Is Chen Xi at Your Place?!

Chen Xi has become stronger.

Thankfully, her hair remained as thick as ever... I really don't know how those young men and women who have been brutally beaten down by reality and are now going bald are going to get through the miserable years ahead! Okay,

Boss Li, as usual, drifted off into thought.

With Li Yao's current level of cultivation, he could sense a strange spiritual power within Chen Xi's sword energy.

That spiritual power was as tough as steel, woven into the sword energy composed of spiritual energy, greatly amplifying the accuracy, power and controllability of the sword energy!

This is the result of Chen Xi's more than three months of training away from home! It is also the sword intent that Old Man Lu has always emphasized.

What's most remarkable is that even after Chen Xi broke through and incorporated sword intent into his sword energy, his way of dealing with people remained unchanged.

She hid that sword within the sheath of her heart! Many swordsmen have tried various methods to forge sword intent. Some of them experience events based on their own personality, allowing the people and events they encounter to reflect back on themselves, promoting the unity of their personality, spirit, and will, purifying their true selves, and highlighting their true nature!

Ultimately, the sword intent enters the Qi! This is considered to be a high level of comprehension... There are also some people who can't even figure out their own personality and temperament, so they can only go through one thing after another to determine their own temperament.

In this process, while external events may influence their will and cause them to change, their original personality will also be affected!

To outsiders, after a period of time, a familiar person seems to have suddenly become a completely different person, and they feel very unfamiliar!

Thankfully, Chen Xi didn't do that! Jiang Zhiying, having recovered from Chen Xi's sword strike, excitedly approached Chen Xi and asked, "Are you also Soul Ferryman? Or are you Mr. Li's subordinate?"

From her observation, Mr. Li was the highest-ranking person in the tavern!

Chen Xi was stunned when Jiang Zhiying asked him that question.

Soul Ferryman? What's that? Chen Xi was a little confused. She looked at Li Yao for help—how should we start conning him?

Li Yao snapped out of his reverie and calmly replied, "That's right, she's also Soul Ferryman."

Jiang Zhiying asked dreamily, "Then can I also be Soul Ferryman?"

Li Yao returned to his seat and sat down. "That won't do, our staff is full, don't you think, Chen Xi?"

Chen Xi nodded quickly!

Uh-huh!

That's right!

The tavern is fully staffed and doesn't need to hire anyone!

There's no need to hire a beautiful woman with a great figure and a charming demeanor!

"I see..."

Jiang Zhiying couldn't hide her disappointment; the delicate charm emanating from her body was simply a divine skill for attracting men!

Fortunately, Boss Li was a tough guy with an extremely strong immunity to such divine skills. He calmly said, "Although I don't hire you here, I can still point you in the right direction. Go to the Bagua Continent in the provincial capital and find Mr. Fu Qinghua. Just say that Li Yao recommended you to go there."

Jiang Zhiying immediately bowed gracefully. "Thank you so much."

From her own younger sister to her own family affairs.

And now...

Mr. Li really helped me a lot.

Jiang Zhiying's beautiful eyes welled up with tears. She looked at Li Yao and said with emotion, "Thank you so much for your help all this time. I don't know how to thank you enough..."

Before Li Yao could reply,

Chen Xi stepped forward and said, "We're closing up shop."

Jiang Zhiying: "..."

She paused for a moment, then stood up and said goodbye to Li Yao and Chen Xi: "Then I'll head back first. Oh, by the way, my Beauty Sanatorium is on this street. Remember to come often, little sister~ It's free."

Chen Xi laughed, "No need, I'm super rich!"

Jiang Zhiying: "???"

She sensed a different atmosphere! So without saying anything more, she lifted her skirt and left the Lost Tavern.

Chen Xi finally breathed a sigh of relief after Jiang Zhiying left! Wow, that woman was so difficult to deal with!

She's practically a man-killer, a goddess to both men and women! The femininity emanating from her tall, shapely figure almost overflows from her eyes and lips! Chen Xi, though she thinks she's very beautiful and has a super-assistive figure,

But compared to that kind of womanly charm, she still felt a bit too naive...

What truly captivates men isn't cuteness, naivety, or youthful energy; those are merely fleeting novelty. It's the innate, overflowing femininity, the alluring yet elusive charm—that's the most irresistible! Li Yao was a little confused by Chen Xi's reaction. She seemed genuinely afraid of Jiang Zhiying? No, wait, it should be called apprehension? Wow, why would a fourth-tier swordsmanship expert be afraid of a newly awakened innate superhuman? Never mind...

Don't dwell on things you can't understand.

Anyway, it's not anything important.

He stood up and tidied up the plates, bowls, and chopsticks on the table, taking them to the kitchen. Chen Xi obediently followed behind and continued to busy herself.

They stood together by the kitchen sink, busy with their tasks.

The warm yellow light shone on them, illuminating a small patch of space that appeared very tranquil.

When you're done,

Li Yao lay down on the sofa in front of the fireplace for the first time in a long time—ha!

After finishing the housework, lying down like this feels like ascending to heaven!

"Pfft, I'm impressed!" Chen Xi then returned to the bar and continued working.

Although the bar is wiped and cleaned by the staff every day, Chen Xi always felt that it wasn't clean enough and that she had to clean it herself to feel satisfied.

That's right.

This is her true specialty! The lights in the tavern weren't very bright, and the faint sounds of the street outside made the tavern even quieter.

Chen Xi was wiping down the bar counter, the clean cloth making a dry, rustling sound as it rubbed against the glasses. Li Yao, meanwhile, had somehow pulled out a handwritten Magic Book and was studying it—Time Flows Slowly Here, Like Water.

After Li Yao felt somewhat mentally exhausted from deciphering magical knowledge, he put away the book and went upstairs.

As he walked, he called out to Chen Xi behind the bar, "I'm going up now, goodnight."

Chen Xi tilted her head back and said, "Mmm!"

boss,

Good night~...

The next day, early morning.

Li Yao awoke from his meditation—he hadn't felt it while meditating, but upon waking, he felt the oppressive heat surrounding him like a monster! Although he was no longer afraid of the heat or cold, this feeling of being enveloped by the sweltering heat was still unpleasant.

Li Yao doesn't really like turning on the air conditioner.

On the one hand, the air blown out by the air conditioner is very dry and cold, and even a humidifier cannot change its nature.

After thinking for a moment, Li Yao took out four mineral water bottles and placed them in the four corners of the room. Then, he launched four Freezing Ray into the bottles! The frost elemental energy instantly froze the water inside, and wisps of cold air spread from the four corners. Soon, Boss Li's living room was filled with a refreshing coolness! Ha! Boss Li was very pleased with himself! Laozi was practically a genius artist in using magic! He planned to take a picture of this scene and send it to his best friend. He didn't want to always brag, as it made him seem narcissistic! He needed his best friend to praise him too! Just as Li Yao took out his phone and before he could even open his QQ Account, he received a call from Old Man Lu ...

That old bastard's tone was really aggressive! — "Is Chen Xi with you?!"

First update, and this makes sense! Hahaha~ My head's a bit heavy, so there might be some typos... I just hope you all enjoy reading it~~
