Cao Youqian's Little Stroke of Luck
"Brother Tyrant Fist, you're so amazing!"
In a collapsed mine shaft, Cao Youqian smashed all the rubble in front of him into dust with a single punch, and the road that had been buried by boulders reappeared in front of him.
Behind him stood a delicate young woman, her figure slender and graceful, like a willow branch that would bend at the slightest breeze.
The young woman wore an exquisite emerald green Glazed Immortal Dress, and every smile and gesture exuded charm.
Cao Youqian withdrew his fist and said calmly, "It was just a small test. Xiao Yi, are you sure there are any good treasures in this cave?"
Song Zhaoyi nodded slightly and took out a small, cute white mouse from her sleeve.
"Little White told me that there's something delicious in here."
Cao Youqian glanced at the Little White; it was a Gold-Devouring Rat, skilled at finding all sorts of rare and precious metals in the world. It seemed that he hadn't saved the little girl in vain.
A few days ago, he finally broke through to the Heavenly Origin Realm after a hundred days of seclusion. Thinking that almost two-thirds of the time he had spent in the Great Void Secret Realm had passed and he, Cao Youqian, had not yet obtained any treasures, he began to wander around the secret realm.
He had only just emerged from the secluded cave when he saw seven or eight cultivators chasing after Song Zhaoyi. He didn't want to pay any attention to them, since killing and robbing Sikong in the Great Void Secret Realm.
But just because he glanced at those guys, they tried to kill him. Cao Youqian had no choice but to fight back and kill them.
The young girl had followed him ever since to repay his life-saving grace, Cao Youqian was not seduced by her beauty and remained vigilant at all times.
It wasn't until three days ago, when Song Zhaoyi told him that she sensed treasure in the mountains, that Cao Youqian brought her to this cave.
He said casually, "I didn't expect you to have such a good thing."
Song Zhaoyi smiled Qianqian: "Thank you for the compliment, brother. I was just lucky to have won Xiao Yi 'Little White favor."
Cao Youqian, "Let it lead the way."
"Um."
Song Zhaoyi nodded, then placed the white Little White on the ground, and the two followed behind Little White.
Cao Youqian encountered Shi Kailu along the way, and a day later, iron ore finally appeared in front of the two men and the rat.
The Little White, upon seeing the iron ore, rushed over as if it were a delicious delicacy, grabbed a piece of iron ore, and began to gnaw on it.
Cao Youqian dug out an iron ore from the cave. Upon closer inspection, he noticed that the iron ore was emanating a strong, chilling aura, and his face instantly lit up with joy.
"Top-grade Profound Yin Cold Iron Ore, this is an ore that can be used to forge spiritual weapons, Xiao Yi, you've really given me a big surprise."
"As long as my brother thinks Xiao Yi is useful, that's good. After all, unlike her other sisters, Xiao Yi can't fight alongside her brother."
Song Zhaoyi spoke in a sweet, coquettish voice, so utterly captivating that even Cao Youqian, the former playboy, found it hard to resist.
Cao Youqian looked at Song Zhaoyi with a serious expression and said, "Xiao Yi, let's start eating."
???
Song Zhaoyi looked at Cao Youqian with a face full of questions. "Brother Tyrant Fist, what should we do?"
"Mining, of course."
Seeing her confusion, Cao Youqian asked, "Don't you have any mining tools?"
Song Zhaoyi dumbfounded. You look so powerful, how could you let such a fairy-like girl do such a rough thing as mining?
She pursed her lips and nodded. "Yes, I don't have any of those things on me."
"Don't worry, I'll take care of this little thing. I'll give you a surprise later."
As Cao Youqian spoke, he began rummaging through the storage bags of the cultivators he had previously suppressed.
Song Zhaoyi looked at Cao Youqian expectantly, thinking: No matter how strong you are, you still have to obediently mine for me.
"Got it!"
After scanning a storage bag with his divine sense, Cao Youqian smiled and took out a fine iron pickaxe from it, handing it over.
"Xiao Yi, with this fine iron pickaxe, we can happily mine together."
