Under One Person: I, Jiaqian Jushi, work from nine to five

...

On the other hand, Zhou Fengliu was also very curious about his current strength.

He originally thought that by participating in this Luo Tian Grand Ceremony, he could indirectly understand his current level of strength in the world of supernatural beings.

But who would have thought that this competition would be devoid of any truly capable players...

No one has ever seen anyone who could withstand his full-force attack... This makes it difficult for him to understand his exact strength.

As a result, his assessment of his own strength was still that it was unknown, and that he was strong when facing strong opponents and weak when facing weak opponents.

【Ding--】

Just as Zhou Fengliu was pondering, his phone suddenly beeped with a message notification.

He snapped out of his daze, checked his phone, and discovered it was Feng Shayan.

Feng Shayan: [I've transferred 300,000 to you. It's the card my dad gave you last time...]

Upon seeing the message, Zhou Fengliu sat up straight, his thoughts instantly pulled back to reality.

【? 】

He sent a question mark.

Here's the... agreed-upon price.

Feng Shayan replied shortly afterward.

Upon seeing this message, Zhou Fengliu pondered for a moment.

Last night... he didn't agree to Feng Shayan's request either.

I didn't agree to that last night... Besides, I didn't break Wang Bing's three legs...

The other party is typing...

[I'll take that as a yes. This is way worse than breaking three of his legs, you don't know that? Breaking news, Wang Bing is practically crippled, he might not wake up and will remain in a vegetative state. This is much worse than breaking three of his legs...]

"..."

Zhou Fengliu remained silent, then thought that Feng Shayan was a good person.

Able to handle...

She really does give money.

Rich woman...

She's incredibly rich.

He thought for a moment and then replied.

You're a good person, easy to get along with. From the first moment I saw you, I felt you were someone I could... a person of good taste.

【roll】

Okay!

Zhou Fengliu had just put down his phone when he heard someone calling him from outside the door. He peeked out and found that it was Lu Linglong.

"Miss Lu? You were looking for me?"

“Yes and no, it’s my great-grandfather who asked me to come to his place with you.” Lu Linglong nodded first and then shook her head.

"Old Master Lu?" Zhou Fengliu frowned slightly when he heard that it was Lu Jin who was looking for him, sensing that something was wrong.

Could this be... a setup for me?

"Why did Old Master Lu want to see me?"

“I don’t know…” Lu Linglong replied.

"Okay, I'll get dressed... wait a minute."

Zhou Fengliu changed his clothes and then followed Lu Linglong to where Lu Jin was.

Chapter 85: Lu Jin's Nighttime Reunion with the Old Celestial Master... (Bonus Chapter)

Lu Linglong seemed quite uncomfortable throughout the journey, her hair standing on end one moment and her face flushing slightly the next, lost in thought. As they drew closer to her great-grandfather's location, she finally mustered the courage to ask:

"Um... there's a question I'm curious about, I don't know if it's convenient for you to answer it."

"Um... go ahead and ask, Miss Lu."

After receiving confirmation from Zhou Fengliu, Lu Linglong swallowed hard and said somewhat awkwardly:

"Um, you and Master Lingyu..." she said, her face turning even redder, like a ripe apple.

"Were you and Master Lingyu... particularly close, more than just friends... those kinds of friends?"

Especially intimate?

Beyond friendship?

As Zhou Fengliu listened to the description and saw the expectant look on Lu Linglong's face, he realized what Lu Linglong wanted to ask.

"Do you think that Zhang Lingyu and I were ever in a male-on-male relationship?"

"Ah, right." Lu Linglong responded at first, then realized something and quickly shook her head: "No, no, I was just curious and guessing... it's not my guess, it's... what Hua'er and the others said..."

"Zhang Lingyu and I have absolutely nothing to do with what you've imagined. Also, Miss Lu, rumors stop with the wise, and you should be careful when making friends, because bad friends can be harmful."

"That's not a very good question. Don't ask it again next time," Zhou Fengliu said to Lu Linglong in a serious tone.

When Zhou Fengliu stared at her so intently, Lu Linglong felt as if she were being watched by a wolf. Her mind involuntarily drifted back to the scene of being forced into a fight, which made her even more afraid to say anything more.

Seeing her tuft of hair standing on end, she nodded as if her computer had crashed, indicating that she understood.

A moment later.

Zhou Fengliu arrived at Lu Jin's location. What he saw was a large courtyard with a spacious open space in the middle. Some lights were on in the houses on both sides. Lu Jin, dressed in a black suit, waited quietly.

Not far from Lu Jin, the Old Celestial Master was also present.

