Designed by students from Xigong University, the "Blood Drinker Sword" boasts a sleek aerodynamic appearance and a technological feel.
But in essence, it is a "triangular bayonet," inherently ruthless and intimidating, and it also enjoys toying with its prey.
It seems that he is not a good match for Wan Qing, a girl with such a gentle and tender nature.
Lu Li had assumed that Wan Qing would choose something like "Painting Shadow" or "Green Frost".
However, the recognition of a divine object by its owner still depends on the concept of "fate".
"Blood Drinker Sword" and Wan Qing got along very well, and at this moment they were rubbing against each other affectionately.
Wan Qing smiled gently and stroked him lightly, showering him with affection as if it were free; they spent a very pleasant time together.
By supplying one less flying sword, Lu Li could save himself a significant amount of energy and greatly alleviate the pressure.
He smiled and said, "Very good. This greatly increases your ability to protect yourselves, and I can feel more at ease while I'm busy outside."
Wan Qing gracefully bowed and performed a Wanfu Ceremony, sincerely saying, "Thank you so much for your generous gift, Wan Qing Young Master Lu! I am deeply grateful! Um..."
Seeing Xiao Cha's puzzled expression, she quickly added:
"The flying sword is one I raised for you; you can take it back anytime you need it..."
"Don't be so polite," Xiao Cha whispered, taking her friend's hand.
"I'm sorry about earlier... Please take this flying sword."
Wan Qing grasped the other's hand tightly and nodded gently; the two girls were reconciled as before.
At this moment, Lu Li asked, "So, what's the matter that you activated your minds and called me back?"
The two girls held hands and smiled. Xiao Cha said:
"I was really worried at first, but as soon as you came back, I suddenly felt like it wasn't a big deal."
Wan Qing explained, "Here's what happened. Chief Constable Chen originally wanted to take Xiao Cha to see Prefect Zhang to try and secure a position. But that Prefect Zhang... has taken a liking to Xiao Cha and has been constantly trying to get her to accompany him for drinks, pestering her relentlessly."
Lu Li frowned. "Workplace sexual harassment?"
Xiao Cha is pretty, with a slender waist, long legs, and a big bottom; such a beauty is bound to attract attention.
But just thinking about that person's face sent a chill down Xiao Cha's spine.
"The way that guy surnamed Zhang stared at me sent chills down my spine. It's not just about lust; that's why I called you back to give me some advice."
Lu Li asked, "What is his cultivation level?"
"Spirit Concentration blood exchange."
Looking at the courtyard full of flying swords, Xiao Cha said excitedly:
"I was worried about what to do, since officials check their chairs before sitting down these days. But with so many flying swords, you can easily crush him in one go!"
Xiao Cha's beautiful eyes darted around as she began to plan:
"We'll ambush him on his commute, kill him, and run... No! So many flying swords deployed at once is too conspicuous; we need to strike where no one's around..."
Assassinating a fourth-rank official of the imperial court is no easy task, especially since so many flying swords cannot be exposed; careful planning is essential.
Just as Xiao Cha was racking her brains, Lu Li put his arm around her slender waist and said:
"No need for all that trouble. I've got a cannon. We just need to choose the right time and place, and we'll blast him to death."
"A cannon?" Xiao Cha asked hesitantly, "How do you use it? Won't it make a lot of noise?"
Lu Li said confidently:
"I can use my mind to simulate a silencer, then we can move the cannon to the wilderness. No problem."
"Young Master Lu ..." Wan Qing spoke up at this moment:
"You want to control the shells mentally from an extremely long distance, but the range is probably not enough."
This girl actually knows a lot about cannons; she drew two circles on the ground with her foot and said:
"The desolate, uninhabited area is at least 20 kilometers from the inner city, but the cannon only has a range of 10 kilometers. It's also heavy and large; by the time you two transport it there and deploy it, it'll probably be a whole day."
Limited by metallurgical technology, cannons of this era generally had a range of about 10 kilometers and were also very cumbersome.
Unfortunately, Lu Li was using the latest modern artillery, so he didn't have such concerns at all.
"Thank you for reminding me, Wan Qing. I understand now; it's not a big problem."
Seeing Lu Li's confidence, Wan Qing felt relieved. "Young Master must have considered everything. I was just showing off my limited skills before an expert."
"No, no... By the way, you seem to know a lot about cannons?"
Lu Li asked casually, Wan Qing replied softly, "I helped move the shells."
Lu Li nodded, asked no further questions, and then turned to Xiao Cha and said:
"Then you should gather intelligence carefully and tell me his whereabouts through the puppet."
"I'll use a puppet to tell you..." Xiao Cha asked, "Are you still leaving?"
Lu Li nodded and said, "I still have some unfinished business to attend to."
Xiao Cha wasn't too happy about it, but she wouldn't interfere with her husband's affairs.
But then she suddenly remembered something, squeezed her long legs together, and blushed as she said:
"Are you leaving soon? There's a part of my martial arts training that I can't seem to get to the right point. Could you use your Heavenly Eye to take a look?"
Lu Li chuckled and said, "It's not a rush, I can stay for five or six hours."
"That's good, let's go inside and talk."
The girl pulled Lu Li to his room.
Wan Qing knew exactly what the two were up to, spat, and beckoned her flying sword to fly away.
~~~~~~~~~
Once inside, Xiao Cha spread a mattress on the bed and soon returned, her body damp with sweat.
The two embraced and cuddled for a while.
But Xiao Cha suddenly said, "Could you take a look at this part for me? I just can't seem to get it right."
"So you actually have something important to say?"
Xiao Cha blushed and punched Lu Li twice, then pointed to herself and said:
"I want to start my marrow cleansing here."
"Okay, I'll take a look..."
Her figure was graceful and shapely, a sight that pleased Lu Li greatly, who couldn't bear to look away.
The girl scolded him a few times, and he quickly opened his [Heavenly Eye] to look.
The scene before my eyes was like a combination of thermal imaging, X-ray, and CT scan, extremely chaotic and complex.
What Lu Li wanted to see was the girl using her Internal Breath to refine her hip bones.
Countless blue light spots converged along the Foot Shaoyin Meridian to this point, which was the Internal Breath.
However, the sheer volume of these products put a strain on the body.
Lu Li quickly said, "Reduce the amount... reduce it even more... okay..."
She immediately realized what was going on, and looked at her man with delight in her beautiful eyes, saying:
"Having your Internal Vision, a Spirit Refining master, is so convenient!"
"So, how are you going to thank me... um..."
Wan Qing thought she was far enough away, but hearing her friend's agonizing commotion, she spat again, went back inside, and closed the doors and windows.
