When Li Bai drove the Santana 2000, which looked dilapidated on the outside but was in good condition inside, back to the residential complex where his rental apartment was located, the sky was already filled with lights.
Returning home and opening the door, he saw that, as he expected, the Demoness had lost track of time playing on the computer again.
He had been summoned by the Public Security Bureau for a statement in the morning, then was kept half the day by the Yao Family playing hard to get, and after returning from their smuggling warehouse, his entire day had been wasted for nothing.
After finishing dinner, Li Bai fully immersed himself in cultivation.
The Maha Bolan Sutra and the Innate Exotic Treasure Chaos Green Lotus he obtained unexpectedly were his two cornerstones, even surpassing his martial arts cultivation techniques and magical secret arts.
The upper, middle, and lower Dantians were independent of each other, yet interconnected.
Under the blessing of the Maha Bolan Sutra's scriptures, the Spiritual Power in the sea of consciousness within the upper Dantian was slowly being generated and began to vibrate with a peculiar rhythm.
This tremor traveled from top to bottom, quickly reaching the middle and lower Dantians.
The fissures on the surface of the solidified Spiritual Qi particle in the middle Dantian were further enlarged, and the Spiritual Qi absorbed from the Spirit Crystals continuously surged like a tide, scouring the hard Spiritual Qi block.
With a two-pronged approach, the solidified Spiritual Qi began to loosen bit by bit, dissipating into gaseous form and participating in the process of scouring the Spiritual Qi block.
In the lower Dantian, it was like continuous spring rain; countless tiny droplets formed out of thin air and then fell with a crackling sound.
The dense True Qi mist continued to condense into liquid Gang Qi, eventually forming a pool. Under the influence of the strange tremors from the upper Dantian, it slowly flowed into the Extraordinary Meridians, naturally forming the unique pulsation of the martial arts cultivation technique Canglang Jue.
Even without the help of the Chaos Green Lotus to manipulate the rules of heaven and earth, Li Bai's Spiritual Power, Spiritual Qi, and Gang Qi spontaneously formed a unique linkage. The effect of the Maha Bolan Sutra was no less than that of the Chaos Green Lotus; under the blessing of the scriptures, all three Dantians—upper, middle, and lower—entered a state of cultivation simultaneously.
Although the efficiency of cultivating to restore his former cultivation was slow and meager, like a trickle, the fact that he could still cultivate in this world where Spiritual Qi was scarce was already remarkable.
In front of the laptop on the desk, Qingyao, the Demoness, flicked her tail rapidly. The keyboard emitted crisp tapping sounds, like raindrops on banana leaves, continuously. Lines of text appeared in the post editing box on the forum page. With a light click of the submit button, it was quickly sent out.
Another battle manifesto that wasn't afraid of stirring up trouble was sent out, yet there were few responses.
The local forum of Huxi City, "17th Floor," had been spammed by "Li Bai's Demoness" for three days and three nights. One ID challenged all netizens, fighting alone but not at a disadvantage. The netizens of "17th Floor" couldn't withstand this relentless, incessant, and insane fighting power, and they all surrendered.
If you can't afford to provoke them, can't you avoid them?
As a result, such a strange scene appeared on the forum: "Li Bai's Demoness" became completely famous. Everyone on the "17th Floor" forum knew this terrifyingly strong, madman, or lunatic.
Although some people continued to secretly fan the flames, they couldn't withstand the attention fatigue caused by "Li Bai's Demoness's" excessive hype and trouble-making. Furthermore, the core of the topic was originally the murderer and rich second generation, Yao Bing. As time went on, related topics about whether the psychologist Li Bai was speaking out for money out of conscience or aiding and abetting evil, acting as a lackey for the rich, had to be silenced.
Moreover, not long ago, a group of people went to the Seventh People's Hospital to find this "unscrupulous" doctor to vent their anger. Unexpectedly, their plan went awry; they mistook the wrong person and were annihilated. This poured a basin of cold water on many well-intentioned people who had a sense of justice. Talking freely online was one thing, but taking actual action in reality was another.
Don't underestimate the online statements of many netizens. For the government, it was also a controllable outlet. After venting their negative emotions and dissatisfaction, they wouldn't think about unpleasant things for at least a short period.
