Black Silk Female Police Detective Exorcist

The barbecue, prepared by several extraordinary individuals using their unique skills, was completed in no time.

With Qin Huanyu's cooking skills, which are precise to the milligram for seasoning and to the second for controlling the heat, everything from whole roasted lamb and roasted chicken to sliced ​​pork belly is incredibly delicious, and everyone eats with gusto.

Bai Ling's chilled freshly squeezed juice is sweet, refreshing, and helps cut through the richness of the meat. Drinking a glass of it after eating large chunks of meat is simply delightful.

However, Bai Ling also showed another side during the meal, which greatly surprised Qin Huanyu.

Bai Ling has a huge appetite.

Leaving aside the roasted pork belly slices, roasted chicken, and some roasted vegetables, the three of them couldn't even finish one leg of the whole roasted lamb, while Bai Ling ate the rest.

The rest of the food was the same. This barbecue, which Qin Huanyu had originally calculated would be enough for at least a dozen people to eat their fill, was mostly devoured by Bai Ling by herself.

This is definitely not the amount of food a normal human should eat.

"That's good, that's good."

Qin Huanyu barely suppressed her curiosity, assuming it was Bai Ling's special ability, but Cheng Hai ultimately couldn't resist and looked at Bai Ling with a very serious expression:

"If I am not mistaken, this female bodhisattva should not be human, but rather a white snake that has achieved great cultivation in human form?"

"Oh? Brother monk, you noticed? No wonder you're such a highly accomplished monk with profound Buddhist knowledge!"

Bai Ling, however, was not nervous at all, and smiled and nodded generously:

"That's right, Ling'er, I am the snake demon that people often talk about. I have 190 years of cultivation."

Seeing Qin Huanyu so surprised that she forgot to chew the meat in her mouth, Cheng Hai's expression became even more serious. Bai Ling, on the other hand, tilted her head in surprise and glanced at Zero again:

"Huh? Didn't Sister Zero tell you? Our clan established a close cooperative relationship with humans back in the photo studio era. I myself have also gone through various tests."

"That's right... You really didn't know these things?"

Zero was somewhat surprised by the questioning looks from Qin Huanyu and Cheng Hai, but he quickly explained the whole story to them.

In short, while most demons are hostile to humans and hide in the deep mountains, a small number have chosen to cooperate with them. They send their elite members to work in human society, and humans in return designate their habitats as nature reserves, allowing them to live and reproduce in peace. It's a mutually beneficial cooperation.

The White Snake clan to which Bai Ling belongs is an example of this; Bai Ling actually left her clan and entered human society more than 10 years ago.

She first studied human language, history, culture, science, and customs with a teacher for more than 10 years. Then, as an ordinary person, she lived peacefully in human society for almost 3 years without using any magic, during which time she was constantly being observed by people from the Bureau of Investigation.

It was only because the Bureau of Investigation confirmed that Bai Ling was as trustworthy as the previous white snakes who had entered human society to work that they officially recruited her as a member of the 11th Squad.

Qin Huanyu quickly accepted this explanation. She had no racism to begin with, and besides, Bai Ling was quite pretty and naturally attracted the attention of those who valued appearance.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk."

Qin Huanyu simply clicked her tongue and jokingly rolled her eyes at Bai Ling:

"Over 190 years of cultivation... Doesn't that mean you're almost 200 years old, Ling'er? How can you call us 'brother' and 'sister' without batting an eye? You're such a good actor!"

"Because Sister Qin, you're taller and older than others, right?"

Bai Ling quickly ran to Qin Huanyu's side with small, quick steps, and hugged Qin Huanyu's arm, nuzzling against her in a sweet, coquettish voice:

"Sister Qin~~"

"Good, good, good, little Ling'er is so cute!"

Qin Huanyu had no more objections and started playing around with Bai Ling again.

"Amitabha, good, good, good."

Seeing this, Cheng Hai could only sigh softly and withdraw his imposing aura:

"Since it's the Bureau of Investigation's arrangement, then this humble monk will comply."

Chapter 51 Discussion

After the little incident, it was time for post-meal exercise.

"This humble monk would like to exchange martial arts techniques with the female bodhisattva."

Cheng Hai directly proposed a sparring match to Qin Huanyu, and Qin Huanyu readily agreed.

Zero, their team leader, didn't say anything either, and even welcomed it – she had experienced these things herself, and sparring was one of the fastest ways for teammates to get to know each other.

Qin Huanyu and Cheng Hai stood facing each other in the courtyard, about 5 meters apart.

"Female Bodhisattva, please."

Cheng Hai, being a gentleman, gestured for Qin Huanyu to make the first move.

