There's a strange law in life: when you're short of money, expenses will follow one after another.
Ultimately, <Spirit Binding and General Dispatch> is a spell, and it requires practice to master.
Lu Li then considered buying a few "realistic dolls" to practice with.
Although he doesn't have a lot of money right now, he can still come up with a few hundred dollars.
But to my surprise, a quick online search revealed that "realistic dolls" are ridiculously expensive!
Even a basic one costs at least $1,000... and a realistic one costs tens of thousands of dollars.
Just as Lu Li was surprised by the price of this thing, UPS International Logistics called again.
The 1000-dollar Calming Incense I ordered last time have arrived.
Lu Li emphasized one question, "What is the volume of the cargo?"
The other party replied: [The carriage is almost full, and a special storage room is needed... When would be a convenient time for you to receive the goods?]
"I'll prepare and contact you as soon as possible."
After hanging up the phone, Lu Li glanced at his small 40-square-meter apartment and thought:
It seems I need to move to a bigger house, preferably a detached villa or estate, so it's easier to travel between the two worlds.
And just like that, another expense was added to our list.
At this moment, Jessica climbed onto Lu Li's lap and pleaded, "It's the weekend, let's go to the beach!"
Lu Li said, "It's not impossible, but I need to check your cultivation first. I'll demonstrate a set of the <White Dragon Whip Technique>."
Jessica immediately jumped to the ground and began practicing meticulously.
The girl was intelligent and had a flexible body; Lu Li looked her over and couldn't find anything wrong with her.
He nodded in satisfaction. "Very good, but keep it up and don't slack off."
"The kung fu you taught me is very comfortable to practice, and I practice it diligently every day."
Jessica smiled sweetly, "Can we go play now? It doesn't cost any money, just walking around with you is enough~"
"Of course, let's go."
"Yay!"
The girl cheered and began changing her clothes right in front of Lu Li.
She stripped naked without any hesitation, displaying her beauty.
The delicate pink flowers are about to bloom, offering their fragrance to your beloved.
~~~~~~~~~~~
The beach was crowded with people on the weekend, walking their dogs, playing football, and taking leisurely strolls.
There is also a steel barrier wall more than 3 meters high that stretches far into the sea.
This place is messy and the scenery isn't beautiful.
Jessica didn't care at all, clinging to Lu Li's arm with a big smile on her face.
At that moment, ships sailed by on the sea, and many seagulls circled around them.
Jessica pointed to the horizon and recited a line of poetry in Xia Language: "Golden gulls accompany the setting sun, sea and sky merge into one color."
The pronunciation and rhythm are very standard; it's obvious that they've put in a lot of hard work.
Lu Li took the initiative to pull Jessica into his arms, becoming increasingly intimate.
But just then, he ran into an acquaintance.
A girl dressed in white stockings, looking like an angel, was handing out a stack of flyers to passersby.
With her elegant and confident demeanor, and alluring yet sweet white stockings, Teresa truly embodies this.
She also saw Lu Li and nodded with a smile.
"Hello, my mother is about to give a street speech, and you are welcome to attend."
Not far away, a stern-faced middle-aged woman stood silently, holding a microphone.
This person is none other than Maria, the mayor of Tijuana City.
This woman is known for her unwavering stance on drug prohibition and enjoys high prestige among the public.
With the girl in white stockings handing out flyers, the crowd quickly grew to several layers deep.
The speech began quickly, with only one theme: resolutely fight drug crimes to the end!
The impassioned speech demonstrated his determination, and the crowd applauded and cheered frequently.
Unfortunately, people's joys and sorrows are not shared. Lu Li had no sense of belonging to this country and felt no emotion whatsoever.
He was only standing there to show his support out of politeness and curiosity, and was now preparing to leave quietly.
Suddenly, the woman giving the speech started taking off her clothes!
She took off her top, revealing her body covered in old bullet wounds, with a stoma bag hanging from her waist.
Upon seeing this scene, Jessica said, deeply moved:
"Ms. Maria has been assassinated multiple times by drug dealers and has lost her normal excretory function."
Lu Li's eyes narrowed, and his expression became much more serious.
The female mayor, topless, shouted passionately:
"I want to show my scars to the public, and I am not ashamed of them. There was no surrender, no giving up, and I will never tolerate the crimes of criminal gangs!"
The speech lasted a full hour, and Lu Li listened patiently to the end.
Despite possessing extraordinary powers, he respects those who uphold justice, even if that justice is weak and powerless.
At this moment, the crowd dispersed, and Lu Li and Jessica were also about to leave.
But after taking only a couple of steps, they heard Teresa scream!
Turning around, I saw the mayor and his entourage about to drive away.
But on the hood, there was a bloody human head!
The assistant recognized the head at a glance and cried out in terror:
"It's the prosecutor! The prosecutor who approved Lucardo's arrest!"
Maria's face was grim; this was clearly a warning from the Drug cartel!
Teresa was terrified; her face turned deathly pale, and her legs trembled. She instinctively gripped her mother's hand tightly.
~~~~~~~~~~~
The murder of a government official is nothing new, and the scene quickly calmed down as the mayor and his entourage hurriedly left.
But upon suddenly seeing a bloody human head, Jessica felt uneasy, so Lu Li put his arm around her and they slowly strolled home.
As they passed through a desolate area, Lu Li's expression suddenly hardened, and he said softly:
"Someone is following us, don't be afraid."
Jessica nodded obediently. "I'm not afraid. I brought a gun. Do you want to use it?"
"Need not."
Lu Li put his arm around Jessica and they entered a deserted, dark alley.
Tijuana has very few high-rise buildings; most of the buildings are messy, low-rise structures, and these alleyways are very common.
Before long, three burly men followed them in.
They had cold expressions, no cruelty on their faces like drug dealers, no tattoos, and a very sharp and capable demeanor.
Without saying a word, he pulled out an MP7 Submachine Gun from his pocket, intending to turn Lu Li and the other man into mincemeat.
But before they could even raise their guns, they found themselves unable to move, like tiny insects frozen in amber!
At this moment, the indifference on their faces had vanished, replaced only by horror!
Lu Li walked over and asked, "A member of Drug cartel?"
He only had this one enemy, so the visitor's identity was quite obvious.
The three burly men didn't answer; they just struggled desperately, their faces flushed red.
"Perfect timing to test the [Soul Extraction] technique on ordinary people with you all."
Lu Li snapped a person's neck with his gaze, then commanded his magic weapon to activate the [Soul Extraction] Divine Ability.
Soon, a sparse blue arc of electricity was absorbed into the Kunlun Mirror, far less powerful than that of two Cultivators.
After all, they are just ordinary people, which is normal.
Others couldn't see the Divine Soul; to them, this demon was clearly performing some evil ritual!
As if to confirm this conjecture, a crisp cracking sound rang out, and the second person's head suddenly turned 180 degrees, staring blankly at his back.
Lu Li continued to Soul Extraction, but still only managed to extract a small amount.
This bizarre scene completely broke the last remaining burly man, who cried out:
"God! Save me! Don't kill me! I was on Lucardo's orders to eliminate those involved..."
Lu Li asked, "Where is Lucardo?"
The man hurriedly replied, "At the 'Scrap Processing Center,' he set up many horrific torture devices. I swear I'm telling the truth, please let me go!"
Lu Li nodded and said, "One last question, did you put the heads on the car?"
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I was just following orders..."
Before he could finish speaking, a sharp whistling sound rang out, and a pen suddenly appeared in the man's forehead!