In a society governed by law, if you truly thought you could do whatever you wanted, you'd probably be dead before you got far out the door. Yes, dead!
One must believe that the government, which rose to power through revolution, is absolutely the most professional in this regard.
Just as the Demoness pouted, wondering if it was lonely at the top, a large stone was thrown into the "17th Floor" forum.
"Police raid Zijing Villa No. 69 in Xicheng, taking away Yao Donghu, the general manager of Dongling Auto Company."
"The murder case of rich second generation Yao Bing has not yet subsided, and his father is now in trouble."
Like mushrooms after a rain, many news reports about Yao Bing's father being taken away by the police emerged one after another. The content was similar, but the news about Dongling Auto Company being involved in smuggling had not yet been exposed.
Yao Donghu never expected that the smuggling warehouse in the suburbs of Beilun City would be completely wiped out by the police. He had even forgotten about giving the order to kidnap Li Bai. The situation collapsed so quickly that he was caught off guard. Before he could even arrange some loose ends, the police arrived with an arrest warrant, rendering all his previous efforts futile.
With both father and son being interrogated by the police consecutively, the social attention on the Yao Family, after a slight decrease, began to surge again.
Many netizens excitedly spread the word: good and evil will eventually be repaid; the net of justice is vast and misses nothing. Yao Bing's father, in order to protect his son, used shady means and finally implicated himself. It was likely that Yao Bing would not escape legal sanctions soon either.
"Li Bai's Demoness: My Young Master made a move, and the Yao Family collapsed immediately. You bunch of unperceptive trash!"
Suddenly, a particularly eye-catching post popped up. Qingyao, the Demoness, who couldn't stand a quiet world and loved to stir up trouble, finally found a point to start causing trouble.
If one can tolerate this, what cannot be tolerated? The netizens of "17th Floor" had never seen such a shameless person.
If "Li Bai's Demoness" was previously a whitewashing expert with explosive combat power, then now she had become a shameless credit-hogger.
How thick-skinned does one have to be to claim credit for themselves?
To the Demoness, nothing was taboo. She only cared about having fun and didn't care what others thought. Having so many people to play with her was incredibly amusing.
If Li, the Great Demon, knew about the chaos this Demoness had caused online in the past few days, he would surely grab her by the tail and throw her into a pot to stew.
Li Bai ended his deep meditation of cultivating the Maha Bolan Sutra. When he opened his eyes again, it was already broad daylight.
Since returning from another world, his bed at home had become a mere decoration. He always sat on the sofa or a chair, cultivating with unwavering focus, striving to restore his peak cultivation from his past life as soon as possible.
As usual, he washed rice and cooked porridge. He took out a few frozen steamed buns from the freezer and put them in the steamer basket on top of the pot.
Living alone, he kept things simple. Even with an extra Demoness who only ate and didn't work, it only meant adding a bit more rice and a few more steamed buns.
As the natural gas stove was on full blast and the pot lid was steaming, Li Bai's phone rang.
The ringtone had already been changed. It was no longer the ending song "I Am A Little Green Dragon" from "Little Dragon Person," but a very ordinary, crisp ringtone.
The Demoness's morning greeting was already quite memorable. Hearing such a ringtone again would surely give him psychological trauma.
The caller ID showed his direct superior. Li Bai dared not be careless and answered respectfully.
"Hello, Dean Zhou!"
"Haven't been out recently? Is everything alright?"
"I have been out, and everything is fine!"
Dean Zhou clearly cared a lot about his subordinate, Li Bai, not only giving him paid leave but also calling to check on his well-being. Li Bai was very grateful for this.
"Do you have any plans recently?"
"Oh, no, no particular plans. Is there something you need?"
Li Bai could tell that Dean Zhou wasn't just calling to check on him.
"There's an on-site diagnosis that needs someone to go. Since you're free anyway, why don't you go for me? If you need anything, I'll arrange for someone to bring it to you."
Just as Li Bai had suspected, Dean Zhou clearly had a task for him.
He was going to be at home anyway and still getting paid, so this was the perfect job for him.
"Okay, I don't need anything urgently for now. I'll check the situation first." Li Bai agreed without hesitation, noting down the contact number and the address for the visit.
After hanging up, he dialed the number Dean Zhou had given him.
Seeking recommendation votes, the more the better.