Upon seeing the old Celestial Master, Zhou Fengliu raised an eyebrow slightly, somewhat unsure what kind of performance the two old comrades were putting on tonight.

"Senior Lu, Old Celestial Master...you two are still awake? You're really good at staying up late," Zhou Fengliu greeted them.

"We were waiting for you to come over, otherwise we two old folks would have been resting by now."

Lu Jin flexed his wrists, then told his great-granddaughter Lu Linglong to leave.

"Senior Lu, Elder Celestial Master, what is it that made you two wait for me so late..." Zhou Fengliu was even more puzzled after Lu Linglong left.

"Originally, I was thinking that some younger generation would beat you up for me after you slapped my great-granddaughter, but now I see... I'm afraid I can't rely on young people, so it's up to us old folks. Don't worry too much, it definitely won't affect your match tomorrow. I'll just slap you in the face."

Hearing Lu Jin's words, Zhou Fengliu was a little confused. He looked at the old Celestial Master beside Lu Jin:

"Old Celestial Master...aren't you going to do anything about Senior Lu? Right in front of you...you're going to bully a guy like me who's only in his twenties?"

"Don't be afraid, I know what I'm doing. Just think of it as an old man wanting to see what you're capable of."

Before the old master could speak, Lu Jin took the lead and spoke first.

"Come on...show me the tricks you used in your match against Wang Bing today..."

Hearing Lu Jin say this, Zhou Fengliu realized that it was his method of transforming Qi into a horse during the day that had attracted the attention of the two people in front of him.

"This... is just ordinary transformation of Qi, nothing special. Since Senior Lu wants to see it... then this junior will make it for you seniors to see."

As Zhou Fengliu spoke, he released the Qi from his body, and under his manipulation, a brand new Qi Maiden was born.

Lu Jin observed the birth of Qi Niang up close, then channeled his Qi and punched her hard. The powerful force poured into Qi Niang, causing her abdomen to burst open with a loud "boom".

The wound was deep, but it didn't break Qi Niang's form. In just a few seconds, the wound on Qi Niang's body healed at a speed visible to the naked eye, returning her to her original state.

"..." Lu Jin raised an eyebrow upon seeing this. He pointed at Qi Niang and said to Zhou Fengliu, "Can you turn this thing back into a state of Qi?"

"What... is there to say?" Zhou Fengliu slightly gathered his hands together, and the Qi that was maintaining the form of Qi Niang instantly formed a ball.

"If Senior Lu doesn't like white-stockinged maids, I can make other kinds..."

After Zhou Fengliu finished speaking, he started frantically kneading things in front of Lu Jin and the Old Master. He kneaded a cow one minute, a horse the next, and before anyone could see it, he had created a black-stockinged bunny girl.

"European and American, Asian... dark-skinned, fair-skinned, yellow-skinned..."

Zhou Fengliu used his imagination to give these two centenarians a glimpse into his world within the range of his Qi. While he was having a great time, Lu Jin and the Old Celestial Master remained silent with dark faces.

This young man...

With that kind of skill... you just mess around like this?

Even the old Celestial Master couldn't stand it anymore.

Based on his current observations, Zhou Fengliu's ability to transform Qi into form is something that ordinary people absolutely cannot do.

The usual way of transforming Qi into form is either by attaching it to a weapon or by taking a very simple form, such as a hand, a rope, or a blade.

The simpler it is, the less likely it is to make mistakes, and the more stable it is to maintain its form. As for the firmness of the transformation, it depends more on the quality of the Qi.

As for what Zhou Fengliu possessed... that was simply outrageous.

It can so easily transform into such complex forms, maintain an extremely stable state of form, and even repair transformed objects by maintaining the transformed Qi...

That's terrifying.

This requires not only a very high level of skill, but also a massive amount of Qi to support it.

...

The old master turned to look at Lu Jin and said, "Old Lu, can you stand to watch this?"

"That's interesting..."

"If we keep watching like this, we won't get any sleep tonight either." The old master said he couldn't stand watching Zhou Fengliu mess around like this.

"Alright..."

Lu Jin nodded, then said to Zhou Fengliu, who was not far away, "Now that you've finished watching, I won't stand on ceremony..."

As Lu Jin spoke, she rushed to Zhou Fengliu at an extremely fast speed, and then put all her strength into giving Zhou Fengliu a big punch.

Zhou Fengliu reacted quickly, dodging Lu Jin's attack the instant he sensed Lu Jin's move, and simultaneously said:

"Senior Lu... this is really unethical of you to resort to sneak attacks and bully a young man like me in my early twenties..."
