The three of them instantly turned their gazes toward the door. Someone had come to the bar in the morning?
Virgo and Leo looked at Wang Hao. Unless they had come for the same reason as him.
"I'll go, I'll go!" Leo sprang excitedly to her feet and ran toward the door.
A barely noticeable flicker passed through Wang Hao's eyes. White Court must have sent more people over.
"Hi, hi~ What can I do for you two?" Leo skipped over and opened the door.
After exchanging a glance, the man and woman slowly said, "Stars Emerge from the Sky Curtain, Black Palace Eternal."
Leo's eyes lit up as she warmly said, "Welcome, welcome~ Come in, come in!"
Finally, there were newcomers again!
Leo had never been one to enjoy loneliness, so she was especially fired up whenever someone joined.
She led the two of them to a table and sat across from them.
This meant it was time for the assessment. Last time, Virgo had assessed Wang Hao.
This time, since Leo happened to be here, they let her handle it.
"Introduce yourselves first. Then I'll need to assess the strength of you two," Leo said with a cheerful smile.
The woman laughed openly. "No problem. My name is Liang Qiqi, and I'm twenty this year."
She had a tall figure, a neat, refreshing high ponytail, and an exceptionally bright smile on her lips.
Leo liked Liang Qiqi very much!
The young man beside her pushed up his glasses. "Feng Liuliu, twenty-one this year."
Short hair, glasses, fair skin, and a rather cold temperament.
Leo felt that he was a bit like a venomous snake lurking in the shadows.
"My assessment is—arm-wrestling! Use whatever method you want. One hand, two hands, four hands, anything goes," Leo declared confidently, hands on her hips.
"Alright!"
Liang Qiqi smiled confidently and placed her hand on the table.
Leo grinned as well and clasped Liang Qiqi's hand.
Virgo stepped between them. "Ready... begin!"
Boom!
An invisible wave of force rippled out from between their palms, making the liquor bottles clink.
Leo's eyes lit up. This girl had some strength!
Liang Qiqi's expression, on the other hand, instantly turned grave. She felt as though a towering mountain stood before her. Even with everything she had, she could not budge it in the slightest.
At that moment, Leo looked at the unmoved Feng Liuliu. "Aren't you joining in?"
Feng Liuliu smiled. "Leave this sort of thing to Qiqi."
Virgo's eyes flickered slightly at those words.
Seeing that Leo still had the leisure to concern herself with Feng Liuliu, Liang Qiqi's competitive spirit surged. She gritted her teeth. "Are you... looking down on me?!"
In an instant, a layer of white True Qi gradually covered her palm, and she actually forced Leo's hand down slightly.
"Ooh! That's kind of interesting," Leo said in surprise.
But Liang Qiqi's heart only grew heavier. Even now, the loli before her was still relying purely on the strength of her physical body.
"Still, playtime's over!"
Leo grinned, and Liang Qiqi suddenly felt an overwhelming force surge through her hand, utterly impossible to resist!
"Are you ticklish?"
A voice suddenly came from beside Leo, causing her to stop her movement.
She answered instinctively, "A little."
"Then that'll do."
The moment he finished speaking, Leo realized something was wrong. Just as she was about to speak, someone scratched her underarm.
"Hahahahaha!"
Because of the tickling, Leo could no longer maintain the strength in her hand.
Liang Qiqi felt the pressure in her hand suddenly loosen, and she pushed Leo's hand down.
After withdrawing her hand, she saw Leo spring backward and land on the floor.
She rolled around while laughing wildly.
"Ahahahaha! You... ahahahaha!"
Feng Liuliu, who was crouched beside her, was somewhat speechless. He was still holding the scratching pose. "I only scratched once."
Only after about half a minute did Leo finally stop. Wiping away her tears, she stood up.
"How did you get to that spot?"
She had not sensed him at all!
Feng Liuliu adjusted his glasses. "Secret."
Leo nodded in understanding. "Alright, no matter what, you two passed! Little girl, you've got some real strength! Train a bit more and you'll be able to spar with me in the future!"
Liang Qiqi smiled bitterly. "Not at all. Sister Leo is the impressive one."
Hearing that, Leo proudly rubbed her nose.
But at that moment, Virgo stepped forward. "Wait. I have something to ask you two."
"From Feng Liuliu's tone, it seems that you... know each other?"
There was something dangerous in Virgo's eyes. By her logic, the people of Black Palace had either died or scattered long ago. How could their descendants possibly know one another?
Leo scratched her head, still wondering what the problem was.
Feng Liuliu adjusted his glasses and calmly said, "Our parents knew each other to begin with, so naturally we know each other. We even grew up with the goal of joining Black Palace."
"Is that so?" Virgo frowned slightly.
At that moment, Feng Liuliu turned his gaze toward Wang Hao. "If you don't believe me, you can ask our big brother."
Leo and Virgo: ???
Wang Hao put his hands behind his back and clenched them tight.
Damn Feng Liuliu! You pull something like this without even discussing it with me?!
Though furious inside, his face remained expressionless. "Yes, I'm their big brother."
Virgo raised an eyebrow. "Explain."
"Fate. We all lived together."
"And later, you got along?"
"More or less."
"Oh."
Virgo nodded.
Feng Liuliu: ???
Wait, hold on? That was it?
Now he was the one who was confused.
Feng Liuliu had intended to prank Wang Hao, planning to smooth things over himself afterward. He had not expected the woman before him to trust Wang Hao so readily!
He gave Wang Hao a look that said, Not bad, only to meet eyes brimming with killing intent.
Feng Liuliu chuckled and backed away two steps.
"What can you all do publicly?" Virgo asked.
"Hmm... I can only work as a waitress," Liang Qiqi said after thinking for a moment.
"I can mix drinks." Feng Liuliu's lips curled upward.
Virgo and Leo's eyes lit up.
A bartender! They were badly short on one!
Leo and Virgo patted Feng Liuliu on the shoulder at the same time. "We'll leave it to you from now on."
"No problem." Feng Liuliu smiled.
What he did not know was that these two beings before him would become his nightmare!
Meanwhile.
Wan Qingyun and Jiang Junyi had already escaped the previous high-temperature environment and were each doing their own thing.
Jiang Junyi was browsing Taobao, because he felt that couples and married pairs should have some little surprises.
Wan Qingyun, meanwhile, was focused on processing documents, stretching a little from time to time.
Jiang Junyi noticed this and remembered that he still had the God-tier Massage Technique!
So he quietly moved to Wan Qingyun's side, placed his warm hands on her shoulders and neck, and began kneading gently.
Wan Qingyun noticed but did not stop him. She really was a little tired.
"Qingyun~"
"Hmm?"
"I know a massage technique. It's unbeatable. Do you want to try it?"
"Aren't you already doing it?" Wan Qingyun asked, somewhat puzzled.
"Uh... my technique is a Foot Therapy Skill."
Foot therapy?
Wan Qingyun fell silent for a moment. "But I can't feel my lower legs..."
Hearing that, Jiang Junyi's hands became even gentler. "Give it a try. Maybe this Foot Therapy Skill of mine can help you recover."
Wan Qingyun hesitated. She truly wanted to stand again, but...
"You don't have any perverted ideas, do you?"
"I—" Jiang Junyi was instantly at a loss for words. "How could I? I just wanted to try... to see whether it had... any effect..."
"Hmph... You sound a little guilty."
Wan Qingyun snorted, but then let out a sigh.
"Fine. Let's try it."