Qin Huanyu didn't stand on ceremony. She had already eaten the white cat milk candy before the sparring began. Now, she squinted her eyes slightly, carefully observing Cheng Hai's physical data, looking for weaknesses to exploit.

I was somewhat surprised, but it was also within my expectations.

Cheng Hai truly lives up to his reputation as the leading martial monk of Shilin Temple in this era; his physical abilities are frighteningly strong.

His proportions under the gray monk's robe were perfect; his whole body was muscle, and the physical properties of each muscle were almost like metal.

Judging from the data, Chenghai truly has achieved the strength and resilience of a company.

'We can't beat them!'

After Qin Huanyu's brain rapidly calculated hundreds of possibilities, she arrived at the same answer.

Unless Cheng Hai uses the Dragon-Slaying Mace or other weapons, Qin Huanyu cannot break through his defenses even if he only defends and does not fight back... The only chance of winning is to seduce him with her beauty and make him break through her defenses because he is moved by her beauty.

Of course, Qin Huanyu couldn't use that method, so she spoke directly:

"Can I choose a suitable weapon? Otherwise, I have no choice but to admit defeat."

"please."

Cheng Hai was quite confident, indicating to Qin Huanyu that she could choose whatever she wanted, even if she brought out the Dragon-Slaying Mace or a firearm.

Qin Huanyu wasn't that malicious. It's hard to say about firearms, but the resonant strike of the Kanglong Mace could definitely shatter Cheng Hai. It's just that there's really no need for teammates to spar.

Moreover, if the weapon chosen is too powerful, it would indicate that Qin Huanyu herself is too weak, and even with Qin Huanyu's pride, she would not be able to bear it.

So Qin Huanyu glanced around the scene, took only two metal skewers they had used when they ate barbecue, and returned to her original position.

Take a deep breath.

"I'm on it!"

After loudly reminding Cheng Hai, Qin Huanyu launched a charge, seemingly recklessly thrusting a metal skewer at Cheng Hai from the front.

Cheng Hai frowned, instinctively trying to discern Qin Huanyu's plan by sensing the intent and spirit of her martial arts moves, but he sensed nothing. Qin Huanyu's movements were purely physical, devoid of any of the chaotic martial arts aura or profound understanding.

Left with no other option, Cheng Hai could only unleash a powerful punch to meet Qin Huanyu's attack head-on.

Qin Huanyu certainly couldn't fight Cheng Hai head-on. Cheng Hai's choice to throw a punch was the most likely of the four possibilities Qin Huanyu had calculated.

Therefore, Qin Huanyu was prepared. Her frontal charge was just a feint. She nimbly dodged Cheng Hai's fist, and the metal stick in her hand, like the stinger of a scorpion, pierced out accurately and quickly, hitting Cheng Hai's arm.

Cheng Hai's brows immediately furrowed, he gritted his teeth, and beads of sweat quickly appeared on his shiny bald head.

As a martial monk of Shilin Temple who has trained rigorously since childhood, Cheng Hai wouldn't even flinch if he were to catch a power drill with his arm, let alone just a metal barbecue skewer.

However, Qin Huanyu's attack not only seized the moment when Cheng Hai's muscles were weakest, but also precisely pierced the weak points of his muscles and tendons, making it even more powerful than the most skillful acupressure technique.

The barbecue skewer not only pierced Cheng Hai's skin, drawing blood, but also made his entire arm go numb, leaving him unable to muster strength and moving slowly for at least a few seconds.

"Flowery Monk, you've lost!"

Seeing that her attack had worked as she had predicted, Qin Huanyu did not hesitate and launched a fierce barrage of attacks with a loud laugh.

She unleashed her maximum speed in one breath, spinning around Cheng Hai and using two metal barbecue skewers to stab at the multiple weak points on Cheng Hai's body that she had already targeted.

Puff puff puff!

One wrong move and the whole game is lost.

With one arm still numb, Cheng Hai was no match for Qin Huanyu's outburst. He was hit multiple times, and his body was both painful and numb. Soon, he even had difficulty standing up, and his shiny bald head was covered in sweat.

"...Is this the power of the [Mathematical Eye]? I am impressed."

Cheng Hai endured the pain and numbness throughout his body and took a deep breath:

"But this humble monk hasn't lost yet... Female Bodhisattva, be careful, this humble monk is about to unleash his ultimate move!"

"Hum!"

Cheng Hai suddenly roared, his aura surging, and his monk's robes billowed like balloons.

In Qin Huanyu's eyes, Cheng Hai's roar was a sound wave that transformed into kinetic energy, sweeping outwards like a shockwave from an explosion, which flesh and blood could not withstand at all.

