Tokyo Knights: The Odd Jobs X Files

Mao Lixia's ears tickled, and her pretty face flushed red. She nodded gently, "Okay, I understand, I'll eat it..."

Li Xin nodded in satisfaction, then left the agency for Lai Sheng Rui's tower apartment.

Inside the apartment, when Lai Sheng Lei saw Li Xin arrive, she smiled and said to him, "Xin, would you like something to drink?"

Li Xin took out a pill and handed it to Lai Sheng Lei: "Little Lei, this is for you."

"what is this?"

Lai Sheng Rui held the pill in her hands. Because it was completely wrapped in beeswax, the pill looked like a pale yellow pearl, but the color was somewhat dull and its appearance was not very good.

Having seen many rare and precious treasures, Lai Sheng Lei could naturally tell that this was not a pearl, but he didn't know what it was.

Li Xin didn't keep her in suspense and told Lai Sheng Lei about the effects of the pills, which moved her deeply.

Michael didn't have many years left to live, which was a constant worry for Lai Sheng Lei.

The thought of the three sisters going through so much hardship to finally find Michael Heinz and reunite with their father, only to discover that Michael was nearing the end of his life, must have been incredibly devastating for them.

Although Michael had long since accepted life and death and had no regrets after reuniting with the three sisters, Lai Sheng Lei was still unwilling to be separated from Michael forever and had been trying to find a way to prolong his life.

Michael's aging was natural, and even if Laishenglei were rich, it would ultimately be unable to defy the natural laws of birth, aging, sickness, and death. Even Laishenglei could not extend Michael's life in a way that he could accept.

Now Li Xin has brought elixirs that can prolong life, which is more precious to Lai Sheng Lei than any other treasure.

"Oshin!"

Lai Sheng Lei hugged Li Xin and pushed him directly onto the sofa in the living room.

"Don't speak, don't move, let me do it!"

Lai Sheng Lei's attitude was firm, and Li Xin had no choice but to go along with her.

Ugh, doing this in broad daylight, it's kind of embarrassing...

Even though they've been married for a long time, Li Xin still felt a little embarrassed.

Downstairs at the Laisheng Tears Apartment, Helena was playing the piano. When she finished playing, her maid, Mary Rose, immediately applauded.

"Miss Helena, you played so beautifully!"

Mary Rose smiled radiantly.

She wasn't flattering her; Helena genuinely played the piano very well.

Helena smiled and said, "Thank you for the compliment."

Just as the master and servant were getting along well, a faint noise reached their ears.

There were only two households living in the entire tower apartment building, so it's almost impossible to guess who did this.

Helena's face darkened as well, because her father had done similar things many times, and even worse.

What she really cared about was that Li Xin had said he would be her guide and show her around Tokyo after he came back, but a week had passed since he returned and he hadn't come to see her. That was one thing, but he was having so much fun with Miss Laisheng upstairs. It was simply outrageous and really went too far!

Unable to contain her anger, Helena could only vent her emotions on the piano. A series of rapid and powerful piano notes rang out. Before, she was afraid of disturbing Rui's rest, so she deliberately chose a piece with a soothing rhythm when playing the piano, so that even if Rui heard it, she would not feel uncomfortable. But now, she would not be polite!

Upstairs from Helena, Rui Kisugi chuckled upon hearing the hurried piano music coming from downstairs: "Looks like I've disturbed Miss Helena..."

"Then let's keep our voices down, or go to a room... the soundproofing is better there."

Li Xin also spoke up.

"That's fine. I don't want to move. I'll have a renovation company come and improve the soundproofing of the house another day..."

Li Xin's eyes widened, and he immediately put aside everything else to deal with the situation.

When I left the house of Rei, the sun had already set.

Because they got along so well, Li Xin didn't feel tired at all after their conversation; on the contrary, he was full of energy. However, Lai Sheng Lei was quite exhausted. Even though she had been exercising, she still couldn't keep up. Afterwards, Li Xin took good care of her body and helped her regain her mobility.

After leaving the tower apartment, Li Xin first went to the Fire Cloud Shrine and gave one pill to the old shrine maiden. Then he went to Athena Asamiya's house and gave Chin Gentsai a pill.

Previously, Zhen Yuanzhai was afraid of damaging Li Xin's vital energy and affecting Li Xin's duel, so he refused to let Li Xin help him heal. But taking pills will not affect Li Xin, so Zhen Yuanzhai can't refuse now, right?

"What would I do with this? Ashin, you keep it for yourself!"

Zhen Yuanzhai waved his hands repeatedly. He wasn't really injured, and his internal energy was extremely profound. Giving him Li Xin's pills would be a complete waste.

"Master, this medicine has miraculous effects in healing injuries, please accept it."

Li Xin insisted on giving it to Zhen Yuanzhai.

Zhen Yuanzhai could only say, "My injuries are almost healed. You keep this pill for yourself, Axin. If it's not enough, give it to Xiaoya and Quan Chong. It's better than leaving it to this old bone of mine!"

