Why So Serious

Wan Qing didn't have enough strength, so to relax the muscles and bones of the martial artist, she could only use her body weight to step on them.

Honestly, Lu Li's heart was itching, he really wanted to try what that felt like~

Unfortunately, the prevailing customs in Shenzhou were rather conservative, and a woman's feet couldn't be casually looked at by others.

So he could only stare enviously, watching Xiao Cha enjoy this comfortable treatment every day.

For the past few days, this girl hadn't practiced martial arts either.

Every day, besides going to the Patrol Officer's office, she would come back to eat, drink, and play, enjoying Wan Qing's massage service.

Regarding this, Xiao Cha had a very valid reason: "I need to prepare for advancing to Organ Refining, so I must cultivate my mind and spirit, and harmonize my body and soul~"

This was equivalent to a high school student studying diligently every day, but then needing to rest well during the college entrance examination days.

It's just that Xiao Cha's recuperation was a bit too comfortable.

She moved a lounge chair from her own home into the courtyard and also brought a "tiger plush toy."

A character "王" (King) was sewn onto the plush toy's head. It looked particularly childish, but it was what Xiao Cha hugged when she slept...

Wan Qing was speechless: "You even brought 'Little Tiger'... Are you planning to live at my place from now on?"

Xiao Cha hugged her friend's slender waist and chuckled:

"My place is too quiet and boring, that's why I came to your place to cultivate myself, it's beneficial for breaking through~"

"Sigh... Then do as you please." Wan Qing's face was full of helpless doting.

Failing to advance to the Organ Refining realm could severely damage the internal organs and leave behind hidden ailments, so she had been indulging Xiao Cha these past few days.

Lu Li naturally saw this and was deeply moved by the profound friendship between the two girls, which was already surpassing that of sisters.

At this moment, he was practicing the White Dragon Whip Technique not far away, sweating profusely and training extremely hard.

Xiao Cha clicked her tongue and sighed: "This kid is really diligent, it's like someone is chasing him with a knife from behind~"

Wan Qing listened to the sounds of Lu Li training and was also moved by this. This Young Master Lu seemed to train without regard for his own life...

Just then, Lu Li suddenly felt a strain in the large tendon around his waist, his movements became distorted, and his feet faltered, almost causing him to fall.

Xiao Cha darted over in a flash, raised her hand, and felt Lu Li's "erector spinae muscles," and immediately understood:

"You~ Don't push yourself so hard! After all, you're missing a leg, and exerting yourself will put a burden on your entire body."

She helped Lu Li onto the lounge chair, applied force with her fingers, and stretched out the "knots" in the fascia.

Lu Li immediately felt much better and quickly thanked her.

However, this meant his martial arts training had to be paused.

Great times couldn't be wasted, so Lu Li glared at the "tiger plush toy" and tossed it back and forth with his mind power.

This was a method of adapting to and controlling strength by using a "small amount, many times" approach, to achieve meticulous control.

Xiao Cha massaged him while also asking with some confusion:

"By the way... why are you pushing yourself so hard? You just train every day, don't you feel tired?"

Tossing the "tiger plush toy" up and down, Lu Li was silent for a moment before saying:

"My first 12 years of life were carefree, but the years that followed were all about barely surviving. I thought I would die in a foreign land, but I never expected to stumble upon the path of cultivation by chance and gain strength..."

As he spoke, Lu Li's gaze sharpened, and the "tiger plush toy" landed precisely into Tong Shao's arms.

The little girl, who was bored and peeking out the window because she didn't dare to go outside, suddenly had a toy fall from the sky and her face lit up with a smile.

Lu Li smiled and continued:

"With strength, I finally experienced what it feels like to live freely, and I was able to help many people... Strength is truly a wonderful thing, so I yearn for strength! Only with strength can I be unrestrained, and only then can I bring happiness and peace to those I care about!"

As he spoke, he inadvertently glanced at Wan Qing.

Wan Qing seemed to sense something, her face flushed slightly, and she lowered her head.

Xiao Cha was stunned for a moment, then suddenly stood up and said: "It's you who lives the most clearly! In this chaotic world, how can I have the right to be at ease!"

