25: Seeing Han Lie in the massage shop, Cui Dazhi's mentality collapsed
That night,
Han Lie experienced an essential oil back massage, which was incredibly comfortable. At the same time, his Qi and blood circulated rapidly throughout his body.
"Query Panel!"
[Host: Han Lie
Qi and Blood: 151
Entry: Congenital Medicine Saint Body 2.0 (43/100)
Qi and Blood Quality Level: SSS+
Others: Omitted]
His Qi and blood continued to grow steadily.
Lying there resting,
The Ning Yu next to him was breathing softly. The massage just now had really tired her out. Unlike other customers, Han Lie's body muscles were terrifyingly tight, making it quite strenuous to massage him.
How could she not understand that the young man in front of her had quite astonishing martial arts strength? And she didn't know if it was her imagination.
She felt like he was getting stronger every day!
"Too amazing!!"
This was Ning Yu's most genuine thought. Every day, he was either eating snacks or taking a bath and getting a massage, yet he could still get stronger. How powerful must he be!
"Uh, Ningning!"
Han Lie suddenly spoke.
Interrupting the woman's thoughts next to him, the latter immediately responded softly under the dim light.
"I'm here!"
"Okay, I have something to discuss with you!"
Han Lie thought for a moment and said truthfully, "As you know, I'm a student and need to attend classes every day. Plus, the Martial Exam is coming up soon, so time is tight..."
"!!!"
Ning Yu immediately became nervous upon hearing this. Could it be... he won't come anymore? Thinking of this, she instantly became a little dejected under the dim light.
"Every day I take time to come here, and sometimes I even have to wait for you for a while, which is really a waste of time!" Han Lie said.
"I..."
Ning Yu's mouth slightly opened. What could she do? She did want to serve Han Lie immediately, but she was just a humble worker.
"So, can you see if you can make some time every day, preferably outside of class time? Uh, actually, during class time isn't impossible either, I still have some authority at school!"
Han Lie continued, "What I mean is, can you give me massages privately? Set a time, like coming every day!"
"...Huh?"
Ning Yu's small mouth slightly opened. She understood what Han Lie meant. He wanted to ask her out, and then...
"No... I can't..."
"We have rules here...."
"I can pay extra!" Han Lie said.
"...This, is not good!"
Ning Yu was quite conflicted. If she refused, she was afraid of losing such a good customer like Han Lie. If she didn't refuse, she was afraid of losing something better.
Although she knew,
Only by losing can one gain.
But currently, she wasn't psychologically prepared.
"........"
Han Lie could tell with a glance that she was overthinking. Well, it made sense. A seventeen or eighteen-year-old young man, especially one who practices martial arts, what else would he think about every day besides that? His thing was as hard as iron.
The other party still judged him by his appearance.
"What are you thinking about?"
Han Lie smiled, "I just need to relax because practicing martial arts every day is too tiring. Don't worry, I won't do anything to you. If you're really unwilling, I can find someone else!"
".......",
The phrase "find someone else" immediately made Ning Yu panic, and she blurted out.
"No.. no..."
"Then are you willing or not?"
"I... I'm willing!"
Finally, the two of them discussed and set a time.
Han Lie lay down in this room for a while longer. He didn't know when he would come next time, enjoying drinking tea and playing on his phone.
..............
Cui Dazhi: "Brother, what are you doing?"
Han Lie picked up his phone and saw this message, knowing that Cui Dazhi was itching with boredom right now. Because he wasn't in the sparring competition with the neighboring Fifth High School, this kid had been restless for the past two days.
Thinking about it, Han Lie replied truthfully:
"Standing Stake!"
"Holy crap!!! Shocked.jpg"
Cui Dazhi replied instantly, "Brother, it's 8 PM, and you're still Standing Stake? Has the Han Lie I know, who was hardworking but not very talented, returned? Come back, my proudest belief!!"
".........Boring!"
