A Young Girl's Beautiful Legs

In front of the employee dormitories.

Production line supervisor Li Yuan was heading toward the open ground behind the dorms.

Today was the day the company went out together to purchase supplies.

Since the surrounding environment had become unstable, Celestial God Company had decided to purchase supplies collectively.

Every purchasing trip was a company-wide operation, with Security Department personnel assigned to provide protection.

Purchasing took place once a week.

Before departure, the supervisors of each production line would notify the employees who had signed up in advance.

Their production line was now only missing Xu Qing at the gathering point.

So Zhou Yu had sent Li Yuan to find Xu Qing.

He knew that if Xu Qing was not in the dormitory, he would be practicing martial arts in the open ground behind it, so he came straight here.

"I wonder what kind of damn luck that brat has. The boss thinks so highly of him that she even had me come find him personally. Damn it."

Li Yuan searched for Xu Qing while muttering curses under his breath.

Bang!

Bang!

"Hm?"

Just then.

From the woods by the open ground.

A series of dull impacts caught Li Yuan's attention.

As he walked toward the source of the sound.

He saw Xu Qing standing bare-chested and drenched in sweat before an ancient tree.

He was hammering his fists into the thick old tree before him, one punch after another.

The tree's once-rough bark had already been completely worn away.

A massive sunken flat surface had appeared across the trunk.

Xu Qing had literally punched it into existence, blow by blow.

With every punch he threw.

Many of the few remaining branches and leaves on the ancient tree were shaken loose.

The thunderous punches and rustling shower of fallen leaves struck Li Yuan with tremendous force.

"Damn it, if that fist landed on someone, it could probably kill them in one blow!"

Li Yuan swallowed, muttering to himself in shock.

Then his expression changed, and he put on a smiling face as he called out loudly, "Oh, Qing Zi! So you're here!"

As he spoke, he quickly headed toward Xu Qing.

Whoosh!

Xu Qing drew back his fist and stood still, turning to look at Li Yuan.

Because he had just been practicing Tiger Form, there was a murderous aura in his gaze as his eyes shifted.

That single look frightened Li Yuan into stopping where he stood, too afraid to approach.

Xu Qing paused, then realized what had happened and smiled. "Oh, Supervisor Li."

The moment he smiled.

Li Yuan felt his entire body relax.

That tense feeling instantly vanished.

Once he came back to himself, Li Yuan wiped the sweat from his forehead and unconsciously walked up to Xu Qing with a slight bend at the waist, smiling. "Come on, everyone's waiting for you. We're heading out to buy supplies today."

Li Yuan glanced at the bare tree trunk behind Xu Qing and hurriedly added, "The moment I saw you weren't there, I came specifically to look for you. We can leave anyone behind but you."

Xu Qing smiled faintly. "All right. Thanks for the trouble, Supervisor Li. I'll go back and change."

Li Yuan hurriedly said, "Haha, it's nothing, it's nothing. We're all our own people here, why be so formal?"

"Go ahead and change. I'll wait for you downstairs. If you're feeling uncomfortable, you can hurry up and take a shower too. No rush."

Xu Qing nodded, picked up the clothes hanging from a nearby branch, and strode toward the dormitory.

Watching Xu Qing walk away.

Li Yuan finally let out a breath, then turned to look again at the massive tree that would take three people to encircle.

"Is this thing really that fragile?"

Seeing how Xu Qing had nearly shaken the tree apart with every punch, doubt instantly rose in his heart.

So he walked up to the tree and kicked its trunk with all his strength.

However.

Not only did the entire tree not budge in the slightest, the powerful rebound force made his right leg cramp up on the spot.

"Ow!"

Li Yuan let out a pained groan.

Cursing loudly, he limped toward the dormitory entrance.

But in his heart, his awe of Xu Qing only grew deeper.

There was no longer any of the contempt or disdain he had once felt when looking at some little brat.

In Li Yuan's mind, Xu Qing had already been ranked among the top three people he absolutely could not afford to provoke.

Very soon.

After tidying up a little, Xu Qing and Li Yuan arrived at the gathering point together.

The employees who had been growing impatient and wanted to curse, upon seeing Xu Qing's tall figure and Li Yuan's ingratiating smile.

All unconsciously shut their mouths.

Nearly everyone in the company knew that Xu Qing practiced martial arts.

After all, quite a few employees had seen him training in the open ground behind the dormitories.

Although he had yet to become a Gene Martial Artist.

He already possessed an imposing presence.

When the two arrived.

The boss, Zhou Yu, called out to the deputy leader of the Security Team leading the group.

Then she unexpectedly came over to Xu Qing in person.

She gave him several reminders about being extremely careful while out and about.

As though she were treating one of her own younger relatives.

The surrounding employees all wore looks of astonishment and envy.

Finally, Zhou Yu pulled over a tall young girl from the crowd and told Xu Qing to look after her.

Only after rambling on for quite a while did Zhou Yu leave.

The girl was Zhou Yu's daughter, Zhou Tong.

Not long after, two buses carrying over a hundred people drove out of the company grounds under the escort of two jeeps.

On the bus, Zhou Tong, seated beside Xu Qing, occasionally glanced at him as he rested with his eyes closed, seemingly quite curious about him.

As the boss's daughter.

Zhou Tong had grown up in the company and naturally knew most of its employees.

Xu Qing alone had joined the company during the year she had been studying on the moon.

So she did not know him.

Because of the three-month summer break, Zhou Tong had returned to Blue Star with her mother.

She had also heard her father mention this highly promising young man.

"Hey, let's get acquainted. My name is Zhou Tong."

Zhou Tong spoke softly to Xu Qing.

At the same time, she nudged Xu Qing, who was resting with his eyes closed, with her elbow.