The girl took out the bottle of Blood Vitality Pills from her embrace and swallowed one on the spot!

"There's no better day than today, I, Luo Xiao Cha, will break through to Organ Refining!"

The medicinal effect was extremely potent. Not long after it entered her stomach, Xiao Cha's face turned rosy, and white steam puffed from her mouth and nose!

"Lu Li, over the next few days, watch carefully how I break through. You'll be able to use it yourself in the future!"

Organ Refining is a qualitative leap in Martial Arts, allowing one to possess an extraordinary physique.

The advancement is by no means a simple "ding" sound; it requires time for the body to transform and strengthen, with the entire process taking 3 to 7 days.

Wan Qing was afraid that Xiao Cha might have any accidents, so she stayed by her side at all times to look after her.

Xiao Cha, on the other hand, maintained a calm state of mind, living each day as usual, and even guiding Lu Li in his martial arts practice.

"Subconsciously, you always neglect the muscles and bones on the side of your broken leg. Over time, your body will become crooked!"

"The more you struggle, the more you have to push! Use the side with the broken leg to exert force!"

Xiao Cha immediately saw the problem and helped Lu Li correct it.

Lu Li, feeling the girl's increasingly strong heartbeat and more radiant skin, was also lost in thought.

According to ancient Xia Country principles, the five organs are the center of human life activities, responsible for storing and producing "essence and vital energy" and maintaining the life process.

If they grow stronger, they will definitely bring about a qualitative change in bodily functions!

Time passed until the fifteenth of July, the Ghost Festival.

Xiao Cha's lungs had expanded to their limit, and when she exhaled, she actually let out a stream of misty arrow-like gas!

She was overjoyed and explained to Lu Li:

"This is [Exhale Arrow], indicating that the breakthrough has entered its final stage. If I get through this, I will achieve Organ Refining!"

Lu Li noted this down, considering it valuable experience.

At this moment, Xiao Cha entered the most critical phase, and any disturbance was absolutely not allowed.

But as fate would have it, what one fears often comes to pass.

Xiao Cha had been so busy with her breakthrough that she hadn't been to the Patrol Officer Bureau for many days.

Someone observant immediately noticed the anomaly and deduced the girl's crucial timing!

On the afternoon of the Ghost Festival, dense footsteps were heard around the medical clinic.

Immediately after, the door was kicked open, and a team of 12 Patrol Officers in black uniforms rushed in.

"Patrol Officer Bureau is conducting an investigation, everyone stay put!"

Amidst the arrogant shouts of a few thugs, a young man with stars on his epaulets walked into the courtyard.

This was the Captain Qin, whom they had met once before.

He had previously cooperated with Yi Qingchuan to apprehend a child and had also berated Xiao Cha.

Xiao Cha immediately rushed out and shouted, "Qin Chuan! What do you mean by this!"

Qin Chuan's face was stern, adopting a professional demeanor:

"I suspect you are involved in the Guo Zhuang massacre case. We are now searching this place. Stay put and don't act rashly."

"You are clearly using your position for personal revenge! You were exposed by my father for deceiving and raping a young woman back then, and you've held a grudge ever since!"

Xiao Cha retorted, but her heart was a little panicked.

Qin Chuan's brazen arrival indicated that he didn't believe any massacre suspects were here either; he was just using it as a pretext for personal revenge.

But the problem was, this was something they had actually done... Tong Shao was hidden inside the house!

At this moment, Qin Chuan waved his hand, and his subordinates were about to rush into the house. Someone even drew handcuffs and walked towards Lu Li, shouting:

"You look like a cripple, you don't seem like a good person. Come with us!"

In short, their intention was to smash things, insult them, and disrupt Xiao Cha's state of mind.

Qin Chuan stared coldly at Xiao Cha, hoping the visibly upset girl would resist, thus giving him an excuse to openly attack!

"We absolutely cannot let this woman break through!"

With existing animosity between them, the situation would certainly not end peacefully.

Seeing this, Lu Li raised his hand and summoned, a [Continuous Spray] flew into his hand, and he was about to kill all these Patrol Officers on the spot!

But if he did this, he would never have a peaceful life again