Han Lie couldn't be bothered to respond, "Didn't I undergo Secondary Bone Tempering? Striking while the iron is hot!"
The message was sent,
Immediately greeted by a huge—
? (****)
"You underwent Secondary Bone Tempering?"
"What kind of joke are you playing...!!!"
Although Cui Dazhi didn't know what kind of stimulation he had received recently and had completely become a bootlicker in the field of Han Lie's talent, it was clear from the text that he still didn't want to believe this.
"Holy cow!!"
"Han Lie, say something!!"
"You underwent Secondary Bone Tempering?"
"Yep." Han Lie replied simply.
"Ah?!!"
Cui Dazhi on the other end seemed to have his mindset collapse. "No, you just underwent Secondary Bone Tempering? Didn't you say a couple of days ago that you had no way to break through? And now you've already undergone Secondary Bone Tempering? I!!!"
"I, I Cui Dazhi!!"
"It took me a full year and a half to go from Primary Bone Tempering to Secondary Bone Tempering. You... you f*cking took only seven days, ahhhhhhhh!!"
"I can't accept this!!"
".......Uh!"
Han Lie thought for a moment, indeed not knowing how to comfort him, so he just said something randomly:
"Didn't you mention the Man Zi Clan before? Perhaps you can think of me as someone like them!"
"!!!" Cui Dazhi replied: "So your Qi and blood can automatically upgrade and cultivate?"
"Not yet!"
Han Lie was an honest child, "However, I can automatically Standing Stake!"
"???"
Cui Dazhi was a string of question marks. "Automatic Standing Stake, what are you even talking about... Forget it, forget it, I won't dwell on it... lest I keep dwelling and end up hurting myself!"
"Hahahaha!"
Hearing this, Han Lie laughed.
Who says you don't learn from your mistakes?
"Alright, alright..."
Cui Dazhi on the other side was silent for a moment, finally learning to comfort himself. "At least you're still Standing Stake and working hard at this hour, instead of just stuffing some damn snacks into your mouth during class and making progress. You can still be considered... sigh... a hardworking genius, I guess......."
Han Lie is very hardworking,
Was already Cui Dazhi's last stubbornness.
"Yes!"
Han Lie deeply agreed. Persisting in coming for foot baths and massages every day, wasn't that a form of self-discipline? Eating snacks every day, wasn't that a form of effort?
Where is there any talent,
It's all the result of effort and sweat.
Thinking about it,
Han Lie comforted the other party and also deceived himself.
"Brother!"
"So-called geniuses are still people who work desperately hard based on their talent. You and I are both like this!!"
"Yes! Fist pump.jpg"
Cui Dazhi sent back an emoji, looking full of passion and enthusiasm. "You're absolutely right, you've made me want to go to the Martial Hall and Standing Stake!"
"Go tomorrow!"
"It's too late today!"
Han Lie checked the time, it was already 8 PM, and quickly advised his brother.
"....Alright!"
Cui Dazhi replied with an understanding.
.........
Night fell,
Han Lie checked the time, it was already 10:30. He had never gone home this late before. Walking out the door, Ning Yu saw him off from behind.
The two of them bickered a bit at the door. In reality, it was a scene Ning Yu requested. She didn't want the shop owner to suspect her of taking private jobs.
"Are you really not coming anymore?" she asked.
"Yep, I have school!"
".....Are you really not coming anymore?" she asked again.
"...Later."
"Wuwuwu..." she started crying.
"............"
Han Lie could only step forward and hug her. He had to play the part fully. It looked like an emotional display, but in reality, his eyes were terrifyingly clear.
He could clearly see the bright lights of the Martial Hall across the street, and he could also clearly see...
"No...!!"
Under those bright lights, a broken person was actually standing there. If it wasn't Cui Dazhi, who could it be?
..............
My name is Cui Dazhi,
I thought he was really Standing Stake,
Actually I was Standing Stake,
He was at the bathhouse.