"It's alright, Master. I've saved one for Xiaoya and Quan Chong, so they won't be short of one."

Li Xin said with a smile.

As the senior brother, he hadn't given his two junior brothers and sisters any decent gifts yet. Now that he had such a good thing, he naturally wanted to save one for Athena Asamiya and Kensou Shii as well.

"Oh, you child..."

Zhen Yuanzhai sighed, but he was still very gratified. He had no children... well, having children was like not having children at all, so he treated his disciple like a child. Li Xin was so filial, so he was naturally happy.

"Alright then, I'll accept the pills."

Although Zhen Yuanzhai accepted the pills, he did not take them.

Even setting aside its effects of prolonging life and enhancing internal strength, the healing properties of this elixir alone, which can "restore flesh and bone and revive the dead," make it extremely precious. Zhen Yuanzhai, who was not seriously injured, was reluctant to consume it and naturally saved it for the children, in case something unexpected happened to them in the future.

After accepting the pills, Chin Gentsai invited Li Xin to stay for dinner. Athena Asamiya and Kensou Shii were naturally very grateful for the pills Li Xin had given them.

However, Li Xin gave them the pills, but also advised them not to take them now, but to wait until their foundation was solid before taking them.

When Chui Quan Chong asked what it meant to have a solid foundation, Li Xin replied, "At least to become a top-tier extraordinary person."

Immediately, Kensou fell silent, realizing he might not live to see the pill.

After leaving Athena Asamiya's house, Li Xin suddenly felt as if he had forgotten something. He thought about it carefully, but he couldn't remember it no matter what he did.

Well, whatever, things that can be forgotten probably aren't important!

Thinking this, Li Xin returned to the agency. Hmm, he still needed to check whether Mao Lixia had taken the pills properly. He had to check thoroughly!

Meanwhile, on Mount Fuji, Xiang Ying, holding his Thunder Blade, waited for Li Xin's arrival in the wind and snow.

The wind and snow had no effect on Xiang Ying, an extraordinary expert, but Li Xin's delayed arrival still made Xiang Ying quite anxious.

Why isn't that guy here yet?!

Xiang Ying said angrily.

Chapter 753 The Holy Land of the Duel

The next day, when Xiang Ying stormed into the firm looking for Li Xin, Li Xin finally remembered what he had forgotten about the day before.

Feeling bad for standing Xiang Ying up all night, Li Xin apologized repeatedly, "I'm so sorry, I forgot!"

Xiang Ying glared angrily at Li Xin.

This guy still smells of a woman on him. It's obvious he wasted time on a woman. How can a martial artist waste his time and energy on a woman? Let's teach Li Xin a lesson and correct him!

"Let's go, let's go to 'Hayabusa no Sato' right now!"

Xiang Ying told Li Xin.

(Ryu Hayabusa: Stop coming to my house to fight, get out!)

Li Xin immediately took "Greedy Wolf" and "Heavenly Blade" and went with Xiang Ying to "Falcon Village". As soon as the two arrived at "Falcon Village", they found that there was already a guest there.

"you……"

Li Xin looked at Wu Ji and felt that Wu Ji's aura had merged with the surrounding world. He was shocked and exclaimed, "You have entered the 'Clarity' realm!"

Wu Ji nodded lightly: "That's right. After we parted, I went back to the Great Rakshasa Sect to go into seclusion. I didn't come out until I reached the 'Clarity' realm. I didn't see you at 'One River Separates Heaven', so I guessed that you had also broken through and came here to wait for you. I thought you would definitely come here."

Li Xin couldn't help but sigh, "I thought I could stay ahead of you for a while, but I didn't expect you to enter the 'Clarity' realm so quickly!"

He went to great lengths and suffered a lot to reach the "Enlightenment" realm, even having to dissipate his cultivation and start over. In the end, Wu Ji went back and entered the "Enlightenment" realm after a period of seclusion. It really is true that comparisons are odious!

Xiang Ying looked at Wu Ji and suddenly asked a strange question: "How much time do you have left?"

"About half a month."

Wu Ji replied.

"There are only two weeks left..."

Xiang Ying looked at Wu Ji: "Unfortunately, I haven't been able to defeat you yet..."

"You could never beat me."

Wu Ji snorted coldly, and Xiang Ying raised an eyebrow, but said nothing.

Forget it, I won't argue with him.

Li Xin felt that the two of them were acting strangely, as if they were playing a game of riddles.

However, Li Xin was too lazy to argue. He said to Wu Ji, "Wu Ji, it's good that you've entered the 'Clarity' realm. Come on, let's spar!"

Li Xin originally thought that Wu Ji would happily agree, after all, this man was a martial arts fanatic and a battle maniac. Unexpectedly, Wu Ji shook his head and refused Li Xin this time.

He said, "Have you forgotten? The date for our duel is fast approaching."

