I meet all the requirements for becoming a god in this world!

Outside the door, the sounds of martial arts practitioners huffing and puffing as they trained their bodies could be heard.

Inside the room, Cheng Laiyun and the young lady locked eyes.

"Go ahead and say it."

Xu Jiayin looked at Cheng Laiyun in front of her, and the more she looked, the happier she became.

This is the precious treasure she found on her way home from the capital.

In just two or three days, one surprise after another came my way.

"Actually, I don't have any special requirements." Cheng Laiyun said somewhat awkwardly, lowering his head shyly.

"Having received the young lady's reward, I was thinking of going to the street tomorrow to buy some cosmetics and clothes for my cousin..."

"But I'm a rough person, and I don't know what my cousin would like to buy, so I was wondering if I could ask Miss to take me shopping?"

Neptune's Code, Rule Number One.

Try to create as many opportunities as possible to be alone with the fish.

Of course, this opportunity must be natural and never forced.

Xu Jiayin paused slightly upon hearing Cheng Laiyun's words, then giggled.

"You're quite filial! Fine! I'll take you with me when I go out in a couple of days!"

"Thank you, Miss!" Cheng Laiyun said solemnly. He brought over a chair for the young lady to sit down, thoughtfully warmed some tea for her, and offered her some melon seeds. He said earnestly:

"Young Miss, I've heard that after the Enlightenment Stage, the next phase of Body Tempering requires the use of cultivation techniques..."

"The martial arts techniques of the Martial Arts Academy..."

This is what Huo Dongqu told him last night after he helped Huo Dongqu back to his room.

If a martial artist wishes to glimpse the extraordinary path, they must lay a solid foundation.

The stronger the foundation, the greater the potential for future growth.

The foundation of a martial arts master lies in the techniques practiced during the Body Tempering stage.

The quality of cultivation techniques naturally varies.

The higher the quality of the cultivation method, the greater the achievements one can attain in the future.

In the Martial Arts Academy, the ordinary martial arts practitioners practice a technique called "Mangshan Strength," which is of good quality. According to Huo Dongqu, if one builds a foundation with this technique, one can reach the fourth-grade Great Yin-Yang Realm at the highest level.

Cheng Laiyun was new to the area and did not know what the Fourth Grade Great Yin-Yang Realm was.

This did not stop him from disliking the practice.

I.

Cheng Laiyun.

If there were no cheat codes, I wouldn't mind being an ordinary person.

The problem is, I've cheated, you know?

Do you know what "hanging" means?

Do you know what having a cheat code means?

How could I possibly practice such a trashy technique and sever my own foundation?

He resolutely refused to practice the trashy "Mangshan Jin" martial art.

Then Huo Dongqu revealed a knowing smile and took the opportunity to accept him as his personal disciple, intending to teach him higher-quality techniques.

Cheng Laiyun had his own plans.

I neither agreed nor refused.

I just said I'd think about it.

……

"I admit, I hesitated for a moment."

Cheng Lai looked at the young lady in front of him with a sincere gaze.

"But when I think about how I was only qualified to come into contact with the foundation of enlightenment because of the young lady's kindness."

"While I, Cheng Laiyun, am not exactly a gentleman, I am certainly not a villain either."

"How could I possibly become a slave to three masters?"

"Of course, I'll cultivate the cultivation technique given to me by the young lady!"

"Fix someone else's singing voice."

His gaze was firm, and his words were resolute:

"I immediately declined Master Huo's offer."

He stated the fact that he was waiting for a high price to sell himself, in a tone that suggested he was ready to die for his cause.

"Haha~"

Miss Xu was amused.

She smiled radiantly and gently patted Cheng Laiyun's shoulder with her soft little hand:

"What do you mean by 'traitor to three masters'? There's no need to use such harsh language."

"I have come to you today to discuss the matter of cultivation techniques."

As she spoke, she took a thin booklet from her bosom, placed it on the table, and raised her eyebrows slightly, saying:

"You were right to refuse Grandpa Huo."

"His Jade Toad Strength is indeed a technique that can lead directly to the Great Dao."

"But it's still a bit lacking compared to my Mo Sect's 'Phoenix Cry'."

He spoke casually, not noticing Cheng Laiyun's astonished gaze.

Cheng Laiyun's lips twitched as he watched Xu Jiayin pull out a thin book from her bosom.

I said, "Young lady, you're not that old, how come you're so well-developed?"