"Hello. Xu Qing."

Xu Qing replied without opening his eyes, his tone extremely calm.

Naturally, he had to listen to the boss. The Zhou Family had shown him immense kindness, and he had to repay it.

But Xu Qing also knew his own position. He was just a lowly employee.

He did not want this young lady of the Zhou Family to misunderstand and think he had improper intentions.

Yet from beginning to end, he had been keeping an eye on the situation inside the bus.

He would look after the girl, but he did not want anyone to misunderstand.

"Tch, acting all high and mighty, are you?"

Seeing his attitude, Zhou Tong pursed her lips in dissatisfaction and stopped paying attention to Xu Qing.

Instead, she began chatting with the familiar veteran employees seated nearby.

From time to time, Xu Qing could hear Sister Liu, an older employee in the seat behind them, mentioning words like "handsome," "smart," and "hardworking" to Zhou Tong.

Just as Xu Qing was wondering which handsome guy in the company she was talking about, he heard his own name.

Zhou Tong immediately began to snicker, seeming to even turn back and glance at Xu Qing.

Listening to the girl chatter endlessly beside him, Xu Qing, whose head was starting to ache from the noise, gave her a speechless glare.

Only to see Zhou Tong sitting sideways in her seat.

Her long, glossy black hair draped over her shoulders.

Her pair of fair, beautiful legs were boldly displayed before him beneath her ultra-short denim shorts.

He had heard that Zhou Tong was already nineteen this year, extremely intelligent, and an outstanding student.

She also had an exceptional figure and beautiful looks, making her very popular at school.

She really was a budding beauty.

In an instant, the noise became pleasant to the ear.

Xu Qing's irritated mood improved somewhat.

Ah, beautiful women really can put people in a good mood.

Shamelessly, Xu Qing took a few more looks at those beautiful legs.

Then he leaned against the window and began pretending to sleep.

Zhao Xinfeng, another employee who had practiced martial arts with him back then, was said to have given up a few months ago.

That left Xu Qing feeling rather emotional.

Sure enough, Senior Liu had been right. On the path of martial arts, the hardest part was persistence.

About two hours later.

The bus arrived at the county town closest to the company.

"Everyone, remember this. You only have five hours of free time. We'll head back at six this afternoon. If you aren't there by then, we won't wait for you. Remember that!"

The deputy leader of the Security Department spoke loudly inside the bus.

"Stay with everyone and don't run around. I need to take care of something first. Once I'm back, I'll go wherever you want with you, all right?"

Before getting off the bus, Xu Qing thought for a moment before speaking to Zhou Tong in a consultative tone.

Zhou Tong frowned and glanced at him. "Go, go. I'm not a child. I won't tell my dad."

Xu Qing smiled gratefully, stood up, and headed down without hesitation.

The moment he got off the bus.

Xu Qing headed straight for the address on the Business Card Liu Zhankun had left him.

But he had barely taken two steps.

When he heard someone calling him from behind.

Xu Qing turned around and saw Zhou Tong chasing after him in sneakers, her beautiful legs stretching with each stride. "Hey! Your phone number!!"

Zhou Tong said unhappily, "Big brother, if you don't leave me your number, how am I supposed to contact you if I run into danger?"

Xu Qing said awkwardly, "I forgot. Sorry, I've never taken the initiative to give a girl my number before."

Zhou Tong stared at Xu Qing in shock, then burst out laughing. "You're still single?"

"My number is 187—" Xu Qing instantly turned serious again and gave her his number. Once he saw Zhou Tong write it down, he turned and left without hesitation.

Zhou Tong immediately covered her mouth and laughed.

Although Xu Qing was just a little brat in her eyes.

This little brat was kind of funny.

"That little brat!"

Still laughing, she simply went shopping with several female employees nearby.

After leaving the main group, Xu Qing hailed a car on the road.

Half an hour later, he arrived at a small shop named Lunar Surface Commerce Alliance, the place listed on the Business Card.

Standing before the shop, Xu Qing examined it carefully.

Although the shop was not large, its decor was quite elegant.

There were many display cases inside.

But only one staff member.

After giving it some thought, Xu Qing quickly entered the store.

"Hello, feel free to look around." The clerk spoke to Xu Qing coldly without even lifting his head from his phone.

Xu Qing did not mind. He directly took out the Business Card. "Hello, Brother Liu Zhankun referred me here. I'm looking for Boss Chen Bai."

Upon hearing this, the clerk immediately raised his head and looked at Xu Qing in surprise.

When he saw the Business Card in Xu Qing's hand, his cold face immediately broke into an enthusiastic smile.

"So you were referred by Brother Liu! Please have a seat. I'll pour you some water, and we can talk at our leisure."

The clerk hurried out from behind the counter and pointed at the sofa in the store.

"Hello, my name is Wang Yang. Our boss went to the moon to restock these past two days, so he isn't here. But don't worry, I can serve you just as well!"

Seeing the clerk's drastic change in attitude,

Xu Qing finally relaxed.

It seemed Liu Zhankun's name carried quite a bit of weight.

Once the two of them were seated, Xu Qing explained why he had come.

"Hello, I only started cultivating recently, so there's a lot I don't understand about the Genetic Martial Path.

Could you give me a simple introduction to the various aspects and requirements of being a Gene Martial Artist?

Including Gene Potions suitable for the early stages."

Hearing this, the clerk's expression turned understanding, and he patiently replied, "I see. Then you've come to the right place.

May I ask how to address you, sir?"

"My surname is Xu," Xu Qing said simply.

"Mr. Xu, please come with me," the clerk said with a smile as he stood. "I'll introduce everything one by one. Let's start with weapons."