Li Xin then remembered that he had previously agreed to a duel with Wu Ji on the seventh day of the sixth lunar month, the seventh day of the sixth lunar month...

Ah, judging by the dates, it'll be about seven days from now!

Wu Ji said to Li Xin, "You have to duel with Shi Xi Huang Wo Zhi Zhu in three days, and then you have to duel with me in seven days. Are you sure you can handle it? Or, I might as well just go and kill that old man, and you can focus on preparing for your duel with me in seven days."

"Need not."

Li Xin shook his head: "I've prepared for this duel for so long, how can I just let it go like this! Besides, I also need to use this duel to prove my strength. Hmm... just think of this as a warm-up before our duel!"

Although he had not yet witnessed Wu Ji's strength, he had a feeling that Wu Ji was terrifyingly powerful now, and he definitely needed a battle of sufficient magnitude to warm up for his duel with Wu Ji.

"Warm-up? Using a battle against a peak-level extraordinary expert to warm up the atmosphere?"

Hearing Li Xin's words, Wu Ji couldn't help but laugh. He said, "Good, good, good, Ah Xin, I didn't misjudge you. You are indeed worthy of being my opponent in the final battle!"

Wu Ji's words puzzled Li Xin: "Final battle? What? You've had enough fun and are ready to retire, go home and inherit your vast fortune, and live the life of a local tyrant with your hundreds of concubines?"

Li Xin knew that Wu Ji was the leader of the Great Rakshasa Sect, the only religious sect in Central Asia. Among the Central Asian countries, his status was higher than that of a head of state. He was a true local emperor and kept hundreds of concubines. He was simply... ugh, vulgar!

Wu Ji smiled but didn't say anything.

Xiang Ying opened her mouth to speak, but Wu Ji stopped her with a look.

Since Wu Ji didn't want to spar with Li Xin, Li Xin couldn't force Wu Ji to fight, so he could only continue with the previous plan and spar with Xiang Ying.

Xiang Ying drew his Thunder Blade, purple arcs of electricity crackling around it. He said, "Although I haven't reached that so-called 'Clarity' realm yet, don't think I'm easy to deal with!"

He is a descendant of the Overlord, and is born with terrifying combat intuition. Even if his cultivation level is not as high as Li Xin's, with this god-like talent, if Li Xin underestimates Xiang Ying, he will suffer a great loss.

"Don't worry, I wouldn't dare to be careless with you, no matter who I am. By the way, you don't mind if I use dual weapons, do you?"

Li Xin held the "Greedy Wolf" sword in his left hand and the "Heavenly Blade" sword tightly in his right, the swords crossed as he faced Xiang Ying.

When Wu Ji saw Li Xin holding a sword, his eyes lit up immediately: "You've mastered the divine skills of swordsmanship?"

Li Xin nodded slightly: "I guess so. By comprehending the intent of the moves, I integrated that understanding with my own martial arts skills and learned the skill of combining two sword and saber techniques."

"I have martial arts notes here about three divine skills. Would you like me to take a look? Perhaps you can improve your two divine skills, or even comprehend the third divine skill!"

Wu Ji said urgently.

He had thoroughly studied the notes of his ancestors and knew that the martial arts used by the peerless enemy who fought against the sect leader of the Great Rakshasa Sect 1,500 years ago were the "Three Swords, Three Divine Skills". He had always wanted to experience the so-called "perfect" divine skill.

However, the three divine skills have long been lost. He can only glimpse a fragment of the divine skills through the remaining intent of the "One Water Separates Heaven" move and the notes left by his ancestors. If he could truly experience the divine skills, then his life would not have been in vain.

Li Xin couldn't help but laugh and said, "Martial Master, when others duel, they always try to weaken their enemies. Why is it that when you're fighting, you're desperately trying to strengthen me?"

Wu Ji snorted: "Hmph, I'm just afraid you're not strong enough and will ruin the duel I've been looking forward to!"

Li Xin put away his smile and said seriously, "Wuji, if that notebook really helps my martial arts, I will definitely not be polite. But right now, what I need is to improve my own martial arts, not to blindly learn other people's martial arts. So let's forget about the martial arts notebook you mentioned."

Strictly speaking, the sword and saber techniques that Li Xin now knows are not the same as those of the peerless expert who fought against the sect leader of the Great Rakshasa Sect. Instead, they are new techniques created based on "Three Clouds and Ten Swords" and "Wind God's Wrath." However, since the two techniques share the same intent, they can be considered the same technique.

Li Xin's two divine skills may not be as perfect as his original sword and saber techniques, but they are Li Xin's own creations.

If Li Xin were to learn the original sword and saber techniques and repeat the path others have taken, it would actually cause him to lose the opportunity to advance on his own path.

Seeing that Li Xin's words made sense, Wu Ji gave up and said to Li Xin, "Alright, then let me see just how powerful your divine skill really is!"

"Don't worry, it will definitely surprise you!"
