoyment was like torture for the starving Su Qingling.

"Light and agile... Don't try it."

Su Qingwu noticed something amiss, pulled back her younger sister who was about to rush forward again, her voice trembling.

"He...he seems to be able to see..."

"Qin San".

Zhou Ran put down his chopsticks, cutting off Su Qingwu's words.

She grabbed a tissue, elegantly wiped away the red oil from her lips, and her gaze pierced through the illusion, locking onto the "air" in front of her.

A purple glint flickered in his eyes, as if he were playing with something.

"Add two pairs of chopsticks."

Qin San was slightly taken aback, scratched his head and said:

"Boss, isn't it just the two of us?"

"We have a guest."

Zhou Ran's lips curled up slightly, his teasing expression growing even stronger.

He raised his right hand, joined his index and middle fingers together, and casually pinched them together in the air.

The movements were understated, yet exuded absolute dominance.

"what!"

"Don't!"

Two sweet cries rang out in unison.

Zhou Ran's fingers pierced straight through the spatial ripples, accurately clamping down on two pieces of yellow paper covered with scribbles.

Pull hard.

scoff.

The air rippled like water, and two living people who were not originally there were exposed to the sunlight.

Su Qingling and Su Qingwu remained frozen in place, as if they were under a spell.

The two "Heavenly Invisibility Talismans" that Zhou Ran treasured were being held between his two fingers, swaying in the wind like waste paper.

"This kind of scribbles is really of poor quality."

Zhou Ran rubbed his fingers together lightly, releasing demonic energy.

The talisman instantly turned to ashes and vanished without a trace.

Su Qingling's beautiful eyes widened as she stared at Zhou Ran, who was standing right in front of her.

The purple glint in the man's eyes sent a chill down her spine.

Before this person, even a Foundation Establishment cultivator is like an ant looking up at a divine dragon!

"You...you can see?!"

Su Qingling's voice trembled as she recalled the various shameful acts she had just committed under the other party's nose, and she felt as if her whole body was about to break apart.

It turns out he can see more than just things.

They're treating it like a monkey show!

"They started talking about my eating habits as soon as I walked in."

Zhou Ran leaned forward, exuding a strong sense of pressure.

"Trying to dine and dash is one thing, but to use 'Snake Probing the Dark' on me is quite another?"

His gaze swept over the silver chopsticks Su Qingling held in mid-air, and her hands, which were slightly red from the tremors.

"What's wrong? Your hand isn't numb anymore?"

hum!

Su Qingling felt her blood rush to her head, turning red from her neck to her ears.

You've been seen through!

Overwhelmed by shame, she lost all reason and wished she could disappear into the ground.

"sit."

Zhou Ran composed himself and pointed to the stone bench opposite him.

The words uttered were almost like law.

The two sisters, who had just been so aggressive and wanted to "rob the rich to help the poor," were now as well-behaved as elementary school students who had done something wrong, sitting down with their legs together.

Qin San rushed out with the new chopsticks, and his eyes nearly popped out of their sockets when he saw the two stunningly beautiful women in ancient costumes suddenly appear in the void.

"Boss, this..."

Zhou Ran tossed the chopsticks in front of the two of them, his tone returning to its lazy manner.

"Boss Feng, bring two bowls."

"Add more meat sauce."

"Look how hungry the child is, he's even hallucinating, thinking that sticking a piece of toilet paper on him will make him invisible."

Although Feng Lili was surprised, she was also a woman of the world.

With exceptional professionalism, they quickly brought over two bowls of steaming hot rice noodles.

The rich aroma of meat broke down the sisters' last psychological defenses.

Su Qingwu still wanted to maintain the composure of the immortal sect, her gaze shifting between Zhou Ran and Mixian, swallowing her saliva.

"Um... well, we..."

"If we don't eat it, we'll feed it to the dogs."

Zhou Ran ignored them and picked up a piece of pickled radish.

These words immediately dispelled any pretense.

"eat!

Why aren't you eating!

Su Qingling steeled her resolve, her eyes reddening with both shame and hunger.

"It's better to die well-fed than starving!"

She grabbed her chopsticks and, ignoring the fact that they were scalding hot, slurped them down.

The sour, spicy, and savory flavors explode in your mouth, so delicious it makes you want to cry.

This person is not a bad person.

He's clearly a vicious scoundrel with a sharp tongue but a kind heart!

Seeing the two wolfing down their food, a subtle glint flashed in Zhou Ran's eyes.

Tidal Sacred Body.

Early stage of foundation building.

In addition, there is a naive mindset with no practical experience.

These are hardly two little thieves stealing food.

These are clearly two superb "power banks" delivered right to our doorstep by God!