Song Zhaoyi: "..."
This guy is clearly so strong, why doesn't he have any sense of perception? Can't he see that I have absolutely no desire to mine?
Seeing her standing there in a daze, Cao Youqian asked curiously, "Don't you know how to mine? I'll teach you step by step."
???
Song Zhaoyi was stunned. For a moment, she didn't know if this guy was doing it on purpose or pretending. If he really didn't know anything about matters between men and women, he would never say such a thing.
"Please teach me, brother."
Soon Cao Youqian stood behind her and began to guide Song Zhaoyi in mining.
An hour later, Song Zhaoyi was already proficient in using a fine iron pickaxe to mine.
Cao Youqian nodded in satisfaction upon seeing her expression. "Good, then I'll start eating too."
Upon hearing this, Song Zhaoyi stopped what he was doing. He then saw Cao Youqian assume a fighting stance and slam his fist into the stone wall.
With a loud bang, the entire mine was filled with dust, making it difficult for Song Zhaoyi to open her eyes.
After the smoke cleared, she saw her Brother Tyrant Fist, happily picking up Profound Yin Cold Iron Ore.
I...
Song Zhaoyi's face turned green. "You could have helped me, why did you make me do it myself?"
Cao Youqian did not notice the change in Song Zhaoyi beside him. After throwing several punches in a row, he stopped what he was doing.
He stored the iron ore in a storage bag, then turned to Song Zhaoyi, who was still in a daze, and asked, "Xiao Yi, don't you like the top-grade Profound Yin Cold Iron Ore?"
???
Song Zhaoyi wanted to get angry, but she couldn't utter a single word.
"No, I just used up too much magic power, I'm out of energy."
"That's true, your small frame isn't really suited for mining." Cao Youqian looked at the mine shaft in front of him with a thoughtful expression.
Upon hearing this, Song Zhaoyi thought to herself: This guy is really torturous. Wouldn't it have been better if you had done this earlier?
Cao Youqian, "I'll clear a path in a bit, then you can chip the Profound Yin Cold Iron Ore out of the rock."
"Ah?"
Song Zhaoyi hadn't expected that she couldn't escape her fate of mining, so she could only nod and say, "Okay, Brother Tyrant Fist."
Cao Youqian then turned his gaze to the chubby-bellied Little White and said, "Lead the way and see if there are any better Profound Yin Cold Iron Ore."
After witnessing how terrifying the man in front of him was, Little White quickly pointed ahead.
Cao Youqian continued to throw punches. Although each punch was extremely powerful, he controlled the force of the punch perfectly. Each punch only blasted open the path in front of him, without causing any collapse.
Three days later.
Song Zhaoyi was completely numb. She didn't know how many pieces of iron ore she had knocked down, and her emerald green clothes had turned black.
At first, she would use Dust Removal Spell to get rid of the soot on her body, but later she chose to give up on herself.
Cao Youqian remained spotless, just as before. He threw another punch, and with a bang, the path ahead wasn't cleared, but a look of joy appeared on his face.
"We're almost there."
Upon hearing this, Song Zhaoyi immediately perked up, casually casting a Dust Removal Spell to restore her fairy-like appearance, and asked, "Brother Tyrant Fist, what's here?"
"The abundance of Profound Yin Cold Iron Ore here indicates the presence of Profound Yin Cold Iron Essence, a material used to craft sacred artifacts. We can't just leave this treasure trove empty-handed."
As soon as Cao Youqian finished speaking, his aura suddenly surged, and his oppressive aura instantly enveloped the entire mine.
"Squeak..."
The Little White sensed this terrifying pressure, squeaked, and finally jumped into its owner's lap.
Looking at Cao Youqian's tall figure and terrifying aura, Song Zhaoyi felt no fear, but rather a strong sense of security.
"Extreme Dao Divine Fist!!!"
Cao Youqian threw a punch, and a huge fist aura, carrying a terrifying fist shadow, slammed into the stone wall in front of him.
Bang!
A punch landed, a cracking sound came from the stone wall, and then the stone wall in front of it collapsed with a roar...