Faced with such an all-encompassing area attack, Qin Huanyu's agility was useless, and the burst of energy just now had also consumed a lot of her strength, making it impossible for her to escape the range of the shockwave.

She could only adjust her posture slightly, and like a sports car blown away by a bomb, she tumbled through the air and flew out, landing more than 10 meters away.

Fortunately, she had adjusted her posture in advance, so Qin Huanyu didn't land in a mess. She just took a few steps like a gymnast who had made a mistake and regained her balance.

"Wow, impressive, Flower Monk."

After recovering, Qin Huanyu held two barbecue skewers, striking a dual-wielding pose:

"Is this also within the scope of martial arts?"

"of course."

Cheng Hai, who was covered in injuries and barely managed to unleash his ultimate move, was clearly in a worse state. He first indicated that he had lost the first round and asked Bai Ling to heal him, before explaining with a wry smile:

"This is the Vajra Subduing Demon Roar, a supreme Buddhist martial art. I originally didn't intend to use it in our sparring."

Cheng Hai didn't say what came next, but everyone else understood.

Without this move, Cheng Hai's only outcome would have been to be instantly defeated by Qin Huanyu's fluid combo, resulting in a humiliating defeat.

Even if they still lose after using it, at least they can force Qin Huanyu to back down, which can be considered as saving some face for the high monk of Shilin Temple.

The exchange of skills is certainly not over yet; in fact, it has only just begun.

After Bai Ling healed all the wounds Cheng Hai had sustained from the barbecue skewers, he and Qin Huanyu quickly began their second round of sparring.

This time, Cheng Hai learned his lesson. No matter how Qin Huanyu tried to provoke him by creating openings, he never used any large-scale attacks. Instead, he played the turtle-style defense.

Although Qin Huanyu could still pinpoint Cheng Hai's weaknesses, the strength of the metal barbecue skewers was ultimately limited.

As long as Cheng Hai focuses on defense, even if Qin Huanyu can hit Cheng Hai's weak point, it will be difficult to inflict a large stun like before, and then follow up with a combo to finish him off.

The sparring quickly devolved into a period of stalemate, turning into a contest of physical strength and patience.

Chapter 52 Configuring a Well-Organized Team

Cheng Hai has been practicing Buddhism since childhood, possesses profound Buddhist knowledge, and is also blessed with the internal energy of classical martial arts. His stamina bar is frighteningly long, and he can recover quickly once he leaves the battle. Even during battle, he has a very slow recovery rate.

Qin Huanyu doesn't know internal energy cultivation, but she does undergo the most scientific physical training. Her Mathematical Magic Eye allows her to precisely calculate and control every movement of her body, achieving maximum effect with minimal energy consumption.

Of course, in the end, Qin Huanyu's stamina would definitely not be as good as Cheng Hai's, who had internal strength and the advantage of gender, but she could still fight all night with a low-cost fighting style.

But that would be too boring and would lose the meaning of the competition, and it would be torture for Zero and Bai Ling who were watching.

So after fighting for about half an hour, Qin Huanyu and Cheng Hai stopped fighting together after they had a general understanding of each other's close combat abilities.

They plan to try a different approach to the comparison.

Bai Ling herself has a need for cultivation, and since the large villa she lives in is in the suburbs, she naturally has no shortage of cultivation tools at home. For example, the most common attack targets—those large rocks with a diameter of one or two meters—are numerous in Bai Ling's basement.

In their third round of competition, Qin Huanyu and Cheng Hai didn't spar anymore. Instead, they displayed their maximum attack power against the stone together, and Bai Ling even joined in.

For teammates you can trust, it's important to let them know your abilities so they won't make mistakes at crucial moments, causing unnecessary casualties or even total annihilation.

The behavior of protagonists in many novels and other works who hide their abilities from their teammates in an attempt to outmaneuver others is actually a bit foolish and can easily lead to them losing friends.

Qin Huanyu then unleashed her strongest attack.

After observing the frequency and weak points of a large rock with her mathematical magic eye, she took out the Dragon-Slaying Mace and gently flicked it with her hand, delivering a resonant strike amidst a buzzing sound. Within seconds, the large rock was reduced to pieces the size of peanuts.

"Wow, Sister Qin is amazing!"

Bai Ling immediately burst into laughter in her professional anchor's voice, showering Qin Huanyu with compliments.

"Such destructive power."

Cheng Hai also picked up a handful of broken stones, rubbed them together, and muttered:

"I'm afraid even my indestructible body couldn't withstand such a powerful attack."

After breaking the stone, Qin Huanyu indicated that her demonstration was over, and that without the assistance of other high-tech equipment, her current personal combat strength was at its limit.

So Chenghai made his move.

He demonstrated a wider variety of techniques, using several Buddhist secrets in one go.
