333 Awakening

"Oh my gosh~ Our True Man Lu is back~"

Xiao Cha Chale ran over excitedly, her cheeks flushed and glistening with sweat.

Upon closer inspection of Lu Li, the girl's expression changed slightly:

"Your trip must have been tough... You weren't hurt, were you?"

Lu Li laughed and said, "I'm fine... How could you tell?"

"You look exhausted, but there's a murderous glint in your eyes; you must have had a big fight with someone."

Xiao Cha stared with her large, clear eyes, and spoke without missing a single detail.

It's because they know each other so well that even the slightest change is noticeable.

Lu Li smiled and said, "It was indeed a big undertaking, but fortunately it was very fruitful. We don't lack inspiration for now... Oh, right."

He looked at Xia Weiyin and said, "The betrothal gifts are also prepared."

As soon as he finished speaking, the puppet opened the money box, revealing gleaming gold bricks.

"You don't need so many..."

Xia Weiyin blushed slightly and said, "This will amount to 14 tons. Just take out one ton as a token, and keep the rest."

"Haha~ Sister Xia hasn't even married into the family yet, and she's already starting to save money for her husband's family~"

Xiao Cha teased him mercilessly, and Xia Weiyin raised his head and said:

"We're all aiming for the Golden Body Realm, shouldn't we have some gold on hand? How can we empty our coffers just to save face?"

That makes sense, but Xiao Cha was taken aback when she heard it:

"Grandmaster the Golden Body Realm? Me?"

"Of course!"

Xia Weiyin said matter-of-factly:

"You've already Blood Transformation Completion at only eighteen. Even the true disciples of my Dragon Gate Sect can't compare. You're definitely aiming for the [Golden Body] Realm."

"Eh..."

Xiao Cha rubbed her head, still not Avatar.

Last year I was just a country bumpkin Bone Forging, and suddenly I've become someone who has the potential to become Grandmaster...

She glanced at Lu Li; following this man... her life trajectory had changed drastically!

But Lu Li seemed to feel that the changes weren't significant enough, and suddenly said:

"Forget about the gold for now, come on~ I'll give you some inspiration, strive to Grandmaster as soon as possible~"

He first bit into Xiao Cha's beak, and then used two units of inspiration.

Then he went to bite Xia Weiyin.

Xia Weiyin was stunned and said, "Again? No, I still have a little bit left from what you gave me last time... um..."

Lu Li didn't say much and directly bit down and crossed over.

"Pleasure God!"

Xia Weiyin was so shocked that she forgot to resist:

"Could this divine object be like a meal, served at fixed times? Then my previous goal seems too low..."

After finishing with her, Lu Li looked up and asked, "Where's Wan Qing?"

"My lord~"

Wan Qing walked over from the warehouse and smiled gently:

"I used your machine to make a lot of Calming Essential Oil, which I'll include as part of the dowry."

Gold alone is too vulgar for a bride price, but with Calming Essential Oil that even those in the Out of Body Realm can use, the style is instantly elevated.

"You've thought of everything!" Lu Li said with a smile.

"Here, I'll give you a heads-up. Then you can massage my back; I'm so tired."

Lu Li kissed Wan Qing, and a spark of inspiration flew through him.

Even with two separate units already, they still managed to get through continuously.

"Oh, my lord, that's enough..."

"Not enough, I want to see how much your Vermilion Bird can eat!"

Wan Qing was no ordinary person; the quick wit of two units was far from sufficient.

We didn't have the means before, but now of course we have to make sure she's well-fed.

Lu Li exerted all his strength and only felt resistance after crossing 100 units, so he stopped.

"As expected of the Vermilion Bird, even its flying sword can only absorb 20 units."

Lu Li clicked his tongue in amazement.

Having absorbed so much, Wan Qing's eyes had now turned a fiery red.

The Vermilion Bird in the Sea of Consciousness was dancing wildly, absorbing and refining a massive amount of spiritual energy, and then returning it to its master.

With a total of 100 units of inspiration, and Wan Qing being one of the Four Spirits Descended, this is going to be quite a show.

However, at this moment, she only felt dizzy and her body was burning hot, and she managed to say:

"You've given me too much, my lord... I feel unworthy of it."

"Don't worry about it, I'm not short of inspiration right now... Let me help you back to your room to rest."

Lu Li carried Wan Qing back to the room and let her lie on the bed to focus on refining her essence.

However, this means the back massage experience will be delayed.

Lu Li felt a little regretful, but as soon as she stepped out of the room, Xiao Cha jumped over and said:

"Back massage, huh? Here, let me give you one~"

"You?"

Lu Li stared at Xiao Cha's size 38 feet, somewhat hesitant.

Xiao Cha punched him playfully and said angrily:

"What kind of expression is that! I was Meditative Entry Spirit Refinement state, and I learned it from Wan Qing while you were away!"

"Oh, I see. Come on then."

Back-stepping, also known as foot-stepping, has a history of over 2000 years. Although it involves stepping with your feet, it is a delicate procedure in Traditional Medicine.

Xiao Cha has always been carefree, and Lu Li didn't really believe she could master it in a short time.

But not wanting to disappoint her, he went inside with her.

Xia Weiyin was left standing blankly in the courtyard, seemingly stunned by a sudden inspiration, and remained motionless for a long time.

~~~~~~~~~

In the room, Lu Li took off his shirt and lay face down on the bed.

Xiao Cha took off her shoes and socks, revealing her white, bare feet. Then, with a powerful leap, she jumped directly onto Lu Li's back.

Lu Li was very tense at first, but Xiao Cha controlled her strength very precisely.

This girl also possesses the Body Follows Will and has a refined control over her strength honed through years of martial arts training.

More importantly, she genuinely wanted Lu Li to be comfortable.

A pair of flexible feet massage the meridians, and energetic toes quickly press and grasp acupoints, bringing a vibrant and pleasant experience.

All the fatigue and exhaustion left on Blue Star vanished. Lu Li closed his eyes and hummed comfortably.

Xiao Cha said proudly, "See? Wan Qing said I stepped on it well!"

"You're really impressive; I underestimated you."

Lu Li relaxed completely, enjoying the moment, and eventually drifted off to sleep.

Xiao Cha gently moved down and lay down next to Lu Li, gazing at his slightly tired profile.

"I remember when we first met, I wanted to arrest him, haha."

Xiao Cha laughed to herself, then stared at Lu Li and whispered:

"I'm no longer that country bumpkin; I'm destined to become Grandmaster. Only by becoming Grandmaster can I stand beside him..."

As the girl was lost in thought, Lu Li suddenly opened his eyes and woke up.

Xiao Cha said softly, "If you're tired, just go to sleep. Why did you suddenly wake up?"

Lu Li said with a serious expression, "I suddenly remembered something important!"

Seeing him suddenly wake up and look like that, Xiao Cha thought something serious had happened.

But then, Lu Li raised his hand and summoned a large pile of strange objects.

"I just remembered I brought back a lot of stockings. Put them on and stomp on them for me!"

Xiao Cha: "..."

These nylon products have already appeared in other worlds, but their craftsmanship is far inferior to that of those on Blue Star.

The emotions she had felt moments before vanished instantly. Xiao Cha clenched her fists, wanting to punch the lecherous man in front of her.

Lu Li was completely unaware, and even pulled out a black one and put it on Xiao Cha's feet.

"You have long legs, this will definitely look great on you!"

"You're such a pervert..."

Just as the two were about to start arguing, the door was suddenly kicked open; it was Xia Weiyin.

She said solemnly, "I'm going to advance to the Innate Realm!"