So, it was padded with something?

Of course, he also knew that this was not the point.

Looking at the thin book on the table.

Cheng Laiyun's heart skipped a beat.

Sure enough, I guessed right.

Feng Jiuming.

Just from the name, it sounds like no ordinary martial art!

However, his expression remained serious, and he didn't even glance at the book "Phoenix Nine Cries" on the table. Instead, his gaze was fixed intently on Xu Jiayin's almond-shaped eyes.

"I don't care about the technique itself."

"The only person I've ever cared about is you, Miss!"

Neptune's Code, Article 7.

When talking to any fish, always use double entendres!

What did Cheng Laiyun do in his previous life? To put it nicely, he was a fortune teller for wealthy women.

To put it bluntly, he's a male model, a playmate... He's a complete master at manipulating women and using suggestive language.

After the sound faded, the room became somewhat quiet.

Xu Jiayin had never heard such blunt words from a man before.

No matter what, she was still an unmarried girl.

Such ambiguous statements can easily lead people to misunderstand.

Looking at the handsome and sincere face of the young man in front of me...

Xu Jiayin's body appeared slightly stiff.

"Yes, I understand," she replied somewhat awkwardly, her eyes unconsciously glancing to the side.

Her slightly plump figure was also somewhat flustered, and her small hands unconsciously fiddled with the gold ingots that had been given to Cheng Laiyun as a reward on the table.

"Hmm? Miss, are you feeling unwell?" Cheng Laiyun looked at Xu Jiayin with feigned confusion, but his eyes were completely open and honest.

"No...no," Xu Jiayin shook her head, feigning calmness.

"I'm accepting this disciple on behalf of my master. You can just call me Senior Sister from now on. There's no need for you to act like a servant..."

The sound was a little soft.

"It was Miss who rescued me from prison. How could I forget such kindness?" Cheng Laiyun said solemnly, taking a big step forward to close the distance between himself and Xu Jiayin.

As he spoke, his warm breath fell on Xu Jiayin's face.

"In my heart, Miss is not only my senior sister, but also my Miss!"

Xu Jiayin felt her legs inexplicably go weak...

But Cheng Laiyun's control of this distance is extremely precise.

She was close, but not close enough for her to want to escape...

She looked at that handsome face so close to hers.

For a moment, I didn't even know what to say in response...

In her panic, she blinked and pointed to a colossal object hanging in the air ahead, changing the subject:

"He's been like this for 45 minutes... Is he really alright?"

It was only at this moment that Cheng Laiyun turned his attention to Qi Dazhuang.

The door to the room was open.

The winter wind was already quite strong, and when it blew into the room, it caused Qi Dazhuang, whose chin was hanging from the thick rope, to swing back and forth in the wind...

"It's okay, he often swings on the swing like this, just ignore him."

Cheng Laiyun glanced at the half-burnt incense stick on the table:

"Don't touch him before the incense has burned out; that's what he said himself."

"Oh~" Xu Jiayin nodded, seemingly understanding but not quite.

"This person is strange."

"You'll get used to it," Cheng Laiyun said, shrugging.

"Okay, I'll go now." Xu Jiayin walked forward somewhat awkwardly.

"I'll take you!"

"Need not…"

Watching Miss Xu's departing figure.

Cheng Laiyun unconsciously rubbed his chin, murmuring:

"Progress: 10%"

"Oh, right!" Xu Jiayin returned, carrying a porcelain bottle, and handed it to Cheng Laiyun:

"This is the Cold Marrow Dew supplemented by the 'Phoenix Nine Cries' technique. Use it first, and come find me if you need more."

"Hmm... Come find me tomorrow, and I'll take you to the street to pick something out for your cousin." Her eyes darted around.

He then left in a hurry.

Cheng Laiyun looked at the porcelain bottle in his hand.

Feeling the warmth emanating from the porcelain vase, I could faintly smell the lingering fragrance of her body on it...

A slight smirk appeared on his lips.

"Initiating the date..."

"It seems our prediction was wrong."

"This progress is at least twenty percent!"

……

"Wow, Laiyun, can you teach me?"

Qi Dazhuang climbed down the rope at some point and looked at the box of gold ingots on the table, as well as the thin manual of martial arts called "Feng Jiuming".

Those eyes were filled with amazement and admiration...

He had heard everything Cheng Laiyun had said to Xu Jiayin, including his probing and confrontation.
